It appears new information has come to light regarding Tracy Stone-Manning’s involvement in “tree pecking,” and now President Biden’s candidate for head of the Bureau of Land Management is refusing to answer questions from the Associated Press.

To be clear, Tracy Stone-Manning is a radical environmentalist and Democratic activist, however you cut her off. But what about its history with planting trees? This is what a caller asked us on our statewide radio show.

Tree enrichment, for those unaware, was a tactic used by radical environmentalists to block sales of timber that could seriously injure or kill loggers.

If I understood correctly, her defenders will claim that she ended up leaving the eco-terrorist group EarthFirst because of her objections to adding trees, and then she testified against them. So they will use history to defend it.

But apparently that’s not the whole story, as more and more documents are now coming to light.

According to the Associated Press:

As a 23-year-old graduate student at the University of Montana, Stone-Manning sent a letter to federal officials in 1989 saying that spikes had been inserted into trees in Idaho’s Clearwater National Forest. The blasphemy letter warned that “many people could be injured” if logging continued, according to court documents obtained by The Associated Press from federal records.

Wyoming Senator John Barrasso (R-WY) told the PA that Stone-Manning had collaborated with eco-terrorists.

While she enjoyed immunity from prosecution to testify against her companions in court, her actions were shameful. “

The Washington Times adds even more details about this 1989 case (which went to trial in 1993):

In her testimony in court, she said that she took the letter and re-typed it on a typewriter she rented from the university, changing some spelling mistakes and removing some profanity, and then typing it out. posted a few days after receiving it.

When asked why she had retyped it, Ms. Stone-Manning replied that she had done it because “I didn’t want it on my personal computer.”

The Washington Times also notes that Stone-Manning “said during the trial that she was not aware of other tree-hanging incidents, although Earth First! Did not hide its sympathies for the eco-sabotage “. In addition, it was featured in the same edition of their publication which openly celebrated tree spreading.

The Daily Caller also reports that Stone-Manning hid facts from the US Senate and changed her story over the years:

Stone-Manning did not reveal to the Senate committee that, according to the Missoulian’s reports at the time, she told reporters that she could have been charged with conspiracy in the case if US prosecutors had not granted her immunity from prosecution in exchange for his testimony. She also did not reveal that, according to the Missoulian, prosecutors investigating the case subpoenaed her in 1989 and asked her to turn over handwriting and hair samples to a federal grand jury.

Its affiliation with the radical EarthFirst! eco-terrorists is bad enough in itself. But now she’s hiding information from the US Senate, her story is constantly changing, and she doesn’t respond to multiple media outlets, including the Associated Press. Looks like it’s time to increase his appointment as head of the BLM.
