Children Are An ‘Environmental Hazard,’ According To Biden Nominee

President Biden has nominated Tracy Stone-Manning to head up the Bureau of Land Management, even though she has advocated in the past for population control, and in an advertisement, referred to a young child as an “environmental hazard.”

In her 1992 graduate thesis, Stone-Manning focused on overpopulation and created eight advertisements to convince Americans to have fewer children. According to reporting by the Daily Caller, Stone-Manning argued, “If there were fewer of us, we would have less impact [on the environment]. We must consume less, and more importantly, we must breed fewer consuming humans.”

The thesis included the image of a toddler with the caption, “Can you find the environmental hazard in this photo?” Underneath the photo, she wrote, “That’s right, it’s a cute baby. […] Stop at two. It could be the best thing you do for the planet.”

In addition, she wrote a script for a television ad that featured a woman drinking coffee and considering having a third child. The woman said to herself, “I know it would be my third baby, but there’s not a population problem here like in Africa or India … and besides, smart people like Bob and me should be the people having kids.”

The ad then cuts to footage of smokestacks and overflowing landfills with a voiceover that stated,

A child born in America will burn 499 times more energy than a child born in Ethiopia. And each year, Americans add two million energy-eating humans to the earth. We consume one quarter of the world’s resources, simply by living as Americans. When we have children, the planet feels it more. Do the truly smart thing. Stop at one or two kids.

Stone-Manning explained that the advertisements were geared towards couples planning a family to show them that “the earth can’t afford Americans.” She said she wanted the ads to be “ironic and shocking, because irony and shock have value. They stop readers and viewers, making them pay attention.”

Dictating how many children a couple has is an overreach that has proven to have horrific results.

China’s population control policies have lead to forced abortions and sterilizations, the exploitation of women, and pregnancy discrimination. The human rights abuses that have occurred in China in the name of “family planning” have also caused a skewing of the male-to-female ratio, as parents abort their preborn baby girls or abandon their newborn daughters in hopes of having a son.

Yet, it is population decline that is of concern to economic experts. Researchers from the University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation said that the global fertility rate was nearly cut in half in 2017. It currently sits at 2.4%, but research published in the journal Lancet projects it will far as 1.7% by the year 2100. In some nations, the population decline has led governments to create incentives for couples to have more children and to raise the age of retirement.

In 2019, the United States birth rate fell to its lowest point since 1985. Based on statistics from December 2020, the birth rate is now below replacement level. More people are dying than are being born, which will have a detrimental impact on the economic future of the nation.

In addition to advocating for population control, Stone-Manning participated in eco-terrorism. In 1989, she testified against tree-spikers in exchange for immunity for herself. Tree-spiking is when eco-terrorists hammer metal spikes into trees; left unnoticed, the spikes damage the saws used to cut the trees down. But worse, they can cause serious injuries and deaths. The Montana Kaimin reported at the time that Stone-Manning was one of seven people served subpoenas, and was forced to provide fingerprints, palm prints, handwriting samples, and hair samples to the federal grand jury.

On Tuesday, the government watchdog group Protect the Public’s Trust filed a complaint with the acting U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia regarding whether or not Stone-Manning lied to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee about her involvement in the tree-spiking incident and calling for an investigation. Multiple senators have accused her of proving false answers to the committee, and want President Biden to revoke her nomination. Yet the Biden administration is continuing to stand by Stone-Manning, even as this damaging information becomes public.

“Tracy Stone-Manning is a dedicated public servant who has years of experience and a proven track record of finding solutions and common ground when it comes to our public lands and waters,” a Biden-Harris administration official said in a statement to Fox News. “She is exceptionally qualified to be the next Director of the Bureau of Land Management.”

Religious Fanaticism: Giving All to “Mother Earth”

If you think Tracy Stone-Manning’s radical ideas stopped after her school years, think again. Last September, amid mass wildfires on the west coast, Stone-Manning promoted an article, written two years prior by her husband, which advocated for letting houses caught in fires “burn.”

Fox News reported:

Stone-Manning pushed her husband Richard Manning’s 2018 Harper’s Magazine article on wildfires where he wrote the “political issue” surrounding people living in or around forests is “easily solved” by having the federal government make fighting fires “a social contract.”

“Perhaps the feds should commit themselves to refusing to send in the troops to any county that has not taken such measures,” Manning wrote. “Perhaps the solution to houses in the interface is to let them burn.”

The president’s nominee to lead BLM, one of the agencies charged with fighting fires on federal land, shared her husband’s article and called it a “Clarion call.”

“Not a bad time to revisit this piece from my husband, Richard Manning, from two years ago,” Stone-Manning tweeted in September 2020. “Clarion call. #ActOnClimate”

The over-population conversation, which Biden’s nominee espoused, has been long propagated by the Globalists elite through major funding campaigns related to abortion, contraception, euthanasia, and more.

China’s one-child policy was perpetrated through regularly forced and often gender-selective abortions. TownHall, in an article titled, “Abortion: Setting Themselves Up As God,” explains the sinister way china inforced its one-child-policy:

A documentary titled “One Child Nation” is one of the most recent takes on China’s one-child policy imposed between 1980 and 2016 that was supposed to lift the nation out of poverty but ended up turning a cultural preference for boys into the widespread “gendercide” of millions of baby girls.

Others have explored the horrific implications of this policy. Nine years ago, The Economist provided the shocking statistic that 100 million baby girls had been aborted, killed after birth, abandoned or sold to child trafficking gangs who then sell the babies to foreigners for large sums of money.

Many writers describe the horror. (Warning Disturbing) Not as many honestly discuss how China got to the point where babies could be drowned in buckets of water; strangled with their own umbilical cord; tossed into dumpsters and waterways; or thrown, newly born, into public streets, where they were ignored by passersby and left to cry and die of exposure — that is, if they were not run over by vehicles. And then there were the forced abortions — even of full-term babies — and the brutal sterilizations of women.

The article then went on to argue that the reason for the Chinese Communist government enforcing these atrocities is rooted in their attempt to “set itself up as God”:

No doubt there are plenty of historical, political and even cultural reasons why millions of babies were aborted, abandoned after birth or deliberately killed. But the overarching reason is that the Chinese government set itself up as God. There can be no authority higher than that of the humans in control, no objectives better than the policies they themselves dictate and no criteria by which the “goodness” of those objectives is independently assessed. The government has decided that X should be done, and, therefore, X is good and shall be done. Any means by which X is achieved is, therefore, also good — as long as the government says so. This is how the government could order the Chinese people to perpetrate inhuman crimes against the most innocent, and the Chinese people would do it.

The Bible tells us that in the last days, there would be a “loss of natural affection.” This is prominent in any society that desensitized and decriminalizes the murder of the weakest and precious children among them.

We are also told about the widespread deception and globalism that will permeate the end times.

Last October, Rapture Ready published an article titled, “Heartbreak: How Climate Change is Manipulating Youth and Paving the way for a One World Government.” The author in the article explains how ‘Climate Change’ has become a religion and how the Anti-Christ may use this Climate Lie in his new world order:

The most religious people I have ever met in my life are avid environmentalists. They possess all the earmarks of passionate believers in a religion: They worship the earth; it’s the god to which they bow down and give their lives to protect. They follow the lead of self-appointed gurus and accept their predictions of doom as gospel.

The Church of Sweden announced that climate-change alarmist Greta Thunberg, again a child, was “the successor” to Jesus Christ.

They promote their own version of a doomsday scenario with salvation consisting of saving the earth from all the evils caused by humans.

In short, they worship creation rather than the Creator just as the apostle Paul said would happen (see Romans 1:19-23). There’s nothing new about the environmental religion except perhaps where it’s taking the world in these last days.

The book of Revelation tells us that, during the tribulation, the antichrist will exert worldwide control through a totalitarian world order. It’s no surprise that Pope Francis, the most prominent advocate of a world government to combat the dire emergency of global warming, also works tirelessly to form a unified worldwide religion. The two may someday become inseparable.

Of course, it is right and honorable to do all we can to protect God’s creation. He gave it to us to use, not abuse. This is our Father’s world, and we should do what we can to preserve it during our time here.

The Bible, however, tells us this current earth has an end date. Jesus Himself said, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away” (Matthew 24:35). The words of my Lord, Genesis through the book of Revelation, are eternal; they will stand forever, but not what we see around us.

As Abortion Pill Cases Hit The Supreme Court, US Sees Highest Number Of Abortions In Over A Decade

“Abortion supporters try to make it sound more acceptable and less barbaric by saying that it ‘terminates a pregnancy.' But medication abortions, as they are called, are just another way to deliberately end the life of an unborn child—and that should be called what it is—murder.”

Purim: Jewish Survival Isn’t Contingent On The World’s Hostility, But The Power Of God

Today, we have the same spirit of the annihilation of the Jews coming from the same part of the world. Modern Iranian leaders are obsessed with the spirit of Haman even today. We don’t need an Esther in the palace anymore. We need the prayers of the saints worldwide.
