The April 22 Earth Day:

Responding to wide spread environmental degradation, United States Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin called for an Environmental Teach- in or Earth Day to be held on *April 22, 1970. Over 20 million people participated and it is now observed each year by more than 500 million people and national governments in 175 countries. Senator Gaylord Nelson, an environmental activist in the U.S. Senate, took a leading role in organizing the celebration, to demonstrate popular political support for an environmental agenda. He modeled it on the highly effective Vietnam War protests of the time. Senator Nelson selected Denis Hayes (a Harvard student and Stanford graduate) as the National Coordinator of activities. The nationwide event included opposition to the Vietnam War on the agenda. Pete Seeger was a keynote speaker and performer at the event held in Washington DC. Paul Newman and Ali McGraw attended the event held in New York City.

*April 22 1970 was the 100th birthday of Vladmir Lenin.

From The People's Cube:

Earth Day:

A day of action to save the earth from farmers, ranchers, mining, timber, oil, chemical companies, and anyone else who seeks to utilize the earth's resources to enhance, enrich, and extend the lives of Americans and others worldwide. Characterized by massive re-education campaign in progressive media and entertainment channels to (a) raise awareness about Americans being materialistic capitalist pigs who rape the earth, steal its riches, and are the cause of the world's environmental problems; (b) advocate greater government control of land, resources, and industries; and (c) raise white male guilt level even higher than it already is. Also a great way to politicize spring cleaning activities and provide ideological underpinning for the rebirth of nature. -from The People's Glossary

From a great liberal/socialist/"progressive" leader:

"I believe it is time that we take up with courage and clarity a political, social, collective and ideological offensive across the world — a real offensive that permits us to move progressively, over the next years, the next decades, leaving behind the perverse, destructive, destroyer, capitalist model and go forward in constructing the socialist model to avoid barbarism and beyond that the annihilation of life on this planet.

I believe this idea has a strong connection with reality. I don't think we have much time. Fidel Castro said in one of his speeches I read not so long ago, 'tomorrow could be too late, let's do now what we need to do'.

The environment is suffering damage that could be irreversible — global warming, the greenhouse effect, the melting of the polar ice caps, the rising sea level, hurricanes — with terrible social occurrences that will shake life on this planet."
--Hugo Chavez, at the 16th World Festival of Youth and Students, held in Caracas on August 8-15, 2005

They're now trying to run away from hippie murderer Ira Einhorn's major contribution to the earth day holiday, but their present day denials ring hollow.

Incidentally, Nikolai Lenin's real name is Vladimir Illych Ulanov. I thing Josef Stalin' real name is Josef Dhugashvilli.

Happy Birthday Nikolai Lenin.

Wow, I learn something new every time I’m here. But this is a freakin’ doozy.

[Don Corleone]

Senator Gaylord Nelson, an environmental activist in the U.S. Senate,

With a name like Gaylord he should be dealing cards on a riverboat...../sarc

Here's how the crime library describes it: Einhorn crime library (excerpt):<<<<<<"(Einhorn) became a New-Age networker with CEOsSold them blueprints of the future," exclaims Maralyn Lois Polak in the WorldNet Daily. "(He) launched (Philadelphia's) Earth Day celebration. Ran for Mayor of Philadelphia as a self-proclaimed Planetary Enzyme, a catalyst for global change."

Nikolai Lenin: a biographical sketch of a great leader (excerpt)>>>>>>ON April 10 (old style), 53 years ago, in the year 1870 to be exact, was born in the province of Simbirsk, Vladimir Ilyitch Oulianov (Lenin). <<<<<<

My mom just got all upset on me for trying to tell her what Earth day really is. She said I (probably we fellow freepers) get too excited about this sort of thing.

We get over excited about these things because we need to compensate for the millions of apathetic folks out there who have no clue what's going on. They hear nothing of these things on the liberal-left network news, from their college or high school professors, from the 'entertainment' industry and so forth. Tell your mom she needs to help spread the word. Earth Day is just the tip of the melting iceberg. There's also the commmunist-led so-called "anti-war" movement and a host of other BS movements.

Your mother reminds me of mine. She told me, near the end of her beautiful life, do not write (in my community newspaper) about religion or politics. My father reveled in controversy and guided me to understand the importance of being courageous in the truth.
Your mother can be a peacemaker only because there are strong men willing to fight to protect her.

[Verginius Rufus]

Stalin's real name was Dzhugashvili (with the accent on the -shvi-).

There is a funny German film with the title "Goodbye, Lenin!" What we need is for someone to make a movie called "Goodbye, Earth Day!"
