Is that a fact? I've wondered this for a long time.

The first Earth Day I remember actually being a thing where I was growing up happen to be on Easter Sunday. I just looked it up at this coincidence happened a few years into Earth Day, but the whole thing was either not a big thing yet (at least where I lived) or I just wasn't paying attention. So, for a long time, I thought it was started as a mockery of Easter.

When Earth Day became so big that it couldn't be ignored, and I saw that it wasn't on Easter, I wondered why the change. It was only in the last couple of years that I realized that it's not a "changeable feast" for the Godless. I was wondering why they picked this date.

It makes sense.

It makes sense.

I heard this from a reliable source, so I looked it up and sure enough, it was 1870 when Vladimir Ilich Ulyanov (he changed his name to Lenin in 1901) was born, curiously exactly 100 years before the first Earth Day. You could say he was "ahead of his time."

And if it isn't entirely off-topic, before the first centennial of his birth, the political movement he would begin would become the cause of death for over 100-million people. Some estimates say 140 million, but who's counting? Certainly not the "progressives" like Hil-la-ry followers.

BTW here is a wonderful article by a very entertaining scholar, Dr. Paul Kengor, professor of political science and executive director of The Center for Vision & Values at Grove City College. Dr. Kengor admits that nobody has officially, honestly, authoritatively and openly proclaimed Earth Day as a successor to Lenin's Birthday, but let's face it, such things are nothing new in the Red propaganda legacy. I know this for sure because I just finished reading None Dare Call It Treason, a fine historic snapshot of conservative and courageous historical perspective which was not afraid to call it what it is when it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck: "It's a duck."

I thought it would be good to read about 1964, the year after JFK was αssαssιnαtҽd, when these days none dare call it treason, what Hil-la-ry has been doing. I wasn't wrong.

In light of all this, I find it nothing short of expected that there would be a countermeasures campaign afoot to discredit any ties between Earth Day and Ulyanov's birthday. Hey, maybe that's what they mean by Earth Day has nothing to do with Lenin's Birthday, because his name wasn't Lenin!

The article, "Happy Earth Day ~ and Lenin Day," headlines with the following photo, but the article itself is in Adobe Flash and I don't know how to copy that:

Thank you for this history lessen. I'm printing out the article and using this information to discuss with my children for their civics class today. Most interesting.

The first Earth Day occurred on April 22, 1970. On that day the following predictions were made:

Quote

Denis Hayes, the chief organizer for the first Earth Day, wrote, "It is already too late to avoid mass starvation."

Senator gαylord Nelson, the founder of Earth Day, stated, "Dr. S. Dillon Ripley, secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, believes that in 25 years, somewhere between 75 and 80 percent of all the species of living animals will be extinct."

Peter Gunter, a professor at North Texas State University, stated, "... by 1975 widespread famines will begin in India; these will spread by 1990 to include all of India, Pakistan, China and the Near East, Africa. By the year 2000, or conceivably sooner, South and Central America will exist under famine conditions.... By the year 2000, thirty years from now, the entire world, with the exception of Western Europe, North America, and Australia, will be in famine."

Paul Ehrlich, author of The Population Bomb, predicted that between 1980 and 1989, 4 billion people, including 65 million Americans, would starve to death.

Life Magazine wrote, "... by 1985 air pollution will have reduced the amount of sunlight reaching earth by one half."

Ecologist Kenneth Watt stated, "The world has been chilling sharply for about twenty years. If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder for the global mean temperature in 1990, but eleven degrees colder in the year 2000. This is about twice what it would take to put us into an ice age."

Watt also stated, "By the year 2000, if present trends continue, we will be using up crude oil at such a rate…that there won’t be any more crude oil."

A: Vladimir Lenin's Birthday.

This makes good sense given that the tribalist - pantheistic "Earth's Day" is just another invention coming from Bolshevik Communism. There is a reason why it was declared by the Jєωιѕн United Nations after a proposal by Marxist - Liberation theologian - Evo Morales, the president of Bolivia.

Needless to say, it opposes Catholic doctrine because it is pagan and anti-Christian in its very core: it makes "Mother Earth" a goddess in itself. Like everything else, in later times, the Marxist ecological agenda is presented as something "positive" and humanistic appealing to the emotion-ridden, naturalistic masses; when in reality, is yet another devil-driven trick to separate souls from the One True God, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Thus a year on which Lent was reallly late in the 20th century, occurring on April 22 in a very few years after the invention of "Earth Day":
· 1973, and
· 1984.

Well, I did write "very few", so in the 21st century,
we'll have these opportunities for the same coïcidence:

Yes. It was in 1973 that I first heard of Earth Day. I don't remember anything more for several years. It really wasn't something promoted in the schools where I lived in the 1970s. I don't remember where or why I even heard about it. I started hearing about it on a consistent annual basis only in the late 1980s or early 1990s.

You're most welcome! I defer to Paul Kengor for being really interesting, though.

You have very fortunate children, TKGS! John A. Stormer's None Dare Call It Treason might be worth taking a look at for their sake, as well. In its first edition, it sold over 8 million copies in its first 9 months, starting January, 1964; sometimes reprinted three or four times in the same month: it was a HOT seller. The whole book would be a bit dry in places for them, because of the frequent names, dates, organizations and places mentioned, but Stormer puts into print a number of sentences you'd NEVER see in the MSM. It was "politically incorrect" before anyone had ever heard the term ("PC" started up in the mid-90's, as I recall).

Thank you very much for this post, Dolores, because when I read it, it prepared me for what was to come later on, the next day!

I'm glad I read this before I heard Dennis Bartel on KUSC (91.5 FM, Los Angeles) this morning. At 8:01 am Pacific Daylight Time (UTC -7) he said:

Quote from: Dennis Bartel

The first Earth Day was held in 1970, but it wasn't recognized publicly; it was held in certain colleges and schools, and only in America. On that day, these are some of the predictions made:

"... By 1985 air pollution will have reduced the amount of sunlight reaching earth by one half."

"In 25 years, somewhere between 75 and 80 percent of all the species of living animals will be extinct."

"By the year 2000, if present trends continue, we will be using up crude oil at such a rate…that there won’t be any more crude oil."

Or were they talking about how there won't be any more gasoline for a dollar a gallon -- maybe that's what they were trying to say! Well, they were not too accurate in their predictions, but perhaps that's because Earth Day has taken hold and has been able to do so much!

And now, to celebrate Earth Day, we'll do something to clean up the waters. Here is Handel's Water Music, for a happy Earth Day here on KUSC ....

I couldn't help but notice how he avoided the more unpleasant quotes found on Wikipedia under Earth Day (from your post, above):

Denis Hayes, the chief organizer for the first Earth Day, wrote, "It is already too late to avoid mass starvation."

Peter Gunter, a professor at North Texas State University, stated, "... by 1975 widespread famines will begin in India; these will spread by 1990 to include all of India, Pakistan, China and the Near East, Africa.

This is about twice what it would take to put us into an ice age."

---That last one is especially unpleasant for environmentalists today because it highlights the entirely opposite tack in fear-mongering that they used in the beginning. They tried to warn us that the earth was cooling off to extremes, but apparently that schtick wasn't catching on to well, since later on they turned their message on its head by claiming that global WARMing was going to be an extreme problem. I suppose you could say environmentalists are extremists.

Here's another possibility!

Perhaps April 22nd was chosen for Earth Day because this year it's the 100th anniversary of the birth of Yehudi Menuhin (1916-1999), famous violin virtuoso and music tutor.

Well, that might work if this year was the first Earth Day, but it started after all, in 1970.

Maybe Yehudi Menuhin's birthday could be the beginning of our awareness of how important classical music is for the good of Mother Earth!

(That would be so much more cheerful than commemorating the mass murderer and ιnѕυrrєcтισnist, Barabbas,,,,,,, wait,,,,,,, I mean Vladimir Ulyanov (a.k.a. "Lenin"!))

It's Earth Day and millions of people across the world are celebrating with events about global warming. President Obama will travel to Florida via fossil fuel powered Air Force One to give a speech in the Everglades and last weekend people in Washington D.C. celebrated early by trashing the National Mall.

But like many far-left movements, Earth Day has a dark past and was co-founded by a guy who killed and composted his girlfriend.

Ira Einhorn was on stage hosting the first Earth Day event at the Fairmount Park in Philadelphia on April 22, 1970. Seven years later, police raided his closet and found the "composted" body of his ex-girlfriend inside a trunk.

A self-proclaimed environmental activist, Einhorn made a name for himself among ecological groups during the 1960s and '70s by taking on the role of a tie-dye-wearing ecological guru and Philadelphia’s head hippie. With his long beard and gap-toothed smile, Einhorn — who nicknamed himself "Unicorn" because his German-Jєωιѕн last name translates to "one horn" —advocated flower power, peace and free love to his fellow students at the University of Pennsylvania. He also claimed to have helped found Earth Day.

Protecting the environment is a laudable goal, so long as eco-fascism is left out of it. Composting your girlfriend however, is not.

[Incidentally, the typo "remibder" in place of reminder in the URL address could only have been keyed by a non-typist, like a hunt-and-peck typer. The "n" is struck with the right index finger and the "b" with the left index finger. You never reach so far left with the right finger to hit the b, and the left hand would never be used for an n, so as to hit the b by mistake.]
