Is Earth Day a Communist Plot?
Did you know that Earth Day is also Lenin’s birthday? According to some sources, the choice of April 22 in 1970 as the first Earth Day was intentional as it was also the 100th birthday celebration of Lenin. According to Leftbooks.com, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported:
When Earth Day started in 1970, one of Georgia’s leading politicians tried to warn President Nixon, state governors and other national leaders that it was a Communist plot in disguise.
Others view the choice of April 22 to celebrate Earth Day as a distraction from this birthday celebrated in other parts of the world.

Raise high the banner of Marxism-Leninism! The inevitable revolution will smash the running dogs of capitalism that feed on the lives of the people!
It doesn’t matter that a bunch a ideological nuts started Earth Day. The fact is, they no longer own that day. Actually, capitalism is indeed making a big business out of that day - see Wal-Mart and other big capitalistic companies celebrations of Earth Day
Lots of people were born or died on April 22 (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_22).
Some good, some evil. That’s irrelevant.
April 22 is Earth Day. Period. Not the celebration of the birth of some communist whack job.
