#137 Earth Day's Real History, Part One

On April 22, 1970, a trio of radical dreamers established the first Earth Day, an annual event designed to assault capitalism, free-markets and mankind. After careful consideration a name and date for the event were chosen: the inaugural “Earth Day” would be celebrated April 22, 1970—Russian dictator Vladimir Lenin’s Centennial. As you will discover in this episode, Environmentalists have always admired Lenin. He was the first disciple of Karl Marx to gain control of a country, and he created the mold for future environmentalists.
