Author Rick Turnquist has a conversation with Kim on his latest essay, Earth Day. Earth Day and Lenin’s birthday are both on April 22nd. Founded in 1970, Earth Day’s early stalwarts came mainly from a progressive Leftist background, the result of which has seen the ostensibly innocuous and noble purpose of the day perverted into a political tool and propaganda device for progressives. Other notable early Earth Day celebrities include the notorious Ira Einhorn, who helped found the event. In 1977 Einhorn brutally murdered and composted Holley Maddux, his former girlfriend.
