For those of you coming in late to the party, Earth Day” is on
Lenin’s Birthday. Not a coincidence, given that the “founder” of Earth
Day was much more a “Watermelon” than an actual environmentalist. Watermelon: Thin layer of green of the outside, red to the core.
“Civilization will end within 15 or 30 years unless immediate action
is taken against problems facing mankind.” — George Wald, Harvard
Biologist
“Population will inevitably and completely outstrip whatever small
increases in food supplies we make. The death rate will increase until
at least 100-200 million people per year will be starving to death
during the next ten years.” — Paul Ehrlich, Stanford University
biologist
“By…[1975] some experts feel that food shortages will have escalated
the present level of world hunger and starvation into famines of
unbelievable proportions. Other experts, more optimistic, think the
ultimate food-population collision will not occur until the decade of
the 1980s.” — Paul Ehrlich, Stanford University biologist
“It is already too late to avoid mass starvation,” — Denis Hayes, chief organizer for Earth Day
“Demographers agree almost unanimously on the following grim
timetable: 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.” — Peter Gunter,
professor, North Texas State University
“Scientists have solid experimental and theoretical evidence to
support…the following predictions: In a decade, urban dwellers will have
to wear gas masks to survive air pollution…by 1985 air pollution will
have reduced the amount of sunlight reaching earth by one half….” — Life
Magazine, January 1970
“At the present rate of nitrogen buildup, it’s only a matter of time
before light will be filtered out of the atmosphere and none of our land
will be usable.” — Kenneth Watt, Ecologist
“Air pollution…is certainly going to take hundreds of thousands of
lives in the next few years alone.” — Paul Ehrlich, Stanford University
biologist
Ok, Ehrlich was sorta right on
this, if you restrict his predictions to modern Communist China, where
they are showing the typical communist/socialist contempt for the
environment.
“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. You’ll
drive up to the pump and say, `Fill ‘er up, buddy,’ and he’ll say, `I am
very sorry, there isn’t any.’” — Kenneth Watt, Ecologist
Now we get to my personal favorite, although probably not Al Gore‘s… “The
world has been chilling sharply for about twenty years,” he declared.
“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.” — Kenneth Watt, Ecologist

“I went to Communism as one goes to a spring of fresh water, and I left Communism as one clambers out of a poisoned river strewn with the wreckage of flooded cities and the corpses of the drowned.”
— Arthur Koestler (1905-1983) Hungarian – British author
“What do you do if you are the New York Times and 20 people show up to the white-supremacist rally that you had been breathlessly billing as further proof of the normalization of hatred in the Donald Trump era? Expand the definition of “white supremacist” to cover a large portion of the American electorate and its representatives.”
I love that people are acting like if elections were fair, Hillary would be president. If elections were fair, Hillary wouldn’t have been the democrat nominee to begin with.
“Even though socialism in its many forms has never succeeded in producing anything but death and chaos – the proletariat dictatorship never withers away; in fact, it only grows stronger in a totalitarian centralized government – dreams of a perfectly just and equal society never fade. In fact, like a monster from an old sci-fi movie, they continue to jump back up out of the swamp just when you think the monster is dead.”
Note that the only one leftist in the clip who actually knows what a Keynesian is. He is also clearly stoned off his gourd, so he is probably enjoying the protest more than most.

“The Democrats’ central concern isn’t that taxes will be raised on the middle class, but that Republicans are taking away money that Democrats believe belongs to the federal government. This is the root of all the “heist” rhetoric — Democrats no longer believe in the basic principle of private property.
