The Today Show Celebrates Communist Holiday
American Spectator ^ | March 11, 201 | Paul Kengor

Posted on 03/11/2019 2:22:52 PM PDT by detective

O n Friday morning I was sitting alone gumming a bowl of oatmeal in the breakfast area of a Hampton Inn in Pontiac, Illinois, when I was assaulted by an absurdity on the widescreen TV. There I was, calmly minding my own business, keeping my big mouth shut for a change, opening it only for the next scoop of tastelessness. Just then, a group of maniacs from the Today show ruined my tranquility by babbling obliviously and ecstatically about International Women’s Day.

International Women’s Day? Seriously? Had I slipped back in time a hundred years ago to, er, Leningrad, March 8, 1919? Judging from the giggling guy and gals on the screen, I had not. I checked my phone. It was March 8, 2019. And I was in America.

I think “Earth Day” is actually Lenin’s birthday.

“I think “Earth Day” is actually Lenin’s birthday.”

Earth Day is not only Lenin’s birthday, but the first earth day was 4/22/1970 exactly 100 years after Lenin’s birth.

When they celebrated Earth Day, they celebrated the centennial of Lenin’s birth.

It’s also Mad Moe’s birthday. Hitler’s birthday is April 22. It’s like a black hole of time that sucks down souls.

The very first Earth Day occurred on Lenin's 100th birthday! Coincidence? Lol!

Even the liberal History Channel calls it for what it is...

Controversy clouds the history of International Women’s Day. According to a common version of the holiday’s origins, it was established in 1907, to mark the 50th anniversary of a brutally repressed protest by New York City’s female garment and textile workers.

But there’s a problem with that story: Neither the 1857 protest nor the 50th anniversary tribute may have actually taken place.

In fact, research that emerged in the 1980s suggested that origin myth was invented in the 1950s, as part of a Cold War-era effort to separate International Women’s Day from its socialist roots.

The historian Temma Kaplan revisited the first official National Woman’s Day, held in New York City on February 28, 1909. (The organizers, members of the Socialist Party of America, wanted it to be on a Sunday so that working women could participate.)

Thousands of people showed up to various events uniting the suffragist and socialist causes, whose goals had often been at odds. Labor organizer Leonora O’Reilly and others addressed the crowd at the main meeting in the Murray Hill Lyceum, at 34th Street and Third Avenue.

In Brooklyn, writer Charlotte Perkins Gilman (of “The Yellow Wall-paper” fame) told the congregation of the Parkside Church: “It is true that a woman’s duty is centered in her home and motherhood…[but] home should mean the whole country, and not be confined to three or four rooms or a city or a state.” ...”

In recognition of its importance, Vladimir Lenin, founder of Russia’s Communist Party, declared Woman’s Day an official Soviet holiday in 1911.

Communists in Spain and China later adopted the holiday as well.

(Sometime after 1945, the terminology shifted, and “Woman’s Day” became “Women’s Day.”)

Until the mid-1970s, International Women’s Day would be celebrated primarily in socialist countries. ...”

Earth Day, April 22, 1970:
"The nationwide event included opposition to the Vietnam War on the agenda, but this was thought to detract for the environmental message. Pete Seeger was a keynote speaker and performer at the event held in Washington DC."

NYT Writer Corrects Record: Pete Seeger 'Only' 40 Years Late in Denouncing Stalin
By P.J. Gladnick
2007-09-02

The New York Times has now corrected [1] a "smear" about Pete Seeger being 50 years too late in denouncing Stalin. Thanks to the intrepid research of Times reporter Daniel J. Wakin, the record has now been set straight. Pete Seeger was only about 40 years too late in criticizing Stalin.

So, wondering what the Communist "icon" Pete Seeger is up to these days?
