The EPA was born on December 2, 1970 in an government order by Republican President Richard Nixon. Congressional hearings adopted. It was a time when rivers have been catching hearth repeatedly in the USA.
It was successfully murdered on July 29, 2025 by the MAGA Republican White Home occupant*. Will the MAGA congress object—or lawsuits achieve time to rescue it?
Below MAGA’S area, EPA is now not an Company to Shield the Atmosphere, however an Company for Selling Ecocide. And, after all, Matricide.
This newest model of EPA is certain to end result within the killing of Mom Earth as we all know her and future generations of kids. Subsequently it’s a motion of Matricide, killing of our Mom for generations coming after us.
It should lead to extra world warming and extra environmental hazards, polluted air, toxins, wildfires, hurricanes and extra rape of Mom Earth. It guarantees extra fast money within the pockets of fossil gasoline companies that don’t wish to be bothered by legal guidelines that counsel the frequent good issues.
Or that capitalism and earnings ought to have limits. It’s the epitome of what Pope Francis known as, “savage capitalism.” Its premise is that justice for future generations of vegetation, animals, and people has no place on the desk when choices are made in boardrooms and on Wall Avenue that resolve the way forward for our planet.
Will the Moms, Fathers, Grandparents and Nice Grandparents of America stand up and inform it like it’s? And vote MAGA out?
It impacts not simply Individuals–what occurs to Mom Earth in America or anyplace else on Earth impacts all people and all other-than-human creatures throughout the planet.
Will religions stand up and shout about this evil killing happening? Will the American Catholic Bishops go away Opus Dei behind, rise up and shout out on behalf of Mom Earth as Pope Francis’ encyclical Laudato Sí instructed us to do? Will each Catholic parish in America do the identical?
Saint and Physician of the Church Hildegard of Bingen had this to say about defending Mom Earth:
The Earth shouldn’t be injured!
The Earth shouldn’t be destroyed!
The earth is on the identical time Mom.
She is the Mom of all that’s pure,
Mom of all that’s human.
She is the Mom of all,
for contained in her are the seeds of all.
In one other prayer she identifies God, the “I’m,” and Knowledge with Earth itself—which suggests MAGA’s killing of the Earth is deicide as nicely.
As I wrote about in my e book on the Cosmic Christ 27 years in the past, Gaia is being crucified. This time, it isn’t the Roman Empire that’s nailing Jesus to the cross, however MAGA that’s nailing Gaia to the cross.
Hildegard writes (Knowledge and God are talking):
I’m the one whose reward echoes on excessive.
I adorn all of the earth.
I’m the breeze that nurtures all issues inexperienced.
I encourage blossoms to flourish with ripening fruits.
I’m led by the spirit to feed the purest streams.
I’m the rain coming from the dew
that causes the grasses to giggle with the enjoyment of life
I name forth tears, the aroma of holy work
I’m the craving for good.
Within the homicide of the EPA, we’re witnessing the mortal sin of ecocide—which means a lethal alternative by each congress particular person and citizen who doesn’t rise up and object. And the media—will they object? Will the church buildings communicate loud and clear? Will everybody with a conscience in our nation?
