Front Page StoryWhen the big hand says Thirteen Moon Calendarby Judi McLeod, Canadafreepress.com August 27, 2004
The United Nations, which has a finger in every global pie, and ambitions to take over the World Internet, is inching its way towards calendar reform. Long on lofty words and windy clauses, the official UN description for calendar reform is, "Calendar Reform and the Future of Civilization" (CRFC). Ostensibly, the UN rejected considering calendar reform in 1995 as part of its 50th anniversary. Within four years, UN officials were passing calendar duty over to lifetime activist for peace, Dr. José Argüelles, an originator of Earth Day. Dr. Arguelles’ World Summit on Peace and Time was convened on June 22-27, 1999 at the UN-owned University for Peace, in Costa Rica. Why is the UN itching to change the method by which the world tells time? It’s the Gregorian Calendar. Having replaced the Julian Calendar, the Gregorian was instituted by papal decree in the year AD 1582 and adopted by virtually all nations as the common world standard. Accepted by virtually all nations notwithstanding, the Gregorian Calendar is irksome to New Agers because the whole world marks time based on the Birth of Jesus Christ. And as far as the occultist UN is concerned, that will never do. So why not break and fix it? If the concept of throwing the Gregorian Calendar out to replace it with the World Thirteen Moon 28-day Calendar of Peace isn’t ludicrous enough, calendar challengers say they are basing their reform on "common sense". "By rational discourse and common sense, it has been determined that the Gregorian Calendar does not represent a true or accurate standard of measure or belong to any systematic science of time, and hence, is worthy of reform," states a CRFC resolution from the World Summit on Peace and Time. The usual suspects were on hand when more than one hundred "followers of the World Thirteen Calendar Change Peace Movement" convened at the Costa Rican summit. Letters of acknowledgement were sent to the summit on behalf of UN Secretary-General, Kofi Annan; Secretary-General of UNESCO, Federico Mayor Zaragoza; His Holiness, the Dalai Lama; and by Jonathan Granoff of the Lawyers Alliance for World Security. Dr. Rodrigo Carazo, former President of Costa Rica and founder of the University gave the opening address for Peace. In attendance with Dr. Carazo was Gerardo Bidowski, acting Rector and representative of the then newly appointed President of the University for Peace, Maurice Strong. Seven commissions were set up during a four-day period and participating was former UN assistant Secretary-General Robert Muller, now UP chancellor, who gave a guided tour of the archeology and history o f the site of the University of Peace which was concluded by a walk to his nearby residence. The Thirteen Moon "Natural Time" Calendar is touted as "a universal application of the mathematics and cosmology of the Mayan calendar as deciphered by Dr. Jose Arguelles. Ph.D., and presents a simple yet so profound opportunity to shift our everyday consciousness." Described on his Internet home page as "both a visionary and a prophet", Dr. Arguelles bestowed upon himself the pagan name of, "Valum Votan". In a New Age magazine interview, he said it was "not until after he experimented with LSD that he realized he was a visionary." The final goal is to change the calendar from its present "artificial" 12-month year to a more "natural" 13-month year that more closely parallels the lunar and biological cycles. The results and declarations from the World Summit on Peace and Time have been submitted to the General Assembly of the UN. Wild and weird as it may sound, the Thirteen Moon Natural Time Peace Calendar could replace the Gregorian Calendar, courtesy of future UN resolution. It is, after all, Canadian Maurice Strong and former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev who, under the auspices of the UN, are working on an agenda to replace the Ten Commandments with the Earth Charter.

Beats me. You opposed to Daylight Savings Time?
SHEEEEESH !!!!
Next they'll be wanting us to go METRIC !!!
Nope.
There was a beautiful theological logic underlying the March 25 (essentially Vernal Equinox) New Year; Creation, the creation of the New Adam, and Christ's sacrifice for Adam's sin all converging on the same day, and all at the beginning of the annual cycle of life in the Northern Hemisphere.
Maybe the "April fools" who clung to the Julian calendar were wiser after all!
In the Book of Daniel, '...he will think to change times and laws.'
Well, that's just a great idea. But I spent over a minute thinking about it, and have come up with the real solution - smartly decouple the length of a day from that old school "one planet turn" thing. My day lengths would continueally adjust with the amount of daylight (longer in the summer, shorter in the winter). With existing watch/chip technology this could easily be iomplemented.
Once this decoupling is done, the skids are greased.
In fact, I would go one step farther and institute "global time" - whereby it's 10:10:10 everywhere in the world at the same time.
I will be submitting my solution to the U.N. tomorrow for humble consideration. One person can make a difference (and in this case, just in time).
Ah, I knew it was in The Book somewhere. Thanks.
WHOA! And we thought Y2K was a problem!!
IMO, this already has been done. The lunar calendar was used when that prophecy was made.
Yes. Actually, it did pre-date Christianity. So did Julius Caesar. You know, the first JC :-)
Quite a few of them, too.
Orthodox Christians. Russia is full of them.
Nope. It gives you a much better idea of when to duck...
Gives date of conference as: "Crystal Moon 24-Cosmic Moon 1, Sixth Year of Prophecy"
Good one.
We should probably try to look for some Universal constant, not something restricted to our local solar system.
Act Globally, think Universally. Scientists have already considered this. Interstellar communications have been tied to the oscillations of atoms, just like the atomic clocks.
Simple -- a 100 day year with each day 10 hours long. Of course it will take some adjustment.
Each metric hour will be 525 current minutes long.
Better hope you're not paid hourly.
National Semiconductor used a 13 month calendar way back when I worked for them.
They didn't have months in their corporate calendar, they had 28 day 'Periods' 3 Periods to a quarter, with the extra Period stuffed into quarter 4, where it helped increase the year's bottom line, and offset lost productivity for Christmas shutdown.
It was a great system, for all I know they are still using it.
Mortgage companies will love the extra payment every year.
Why, yes, of course these people have parents - and it may very well be their parents and grandparents who taught them such a "noble" worldview! (They do consider themselves to be our intellectual superiors, while we continue to be The Great Unwashed to their way of thinking. After all, baptism in the Lord Jesus means nothing to these people.) Ah, yes, a return to the good ol' days of "innocent, peaceful, persecuted, long-suffering" paganism! (These are the ones who celebrate Halloween - complete with outdoor house decorations - for one whole month - or longer - prior to October 31! Let us not forget winter solstice!) Now they can have 13 signs of the zodiac instead of 12!
Muslims use a lunar calendar, and OBL would like to set up a worldwide Caliphate.....think about it.
