cmotherofpirl Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 by 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.

HomeTeamFamily Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 the scary thing is that it actually could happen.....
CreepyCrawler Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 how would you get people to change? would those of us who refused have to go underground and make our own calendars, or use the same one, year after year, just changing the days so that we won't lose track of where we are on the 'real' calendar?... if it ain't broke don't fix it i say. plus, why waste all the money on changing the whole system when you could be out there feeding millions of people or helping prostitutes find real jobs so they aren't forced to sell themselves while wearing UN-funded condoms in order to 'slow the spread of HIV?' yes folks, can you tell, i don't like the UN.
Oik Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 United Nations aren't united. They make things worse. The united nations is becoming more like the league of nations everday.
MorphRC Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 Is it me, or is the UN getting more and more dumb every 5 years?
Guest T-Bone Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...
Scofizzle Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 I personally love our calendar...it is one of the only public things we have that has religious signifigance left.....

toledo_jesus Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 (edited) they'll never get that to work. Who wants to learn a bunch of new months? Or wait, would they keep the same months? I won't go for it. I would not teach it to my kids. The UN is going to become increasingly irrelevant if they don't stop being idiots. Edited August 31, 2004 by toledo_jesus
Pete-ster Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 Before the UN votes on this, perhaps they should consult the French, the Germans, and the Russians, afterall, if you ask them, and the American media, they are the only ones in the world that can make any decision.
Phikoz Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 hmm, trying to get a couple billion people to change their calendars..... not a good idea

[/quote] No no no... they're going to create all new months, each with a theme. It will go like this: 1st month: gay pride month 2nd month: family planning month 3rd month: America smells of elderberries month 4th month: put on a condom month 5th month: let's be proud of being gay again month 6th month: talk about the bad guys and do nothing month 7th month: political correctness appreciation month 8th month: appreciation for those who fought for freedom: rock stars and celebrities 9th month: we don't believe in God month 10th month: take your gender neutral child to work month 11th month: save the whales and abort the babies month 12th month: alternative religion appreciation month 13th month: why not? more gay pride month oh, and as for the one extra day every year, they'll let us go to church that day.
Pete-ster Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 [quote]11th month: save the whales and abort the babies month[/quote] Whale babies or human babies? Whales have abortion rights too, you know?
Guest T-Bone Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 [quote]oh, and as for the one extra day every year, they'll let us go to church that day. [/quote] No. This will be the day the Wealth Redistribution Payments...er...World Income Tax will be due.
