UN to Adopt Pagan Calender?

When the big hand says Thirteen Moon Calendar

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.
