I have spoken about unjust weights and measurements when it comes to the fiat money the Federal Reserve produces, which is debt money. However, do you understand that the changes in the calendar and things like “daylight savings time” are all manipulations of the people? In fact, they are, in essence, and unjust weight and measurement.
In the short documentary below, you can see how this is used against the people and our calendar has been manipulated many times throughout history for the advantage of those in power.
September means seven, October means eight, November means nine, and December means ten — yet they are the 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th months. This is the hidden history of the 13-month calendar, the Roman calendar rewrite, the Gregorian reform, the Ishango Bone, lunar timekeeping, and why humanity may have lost a cleaner way to measure time.
Why do our month names no longer match their numbers? Why does September mean “seven” if it is the ninth month? Why do we live on a 12-month calendar when the moon still moves in roughly 13 cycles per year? This episode traces the forgotten history of calendar reform — from the Ishango Bone and ancient lunar counting, to Rome’s manipulation of time under Numa Pompilius and the Pontifices, to Julius Caesar’s “year of confusion,” the Gregorian deletion of days in 1582, and the modern 13-month calendar movement backed by George Eastman, Kodak, and the League of Nations.
This is not just a story about dates. It is about power, timekeeping, lunar cycles, solar calendars, Roman control, religious resistance, and the possibility that 13 was not feared because it was unlucky — but because it preserved an older structure of reality that institutions replaced. From Ethiopia’s living 13-month calendar to the mathematics of equal months, this is the deeper story of how the modern calendar was built, what it erased, and why almost nobody questions it.
