Daylight Savings Is Government Idolatry
SYNOPSIS:
Daylight Savings Time is upon us.
The Uniform Time Act of 1966, codified in 15 USC 260-265, is statutorily speaking, an Act of Congress. As such, as a matter of law, it is SUPPOSED TO BE LIMITED AND RESTRICTED TO THE District of Columbia and the federal zone.
See Public Law 89-387, 80 Stat. 107, April 13, 1966.

It is a conclusive fact that Title 15 of the United States Code has not been enacted into “positive law.” Consequently, it is classified as “special law”, or what the Congress’ Office of Law Revision Counsel now disingenuously, and with a hint of obfuscation, labels “non-positive law.” For proof, see
https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title1-section204&num=0&edition=prelim
and note that United States Code Title 15 is not listed by Congress as being positive law.
The Uniform Time Act of 1966 is codified in Title 15 and it is “special law.” Every special law passed by Congress, such as the Uniform Time Act and the Internal Revenue Code in Title 26 of the United States Code, is restricted and limited to a definite and identifiable geographical area and/or, to uniquely identifiable specific person (s) or classes of specific people who choose to make themselves subject to said special laws by consenting to said jurisdiction in some form. That consent is usually manifested in the form of requesting or accepting grants of government property or privileges conveyed by the statutes themselves.
The federal government is one of delegated powers. Under the tenth Amendment, any power not specifically given to the federal government is reserved to the fifty Union states or to the American People. Nowhere in the USA Constitution did the American citizens, acting through their respective state legislatures, delegate to Congress, the specific power and and authority for Congress to modify and define what time it is and what time the clocks located in the fifty Union states, should be set at.
God the Creator created time, not the federal government. This is a critically important distinction WITH A DIFFERENCE. Congress has no constitutional authority to regulate time inside the fifty Union states because only God created time.
By enforcing federal time zones and Day Light Savings Time throughout America, the federal government is behaving as if it is God. The Congress has stolen the notion of time, and in violation of the first amendment has established time as a religion. This issue is examined in depth below.
ANALYSIS:
Section 7 of the Uniform Time Act, proves the limited application of the act with the definition of the federal “States” being restricted to the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and any possessions of the United States (government). The Union of 50 states United by and under the Constitution are sovereign, independent countries except for those delegated powers surrendered to the federal government. Please see 28 USC 297 (a), where Congress refers to the fifty Union states as “freely associated compact states”. And then immediately thereafter, in the very next section at 28 USC 297 (b), Congress intentionally identified the “freely associated compact states” (I.e. the fifty Union states), as “countries”. The USA Constitution is a compact and it was ratified by the freely associated compact state legislatures that consisted of the original thirteen Colonies. Indeed, the Declaration of Independence itself refers to the 13 colonies as Free and Independent States. See

One might make the argument that every Union state that enforces daylight savings time, thereby surrenders an element (or all of) its sovereignty to the federal government. And in the process, subverts and buries the US Constitution in so far as their respective state Union citizens are concerned.
By adopting and unconstitutionally adhering to the Uniform Time Act of 1966, within the territorial jurisdiction and geographical boundaries of the Union states united by and under the USA Constitution, the state legislatures betrayed the Union state citizens and surreptitiously deceived the citizenry, who unwittingly set their clocks to a federally dictated time within a federal time zone.
And by doing so, the conspiracy between the federal government and the state legislatures have succeeded in creating a time-dimensional legal construct, in which the Union state citizen, becomes trapped in the corrupt federal Matrix, and carelessly and unknowingly surrenders their God-given unalienable rights and their constitutional rights in exchange for living within a federal time zone and setting their clocks so as to comply with the special law that is the federal Uniform Time Act of 1966. Basically, by following the federal time zones, every Union state citizen volunteers into federal government jurisdiction and subjects themselves and every aspect of their lives, to federal government regulation. For proof of this deceitful surrender of one’s constitutional rights, please see 15 USC 262 which asserts:
“ Within the respective zones created under the authority of sections 261 to 264 of this title the standard time of the zone shall insofar as practicable (as determined by the Secretary of Transportation) govern the movement of all common carriers engaged in interstate or foreign commerce. In all statutes, orders, rules, and regulations relating to the time of performance of any act by any officer or department of the United States, whether in the legislative, executive, or judicial branches of the Government, or relating to the time within which any rights shall accrue or determine, or within which any act shall or shall not be performed by ANY PERSON SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE United States,(capital letter emphasis added) it shall be understood and intended that the time shall insofar as practicable (as determined by the Secretary of Transportation) be the United States standard time of the zone within which the act is to be performed.”
A Union state citizen that appears in federal court at a time established by a federal judge, has created the presumption that said citizen is subject to the jurisdiction of the federal government. And, it very likely presents an opportunity for the federal judge to take silent judicial notice that the Union state citizen has volunteered into federal jurisdiction because the citizen showed up in federal court and obeyed the federal court’s instructions to be present in court at a predetermined federal time, within the federal time zone.
The Act itself is constitutional only so far as it clearly limits and restricts itself to the federal zone. The unconstitutional application of the federal Uniform Time Act within the several Union states, rests squarely with the respective Union state governments. They should know better.
The Uniform Time Act of 1966, where the Congress purports to own time, create time, and know what time is and what time it should be, in its sundry of time zones, appears to contradict God’s Word.
He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority.”
[Acts 1:7]
Further, we seem to think that the Social Security Administration zones, are somehow linked to the trademarked ZIP CODES, and overlaid with the Uniform Time Act. When one files papers in every federal court, the clerk time and date stamps the filings. The time stamp obeys the Uniform Time Act.
Each federal court is, by definition, located within the federal zone, which is where the Uniform Time Act is applicable. However, if a person files papers in a local municipality or state Union court, those papers are also time and date stamped in a manner that adheres to the federal zone Uniform Time Act as well (except in Arizona and Hawaii).
The fact that Arizona and Hawaii have rejected Day Light Savings time is evidence that the Uniform Time Act is a special law that is statutorily restricted to only the federal zone, but like in many other cases, the state legislators and lawyers misinterpret the Uniform Time Act, and intentionally surrender an important element of the Union state’s jurisdiction and sovereignty. Hawaii and Arizona do not accept day light savings time. Nor do certain US possessions located near the equator. Federal States are permitted to exempt out of compliance with the Uniform Time Act. What’s interesting here is that the law mentions that State legislators can opt out of the day light savings issue, and 48 Union states haven’t but many federal States have. Thus proving that the U. S. Possessions are federal States, and when Congress refers to “States” in statutes, they almost are ALWAYS MEAN federal States. The territories of American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands do not observe DST.
If the federal government can determine and dictate to the American citizens what time it is, and when they must change their clocks, it appears that the federal government is substantially substituting itself for God.
God created the Heavens and the Earth. God created time itself.
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”
[Genesis 1:1]“All things were made by Him; and came into existence through Him; and without Him was not even one thing made that has come into being.”
[John, 1:3]
The power to govern or regulate is based on the power to CREATE, and there can be ONLY ONE Creator of a given thing. For legal proof, see:
- Hierarchy of Sovereignty: The Power to Create is the Power to Tax, Family Guardian Fellowship

https://sedm.org/Forms/05-MemLaw/Franchises.pdf
Even the Supreme Court acknowledges this reality and even declared that the power to create and the power to destroy (meaning ENFORCE) must originate from the SAME hand, meaning the CREATOR:
“The power to tax involves the power to destroy; the power to destroy may defeat and render useless the power to create; and there is a plain repugnance in conferring on one government [THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT] a power to control the constitutional measures of another [WE THE PEOPLE], which other, with respect to those very measures, is declared to be supreme over that which exerts the control.”
[Van Brocklin v. State of Tennessee, 117 U.S. 151 (1886)]
“What is a Constitution? It is the form of government, delineated by the mighty hand of the people, in which certain first principles of fundamental laws are established. The Constitution is certain and fixed; it contains the permanent will of the people, and is the supreme law of the land; it is paramount to the power of the Legislature, and can be revoked or altered only by the authority that made it. The life-giving principle and the death-doing stroke must proceed from the same hand.”
[VanHorne’s Lessee v. Dorrance, 2 U.S. 304 (1795)]
“The great principle is this: because the constitution will not permit a state to destroy, it will not permit a law [including a tax law] involving the power to destroy. ”
[Providence Bank v. Billings, 29 U.S. 514 (1830)]
Congress did not create the Heavens, the Earth, or time itself. Thus, within the territorial jurisdiction of the fifty Union states, it is an incontrovertible fact that Congress is constitutionally forbidden from defining, controlling, or measuring time. And Congress understood and recognized the limits of their statutory authority, by clearly expressing that the Uniform Time Act of 1966 was ONLY SUPPOSED TO APPLY TO the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. possessions. Complying with Day Light Savings Time therefore, violates my first Amendment rights because the government is forbidden to make any regulations regarding religion or regarding things that it DID NOT create and does not “own”. In fact, the origin of all civil statutory regulation authority comes from property ownership, as we prove in:

https://sedm.org/product/why-the-federal-income-tax-is-a-privilege-tax-on-government-property-form-04-404
Further, the Union state governments that enforce Day Light Savings time likewise violate religious freedom and rights to worship God at a TIME and place (no Eastern Time Zone, central time zone, or Day Light Savings time zone, etc), of one’s choosing. The Uniform Time Act is unconstitutional within the Union states because it amounts to a regulation of my religion in contravention to Article I, and it interferes with my sincerely held religious belief that my Creator alone, exclusively created time when He created the Universe. For the federal government or any government, to dictate to me what time it is, violates my unalienable and constitutional right to pursue my happiness and to practice my religion consistent with God’s Word in the Bible.
The government does not own time and yet, so far as time is concerned, it behaves as if time is subject to federal control and regulation pursuant to Const. 4:3:2, and it’s plenary power to make all needful rules and regulations respecting government property. The government is saying that within the federal zone it is a god and it has God-like power and authority over time.
The houses of worship throughout America announce the time of day of their services and in every instance, they also obey the federal zone Uniform Time Act. Consequently, all houses of worship have made themselves subservient to the federal government apparatus, and create the presumption that they are located within the federal zone and are subject to federal regulations in contradiction to Article I of the USA Constitution.
If a government entity, or any entity other than God, who created time itself, can periodically (twice a year in the USA, except Arizona), dictate to a supposed free society, what time it is, and thus influence and control a critical aspect of one’s reality, it essentially amounts to a MEGA usurpation of one’s unalienable right to pursue ones happiness in conformity with God’s created time. And it also amounts to a governmental interference with my right to worship my God and freely associate with my Church, on God’s time, because churches unwittingly obey the federal Uniform Time Act, even though it is statutorily restricted to the federal zone.
Basically, the Uniform Time Act and Day Light Savings Time are statutorily limited and restricted to the federal zone and this is a perfect example, at the MOST extreme, of the federal government demonstrating that anywhere the U. S. Government possesses exclusive legislative jurisdiction pursuant to Const. 1:8:17, and its authorized capacity to make all needful rules and regulations of its own property, the federal government is saying it owns time and it created time, and thereby it is permitted to create its own statutory reality, and has exclusive right and legal authority to create its own time zones and to define what time it is within the federal zone. This is a pure example to its most extreme, of the federal government’s authority to regulate its property anywhere in the world.
If our premise is correct, and I know it is, that God created time, and the unconstitutional enforcement of and obedience to, the Uniform Time Act within the several Union states, represents a regulation of my religion to worship my God on His time, not the government’s, in violation of Article I, this is yet another example of the fact that the Constitution is inapplicable within the federal zone. This is why the U.S. Supreme Court said on this subject:
“Indeed, the practical interpretation put by Congress upon the Constitution has been long continued and uniform to the effect [182 U.S. 244, 279] that the Constitution is applicable to territories acquired by purchase or conquest, only when and so far as Congress shall so direct. Notwithstanding its duty to ‘guarantee to every state in this Union a republican form of government’ (art. 4, 4), by which we understand, according to the definition of Webster, ‘a government in which the supreme power resides in the whole body of the people, and is exercised by representatives elected by them,’ Congress did not hesitate, in the original organization of the territories of Louisiana, Florida, the Northwest Territory, and its subdivisions of Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, and Wisconsin and still more recently in the case of Alaska, to establish a form of government bearing a much greater analogy to a British Crown colony than a republican state of America, and to vest the legislative power either in a governor and council, or a governor and judges, to be appointed by the President. It was not until they had attained a certain population that power was given them to organize a legislature by vote of the people. In all these cases, as well as in territories subsequently organized west of the Mississippi, Congress thought it necessary either to extend to Constitution and laws of the United States over them, or to declare that the inhabitants should be entitled to enjoy the right of trial by jury, of bail, and of the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus, as well as other privileges of the bill of rights.”
[Downes v. Bidwell, 182 U.S. 244 (1901) ]
With respect to the Uniform Time Act of 1966, its statutory geographical restriction to the federal United States, i.e., the “federal zone”, is made clearer and more obvious when one applies the statutory construction principles of “expressio unius est exclusio alterius” and ejusdem generis.
But first, let us put things in the correct geographical context and perspective by examining the statutory remedy available to the federal agency known as the Interstate Commerce Commission, which Congress has delegated the statutory authority to enforce the Uniform Time Act of 1966, in the remote event the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico or any United States possessions not establish their respective clocks and their time zones, in violation of the aforementioned Act:
Public Law 89-387, at 80 Stat. 107, at section (c), stipulates:
“(c) For any violation of the provisions of this section the Inter- state Commerce Commission or its duly authorized agent may apply to the district court of the United States for the district in which such violation occurs for the enforcement of this section; and such court shall have jurisdiction to enforce obedience thereto by writ of injunction or by other process, mandatory or otherwise, restraining against further violations of this section and enjoining obedience thereto.”
Now, it is an incontrovertible fact that every United States District Court is located on territory where the federal government has exclusive legislative jurisdiction in accordance with Const. 1:8:17. This land mass is also referred to as the “federal zone.” See the U. S. Supreme Court’s Lopez case from 1995, where the court struck down the federal law that purported to make it illegal to carry a firearm within 500 feet of a school.
And section (c) excerpted immediately above, authorizes and instructs the Inter-State Commerce Commission or its agent, to apply to the U. S. District Court “FOR THE DISTRICT IN WHICH SUCH VIOLATION OCCURS. . .” Here, Congress is unequivocally admitting that ALL VIOLATIONS of the Uniform Time Act of 1966, CAN ONLY occur inside a federal judicial district, and nowhere else. Every U. S. District Court is located inside the federal zone where Congress has plenary power and possesses exclusive legislative jurisdiction to make all needful rules and regulations pursuant to Const. 4:3:2. And this ties directly into the limited geographic statutory application of the Act because Congress asserts in section 7, that the Act only is SUPPOSED TO APPLY inside the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and U. S. possessions.
Furthermore, it is an important, incontrovertible and conclusive fact that federal judicial districts are comprised, limited, and restricted to those lands where the Congress has exclusive legislative jurisdiction in accordance with Const. 1:8:17. This means then, that Congress has admitted the limited geographical application of the Uniform Time Act, to only the land where the U. S. Government has exclusive legislative jurisdiction, which is the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and all U. S. Possessions.
This analyses is consistent with and is supported by the United States Supreme Court decision in Caha v. United States, 152 U.S. 211, at 215 (1894), where in his majority opinion, Justice Brewer reaffirmed the bedrock constitutional principle that:
“. . . The laws of Congress in respect to those matters do not extend into the territorial limits of the states, but have force only in the District of Columbia and other places that are within the exclusive jurisdiction of the national government. . .”
A further analysis of section 4 of the Uniform Time Act of 1966, as codified at 80 Stat. 107, at 108, section (4), makes crystal clear Congress’ intent that the application of the Uniform Time Act of 1966, was legislatively, intentionally and purposely limited to ONLY the named federal territories, and statutorily excluded all 50 of the Union states. Here is the verbatim excerpt from the Statutes at Large, where Congress refers to the “territory of the United States” being divided into eight time zones.
“ SEC. 4. (a) The first section of the Act of March 19, 1918, as amended (15 U.S.C. 261), is amended to read as follows:
“That for the purpose of establishing the standard time of the (FEDERAL – emphasis added) United States, the territory of the (FEDERAL – emphasis added) United States shall be divided into eight zones in the manner provided in this section. . .”
So what Congress is saying in section 4 above, is that the federal United States is and shall be divided into eight time zones. The eight time zones mandated by the federal Uniform Time Act were never intended to apply within the fifty Union states, but were only meant to be operable inside the federal territories of the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the federal government’s U. S. Possessions.
The corporate state municipal government’s adoption of the federal government’s eight time zones, amounts to the state legislatures abdication of the respective states sovereignty and jurisdiction, and in the process, it appears that the state officials violated their oaths of office to support and defend their state constitutions.
It is elementary law that the fifty Union states that are united by and under the USA Constitution, are sovereign states with their own state constitutions and their own territorial jurisdiction and sovereignty, and ARE NOT included as part of any United States territory. United States possessions and territories are those geographical areas of land where the United States government has exclusive legislative jurisdiction. And the special maritime jurisdiction of the federal government codified at 18 USC 7, encompasses the waterways and U. S. Government owned ships/submarines etc.
Applying the forgoing logic, undisputed facts and analyses, we now must come full circle, and cycle back to what are arguably the two most important rules of statutory construction that should ALWAYS BE APPLIED when one is trying to decipher the meaning of and federal statutes or regulations.
Statutory Construction Rule 1.
Expressio unius est exclusio alterius,
Is a Latin phrase that means the express mention of one item or things, intentionally EXCLUDES unmentioned items.
Statutory construction Rule 2:
Ejusdem generis
Is also Latin and means of the same kind. So when the phrase, “District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and United States possessions”, is used in a federal statute or regulation, it means ONLY territories where the U.S. government has exclusive legislative jurisdiction and authority.
Now let’s examine the final section of the Uniform Time Act of 1966, and apply the two controlling rules of statutory construction. Public Law 80-387, at 80 Stat. 107, at page 109, Approved April 13, 1966, asserts as follows:
“SEC. 7. As used in this Act, the term “State” includes the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico or any possession of the United States.”
Keep in mind the Constitutional principle reaffirmed by the U. S. Supreme Court in Caha, supra., excerpted above.
In section 7, Congress intentionally and specifically defines the term “State” in a very restricted and limited way to mean ONLY the federal States of the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and any possessions of the federal government.
The application of the two rules of statutory construction to the interpretation of section 7, is incontrovertible evidence that Congress never intended the Uniform Time Act of 1966 to be implemented inside the geographical boundaries and jurisdiction of ANY OF THE FIFTY UNION STATES!!!
Congress does not have and never had the statutory right or authority to DICTATE to any of the fifty Union States, the definition of time, or to create time zones for the fifty Union states. The Congress did not create time. Almighty God created time when He created the Universe.
In conclusion, the Uniform Time Act of 1966 is ipso facto, void ab initio inside the 50 Union states.
By controlling the clocks and defining and periodically redefining what time it is and what time it should be inside the fifty Union states, Congress has created a religion and has violated my constitutional rights by establishing and enforcing its religion called “time”, and thereby has interfered with my religious freedom to worship my God within God’s time, as He created His time for the entire universe.
Lastly, all of life occurs within the confines and dimension of time and space. And my God created time and He created space and everything that exists within every space. We live in a multidimensional universe and time is an important dimension of said universe. It is God’s universe. The passage of the Uniform Time Act by the U. S. Congress, which has its genesis in World War I, and it’s unconstitutional enforcement within the several Union states united by and under the USA Constitution, grossly interferes with and usurps my God, my religion and my time that was created by God. In effect, the Uniform Time Act and Daylight Savings Time is akin to the federal government establishing its own religion. The Constitution forbids the federal government from establishing or endorsing any particular religion.
