“ … Here is another one. A change in what Human nature will allow for government. "Careful, Kryon, don't talk about politics. You'll get in trouble." I won't get in trouble. I'm going to tell you to watch for leadership that cares about you. "You mean politics is going to change?" It already has. It's beginning. Watch for it. You're going to see a total phase-out of old energy dictatorships eventually. The potential is that you're going to see that before 2013.

They're going to fall over, you know, because the energy of the population will not sustain an old energy leader ..."

Kryon Q&A

Question: Dear Kryon: I live in Spain. I am sorry if I will ask you a question you might have already answered, but the translations of your books are very slow and I might not have gathered all information you have already given. I am quite concerned about abandoned animals. It seems that many people buy animals for their children and as soon as they grow, they set them out somewhere. Recently I had the occasion to see a small kitten in the middle of the street. I did not immediately react, since I could have stopped and taken it, without getting out of the car. So, I went on and at the first occasion I could turn, I went back to see if I could take the kitten, but it was to late, somebody had already killed it. This happened some month ago, but I still feel very sorry for that kitten. I just would like to know, what kind of entity are these animals and how does this fit in our world. Are these entities which choose this kind of life, like we do choose our kind of Human life? I see so many abandoned animals and every time I see one, my heart aches... I would like to know more about them.

Answer: Dear one, indeed the answer has been given, but let us give it again so you all understand. Animals are here on earth for three (3) reasons.

(1) The balance of biological life. . . the circle of energy that is needed for you to exist in what you call "nature."

(2) To be harvested. Yes, it's true. Many exist for your sustenance, and this is appropriate. It is a harmony between Human and animal, and always has. Remember the buffalo that willingly came into the indigenous tribes to be sacrificed when called? These are stories that you should examine again. The inappropriateness of today's culture is how these precious creatures are treated. Did you know that if there was an honoring ceremony at their death, they would nourish you better? Did you know that there is ceremony that could benefit all of humanity in this way. Perhaps it's time you saw it.

(3) To be loved and to love. For many cultures, animals serve as surrogate children, loved and taken care of. It gives Humans a chance to show compassion when they need it, and to have unconditional love when they need it. This is extremely important to many, and provides balance and centering for many.

Do animals know all this? At a basic level, they do. Not in the way you "know," but in a cellular awareness they understand that they are here in service to planet earth. If you honor them in all three instances, then balance will be the result. Your feelings about their treatment is important. Temper your reactions with the spiritual logic of their appropriateness and their service to humanity. Honor them in all three cases.

Govt to combat illegal fishing

The Jakarta Post, Jakarta

To help combat illegal fishing, the Maritime Affairs and Fishery Ministry will issue a revision of a 2006 ministry regulation on fisheries later this month, an official said.

Aji Soelarso, director general of the maritime resources surveillance and control division at the ministry, said Friday the revision was needed as the illegal practices had reached an alarming level and caused huge losses to the country.

"The revised ruling will prohibit foreign fishing vessels to operate in our waters if they do not have an industrial processing base in Indonesia," Aji told The Jakarta Post in an interview.

He said they could either establish their own industrial bases or cooperate with local companies in the form of a joint venture.

The 2006 regulation was initially aimed at revitalizing the country's fishery processing industry, but it did not require foreign vessels to have an industrial base here, he said.

The forthcoming revision will call for the revocation of the existing licenses of foreign fishing vessels if they fail to comply.

"With the revision, I expect it will not only create new jobs for local people, but also generate foreign exchange," Aji said.

No exact figure is available for the damage caused by illegal fishing, but previous ministry's reports estimated the country suffered over US$3 billion in losses per year.

In addition to the material loss, the practices have also caused damage to coral reefs as a result of the use of explosives.

"Indonesia is among the top eight countries in the world when it comes to fish stocks, higher than such neighbors as Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand," he said.

Lack of a surveillance fleet was another factor contributing to the high incidence of illegal fishing, he said.

Aji said there are currently more than 20,000 foreign vessels operating in Indonesian waters, both with and without licenses, "and we only have 20 vessels to patrol them all, and not all of (the patrol boats) are in good condition".

Last year, Indonesia and Australia joined forces to patrol the Arafura Sea, Aji said.

According to the ministry, the maritime and fishery sectors have great potential to contribute to the country's economy.

Gross domestic product from the fishery sector increased by 18 percent in 2006, and generated US$2.08 billion in foreign exchange revenue, with exports reaching 1.02 million tons in 2006. (ndr)
