“ … 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.

PAL to cut more than one-third of employees

Nani Afrida, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Thu, 12/17/2009 9:39 AM

State shipping company PT PAL Indonesia confirmed Wednesday its plan to cut more than one-third of its 2,400 employees next year as part of a restructuring program after receiving fresh government capital.

“After the restructuring, we should ideally employ about 1,500 only,” PAL president director Harsusanto told reporters after signing a credit agreement between PAL and state asset management PT PPA in the office of the SOE Ministry on Wednesday.

The state’s largest shipping company decided last May to introduce one day off work every week for up to 800 of its 2,400 employees, as part of efforts to cut costs.

PAL has been in financial trouble since making a contract for the construction of 20 vessels in 2006 on a flat price without taking US dollar fluctuations into consideration. This deal later prompted currency losses for the company, helping causing the current financial problem.

As a consequence, the company posted Rp 443 billion (US$46.9 million) in losses in 2007 and Rp 46 billion in 2008. PAL now owes $120 million in short-term debts to local private and state banks as of 2009.

On Wednesday, the government, through PPA, injected about $45 million in the firm. “About $25.6 million will be allocated for construction of ten ships, with Rp 193.37 billion for restructuring the ailing company,” PPA president director Boyke Mukijat said.

Harsusanto revealed Wednesday that PAL planned to create a new policy on financing before building ships for their clients in order to avoid similar mistakes in the future.

“We will adjust the contracts following international practice, including imposing down-payments,” Harsusanto said.

Currently the company still has 18 unfinished orders. Two vessels ordered by the Navy, four escort tugs each ordered by energy company BP Plc and three 38-meter boats ordered by the customs and excise office. There is another order for a 50,000 dead weight ton (DWT) vessels ordered by a Turkish private company.

The company is targeting to finish 14 vessels by the end of 2011.

Harsusanto revealed that PAL was aiming at several contracts in 2010, including a missile-equipped warship worth $240 million for the Navy, tankers for state gas and oil producer PT Pertamina and a-60 meter ship for the Maritime Affairs and Fishery Ministry (DKP).

This year PAL is targeting to gain 1.6 trillion in revenue up from Rp 1.2 trillion booked in 2008.
