“ … 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.

Duck for cover: Popular artwork shields KMT in Keelung

It is a truism that in Taiwan there is political mileage to be gained from anything you might care to mention. Yet the hugely popular Rubber Duck floating art installation has proved remarkably immune to politicization. An opposition Democratic Progressive Party deputy secretary general was even advised not to use any issue related to the Rubber Duck as a means of attack as it would be more likely to backfire.

Rubber Duck is currently on show in the harbor of the northern city of Keelung, its third and final port of call in Taiwan. It was initiated in Keelung by the city council's chairman Huang Ching-tai but the city quickly came under the scrutiny of local media after the artwork's creator Florentijn Hofman criticized the "commercial circus" that had sprung up around his work and accused event organizer Jerry Fan of breach of contract for selling unauthorized duck-related merchandise at an exhibition hall close to the installation.

Keelung has long been in the hands of the Kuomintang, with which Huang is affiliated. But there has been increasing dissatisfaction with the party's performance among locals, and the city has been ranked as the place in Taiwan where people feel their quality of life is the lowest. This has given the DPP confidence of scoring a coup — but also goes to explain why Rubber Duck has given locals a bit of much-needed cheer.

Keelung has not been kind to Rubber Duck, however. Poor weather and dirt from nearby docking ships saw the installation coated in a visible layer of grime just days after its unveiling on Dec. 21. The DPP reportedly intended to use this as a metaphor to attack the KMT's grubby rule over the harbor city and to suggest that corruption will continue in the city if its government does not change.

But the party eventually stayed its hand amid fears that criticism of Rubber Duck could hurt the feelings of locals and damage tourism. Although it would represent a small victory at the city council, using the duck as a weapon could ultimately harm the DPP more than its opponent.

An election staff member at the KMT admitted that Huang is vulnerable to negative news reports about him and the city, but found that it was difficult for people to relate Rubber Duck to politics.

The KMT predicts the next election in the city will be decided by fewer than 10,000 votes. The party is relying on three trump cards: Rubber Duck, the party primary and the National Museum of Marine Science & Technology, while the DPP's campaign pledge is to build a rapid transit system like the Taipei metro.

As of press time, the duck had reportedly exploded unexpectedly on Tuesday afternoon. The political ramifications of this dramatic new development are yet to be seen.
