“ … 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.

LIPI makes cheap sea, air radar

The Jakarta Post

The Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI) introduced Monday its own maritime radar that will monitor any potential air threat or a vessel accident at sea for one tenth of the cost of an imported radar.

"Imported radars are expensive and the purchasing procedure can take a long time because (a radar is) considered a strategic defense item," LIPI's radar project lead researcher Mashury said.

For one radar with a distance signal of 67 kilometers, the Indonesian Military (TNI) can spend up to US$100,000.

"Indonesia is an archipelago with more than 17,000 islands spread over a vast area of sea so we would need many units of the devices," Mashury said.

LIPI Research Center for Electronics and Telecommunication head Hizkia said the LIPI team had assisted the Indonesian government in monitoring all objects entering the country's territorial waters.

"The collision of ships and the operation of illegal vessels can be prevented by using this radar," Mashury said.

Indonesia's losses due to illegal activities at sea, including illegal log and sand shipments and fishery smuggling, amount to more than Rp 100 trillion, Mashury said.

The maritime radars can assist the Navy and the police, as well as the Fisheries and Maritime Affairs Ministry, by monitoring sea activities in real time.

What occurs at sea will be instantly detected by radar personnel.

"The number of ships (we need to monitor per square kilometer of open sea) is one ship to 72,000 square kilometers, so, according to data from the Defense Ministry, Indonesia needs about 350 patrol vessels," said Mashury.

The Navy currently has 117 ships, of which 77 are between 20 and 60 years of age.

"The operational cost of each ship is not cheap," Mashury said.

" That's why the placement of these radars will be very effective."

In mid 2006, LIPI started to collaborate with Technical University (TU) of Delft in the Netherlands to develop the radars.

LIPI built the hardware, framework, signal and antenna, while the International Research Center for Telecommunications-Transmission and Radar (IRCTR) from TU Delft designed the radar.

"TU Delft helped by making hard-to-find components available to us," Mashury said.

In the 1980s, Indonesia undertook several studies on radar hardware, including pulse generators, digital converters and antennas.

"Past research experience has helped in the finalization of the maritime radar," Mashury said.

"In principle, not much has changed regarding hardware."

The technology required for the radar's software has been developed quickly, enabling experts to access a lot more information, including distance-to-object and speed-of-object, as well as the form and contour of object.

LIPI will install the prototype radar off Cilegon, Banten.

It plans to finish constructing the radar by mid 2008.
