“ … 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.

RI forms new courts to fight illegal fishing

Apriadi Gunawan, The Jakarta Post, Medan

The government has established fishery courts in Jakarta, North Sumatra, West Kalimantan, North Sulawesi and Maluku.

The five fishery courts will make use of a number of court rooms in the district courts in North Jakarta, Medan, Pontianak, Bitung and Tual, the regency capital of Southeast Maluku, Maluku, until their official buildings are completed.

The fishery courts, which are based on Article 71 of the 2004 Fishery law, will be led by a team of judges, comprising of a presiding judge and two ad hoc justices.

Prosecutions will be carried out by prosecutors who have been trained in the field of fishery.

Twenty-eight ad hoc justices will be tasked to hear fishery cases, along with 90 prosecutors.

Supreme Court Chief Justice Bagir Manan said while officially launching the courts at Medan District Court in North Sumatra earlier this month that they were set up based on several considerations, including economic factors.

He said the country lost trillions of rupiah each year due to illegal fishing in Indonesian waters.

The country, he said, seemed helpless in facing foreign trawlers which were apparently "free to roam and steal marine riches".

"We will drag the foreign fishermen involved in illegal fishing to the fishery courts. I'm positive the courts will be able to uphold the country's sea sovereignty," said Bagir in his speech at Medan District Court.

He said he would not turn a blind eye to district court rulings that handed down lenient sentences or pardoned the accused.

Bagir said the presence of five fishery courts in five provinces was a novelty in the country, while Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Minister Freddy Numberi said it was possibly a world first.

Bagir said the country has set up special trade, human rights, corruption and industrial relations courts, while an environmental court and an agriculture court are still in the planning stages.

Freddy said the ministry looked forward to assisting the court in resolving widespread illegal fishing by foreign vessels.

"We actually want every foreign fishing vessel caught operating illegally within our waters to be immediately sunk without going to trial, so as to deter them.

"But, as the law prohibits that, we hope every illegal fishing case committed by foreigners can be handled promptly by the courts, so we can make use of their vessels for training at fishery schools across the country," said Freddy.

He said his office was still examining around 1,600 fishing boats it had seized recently, 100 of which were foreign vessels.

"The state incurs losses to the tune of Rp 30 trillion every year. This is an extraordinary figure, so that's why we should protect our seas from acts of illegal fishing, and one way is through the fishery court," Freddy told The Jakarta Post.
