“ … 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.

2 Port Officials Suspended Over Roles In Tragic West Sulawesi Ferry Disaster

The Ministry of Transportation has summoned two port officials as part of an ongoing investigation into the MV Teratai Prima ferry disaster, which is believed to have claimed more than 300 lives.

Sunaryo, the ministry’s director general of sea transportation, said that Nurwahidah, the port administrator from Pare-Pare in South Sulawesi Province, and Sudiyono, the port administrator from Samarinda in East Kalimantan Province, had been suspended from their positions until further notice and summoned to Jakarta as part of the ministry’s internal investigation.

The ferry sank off the coast of Majene in West Sulawesi Province after reportedly being hit by large waves in the early hours of Jan. 11. The ferry was carrying at least 250 passengers and 17 crew members when it set off from Pare-Pare for Samarinda in East Kalimantan Province.

At least 200 people are still unaccounted for, though the actual figure is believed to be much higher.

South Sulawesi Police have arrested the captain of the ill-fated ferry, Sabir, who is facing charges of criminal negligence and a maximum sentence of five years in jail if convicted. He is alleged to have ignored storm warnings from the Meteorology and Geophysics Agency, or BMG.

The National Transportation Safety Committee and National Search and Rescue Agency are conducting their own investigations, independent of the police and the Transportation Ministry’s probes.

Sunaryo said the sea transportation department would question Nurwahidah and Sudiyono to determine whether they should both be charged with negligence.

“We should look beyond natural causes for the accident,” Sunaryo said, adding that if proven guilty of neglecting professional rules, they would face administrative punishment, such as demotions.

A port administrator is responsible for issuing permits to allow ships to depart.

Nurwahidah denied accusations that he was responsible, saying that Sabir had submitted a list of the legal passengers and the details of the proposed sea voyage.

“The ferry sank eight hours after we gave them the permit, so the responsibility rests in the captain’s hands,” she said.

According to laws governing sea transportation, the captain of a ship is responsible for the information he or she submits to port authorities for a permit to sail. The captain would also be responsible for any illegal passengers who are not listed on the official documentation.

As an archipelago of more than 17,000 islands, Indonesia relies heavily on sea transportation, with millions of people traveling daily by inter-island ferries, despite long-standing concerns that the aging vessels are frequently overpacked with passengers and cargo.

In late 2006, about 400 people died when the MV Senopati Nusantara ferry sank off the northern coast of Central Java Province.
