“ … 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.

Illegal fishing fleets face stiffer sanctions

Adianto P. Simamora, The Jakarta Post, Mon, 01/04/2010 9:08 AM

Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Minister Fadel Muhammad has pledged to take sterner measures against foreign-flagged vessels for failing to possess fishing permits to combat illegal fishing in Indonesian waters.

Fadel accused a number of foreign-flagged vessels currently operating in Indonesian seas of having no valid fishing permits or falsifying the names on the documents.

“We will check their documents and report directly to the National Police,” Fadel was quoted as saying by news portal tempointeraktif.com on a working visit to Bali on Saturday.

He said his office had received reports of foreign vessels operating without proper documents including in Bali and East Java.

“Their activities disturb traditional fishermen. We need to take action so small-scale local fishermen can continue with their livelihoods,” he said.

Indonesia has long been a magnet for illegal fishing fleets due to poor law enforcement and the lack of patrol boats.

Fadel said the country needed to improve its fleet’s technology to ensure effective monitoring to combat illegal fishing.

Defense Minister Purnomo Yusgiantoro had earlier also requested the House of Representative to allocate a further Rp 6 trillion to procure 96 patrol vessels, citing the need to prevent illegal fishing in Indonesia.

The ministry said the country needed at least 120 patrol vessels to combat illegal fishing.

Illegal fishing in Indonesian, done by fishing boats that operate without fishing permits, cause financial losses to the government as they do not report their catch, nor pay the taxes they owe the government.

The government has long complained of the lack of funds with which to improve monitoring activities.

Most regional marine authorities only have speedboats available to monitor coastal waters and are unable to explore deeper.

Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Ministry data showed the country caught 186 foreign vessels illegally fishing in Indonesian in 2008, compared to 184 the previous year.

Fadel was in Bali to launch the issuing of the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC) sticker, mandatory for all Indonesian tuna-fishing vessels.

Indonesia, the 27th member of IOTC, paid Rp 2 billion in annual membership fees to the organization.

There are 874 Indonesian tuna-fishing boats including 871 long-line ships that are allowed to operate in the Indian Ocean.

“The IOTC sticker is needed to allow Indonesia to export its catch to the EU,” Fadel said.

The People’s Coalition for Equal Fisheries (Kiara) said Indonesia’s fisheries potential had been slashed by 30 to 50 percent per year due to illegal fishing.

Fadel’s ministry said the country’s fisheries output reached 8.71 million tons in 2008, a slight drop from 8.24 million tons the year before.
