“ … 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.

Pertamina places order for six oil tankers from local shipyards

Alfian, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Mon, 08/09/2010 10:16 AM

State oil and gas firm PT Pertamina has placed orders for six tankers for about US$102 million to support its fuel distribution across the archipelago.

Pertamina opened the tender three months ago and announced the winners last week, Pertamina senior vice president of shipping Suhartoko told The Jakarta Post over the weekend.

“All the winners are domestic companies because we want to encourage the domestic shipbuilding industry,” he said.

The domestic manufacturers who won the tender were PT PAL Indonesia, PT Dok dan Perkapalan Surabaya (DPS), PT Daya Radar Utama (DRU) and PT Dumas Tanjung Perak Shipyard.

PAL won a contract to build two 17,000 dead weight tonnage (DWT) vessels worth around US$49 million, while DPS will build a 6,500 DWT vessel with an investment of around $14.5 million. DRU and Dumas won contracts to build 3,500 DWT vessels with investments of around $12.8 million for each vessel.

Suhartoko said Pertamina would also order another 3,500 DWT vessel at the same price, but that the company had not decided whether it would award it to DRU or Dumas.

“The six projects require a total investment of around $102 million. We expect the appointed companies to complete construction within two years,” he said.

Pertamina currently operates 170 tankers and expects to get 47 more tankers by 2014. In January, the company said it planned to buy 12 tankers at a total cost of $333 million this year.

Suhartoko said Pertamina had awarded contracts to construct four tankers in April. Two of the tankers, with a capacity of 23,000 DWT each, will be built by Korea’s Hyundai. Two other tankers with a capacity of 3,500 DWT each will be constructed by a Chinese manufacturer.

“The four tankers will be used to transport LPG,” he said.

Suhartoko added that Pertamina expected to open more tenders in September to procure three more tankers. The first is for a 3,500 DWT LPG tanker likely to be built by a domestic company. The second is for a crude tanker with a capacity of between 85,000 DWT and 100,000 DWT. The third tender is for a very large gas carrier (VLGC) with a capacity of 85,000 DWT.

“The VLGC tender may be announced later as we are still undecided between owning or rent the vessel,” he said.

The new shipping law stipulates that by January 2010, all domestic shipments for 13 specified commodities, including crude oil, must be carried by national vessels. However, in January, Suhartoko said Pertamina had obtained permits to continue using 12 foreign-flagged vessels until March 31 this year.

He said Pertamina still operated one foreign-flagged vessel, a 23,000 DWT vessel transporting LPG from Jakarta to Surabaya. He said it would take time to convince the foreign shareholders to transfer their ownership to local parties. “We hope the vessel can be in domestic hands next week,” Suhartoko said.
