“ … 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.

Fishermen want Rp 10 billion for Cilacap spill

Agus Maryono, The Jakarta Post, Cilacap | Thu, 10/07/2010 9:28 AM

Thousands of local fishermen are demanding compensation after a ship spilled oil into the waters near Cilacap, Central Java.

More than 500 meters of Cilicap’s coast were contaminated by an oil leak from fuel tanker MT Alisa XVII on Sunday.

The fishermen demanded Rp 10 billion (US$1.2 million) in compensation, while the Jakarta-based vessel owner offered Rp 100 million.

The fishermen stopped the vessel from unloading 20,000 kiloliters of diesel fuel intended for customers in Surabaya, East Java, including the Paiton power station.

“We are making an effort to reach a deal with the Cilacap chapter of the Indonesian Fishermen’s Association on the amount of compensation for the oil spill,” Cilacap Water Police unit chief Adj. Sr. Comr. Sugeng Hartono told reporters on Wednesday.

Sugeng said the fishermen had vowed not to allow the vessel to leave Cilacap before the compensation issue was resolved.

“There is still big disparity between the compensation demanded by the fishermen and offered by the vessel owner. The fishermen demanded Rp 10 billion, but the vessel owner was only willing to pay Rp 100 million,” Sugeng said.

Police had questioned four fishing boat sailors about the spill, including a fishing boat captain, who alleged that the spill was due to negligence on the part of the vessel, he said.

“The incident has caused severe sea pollution,” Sugeng said.

According to the police investigation, the oil spill took place when tanker was loading diesel fuel at the Cilacap Pertamina Port, Sugeng said.

“According to the skipper, during loading process, one of the filling taps malfunctioned and spilled fuel on the deck that later flowed into the sea,” Sugeng told The Jakarta Post.

An alarm sounded when the tap jammed, but an oil spill was inevitable, he said.

“According to the [MT Alisa XVII’s] captain, only 300 kiloliters of fuel were spilled. But the fishermen did not buy it because they said the oil spill had spread to the coast,” Sugeng said.

The fishermen claimed they had been greatly affected by the incident.

“We have not set out to sea for three days. Prawns and fish have died. We have been busy cleaning the oil spill and our boats have been stained by oil,” Dirsun, a fisherman, said.

Cilacap Pertamina spokesman Kurdi Susanto said the oil spill was error on the part of the tanker, declining to elaborate further.

“As of Tuesday, we were able to clear the oil spill,” Kurdi added.
