“ … 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.

Failure to finalize Bohai Bay oil spill compensation angers locals

Want China Times, Staff Reporter 2013-08-09

A lawsuit has been filed against China's State Oceanic Administration on August 2 by lawyers representing fishermen and fishing firms hurt by the 2011 Bohai Bay oil spill, the Guangzhou-based 21st Century Business Herald reports.

Bohai Bay in northeastern China is an area of the Yellow Sea partially enclosed between the Liaoning and Shandong peninsulas. The 2011 Bohai Bay oil spill was a series of oil spills that began on June 4, 2011. The spill itself however was not publicly disclosed until a month later, which fueled rumors of an official cover-up by the SOA.

Beijing DHH Law Firm attorney Wang Haijun and a Shandong attorney Xu Hongliang jointly represented Dongying villagers and two fishing firms to file an administrative lawsuit against the SOA at the Beijing First Intermediate People's Court. They claim that the SOA violated laws after its handling of the compensation offered by the US-based oil giant ConocoPhillips for the Bohai ecological damage.

In April last year, ConocoPhillips and its partner China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) agreed to pay 1.7 billion yuan (US$277.6 million) in compensation for the series of oil spills off Bohai Bay on the coast of northern China in 2011, the SOA said at that time.

The Beijing court accepted the recent filing, but whether it would accept the case remains unknown. After filing the lawsuit, Xu said officials at the Dongying fisheries service, informed by the SOA, have immediately tried to persuade the plaintiffs to withdraw the case. SOA has yet to release an official response to the accusation, the paper said.

On February 16, the SOA announced that ConocoPhillips will gradually resume its production in the Penglai 19-3 oilfield in Bohai Bay, which had been sealed in late 2011 after the oil leaks polluted 6,200 square kilometer of water, killing off marine life in the area.

As the SOA has yet to finalize and receive the compensation, its choice to allow ConocoPhillips to continue production has triggered public anger, resulting in the lawsuit filed last week.

Lawyers claim that the SOA did not follow the law and failed to conduct any style of public hearing or win the support of related experts before making the decision. Several environmental protection organizations have repeatedly filed requests to ask the SOA to conduct public hearings or fully disclose related information, but the SOA has mostly ignored the requests or said it needs to seek a third-party, the 21st Century Business Herald said.

We have requested the SOA to unveil oil fingerprinting tests for the oil spills, vital evidence in the case, but the administration has yet to comply, said Xu.
