“ … 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.

Azerbaijan mourns following deadly rig fire

Rescuers continue to search for 29 missing oil platform workers who had evacuated when an offshore rig in the Caspian Sea caught fire. Two workers have been confirmed killed in the mishap.

Deutsche Welle, 6 Dec 2015

Efforts to locate the missing offshore oil workers continued Sunday, two days after high winds damaged a gas line and caused a fire to break out on the No. 10 platform in the Caspian Sea.

Rescuers evacuated 33 people from the deepwater platform in the Guneshli offshore field, where they had been hanging in lifeboats 10 meters (35 feet) above the stormy sea.

The platform is owned and operated by SOCAR, the state energy company. In a joint statement with the emergency ministry it said two bodies have been recovered.

That's far fewer than the 32 people that an independent watchdog has claimed had died in the accident. The Azeri Press Agency reported there were 63 workers on the platform when the fire started Friday, but SOCAR has so far not released precise figures.

Inquiry opened

There were also indications that safety regulations had been violated, a judicial spokesman told the DPA news agency. A presidential commission was appointed Saturday to oversee the investigation into the incident.

Meanwhile, the president's office has announced that Sunday would be a day of national mourning for the lives lost.

"Flags will be at half-staff in Azerbaijan as well as its diplomatic missions in other countries," an unnamed government official told the AFP news agency. "Entertainment events and television concert program have been canceled.”

The Guneshli deposits were discovered in 1981 in the south Caspian Sea, some 90 kilometers (55 miles) east of the capital, Baku.

There have been a number of fatal incidents on offshore oil rigs in recent years. In 2011, a drilling platform sank in a storm off Russia's far eastern coast, killing 53 people.
