“….. Here is the prediction: China will turn North Korea loose soon. The alliance will dissolve, or become stale. There will be political upheaval in China. Not a coup and not a revolution. Within the inner circles of that which you call Chinese politics, there will be a re-evaluation of goals and monetary policy. Eventually, you will see a break with North Korea, allowing still another dictator to fall and unification to occur with the south. ….”

“ … 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 ..."

… The Shift in Human Nature

You're starting to see integrity change. Awareness recalibrates integrity, and the Human Being who would sit there and take advantage of another Human Being in an old energy would never do it in a new energy. The reason? It will become intuitive, so this is a shift in Human Nature as well, for in the past you have assumed that people take advantage of people first and integrity comes later. That's just ordinary Human nature.

In the past, Human nature expressed within governments worked like this: If you were stronger than the other one, you simply conquered them. If you were strong, it was an invitation to conquer. If you were weak, it was an invitation to be conquered. No one even thought about it. It was the way of things. The bigger you could have your armies, the better they would do when you sent them out to conquer. That's not how you think today. Did you notice?

Any country that thinks this way today will not survive, for humanity has discovered that the world goes far better by putting things together instead of tearing them apart. The new energy puts the weak and strong together in ways that make sense and that have integrity. Take a look at what happened to some of the businesses in this great land (USA). Up to 30 years ago, when you started realizing some of them didn't have integrity, you eliminated them. What happened to the tobacco companies when you realized they were knowingly addicting your children? Today, they still sell their products to less-aware countries, but that will also change.

What did you do a few years ago when you realized that your bankers were actually selling you homes that they knew you couldn't pay for later? They were walking away, smiling greedily, not thinking about the heartbreak that was to follow when a life's dream would be lost. Dear American, you are in a recession. However, this is like when you prune a tree and cut back the branches. When the tree grows back, you've got control and the branches will grow bigger and stronger than they were before, without the greed factor. Then, if you don't like the way it grows back, you'll prune it again! I tell you this because awareness is now in control of big money. It's right before your eyes, what you're doing. But fear often rules. …

Chinese TV presenter is latest victim of corruption 'cleanse'

Xi Jinping's anti-graft campaign goes wider and deeper than any before, as Rui Chenggang joins list of those under suspicion

Chinese TV presenter Rui Chenggang has enjoyed a high profile career, but none of his appearances have drawn as much attention as his absence from screens on Friday.

The unused microphone seen beside his co-anchor on China Central TV's economic news bulletin that night hinted at the suddenness of his departure. Rui was detained shortly before the show, according to Chinese media, becoming the latest high profile figure to vanish in Xi Jinping's anti-corruption campaign.

Top leaders have warned for years of a "life and death" struggle for the Communist party. But while previous crackdowns rooted out some high level figures – usually titillating the public with details of mistresses and stacks of cash – they also bred widespread cynicism as brazen abuses continued.

None have pursued the cause for as long or taken it as deep as Xi and his colleagues: witness the defenestration of Xu Caihou, former vice-chairman of the Central Military Commission, and the lengthy investigation into Zhou Yongkang, the former security tsar. Xu is the most prominent military figure to be purged for decades, Zhou is the first former member of the Politburo standing committee (the top political body) to face investigation like this. While Chinese media have not spelt out Zhou's woes explicitly, the hints have grown more blatant by the month, with some identifying him via his family relationships.

Seizing Rui, who built his profile with a nationalist push to remove Starbucks from the Forbidden City, is indicative of the wide-ranging nature of the anti-corruption drive, but is also something of a "sideshow", noted Kerry Brown, whose book The New Emperors focuses on China's top leaders.

Cases that would previously have rocked the media have become simply another announcement in the flood, such as the investigations into Zhang Tianxin, formerly the party boss of Kunming and Wan Qingliang, mayor of Guangzhou.

State media said recently that almost 30 officials of provincial and ministerial level or higher have been investigated for corruption in just over a year and a half, while the total number of cadres punished between January and May was up by a third year-on-year at 63,000.

The lack of interest in Shi Yong's recent trial indicates the scale of corruption that the public have grown used to: the former head of the construction bureau in Jiuyuan, a relatively minor city in Gansu, was handed a suspended death sentence this month for amassing 50 million yuan in bribes.

In the last two days alone, Chinese media have reported the expulsion from the party of Hunan official Yang Baohua, for corruption and adultery; the opening of a criminal probe into three former top officials, two of whom were allies of Zhou; and the death of a Hebei cadre, reportedly killed in a road accident as he fled after learning he was under investigation. Police found 47 bank cards on his body.

"China is certainly taking the anti-corruption campaign very seriously this time – otherwise it would not have taken Xu Caihou," said Wang Yukai, a professor at the Beijing-based Chinese Academy of Governance.

"Not all officials fallen from grace are from the same faction … what matters is not how officials are aligned, but the severity of their corruption."

Yet to Zhang Lifan, an independent Beijing-based historian, the decision to fell so many high-level figures merely reflects the intensity of an internal power struggle.

"If the elimination is not thorough, the whole campaign could lead to a backlash," he said.

Zhang described it as a selective campaign which saw the problems of allies ignored while those in other factions were purged. Ousting Xu and other corrupt officials was also essential to consolidate Xi's control of the military, he argued.

Some of those detained have clear connections with other figures under suspicion, notably Zhou – Ji Wenlin, who reportedly "took a huge amount of bribes and committed adultery", was not only vice-governor of Hainan but a former aide to Zhou. Others are less obvious targets.

That suggests that it is not just about in-fighting or a power grab by Xi, suggests Brown. While some see an emerging strongman, Brown believes that the system is structured to ensure Xi cannot become a Mao Zedong or Deng Xiaoping-style figure: "He has to keep people on side, even if we can't see it."

So far, at least, he appears to be successful in doing so. That, to Brown, implies a shared vision to some degree: "You can be very cynical about it, but I think people are fighting for the party they want," he said.

He compares the current campaign to an inquisition and the party to the Catholic Church, "with an orthodox doctrine that people have to, at least rhetorically, say they believe in" – a cluster of ideas about the party's intrinsic importance in building a strong and rich China and its moral mandate to lead the country as economic growth slows.

It is not about who is tied to the most money, "there are so many people you could think should be taken", but about who is judged to be too busy establishing their own kingdoms and using the party's authority purely for their own venal ends.

Some also believe that it is only by clearing out interest groups that China can pursue the economic reforms that it desperately needs, and has promised.

Zhan Jiang, a journalism professor at the Beijing Foreign Studies University and prominent online opinion leader, said officials were now less likely to take obvious bribes and flaunt their power – one sign that the drive should be taken seriously. Even so, people were waiting to see whether or how it developed.

He added: "Mr Xi is currently using his personal power to champion the anti-corruption campaign. The next step, however, should be institutionalising this effort."

That should mean an independent anti-corruption body and the easing of controls over new media, Zhan suggested.

Far from embracing increased accountability or public supervision, authorities have in recent months prosecuted and jailed activists pressing for officials to declare their assets.

"There are anti-corruption campaigns in every dynasty," added Zhang, the historian.

"The campaign cannot get rid of the corruption stemming from the very heart of a corrupt system."
