“….. 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.

“… 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. …”

Consumers in SE Asia more confident

The Jakarta Post, Maarten Kallenberg, Analyst | Fri, 08/28/2009 10:01 AM

Consumer confidence is rising in the Southeast Asian region. The Asian Consumer Confidence Index by InsightAsia reports positive increases in consumer confidence in Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand.

A previous article by InsightAsia, a market research agency that specializes in the Asia Pacific region, described how consumer confidence in Indonesia has developed positively from the first to the second quarters of this year. This latest report broadens the scope to include other countries which are also now enjoying similar trends.

These positive indicators on consumer confidence in Indonesia are also being found in other countries surveyed. The Consumer Confidence Index of Indonesia according to InsightAsia is now showing similar results to that of Malaysia.

Both countries have moved up from a somewhat negative view to just below the neutral level of 100 according to this new index. The rating for Indonesia increased from 83 to 97, and for Malaysia from 83 to 94. Singapore was the most negative country in the first quarter, with an index indicator of only 62, but boosted its consumer confidence by 26 points to 88 in the second quarter, leaving Thailand at the bottom of the consumer confidence list. Thailand has increased its index only marginally, by 6 points from 72 to 78, reflecting the specific local conditions.

Consumers in Indonesia and Malaysia are similar in their optimism about the future, expecting the economy and their financial well-being to improve.

However there are differences too. Indonesian consumers feel neutral about the current state of the economy, while Malaysians are negative. On the other hand, Malaysians are more positive about their current financial well-being.

Consumers in Singapore are less optimistic about the future than those in Indonesia and Malaysia. Though Singaporeans have become less negative about the economy than they were in the first quarter, they don’t expect recovery in the coming year and also don’t expect their financial well-being to improve.

Even though consumers in Singapore have boosted their confidence since the first quarter, they are still more negative than Indonesian and Malaysian consumers.

Thailand has achieved a smaller increase in consumer confidence than Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia. Thai consumers overall are not dissatisfied with their financial well-being, but they are very negative about their economy and don’t expect recovery in the near future or the next year.

In addition to the continuing effects of the global recession, Thailand is also clearly suffering from the negative impacts of political instability which are affecting consumer confidence.

Violent demonstrations have received worldwide media attention, quite possibly changing the perspectives of some potential tourists and investors, encouraging a proportion of them to stay away and seek other destinations.

Despite these problems Thailand has increased its Consumer Confidence Index by a modest 6 points compared to the first quarter of 2009, but cannot keep up with the more robust improvements in confidence in Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore.

China is included in the survey for the first time in the second quarter. Chinese consumers are in a different state of mind than those of the other four countries.

Their Consumer Confidence Index is higher at 123. Consumers are positive about the present state of the economy and its outlook, as well as their financial well-being.

However an important indicator of consumer confidence is the willingness to buy durable consumer goods. Consumers in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand all indicated in this survey that this is a bad time for such purchases.

This demonstrates that even though confidence is increasing and consumers in these countries have become more optimistic about the future, they are still reluctant to commit to major purchases.

China is the only of the five countries in the survey where consumers feel it is a good time to buy major household items.

Recent economic reports show signs of recovery for the Southeast Asian economies. Analysts refer to public spending and regional and domestic consumer demand as the key drivers behind these trends. Asian consumer confidence is an important indicator of consumer demand and though the recession is not over, the results for the second quarter of the Asian Consumer Confidence Index are encouraging.
