“….. 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. …”

India Acid Attack Victim Who Became a TV Millionaire

When Sonali Mukherjee spurned the advances of three of her fellow students, they responded by melting her face with acid.

But rather than hide herself away, the 27-year-old applied to appear on India's most-watched TV quiz show — and walked away a millionaire.

"If you can stare at a picture of a pretty woman then you can look at my burnt face too," Mukherjee tells AFP in her tiny home in the capital New Delhi.

"It's very easy for victims of acid attacks to swallow poison but I made the choice to stand up and scream and shout against the violence."

The recent gang-rape of a university student on a bus in New Delhi — which sparked angry protests across India — has again shone an uncomfortable spotlight on the levels of violence against women in the country, where sex assaults are often dismissed as mere "eve-teasing".

National crime records show that 228,650 of the total 256,329 violent crimes recorded last year were against women.

Nine years ago, Mukherjee was a promising student at a college in the eastern city of Dhanbad when the three students broke into her home while she was sleeping and hurled acid on her face for rejecting them.

They used a liquid known as "Tezaab," which is normally used to clean rusted tools. Her attackers used it to melt Mukherjee's eyelids, nose and ears.

Even after 22 subsequent surgical procedures, she remains blind and partially deaf. No one has ever been convicted of the attack.

The three were arrested and spent some time behind bars on remand but were later freed on bail and the case has been bogged in India's notoriously slow justice system.

"They couldn't take a 'no' from me and so they decided to snatch my face, and steal my life away," she said as she groped for water to wash down medicine administered by her father.

The Indian government does not keep specific figures on acid attacks.

According to the London-based charity Acid Survivors Trust International, about 1,500 acid attacks are reported globally each year. But many more victims do not report their injuries to the authorities and instead suffer in silence.

Mukherjee says that numerous appeals failed to produce any financial or legal support from the state. Instead her family had to sell their two-storey home, farmland, gold and the cattle to meet medical expenses.

In one letter to the government she even said that she would prefer to commit suicide — which is illegal in India — rather than live in continuous pain.

But as she despaired of funding her treatment, Mukherjee decided to apply to appear on "Kaun Banega Crorepati," the Indian version of "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" and which was featured in the movie "Slumdog Millionaire."

After being chosen as a contestant, she went on to win 2.5 million rupees ($45,000) last month after successfully answering 10 questions.

The money will be used to fund a round of plastic surgery next year for Mukherjee, who keeps a portrait of herself as a fresh-faced teenaged cadet.

She said that letters appealing for help had failed to yield results but the sight of her injuries had a much more profound impact.

"Once everything else had failed, I decided to use my face."

Mukherjee says that her winnings may be welcome but they still will not be enough to cover all her medical bills.

"I won some money but I need much more for my treatment," she said.

Her determination not to be a victim has inspired viewers and members of the audience were in tears when she won the contest.

The host of the show, Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan, called her "the epitome of courage" for "continuing her fight against all the odds."

"Sometimes we think that our lives are miserable, everything is against us and then [when] we come across someone like Sonali we realize how lucky we are and how much we have got going for us," he said on the show.

Mukherjee wants to use her high profile to campaign for fellow victims to push for specific legislation on acid attacks, which are currently covered by domestic violence laws that carry relatively light sentences.

In 2011, neighbouring Pakistan adopted legislation increasing the punishment to between 14 years and life for acid attacks and a minimum fine of one million Pakistan rupees.

"The men who threw acid on me are roaming in the open but if there were stricter punishments then they would be behind bars," Mukherjee said.

Indian lawyer Aparna Bhatt, who has fought a legal battle in the Supreme Court for another acid victim, has filed a public petition seeking free medical treatment for acid victims and to regulate the sale of acid.

"India needs a new law to define acid crime in a far more comprehensive manner. There should be free medical care, rehabilitation for the victims," Bhatt said.

"Acid is a dangerous weapon."

“… No person shall be forced into marriage against his or her will. No woman shall be forced to bear or not bear children, against her will. No person shall be forced to hold or not hold views or worship in a manner contrary to his or her choice. Nothing vital to existence shall be withheld from another if it is within the community’s power to give. …”

“… Children are meant to live lives under the beneficent protection of all, free of exploitation, with unhindered access to the necessities of life, education, and health care. …”
