“….. 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. …”

UK diplomat weds same-sex partner in Beijing

Notwithstanding China's opposition to gay marriage, United Kingdom's consul-general in Shanghai, Brian Davidson, has tied the knot in Beijing with his same-sex partner Scott Chang, an American citizen.

The wedding, held Saturday at the official residence of the UK's ambassador to China, Sir Sebastian Wood, is reportedly the second same-sex marriage to be conducted by the British diplomatic mission in China, with the first taking place just last week.

Davidson announced the marriage through his account on Sina Weibo, China's version of Twitter, with the declaration, "Love is GREAT."

"I am very proud that the law in the United Kingdom today affords me the same rights as any other British national to be married to whomever I love. This is one very real example of how the United Kingdom practices equality for all," Davidson wrote in Chinese.

"For me, it means that finally, our family and friends (British, Americans and Chinese) can witness the moment we commit to love and cherish each other till death do us part. This is extremely important for both me and my partner," he added.

As of noon Sunday the post has been shared more than 27,000 times and commented on over 16,000 times, with a photo of Davidson and Chang at the wedding liked nearly 44,000 times.

Ambassador Wood also posted a photo of himself with the newly weds on his own Weibo page, together with the following comment in Chinese: "I am delighted and honored to have officiated the same-sex wedding of the UK's consul-general in Shanghai, Brian Davidson, and his partner at my residence today. We wish them a lifetime of happiness together."

Wei Jiangang, founder of the Chinese website Queer Comrades and a friend of the couple, said during the ceremony that it was the first time he was attending a legal same-sex marriage in China. There are still seven countries in the world where homosexual couples would be put to death and 70 countries where they would be thrown into prison, Wei said, adding, "China's gay rights movement still has a long way to go."

Though same-sex marriage and civil unions are not recognized under Chinese law, the wedding is legal under British law as diplomatic missions are afforded special privileges pursuant to the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations. Beijing could have still objected to the marriage and prevented it from taking place in Chinese jurisdiction but did not.

Same-sex marriage was legalized in the UK via the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act 2013, which was passed with a strong majority vote and given royal assent on July 17 last year. The key provisions of the act came into effect on March 13, 2014, with the first officially legal sex-same marriages taking place on March 29.

Same-sex couples can now marry at 23 British consulates around the world, including those on mainland China. The only British mission in China where same-sex marriages are not permitted is in Hong Kong, due to an objection raised by the region's government following aggressive lobbying from Christian groups.

Davidson, 50, who grew up in Northern Ireland and has a law degree from the University of Cambridge, has been consul-general in Shanghai since Jan. 2011, having previously served as consul-general in southern China's Guangzhou province from Oct. 2006.
