"If an Arab and a Jew can look at one another and see the Akashic lineage and see the one family, there is hope. If they can see that their differences no longer require that they kill one another, then there is a beginning of a change in history. And that's what is happening now. All of humanity, no matter what the spiritual belief, has been guilty of falling into the historic trap of separating instead of unifying. Now it's starting to change. There's a shift happening."

They're going to fall over, you know, because the energy of the population will not sustain an old energy leader ..."

Three killed as Albanian police clash with protesters

BBC News, 21 January 2011

Some protesters pelted the police from a museum in Tirana

Three people have been killed in the Albanian capital Tirana during clashes between police and thousands of opposition supporters.

An estimated 20,000 people rallied outside government buildings calling on the conservative government to resign.

The protests follow the resignation of deputy prime minister Ilir Meta who is at the centre of a fraud scandal.

The socialist opposition accuses the government of corruption, abuse of power and rigging the last election.

Albania has been in political deadlock since the opposition rejected the result of the 2009 elections.

"Three people are dead, 17 policemen and soldiers were injured, including three seriously, along with 22 civilians," hospital surgeon Sami Koceku told AFP news agency.

Witnesses said a section of the crowd threw rocks at the police who responded with tear gas and water cannons.

Some protesters also threw stones from the top of a pyramid-shaped museum near the office of Prime Minister Sali Berisha and set light to a police car and other vehicles.

There were no immediate reports of arrests.

Socialist Party leader Edi Rama had urged supporters to protest peacefully.

The opposition wants fresh parliamentary elections after rejecting the result of the June 2009 vote which Mr Berisha's Democratic Party won by a small margin.

Political tensions rose after Ilir Meta - Mr Berisha's key ally - resigned last week after being accused of corruption over a power plant tender.

Albania will hold local elections on 8 May but the next general election is not due until 2013.
