"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."

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 ..."

UN investigates Nigerian weapons shipment from Iran

BBC News, 18 January 2011

UN weapons experts are in Nigeria to inspect an Iranian arms shipment seized in the port of Lagos last October.

The arms cache of 13 shipping containers included
rockets, rocket launchers, grenades and
ammunition
The weapons, including rocket launchers and grenades, were found in containers labelled as building materials.

Nigeria reported the seizure to the UN Security Council for an apparent breach of the sanctions against Iran.

Nigeria has charged an alleged member of Iran's Revolutionary Guards and three Nigerian citizens over the illegally imported weapons.

Iran is under UN sanctions because of its nuclear programme and is banned from supplying, selling or transferring arms.

Correspondents say mystery surrounds the intended destination of the weapons.

Nigerian authorities have said that the shipment originated in Iran and was destined for the capital, Abuja, after its arrival in Lagos.

But the shipment was intercepted when an attempt was made to re-export it to The Gambia.

The Gambia's neighbour Senegal recalled its ambassador to Tehran over the incident, amid speculation the weapons may have been destined for separatist rebels in its Casamance region.

Nigeria's Foreign Minister Odein Ajumogobia said he had met the six-member UN team and it was due to inspect the weapons from the 13 shipping containers on Tuesday.

Tehran has said the cargo was being shipped by a private company to a "West African country" and was the subject of a "misunderstanding" that has now been cleared up.

The trial of Azim Aghajani, identified by Nigerian court documents as a Tehran-based businessman and member of Iran's Revolutionary Guards, is due to start at the end of the month.
