"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."

“ … 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 ..."

Tunisia suspends Ben Ali's RCD party

BBC News, 6 February 2011

Tunisia's former governing party is to be suspended and its offices closed, the interior ministry has announced.

The military still maintains a high profile on the
 streets of Tunisia's towns and cities
In a statement broadcast on state television, the ministry said the ban had been imposed pending a decision on the dissolution of the RCD party.

The announcement came three weeks after protesters ousted President Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali.

It came amid fresh clashes at the weekend, in which at least three people were killed in separate incidents.

On Saturday police opened fire on protesters in the north-western town of Kef, killing at least two people. Some reports say four died.

On Sunday protesters set fire to a police station and tried to march on the town prison before troops intervened, the official TAP news agency reported.

Tunisia turmoil 

Sunday also saw clashes in the central town of Kebili, in which one person was killed. It is believed the victim was hit by a tear gas canister.

Correspondents say that if the Democratic Constitutional Rally (RCD) is dissolved, it would be among the most sweeping moves since Mr Ben Ali's departure.

He fled into exile in Saudi Arabia on 12 January following a month of nationwide anti-government protests. The UN says more than 200 people died in the clashes.

The RCD was the key instrument by which Mr Ben Ali maintained power in Tunisia.

The country is being run by an interim unity government under Prime Minister Mohammed Ghannouchi pending presidential elections due to be held in six to seven months' time.

Tunisia's uprising has inspired protest movements elsewhere in the Arab world, including in Egypt.
