"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 ..."

Libya: Dutch helicopter crew freed

BBC News, 11 March 2011

Libya Revolt

Libya has freed the crew of a Dutch navy helicopter captured on a botched mission to evacuate civilians near the Gaddafi stronghold of Sirte last month.

The crew are all said to be well
The two men and one woman arrived in Athens on a Greek military transport plane hours after a son of Muammar Gaddafi announced their release.

Saif al-Islam Gaddafi said Libya would hold on to the crew's Lynx helicopter.

The woman pilot, Yvonne Niersman, took part in a mission last year to free a German ship from Somali pirates.

Ms Niersman and her fellow crew members were captured in Libya after flying in from the Dutch warship Tromp, anchored off the coast.

'Treated well'

"I am very happy," she said after landing in Athens and being met at the airport by a Dutch foreign ministry representative.

She and her two fellow crew members appeared to be in good health.

Dutch Defence Minister Hans Hillen said the crew would be flown back to the Netherlands soon, adding that they had been treated "well and correctly" during their captivity.

Speaking on Thursday, Saif Gaddafi had said: "We told them, don't come back again without our permission.

"We captured the first Nato soldiers, we are sending them back home. But we are still keeping their helicopter."

During the earlier mission involving Ms Niersman, 10 pirates were captured after a gun battle off the coast of Somalia. A Dutch marine suffered light injuries in the shooting.
