"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 ..."

Syria unrest: Tear gas fired at Deraa funeral

BBC News, 19 March 2011

Syrian security forces have fired tear gas to disperse crowds at the funeral of two people killed in anti-government protests on Friday, witnesses say.

President Bashar al-Assad inherited power
from his father in 2000
Thousands had gathered for the funeral in the southern city of Deraa, and began chanting anti-government slogans.

Rights activists said at least one mourner was arrested by secret police.

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, whose Baath party has dominated politics in the country for almost 50 years, tolerates no dissent.

Activists said the mourners had been chanting "God, Syria, freedom" before security forces intervened.

Eyewitnesses told the BBC that the mood at the funeral was angrier than at Friday's protest.

The witnesses said the funeral had taken place outside the city, and that the city itself had been sealed off by security forces making it difficult for mourners to get back in.

A rights activist told AFP news agency that several people had been injured as the protesters struggled to run away from the security forces.

Meanwhile, rights groups say a fourth person has died from his wounds after the protests in Deraa on Friday.

They were killed by security forces as protesters demanded political freedom and an end to corruption, eyewitnesses and activists told foreign media.

Al-Watan newspaper, which is close to the government, says the authorities have pledged to investigate the deaths.

The US and US both condemned the violence and urged the government not to use repression.
