"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 ..."

Malawi 'expels UK envoy Cochrane-Dyet' for leaked cable

BBC News, 27 April 2011

Malawi has reportedly ordered the UK's High Commissioner to leave the country after he was quoted in a leaked cable as saying the president does not tolerate criticism.

President Bingu wa Mutharika
was first elected in 2004
A British diplomat warned of "serious consequences" over Fergus Cochrane-Dyet's expulsion, according to an internal memo seen by the BBC.

Some 40% of Malawi's budget comes from abroad; the UK is the largest donor.

No Malawian officials were available to comment on the reported expulsion.

According to the diplomatic cable published by the local Weekend Nation newspaper last week, Mr Cochrane-Dyet described Malawi's President Bingu wa Mutharika as "becoming ever more autocratic and intolerant of criticism".

He said local civil society activists were afraid after a campaign of threatening phone calls.

"I am sorry to pass on the news that the Malawi Government have officially informed the Foreign and Commonwealth Office today [Tuesday] that Fergus is being declared persona non grata," reads the memo signed by British High Commission Vice-Consul Lindsay McConaghy.

In the memo, Foreign Affairs Minister Etta Banda was quoted as telling Mr Cochrane-Dyet that "Malawi has lost confidence in you".

Malawi government spokesman Vuwa Kaunda told the BBC's Raphael Tenthani in Blantyre that the issue was "highly sensitive".

Ms McConaghy said no Malawian government representative would be invited to the celebration of Queen Elizabeth II's official birthday.

Malawi is one of the poorest countries in the world, with an estimated 75% of the population living on less than $1 (60p) a day, Mr Cochrane-Dyet was quoted as saying.
