"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 ..."

Ben Ali ready to hand Swiss-held ‘assets’ to Tunisia: Lawyer

Tunisia’s former president Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali, toppled by a popular revolt in 2011, is ready to hand over his Swiss-held financial “assets” to the Tunisian state, his Lebanese lawyer said on Monday.

“My client is ready to hand over all his alleged assets and economic resources held in Switzerland to the Tunisian state,” lawyer Akram Azoury said in a draft statement to the Swiss ambassador in Lebanon, a copy of which was sent to AFP.

In the letter, which he plans to send to the Swiss foreign ministry, Azoury added: “You are authorized to transfer his alleged assets and economic resources to the Tunisian state, without any prior judicial or extra-judicial procedure, and without even referring to my client.”

At the end of June, a delegation of Tunisian experts met in Bern and Lausanne with a team of Swiss officials handling a case concerning the return of Ben Ali’s frozen assets, the Swiss government said last Tuesday.

“The aim of this strengthened cooperation is to restore as soon as possible the illicit assets held by the entourage of former president Ben Ali,” the Swiss authorities said.

Last October, Bern said it had frozen 60 million Swiss francs (48.7 million euros) worth of Tunisian assets.

In 2011, Ben Ali, who fled to Saudi Arabia, was sentenced to more than 66 years in prison in three separate trials in Tunisia, including for embezzlement, illegal possession of weapons and narcotics, housing fraud and abuse of power.
