"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 ..."

Niamey — Thousands of people in Niger protested Saturday against French nuclear firm Areva, which has been mining uranium in the impoverished country for nearly 50 years, one of the organisers said.

"The aim of the protest, which has gathered about 5,000 people, is to support the government in its upcoming discussions with Areva on the subject of our uranium," Azaoua Mamane told AFP.

Several other sources confirmed the turnout number.

Last Sunday, Prime Minister Brigi Rafini vowed Niger would review its dealings with the French firm "with a fine-tooth comb" amid accusations that the partnership was unbalanced.

Rafini specified that the west African country's contracts with Areva subsidiaries Somair and Cominak, which end this year, would be reviewed.

The protesters, a mix of local elected representatives and residents, marched on the streets of Arlit in northern Niger shouting anti-Areva slogans.

They accused the nuclear giant of "polluting" the environment, "provoking radioactivity" and "not showing interest in the concerns of local inhabitants", one protester said.

"The population has inherited 50 million tonnes of radioactive residues stocked in Arlit, and Areva continues to freely pump 20 million cubic metres of water each year while the population dies of thirst," he said.

Areva is the world's second-largest uranium producer and extracts more than a third of its uranium in Niger, which is among the world's top producers of uranium but also one of its poorest countries.
