“….. Here is the prediction: China will turn North Korea loose soon. The alliance will dissolve, or become stale. There will be political upheaval in China. Not a coup and not a revolution. Within the inner circles of that which you call Chinese politics, there will be a re-evaluation of goals and monetary policy. Eventually, you will see a break with North Korea, allowing still another dictator to fall and unification to occur with the south. ….”

“ … 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 ..."

… The Shift in Human Nature

You're starting to see integrity change. Awareness recalibrates integrity, and the Human Being who would sit there and take advantage of another Human Being in an old energy would never do it in a new energy. The reason? It will become intuitive, so this is a shift in Human Nature as well, for in the past you have assumed that people take advantage of people first and integrity comes later. That's just ordinary Human nature.

In the past, Human nature expressed within governments worked like this: If you were stronger than the other one, you simply conquered them. If you were strong, it was an invitation to conquer. If you were weak, it was an invitation to be conquered. No one even thought about it. It was the way of things. The bigger you could have your armies, the better they would do when you sent them out to conquer. That's not how you think today. Did you notice?

Any country that thinks this way today will not survive, for humanity has discovered that the world goes far better by putting things together instead of tearing them apart. The new energy puts the weak and strong together in ways that make sense and that have integrity. Take a look at what happened to some of the businesses in this great land (USA). Up to 30 years ago, when you started realizing some of them didn't have integrity, you eliminated them. What happened to the tobacco companies when you realized they were knowingly addicting your children? Today, they still sell their products to less-aware countries, but that will also change.

What did you do a few years ago when you realized that your bankers were actually selling you homes that they knew you couldn't pay for later? They were walking away, smiling greedily, not thinking about the heartbreak that was to follow when a life's dream would be lost. Dear American, you are in a recession. However, this is like when you prune a tree and cut back the branches. When the tree grows back, you've got control and the branches will grow bigger and stronger than they were before, without the greed factor. Then, if you don't like the way it grows back, you'll prune it again! I tell you this because awareness is now in control of big money. It's right before your eyes, what you're doing. But fear often rules. …

World Bank Slashes East Asia Growth Forecasts

By MICHAEL S. ARNOLD, The Wall Street Journal

TOKYO -- The World Bank Tuesday slashed its 2009 economic growth forecast for developing East Asia to 5.3% from 6.7% and warned of a "painful surge" of unemployment as the global recession hits home.

In its semiannual update on East Asia and the Pacific region, the bank reiterated its projection that China's economy will expand 6.5% this year and called the prospect that China's economy will bottom out midyear, as its massive stimulus package kicks in, a "ray of hope" for the region.

But a sustainable recovery will depend on developments in the advanced economies that take most of Asia's exports, and recovery there isn't expected until 2010, the report said.

The projected 5.3% growth for developing East Asia this year marks a sharp slowdown from an estimated 8% expansion in 2008 and amounts to less than half the 11.4% growth rate in 2007, but still leaves the region as the fastest growing part of the world economy.

Excluding China, however, the rest of the region is expected to grow just 1.2% this year, a "lackluster performance" that places it behind the Middle East and North Africa, South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, the bank said.

Developing East Asia includes China, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Lao PDR, Mongolia, Papua New Guinea and the island economies of the Pacific.

Asia's increased integration into the global economy is proving to be a double-edged sword, as "the impact of the crisis in the advanced economies was transmitted to the economies of the region with unusual speed," the report said.

Chastened by the 1997-98 Asian financial crisis, some middle-income countries -- Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines -- were better prepared for the recent upheaval in global financial markets, having improved banking supervision, strengthened their external balances and increased foreign exchange reserves.

But the economic slowdown has hit emerging Asia hard, especially the poorest countries. As worldwide demand declines, exports and industrial production across the region are falling, leading to factory closures, rising unemployment and lower real wages, the report found.

Unemployment in the region is reported to have increased to 24 million in January, up 1 million from a year earlier, the World Bank said. But it said the official numbers capture "only a small part of the deteriorating employment situation" and warned of "the beginning of a painful surge in unemployment throughout the region."

The bank praised Asian governments for reacting swiftly, cutting interest rates and taking other steps to ensure adequate liquidity in their financial markets, despite the increased burden it means for some countries already struggling under heavy debt loads.

Governments in developing East Asia have announced stimulus packages equivalent to 3.6% of their combined domestic product, and are expanding social programs to aid the most vulnerable.

The report said "the size of the fiscal stimulus may be increased in some countries with available fiscal space," such as China and Thailand.

Still, in a news conference in Tokyo, Vikram Nehru, the bank's regional chief economist for East Asia, said some countries with the ability to support more stimulus may be holding a bit in reserve in case additional measures are needed in the future.

The bank urged countries to focus on outlays to remove infrastructure or social bottlenecks and improve human capital, among other areas. "The countries that are able to tackle short-term challenges while staying focused on longer-term priorities will likely emerge better-placed after the crisis to resume stronger growth," the report said.

The World Bank said Asia's rapid growth of recent years may be a thing of the past. Even when global demand picks up, the report noted, "the region's outward-oriented economies are unlikely to enjoy the same success in the medium term as they did in the previous decade" as the developed world tries to save more and consume less.

The weaker growth also means some 10 million fewer people in the region will escape from poverty in 2009 than previously expected, the World Bank said. In Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia and East Timor, poverty rates are expected to rise.

Looking ahead, the bank recommends that developing Asia boost domestic demand and seek to grow through innovation, rather than imitation.

"Over the medium term, the countries of developing East Asia can achieve high rates of economic expansion in a slowly growing world economy to the extent they are able to extract more growth from domestic demand, boost competitiveness, penetrate new markets, and further improve the attractiveness of the region as a key destination for foreign investment," the report said.
