Dutch prime minister Mark Rutte and US president Donald Trump discussed trade issues and boosting the number of jobs stemming from direct investment in the two countries during their bilateral meeting on Thursday. 

The aim is to boost the number of US jobs created by Dutch investment to one million and to increase the 250,000 jobs in the Netherlands which are due to American activity, the prime minister and president said.

‘The bond between NL and the US is strong and centuries old,’ Rutte said on Twitter after the visit. ‘Today I discussed the special relationship between our two countries with president Trump at the White House. I look forward to continue and intensify our cooperation.’ 

This is the second time the two men have met at the White House and comes at a time when the US has asked the Netherlands to contribute to two military missions abroad, one in northern Syria and one in the Straits of Hormuz. 

Rutte said after the meeting he had told Trump that the requests are being considered carefully. ‘But I have not made any commitments,’ Rutte said. 

Racist chants 

During their press conference, Trump was asked about the racist chanting made during a speech at which he again criticised four congresswomen. The questioning made Rutte visibly uneasy, the Volkskrant said. 

In 2017, Rutte was himself at the centre of a similar row when he told a Dutch newspaper people who are not happy living in the Netherlands and with the way things are done should leave. And in 2016, he said a group of Dutch Turks demonstrating in Rotterdam should ‘eff off’. 

Flag 

The visit ended with a special ceremony to hand over a US flag which flew during the Normandy landings in 1944. 

The flag had been bought by a Dutch art collector at auction in 2016 for €450,000 and he decided to donate it to the US.

During that ceremony, Trump revealed that the US had shot down an Iranian drone over the Straits of Hormuz because it had come to close to a US ship. Without referring directly to the Netherlands, Trump again asked US allies to help the security mission. After the meeting with Trump, Rutte headed for Boston with a trade mission of Dutch companies.

Crying girl on the border is this year’s World Press Photo winner

DutchNews, April 12, 2019

 The winning photo ‘Crying Girl on the Border’ by John Moore of Getty Images 

This year’s World Press Photo photo of the year is John Moore’s image of a crying girl at the US border, which made newspapers around the world when it was published last year. 

The photo shows Honduran toddler Yanela Sanchez crying as she and her mother, Sandra Sanchez, are taken into custody by US border officials. After the picture was published worldwide, US officials confirmed that Yanela and her mother had not been among the thousands who had been separated. 

Nevertheless, public outcry over the controversial practice resulted in President Donald Trump reversing the policy on 20 June. 

John Moore, a senior staff photographer and special correspondent for Getty Images, said the image touched so many people’s hearts because ‘humanises a larger story’. 

‘When you see Yanela’s face, and she is more than two years old now, you really see the humanity and the fear of making such a long journey and crossing a border in the dead of night,’ he said. 

A new award this year is the photo story of the year, which went to The Migrant Caravan by Dutch/Swedish photographer Pieter Ten Hoopen. 

‘I wanted to cover what it means to be on the road to a new life – or what people hope to become a new life,’ Van Hoopen said. ‘I wanted to focus on the human aspects, on relations between the people and how they handle it.’ 

Now in their 62th year, the awards are handed out by the World Press Photo Foundation, based in Amsterdam. The winners will go on show at the Nieuwe Kerk as usual, but there will also be a two-day festival of photography at the Westergas site this weekend.

Far-right nationalist Forum will be biggest in Dutch senate with 13 seats

DutchNews, March 21, 2019

Thierry Baudet’s right-wing nationalist Forum voor Democratie has emerged as the big winner in the provincial elections and will take 13 seats in the 75 seat senate in May. 

The four coalition parties have lost their majority and will control 31 of the senate seats, forcing them to turn to opposition parties for support to get controversial legislation through. 

Prime minister Mark Rutte, in Brussels to discuss Brexit, told reporters that he would work to come to a ‘sensible majority’ in the upper house. Rutte said he would not try to come up with a pact, nor would he rule out any party, whether more left or right-wing than the coalition. 

Has Baudet really changed the political landscape?

Baudet, who before the elections said that the government would have to drop its climate plans to get his support, told voters in a Twitter message that the party does ‘feel a responsiblity to ensure real political change, not just in the provinces but also in the senate’. 

Nevertheless, he told reporters later, ‘we want to see a change of course from the government.’ 

GroenLinks, which now has nine seats in the senate after adding five to its total, would also be in a position to ensure a government majority, as would the Labour party which has seven. 

Amsterdam, Utrecht don’t fall for Forum 

Meanwhile Forum campaigned in the provinces on national issues and now faces the problem of making sure it fills the seats it has won on the 12 provincial councils. 

As the biggest party in both Zuid-Holland and Flevoland, Forum will be charged with putting together a working coalition in the regions, and Baudet said on Thursday he has already approached former VVD senator Hans Wiegel to work on his behalf in Rotterdam. 

Big losers of the night were Geert Wilders’ anti-immigration PVV which is on target to lose four of its nine senate seats, and the Socialists which will sink from nine to four. 

Wilders, whose support has been declining for years and has fallen 40% in the provinces, described his party’s losses as ‘limited’. ‘Six parties is not nothing,’ he said, adding that that the ‘unique PVV voice’ will continue to heard in the senate. 

Turnout was up sharply on the last provincial vote, with some 56% of people casting their vote. It was highest (60%) in Zeeland and Utrecht. 

• VVD from 13 to 12 seats 
• Forum voor Democratie from 0 to 13 seats 
• CDA from 12 to 9 seats 
• GroenLinks from 4 to 9 seats 
• PvdA from 8 to 7 seats
• D66 from 10 to 6 seats 
• PVV from 9 to 5 seats 
• ChristenUnie from 3 to 4 seats 
• SP from 9 to 4 seats 
• Partij voor de Dieren from 2 to 3 seats 
• 50PLUS unchanged at 2 
• SGP from 2 to 1 
• DENK none OSF (independent, local parties) none

"Wild Cards" (3) - Nov 19 - 20, 2016 (Kryon Channelling by Lee Carroll)- (Text version)

".... The Wild Card of 2016

Remember: No emotion now. You have come from another planet and you’re looking at the end of 2016 – and there is the election. Understand without bias.

So for 2016, let’s do the numerology. You add the numbers and get nine. Nine is completion in simple numerology, and when you see a nine it often means the completion of something. Often it is of a time cycle, an energy or the completion of a paradigm. But it’s very strong.

The nines are stronger than many of the other numerological aspects and you feel them. The president-elect (at this writing) is a strong wild card. He is scheduled to become the 45th president. What a coincidence! Forty-five is a nine. A nine and a nine together are more than significant. They tell a story about what is happening. I will tell you something else. This story is not finished yet and there is more coming. You don’t know what you don’t know, so don’t make up your mind in advance about any outcomes. You’re from another planet, remember? There’s no emotion, no bias, no politics and nothing to judge. Look at it for what it is.

A big stick has just been inserted into what is normal and it’s going to be turned. As the big stick turns, other things will respond that never would have responded otherwise. I wish to tell you, dear one, old soul, relax with upcoming wild cards. They do what they do on purpose so that you will have a better civilization in the future. Sometimes they show you what won’t work, and sometimes they change paradigms that would have never changed otherwise. But what you have now is a profound wild card. That is the message.

It’s so common for you to respond certain ways when you are invested in the process. The knee-jerk reaction is expected or you wouldn’t be a Human. However, for this lesson, you’re from another planet and you’re looking down and you’re seeing it. Pretend.

Isn’t that interesting about a nine and a nine together? It means that truly the end of something is here. Perhaps it’s the end of the old way things were done? Perhaps it’s a shake-up of the system so it can correct itself? Don’t dare make up your mind where it’s going, because it’s not finished yet. However, wait a moment. Did you also realize that 2017 is a “one” year? Not only is the energy one of completion with a double nine, but it moves into “a new beginning” (the definition of a one in numerology).

I have more to tell you about numerology, and also something that will be clearer about this whole situation. I will give this to you in the next channelling.

Can you relax in the face of uncertainty when it’s your own country? Can you relax in the face of not knowing what’s next? When you’re so involved, can you disengage from either side of the fray? That is the test of a Lightworker.

There’s something else coming. Dear ones, this is beautiful. No matter what you think and no matter what your reaction is to this channelling, what is happening is correct for your time and needed for your immediate future. I will speak of this later. The beauty is when you step away and see how grand it is, that Spirit cares enough that it would allow a big stick to occur that would stir your complacency at this time. The real reason? The shift is here.

How do you feel? I want you to relax and smile at what the shift has brought you. For those of you who felt all the “shift talk” was nonsense, this may be your wake-up call. It’s real. Here it comes.

This is the message of the day. I am Kryon, in love with humanity, and for good reason.

And so it is.

KRYON

"When the butterfly flaps" (2) - Dec 2 - 20, 2016 (Kryon Channelling by Lee Carroll)

"... Important Things For Now

If you started to examine the Higgs singlet, you would start to see why fractal time works the way it does. I’m going to stop getting scientific and I’m going to make this message more practical. There are those who will say time is in a circle. It is. In fact, time imprints energies on it that then often repeat. You probably have heard the saying, "Time repeats itself." It does. "History repeats itself." It does. And so, therefore, this whole idea of time in a circle or having imprinted energies on the circle is accurate. So as you go around the time circle, which to you is a straight line, you will then come upon what we will call energy markers of the past. Those energy markers may very well have the potential to create the same thing the last one did, repeating within the circle. Here it comes again, here it comes again, here it comes again.

Sociologists, historians and especially fractal time theorists believe you’re overdue for a world war, dear ones. However, you’re not going to have one! You passed that potential 16 years ago. All of the prophecy of the scripture told you that you would have one. Do you see how fractal time actually influenced all that prophecy? They expected this potential to happen. However, did you notice that it did not? Against all odds, it did not happen.

How many years have to go by before humanity will take a look and say, "You know, it didn’t happen"? All that prophecy, all those years, got you frightened and prepared. Much of humanity actually still expects a war. "Here it comes," people still say. If you watch your television, some science programs will say, “Well, it’s coming.” They are still watching the fractal energy. It’s very frightening. Many of your science fiction movies are based on a scenario where it already came! All this because you have the energy of "expectation" of something on the circle of time.

Listen: The fractal of time has a very interesting attribute, and it's what I wanted to tell you because this is so confusing to so many. If you profoundly change something in the circle of time, you rewrite the future. In other words, the fractals that existed before that tended to repeat are voided, and you create new potentials on the circle. You might say you moved into a slightly different dimension where the prophecies of old will not take place. There is absolute truth in that, and physics will show it, and this will be discovered some day. So, why do I tell you this? It takes a big event or very different thinking to change the circle. Although the Higgs Singlet can only observe the past, Human consciousness can change it! Not to get too technical, but there are even those in physics who believe you change the past when you change the future [retro-causality]!

The Wild Card: I presented a full discussion on wild cards the last time I was with you. I listed a number of them. I gave you the rules of wild cards and told you that they are not created by Spirit. They can be inventions, persons who have changed history or ideas. What happens is this: Humans move forward with ideas or higher consciousness, allowing Spirit to then give you the wild card.

For instance, did you notice that some of the most profound inventions came upon this planet all at once, all over the earth? What a coincidence! Centuries without flight, and then the Wright brothers only beat the French by a week or so! You can go on and on with others this way. It just seems that the earth is given the information all at once! That’s not exactly right. We don’t give you anything. Instead, we lift the veil slightly and the Humans that are able to think of these things do! That is what has happened repeatedly. So you create a wild card with your own rules and your own consciousness and your own systems when it's time to change the fractal of time – and you just did one.

We told you that your recent election brought you a wild card. The definition of a wild card is something totally and completely unexpected and out of time. It then changes things from then on. You have a wild card as your president-elect [channelled December 2016]. Now I beg you, wipe away the bias. It’s hard for some! Wipe it away and listen to this for just a moment, because this is the first time and perhaps the last that I’ll ever tell you this: There are those on this planet right now who can sense the fractals in the time circle. They are called pre-cogs. They have precognition from sensing what is coming on the circle of time repeating itself.

Your government knows about them and actually employs them! They are the few who can sense what is already there, because time is in a circle. Remember? Fractal time presents elements of energy that come at you in this circle; therefore, they can be sensed and made into predictions.

The Big Prediction

There is one prediction that stands out and it started to be seen last year or slightly before. The prediction, based on fractals, is that you’re going to have a major, potentially total, complete financial collapse in about February or March 2017.

Many of you have heard this and it’s frightening. The pre-cogs started talking about it, and then there were others who started talking about it. The closer it got, the more it was talked about. Now this also follows some logic, because the ones who study patterns of finance, stocks, investments and national debt see the pattern also. They started yelling, too, "It’s coming! Can’t you see it?" Some analysts are telling you to capture all your assets in another form, right away. Many are saying that banks will fail soon. What I want to tell you is that they were correct. The fractal does, indeed, have that energy!

The Butterfly Effect

Do you know what I’m going to tell you next? A man named Edward Lorenz gave a philosophy: When a butterfly flaps its wings, something major could happen in the future. It's because little things change bigger things and bigger things change even bigger things. He is right, and a wild card is a huge butterfly.

Here is what I want to tell you today. A majority was expecting a certain outcome to your election. Instead, you got a wild card. Let me tell you why: If the expected had happened, the financial systems would have stayed in place exactly the way they were. The one you expected would have taken over from the other and the systems that were bound to fail would have gone right into that very place and exploded into economic dysfunction. There would have been no reason to change anything for the one you expected, because the sense was that it was all working well.

Pretend you’re a visitor from space and you have no invested interest or bias at all in what has happened. You’re looking down in a metaphysical way and you’re saying, "Isn’t it interesting how this wild card is going to change what would have happened in February or March?" Are you understanding what I’m telling you?

Perhaps putting a stick in everything and turning it quickly is what was needed right now? This would be in order to change that specter of complete and total financial failure. I want you to see what’s going to happen, and not to fear it when some seeds of it may still occur – like a hiccup in the system when it gets too elevated. But I’ll tell you that without this wild card, it would have been "same old, same old", right to where the fruition of the problem would be. Then the pre-cogs would have been right. The fractal time potentials would have then proved themselves accurate. But instead, the main energy of the financial horror has been potentially voided because of the wild card. Remember, it was Humans with free choice and a free system that you designed who put the wild card in place.

Moving Forward

“Kryon, what's going to happen next?” Dear ones, it's up to you. What’s the most benevolent outcome? What you say and do is like placing an order to the Universe and the field. What is the order you’re going to place in the next months? Think of it as writing your take on all this and giving it to the "universal waitress". What’s going to come to your table? Aren’t you tired of ordering that which is the lowest expectation? Aren’t you tired of expecting horrible things from other people, then getting them? What are you going to do with this? Physics is on your side, dear ones, and has your back. However, you are in control of what happens next, by what you expect.

Like other wild cards that you received before, the design is that you can continue on and this planet can grow faster because of it. It won't have to be dragged down for years and years and years through a major collapse of the world economy. That’s the message of the day.

Can you feel the entourage yet? Can you feel the smiles and the joy of those who know the potentials of the future you have? You are in control, yet some of you feel so out of control. I want you to consider this message. I want you to watch what happens on the planet and I want you to adjust into a way where you can get up in the morning and place your order. Remember, think "most benevolent outcome" from everything you see. Order things that are joyful and that reflect the passing of the days of the ignorance of the six-year-old. Let that instead be replaced by maturity, wisdom and compassion.

I hope this helps to shed light on how things work in this new energy. There are more wild cards coming and some of them will be inventions. They will be mostly for the health and well-being and peacefulness of humanity on the planet.

I’m closing now. There will be those listening to this that will walk out and say, "That’s ridiculous. I know Human nature." Dear ones, they have just placed their order!

Be peaceful. Relax into yourself and be your own parent. Take the hand of your Higher-Self this day, and when you do, you’ll live longer.

I am Kryon, in love with humanity and for good reason.

And so it is.

Dutch prime minister to meet Donald Trump in July: NRC

DutchNews, June 6, 2018 

Dutch prime minister Mark Rutte will meet US president Donald Trump at the White House on July 2, the NRC reported on Wednesday. 

The paper bases its claim on sources in the US and in The Hague, but the state information service RVD has not commented on the report. The Netherlands is the third biggest foreign investor in the US. 

Talks between the two leaders are now being prepared at a civil service level, the paper said. The talks are expected to include Trump’s new tariffs on European steel and the EU’s response, as well the US decision to pull out of the Iran nuclear deal and the Paris agreement on climate change. 

Last month Rutte described the way US president Donald Trump pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal as ‘bullish’. 

‘After being urged by Europe not to do it, the US goes and pulls out of the deal with Iran in a very bullish way,’ Rutte told broadcaster NOS.

‘America is doing all sorts of things under its own steam, without taking its allies into account. And that is not a good thing.’ 

Rutte went on to say that friendship with the US remains important, but that the assumption that friends listen to each other and take each other into account ‘would appear to have been shot through’.

Dutch head home with 20 Olympic medals, and Esmee meets Ivanka

The Dutch Winter Olympic campaign ended this weekend with both Irene Schouten and Koen Verweij picking up bronze in the mass start race. 

In total, the Dutch finished the competition in fifth place with 20 medals – eight gold, six silver and six bronze – five above the target and four fewer than at the Sochi games. 

What the NOS summary of all eight Dutch golden moments 

The medal haul has generated over €400,000 for the winning athletes. Top earner, with gold in the 1,500 metres and two silvers, is Ireen Wust, who wins a medal bonus of €45,500. 

A gold medal delivers €25,500 to the winner, silver €19,125 and bronze €12,750, although the total amount goes down a little if they win more than one. 

Esmee Visser, surprise winner of the 5,000 gold medal, found herself back in the spotlight on Saturday when she was seated next to Ivanka Trump, daughter of the US president, to watch the mass start final. 

‘She didn’t really understand what was going on, so I explained it to her a bit,’ said Visser, who was earlier congratulated on her win by king Willem-Alexander, Roger Federer and Usain Bolt, broadcaster NOS reported.

New US ambassador to the Netherlands hands his credentials to the king

DutchNews, January 10, 2018

The new US ambassador to the Netherlands handed over his credentials to king Willem-Alexander at the Noordeinde palace in The Hague on Wednesday. 

Hoekstra is the first US ambassador to the Netherlands since early 2016, when Timothy Broas resigned. Since 2005, no US ambassador to the Netherlands has completed a four-year term in office. 

Pete Hoekstra was born in Groningen but his family emigrated to the US when he was three. He was a member of the House of Representatives for eight years but failed to win a senate seat in 2012. 

A religious conservative, Hoekstra opposes gay marriage and abortion, both of which are legal in the Netherlands. He also supports the death penalty and takes a very hard line on terrorism and Islam. 

The new ambassador caused controversy at the end of last year when he denied having told a conference that there are no-go areas in parts of the Netherlands and that politicians are being set on fire. 

He later apologised for describing the claims as fake news. 

Asked by journalists on Wednesday about the controversy, Hoekstra refused to comment on them directly, saying instead: ‘This is about the views and the policies of the United States of America, as directed by this administration.’

SheDecides initiative wins communication prize for former minister Lilianne Ploumen

DutchNews, January 9, 2018

Former aid minister Lilianne Ploumen has been awarded this year’s Machiavelli prize for her campaign for the safe abortion fund SheDecides. 

Ploumen set up the fund a year ago after being ‘deeply disappointed’ in US president Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw $535m in funding for groups that assist with or advocate abortion around the world. 

So far dozens of countries and individuals have pledged €400m for the fund. 

The Machiavelli prize is awarded to a person or organisation which the jury considers has excelled in public communication. In particular, the jury praised the speed at which SheDecides was set up and went global. 

‘A worldwide movement of countries, funds and people was created within less than six weeks,’ the jury report states. 

Ploumen told Radio 1 news that the initiative was spontaneous. ‘Usually I am someone who plans but when Trump came out with that decision, I thought “we have to do something. No plan, no strategy, but a real conviction that something had to happen”.’ 

New US ambassador calls his ‘no-go areas in the Netherlands’ claim fake news

DutchNews, December 22, 2017

The new US ambassador to the Netherlands has denied saying that there are no go areas in the Netherlands and that cars and politicians are being set on fire because of radical Islam. 

In an interview with current affairs programme Nieuwsuur, Pete Hoekstra told NOS correspondent Wouter Zwart he had never said such things. ‘I didn’t say that. That is actually an incorrect statement. We would call it fake news,’ Hoekstra said. 

However, the new ambassador can be seen clearly making the statements in a video recording from 2015. ‘And yes, there are no go areas in the Netherlands,’ Hoekstra states. 

Hoekstra will take up his position in January. He is known to be a supporter of Trump’s policy on the migration of Muslims to the United States and Europe. Hoekstra is also said to oppose gay marriage and abortion, both of which are legal in the Netherlands. 

The ambassador was born in Groningen but his family emigrated to the US when he was three. Hoekstra will be the first US ambassador to the Netherlands since early 2016, when Timothy Broas resigned. Since 2005, no US ambassador to the Netherlands has completed a four-year term in office.

@Nieuwsuur to new US ambassador: "You mentioned [..] that there are no go-zones in the Netherlands and that cars and politicians are set on fire."

Pete Hoekstra: "I didn't say that. That's actually an incorrect statement [..] fake news."

If you started to examine the Higgs singlet, you would start to see why fractal time works the way it does. I’m going to stop getting scientific and I’m going to make this message more practical. There are those who will say time is in a circle. It is. In fact, time imprints energies on it that then often repeat. You probably have heard the saying, "Time repeats itself." It does. "History repeats itself." It does. And so, therefore, this whole idea of time in a circle or having imprinted energies on the circle is accurate. So as you go around the time circle, which to you is a straight line, you will then come upon what we will call energy markers of the past. Those energy markers may very well have the potential to create the same thing the last one did, repeating within the circle. Here it comes again, here it comes again, here it comes again.

Sociologists, historians and especially fractal time theorists believe you’re overdue for a world war, dear ones. However, you’re not going to have one! You passed that potential 16 years ago. All of the prophecy of the scripture told you that you would have one. Do you see how fractal time actually influenced all that prophecy? They expected this potential to happen. However, did you notice that it did not? Against all odds, it did not happen.

How many years have to go by before humanity will take a look and say, "You know, it didn’t happen"? All that prophecy, all those years, got you frightened and prepared. Much of humanity actually still expects a war. "Here it comes," people still say. If you watch your television, some science programs will say, “Well, it’s coming.” They are still watching the fractal energy. It’s very frightening. Many of your science fiction movies are based on a scenario where it already came! All this because you have the energy of "expectation" of something on the circle of time.

Listen: The fractal of time has a very interesting attribute, and it's what I wanted to tell you because this is so confusing to so many. If you profoundly change something in the circle of time, you rewrite the future. In other words, the fractals that existed before that tended to repeat are voided, and you create new potentials on the circle. You might say you moved into a slightly different dimension where the prophecies of old will not take place. There is absolute truth in that, and physics will show it, and this will be discovered some day. So, why do I tell you this? It takes a big event or very different thinking to change the circle. Although the Higgs Singlet can only observe the past, Human consciousness can change it! Not to get too technical, but there are even those in physics who believe you change the past when you change the future [retro-causality]!

The Wild Card: I presented a full discussion on wild cards the last time I was with you. I listed a number of them. I gave you the rules of wild cards and told you that they are not created by Spirit. They can be inventions, persons who have changed history or ideas. What happens is this: Humans move forward with ideas or higher consciousness, allowing Spirit to then give you the wild card.

For instance, did you notice that some of the most profound inventions came upon this planet all at once, all over the earth? What a coincidence! Centuries without flight, and then the Wright brothers only beat the French by a week or so! You can go on and on with others this way. It just seems that the earth is given the information all at once! That’s not exactly right. We don’t give you anything. Instead, we lift the veil slightly and the Humans that are able to think of these things do! That is what has happened repeatedly. So you create a wild card with your own rules and your own consciousness and your own systems when it's time to change the fractal of time – and you just did one.

We told you that your recent election brought you a wild card. The definition of a wild card is something totally and completely unexpected and out of time. It then changes things from then on. You have a wild card as your president-elect [channelled December 2016]. Now I beg you, wipe away the bias. It’s hard for some! Wipe it away and listen to this for just a moment, because this is the first time and perhaps the last that I’ll ever tell you this: There are those on this planet right now who can sense the fractals in the time circle. They are called pre-cogs. They have precognition from sensing what is coming on the circle of time repeating itself.

Your government knows about them and actually employs them! They are the few who can sense what is already there, because time is in a circle. Remember? Fractal time presents elements of energy that come at you in this circle; therefore, they can be sensed and made into predictions.

The Big Prediction

There is one prediction that stands out and it started to be seen last year or slightly before. The prediction, based on fractals, is that you’re going to have a major, potentially total, complete financial collapse in about February or March 2017.

Many of you have heard this and it’s frightening. The pre-cogs started talking about it, and then there were others who started talking about it. The closer it got, the more it was talked about. Now this also follows some logic, because the ones who study patterns of finance, stocks, investments and national debt see the pattern also. They started yelling, too, "It’s coming! Can’t you see it?" Some analysts are telling you to capture all your assets in another form, right away. Many are saying that banks will fail soon. What I want to tell you is that they were correct. The fractal does, indeed, have that energy!

The Butterfly Effect

Do you know what I’m going to tell you next? A man named Edward Lorenz gave a philosophy: When a butterfly flaps its wings, something major could happen in the future. It's because little things change bigger things and bigger things change even bigger things. He is right, and a wild card is a huge butterfly.

Here is what I want to tell you today. A majority was expecting a certain outcome to your election. Instead, you got a wild card. Let me tell you why: If the expected had happened, the financial systems would have stayed in place exactly the way they were. The one you expected would have taken over from the other and the systems that were bound to fail would have gone right into that very place and exploded into economic dysfunction. There would have been no reason to change anything for the one you expected, because the sense was that it was all working well.

Pretend you’re a visitor from space and you have no invested interest or bias at all in what has happened. You’re looking down in a metaphysical way and you’re saying, "Isn’t it interesting how this wild card is going to change what would have happened in February or March?" Are you understanding what I’m telling you?

Perhaps putting a stick in everything and turning it quickly is what was needed right now? This would be in order to change that specter of complete and total financial failure. I want you to see what’s going to happen, and not to fear it when some seeds of it may still occur – like a hiccup in the system when it gets too elevated. But I’ll tell you that without this wild card, it would have been "same old, same old", right to where the fruition of the problem would be. Then the pre-cogs would have been right. The fractal time potentials would have then proved themselves accurate. But instead, the main energy of the financial horror has been potentially voided because of the wild card. Remember, it was Humans with free choice and a free system that you designed who put the wild card in place.

Moving Forward

“Kryon, what's going to happen next?” Dear ones, it's up to you. What’s the most benevolent outcome? What you say and do is like placing an order to the Universe and the field. What is the order you’re going to place in the next months? Think of it as writing your take on all this and giving it to the "universal waitress". What’s going to come to your table? Aren’t you tired of ordering that which is the lowest expectation? Aren’t you tired of expecting horrible things from other people, then getting them? What are you going to do with this? Physics is on your side, dear ones, and has your back. However, you are in control of what happens next, by what you expect.

Like other wild cards that you received before, the design is that you can continue on and this planet can grow faster because of it. It won't have to be dragged down for years and years and years through a major collapse of the world economy. That’s the message of the day.

Can you feel the entourage yet? Can you feel the smiles and the joy of those who know the potentials of the future you have? You are in control, yet some of you feel so out of control. I want you to consider this message. I want you to watch what happens on the planet and I want you to adjust into a way where you can get up in the morning and place your order. Remember, think "most benevolent outcome" from everything you see. Order things that are joyful and that reflect the passing of the days of the ignorance of the six-year-old. Let that instead be replaced by maturity, wisdom and compassion.

I hope this helps to shed light on how things work in this new energy. There are more wild cards coming and some of them will be inventions. They will be mostly for the health and well-being and peacefulness of humanity on the planet.

I’m closing now. There will be those listening to this that will walk out and say, "That’s ridiculous. I know Human nature." Dear ones, they have just placed their order!

Be peaceful. Relax into yourself and be your own parent. Take the hand of your Higher-Self this day, and when you do, you’ll live longer.

I am Kryon, in love with humanity and for good reason.

And so it is.
