King Willem-Alexander has apologised to Indonesia for the violent excesses by Dutch soldiers during the Indonesian independence war of 1945-49. 

The king, on his first official state visit to Indonesia, said in his speech that the past cannot be erased, and will have to be acknowledged by each generation in turn. 

‘In line with earlier statements by my government, I would like to express my regret and apologise for excessive violence on the part of the Dutch in those years,’ the king said. ‘I do so in the full realisation that the pain and sorrow of the families affected continue to be felt today.’ 

However, he continued, ‘it is a hopeful and encouraging sign that countries which were once on opposite sides have been able to grow closer and develop a new relationship based on respect, trust and friendship.’ 

The Dutch military interventions in Indonesia, or Dutch Indies as it was known then, followed the proclamation of the independent Republic of Indonesia in 1945 and lasted until the country formally gained independence in 1949 after a bloody struggle. 

At the end of 2011, the Netherlands finally formally apologised for the massacre of hundreds of men and boys in the Javanese village of Rawagede in 1947 and in 2013, the Dutch ambassador to the Netherlands made a similar apology. 

In 2015, prime minister Mark Rutte said he regretted the fact that Indonesian victims of the Japanese invasion during World War II feel misunderstood, but stopped short of apologising. 

In 2016, the government commissioned a report into the decolonisation process, which has still not been completed. 

The state visit, which also includes a large trade mission, runs until Friday. The programme has been adapted after a boat accident in the Sebangau National Park in which seven people died. The accident happened as preparations were being made to welcome the king and queen Maxima.

Minister confirms a Dutch bomb led to 70 deaths in Iraq in 2015

The Netherlands has admitted that one of its fighter jets was responsible for the attack on a ISIS bomb-making factory in Iraq in 2015 in which 70 people died.

It is the first time the Dutch government has given concrete details about its role in the air strikes against ISIS targets. Last month, the defence ministry had refused to deny or confirm whether the Netherlands was involved in bombardment, following claims in the Dutch media. 

The attack, one of the bloodiest in the international effort to combat IS, destroyed a complete neighbourhood in the town of Hawija. 

Reuters reported at the time that 70 civilians had been killed and said the bomb attack ‘triggered a series of secondary explosions that reduced the surrounding area in the industrial district to rubble’. And the Pentagon said three weeks after the attack it would formally investigate the incident, confirming that some 70 people had died. 

Dutch defence minister Ank Bijleveld has now told MPs in a briefing that Dutch bombs were involved in the attack. 

The information which the bomb factory attack was based on, later turned out to have been incomplete and at the time it had been assumed no-one lived in the vicinity, the minister said. In addition, officials had been surprised by the large amounts of explosives in the factory, which led to a second explosion that flatted the area around the plant. 

Regret 

The minister said the Netherlands deeply regretted the deaths of civilians, particularly given that the Dutch approach had been to prevent secondary damage and human deaths. ‘But this was a war situation in which these risks can never be completely ruled out,’ she said. 

Former defence minister Jeanine Hennis was wrong when she told parliament shortly after the bomb factory attack that no citizens had been killed by Dutch actions in the region. Hennis, now UN special representative in Iraq, declined to comment, broadcaster NOS said. 

Dutch F16s were used in Iraq and Syria between 2014 and 2016 and in 2018 as part of the international coalition against IS. In total they were involved with 2,100 bombing raids. Dutch military operations are extremely sensitive to the possibility of civilian casualties since the Srebrenica massacre in 1998, and all involvement in military missions has to be cleared by parliament.

Army unions call for rethink on deporting Afghan interpreter

DutchNews, October 18, 2019

Army unions and aid groups have joined forces to urge the Netherlands not to deport an Afghan man who worked as a translator for the military for 13 years. 

They have taken out a page-sized advert in the Telegraaf calling for a rethink, after the man’s request for a residency permit was rejected. 

‘The Taliban and IS see interpreters and others who worked for the international military in Afghanistan as spies and traitors,’ the advert states. ‘They are threatened and forced to go into hiding.’ 

Defence minister Ank Bijleveld said this summer that interpreters who feel threatened are welcome in the Netherlands. 

The immigration service IND which assesses asylum claims has not yet commented. 

Around 120 locals worked for the Dutch as interpreters in Uruzgan between 2006 and 2010.

The Netherlands’ longest running musical, Soldier of Orange, goes international

DutchNews, April 5, 2019 - By Robin Pascoe

An international version of the longest-running Dutch musical, Soldaat van Oranje will premier in London next year, seven years after a move to Britain was first mooted. 

The musical is based on the true story of resistance hero Erik Hazelhoff Roelfzema, who was a student at Leiden University when the Nazis occupied the Netherlands. He went underground and fled to England, where he carried out numerous missions in the service of the Dutch monarchy in exile. 

British scenario writer Jeremy Brock, who was partly responsible for the hit British hospital drama Casualty, has been drafted in for the script. ‘I passionately believe in that all great drama draws universal themes from particular narratives,’ Brock, who has seen the show five times, told DutchNews.nl. 

‘The Soldier story is, with careful nuancing, a perfect story for a modern British audience: it’s about love, loyalty, self-sacrifice and whether, under pressure, any one of us would stand on the sidelines or make the bravest decision in the name of love or country.’ 

In the Netherlands the musical plays in a rotating 1,100 seat auditorium in a converted aircraft hanger on a Dutch military base. The scenes include a seascape, complete with water, and an aircraft which taxis to a stop. 

A special theatre for the the ‘whole Soldier experience’ is being built in London’s Royal Dock where the show will be staged. 

So far, more than 2.8 million people have seen the show in the Netherlands, which premiered in October 2010. ‘There is an enormous amount of intellectual snobbishness about musicals,’ Brock said. ‘But the show in the Netherlands has been seen by more than 2.8 million people and some of them have seen it four or five times.’ 

‘People want a story with themes they recognise and Soldier is brilliantly presented entertainment. This is experience theatre.’

Former Dutch defence minister to lead United Nations mission to Iraq

DutchNews, September 1, 2018

VVD MP and former defence minister Jeanine Hennis is leaving parliament for a job with the United Nations. Hennis has been appointed the UN secretary general’s special representative in Iraq and will lead the UN mission there, the Dutch government said in a statement. 

Hennis replaces Slovakia’s Ján Kubis who has done the job since 2015. She is the second Dutch national to lead the mission: former Labour party leader Ad Melkert held the role from 2009 to 2011. 

Hennis was in second place on the VVD candidates list for last year’s general election and is known as a close confidant of prime minister Mark Rutte. In her new role, she will be responsible for the Iraq mission’s operational and political management. 

Hennis stood down as a minister after coming under fire for several failings within the ministry, including a fatal accident in Mali in which two Dutch soldiers were killed. An inquiry found the accident was due to shortcomings in defence ministry equipment. 

She is the second high profile MP for the right-wing Liberal VVD to leave within a few days. Han ten Broeke stepped down on Thursday because of revelations about what he qualified as a ‘short-lived and intimate relationship’ with a young party worker in 2013.

Defence ministry will compensate technical staff made ill by carcinogenic paints

The defence ministry said on Monday that it will give financial compensation to hundreds of people who became ill after using highly carcinogenic paints. 

A deal has been worked out with the military unions and defence ministry workers who developed cancer and other ailments are now able to claim up to €40,000 for immaterial damage and €3,850 towards medical costs. 

‘The defence ministry has failed. I am sorry but I cannot turn back the clock,’ junior defence minister Barbara Visser told MPs. 

Last week it emerged that the government is liable for the health issues which hundreds of armed forces engineers have reported after being exposed to paint containing high levels of toxic Chromium 6. 

They had been involved in maintaining American Nato equipment at five bases between 1984 and 2006. 

The research, by the public health institute RIVM, showed that the defence ministry was aware of the health problems since 1973 but had had not shared this with doctors or soldiers. The RIVM began its research in 2014 after the scandal became public. 

In addition, the safety standards at the five locations where the equipment was maintained were not up to scratch. ‘The defence ministry’s prevention and care strategies did not meet the regulations,’ the RIVM report stated. 

More than 350 former defence workers have so far come forward to make a claim against the ministry.

Prince Harry confirms Invictus Games 2020 will be held in The Hague

Britain’s prince Harry on Monday confirmed that the fifth edition of the Invictus Games will be held in The Hague. 

Harry said in a statement that the games will be held in the Netherlands in 2020 and that the event will ‘motivate hundreds of servicemen and women using the Invictus Games to inspire their recovery from physical and mental injuries’. 

The prince, who served with the British army in Afghanistan, created the Paralympic-style games to inspire injured soldiers toward recovery. This year the event takes place in Sydney in October and over 500 men and women from 19 countries are expected to take part. 

News that the games would be held in the Netherlands first leaked out last week and broadcaster NOS said the prince would be in the Netherlands at the end of July in connection with the event. 

The Hague mayor Pauline Krikke said in a reaction that she is ‘extremely proud’ the prince has chosen the Netherlands. ‘I am sure that these veterans will feel at home in our international city of peace and justice. We will welcome them with open arms.’

Dutch defence minister resigns over Mali mortar accident critical report

Dutch defence minister Jeanine Hennis resigned on Tuesday night at the end of a stormy debate on a report into the death of two soldiers with the peacekeeping mission in Mali. 

Hennis, who came under fire from across the political spectrum, said she had no option but to resign for the ‘clumsy’ way she had dealt with the report which blamed failures in the military’s safety and medical procedures for the deaths. 

The report, published last Thursday, said ‘serious deficiencies’ in military procedures for an accident on 6th July 2016, when a 60mm mortar set off a grenade during a practice session. 

It said procedures were not properly followed in purchasing the weapons, initially for a mission in Afghanistan in 2006. They were not kept cool enough in transportation and storage, and medical care at a local hospital was inadequate. 

Dutch armed forces chief Tom Middendorp has also resigned. In a five-page letter to Dutch soldiers, he spoke of his last visit to the relatives of the two men who died an Mali, and praised the armed forces for their work around the globe. 

Almost 300 Dutch soldiers have remained in Mali in 2017 on a UN mission to guard the fragile peace. 

Passion

Prime minister Mark Rutte said after the resignation that he valued Hennis as a colleague. ‘I have seen how much passion she puts into her work for our armed forces with my own eyes during missions,’ he said. 

It is unclear as yet what the resignation means for Hennis’ future. She had been tipped for a role in the new cabinet. 

Junior justice minister Klaas Dijkhoff is taking over at the defence ministry helm until a new government is finalised.

Dutch cabinet agrees to fund research into violence in Indonesia

DutchNews, December 2, 2016

The Dutch government has agreed to finance a major investigation into the structural use of violence during the end of Dutch rule in its former colonies in Indonesia. 

Ministers agreed on Friday to fund the project after new research indicated that extreme violence, including torture and executions, were normal during the colonial wars, which ran from 1945 to 1949. 

In a statement, the cabinet said it realises that the research could ‘cause pain to soldiers who served in Indonesia’. 

However, it is important that the research takes into account the ‘difficult circumstances most veterans operated in, the violence on the Indonesia side…. and the responsibilities of the political, administrative and military leadership.’ 

During the battle for independence, some 100,000 Indonesians and almost 5,000 Dutch nationals died. According to the Telegraaf, the ruling VVD only agreed to back the research if violence by both the Dutch and the Indonesians came under the spotlight. 

Report

‘Dutch soldiers left a trail of burning kampongs and piles of bodies throughout the Indonesian archipelago,’ Swiss-Dutch historian Rémy Limpach said in his report, which was published in September. 

Until now, the official line had been that there were only isolated incidents of excessive violence.

‘The Netherlands has always had difficulty with this dark side of its own history,’ Socialist MP Harry van Bommel told the Volkskrant on Friday. ‘But I think this research is the start of a road towards recognition. It is primarily about political responsibility.’ 

Bloody struggle 

The Dutch military interventions in Indonesia, or Dutch Indies as it was known then, followed the proclamation of the independent Republic of Indonesia in 1945 and lasted until the country formally gained independence in 1949 after a bloody struggle. 

At the end of 2011, the Netherlands finally formally apologised for the massacre of hundreds of men and boys in the Javanese village of Rawagede in 1947. 

The Netherlands has also been ordered in court to pay compensation in connection with a bloodbath in southern Sulawesi. 

The research will be carried out by three Dutch institutes who submitted a specific research proposal in 2012, but failed to secure funding, the Telegraaf said. 

Dutch army brings in yoga teacher to help soldiers de-stress

DutchNews, October 19, 2016

The Dutch armed forces have brought in a yoga teacher to see if yoga exercises can help soldiers process stress and traumatic experiences, according to the AD. 

Johan Noordloos will focus primarily on teaching army sports instructors to incorporate yoga into their programmes, the paper said. 

Noordloos told the AD that yoga and being trained to kill are not incompatible. 

Dutch soldiers do kill, but they do that to protect others, he said. ‘This is the world we live in,’ he said. ‘But I can help people who have been trained to deal with war to experience peace.’ 

The lessons will be voluntary and no soldier will be forced to take up yoga, although officials say they do believe the practice will be useful. 

‘Being in the army puts soldiers in stressful situations,’ spokesman Jeroen de Vries told the paper. ‘Yoga can help restore the balance in their lives. We want to find out if it helps them deal with difficult situations more easily.’ 

Jean Debie, head of the VBM military union, has welcomed the move. ‘Why not learn the technique if it helps your relax and beat stress,’ Debie said. 

According to the AD, yoga is already used in by the British and US armed forces.

'I'm a monster': US veterans feel 'alone' in guilt

"The Recalibration of Awareness – Apr 20/21, 2012 (Kryon channeled by Lee Carroll) (Subjects: Old Energy, Recalibration Lectures, God / Creator, Religions/Spiritual systems  (Catholic Church, Priests/Nun’s, Worship, John Paul Pope, Women in the Church otherwise church will go, Current Pope won’t do it),  Middle East, Jews, Governments will change (Internet, Media, Democracies, Dictators, North Korea, Nations voted at once), Integrity (Businesses, Tobacco Companies, Bankers/ Financial Institutes, Pharmaceutical company to collapse),  Illuminati (Started in Greece, with Shipping, Financial markets, Stock markets, Pharmaceutical money (fund to build Africa, to develop)), Shift of Human Consciousness, (Old) Souls, Women, Masters to/already come back, Global Unity.... etc.) - (Text version)

“… "Wow, Kryon, how long is that going to take?"

The Humans in the room control that and those listening later and reading. When you leave this room, what are you going to do? Go home, report this, rub your hands together, and wait for it to happen? It won't. For the Humans in the room and the old souls hearing and reading have got work to do, and I've told you this before. You've got work to do.

There's an alliance that you're going to have to create with one another and with another group - the young people of Earth. The youth of this earth are changing the way things work. Can you see it? You're not supposed to sit around and watch them either, because they need you, old soul.

It's time for you to align with the indigos and the concepts of the youth of the planet. Do not think for a moment that their age shows their wisdom. These two attributes are not commensurate with one another; they're not linear. These young people may be older souls than you are! Don't think that because they've got technology that you don't understand that you can't be one with them. Their technology is social networking, the very thing we are talking about, where everyone can talk to everyone. The new consciousness on the planet starts in two areas - the children and the old souls.

Conclusion

This is the message of the day. The recalibration of awareness is going to change systems, education, government and finance. Those who don't choose to be spiritual at all will still move with a new awareness, for they will be aware of something that they are not aware of now - a softer way of living.

We close with a trite statement that we've given before, but that many have stated in jest: "If women ran the world, they would never send their sons to be killed on a battlefield."

Many laugh. How trite, how simple minded. Indeed, there have been women leaders who have put wars together; they had to. They sent their sons, so that's not really a correct statement. However, it's more right than you may think, dear ones.

So now I will make the statement I have made over and over in these recalibrated channellings: "When recalibrated Humans run the world, there will come a day when they will never send their sons into the battlefield." You see, awareness will change all of that. They will eventually see the wisdom of unification, new ways to settle issues, and the intuitive attribute of putting things together instead of tearing them apart.

There will be a time when government armies will not need to be large, and weapons will not be as powerful. Slowly, government won't need them. Slowly, slower than you want, these things will happen as the old soul carries his light and looks at the masters of the planet and emulates them.

You've all heard it: There will come a time when the masters will come back to Earth, and there are many who are waiting for this. However, it has already happened! They couldn't come back until the alignment was right and now it is right. This is what you are feeling in 2012 and beyond. It's starting to happen, and they're back. But they're not back as corporeal Human Beings. They're back as the energy of recalibrating of the awareness of God.

I wouldn't say these things unless they were true. Watch for these things, dear ones. Remember where you heard them first and when some of them start to occur in your news. And when you see the earth working in this fashion, dear one, maybe you'll realize that what I have given today is real.

Be circumspect. There is no perfect timing. Humans will create all this at their own pace. Do not be in fear of the things that might follow, for I say it yet again that the old energy will show itself soon in survival mode and it won't be pretty.

In this beginning of new energy, stand tall and turn on your light. Darkness will shirk before you. That is the truth of the day.

I am Kryon, in love with humanity.

And so it is.

KRYON.

Former UN soldiers sue the Netherlands over deployment to Srebrenica

Former UN soldiers have sued the Netherlands, saying they were led into an impossible mission. The soldiers have been accused of being complicit in the massacre of thousands in Srebrenica.

DeutscheWelle, 30 June 2016

Dutchbat troops in Srebrenica in 1995

Laywers representing the 12 veterans said on Thursday the men had been sent on an "impossible mission" to Srebrenica, the site of one of the worst atrocities on European soil since the Holocaust.

"Dutchbat was sent without appropriate preparation, without sufficient materials and capacity on an impossible mission," the lawyers said, referring to the name of the men's peacekeeping unit.

During the height of the 1992-95 war in Bosnia, the soldiers were sent to Srebrenica in order to protect the town from advancing Bosnian Serbs. However, when the town was overrun, the peacekeepers capitulated and some 8,000 Muslim Bosniak boys and men were massacred.

Lingering damages

Lawyers said the soldiers had never been compensated for the psychological and financial damages incurred as a result of their deployment.

The announcement came the same day a panel at the International Criminal Tribunal rejected the appeals of two former senior Bosnian Serb officials, Mico Stanisic and Stojan Zupljanin, who had been convicted for playing key roles in the murder of Muslims and Croats during the war.

The men, who were associated of former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic, were handed down 22-year prison sentences in 2013.

Women are to be allowed to join the Netherlands’ elite Marine Corps for the first time since its foundation in 1665, news agency ANP said on Friday. 

Defence minister Jeanine Hennis said at the end of last year she was considering opening up the profession to women. Women will be subject to the same strict entry requirements as men, Hennis said. 

Training to join the oldest branch of the Dutch armed forces last 33 weeks and no more than 50% of recruits actually pass. 

Women are now allowed to work in every branch of the armed services apart from on submarines.

The Netherlands prepares to remember its war dead

DutchNews, May 4, 2016

Ceremonies for the Dutch victims of World War II are taking place all over the country on Wednesday as the Netherlands remembers its war dead. 

Rotterdam’s mayor Ahmed Aboutelab will give this year’s May 4 speech in the Dutch capital, which will be broadcast live on television. 

This evening king Willem-Alexander and queen Máxima will lay wreaths at the war memorial on Amsterdam’s city centre Dam square. After the wreath-laying, the bells will toll for two minutes silence. This takes place nationwide at 20.00 every year. 

Public transport stops running during the two minute break and there are no take-offs and landings at Schiphol airport. Telecoms firms have also urged people to switch off their mobile phones. 

This afternoon prime minister Mark Rutte is attending a ceremony to mark the 70th anniversary of the war graves foundation at the Loenen cemetery, where the bodies of Dutch soldiers killed in peace-keeping operations are also buried. 

Criticism

The dead remembered on May 4 are the victims of World War II, subsequent wars and peace-keeping campaigns, but every year there are calls for change.

In 2012, the event committee cancelled a poetry reading by a 15-year-old boy at the national war memorial in Amsterdam who wrote about his uncle who had joined the SS. In 2013, there were calls for German soldiers to be remembered as well. 

This year a group of young activists have launched a social media campaign calling for a change to the way May 4 is celebrated. ‘May 4 has no point while we allow the rise of fascism and hatred of Muslims to continue unchecked,’ Christa Noella said on Facebook. 

Until 1961, the ceremony focused on World War II victims but was then expanded to cover people who died in the Dutch-Indonesia conflict and on peace-keeping missions in Lebanon, Bosnia and Afghanistan. 

On Thursday, the Netherlands celebrates Liberation Day, with concerts and other events all over the country, in what is expected to be one of the hottest days of the year so far.

Thousands of people packed on to the Dam to remember those who died.

“.   New Tolerance

Look for a softening of finger pointing and an awakening of new tolerance. There will remain many systems for different cultures, as traditions and history are important to sustaining the integrity of culture. So there are many in the Middle East who would follow the prophet and they will continue, but with an increase of awareness. It will be the increase of awareness of what the prophet really wanted all along - unity and tolerance. The angel in the cave instructed him to "unify the tribes and give them the God of Israel." You're going to start seeing a softening of intolerance and the beginning of a new way of being.

Eventually, this will create an acknowledgement that says, "You may not believe the way we believe, but we honor you and your God. We honor our prophet and we will love you according to his teachings. We don't have to agree in order to love." How would you like that? The earth is not going to turn into one belief system. It never will, for Humans don't do that. There must be variety, and there must be the beauty of cultural differences. But the systems will slowly update themselves with increased awareness of the truth of a new kind of balance. So that's the first thing. Watch for these changes, dear ones. ...."


Archangel Michael: Peace on Earth is Not a Dream

Golden Age of Gaia, Steve Beckow, February 13, 2015

Archangel Michael will find a way to get his message out. Linda was not planning on giving a reading today, but a caller begged her. And in the course of the reading, AAM sent a message to all of us. Here it is:

Greetings I am Michael, Archangel of Peace, Warrior of Love, bringer of news.

Our time is at hand and you know this. As we nudge, encourage and conjoin with so many upon the planet to bring forth in form not merely in heart but in form, not only the promise of peace but the actuality of peace.

This is not a dream. This is not an unreality. This is not, as some think, ‘pie in the sky.’

This is what our partnership, our sacred union, our co-creation together, is capable of. And always has been. Only now the human vibration, frequency and knowingness has risen to a level where humans are consciously aware that they are able and capable of anchoring peace on Earth with us right now.

This is not merely an exercise of intent, but of will and action. It is a glorious day. It is not a day of defeat. It is not a day of fear. It is not a day of worry. It is a glorious day!

So I reassure you, my beloved one, and I reassure many, peace is at hand. And I thank you for all the assistance, the diligence, all the consistency that you have offered to and with me – you are cherished.

“…  8 - The End of War

The last one is the best. For thousands of years on this planet, Human Beings have warred with each other. If you take a look at the reasons they warred with each other, you will quickly see there aren't any good ones - land, resources, greed. Those are not reasons. That is a description of old energy. Those are not reasons. Reasons would be perhaps defense against an aggressor. But what if there is no longer the consciousness of the aggressor?

When I appeared in my partner's life more than 20 years ago, I said to him privately that the first messages we're going to give will be unbelievable. There would be laughter. We told him that Human nature and consciousness itself would change, and that the seeds of peace would be planted and there would come a time where there is no more war. Indeed, the laughter was great because humans look at history and they see patterns based on an absolute energy called Human Nature. "Impossible! There always has to be war. There always has been. Therefore, there always will be." This is you, in a box, in a black and white potential, where you can only see the black and white of what is and the black and white of what has been. You have no idea the shades of color that are there in your consciousness and the beauty of the love of God.

North Korea is on the edge of change, as we told you it might be. What did this require? The death of the old energy, and I want you to watch this take place. The advisors of the young leader are going to do their best to pull him back into an old energy. This free choice of his will be far different than his father, for he sees some color. Watch for these things. They'll take longer than you want, but it is the beginning of the beginning.

You'll see a fresh unification of South America sooner than not, for what is going to take place potentially this year in Venezuela. You'll see Iran changing. We have no clock. These are the potentials. These can change with free choice. These are not prophecies. This is a reality shift, dear ones, so number eight becomes the propensity not to war again. This is what Humans are going to want. This is what governments are going to want. There is a wisdom factor that will begin to happen on the planet that is grander than what you think is possible. For when you look at government, what do you think about? You see dysfunction, and there is an axiom that says the more people that try to do something together, the worse it gets. It all settles to the lowest common denominator. I'm telling you even those things are going to become old energy concepts. Instead, you're going to watch wisdom become the top potential.

I have no clock. I cannot tell you when. I can just tell you it is in the works, and there will be the seeds of it for you to observe soon - right now, in every single of the eight categories I showed you.

There are those who will say, "Well, Kryon, you're doing a lot more predictions than you used to." I want to tell you what's going on, dear one. I am not predicting anything. I am just telling you what's already there in the potential soup of your reality. That's what Humans are doing on this planet, and for those who believe this communication, you should breathe a sigh of relief and say, "It's about time." ….”

"The Biggest Filter" - July 18-19, 2015 (Kryon Channelling by Lee Carroll) - (Text version)

“..  War - Nobody Sees What is Coming

Let's talk about war. Let's discuss something that very few are considering. What you expect next is completely and totally out of perspective of what's actually coming, because you only have one kind of knowledge about war. Your war has advanced over history with bigger explosions, higher yields and weapons that fire faster. Nuclear, laser, sound - all are far more efficient ways to terminate life. That's how war has evolved. However, there hasn't really been anything called anti-war devices, have there?

I'm going to give you an invitation for discovery, and some are already in the postulation stage of this. Multidimensional fields change 3D reality. Period. I've told you that lurking in your future are discoveries that will help you with every aspect of your life, mainly due to the discovery of what makes basic physics do what it does at the atomic level. If you fully understand multidimensionality, you can manipulate the formula for mass and create massless objects. You can even do it with the tools you have right now.

There is physics possible that can create certain kinds of fields - listen to me - certain kinds of heretofore unseen multidimensional fields that are harmless to your biology, but will alter some attributes of 3D. These fields are designer fields, and they are isolated and specifically designed for one purpose. When in the field, conventional explosive reactions can't happen. Can you imagine putting a field within rooms of a building so that no matter what weapon is fired, whether it's a machine gun or a pistol, it simply won't work! What about targeting an airplane when it drops a bomb and it won't explode? This is pure physics. The alteration of 3D reality through multidimensional designer fields, both small and large, is coming. I know you don't believe it, but just wait. As you start to discover multidimensional physics and the ability to control it, you will discover that there is a "benevolent attitude" of this kind of physics. You can't "weaponize it" as easily as you can 3D. It is an entirely different kind of reality.

Again, I tell you that when you understand how mass is created at the atomic level, you'll learn how to create massless objects. By the way, that has another name. You call it anti-gravity, but there is no such thing. It's just the ability to finally control the formula that creates gravity with mass. You understand that this is simple physics, don't you? And it's very easy to manipulate for benevolent uses through other fields that you do know about. Just like you have learned to control certain kinds of physics that are 3D, you can also control multidimensional physics. Imagine a planet where it doesn't matter what war device you had, it wouldn't work anymore! What do you think about that? Imagine physics having the ability to shatter the molecules of a biological weapon. Do you think that would change world politics? It's happening, it's going to happen. It's in the laboratory today. You're broaching the discovery of multidimensional physics. Being able to control that which you don't think is controllable is what you are doing. It's going to make such a difference to the Human race!

You don't believe it, since your knowledge of how things work just doesn't allow for such a thing. This is your filter.  ….”
