As we start 2009 there are a lot of changes taking place, both in the world in general, and in my personal life.

On a global scale, we have the financial crisis, which I admit I don’t really understand. It just seems to me so many have been living on credit and other unearned income, that it was bound to happen sooner or later. It is quite obvious that there comes a point when the numbers living on unearned income of any kind becomes quite untenable, and money becomes devalued and debts unrecoverable, leading to economic collapse.

There is now a new administration with a new President in the United States, and people have high hopes that the Barack Obama era will be much better than the disastrous Bush era which preceded it. Already he has stopped the unfair trials of Guantanamo Bay inmates, and intends to close the prison camp down.

The situation in occupied Palestine never improves much, and just demonstrates how one war leads to another. Israel was only established (on stolen Palestinian land) in the aftermath of World War II, largely due to the guilt of the Axis and Allied powers. The Axis for the Holocaust of course, and the Allies for refusing to take in more refugees.

The reasons for establishing the state of Israel in the Middle East were illogical in the extreme. Surely it should have been foreseen that stealing land from the Palestinians who had lived there for centuries would make foreign Jewish settlers living on the occupied lands far less safe than they would be almost anywhere else in the world?

As to the Jewish ‘right of return’ to the so-called Promised Land where they lived many centuries ago, this is plain nonsense.

Diana, former Princess of Wales, is interviewed on a New York radio station, as is her voice channel Andrew Russell-Davis. Coming on top of a TV interview elsewhere, other radio interviews and an interview in a film to be released probably later this year, the Diana phenomenum is starting to break through the silence in the world’s media and reach more and more people, along with many other channeled messages and enlightenment from the world of Spirit.

Listen to the broadcast interview yourself via this link. The broadcast starts with pop music, but you can fast forward several minutes into the broadcast till you come to the interview itself, which is most interesting.

Diana herself sent me the following comments in reply to an email in which I praised the broadcast:

Hello Tony,

There’s a lot of unwarranted optimism every December 31st that the New Year is going to be better than the last, or in my case, the last 63. Why should it be? We hope the world is gradually getting better, but sometimes see little evidence of this. Perhaps, as Lenin said, it’s a case of ‘two steps forward, one step back’, i.e. progress is very gradual indeed, with constant set-backs.

So ‘Happy New Year’ seems a particularly silly phrase to me. As if we’re all going to go round for the next 365 days with a stupid grin on our faces, nobody is going to get ill or die, there are going to be no famines, wars, murders or natural disasters. The fact is, of course, that 2009 will be much the same as 2008 or any other year.
