… 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. …

“… The Fall of Many - Seen It Yet?

You are going to see more and more personal secrets being revealed about persons in high places of popularity or government. It will seem like an epidemic of non-integrity! But what is happening is exactly what we have been teaching. The new energy has light that will expose the darkness of things that are not commensurate with integrity. They have always been there, and they were kept from being seen by many who keep secrets in the dark. Seen the change yet?

In order to get to a more stable future, you will have to go through gyrations of dark and light. What this means is that the dark is going to be revealed and push back at you. It will eventually lose. We told you this. That's what you're here for is to help those around you who don't see an escape from the past. They didn't get their nuclear war, but everything else is going into the dumper anyway. … “

Nick Clegg pledges action against Britain's 'crony capitalism'

Deputy prime minister promises clampdown on company tax avoidance and 'abuse' of system by wealthy elites

Nick Clegg has used his first intervention of the new year to map out a crackdown on "crony capitalism", vowing to take action against company taxavoidance, excessive executive pay and irresponsible capitalism.

The deputy prime minister said that millions of voters were "quite rightly angered" by the fact that a "wealthy elite of large businesses" was using an army of accountants to get out of paying a fair share of tax.

"They basically see paying tax as an optional extra, they pick and choose the taxes you pay. There should be a general rule that you can't play the system, you can't abuse the system."

He hailed a report commissioned by the Treasury from Graham Aaronson QC and published in November, which backs the introduction of a narrowly focused but general tax avoidance rule on the main direct taxes – income, capital gains, corporation and petroleum revenue taxes – as well as national insurance contributions.

Clegg said: "I very much hope – and I'm not going to write George Osborne's budget – we can make progress on that in the budget. We have got to make sure the tax system is fair."

Clegg made his remark in the knowledge that the Treasury was willing to press ahead in this area.

A Commons report last month criticised "specific and systemic" failures at Revenue and Customs that allowed big companies to avoid paying what was owed. David Hartnett, the agency's top official, is stepping down this month.

Clegg also promised action on executive pay: "It's Liberal Democrats who've led the debate on clamping down on bankers' bonuses and we must be just as tough this year in the bonus season that's coming up, as we were last year, if not more so."

He added that he was determined to clamp down on "crony" or "irresponsible" capitalism, phrases coined by the Conservative MP Jesse Norman.

The MP for Hereford and South Herefordshire, sees crony capitalism as a threat when there is insufficient competition, a factor leading to businesses becoming detached from the public interest.

Options under consideration include giving shareholders a binding vote on pay, and putting employees on company remuneration committees.

Shareholders in the UK have been entitled to an advisory vote on directors' remuneration reports since 2002. But the level of dissent against the reports in FTSE350 companies remains low – it stood at about 5-6% during the first four years after the vote was introduced.

It is estimated that 40% of shares are now held overseas, raising doubts as to whether shareholders will ever see the issue as a priority.

The business secretary, Vince Cable, would also like to see bonuses deferred for up to three years to ensure that improved performance is genuine.

While Cable has ruled out setting limits on compensation, he is also looking at stiffening reporting requirements for listed companies, including requiring publication of how much each board member receives.

The CBI has opposed a binding shareholder vote and a worker on boards. It stated: "We believe remuneration committees should be bolstered by widening the pool of non-executive directors that serve on them, and giving them greater scope to reduce or withhold rewards in cases of poor performance."

The CBI has said remuneration schemes should avoid complexity. A single aggregate figure, that includes share options and bonuses, for individual directors' pay, should be included in annual reports.
