“… 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 Great Escape" - Mar 11, 2017 (Kryon Channelling by Lee Carroll)

“… 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. … “

Warren Buffett attacks US Super PACS as billionaire gets political

Warren Buffett has attacked rules that allow US companies and wealthy individuals to make unlimited and sometimes anonymous contributions to election campaigns, arguing the US has "enough of a push to plutocracy" already.

The 81-year old billionaire was referring to super political action committees, or Super PACS, which have been allowed to collect unlimited contributions from companies, individuals and unions since a ruling by the US Supreme Court in 2010.

"I think the whole idea of Super PACS is wrong," Mr Buffett, a Democrat, told shareholders over the weekend at the annual meeting of his company, Berkshire Hathaway, in Omaha, Nebraska.

"The idea that I should toss $10m (£6.2m) into some Super PAC that will spend its time misleading people about its opponent - I don't want to see democracy going in that direction," he said.

Those supporting Mr Obama and backers of Mitt Romney, his likely Republican rival in November's election, are both raising money for Super PACS that can spend money on television advertising, for instance, but cannot contribute directly to a candidate's campaign.

Critics of Super PACS say they allow US corporations and wealthy individuals to wield too much influence over the political process.

Despite his attack on Super PACS, Mr Buffett's name is set to echo throughout the election campaign because of a rule named after him calling for all Americans earning more than $1m in annual income to pay higher taxes.

President Obama is aggressively campaigning for the rule at a time when questions of income inequality and how to cut the country's deficit are likely to be central to the election. The Senate last month voted against the bill, which has been dubbed by Republicans as a political stunt and unlikely to raise much revenue.

Mr Buffett was forced to defend the rule at the meeting after one shareholder said that the billionaire's support for higher taxes was stopping some potential investors from buying shares in Berkshire.

Mr Buffett said: "When we are asking for shared sacrifice from the American people, I would at least make sure that the people with these huge incomes get taxed at a rate that is commensurate with the rate they got taxed at not long ago."

Berkshire shareholders who spoke to The Daily Telegraph were divided over whether Mr Buffett should be taking such a high-profile position on the politically sensitive question of tax.

"I don't think it helps my ownership of Berkshire at all," said one, who had travelled from Illinois.

Edmund Lo, who has been a Berkshire shareholder for eight years, said that Mr Buffett's call is "only the ethical thing to do. If I said something like that it would not carry weight, but when he speaks people listen."
