… 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. … “

Bob Diamond would have known about Libor rigging, claims whistleblower

Former senior Barclays employee says bank executives would have been told about interest rate fixing concerns in 2008

A former senior Barclays employee has claimed that the bank's ex-chief executive Bob Diamond would have known that his traders were involved in the interest rate rigging scandal.

The whistleblower's accusation comes after the bank announced on Friday that it had begun a formal investigation into attempts to fix Libor, meaning that criminal charges could be brought against implicated traders.

The banker alleged that Barclays executives would have been informed about Libor concerns in 2008, adding that staff knew they faced the sack if they failed to inform senior managers of untoward behaviour.

Speaking anonymously to the Independent, the banker said: "Libor fixing was escalated by several people up to their directors. They would then have escalated it up the line because at Barclays if you don't escalate, and it is found out that you haven't, it is grounds for disciplinary action. You will be dismissed."

The director of the Serious Fraud Office, David Green, said on Friday that he had "decided to formally accept the Libor matter for investigation" after reviewing the information provided by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) which last week fined Barclays £290m for attempting to manipulate the price of Libor, the London interbank offered rate.

The fine related to events that took place between 2005 and 2009 when the bank was found to have manipulated the prices it submitted to help its own traders and rival banks' traders. Part of the fine also related to attempts by the bank to lower its Libor submissions during the 2008 banking crisis to reduce the chance that it was regarded as being in financial difficulty – which it was not.

The investigation is understood to be into the wider market and not just Barclays.

On the day the Barclays fine was announced Tracey McDermott, the acting director of enforcement and financial crime at the FSA, said that a "number of other significant cross-border investigations in this area" were under way involving other banks. "The action against Barclays should leave firms in no doubt about the serious consequences of this type of failure," she said.

At this week's Treasury select committee, Diamond had said: "I understand that there will be follow-up criminal investigations on certain individuals. It's not up to us, but we are certainly not going to stand in the way of it".

The Barclays chairman, Marcus Agius, is due to appear before MPs on Tuesday.

Meanwhile the political row over the Libor-rigging scandal looks set to be reignited next week with the chancellor, George Osborne, reportedly preparing to oppose a European Union crackdown on bankers' bonuses.

Osborne is due to attend a finance ministers' meeting on Tuesday at which he is expected to argue against European proposals for a 1:1 bonus-to-pay ratio intended to curb excessive City pay deals, according to the Financial Times.

In a Commons debate on Thursday, Osborne traded insults with Labour's shadow chancellor, Ed Balls, after the chancellor claimed in an interview with the Spectator that people working with Gordon Brown under the last Labour government were "clearly involved" in the Libor scandal. Osborne claimed the "Brown circle" included Balls and that he had "questions to answer".

Balls demanded Osborne provide evidence of his accusation or retract it and apologise. Balls said the allegation was "utterly false".
