“… 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. … “

Barclays announces £38.5m bonuses on budget day

Bank awards its investment bank chief Rich Ricci £17.5m of shares – which he immediately cashes in - and chief executive Antony Jenkins £5.3m shares

Barclays has been accused of trying to "bury bad news" by announcing it has given its top nine bankers bonuses worth £38.5m while the City is distracted by the budget.

The bank, which promised it was "changing" in the wake of the Libor rate-rigging scandal, awarded the head of its investment banking division, Rich Ricci, £17.5m worth of shares. He immediately cashed in all of the shares.

Barclays chief executive Antony Jenkins was awarded 1.8m shares worth £5.3m. He cashed in half of the shares.

Last month Barclays said Jenkins and Ricci would not be collecting a bonus this year after the bank was fined £290m over the Libor rate-rigging scandal.

The awards announced on Wednesday were granted under the company's long-term share incentive plan.

Barclays refused to respond to claims that it attempted to "bury" the massive bonuses by announcing them on budget day.

Sarah Wilson, chief executive of corporate governance consultancy Manifest, said: "They know everyone is going to be very busy, so releasing the information today is an interesting tactic. There's no two ways of looking at it - they would have known the budget is today."

She warned Barclays that its tactic was likely to misfire. "They can't hide it from you thinking you're going to be too busy writing about the budget to notice it."

A person close to the company said the date of the release had been planned long before the budget. George Osborne set today as budget day on 11 December. The person close to Barclays said the bank only realised its bonuses release would clash with the budget "within the last few days".

Wilson said corporate governance rules required Barclays to make the release at least 21 days before its annual meeting on 25 April.

"They could have released it yesterday, they could've done it tomorrow. They could have done it last week," she said. "They didn't have to do it today."

John Hunter, a policy member of the UK shareholder association, which aims to protect the rights of private shareholders, said Barclays' decision to release the bonus figures on Wednesday was "sneaky".

"They are trying to bury bad news," he said. "It is a standard PR tactic. It is an attempt to get a story about their massive bonuses off the front pages – you should make a greater effort to make sure the public know about it.

"Society's first reaction is that bankers are a bunch of sleazeballs, and this makes them look even sleazier."
