… 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. … “

Web 'blackout' in Singapore to protest new online rules

SINGAPORE — Singaporean bloggers blacked out their homepages Thursday to protest new licensing rules for news websites they say will muzzle freedom of expression.

Some 134 participants, including individual bloggers and community-based blogs, replaced their homepages with black screens featuring the words "#FreeMyInternet", as well as the time and venue of a rally to be held Saturday. The 24-hour blackout was to last until midnight.

The protest comes after surprise regulations came into force on June 1 requiring news websites -- including one operated by US-based Yahoo! -- to obtain licences from the city-state's official media regulator.

"This is not just a movement by socio-political blogs. The participating websites are from all genres from lifestyle and food, to technology," said Choo Zheng Xi, a spokesman for the "Free My Internet" group that organised the protest.

"The diversity reflects an awareness that the new regulations can affect anyone because it has been framed so widely," added Choo, the co-founder of popular political website The Online Citizen.

A rally will be held Saturday at a designated free-speech area, where police permits are not required.

Volunteer-run blogs focusing on social and political issues including poverty and immigration have gained popularity as an alternative source of news and opinion in Singapore, where the mainstream media is widely seen as pro-government.

Singapore's media regulator, the Media Development Authority (MDA), and government leaders have sought to allay fears over the past week that the new rules were aimed at the feisty blogging community, pointing out that blogs were not considered news portals.

Minister for Communications and Information Yaacob Ibrahim on Tuesday dismissed claims by bloggers that the new rules would impinge on Internet freedom.

"I think the best way for people to see, after the licences are issued, is whether the activists are indeed limited in their public discourse," he told local media.

"I hope that the activists who are today making this far-fetched claim will be honest enough to admit it when the time comes."

Reuben Wong, an associate professor of political science at the National University of Singapore, said the government had not done enough consultation before announcing the rules.

"My sense is that there is a great deal of suspicion because Singapore is the first to introduce such licencing, and because it has always been on the cutting edge of social and media control," he told AFP.

"Singapore already does badly on international measures of media freedom, these types of measures are only going to make it worse".

Bloggers participating in the Internet blackout insisted that the broad power of the new rules were indicative of the government's intentions to require blogs to seek licensing in the future as well.

The new rules stipulate that websites which have at least 50,000 unique visitors from Singapore every month and publish at least one local news article per week over a period of two months must obtain an annual licence.

"Although the government would say that my fears are 'far-fetched' and that I am over-reacting, I'm not happy to 'wait and see'," Kirsten Han, a socio-political blogger, told AFP.

"I don't want to leave it up to trust that they won't make use of the catch-all definitions to extend the licencing regime to other websites and blogs in the future," she said.
