… 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. … “

Japan loans scandal deepens as bank admits yakuza loans

Tokyo — A loans-to-mobsters scandal gripping Japan's banking sector has widened after major lender Shinsei Bank admitted doing business with organised crime figures.

The country's finance minister on Friday lauded Shinsei after it admitted a day earlier that one of its subsidiaries made more than a dozen loans to the notorious gangsters, known as yakuza.

The criminal syndicates are involved in activities ranging from prostitution and drugs to extortion and white-collar crime.

"Our internal controls were not strict enough," Shinsei President Shigeki Toma told reporters in Tokyo on Thursday.

Shinsei also admitted to opening accounts for what it called "anti-social forces", a common euphemism for gangsters.

The revelation comes days after Japan's financial watchdog said it would probe the country's top three banks following a scandal that has made headlines for weeks, and reportedly sparked a police investigation into corporate Japan ties with organised crime.

Authorities have long battled to keep gangsters from infiltrating Japan's corporate sector amid fears of mob involvement in stock trading and the real estate sector, among other legitimate activities.

In 2007, regulators penalised a unit of Mitsubishi UFJ, the country's biggest lender, for doing business with organised crime.

The Financial Services Agency (FSA) said this week it would look at Mizuho Financial Group's business dealings as well as rivals Mitsubishi UFJ and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp., without disclosing further details.

Mizuho has been under fire since it emerged in September that it processed hundreds of loans worth about $2 million for mob members.

News of the FSA's latest probe came a day after a panel of lawyers hired by Mizuho said bank executives knew it was doing business with gangsters, but failed to stop the practice.

The lender said Monday that 54 former and current executives would be punished, including Mizuho Bank chairman Takashi Tsukamoto. He would step down from his post but stay on as head of the parent company.

Mizuho Financial Group chief executive Yasuhiro Sato -- who has acknowledged he was in "a position to be aware of" the loans but refused to quit -- will work without pay for six months.

On Friday, Japan's finance minister Taro Aso called Shinsei's admission "sensible", days after he slammed the Mizuho transactions as a "huge problem".

He criticised Mizuho's initial -- and incorrect -- claims that executives knew nothing about the shady loans, saying it was "the worst thing a bank can do".

Japan's finance chief also took aim at regulators, saying that "we have to improve what we are supposed to be doing". His comments were in response to questions about the watchdog's handling of the high-profile case.

The government would consider additional punishment for Mizuho as regulators probe its shady loans, Aso said Friday.

The yakuza gangs, which themselves are not illegal, have historically been tolerated by the authorities, although there are periodic clampdowns on some of their less savoury activities.

Shinsei's Tokyo-listed shares closed down 0.87 percent to 227 yen.
