“… 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. … “

US fast food staff protests over wages spread globally

BBC News, Kim Gittleson, BBC business reporter, New York, 15 May 2014

Organisers said protests were planned with fast food workers in
150 US cities and 33 countries

US fast food workers have joined counterparts in countries including Indonesia, France, and Brazil to stage a global walk-out in protest about wages and working conditions.

Organisers said they had planned 230 protests in 33 countries.

Fast food workers and labour organisers have been protesting at what they call "abusive employment practices" since late 2012.

They are demanding a "liveable" wage of $15 per hour in the US.

In a statement, the National Restaurant Association, which represents fast food business such as McDonalds and Burger King, said: "A dramatic increase to labor costs like the one proposed... is not the comprehensive solution to income inequality - it will only hurt business owners' ability to create entry level jobs."

Ongoing fight

Currently, the federally-mandated minimum wage in the US is $7.25 per hour, although 38 states have set higher floors.

US President Obama has pushed for a raise of the federal minimum wage to $10.10 per hour, but that move has been blocked by Congressional Republicans.

Meanwhile, in places like Seattle and Washington, labour organisers have tried to a different tactic, putting "liveable wage" legislation to a vote.

Two states- Hawaii and Minnesota - have also raised their minimum wage.

However, opponents of a minimum wage rise often cite a study by the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office estimating the law would result in the loss of about 500,000 jobs.

But the same study also anticipated that as many as 16 million poor workers would see a substantial pay rise.

'It's disgusting'

Outside a Domino's pizza chain in the middle of Manhattan, around 150 protests were gathered at midday.

Chanting "it makes no sense", they said they were there to protest about not just their low wages, but rising income inequality.

Shantel Walker has been working as a manager at a Papa John's pizza chain since 1999, and she currently makes $8.50 per hour.

She says that is not significantly more than the $7.25 she was getting just a few years earlier - and she insists it is certainly not enough to live on in Brooklyn, New York, where her monthly rent is $500.

"It's disgusting - sometimes I don't even bring home $10,000 a year and [some people] make $10,000 an hour," she told the BBC.

Omer Freckleton, a McDonald's employee, says he often has to
forego paying bills when his hours are cut

Omar Freckleton, a McDonald's employee, said he currently makes $8 per hour - not enough, he said, to support his daughter. However, when he asked for more work, his hours were instead cut.

"Sometimes you feel like you want to quit but you can't quit because you've got bills to pay," he said.

In a statement, McDonald's said: "McDonald's respects our employees' right to voice their opinions and to protest lawfully and peacefully."
