… 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. … “

IAAF orders life bans over Russia doping bribes

Paris (AFP) - IAAF judges on Thursday banned for life former Russia athletics chief Valentin Balakhnichev and a son of former world body president Lamine Diack over the blackmailing of athletes who failed doping tests.

The ethics commission also ordered a life ban against former Russian walking coach Alexei Melnikov and a five year suspension for former world body anti-doping doctor Gabriel Dolle.

The panel found that the four "conspired to extort what were in substance bribes from the athlete by acts of blackmail."

"Any lesser sanction would not meet the gravity of their offences," the commission added in announcing the bans.

"The life bans announced today could not send a stronger message that those who attempt to corrupt or subvert the sport of athletics will be brought to justice," said International Association of Athletics Federations president Sebastian Coe.

Papa Massata Diack, Balakhnichev and Melnikov also face fines of between $15,000-$25,000 (13,800-23,000 euros).

Papa Massata Diack and his father Lamine Diack, who stepped down as IAAF president in August, and Balakhnichev are all under investigation by French police over hundreds of thousands of dollars paid to cover up doping offences.

Lamine Diack is alleged to have received one million euros ($1.1 million) alone. His son acted as a marketing consultant to the IAAF until forced to stand down over the scandals.

The IAAF ethics commission looked into charges that Russian runner Liliya Shobukhova, who won the 2012 London Olympics women's marathon, paid more than $600,000 to have her doping violations covered up so she could compete at the Olympics.

Melnikov, former national long distance walkers coach, is said to have acted as an intermediary between athletes and Balakhnichev, who was also the IAAF treasurer, and Diack.

Dolle, who like Diack and his father comes from Senegal, played a smaller role in the coverup.

According to the testimony, some 300,000 euros ($325,000) was paid back to Shobukhova through a Singapore company Black Tidings in 2014 in a bid to obtain her silence over the bribes.

But Shobukhova turned whistleblower for the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) which has been investigating widespread doping in Russian support.

According to the IAAF report, Balakhnichev has given information that at least five other Russian athletes had given cash to cover up doping offences.

Balakhnichev alleged that he had been "blackmailed" by the IAAF and that the system was orchestrated by the world body president's son and Habib Cisse, a former lawyer for the president.

Russia has been suspended by the IAAF and now faces a race against time to be readmitted for the Rio de Janeiro Olympics in August.

Balakhnichev said the ban was a "clearly politicised decision".

"Certain forces are trying to increase the pressure on Russian sport by taking such a radical decision," he told Russia's state-run TASS news agency.

Russia's Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko told the R-Sport agency however that the "decision was expected and there is no sense in appealing".

Shobukhova is now serving a reduced ban for her doping failures. Her Olympic title has been stripped from her. At the peak of her career she was earning $1.5 million a year, the ethics commission report said.

"The (2014) repayment was to be a quid pro quo for her acceptance of sanction," the IAAF report said.

WADA is to release a new report on doping in athletics on January 14 which is expected to implicate new countries.

Coe said that the IAAF was still helping the French criminal investigation and WADA's independent commission.

The IAAF, which has faced accusations of taking a lax attitude to doping, said it was "angered" by the bribery case and insisted the four no longer have any link to the world body.

"The IAAF is reassured that the panel of the ethics board has seen no evidence implicating any other members of the IAAF Anti-Doping Department," it said in a statement.
