“… 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. …”

Mulyani calls on companies to help root out smuggling 'mafia'

The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Mon, 12/22/2008 11:06 AM

Acting Coordinating Minister for the Economy Sri Mulyani Indrawati has urged businesses to help the government root out smuggling, which is supported by a "mafia" teaming up with officials.

Businesses must also take part in combating illegal practices at ports that have smoothed the way for smuggling, she said.

Although numerous attempts have been made to reform the excise and customs office, she said business lobby group Kadin should help out.

"I know that some of my law enforcers are still dodgy because they get paid by businesses despite the reforms I've made," Mulyani told Kadin members Sunday.

"If you are a whistle-blower and really sincere, please help me combat the mafia (at ports) as our common enemy. If not, you too are my common enemy."

Mulyani said smuggling was one of the government's main concerns, particularly since export-oriented countries had lost their markets in the United States and the European Union because of the global economic downturn.

As a consequence, those manufacturing countries were looking to benefit from emerging markets, including Indonesia, by any means, including smuggling, to keep their production capacity intact, she added.

"Threats are coming from China and Vietnam because they see Indonesia, with its 5 percent economic growth, as the right place to throw their products after losing their export markets," she said.

Kadin chairman Mohamad Suleman Hidayat said he acknowledged some businesspeople acted illegally and would "entirely support" the battle against smugglers.

"There must be one or two illegal firms among thousands, and there must also be customs and excise officials that play dirty," he said on the sidelines of the national meeting.

Indonesian Employers Association (Apindo) chairman Sofjan Wanandi has said that some of the 800 to 1,000 electronics-importing firms that had applied for import licenses from the Trade Ministry were allegedly smuggling in their products.

Kadin's recommendations

Keep the economy stable by ensuring the stability of the rupiah exchange rate, improving interbank transactions and providing sufficient liquidity to the financial sector.
Provide clear measures for preventing systemic threats to the financial sector, with mechanisms in place that can be implemented promptly if there is a liquidity problem in the banking sector.
Accelerate and expand the availability of stimulus packages, including for labor-intensive sectors and small and medium businesses. This includes speeding up tax refunds.
Speed up fiscal expansion, particularly for health, education and infrastructure.
Implement policies on the agribusiness, food and energy sectors with concerted efforts between central government agencies and those of local administrations.
Review the tax structure, including tax cuts and exemptions for certain products to help boost local demand.
Resolve problems in the construction of infrastructure and develop the creative industries.
Resolve problems of inefficiency in logistics chains, particularly in ports, and illegal fees and other costs imposed by local administrations.
Protect local industries and local markets from smuggling based on the rules of the World Trade Organization. Aggressively promote Indonesia as an attractive place for investment.
