“… 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. …”

SBY issues decree on maintaining rice self-sufficiency

Aditya Suharmoko, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Fri, 01/02/2009 10:29 AM

President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has issued a decree, effective from Jan. 1, 2009, raising the price the government pays to buy rice from local farmers in a bid to ensure national self-sufficiency amid a time of slowing economic activity and a global food crisis.

The presidential decree, issued on Dec. 24, stipulates the government will pay Rp 4,600 per kilogram to buy rice from national farmers, or a 7 percent increase from the current price. The national rice stockpile is controlled by the State Logistics Agency (Bulog).

Meanwhile, the price the government must pay for unhusked paddy (GKGP) increases 9.1 percent to Rp 2,400 per kilogram, and the price of husked paddy (GKG) by 7.2 percent to Rp 3,000 per kilogram.

The government will stabilize domestic rice prices by exporting and importing the grain, thus benefiting farmers and consumers.

Indonesia, Southeast Asia's largest economy, produced 38.6 million metric tons of milled rice in 2008, a 5.5 percent increase from 2007, enabling the country with 230 million people to meet national demand, which was 37 million tons last year.

Bulog's total rice stockpile stood at 1.4 million tons at the end of 2008.

Rice output may jump to 40 million tons this year, which would open the door for the country to export a maximum of 2 million tons, which would be the largest amount in 50 years.

The government plans to maintain national rice self-sufficiency this year by encouraging farmers to use certified paddy seeds and fertilizer, according to deputy to the Coordinating Minister for the Economy, Bayu Krisnamurthi.

Bayu said the government would continue disbursing rice to the poor in 2009.

"We'll provide 15 kilograms of rice over 12 months to 18.5 million poor households," he said.

The presidential decree also encourages investment in rice, but stipulates that owners of rice fields will remain under the supervision of the Investment Coordinating Board.

Bayu said investors should not be allowed to convert existing paddy fields.

Key points in the presidential regulation on rice policy:

Encourages use of certified top-quality rice seeds and inorganic or organic fertilizers.
Guarantees aid for farmers suffering losses during post harvest and controls the reduction of irrigation areas.
Facilitates the rehabilitation of land and water catchment areas.
New incentives for investment in rice.
New price for government to buy rice and paddy.
New policies on stockpiling and distributing subsidized rice for the poor, and on the government's control of its rice reserve to stabilize national rice prices, as well as a policy to prepare for emergency situations and disasters.
A policy to stabilize the domestic price of rice.
New export and import policy designed to protect farmers and buyers.
