“… 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. …”

Government Eyes 2nd Stimulus Plan

The Jakarta Globe, Dion Bisara & Muhamad Al Azhari, March 18, 2009

The government is considering launching a second fiscal stimulus package as a greater contraction of the global economy is expected to hurt Indonesia’s exports badly, a senior government official said on Tuesday.

The government has set March 18 as the date for the first disbursement of some Rp 12.2 trillion ($1.02 billion) in infrastructure funds as part of the Rp 73.3 trillion fiscal stimulus package endorsed by the House of Representatives on Feb. 24. The government hopes the stimulus package will support household spending — the main driver of national growth — as a slowdown in exports due to faltering global demand is expected to seriously hurt the economy.

But Chatib Basri, a senior advisor to the finance minister, said the initial stimulus package assumed global growth of 2.2 percent. It was now predicted to slow to 0.5 to 1.5 percent, and therefore the stimulus figure needed to be adjusted, he said.

“We will evaluate the appropriateness of the stimulus package in the first quarter,” Chatib said, adding that the country’s exports could no longer support growth as the global economy contracted and capital outflow decreased investment.

“The only hope is on private consumption and government spending. If consumption can grow by 4.5 percent, which usually grows by 5 percent, and government spending grows by 14 percent, we will see growth of 3.6 percent this year. That’s why the stimulus is important,” Chatib said.

Any adjustment to the stimulus figure was not likely to be made until May, he added, refusing to elaborate further.

Late on Monday, Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati said that Indonesia would likely add to its stimulus package, in line with the G-20’s suggestion that country’s stimulus packages should be at least 2 percent of gross domestic product for at least two years, 2009 and 2010.

Indonesia’s total fiscal stimulus package currently stands at 1.4 percent of GDP.

“If the initial stimulus package is not enough, we will add to it in the revised budget, or APBN-P,” Sri Mulyani said.

The final decision about whether to add funds to the package, the minister added, would also depend on political considerations. Indonesia will hold legislative elections on April 9 and presidential elections in July.

Indonesia’s exports declined from November until January as demand from international markets slowed. The Indonesian economy grew at a weaker-than-expected 5.2 percent in the fourth quarter from a year earlier, but fared better than its Asian neighbors such as Singapore and South Korea, whose economies actually contracted.
