“… 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. …”

Indonesia Lifts Import Duty on Materials for Key Industries

In a bid to boost investment and increase global competitiveness, the government on Wednesday scrapped the 5 percent import duty normally imposed on machinery and raw materials for seven vital service industries.

The Ministry of Finance said the regulation would take effect on Dec. 16 and would remain valid for two years before being re-evaluated.

The regulation covers transportation, telecommunications, public health, tourism and culture, as well as supporting services for mining, construction and ports and harbors.

Anggito Abimanyu, the Finance Ministry’s head of fiscal policy, said a similar tax break had been given to the manufacturing industry as part of the government’s Rp 73.3 trillion ($7.9 billion) fiscal stimulus package this year.

It was intended to help domestic companies compete in the global market and to attract investment.

“We decided to scrap the import duties for manufacturing industries to encourage domestic industries to open new plants or businesses,” Anggito said.

Jeffrey Mulyono, the head of the coal and geothermal commission at the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin), said he welcomed the move.

“The existence of these [seven service industries] should be supported and [they should] have their taxes lowered to the lowest level possible, which will be beneficial for the local producers as well,” Jeffrey said.

“The Finance Ministry has finally fulfilled the wishes of local businesses by doing this,” Jeffrey added.

However, Erwin Aksa, the chairman of the Indonesian Young Entrepreneurs Association (Hipmi), said the removal of the import duty would not greatly benefit domestic industries until the government was able to provide sufficient basic infrastructure, especially power.

“As good as it is, the incentive will not immediately increase investment because what we really need now is electricity to be available and reliable,” Erwin said, referring to the power outages which have plagued the Great Jakarta area over the past two months.

Companies wishing to take advantage of the reduced import duty must contact the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM).
