“… 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. …”

Former Indonesian Energy Bosses Named in Bribery Case

Jakarta Globe, Reva Sasistiya, March 26, 2010

Pertamina's former director of refining and former vice president are among those accused.

Highlighting corruption in Indonesia’s oil and gas sector, former senior executives at state-owned oil and gas company PT Pertamina and the former director of oil and gas at the Energy Ministry have been implicated in a bribery case, according to documents from a British court.

On Thursday, Innospec Ltd., the British arm of international chemicals company Innospec Inc., pleaded guilty to bribing Indonesian executives and officials in Britain’s Southwark Crown Court.

The Indonesians implicated in the case, according to the British court documents, are: Rahmat Sudibyo, director general of oil and gas at the Energy Ministry in 2001-02 and head of upstream oil and gas regulator BPMigas from 2002-04; Suroso Atmomartoyo, Pertamina’s director of refining from 2004-08; and Mistiko Saleh, Pertamina’s vice president from 2004-06.

Transparency International Indonesia brought the case to the attention of local media on Friday, calling a press conference and circulating copies of the British court documents.

TII secretary general Teten Masduki said he had sent a letter to Pertamina president director Karen Agustiawan urging her to report the case to the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). Teten said he had also urged BPMigas to do the same to help eliminate corruption in the oil and gas sector.

The British court ruled that between February 2002 and December 2006, Innospec Ltd. paid bribes to ensure that its lead-based fuel additive, tetraethyl lead (TEL), was chosen for purchase over other unleaded alternatives. An Indonesia government regulation banning the use of TEL was issued in 1999 but did not take effect until 2006.

According to court documents, the bribes were paid from $17.48 million in commissions that Innospec paid its local agent, PT Soegih Interjaya.

Rahmat rejected the allegation when contacted by the Jakarta Globe on Friday, saying he had never been involved in the purchase of TEL from Innospec.

Suroso also denied any involvement in bribery.

“I was the one who ordered that we stop purchasing TEL from Innospec in 2006, so clearly I was not involved in the case,” he said.

Firdaus Ilyas, of Indonesia Corruption Watch, said the case was only the tip of the iceberg in terms of corruption in the country’s oil and gas sector.

“That is why it needs to be further investigated quickly by the KPK,” Firdaus said.

Teten said that if Pertamina failed to report the case to the KPK, TII planned to launch cases against the implicated executives and officials in domestic courts.

Pertamina spokesman Basuki Trikora Putra said on Friday that the company still needed time to study the case before deciding what action it might take.
