“… 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. …”

KPK to Investigate Indonesian State Energy Bribe Case

The Corruption Eradication Commission on Tuesday formally requested legal documents from a British court in which chemical company Innospec Ltd. last week pleaded guilty to bribing former senior executives at Indonesia’s state-owned oil and gas company PT Pertamina and a former Energy Ministry official.

Haryono Umar, deputy chairman of the commission, also known as the KPK, said the commission had sent a letter to Southwark Crown Court on Tuesday officially requesting the documents, which would be used as “preliminary evidence” in an investigation of the officials allegedly involved in the case.

“The documents will become a lead for us to conduct our own investigation. We want to see what pieces of evidence have been obtained by the court,” he said.

Hikmahanto Juwana, an expert on international law, said the court documents would have no legal standing in Indonesia but could prove important in the fight against corruption.

“The KPK could use them to construct a solid case to begin its own investigation,” Hikmahanto told the Jakarta Globe.

However, he said the KPK would have to re-examine witnesses, including officials from Innospec, the British arm of the US chemicals firm.

“We have our own code of criminal procedures and law. So testimony made to British law enforcement officials does not have any legal standing in Indonesia,” he said.

Haryono said the KPK could summon Innospec officials to testify in Indonesia with the help of British officials.

“This will be decided once we have obtained the necessary documents,” he said.

According to court documents, between February 2002 and December 2006 Innospec 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.

The Indonesian officials 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.

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

Former Energy Minister Purnomo Yusgiantoro on Monday sought to distance himself from the case, which occurred on his watch. Purnomo was energy minister from 2001 to 2009 before taking over as defense minister.

He said the decision to delay a ban on leaded fuel until 2006 was taken to save money and not because senior decision makers had been bribed.

Also on Monday, BPMigas head Raden Priyono sought to distance the regulator from the accusations, saying the agency is only responsible for the upstream sector, while the use of leaded fuel was a downstream issue.

“It was more related to the directorate general of oil and gas at the Energy Ministry,” Raden said. “It was only because Rahmat was head of BPMigas after he headed the directorate that our name was mentioned.”

Rahmat rejected allegations of wrongdoing 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.
