“… 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. …”

US, Indonesia Sign Investment Financing Agreement

The United States and Indonesia signed an agreement on Tuesday paving the way for increased US investment in Southeast Asia’s largest economy and the world’s fourth most populous country.

The agreement establishes a framework that “will allow a lot more capitol to be deployed in Indonesia when the US is ready” to take that step, Gita Wirjawan, Indonesia’s chief investment coordinator, said.

“This will be important. It signifies that the US view is rather different now in Indonesia,” Wirjawan said.

The new agreement updates a 1967 pact between the United States and Indonesia by adding direct loans, co-insurance and reinsurance to the products the Overseas Private Investment Corp (OPIC) can provide to support US company investment in Indonesia.

“Indonesia offers a large and dynamic market for US investment, which in turn will support Indonesia’s economic growth,” said Lawrence Spinelli, acting president of OPIC.

Indonesia had hoped to sign the agreement last month during a planned visit by President Barack Obama. But that trip was scrapped when Obama decided to stay in Washington to lobby for final passage of health care reform.

US companies now have about $18 billion worth of investment in the Muslim-majority country, with those funds heavily concentrated in the energy and mining sectors.

But Indonesian government actions have created problems for investors in both sectors in recent years.

Indonesia also maintains “significant and far-reaching foreign investment barriers” in many areas, including pharmaceuticals, telecommunications, health care, financial services, express delivery and education, according to the US Trade Representative’s office.

US Commerce Secretary Gary Locke, in a March speech, said “economic nationalism, regulatory uncertainty and unresolved investment disputes” caused U.S. companies to hesitate about doing business in Indonesia.

Wirjawan acknowledged past problems, but said Indonesia was taking steps to become more investor friendly.

“We’re not perfect, but we’ve fixed a lot of problems in the past five years,” he said.

President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono will soon sign a decree clarifying a confusing set of laws governing foreign investment and opening up priority sectors for American companies, such as the creative industry, he said.

“We’re opening up health care, which a number of American companies have been wanting to invest in ... We’re opening up the education sector. We’re opening the logistics sector.

That’s by virtue of a presidential decree,” he said.

Indonesia also plans substantial investment in infrastructure and power projects over the next five years that should create opportunities for U.S. companies willing to get into the market, he said.

Locke will lead a clean-energy trade mission to Indonesia in May and Obama’s visit to the country where he spent part of his youth has been rescheduled for later this year.

OPIC, over its 39-year history, has committed more than $2.1 billion in financing and political risk insurance to 110 projects in Indonesia.

Currently, OPIC is providing more than $94 million in support to six projects in Indonesia, in the energy, manufacturing and services sectors.
