“… 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. …”

Corruption Causes Poverty and Hunger In East Nusa Tenggara, Claim Activists

Jakarta Globe, Nivell Rayda, May 09, 2010

Rampant corruption is the root cause of most poverty, hunger and suffering in East Nusa Tenggara, say activists.

During a discussion at the Indonesia Corruption Watch office in Jakarta on Sunday, Indonesia Forum for Development chairman Don K Murat blamed public officials and law enforcement agencies for the high levels of disease and malnutrition in the province.

“NTT [East Nusa Tenggara] used to be one of the biggest producers of cattle and meat in the country. But farmers chose to grow crops rather than have their cattle stolen at night and extorted by rogue police officers during the day,” Don said.

But the cattle acted like an emergency bank account for farmers who would sell their livestock during droughts, he said.

In June last year, the East Nusa Tenggara health agency reported that more than 12,600 children under 5 years old were malnourished and at least 25 youngsters had died from malnutrition.

It also said the province’s infant mortality rate was 31 in 1,000, with hundreds dying each year from health problems, such as malaria, malnutrition, tuberculosis, respiratory infections and dehydration.

The Health Ministry blames lack of personal hygiene and lifestyle for the high infant mortality rate while the Ministry of Agriculture blames climate change for drought and malnutrition.

Lerry Mboeik, a member of the Regional Representatives Council (DPD) from East Nusa Tenggara, said that the government had done little to change the situation.

“Instead of focusing on famine prevention and establishing a climate and weather monitoring station, the local government spent money on buying new Toyota Fortuners,” she said.

Roy Salam, a researcher at the Indonesian Budget Center, said that more than half, 52 percent, of the province’s money is spent on public officials salaries and expenses. “Only 18.4 percent is dedicated to economic development and job creation. While only 5.4 percent is spent on social aid,” he said.

Roy cited a 2008 report by the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) which found that out of 1,804 expenses, 1,568 were dubbed “irregular” and some have indications of corruption.

According to a 2009 survey by Transparency International Indonesia, East Nusa Tenggara is listed as the most corrupt province in the country.

Musician Glenn Fredly, who started a foundation the “Green Music Foundation” to improve people’s welfare in NTT, urged the government to pay more attention to the east.

“Eastern provinces are often neglected by the central government. People in the region have less access to education and health than their brothers and sisters in the western provinces,” he said.
