“… 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. …”

Gayus ‘Bribed by Bakrie Firms’

The National Police plan to summon a number of companies owned by business tycoon and political heavyweight Aburizal Bakrie after former tax official Gayus Tambunan claimed to have received bribes from them, an official said on Thursday.

“It’s what he confessed, and of course we would not only rely on one single confession,” National Police chief of detectives Comr. Gen. Ito Sumardi said.

Gayus, who is being investigated for corruption and money-laundering, reportedly told police that several companies linked to Aburizal, the head of the Golkar Party, had bribed him to help them deal with their tax affairs.

“We will seek information from those accused by Gayus,” Ito said, although he declined to identify the Bakrie companies in question. He also declined to provide details on when police planned to question the Bakrie company representatives.

According to documents obtained by the Jakarta Globe, Gayus had been responsible for the tax cases of 40 companies, including three major mining firms that were part of the Bakrie empire.

Ito said he had already filed a request with the new minister of finance, Agus Martowardojo, to seize tax documents related to the case.

The announcement is the latest twist in the tax-evasion saga that Bakrie firms have been entangled with.

Last month, the Supreme Court upheld a December 2009 ruling by the Tax Tribunal, which found that the tax office did not have sufficient evidence to upgrade its probe of PT Kaltim Prima Coal, a subsidiary of the Bakrie Group’s PT Bumi Resources, to a full investigation.

The Supreme Court, however, ruled that the office could still continue its probe into the company, which is alleged to have evaded Rp 1.5 trillion ($163.5 million) in taxes.

Bakrie family spokesman Lalu Mara Satriawangsa could not be immediately reached for comment but was quoted by online news portal Detik.com rejecting Gayus’s allegations, saying that Bumi Resources and its subsidiaries, including KPC, were all public companies and used public tax consultants.

As such, the companies did not deal with Gayus, he said. He also pointed out that as of 2004, Aburizal was no longer handling Bakrie businesses.

Teten Masduki, secretary general of Transparency Inter national Indonesia, said the pressure was now on the tax office to start fresh investigations into the Bakrie tax allegations.

“The taxation office should evaluate the handling of these cases and open a new investigation,” he told the Globe. “If the case has been stopped because of the Tax Tribunal’s ruling, then the government can challenge its decision in light of new evidence from Gayus’s testimony.”

Indonesia Corruption Watch said the government’s priority should be the investigation into the alleged tax evasion by KPC.

“The government should expedite the investigation into KPC because there are still opportunities to prosecute the case,” said Emerson Yuntho, ICW’s deputy chairman.

He added that there should also be a probe into the circumstances surrounding the Tax Tribunal’s decision to halt the investigation.

By law, the tribunal only has the authority to hear cases at prosecution, Emerson said. "The tribunal had exceeded its authority by interfering with the investigation process,” he claimed.
