“… 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. …”

Desperate for Tax Money, Indonesia Ready to Grant Criminals Amnesty

Jakarta. Indonesia plans to let corruptors, tax evaders, and forest and mining illegal poachers to put their money in government bonds, in a move that would reprieve criminals of their past crimes and provide government with additional revenue.

“We have reasons to study and throw this idea to the public. We have very limited data of Indonesians’ possessions and wealth abroad,” said Mekar Satria Utama, director of counseling, service and public relations with the director general of tax at the Finance Ministry on Friday.

“We heard there are 3,000 to 4,000 trillion rupiah [of Indonesians’ assets] in Singapore. That’s the potential,” Mekar said.

The tax directorate general said last week that the government is preparing a bill that will grant amnesty to criminals — except drugs offenders and terrorists — as long as they agree to bring in their ill-gotten money to Indonesia under the government’s terms and conditions. The government is targeting to complete the bill by October.

Mekar said the state plans to offer a remission for crimes such as corruption, money laundry, illegal logging and illegal mining. Still, those offenders must pay bail of 10 percent to 15 percent of the value of their crime to the government. The offenders must shift some of their “investment portfolios and cash” into government bonds with maturities of five to 10 years, said Mekar.

The government had launched similiar tax remission programs in 1984 and 2004 but failed to attract any interests from offenders because they were not backed with a law that offered amnesty.

Tax experts see the government’s policy as a “paradox” and a “bad idea” as it would reduce taxpayers’ compliance in the future.

“It is such a controversy. It’s not fair for those who have been compliant [with the law]. When the policy is implemented, they will most likely become less obedient,” said Setyo Budiantoro, the director of Prakarsa, an economic policy research center.

Setyo encourages the government to engage more in country-to-country tax reporting and automatic information exchange.

“We need to improve taxpayer compliance first, then we deal with amnesty,” he said.

The government has waived penalties for five years on back taxes that tax payers must comply with by the end of this year, as part of efforts to boost revenue from taxes this year in order to fund ambitious development projects.

President Joko Widodo’s administration is targeting a tax-to-GDP ratio of 16 percent, up from 12 percent in 2013. Still, only 4 million Indonesians from the 250 million current population pay tax. Tax revenues — excluding revenue from customs — in the first quarter of 2015 reached Rp 198 trillion ($15 billion), compared to Rp 1,294 trillion for a full-year target.
