“… 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. …”

EU launches debit cards for refugees in Turkey

Ankara (AFP) - The European Union on Monday launched a scheme worth almost 350 million euros providing mainly Syrian refugees in Turkey with pre-paid debit cards, the biggest project yet under a landmark deal between the bloc and Ankara.

EU Humanitarian Aid Commissioner Christos Stylianides, in Ankara for the start of the programme, said the debit cards will help give vulnerable refugees a "sense of normality" in their lives.

The refugees will be able to use the cards in shops or institutions to pay for food, education, housing and clothing or also to withdraw cash from ATMs.

Each card will be automatically topped up with 100 Turkish lira ($33.50) a month, giving people the chance to choose their own purchases.

Stylianides said the programme was an "unprecedented response" to an "unprecedented crisis".

"This (scheme) is, in our humanitarian field, a game-changer in the delivery of humanitarian aid. Refugees can choose what they spend money on."

Turkey is home to some three million refugees, most of them Syrian. The vast majority live in cities without direct support from non-governmental organisations and aid groups.

Supported with 348 million euros ($392 million) from Brussels and its member states, the scheme will be rolled out by Turkish Red Crescent and the UN World Food Programme supported by the Turkish authorities.

Applications will start in October for the scheme. Families who have children going to school will receive more cash. All refugees registered in Turkey, including Iraqis, are eligible to apply.

Stylianides suggested that the programme would also benefit Turks.

"The money will be spent in local shops, boosting local businesses and encouraging social cohesion between citizens and refugees."

The project is part of a six billion euro ($6.75 billion) deal struck in March between Brussels and Ankara to curb the migrant influx into Europe, which saw more than a million arrive in the EU last year.

There have been fears the deal could collapse with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan complaining that the promised money was not handed directly to Turkey.

In exchange for cutting the flow, Brussels also offered Turkey visa liberalisation for its citizens to visit EU countries in the Schengen area as well as accelerated membership talks.

But Ankara has threatened to withdraw from the agreement if Europe does not allow visa-free travel for Turks by next month, though the numbers coming to Europe have dropped significantly since March.

Indonesia, Kenya and Ghana to be removed from Dutch aid list

Indonesia, Kenya and Ghana are to be removed from the list of 15 countries where the Netherlands concentrates its aid efforts in 2020, aid minister Lilianne Ploumen has told parliament.

Three countries will be added to the list to replace them. They are likely to come from the Sahel region in Africa, which lies between the Sahara to the north and the Sudanese savanna, the minister said in her briefing.

The government’s policy is to focus on countries closer to Europe’s borders.

Over the past six years, the number of countries which benefit from Dutch aid efforts has been cut from 33 to 15.

In seven – Afghanistan, Burundi, Jemen, Mali, Palestine, Rwanda and South Sudan – the focus is on tacking poverty and boosting stability. In the other eight – Bangladesh, Benin, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Indonesia, Mozambique and Uganda – reducing poverty, and boosting jobs and private sector involvement are central.

Rwanda is to be moved from the category of poorest countries and will get more help with trade and investment, Ploumen said.

Jakarta. Former President Suharto's youngest son said his family will likely join the government's tax amnesty program.

"I haven't talked to [my family about it], but they should make the best use of this program," Hutomo Mandala Putra, better known as Tommy Suharto, told reporters on Thursday (15/09).

Tommy, who owns the Humpuss Group, symbolically handed over his tax report to Ken Dwijugiasteadi, director general for taxation at the Ministry of Finance. Usually, tax reports of big taxpayers are submitted to the head of the Directorate General of Taxes.

President Suharto's children are involved in various domestic and international businesses.

"I urge Indonesians to join this program without hesitation. I take this opportunity to make things easier for my future projects," Tommy said.

He declined to reveal the value of the assets he reported, or the amount of tax he paid. He said he reported stocks, account receivables and other assets, most of which are located abroad.

Tommy is currently involved in the property sector with his Mangkuluhur City office tower development.

The tax office hopes high-net-worth Indonesians will join the program soon as the deadline for the lowest tax rate is the end of this month.

Indonesian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) chairman Rosan P. Roeslani told the Jakarta Globe that many members of the business lobby will join the program next Tuesday.

Targeting Indonesian youth

Queen Máxima said the UN is committed to assist in fintech, or financial technology, innovations initiated by young Indonesians.

"The queen met with young entrepreneurs who have produced many fintech applications and software. She selected two of them to participate in financial development [projects] to accelerate fintech in Indonesia," Jokowi said.

The government has also instructed Indonesian financial institutions to support micro businesses development to encourage economic growth.

"I applaud the Indonesian government's decision to put financial inclusion as one of the Nawa Cita [Jokowi's seven development goals]," the queen said.

Queen Máxima's visit was a follow-up to Jokowi's earlier visit to the Netherlands on Apr. 22.
