“… 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. …”

Germany raids suspected tax dodgers, using CD data

Deutsche Welle, 16 april 2013

Police have launched a series of raids around the country after the state of Rhineland-Palatinate bought illicit data on Germans with Swiss bank accounts. The purchase is contentious, but is considered good business.

The state finance minister for Rhineland-Palatinate, Social Democrat Carsten Kühl, said that his regional government had paid around 4.4 million euros ($5.8 million) for a CD containing up to 40,000 pertinent data files on Germans using so-called tax havens. He described the data as authentic and of excellent quality, also predicting that the German government as a whole would profit greatly from the under-the-table purchase.

"We expect a nationwide tax income of around 500 million euros from the information now available," Kühl said on Tuesday, as first reports of as many as 200 home searches around the country began to filter in.

"A modern country founded on the rule of law and social equality cannot do without just tax returns," Kühl said. "That's why we have to take substantive action to combat tax evasion." Kühl also said that tax evasion could not be considered a kind of "cavalier offense," a common German term for what's sometimes called a "white-collar crime" or peccadillo in English.

According to information in the online portal of German news giant Spiegel, the CD contained data on more than 10,000 bank accounts specifically in Switzerland. Though inexplicit, comments from the federal finance ministry appeared to support this assertion.

Swiss accounts apparently the focus

"The situation regarding the acquisition from Switzerland of tax owed to Germany remains unsatisfactory," a spokesman for the ministry said in Berlin. This statement might be interpreted both as cautious endorsement of the CD's purchase and as an oblique criticism of the opposition, however.

The federal government had agreed a bilateral tax deal with Switzerland, approved in the Swiss parliament, that failed to pass through the opposition-controlled upper house of German parliament, the Bundesrat, in November last year. The opposition argued that the deal was not good enough - criticizing the agreed rates, the 10-year timeframe and the promise of continued anonymity for investors.

Rhineland-Palatinate's state government is also controlled by a coalition of the opposition Social Democrats and Greens.

Previous purchases of these tax CDs by German regional governments, denounced by Swiss banks and politicians as illegal, were criticized by the federal government before the death of the bilateral tax agreement. Then, Chancellor Merkel's coalition said the actions undermined attempts to reach an official pact with Switzerland.

The use of so-called tax-havens has come under particular scrutiny this month with the release of the "Offshore Leaks" list of as many as 130,000 alleged, potential tax dodgers from around the world.
