I'm going to tell you to watch for leadership that cares about you. "You mean politics is going to change?" It already has. It's beginning. Watch for it. You're going to see a total phase-out of old energy dictatorships eventually. The potential is that you're going to see that before 2013.

“… 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. …”

Why some politicians can't relinquish power

Stop meddling! This was the curt response by today's politicians to the old guard's interference in the difficult process of forming a coalition. Two former prime ministers and numerous other Christian Democrat politicians have openly voiced their opposition to a cabinet supported by the Geert Wilders' populist Freedom Party.

The criticism of prominent party members is dismissed as undesired and irrelevant. It is up to the younger generation of politicians to determine the course of the country. It is difficult enough to form a coalition as it is, the politicians of today think. The criticism by the party's dinosaurs has missed its target, illustrated by the heated debates within the party.

Life-long power

Meddling by former politicians is a worldwide phenomenon. The only difference is how it's done. In many countries, it's possible to remain in power for the rest of your life. In others, political leaders try to secure their legacy by choosing their successor. And there are countries where political dinosaurs try to reassert their power, with varying degrees of success.

Asia

Aburizal Bakrie

Indonesia is a textbook example. It is normal for politicians who refuse to leave the political arena to interfere with government affairs. One example is blatant power mongering by Aburizal Bakrie, the leader of the de Golkar Party. This former minister of economic affairs and powerful businessman was the subject of an investigation into corruption after leaving office in 2005. A public smear campaign against the minister of finance Sri Mulyani who instigated the investigation, was successful. As a result, Sri Mulyani was moved to the World Bank while Mr Bakrie reaffirmed his position by brokering a coalition between the Golkar Party and the President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's Democrat Party.

In China, former politicians do not publicly get involved in government affairs. The former heads of the communist party usually make sure their legacy is left in safe hands before they take their pensions. They extend their power by putting an apprentice in their place, and advising them from behind the scenes. If there is open criticism, it is when power struggles develop between potential successors. Besides, there is not much room for expressing criticism in the heavily state-regulated media.

Africa

On the African continent, political power is often seen as a divine right. Once politicians get into power, they literally see it as a job for life. There are plenty of examples: the Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, Robert Mugabe in Zimbabwe and Paul Biya in Cameroon. However, in Nigeria, General Ibrahim Babangida did abdicate. In 1993, he stood down as president, but now he appears to regret it. IBB, as he is nicknamed, plans to stand in the next presidential election in 2011, because he thinks the younger generation is unable to lead the country. During his last presidency, the army had huge influence on politics and there was large-scale corruption.

Latin-America

There is no sign of former politicians seizing political power in Mexico right now. But former president Vicente Fox's actions can be described as meddling. In his blog, Mr Fox suggested the legalisation of the production, sale and distribution of drugs, in order to put an end to drugs-related violence in his country. In doing so, he knowingly contradicts party comrade and current President Felipe Calderón. The president vehemently opposes legalising drugs and has declared an all-out war on the drug cartels.
