“… 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. …”

Hungary ready to compromise with EU over media law

M&C, Jan 31, 2011, 17:30 GMT

Brussels/Budapest - Hungary signaled to the European Union's executive it was ready to end a row over its controversial media law by tweaking its provisions, official documents showed on Monday.

The international controversy over Budapest's media law has clouded Hungary's debut at the EU's rotating presidency, and has drawn attention to supposedly authoritarian tendencies in Prime Minister Viktor Orban's government.

Earlier this month, the European Commission asked Hungary to clarify three aspects of the legislation, warning it suspected that it breached technical EU media rules as well as fundamental principles on freedom of expression.

In Hungary's reply on Monday, Deputy Prime Minister Tibor Navracsics offered counter-arguments in defence of the law, but still offered to change it if the EU executive remained unconvinced.

'If the commission, despite our arguments set forth in this letter, still deems it necessary to amend the Hungarian regulation with respect to the problems highlighted, we are prepared to commence drafting these modifications in the directions described above,' Navracsics wrote.

A copy of his letter was seen by the German Press Agency dpa.

In Brussels, Hungarian foreign minister Janos Martonyi confirmed his country's conciliatory stance.

'The necessary adjustments will be made and I'm absolutely convinced that a solution acceptable for everyone will now be found,' he told reporters.

In a letter dated January 21, EU commissioner for digital affairs Neelie Kroes had given Hungary two weeks to answer 'serious doubts' over the media law.

Among three points highlighted in the letter was the obligation for all news media - including the printed press and websites - to register with the state authorities.

Navracsics countered that 'registration is in no way a restriction of press freedom,' simply a means for the media authority to identify the firms in its purview.

News services are also obliged to provide 'balanced' coverage - a provision that Kroes described as 'leaving rather large room for interpretation.'

Hungary said it was ready to clarify that that provision applied to commercial media only, excluding outlets such as private bloggers, and indicated that there were no financial penalties foreseen for breaches of the rule.

Kroes also expressed concern over the fact that the law appears to apply not only to domestic media outlets, but also those based abroad that serve Hungary, which could be in contravention of EU rules on country of origin.

The Hungarian minister disagreed, but said that his government would amend the clause if the EU executive could provide supplementary evidence.

The commissioner, however, chose not to pick a fight over the make up of Hungary's media watchdog, despite having previously questioned its independence, because she recognized that the EU had no competence over the issue.

Members of the Media Council - who have the power to impose steep fines on offending media - were appointed by Hungary's parliament, where the governing centre-right coalition supporting Prime Minister Viktor Orban has a two-third majority.

Speaking as he chaired a meeting of EU affairs ministers in Brussels, Martonyi felt it necessary to reassure EU peers about Hungary's democratic credentials.

'My country is fully and entirely committed to the respect of all (of the EU's) values, principles and freedoms,' he said, during broadcasted session of the talks.
