“… 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. …”

MPs worried about RNW's independence

Dutch MPS are concerned whether Radio Netherlands Worldwide will be reduced to a government mouthpiece once it falls under the control of the foreign ministry after the upcoming reorganisation.

The cabinet says parliament is imagining things and has nothing to worry about. In the current setup, RNW operates under the Dutch media laws which specifically ban the government from exercising any kind of editorial control.

However, the new organisation – reduced in size by about 70 percent as the result of budget cuts - will no longer fall under the media law once it has completed its move from the culture ministry to the foreign ministry at the end of 2012. The new RNW will have only one mission: providing independent information in regions where there is no or limited free speech.

Free Speech

In a parliamentary debate, MPs from various parties asked the government for guarantees that the foreign ministry would not impose editorial control. Culture Minister Marja van Bijsterveldt, at present still responsible for RNW, emphatically stated that the organisation’s journalistic independence was not at risk.

The minister told MPs that the foreign ministry already subsidises a number of organisations such as Free Press Unlimited without attempting to impose editorial control on any of them, so there was no reason to expect the foreign ministry to treat RNW any differently.

Budget Day

The Christian Democrats (CDA), junior partner in the coalition government, pointed out that the Council of State, the nation’s highest administrative court and highest government advisory body, was concerned about RNW’s journalistic independence "whereas the Council has not expressed similar concerns about other organisations subsidised by the foreign ministry.”

The CDA wants Foreign Minister Uri Rosenthal to inform them before Budget Day (the third Tuesday in September) exactly how he plans to safeguard RNW’s journalistic independence.

Confident

"Journalistic independence is crucial to RNW fulfilling its mission,” said RNW's Editor-in-Chief Rik Rensen in a reaction. “We are fully confident that our independence will also be guaranteed when we fall under the foreign ministry next year.”

The parliamentary debate also covered RNW’s broadcasts to the Dutch Caribbean. The broadcasts to Suriname and the former Netherlands Antilles are scheduled to end at the end of 2012. It is not clear what – if anything – will take their place. Minister Van Bijsterveldt promised she would submit her plans to parliament before 15 June.
