“… 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. …”

Dutch central bank to investigate historical links with slavery

Dutch central bank DNB is authorising an independent investigation into the bank’s historical links with slavery, a spokesperson for the bank confirmed to news platform NU.nl.

The announcement comes in the wake of an article in Dutch weekly VN on banks and their past associations with slavery. This was based in part on a list of loans made to plantations by banks, including DNB, dating from before 1863, when slavery was abolished.

According to the article, three directors of the DNB were involved in drawing up a compensation package offered by the Dutch government to former slave owners – some 300 guilders per freed slave, or €7,000 in today’s money.

‘We are aware of the current discussion about the Dutch past with regards to slavery and the investigation at the Bank of England into its connection with the slave trade, and that is why we have decided to conduct our own investigation,’ a DNB spokesman told NU.nl.

The investigation will focus on the first years of the bank’s existence and the role of one of its financers, Johanna Borski, part of whose immense fortune was invested in plantations in Surinam and elsewhere in the Caribbean, the DNB said.

Once the investigation has been concluded the bank will decide on possible steps. The Bank of England issued an formal apology following the results of its investigation.

Monument

In a further attempt at recognising the Dutch involvement in the slave trade, Utrecht local council has decided to erect a monument to commemorate victims of slavery. There are already monuments to the abolition of slavery in Rotterdam,The Hague and Amsterdam. The Utrecht tribute is scheduled to be revealed during the celebration of Keti Koto on July 1 2023, the year that marks the 150th anniversary of the abolition of slavery.

The monument ‘must be a visible recognition of the terrible harm that slavery did for centuries and which has left its mark until this day,’ the council said. Its unveiling will be part of a broader event featuring debate, exhibitions and theatre.

Prime minister Rutte, who recently rejected a formal apology for the Dutch link with slavery requested by coalition parties D66 and ChristenUnie, has said he will look into the option of declaring 2023 the year to remember it.
