“… 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. …”

Widows sue Netherlands over Indonesia massacre

A group of Indonesian women are suing the Dutch state for the execution of their husbands by Dutch soldiers 62 years ago.

It is the first time that victims of the Indonesian struggle for independence (1945-1949) have taken legal action against the Netherlands. According to their Dutch lawyer, Liesbeth Zegveld, the women want the Netherlands to recognise the unlawfulness of its actions and financial compensation for their loss.

Indonesia, a Dutch colony since 1800, was occupied by Japan during the Second World War. After the war ended the Dutch tried to restore colonial rule, but they faced a nationalist revolt. Indonesia gained its independence in 1949, after five years of what the Dutch called "police action."

On December 9, 1947, Dutch soldiers attacked the village of Ragawede on the island of Java, killing hundreds of male villagers. Prisoners and people attempting to flee were shot.

Their widows are now sueing the Dutch state, not just for the killings, but also for failing to investigate the murders. Zegveld: "The military and civilian authorities, for opportunistic reasons, decided not to prosecute the officer in charge at Ragawede, major Wynen."

The Netherlands have apologised for the Ragawede massacre several times, but it has never accepted legal responsibility.

"Its main argument is that the statute of limitations on these crimes has expired," says Zegveld. "The victims feel the Netherlands cannot reasonably involke the statute of limitations. Claims brought by victims of the Second World War are still being treated in other cases. Besides, there is no statute of limitations on war crimes."

A 1948 United Nations report about the events at Ragawede called the Dutch action there "deliberate and merciless." None of the soldiers involved were ever put on trial.
