“… 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. …”

The wife of an Australian reporter allegedly killed by Indonesian forces in East Timor in 1975 said on Wednesday that she trusted the Indonesian people to make up their own minds about what happened.

Shirley Shackleton, wife of late journalist Greg Shackleton, is in Jakarta to testify before a court that is hearing a petition against the government’s banning of the movie “Balibo” last year.

“Tomorrow I’ll be cross-examined rather fiercely in the court. I’m nervous about that as I want to do well,” she told Indonesian reporters at a press conference.

Asked what she thought of Indonesia’s official claims that the reporters were accidentally killed in crossfire rather than executed in cold blood, she said: “That’s been rubbish for 35 years.”

“They were just doing their job like you are.”

“Balibo,” the first feature film ever made in East Timor, premiered in Melbourne last July before an audience including East Timorese President Jose Ramos-Horta, who says Indonesian forces murdered the reporters.

Starring Anthony LaPaglia, it tells the story of five journalists killed when Indonesian troops overran the East Timorese town of Balibo in October, 1975, and a sixth who died later in the full-scale assault on Dili.

Jakarta has always maintained that the so-called “Balibo Five” died in crossfire as Indonesian troops fought East Timorese Fretilin rebels.

Indonesian banned the film for national security reasons but groups including the Alliance of Independent Journalists (AJI) have launched a legal challenge against the censors’ decision.

“A film should never be banned in a country which is a democracy. Any organization that tried to ban what the people want to see is making a mockery of democracy,” Shackleton said.

“This is about the film and the rights of the people here to watch, think, believe and say what they want, not what the government wants them to do.

“This film lets the cat out of the bag, you can’t keep it quiet any longer, the cat escapes. They have made a problem if they want to censor the film. I trust the Indonesian people to make up their own mind.”

Speaking after at a court hearing called to lift a ban on the movie "Balibo," Shirley Shackleton, the wife of journalist Greg Shackleton, one of five journalists allegedly murdered by the Indonesian military in 1975, called on former cabinet minister Yunus Yosafiah, one of the alleged ringleaders of the massacre, to meet her to “clear his name.”
