“… 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. …”

Bali Police Turn Sights on Dutch Reporter

The Bali Police officer caught on video soliciting a Rp 200,000 ($21) bribe has not yet been punished, while the Dutch national who recorded the transaction could face criminal charges, police said on Tuesday.

Sr. Comr. Hariadi, a spokesman for the Bali Police, told the Jakarta Globe that the officer in question, Second Insp. Komang Sarjana from the Badung district police, was still being investigated by the police’s internal affairs division.

“He is being investigated for disciplinary violations. Nothing’s final yet because the probe is still underway,” Hariadi said.

Sarjana shot to infamy after a video was uploaded to YouTube last week that showed him stopping Kees van der Spek, a journalist for the Dutch TV channel SBS6, for riding a motorcycle without a helmet.

The video, which as of Tuesday evening had garnered 1.26 million views and which van der Spek was filming for a series on scams faced by Dutch tourists abroad, showed Sarjana offering to “fine” the Dutchman Rp 200,000 in lieu of issuing him a ticket that would have required him to go to court and pay a bigger fine.

He later bought beers with some of the money, which he and another officer were seen drinking with van der Spek, and also boasted of having taken Rp 400,000 from two other tourists earlier in the day.

While Bali Governor Made Mangku Pastika, himself a former chief of the provincial police, has lauded van der Spek’s video as shining a light on “our ugly side,” the current police chief, Insp. Gen. Arif Wachyunandi, has taken a different view.

Arif said the video was clear evidence that van der Spek had bribed a law enforcement officer, for which he should face criminal charges.

“Both the recipient and the person who gives a bribe must be punished according to prevailing laws,” he said on Monday.

“The legal process [against van der Spek] is already underway.”

Another video by van der Spek was uploaded to YouTube last Thursday in which one of the men from the journalist’s team was shown handing $200 to a customs officer at Denpasar’s Ngurah Rai International Airport to allow the crew to bring their camera equipment into the country despite not having a filming permit.

Customs officials have confirmed the incident and launched a probe. Other videos in the collection “Safety tips for tourist when visiting Bali Paradise Island” show van der Spek exposing some of the common tourist scams in the resort island.
