“… 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. …”

Connecticut's top court rules death penalty unconstitutional

The top court in the US state of Connecticut has ruled the death penalty unconstitutional. The court found that the death penalty amounted to "cruel and unusual punishment."

Deutsche Welle, 13 Aug 2015

The ruling, handed down by Connecticut Supreme Court in the state capital, Hartford, on Thursday came as a result of an appeal filed by the legal defense team of Eduardo Santiago, one of 11 convicts who had been on death row there.

His lawyers successfully argued that the abolishment of the death penalty, which was passed in 2012 to be applied only to crimes committed from that moment on, should also apply to Santiago. The prisoner was sentenced to death by lethal injection in 2005, after being convicted of murder in 2000.

"We are persuaded that, following its prospective abolition, this state's death penalty no longer comports with contemporary standards of decency and no longer serves any legitimate penological purpose," the judges wrote in Thursday's ruling.

"For these reasons, execution of those offenders who committed capital felonies prior to April 25, 2012, would violate the state constitutional prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment," they added.

Constitution 'violated'

"We hold that capital punishment, as currently applied, violates the constitution of Connecticut," they concluded.

Shortly after the ruling was handed down, the state's Democrat governor, Dannel Malloy, said none of the 11 inmates on death row would be executed.

"We will continue to look to the judicial system for additional guidance on this rule," he said. "It's clear that those currently serving on death row will serve the rest of their lives in a Department of Corrections facility with no possibility of ever obtaining freedom."

The state last carried out an execution in 2005, when serial killer Michael Ross was put to death.
