“… 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. …”

Chile closes luxury prison for Pinochet-era inmates

Cordillera jail in Santiago allowed military officials convicted of crimes against humanity a pool, tennis courts and barbecues

 Chile will close a luxury prison for dictatorship-era military officials convicted of crimes against humanity, taking away their tennis courts, barbecues and a pool, the president announced on Thursday.

The Cordillera prison, located on an army base, allows the officers jailed for killings, tortures and other abuses committed during General Augusto Pinochet's 1973-90 dictatorship much better conditions than Chile's normal jails. The inmates live in small cabins, have hot showers and get lots of natural light.

President Sebastian Pinera said his government decided to close Cordillera taking into account "equality before law" as well as the security of the luxury lock-up's 10 inmates, who will now serve time at Punta Peuco, another special prison for human rights offenders.

The decision came after Manuel Contreras, the former chief of Pinochet's secret service, gave an interview inside Cordillera before the 40th anniversary of the military coup on 11 September.

Contreras, who is serving combined sentences of more than 100 years for kidnappings and murders, mocked prison guards, saying they were there only "to hold his cane," and he claimed that all the thousands of people who disappeared during the dictatorship were armed leftists killed in gunfights.

Cordillera was built in 2004 during the presidency of Ricardo Lagos to avoid overcrowding at Punta Peuco.

Former president Michelle Bachelet, who was held and tortured during the dictatorship, praised the decision to close Cordillera.

"This means that the country is in a condition to do this," said Bachelet, who is the front-runner in the campaign for the presidential election on 17 November.

The privileged conditions at Cordillera have been criticised ever since it was built.

But the public outcry reached a high point on Wednesday when supporters of former Brigadier Miguel Krassnoff tried to organise a barbecue in his honour at Cordillera, where he is serving a 144-year sentence.

An event honouring Krassnoff in 2011 ended in clashes between his supporters and human rights activists.

The current governing coalition is the first conservative government since Chile's return to democracy in 1990. Members of both ruling parties supported Pinochet's dictatorship and several Pinochet-era officials now serve as MPs.

In 2011, Pinera's government officially recognised 9,800 more victims of the dictatorship. That increased the total list of people killed, tortured or imprisoned for political reasons during Pinochet's regime to 40,018. The government estimates 3,095 of those were killed, including about 1,200 who were forcibly "disappeared".

About 700 military officials face trial for the forced disappearance of dissidents and about 70 have been jailed for crimes against humanity.

"It's a milestone, a right decision from the human rights point of view," Lorena Fries, director of Chile's official Human Rights Institute, said of Cordillera's closure.

"The president said it best: it's about equality because there are thousands of people living in overcrowded prisons ... and this was a slap in the face for the law," Fries said.
