… 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. …

ICC's Gadhafi probe could empower neighbors more than Libya

DW-World, Mar 17, 2011

The international criminal investigation against Gadhafi may have limited impact on the Libyan conflict. But it could also give protesters in other Arab countries new momentum in their bid to force democratic reforms.

Gadhafi is a target both within, and outside of, Libya
In a period of two weeks, the world community stripped Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi of his status as rehabilitated dictator, relegating him to the rank of international pariah and possible war criminal.

On February 26, the UN Security Council voted unanimously to refer Gadhafi's violent crackdown on peaceful protesters to the International Criminal Court in The Hague. It was the first unanimous referral in the Security Council's history.

But in the weeks since the Security Council's historic vote, the international response to the conflict in Libya has floundered. As world powers debate the pros and cons of military intervention, heavily armed and well-trained Gadhafi loyalists have regained momentum and pushed deeper into rebel-controlled territory, closing in on the opposition stronghold of Benghazi.

So while the Security Council's vote to investigate the Gadhafi regime may lend moral support to the embattled rebels, it has little practical impact on the balance of power in Libya. However, holding the Gadhafi regime legally accountable for alleged crimes could give renewed momentum to other opposition movements throughout the Arab world.

Partner to pariah

Richard Dicker, director of the international justice program at Human Rights Watch, told Deutsche Welle that the Security Council quickly turned against Gadhafi after he publicly expressed the intention to systematically attack civilians, which would amount to a crime against humanity.

"Members of the council were horrified by statements Moammar Gadhafi had made in the previous days promising bloodshed on a broad scale directed against those peaceful protestors in the streets of Libya," Dicker said. "And by the reports in the media of the security forces - some uniformed, some not uniformed, some reputed to be mercenaries - using violence and lethal means on a widespread basis."

However, Libya expert Dirk Vandewalle views Gadhafi's fall from international grace more as a story of political intrigue than values. Vandewalle, a professor at Dartmouth University, told Deutsche Welle that the Security Council is using human rights and the ICC as political tools to punish Gadhafi for having publicly fooled world leaders for years.


Rebels have hit setbacks from Gadhafi's forces

In 2003, the Gadhafi regime agreed to give up its WMD program and cooperate with the West on counterterrorism. Gadhafi's son Saif al-Islam had also talked about the possibility of democratic reforms. As a reward, Tripoli was brought back into the international fold.

"This was a regime that had wanted to become reintegrated into the international community," Vandewalle said. "And then in the end, when the uprising took place, it was shown for what it was – a sham."

And the emerging reality of grassroots democratization in the Arab world may have convinced the major Western powers that it was time to dump Gadhafi. Anthony Dworkin – an expert on human rights and international justice – argues that the Security Council members were responding to fundamental changes in the politics of a broader region gripped by upheaval.

"What changed are the population and the regional context," Dworkin, who works with the European Council on Foreign Relations, told Deutsche Welle. "It's no longer just international pressure against Libya – it's also international support for a protest movement that has turned into a large-scale attempt to change the political system under which the country is governed. "

Splitting the leadership

As the fighting in Libya rages on, Dicker says that the criminal investigation might deter some people in Gadhafi's inner circle from committing war crimes. On March 3, the ICC's chief prosecutor announced that the criminal investigation would focus on 10 to 15 top leaders. The Libyan national security advisor and Gadhafi's son Khamis are among those under scrutiny. Khamis commands the feared 32nd Brigade which is currently making advances against the rebels.

"The referral to the ICC was never expected to affect the thinking of Moammar Gadhafi and his actions," Dicker said. "It hoped to affect the thinking of lieutenants and henchman carrying out orders that under the ICC statute could amount to crimes that could in turn lead to prosecution by the court."

A refusal by top lieutenants to carry out orders would amount to a mutiny. Theoretically, the rebels could then exploit the division among Gadhafi's inner circle to regain lost momentum. However, Vandewalle says that the Gadhafi regime - largely a family enterprise - is unlikely to crack under international pressure.

"The regime was already so entrenched and so committed to fighting this out that it probably had little practical effect," he said. "If you listen to Gadhafi and [his son] Saif al-Islam talking about standing up to the last bullet - that was way before the ICC. They were committed to that kind of stand anyway."

Impact on Arab world

Ultimately, the ICC referral may have a more profound impact on the uprisings in other Arab states, such as Bahrain. Vandewalle points to the Arab League's call for a no-fly zone over Libya as a sign that the broader Mideast is adopting the language of human rights as part of a political dialogue.

Gadhafi has dug in to the end,
experts say
"The fact that this becomes part and parcel of an international conversation, of an international vocabulary is very important because it introduces a kind of a norm that we have not seen and that certainly the Arab leaderships themselves would have really objected to very violently until very recently," he said.

That international conversation has focused increasingly on government accountability. And in the Arab world, for the first time in recent history, accountability is being demanded below as well as above. Protesters are calling for reform at the grassroots level while the international community – through institutions like the ICC – is increasingly demanding that basic human rights be respected.

If the ICC truly holds the Gadhafi regime accountable for violently cracking down on the Libyan opposition, the case could create a precedent that gives protesters around the Arab world the legal cover they need to stay in the street until their demands are met.

"The ICC actually wanting to take this up gave a lot more breathing room to these oppositions," Vandewalle said. "And the opposition could fold their dialogue or grievances that they had within a much larger international context saying [that] there's legitimacy here to what is being asked.

"In a sense that has really changed - perhaps for ever - Arab politics."
