Merkel says fall of Wall proves 'dreams can come true'


“ … Here is another one. A change in what Human nature will allow for government. "Careful, Kryon, don't talk about politics. You'll get in trouble." I won't get in trouble. I'm going to tell you to watch for leadership that cares about you. "You mean politics is going to change?" It already has. It's beginning. Watch for it. You're going to see a total phase-out of old energy dictatorships eventually. The potential is that you're going to see that before 2013. They're going to fall over, you know, because the energy of the population will not sustain an old energy leader ..."

… 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. …

Top UBS banker attacks City culture

UBS's new head of investment banking Andrea Orcel admitted to MPs and peers that banks had become 'too arrogant, too self-convinced' in the runup to the banking crisis

Banks are "too arrogant" and must undergo sweeping cultural changes, a top banker at UBS said on Wednesday as the Swiss bank was described by the incoming archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, as a "corrupted organisation".

At a hearing of the banking standards commission, UBS's new head of investment banking, Andrea Orcel, admitted to MPs and peers that banks had become "too arrogant, too self-convinced" before the banking crisis that helped to expose the rigging of interbank lending rates. UBS was hit with a record £940m fine as a result of the scandal last month.

"I think the industry has to change," said Orcel, who joined UBS in July and was dubbed the "Ronaldo of banking" by a commission member, while another called him a "deal junkie".

Chaired by the Conservative MP Andrew Tyrie, the commission was surprised by the bank's admission that it had fired only 18 of the 40 individuals who regulators said knew about the Libor rigging. Tyrie told Orcel that Libor rigging was "a shocker of enormous proportions".

Orcel – who at Merrill Lynch in 2007 advised Royal Bank of Scotland on its ill-fated takeover of ABN Amro, for which he is said to have received a £7.5m fee – insisted that the staff involved in manipulating Libor had been "dismissed, penalised or reprimanded". UBS said 22 people still employed by the bank had been disciplined.

One of those who left before the fine was imposed was named before the commission as Tom Hayes, who had been based in Japan. Andrew Williams, UBS's global head of compliance, said Hayes had been headhunted by Citigroup before his actions had been exposed – prompting laughter at the start of the lengthy hearing. "Clearly his conduct was reprehensible and we are all disgusted by it," Williams said.

The UBS bankers were unable to disclose the size of any bonuses paid to Hayes, who made $260m (£160m) in revenues for UBS during his tenure at the bank between 2006 and 2009. Williams said that it had not been possible to claw back any payments to him as he had forfeited them when lured to Citi.

Lord Lawson, the former Conservative chancellor and member of the commission, who named Hayes, was among those unconvinced by the bank's assertion that top management did not know about the rigging, which was discussed on electronic chat boards viewed by as many as 70 people. Lawson also expressed incredulity that only 18 people had been fired.

Hayes is facing extradition to the US on charges of conspiracy, wire fraud and an antitrust violation. Lawson said the regulatory investigation had shown him to be a "crook of the first order", to which the UBS executives declined to comment, citing the legal proceedings in the US.

Orcel, asked by Labour MP Pat McFadden how many of the traders at UBS were women, admitted that it was likely that more than 90% were male. "That is a failure of UBS," he replied when asked if a greater female presence would have helped to change the culture.

Orcel, who admitted that he would not have advised RBS to proceed with the ABN Amro takeover "with what we know now", said UBS was focused on "recovering the honour and the standing" of the bank. Even so, he said: "I can't tell you that it won't happen again" despite the changes made, which include bonuses no longer tied to individual revenue generation. The ratio of a traders' salary to their bonus could be as much as one to three, he said.

"I am convinced that we have made a lot of progress. I am also convinced that we still need to do more," Orcel said.

Four former UBS executives, including the former chief executive Marcel Rohner, will give evidence to the commission on Thursday, as will the newly knighted Hector Sants, the chief executive of the Financial Services Authority until just before Barclays was hit with a fine of £290m over Libor in June. The coalition set up the banking standards commission following the uproar caused by the Barclays fine.
