“… 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. …”

Tory minister accused of tax avoidance via offshore company in Gibraltar

Conservative Stephen Hammond reportedly avoided capital gains tax by using firm to buy his holiday villa in Portugal

A Tory minister avoided paying tax by using an offshore company to buy his holiday home, the Daily Telegraph has claimed.

Stephen Hammond, a junior transport minister, used a company based in Gibraltar to buy his family's £500,000 villa in Portugal.

By not owning the villa directly, he reduced his tax bill in both Britain and Portugal.

A tax specialist told the Daily Telegraph that Hammond would have been able to avoid a "big hit of capital gains tax".

The prime minister has attacked tax avoidance and George Osborne, the chancellor, described the practice as "morally repugnant".

The Telegraph said Hammond bought a villa in Algarve through a company called Peal Gas Ltd. The minister told the paper he was behind the offshore firm that owns the family's second home.

A spokesman for Hammond said in a statement: "Mr Hammond has always paid the correct amount of tax in the UK. Mr Hammond has had no personal tax liability overseas."

Peal Gas was set up in Gibraltar in April 1997. Hammond bought the company, which already owned the property, in 2002. In 2005, Portugal changed its tax rules so that the annual property tax for homes owned through companies registered in Gibraltar rose to 5%.

If Hammond has transferred the property into his own name at this point he would have been liable for capital gains tax on the increase on the value of the property since it would technically have been classed as a sale.

Instead, in December 2005, he moved the company to Delaware, a US state not covered by the Portuguese rules.

Experts estimate this decision could have saved him about £20,000 in British tax because such villas rose in value by about £100,000 during this period.

Peal Gas was registered in Gibraltar until the new company was set up in Delaware. The company's registered agent is the Corporation Trust Company in Wilmington, where more than 285,000 separate businesses are registered. The Telegraph believes this allowed Hammond to avoid capital gains tax in Britain, which would be levied at 28%.

Hammond was elected MP for Wimbledon in 2005 and became a minister last year. His villa in Vale de Lobo has four bedrooms and a swimming pool. It can be rented out for up to £,2425 per month.
