… 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. …

EU nations must not to refuse Muslim migrants: Merkel

Yahoo – AFP, August 28, 2016

Berlin (AFP) - The refusal of some EU countries to accept Muslim refugees is "unacceptable", Chancellor Angela Merkel said Sunday as Germany called for quotas to divide the influx throughout the bloc.

"That's not right at all that some countries say: 'generally speaking, we don't want to have Muslims in our countries'," Merkel told German public television channel ARD.

Backing the idea of a quota system for taking in migrants, the German leader stressed that "everyone must do their part," and that "a common solution must be found."

A common European migration policy is a highly controversial issue, which will be on the agenda of an EU summit next month, with eastern members the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia refusing to take in refugees under an EU-wide quota system championed by Berlin.

Slovak President Robert Fico has vowed he would "never bring even a single Muslim" into his country.

In 2015, Germany took in around a million asylum seekers, most from Syria, Iraq or Afghanistan, and this year it expects up to 300,000 more to arrive, the Federal Office for Migrants and Refugees (BAMF) said Sunday.

"We can ensure optimal services for up to 300,000. Should more people arrive, it would put us under pressure, then we would go into so-called crisis mode. But even then we would not have conditions like last year," BAMF chief Frank-Juergen Weise told the Bild am Sonntag newspaper

Merkel's decision last September to open the doors to asylum seekers was seen in many European nations, notably those in the east, as an invitation for further mass migration.

Some, like the Slovak leader, voiced fears of the emergence of a significant Muslim community in their countries.

On Tuesday, Czech Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka said he does not want a "large Muslim community... given the problems we are seeing" and that each EU member should be able to choose how many migrants to accept.

German public sentiment is sharply divided when it comes to Merkel, who has not yet said whether she will stand for a fourth term in a general election expected in September or October next year.

Blair defends Iraq war after damning inquiry report

London (AFP) - Former British prime minister Tony Blair on Wednesday made a passionate defence of the 2003 war in Iraq, after a long-awaited official inquiry condemned it as woefully executed and based on flawed evidence.

His voice cracking with emotion, Blair said he had "more sorrow, regret and apology than you may ever know or can believe" for some mistakes in the planning of a war that deeply divided Britain.

But, in a two-hour press conference, he stuck resolutely to his defence, as more than 100 anti-war protesters rallied in London, shouting: "Blair lied, thousands died" and "war criminal Tony Blair."

he acted "in good faith and in what I
 believed to be the best interests of the
country" (AFP Photo/Stefan Rousseau)
"I believe we made the right decision and the world is better and safer" without Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, Blair told reporters.

The long-awaited Chilcot report offered a damning verdict on Britain's role in the US-led war, detailing the flawed intelligence, questionable legal basis and "woefully inadequate" preparation for the occupation.

Iraq's descent into violence and loss of life following the invasion saw 150,000 Iraqis killed by the time most British troops left in 2009.

The report said Britain deployed troops before diplomatic options had been exhausted.

It also highlighted how Blair wrote to president George W. Bush in July 2002, the year before the war saying: "I will be with you, whatever."

The inquiry found that "military action in Iraq might have been necessary at some point. But in March 2003 there was no imminent threat from Saddam Hussein".

Shortly after Blair had responded to the report, current Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn -- a top figure in the anti-war campaign -- directly contradicted the former Labour premier.

"The invasion and occupation of Iraq was a catastrophe," Corbyn, who formed the Stop the War coalition, said in a speech to the families of British soldiers who died.

"I now apologise sincerely on behalf of my party for the disastrous decision to go to war in Iraq," he said.

'No lies, parliament not misled'

The war was justified at the time by claims that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction, but they were never found and the intelligence was later withdrawn.

Inquiry chairman John Chilcot laid the blame for this firmly on spy chiefs, clearing Blair's officials of "improperly" influencing a key intelligence paper published in September 2002.

The report also criticised Blair for failing to challenge Bush on the lack of planning for the post-invasion phase -- and dismissed his assertion that the impact of local militia and Iran could not have been predicted.

invasion (AFP Photo/Paul J. Richards)

"I accept that especially in hindsight we should have approached the situation differently," said Blair, who was prime minister from 1997 to 2007.

But he added: "There were no lies, parliament and cabinet were not misled, there was no secret commitment to war. The intelligence was not falsified and the decision was made in good faith."

Iraq remains plagued by sectarian violence -- on Sunday at least 250 people were killed by a Baghdad suicide bombing claimed by the Islamic State group.

Blair rejected claims the war led to the rise of Islamist groups in the region, saying Saddam was "himself a wellspring of terror" -- but admitted many disagreed.

'I hold him responsible'

Relatives of some of the 179 British soldiers who died in Iraq said they would scrutinise the findings for possible grounds for legal action against Blair and other officials.

"The inquiry has confirmed all our fears that these young men and women were deployed on the back of a falsehood," said Roger Bacon, whose son Matthew, 34, died in 2005.

The legality of the invasion was not in his remit, but Chilcot said the process of deciding the legal basis for war was "far from satisfactory".

"We have concluded that the UK chose to join the invasion of Iraq before the peaceful options for disarmament had been exhausted. Military action at that time was not a last resort," he said.

The families are not the only ones considering legal action against Blair -- a cross-party group of MPs is also looking into the possibility, including of taking a case to the International Criminal Court.

The war, which at one point saw 46,000 British troops deployed, mostly in southern Iraq around the strategic oil hub of Basra, still looms large over British politics.

Britain's scarring experience in Iraq has made it deeply wary of committing ground troops to international military interventions in countries like Syria and Libya.

Retired civil servant Chilcot said his report was "an account of an intervention which went badly wrong, with consequences to this day".

In a statement to the House of Commons, Prime Minister David Cameron said: "We cannot turn the clock back but can ensure that lessons are learned and acted on".

German FM lauds Kyrgyzstan as a stable democracy in a volatile region

German Foreign Minister Steinmeier has visited the central-Asian Republic of Kyrgyzstan, praising the country as a "living democracy." However, he also highlighted the growing threat posed to the region by extremism.

Deutsche Welle, 1 April 2016

 Frank-Walter Steinmeier and Almazbek Atambayev

While touring Bishkek, the capital of the former Soviet Republic of Kyrgyzstan, German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier promised to deliver further funds in aid to help the country maintain a stable democracy. Following a meeting with President Almazbek Atambayev, Steinmeier announced that Kyrgyzstan paid an "exceedingly important contribution to guaranteeing stability in the region as a living, parliamentary democracy."

With the so-called "Islamic State" movement gaining influence in the region and recruiting a fast-growing number of locals to fight for them in Syria and Iraq, Steinmeier also stressed that a strong democracy provided a good measure to prevent "radicalism and fundamentalism from taking hold."

Kyrgyz Foreign Minister Erlan Abdyldaev said, however, that in order maintain that standard, the country needed more money.

"We also wish for our country to be open and democratic. But democracy cannot thrive in poverty," he said, according to the German DPA news agency.

A lifeline out of poverty

With the country's economy relying largely on the mining of coal and gold, 40 percent of its 5.7 million-strong population are currently living below the poverty line, according to the International Monetary Fund. But with Russia's economy dragging many of its former Soviet republics down as well, stability and safety come at a cost, which the landlocked republic can barely afford.

Kyrgyzstan was Steinmeier's second stop in a three-day-tour of the region. Having visited Uzbekistan earlier, the foreign minister prepared to head for his final stop on the itinerary, Tajikistan, where he is due to meet with authoritarian President Emomali Rahmon, who has been ruling over the impoverished mountain state since it broke off from the USSR in 1991.

Putin denounces 'IS' during reopening of Moscow mosque

Russian President Vladimir Putin has delivered a speech at the opening of the country's largest mosque. He sought to promote the positive values of Islam, but also to codemn extremist violence.

Deutsche Welle, 23 Sep 2015

Putin oversees opening of new mosque

Vladimir Putin, concerned about the growing number of Russian-speaking citizens joining the ranks of the self-styled "Islamic State" (IS) terrorist group fighting in Syria and Iraq, on Wednesday painted jihadism as a distortion of Islamic values and the opening of the new mosque as a positive outlet for Russian Muslims.

"We see what is happening in the Middle East where terrorists from the so-called Islamic State group are compromising a great world religion, compromising Islam, in order to sow hate," he said at the site of the newly reopened Moscow Cathedral Mosque.

The speech, which was delivered just a day before the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha, also emphasized the mosque's role as a spiritual center for Russians. "It will be a source for education, spreading humanist ideas and the true values of Islam," Putin said.

Among those in attendance were Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who was set to meet with Putin later that day to discuss the conflict in the Middle East and specifically in Syria. Concern has grown among world leaders regarding Russia's role in war-torn Syria, with the United States recently accusing Putin of sending troops and military equipment to his embattled ally, President Bashar al-Assad. Turkey, meanwhile, has been highly critical Assad during the country's civil war.

In addition to the estimated 2,000 Russian speakers who have traveled to the Middle East to fight alongside IS, Moscow has also been fighting an Islamic insurgency in the restless Caucusus region in the south.

The Moscow mosque was originally built in the early 1900s, and then demolished in 2011. The reconstruction, which cost $170 million (152 million euros), drew controversy after another mosque was demolished in order to make room for it. One of the largest mosques in Europe, it will be able to accomodate an estimated 10,000 people.

French Court Summons Ex-Guantanamo Chief in Torture Probe

Naharnet Newsdesk, AFP, 2 April 2015



A French court on Thursday summoned former Guantanamo prison chief Geoffrey Miller over accusations of torture by two ex-detainees, in a move their lawyer said would open the door to further prosecutions.

Nizar Sassi and Mourad Benchellali, both French citizens, were arrested by U.S. forces in Afghanistan before being transferred to the notorious prison set up in Guantanamo Bay to hold terror suspects after the 9/11 attacks.

They were held there from the end of 2001 until 2004 and 2005 respectively, before being sent home.

A French probe into their case began after they filed a complaint in court.

"The door has opened for civilian and military officials to be prosecuted over international crimes committed in Guantanamo," their lawyer William Bourdon said.

"This decision can only... lead to other leaders being summoned."

Despite promises by U.S. President Barack Obama to close the prison, which is located in Cuba's Guantanamo Bay -- an area on the east of the island under U.S. control since a treaty signed in 1903 -- it remains open and still houses detainees without charge.

The U.S. presence at Guantanamo Bay, where it also has a naval base, is one of the major stumbling blocks in Washington and Havana's historic move towards normalizing ties.

In an expert report submitted to a French judge last year, lawyers for Sassi and Benchellali accused Miller of "an authorized and systematic plan of torture and ill-treatment on persons deprived of their freedom without any charge and without the basic rights of any detainee."

Miller, who was commander of the prison from 2002 to 2004 and is now retired, "bears individual criminal responsibility for the war crimes and acts of torture inflicted on detainees in US custody at Guantanamo," according to the report.

Just before Miller became commander of Guantanamo in late 2002, president George W. Bush's administration approved so-called enhanced interrogation techniques, including placing detainees in stress positions, stripping them, isolating them for extended periods of time and exposing them to extreme heat and cold.

Miller then implemented these methods.

And even though then-secretary of defense Donald Rumsfeld withdrew permission for the most controversial of these interrogation techniques shortly thereafter in January 2003, "under ... Miller's command at Guantanamo, these techniques continued to be used in certain cases," the detainees' lawyers said last year.

"These acts constitute torture and violate, at a minimum, the Geneva Convention's prohibition on coercive interrogations."

Sassi and Benchellali are not the only detainees alleging torture during their time at the prison.

Former Syrian detainee Abdul Rahim Abdul Razak al Janko had wanted to sue the U.S. government for damages stemming from his treatment while held at Guantanamo for seven years until his 2009 release.

In his complaint, Janko cited years-long solitary confinement, lengthy bouts of sleep deprivation, "severe beatings," threats against him and his family, sexually explicit slurs against his female relatives, deprivation of adequate medical and psychological care, as well as "continuous" humiliation and harassment.

But last month, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear his appeal, as well as another by a U.S. rights group.

EU seeks to deter Mediterranean refugees

The number of asylum applicants to European nations rose by 44 percent last year, with the total reaching 626,000, according to EU statistics. Meanwhile, the EU is planning to intercept refugees in the Mediterranean.

Deutsche Welle, 22 March 2015


According to the European Union's statistics agency, Eurostat, 191,000 more people applied for asylum in European countries in 2014 than the previous year, with the number of Syrian asylum applicants rising to 122,800 from 50,000 in 2013.

It also said that many of these applicants sought asylum in Germany, with 32 percent of the total number, followed by Sweden with 13 percent, then Italy and France with 10 percent, and Hungary with 7 percent.

"It should be noted that these five member states registered different trends last year," Eurostat added.

Italy has been most concerned with scores of migrants coming to its borders by boats across the Mediterranean, mainly from Libya.

EU sea mission braces for migrants

With summer around the corner, a record number of refugees are expected to arrive in Europe by sea, especially traveling from Libya to Italy. The EU's largest border mission, Triton, conducted exercises off the eastern coast of Sicily earlier this week to repel the wave of refugees coming towards Europe.

Meanwhile, Egypt and Tunisia have offered help to the EU in trapping refugees on the Mediterranean Sea. According to Der Spiegel magazine, the two countries have struck an agreement with Germany and other major EU countries in this regard.

"Third countries can intervene more quickly and effectively due to their geographical proximity" to rescue refugees and prevent humanitarian tragedies, the magazine quoted a source as saying.

According to the reports, the Egyptian and Tunisian naval forces would bring migrants to "their own ports" on the North African coast instead of sending them back to their home countries.

Greens MEP Ska Keller told Der Spiegel that the EU states did not want to accept their responsibility in the refugee crisis, and that Egypt and Tunisia were not safe for the refugees.


A number of human rights organizations, including the United Nations, have criticized the EU countries for not taking in enough refugees.

Turkey detains spy for helping British girls join IS

Yahoo – AFP,  Fulya Ozerkan, 12 March 2015

ANKARA (Turkey) (AFP) - Turkey on Thursday said it had detained an intelligence agent working for one of the nations in the US-led coalition fighting Islamic State (IS) for helping three British teenage girls cross into Syria to join the jihadists.

The surprise revelation by Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu appeared aimed at deflecting sustained criticism from Western countries that Turkey is failing to halt the flow of jihadists across its borders.

"Do you know who helped those girls? He was captured. He was someone working for the intelligence (service) of a country in the coalition," Cavusoglu told the A-Haber channel in an interview published by the official Anatolia news agency.

A Turkish government official told AFP that the agent was arrested by Turkey's security forces 10 days ago, and added that the person was not a Turkish citizen.

"We informed all the countries concerned," the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

"It's not an EU member, it's also not the United States. He is working for the intelligence of a country within the coalition," Cavusoglu added, without further specifying the nationality of the detained agent.

Cavusoglu said he had informed his British counterpart Philip Hammond of the development.

"He told me 'just as usual'," said Cavusoglu, without explaining further.

Close friends Kadiza Sultana, 16, and 15-year-olds Shamima Begum and Amira Abase, crossed into Syria after boarding a flight from London to Istanbul on February 17.

They took a bus from Istanbul to the southeastern Turkish city of Sanliurfa close to the Syrian border, from where they are believed to have crossed the frontier.

The disappearance of the girls has alarmed Britain and raised questions about what motivates such young people to go to Syria.

'Turkey always a scapegoat'

Turkey has long expressed irritation over the repeated criticism from the West that Ankara is not doing enough to stop jihadists and their sympathisers crossing into Syria.

The government official said the case of the missing girls showed closer cooperation was needed.

"Turkey is always blamed as a scapegoat but this case has shown that we need more cooperation in the fight against Daesh," the official said, using an alternative name for IS.

"The region's security cannot be put on Turkey's shoulders alone," the government official added.

Turkey accused Britain last month of a "reprehensible" delay in informing the Turkish authorities about the departure of the three teenage girls for its territory.

Along with the US and EU states, Arabian peninsula nations including Saudi Arabia and Qatar have been involved in the coalition against IS.

Canadian special forces and fighter jets are also deployed in the region, but a senior official in Ottawa told AFP the suspect "is not a Canadian citizen" and "was not employed by" its spy agency.

Turkey has played a limited role in the US-led coalition against the IS group due to differences with Washington, which for the moment prefers to focus on battling the jihadists while putting off any potential confrontation with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's regime.

One consequence of the discord with the United States is Ankara's refusal to open its Incirlik air base in southern Turkey for use by coalition combat aircraft fighting IS militants.

Cavusoglu on Thursday said Turkey would evaluate all its options, including the use of Incirlik, based on a "comprehensive strategy."

Ankara has repeatedly called for the creation of a safe zone inside Syria for refugees fleeing the government offensive.

Last month, the United States and Turkey signed a deal to train and equip thousands of moderate Syrian rebel forces.

US special envoy John Allen, who is coordinating international efforts against IS, is due to travel to Ankara this week to meet with Turkish officials after a visit to Italy, the US State Department said in a statement.

Turkey, Iraq pledge greater cooperation in fight against 'Islamic State'

Turkey and Iraq have pledged to work towards greater military cooperation in the fight against "Islamic State" militants. The ultra-radical Sunni fighters control large swathes of territory in northern Iraq and Syria.

Deutsche Welle, 25 Dec 2014


Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi told reporters at a joint press conference with his Turkish counterpart Ahmet Davutoglu in Ankara on Thursday that he had presented a "list" of requests for specific types of support in the fight against "Islamic State" militants.

Abadi described the IS as a "threat to the whole region."

Therefore, there is a need for cooperation. That's what we expect of Turkey," al-Abadi said. "Whether it is military, intelligence sharing, training or even arms - these were talked about," he added.

He also indicated that Turkey may be prepared to provide arms to forces loyal to the Iraqi government.

"There are preparations being made with the assistance of the Turkish side in providing us with weapons," Abadi said.

More military training possible

For his part, Davutoglu alluded to the fact that the Turkish military was already playing a role in the fight against the IS in Iraq, since it began training peshmerga forces last month. He also said the training could be extended to Iraq's National Guard.

"Our defense ministers will carry out a more detailed study on this issue. We already have provided support in terms of military training. We are ready to give whatever further assistance we can in these areas," Davutoglu said.

"We are ready to give any kind of support against terrorist organizations," he added, mentioning not just IS, but the Kurdistan Workers Party, (PKK), which from 1984 to 2013 fought an armed campaign against the Turkish state.


Although it is a member of the Western military alliance NATO, Turkey, which shares a 1,200-kilometer (756 mile) border with Syria, has declined to play a direct role in the US-led coalition, which has been conducting an air campaign against IS militants in both Syria and northern Iraq.

Iran supports Russian effort for Syria, says Muallem

Business Recorder - AFPMonday, 08 December 2014


TEHRAN: Syria's Foreign Minister Walid Muallem said on Monday during a visit to Tehran that Iran is backing the latest Russian effort to end his country's more than three-year conflict.

A delegation of Syrian dissidents tolerated by President Bashar al-Assad's regime will travel to Moscow this week for meetings, days after government members discussed a new peace process there.

A meeting with Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov will include talks on a political solution and the role of Syria-based opponents.

Muallem, after meeting his Iranian counterpart Mohammad Javad Zarif, said at a joint news conference: "I heard Mr Zarif support this plan. There is no doubt Iran will help achieve a political solution."

A plan by UN envoy to Syria Staffan De Mistura to "freeze" fighting in local areas, allowing aid deliveries and to lay the groundwork for peace talks, will also be discussed in Russia.

Iran is Assad's main regional ally, and Tehran has acknowledged sending military advisers to assist his forces in their fight against rebels and jihadist militants.

Assad last month called De Mistura's plan "worthy of study".

In Tehran, Zarif did not specifically refer to the Russian initiative, but said: "We have said from the beginning that we should find a political solution without destructive foreign intervention.

"All Syrian parties must be present. I hope these efforts bear fruit."

In Tehran, Muallem also referred to the battle against the militant Islamic State (IS) group, noting "there are ongoing contacts" between Iran, Iraq and Syria "because we all struggle against terrorism".

Iran has helped Iraq politically and militarily in its fight against IS extremists who currently control swathes of Iraq and Syria.

Tehran is not part of the US-led international coalition carrying out air strikes against IS in both countries.

Suspected supporters of 'IS' arrested in Germany

Police in Germany have arrested two suspected supporters of "Islamic State," which has made significant territorial gains in Iraq and Syria. The pair is alleged to have sent clothing and money to the militants.

Deutsche Welle, 18 Oct 2014


German prosecutors said the men were arrested Saturday in the western city of Aachen, close to the border with the Netherlands and Belgium.

The suspects have been identified only as 38-year-old Tunisian citizen Kamel Ben Yahia S. and 28-year-old Russian national Yusup G., due to Germany's privacy laws.

Authorities said the Tunisian national is believed to have been aiding the self-proclaimed "Islamic State" (IS) terror group from Germany since July 2013, and had provided the militants with 3,400 euros ($4,300) in cash and clothing worth over 1,100 euros. He is also accused of smuggling a 17-year-old boy from Germany, via Turkey, to Syria to fight with the jihadists. The Russian suspect allegedly participated in the smuggling. Both men are expected to appear before the Federal Court in Karlsruhe.

Police also raided the homes of 13 other people suspected of helping IS and the ultra-conservative Islamist rebel group Ahrar al-Sham in Syria.

Support for IS in Germany

Germany formally outlawed "Islamic State," previously known as ISIS or ISIL, on September 12, making it a crime to support the group, financially or otherwise. Germany's Interior Ministry has also suggested plans to revoke or mark the passports of suspected IS sympathizers to prevent them from leaving to fight in the Middle East, and later returning to Germany.

German Justice Minister Heiko Maas last week said there were more than 200 people being investigated in Germany on suspicion that they were members or supporters of IS. According to Germany's domestic intelligence agency, an estimated 400 IS sympathizers had left the country in recent months to join IS fighters in Iraq and Syria, and some of these had returned to Germany.

Relatives of the two British hostages murdered in Syria by members of the terrorist group Islamic State have joined forces to call upon the public to come together in a “single act of unity” to defeat the hate of those who took their lives.

Barbara Henning, wife of Alan Henning, and Mike Haines, whose brother David was the first British hostage to be killed by Isis, have released a public letter to the Guardian in which they call for the British people to embrace charity and human kindness as a way of reacting to the threat posed by the Islamist extremists in Syria and Iraq.

The letter says: “We are writing this letter because we will not allow the actions of a few people to undermine the unity of people of all faiths in our society. How we react to this threat is also about all of us. Together we have the power to defeat the most hateful acts. Acts of unity from us all will in turn make us stronger and those who wish to divide us weaker.

“David and Alan’s killers want to hurt all of us and stop us from believing in the very things which took them into conflict zones – charity and human kindness. We condemn those who seek to drive us apart and spread hatred by attempting to place blame on Muslims or on the Islamic faith for the actions of these terrorists.

“We have been overwhelmed by the messages of support we have received from the British public and others around the world. We call on all communities of all faiths in the coming weeks and months to find a single act of unity – one simple gesture, one act, one moment – that draws people together, as we saw in Manchester last week and as we are coming together in Perth today.”

The French journalist Nicolas Henin, who was held hostage for nine months by Isis in Syria, has spoken to ITV News. Henin, who was released in April, said he had built close relationships with both Henning and Haines, as well as the murdered American hostages James Foley and Steven Sotloff.

Henin said Henning was a “total innocent. He didn’t go to make any money. Alan was a kind of teddy bear – always willing to help the others.”

He added that David Haines left the army because “he was fed up with it” and “dedicated himself to humanitarian action. I find it really immoral to have killed them.” The remaining British hostage still being held by Isis, John Cantlie, has broadcast several lectures – apparently under duress – condemning the US and UK for retaliating against Isis with air strikes. Henin said he hoped the broadcasts might help save his life.

“I’m optimistic that the lectures the captors asked him to deliver will be a way for him to pay for his life. I hope his captors will understand what a good guy he is.”

David Haines was abducted in March last year by Isis while working in Syria for Acted, an aid group working in refugee camps in the north of the country. He was kidnapped near the Atmeh refugee camp near the Turkish border and the Syrian province of Idlib. A video of his murder was released by Isis on 13 September.

Henning was captured in December 2013, while helping with humanitarian relief. A video showing his murder was released by Isis on 3 October.

Nicholas Henin said watching the hostage crisis unfold was hard and his thoughts were with the families.

“Families always suffer even more than the hostages themselves. The worst thing is not to know anything, and not to be able to do anything. Families deserve a lot of respect and compassion.”

A memorial service will be held for Alan Henning on Saturday in the Perth congregational church. The Henning and Haines families have asked for donations to Hostage UK rather than floral tributes.

Matthew message (Channelled by Suzanne Ward, Sep 23, 2014)

Matthew Ward - September 23, 2014

Matthew Ward
Scotland election; 2017; pessimism in media reporting; message information sources; activity in Earth’s energy field of potential, linear time; Robin Williams; suicide; Islam, Christianity; ISIS; labels

With loving greetings from all souls at this station, this is Matthew. In addressing readers’ most recent questions, we cite one that is the essence of all: Was Scotland’s rejection of independence a setback for world progress? We don’t see it that way. We see as progress that there was an election, that the citizens of Scotland could, and did, peaceably make their case for sovereignty. Although the outcome disappointed forward-looking Scots, their forceful call for independence made clear to the government of Britain that there must be changes in their relationship not only with the people of Scotland, but also of Wales and Ireland.

For the moment it remains to be seen how quickly the proposed changes will come about and to what extent they will satisfy the citizens of those countries. In the longer term, governmentally-imposed regulations, restrictions, penalties and tax levies will cease everywhere. All of Earth’s peoples will know their divinity in the Oneness of All, their innate knowledge and powers as multidimensional beings, and everyone will respect the sanctity of everything within Creation.

We have been asked time and again why some off-planet sources give a timeframe for the occurrence of one thing or another and we do not. First, we urge you to be very discerning about channeled information, particularly announcements of NESARA or sudden wealth. And be aware that some information that purportedly is channeled actually is written and disseminated by individuals to intentionally misinform, discourage or frighten readers.

Now then, one reason we aren’t comfortable giving a time is the difficulty of putting into your linear construct something that exists in the continuum. We shall come back to that, but first we want to speak about our other reason because it is by far the more important. Your expectation of a specific happening sends forth positive energy that is tied to a certain time; if nothing significant is evident then, the energy turns into disillusionment, discouragement or even anger, and that vibratory downturn further delays the projected happening.

That said, we happily tell you that the decade of delay in your society’s advancement will end in your year 2017, a most propitious timeframe indeed with a celestial window similar to the one during the December 2012 solstice that eased Earth into fourth density. Your concept of time actually is energy in motion, and since Earth’s ascension route is into successively higher, or lighter, energy planes, the few interim years will pass with increasing speed. And, ever-heightening vibrations along the way will enable expanding realization of soul-level knowingness and powers of manifestation that you will heartily welcome.

This departure from our usual reluctance to mention a time is only in small part because the planetary alignment in 2017 is a given. Much more so, beloved family, it’s because your optimism and enthusiasm about Earth’s future will counterbalance the negativity of mainstream media’s reports on the Ebola epidemic, Ukraine, Afghanistan, Iraq’s tenuous new government, the long-running Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and especially at this time, efforts to halt the advancement of ISIS forces in Syria.

We aren’t underestimating the seriousness of those situations by saying that the repetitious films and reports with dire-sounding outlook are evoking the fear and pessimism that keep the populace constrained in third-density mentality. For instance, the projected three-year or longer effort to eliminate ISIS—it needn’t take that long!—and an Ebola epidemic that is out of control—it isn’t!

Despite media’s loss of credibility to some degree, the vast majority of Earth’s peoples believe “expert” assessments because they don’t know what you do. They don’t know that the circumstances they worry about would run their courses much more rapidly if positive energy streamers were propelling them. They don’t know that today’s mayhem is offering many millions the opportunity to complete third density karma, attain balance and evolve. They don’t know that they chose to be on Earth so they can participate in everything that is transpiring or that the outcome will be Earth’s Golden Age in full flourish.

We aren’t suggesting that you attempt to change anyone’s mindset—the pace of growing in conscious and spiritual awareness is every soul’s God-given right. It is that the light in your positive thoughts and feelings radiates out into the world and hastens the ending of all fighting, hardships and suffering. Light—love!—is the key to peace, health and prosperity.

A reader who interpreted “reference library” in a previous message to be our knowing “everything there is to know” asked why we attributed to colleagues in Nirvana what we stated about the Malaysian aircraft that was shot down in Ukraine. We did so because they were the source—and our knowledge base grows continuously. Some information comes from individuals in Nirvana who monitor happenings on Earth and some from highly-evolved souls in other spirit worlds, God, members of advanced civilizations, universal councils and master teachers.

We also derive information by observing Earth’s energy field of potential, which reflects the collective consciousness of all her residents—people, animals, plants and the Devic kingdom—and we report the field’s most significant activity at the time of our messages. But because every resident’s thoughts, feelings and actions affect the ebb and flow of energy, a situation may change considerably before our subsequent message.

Energy streamers influencing a situation may have strengthened and turned a possible outcome into a probable outcome. A situation that was developing into a probability may have reverted to a possibility because its streamers weakened. A surge of energy may have entered an area where movement had been barely perceptible. The intensifying momentum behind what had appeared to be a highly likely outcome may have fizzled completely because a strong burst of energy sideswiped it. Absolute certainties—predestined outcomes—are extremely rare, and Earth’s ascension out of third density and continuing to her destination in fifth is among the very few exceptions to energy’s vagaries.

At the moment the energy field is rife with activity. New energy streamers are emerging, some are changing directions, some are gaining momentum, some are dwindling to mere wisps; and all of the continuous movement is maneuvered by your collective thoughts, feelings and free will choices. This is why, even though the ultimate outcome of everything underway is known in the continuum because it is predestined, it isn’t possible to pinpoint in linear time exactly when a specific happening will manifest.

Occasionally a person’s passing touches the heart of the world, and so it is with Robin Williams. Our colleagues in Nirvana told us that a throng of thousands gathered to greet this soul who had given pleasure to so many during his Earth lifetime, and we hasten to assure readers who wrote that they prayed he wouldn’t be “penalized” for ending his life—he will not be.

Let us speak first about entry into Nirvana. The soul is liberated from the etheric body and the psyche, which arrive in the same condition as when the person left physical lifetime. Robin’s psyche was beset with such pervasive, painful depression that eventually it took control; he thought that only by ending his life could he escape the intolerable agony. His traumatized psyche needed to be healed, and this came with customized care and constant attention in one of Nirvana’s specialty areas that can be likened to your hospitals’ ICUs.

Our colleagues report that Robin’s psychic healing was swift due to cellular patterning of lifetimes in advanced civilizations, he had completed all major contract provisions and depression was not a contract choice, he is in the company of friends and family from his immediate past and previous lives, and he is joyously experiencing other wondrous aspects of life in Earth’s spirit world. We add our own knowledge, that lighted beings throughout the universe honor this highly evolved soul who had chosen to be generous in spirit, energy and resources and by far exceeded even that extraordinarily grand measure.

As for suicide’s pertinence to all souls, I asked my mother to give you the information I gave her many years ago. [The following is the “Suicide” chapter in Matthew, Tell Me about Heaven.]
Matthew, are people who die by suicide treated differently from the others? 
Yes and no. They are given the same personal, loving reception as all other arrivals, and every effort is extended to assist in their healing and adjustment just as it is with all other traumatized souls who need customized treatment. However, they enter at a special treatment station because their traumas need a unique kind of maximum care. 
I know you have heard that people who take their own lives face a punishing form of spirit life, but instinctively you doubt this is so. You are right, it is not so. It isn't fair or reasonable to lump all suicides into one category with one exacting judgment for all to face up to. 
In some cases the cause of suicide is severe body chemistry imbalance that impairs sound decision-making. In other cases, what you call insanity leads to suicide. Some people act out of extreme depression, perhaps due to loss of someone they considered vital to their lives, and depression takes over their rational thinking. Some take their lives on foolish dares, not believing the risk would result in death. Others act in despair of the moment rather than give the spirit time to be strengthened. Some end their lives to end intractable pain. None of those is more reason for harsh judgment than death attributed to heart failure or a broken neck.
Some people in relatively sounder condition consciously decide to end their lives. For some, this is in total capitulation to a series of adverse events, sometimes to provide for their families in the only way they feel is left to them, insurance money. Other people conclude that they cannot deal with situations they find too difficult or unsavory—perhaps their marital infidelity or financial or political corruption has been discovered, or they have been discredited by their peers. These calculated cases also are very sad because those people really don't wish to leave the whole of their Earth life, only those aspects they see as so overwhelming that in their opinion, death is the only remedy. 
Whatever their reason, people who commit suicide review their Akashic records with the same self-assessment and next lifetime planning process as any other soul. It is true that they incur an accumulated lesson by having to repeat all the lessons they chose but didn't complete, but there is no punishment or heavy karma levied due to self-inflicted death. Intent, or motive, is the basis for all determinations of self-judgment, and those people need not judge themselves any more severely than any others in this realm.
Thank you, Mother. Now then, readers in Europe have written concerns about the Muslim population in a number of their cities. Dear ones, they are not there to cause you unrest! They have responded to soul-level guidance to become acquainted with new geographic areas, cultures and philosophies; and because adjusting to dramatic newness isn’t an overnight feat, their clinging to what is familiar—their kinsmen, attire and religious traditions—is natural. They aren’t the only ones choosing to migrate, but they may be the most obvious. And, just as in any population, some individuals behave badly, and long-time residents in the area may mistakenly ascribe that behavior to all persons in the new population.

To readers who are endowing all Muslims with the same radical religious views as ISIS, or ISIL, we say: Please don’t! Some of you cited passages in the Quran that permit, even advocate killing your enemies. The Bible has a plethora of that same kind of material, and both books dreadfully distort the faiths’ original tenets.

For instance, the biblical reference to “born into sin”—not to mention the claim that Jesus died to save sinners!—is a grievous departure from ancient records of Jesus’ teachings. He taught that “sin” is but an error in judgment, and the only error is interfering with the growth of the soul, one’s own or another’s.

The ingredient of every soul is the pure love energy essence of Creator and this is the makeup of all newborns. When individuals are indoctrinated from infancy onward in hatred, vengeance and killing in the name of a religion, they are drawn to groups like ISIS. Thus, even though that militant force may think it is acting upon religious principles, it is not. It is acting out the result of minds inculcated with the right and responsibility to brutally defend and promulgate their beliefs, however in error those are.

It was much the same with Christianity. Consider the Inquisition, the Crusades, the persecution of indigenous peoples in Latin America by the Catholic conquistadores. Later, in the land that became the United States, Christians annihilated bison herds to deprive the native population of their source of sustenance and they reduced that population by massacres and disease.

Beloved family, all of your religions that began in the purity of spiritual truths departed from their beginnings to some extent, and the greatest deviations are in Islam and Christianity. Most karmic lessons incurred by generation after generation after generation stemmed from what was done in the name of religion, the most divisive, destructive aspect of life on Earth.

The process of world transformation and spiritual renewal is bringing to an end what long ages ago the darkness imposed upon hearts and minds: Fear or scorn whatever is different—destroy what you fear, disrespect and discriminate against differences you deem inferior. To insure that this would take firm hold within humankind, the darkness implanted the idea of labels to denote differences. Thus society came to regard—and often judge—individuals in accordance with their religious, national, cultural, ethnic, political, governmental, ideological, racial, professional, traditional, financial or social status.

We call you lightworkers—is that not also a label that designates a difference from those who are not? It is, but never is the intention separateness from other souls, much less elevation above any. Lightworker is knowing who you are—an inseparable part of God and all other souls—and what you are doing—sending forth the light that is freeing Earth’s peoples from those divisive constraints so that everyone can live together peacefully, respectfully, cooperatively and harmoniously. All souls on the planet will be living within the light, wherein labels have no place.

With unconditional love, we are at your side all along your ascension pathway.

LOVE and PEACE
