G8 Governments Agree to Share Tax Records

By Gerard Ryle and Marina Walker Guevara, ICIJ.org – June 18, 2013

http://www.icij.org/blog/2013/06/governments-agree-share-tax-records

Move by G8 leaders, in part, follows ICIJ’s massive Offshore Leaks investigation.

Leaders of the G8 major economies have agreed on new measures to tackle the lack of transparency associated with offshore tax havens.

They include sharing access to information on their residents’ tax affairs and forcing shell companies – often used to exploit investment loopholes – to identify their real owners.

The BBC reports the measures are designed to combat illegal evasion of taxes, as well as legal tax avoidance by large corporations that make use of loopholes and tax havens.

The move, in part, follows a massive reporting project by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists – dubbed Offshore Leaks – on the role of offshore tax havens in the global economy.

EU Commissioner Algirdas Semeta said the Offshore Leaks investigation by ICIJ and its partners had transformed tax politics and amplified political will to tackle the problem of tax evasion.

“I personally think Offshore Leaks could be identified as the most significant trigger behind these developments … It has created visibility of the issue and it has triggered political recognition of the amplitude of the problem”, he told EU Observer.

The BBC reported the G8 leaders agreed that multinationals should tell all tax authorities about what taxes they pay and where.

“Countries should change rules that let companies shift their profits across borders to avoid taxes,” the communique said.

It follows separate revelations about the ways in which several major firms – including Google, Apple, Starbucks and Amazon – have minimized their tax bills.

Illegal activities, including tax evasion and money laundering, will be tackled by the automated sharing of tax information.

The BBC reported that ahead of the summit, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), proposed to share tax information by building on an existing system set up by the US and five major European economies, but on a global scale.

“This international tax tool is going to be a real feature of ensuring that we get proper tax payment and proper tax justice in our world,” said the British Prime Minister, David Cameron, who claimed that it meant “those who want to evade taxes have nowhere to hide”.

The OECD includes all of the G8 members except Russia.

Among the information to be shared will be who actually ultimately benefits from the shadowy shell companies, special purpose companies and trust arrangements often employed by tax evaders and money launderers.

Earlier in the day, the British Chancellor George Osborne unveiled plans for a UK central register of companies and their true owners. But the G8 communique did not contain a firm pledge from other G8 countries to create similar company registries and to make them public, as transparency advocates had sought.

On Saturday, ICIJ published the Offshore Leaks Database which partially opens up for the first time the company registries of 10 offshore jurisdictions. The data, which include information on more than 100,000 offshore companies, is part of a leak of 2.5 million secret files to ICIJ.

Last week the UK also unveiled a deal with its crown dependencies and overseas territories – including the Channel Islands, Gibraltar and Anguilla – to start sharing more information on which foreign companies bank their profits there.

Speaking during the summit, Mr Osborne said more progress had been made on reforming the global tax system in the past 24 hours than the “past 24 years”.

However those campaigning again tax evasion said the G8 had not gone far enough.

Porter McConnell, manager of the Financial Transparency Coalition, said: ”People in rich and poor nations alike are looking to their leaders to resist vested interests and pursue policies that tackle corruption and rampant tax dodging. Today G8 leaders have taken some significant steps in an effort to make the rules of the global economy fair for everyone.

“But it is troubling that there is no G8-wide agreement on the introduction of beneficial owner registries, let alone that they be made public. Over the past several months, crimes that rely on financial secrecy, such as tax evasion, money laundering and trafficking, have become front-page news. Illicit finance is one of the most pressing issues of our time: it’s robbing citizens of developing countries and G8 countries alike.”

Aisha North: The Manuscript of Survival – Part 326 – Solstice Message



Aisha North Manuscript of SurvivalThe Manuscript of Survival – Part 326 – Solstice Message, channeled by Aisha North, June 20, 2013 at http://aishanorth.wordpress.com

As you are perhaps aware of, tomorrow (June 21) is another pivotal day for your planet. For once again the Sun will make another announcement in her perpetual journey around your globe. Or rather, it is not the Sun, but your planet who will reach an apex of her yearly travels around your shining sister, and as such, you will reach what is referred to as the Summer Solstice in the northern hemisphere.

And then, you will all be able to savour the longest day of the year, before the balance starts to tip the other way, and the days will once again start to shorten. Of course, for those of you living on the opposite end of this beautiful planet, you will be able to savour the thought that it is your turn to look forward to the lengthening of the days from then on.

And why do mention this in length? Because Dear Ones, tomorrow is also a day that energetically has been marked off in your calendars. Again, this will serve as a focal point for so many, and even if the date in itself does not carry much significance, the very fact that the Sun is playing a major part in all of your minds tomorrow will also serve to open you all up to the benevolent energies that will flow down on you all on that day.

For the Solstice has always been considered as a major power node for humanity, all the way back to the very first beings, as the subtleties of the changing Light have always signaled to the human body. So we ask you all to be aware of this outside influence tomorrow, perhaps a little bit more than usual.

You have spent the last period very much by going within and connecting with your center, so tomorrow we ask you all to make sure not to forget to connect without. In other words, as you sit down in silence in whatever mode you choose, make sure that you do open up to the magnificence that surrounds you on all sides in the form of this energetic grid that is pulsing with life as it holds you safely in its embrace. And as tomorrow is such a powerful part of your ingrained consciousness, it will be utilized to expand this connection even further.

So again we say, make sure that you take time to celebrate your efforts by sitting down and opening up for these Celestial blessings that will rain down on you all on the day of the Solstice, a day of celebration and ceremony all over your globe. We know you will all feel how you are a part of something that not only spans your globe, but that is intricately linked much further afield, even further than your shining sister, the great Sun.

So thank her, and thank yourselves, and thank All of Creation, as you are all an intrinsic part of this wonderful web of life that suffuses every part of you and everything that you see around you.

We thank you all for what you bring to this grid, and tomorrow we want you all to open up to the gifts that will be given through the benevolent rays of your friendly neighbour, the Sun.

Denise Le Fay: Here Comes the June 2013 Solstice



imageDenise Le Fay: Here Comes the June 2013 Solstice, June 18, 3012 at: http://deniselefay.wordpress.com/

Just a quick note about a few things—

1) Is that today, June 18, 2013, while carrying my trash outside to my trash barrels in my carport (the poor man’s garage), I couldn’t help but notice that the Light coming through the Sun has amplified yet again. I’ve watched this process unfolding with the Sun for decades now, and every time I see the brilliant, higher frequency, star-like silver-white Light illuminating everything more than it had been the day before, I know we’re in the midst of another substantial shift up a few more energetic Stair Steps.

This of course is wonderful news despite the fact that these higher frequency Light Energies typically make us feel like utter poo for a while. Whatever… who cares… just get a Divine Cosmic Photonic Soul sunburn for a few hours or days. We’ve been doing it for over a decade already and look at how we’re radiating Light now!

Seriously, I find the timing of this latest Light increase coming through our Sun and then to and through us to be another indicator of what the Third Trimester (June 20, 2013 Solstice through to September 22, 2013 Equinox) will bring; a whole lot more higher frequency Light Energies! Why? Probably because the “baby” does so much very fast growing during the Third Trimester.

As both the pregnant “mommy” and as the developing “baby”, are YOU ready for a whole lot of even faster growth during the last part of June, all of July and August, and the first half of September 2013 individually internally and externally? Of course you are, even when you think you aren’t you are. We all are. The great news is that we’re finally going to start actually seeing, recognizing larger positive changes in ourselves and our consciousness and abilities.

Many of us have been experiencing some new advanced Consciousness Tools manifesting within us during the Second Trimester. This will continue but increase and speed-up throughout the Third Trimester so be ready for plenty more changes within yourself, your “reality”, your consciousness, and your methods of perception and creativity. And also more anomalies or phenomena because of these changes.

This is us starting to consciously embody more of the “baby” during the last trimester. How you’ve perceived time, power, other dimensions, other Beings, ETs, Angelic Beings etc. and much more will expand to new levels so be prepared to let go of whatever you may need to during these summer months (in the Northern Hemisphere) so that more of the NEW higher can come in and replace the old lower Consciousness Tools. Some of these changes you’ll expect–others will surprise you which will be fun and exciting.

image2) Is the old Stair Steps business. The Divine Cosmic Photonic Sun Light shines on everyone–everyone standing on the Stair Step they’re currently standing on. How about making an effort to show some respect to all of the others standing on different Stair Steps both above and below where you are today? How about we all do this for ourselves and for each other? I bet we’ll each individually shine a lot brighter if we all collectively do this, especially during this important time of the June 2013 Solstice and entrance into the final Third Trimester. The profound changes that just doing that will cause and also assist everyone, is more than most can comprehend.

I’m very well-aware of how hard it’s been throughout the entire spring months (the Second Trimester) but this is us coming down to the wire people. Grin and bear it, go into your Heart, push through, and please, lets all give each other some room and respect because we’re all standing on different Stair Steps trying to do this thing in our individual ways and levels of development and awareness.

image3) Some people are having one hell of a difficult time at this point because they’re trying to maintain their old familiar ways of doing/thinking/feeling/believing/working etc. but the higher frequency Light Energies are so much larger, faster vibrating, and more complex that it’s nearly shattering them mentally and/or emotionally. Do your best to stay out of their way if they meltdown, and hope you don’t have to interact much with them because it’s nearly impossible because of the growing gap. This too is part of the Ascension Process and ongoing energetic and everything else changes and some handle it better than others is all.

Again, make room for and have respect for everyone else going through what they’re going through… gracefully or otherwise! I remember Barbara Marciniak’s channeled Pleiadians great term of ‘Fly or fry’. Some are flying and some are frying. Stand clear of the frying chaos and insanity as much as you can and radiate from your flying High Heart while keeping your heart consciousness on the high end results. Don’t worry about or focus too much on the September 2013 Equinox as we’re still in the game and the clocks running. We’ll talk more about the September 2013 Equinox and beyond in the coming weeks but for now, honestly and quickly deal with whatever it is that’s presenting itself to you in this important transitional Now Moment.

Denise

This is from Wes Annac's personal blog:

Astral Travels: Whistleblower Blessings
[20Jun2013]

The following was written for the ongoing “astral travels” section of The Aquarius Paradigm Weekly Newsletter.

This week, we’re going to use the blessing abilities we’re beginning to develop, to bless the various whistleblowers and people who have come out against corruption and tyranny, sometimes at great personal risk.

Edward Snowden is just the latest example of a courageous soul working to expose things they’ve witnessed and been a part of that they were not in agreement with. All over the world and for decades, brave individuals have stepped-up and risked their personal sense of security in the name of exposing the crimes of the cabals, and it’s for this and plenty of other reasons that these souls deserve our blessings.

Specifically, we’re going to work to put protection around these souls. We’re going to bless a few specific corruption-exposers in a manner intended to keep them as safe and secure as possible, and our blessings are intended to radiate-out to every person whose exposed corruption on this world.

I received this idea in part from Steve Beckow, who made a call to Lightworkers to send our good vibrations to Edward Snowden, and I figured it wouldn’t hurt to integrate such an idea into our astral exercise this week, as well as expand-upon it. Again; rather than just blessing one individual, we’re going to bless a handful of courageous whistleblowers and people who have worked to expose corruption.

We’re learning how powerful our blessing and healing energies are as we expand-upon our perceptions of them, and now, we’re going to reintroduce ourselves to the ability to put energetic and Lighted protection around an individual or small collective of souls. In doing so, each one of us is intended to unlock a greater understanding of our personal strength and ability to provide and be a conduit for not only Love and abundance, but for pure protection as well.

When we can affirm that our energies go to protecting another from the lower vibrations manifested in the form of those who would come after them (authority being the case with various whistleblowers), we’ll understand the strength of what we’re doing in greater ways. We’ll also help a myriad of souls who have themselves done much for the evolution of the Earth.

To begin our exercise, we’re going to first visualize our individual selves standing/floating on a beautiful beach.

Look to your left, and to your right. The beach extends out for miles it seems, and behind you, beautiful jungle-Life is brimming. At this very moment, it’s just you and your beautiful, spiritual beach. Merge with every facet of this beach momentarily, and feel the various elements that make it up.

Feel yourselves as the water splashing onto the beach from the sea. Feel yourselves as the sand; the air; the sky; feel the deepest and most innate, spiritual connection to every element and aspect of the harmonious Creation around you. Ease into the purest feelings and perceptions you can, as you’re truly meant to feel and radiate such purity.

You maintain a constant, affirmed connection with this land. This being an etheric land, you can also change aspects of it if you wish to. For example; imagine a sandcastle manifesting-up from the sand, and standing beautifully. Visualize a flock of birds flying overhead, and Create for yourselves what type of birds they’re to be.

Perhaps some of you visualized seagulls; perhaps cardinals; perhaps some of you envisioned a nearly-random array of different types of birds, all flying harmoniously in their one large flock. Every visualization you make is real and can be worked-with and altered in these realms, as they’re all aspects of your harmonious existence with every facet of the Creation around you.

This is your personal space to Create and enjoy in, and it’s from here that we’ll perform our whistleblower-blessings.

Notice as a very large group of people/spirits begins fading into view, floating with you on this beach. This is your group of fellow subscribers and while you’ve all existed in this land individually up until now, you’ve been apart from each other per your individual visualizations. We’re now to proceed with the exercise as a clan.

Notice somewhere in this crowd, a bearded young man with quite long, reddish hair, wearing a shirt with the “Batman” symbol on it and light-tan khaki shorts. When you find this soul, greet Wes Annac with a big smile. That’s right: I am and have always been a part of these exercises with our subscriber group, and the specific description I gave was because, well, that’s what I wore on the day of writing this.

Now – notice as we all begin convening together, that in the beach-area to the right of us, the sand moves and forms into something.

Visualize as seven large squares are drawn-in to the sand to the right of us, each containing a name written in the sand. Float or walk over to the seven squares, and read the names contained in each one:

1. Edward Snowden

2. Julian Assange

3. Bradley Manning

4. Bill Brockbrader

5. Daniel Ellsberg

6. Jeffrey Wigand

7. Sgt. Clifford Stone

Each of these souls has worked diligently to expose things that have been covered up, and every whistleblower or person who’s worked to expose illegal cover-ups deserves and will hopefully receive the blessing and protection we’re about to give. We’re going to bless these seven individuals, and the blessings we give will radiate-out and hopefully affect every whistleblower for the ultimate good.

Visualize as our subscriber-group forms a large circle around the seven drawn-in squares containing the names. As our circle comes to a finish, affirm that the purest of Creator Light be drawn up from within you. It’s important to remember that you’re a constant vessel for Creator energy, and it only takes a request to bring such energy through, for it to spill out of you in abundance.

We are very powerful beings with incredible potential, and we’re to utilize such potential now as every last one of us visualizes and affirms the purest streams of colorful Light coming up through the “spines” our etheric bodies. Affirm/visualize the “silvery stream” of energy we learned to visualize from the Hathors, or utilize any other visualization of this energy that works for you.

Either way, really feel this energy coming through you. Rather than it being added to our many-times-used collective energy “cloud”, we’re going to affirm that it forms a protective squared barrier around each name and each individual whom our Light is intended to help protect.

Whereas the seven names were inscribed in the sand from within drawn-in squares, there are now strong and transparent squares of pure protection-energy rising up from the sand and soaring into the astral sky, becoming seven square pillars of Light and protection for each individual and for every whistleblower.

My friends, we’ve done it.

We’ve sent our blessings to the seven referenced corruption-exposers, and we’ve worked to put a protective, Lighted barrier around their energies. The hopes of this exercise are of course for our blessings to provide real protection for each of these individuals, and time will tell of what we hope to be the ultimately-positive fates of Edward Snowden, Julian Assange, Bradley Manning and Brill Brockbrader specifically.

These individuals certainly don’t deserve to sit in prison for their diligent acts of exposure, and if our blessing energies have any say in it, they will suffer no further negative consequences for what are heroic actions and actions that are needed for this planet.

Now that we’ve performed our blessing and set-up our protective barrier, you’re as always, encouraged to spend some more time in this lovely realm we’ve done our work from this week.

You’re strongly encouraged to put your time and energy in this realm to good use and bless a plethora of other souls or representations, and for now, I wrap-up this week’s exercise with the satisfaction of knowing that, at the very least, we did our best to help the souls we’ve blessed.

This concludes this week’s astral discussion.
