Trump spares smartphones, computers, other electronics from China tariffs
Current POTUS only has the power to enact tariffs because he declared a bogus wartime Emergency. And even the bogus emergency doesn't give him the power to enact tariffs -- it only specifies embargoes. -

Beyond the Veil: Philosopher Claims Heaven Is Real—and There Are Seven Levels of It
Beyond the Veil: Philosopher Claims Heaven Is Real—and There Are Seven Levels of It Philosopher and author Chris Carter believes he has found compelling proof that death is not the end but the beginning of an extraordinary journey. Inspired by a year spent in a supposedly haunted farmhouse in England, Carter’s interest in the supernatural has evolved into a decades-long pursuit, culminating in his latest work, The Case for the Afterlife. In it, he argues that consciousness survives the body, that reincarnation is real, and that the afterlife is composed of multiple realms—seven distinct “levels” of heaven. Carter, who studied at Oxford, describes minor but eerie events in the English farmhouse—like doors slamming inexplicably and a disembodied female voice—as the catalyst for his lifelong research into life beyond death. His investigations span near-death experiences, apparitions, children who remember past lives, and post-mortem communications with the deceased. Through these studies, he concludes that there is overwhelming evidence that consciousness not only continues after death but progresses through a series of spiritual planes. One of the most detailed visions of the afterlife comes from Frederic Myers, a 19th-century poet and founder of the Society for Psychical Research. Myers died at 57, yet reportedly communicated vivid post-death messages through psychics years later—most notably through Irish medium Geraldine Cummins, whom many considered credible. Myers outlined a structured journey of the soul through several realms, beginning with Earth and continuing through spiritual levels he named Hades, the third plane, Eido, the Plane of Flame, the Plane of Light, and finally Out-Yonder—described as a flight from the material universe. Carter explains that, according to Myers, the first realm after death, Hades, is not a place of torment but a resting ground. “I died in Italy, a land I loved, and I was very weary at the time of my passing. For me Hades was a place of rest, a place of half-lights and drowsy peace,” Myers said. From there, the soul moves to the third plane, which is much like Earth but far more beautiful. Here, souls live in communities shaped by shared values and desires, or in solitary environments crafted from their own imaginations. The fourth plane, Eido, is what Myers called the first true heaven—vivid, magnificent, and more stunning than anything imaginable on Earth. It is here that he claimed to reside. Beyond this lie the fifth, sixth, and seventh planes, each progressively more removed from earthly experience. In the sixth, beings no longer have physical forms but exist as pure white light, embodying the thought of their Creator. Not all souls, however, experience joy and serenity in the afterlife. Carter notes that the initial plane one enters depends on their moral and spiritual development on Earth. Those who lived selfish or harmful lives may find themselves in the darker, lower regions of the third plane. These areas are bleak and devoid of children, inhabited only by those stuck in a state of moral immaturity. “How long they remain in this nether region depends on how long they choose to remain in a selfish, morally undeveloped state,” Carter explains. Rejecting the conventional religious idea of heaven and hell, Carter portrays hell not as eternal torment but as a kind of mental anguish—a “fire of the mind.” He stresses that the journey toward the divine is long and gradual. When asked if souls encounter God soon after death, his answer is clear: “Absolutely not.” According to Myers’s messages, God exists at a level far beyond the initial planes. “We… only can come close in what he describes as the seventh plane,” Carter states. “Immediately after leaving the Earth, we occupy planes of existence not nearly exalted or advanced enough to closely approach the divine.” Even Sir Oliver Lodge, a prominent physicist and friend of Myers, supported the idea that the soul doesn’t awaken to full spiritual reality immediately. In the foreword to one of Cummins’ books, he wrote, “We are not transported to the full blaze of reality all at once.” Ultimately, Carter’s work challenges us to reconsider what lies beyond death. Not an abrupt end, he suggests, but a profound and ongoing evolution—one in which our choices in this life determine the course of our soul’s next steps. Based on a report by Daily Mail 2025-04-13 -

All appointments in all professions should be on MERIT alone. If 'minorities' are under represented, then they have to try harder. Merit the only criteria please . . .- 1
