Edition No126 | 12-04-2025 - Trumponomics is bringing results. Uncertainty, chaos and retaliation. China has hiked tariffs on US imports to 125 percent. This rate is likely high enough to effectively dampen US access to the Chinese market. The implication are not clear, and it's unlikely that anyone in the Trump administration has modeled this out in any detail. This announcement comes after the White House clarified it was imposing tariffs totaling 145% on China. This combines the previously announced 125-percent rate with a 20-percent import tax levied for fentanyl smuggling. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt defended Trump's aggressive tariff policy by citing similar measures he took against China during his first term. Evidence of the success from these original policies was not provided. “He effectively implemented tariffs in his first term while driving down the cost of living in this country. And that's what he's focused on doing again,” she said, repeating a GOP talking point. Economists, including from the United Nations have characterized Trump's first-term trade war a “lose-lose” situation. There is evidence that both the US and China's economies suffered losses, but little evidence for economic growth in the US as a potential benefit.----------LINKS:https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/liveblog/2025/4/11/trump-tariffs-live-china-hikes-tariffs-on-us-goods-as-trade-war-escalateshttps://news.sky.com/story/trump-tariffs-stock-markets-china-trade-war-latest-live-13209921https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/apr/11/trump-china-tariffs-california-farmshttps://edition.cnn.com/2025/04/11/politics/trump-china-trade-war-tariffs-strategy/index.htmlhttps://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/apr/09/china-unlikely-to-blink-first-as-trumps-trade-war-enters-uncharted-new-territory----------Easter Pysanky: Silicon Curtain - https://car4ukraine.com/campaigns/easter-pysanky-silicon-curtainCar for Ukraine has joined forces with a group of influencers, creators, and news observers during this special Easter season.

This is a must-watch interview for anyone trying to make sense of the chaos wrought by US President Donald Trump's moves on tariffs. Johann Human spent his career in International Trade, including 17 years as an SA secondment to the Geneva-based World Trade Organisation. He provides a rare insider's view of what is happening today - how the massive trade imbalances were always destined to end in the kind of explosion we are witnessing. He also shares some practical advice on how South Africa needs to position itself to avoid becoming collateral damage in a trade war caused by decades of Chinese outsmarting the Americans.

Political commentator Benny Johnson joins Patrick Bet-David, Tom Ellsworth, Vincent Oshana, and Adam Sosnick to discuss Trump's pause on tariffs and proposed 125% tariffs on China, Kevin O'Leary's bold call for 400% tariffs, Jamie Dimon's latest U.S. recession prediction, and Anderson Cooper trending for misgendering a civil rights attorney on air.------

(April 10, 2025)After Trump's pause, the EU delays retaliation to allow talks. Rich Los Angeles neighborhood's surveillance tech gift to LAPD sparks drama. Officials arrived, denied entry at L.A. schools amid immigration fears. America is backsliding toward its most polluted era.

The EU has paused retaliation tariffs against US. Spokesman for European Commission, Olof Gill, said the EU was ready to negotiate President Trump has hiked tariffs on Chinese goods by 125%, and the WTO is warning that trade between the U.S. and China could plunge by as much as 80%. We hear from the Asia Development Bank. And how are businesses and economies there coping as global trade routes shift and uncertainty grows? We speak to Dr Stavros Nicolaou, who sits on the executive committee of the Aspen pharmaceutical company in South Africa Davina Gupta presents

The market's been swinging like it's had three espressos and no breakfast—and Trump's tariff rollercoaster is to blame. After tanking the economy with massive trade threats, he's now backing down on some of them, trying to calm the storm he created. Spoiler: it's not working. But while the market melts down, Trump's doing something even more alarming: weaponizing the DOJ to investigate former officials who dared to speak out against him—Miles Taylor and Chris Krebs among them. We're diving into the economic mess and the creeping authoritarianism. Because tariffs are bad—but turning federal law enforcement into a revenge squad? That's much, much worse.

AP correspondent Laurence Brooks reports on Europe's pause on retaliatory tariffs on the US.

Trump's slapped a 104% tariff on Chinese goods—yes, you read that right—and now China's hitting back with their own round of retaliatory tariffs. The result? Skyrocketing prices, a shaken stock market, and economists nervously whispering...recession. It's economic brinkmanship at its dumbest, and everyday Americans are the ones stuck with the bill. Don goes live to break down the numbers, the fallout, and how this mess could spiral even further. Spoiler: it's not looking great out there. Buckle up, Lemon Nation—this is going to hurt.

This riveting legal battle exposes the persistent challenges women face in male-dominated industries, even at companies that publicly champion diversity.Having built her career at prestigious institutions like JPMorgan Chase and UBS, armed with advanced degrees and Fulbright Scholar status, Rowe brought exceptional expertise to Google Cloud. Despite consistently exceeding performance expectations, she discovered troubling disparities: male colleagues with similar backgrounds were hired at higher levels with better compensation, while she was passed over for a vice president position in favor of a less qualified male candidate.When Rowe dared to speak up about these discrepancies, she alleges Google responded with thinly veiled retaliation. The subsequent legal showdown involved complex claims under multiple discrimination statutes. Google vigorously denied wrongdoing, claiming any differences in position or pay stemmed from legitimate factors unrelated to gender.The jury's nuanced verdict validated key aspects of Rowe's experience, finding Google liable for gender discrimination under New York City law and for retaliation under both city and state statutes. The $1.15 million judgment — including a striking $1 million in punitive damages — sends a powerful message about corporate accountability in workplace discrimination cases. This landmark decision demonstrates that even the most prominent tech companies must answer for unfair treatment, potentially inspiring others facing similar challenges to pursue justice.Have you witnessed or experienced workplace discrimination?

Doug McHoney (PwC's International Tax Services Global Leader) is joined by Tom Patten, a London-based US International Tax Partner at PwC. Tom focuses on inbound investment into the U.S. and returns to the podcast for a timely discussion on Sections 891 and 899, two lesser-known but increasingly important provisions in the international tax landscape.  Doug and Tom discuss the resurgence of Section 891 in light of a January 2025 executive order that directs Treasury to identify discriminatory or extraterritorial foreign taxes. They cover how Section 891 operates, potential implications for non-US citizens, and its interaction with treaties. The episode then turns to proposed Section 899 and a new House proposal aimed at modifying the base erosion and anti-abuse tax (BEAT). Tom and Doug examine how these retaliatory measures differ, overlap, and might evolve. They close with practical advice for multinational taxpayers navigating an uncertain legislative environment and the future of Pillar Two negotiations. 

Why is the Supreme Court making some of its most impactful decisions behind closed doors? In this episode, Robin Frazer Clark and Lester Tate welcome Professor Stephen Vladeck, author of the bestselling book The Shadow Docket, to discuss the rise of stealth rulings by the U.S. Supreme Court. Learn why unsigned and unexplained decisions—affecting everything from immigration to abortion—are becoming more common and why every American should be paying attention.

In a statement, China's commerce ministry has responded to Donald Trump's threats to impose an additional 50 percent tariff on Chinese goods by saying Beijing will "fight to the end". With the latest US threat, import duties on China could total as much 104 percent, further ramping up the trade war between the world's two biggest economies. In this edition, we look at what Beijing is doing to support its domestic market, for instance by loosening its grip on its currency.

President Trump confirmed plans to add another 50% to China's tariffs if the country doesn't lift its retaliatory tariffs on the U.S. Markets saw a slight pop following the news, which Kevin Green believes adds risk to further downside. He urges investors to stay alert to tariff risk from China over the next 24 to 48 hours. Additionally, Kevin turns to "extreme levels" in the VIX and its potential for an upside blowout.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

If there is one thing that has dominated conversations over the past few weeks in the world of new construction and development, it has been the impact of tariffs and global trade on new construction projects. Yesterday the President outlined his administration's plan for tariffs by country, along with some special provisions for the automotive industry. We also don't know what the international response will be from China, Germany, Japan, Korea Vietnam and many others. There were a few countries that have been making headlines over the past two months, specifically Canada and Mexico. Yet these two countries were noticeably absent from the countries subject to the newly announced tariffs from the Rose Garden address on April 2.That isn't to say that Canada and Mexico are fully off the hook when it comes to tariffs. The automotive, steel and aluminum tariffs are still in place. The White House fact sheet says that tariffs affecting Canada and Mexico will not be stacked on top of existing tariffs. As you can imagine, this is a fluid situation and we might see further clarifications in the coming days and weeks. But that is what we know right now.As I've been saying for some time, the biggest impact on real estate investors will be the flow of capital in the bond market which directly affects the cost of borrowing for real estate investors. Retaliation from trading partners that impacts treasury yields will have a larger impact than any tariffs. So far since the start of the week, we have seen treasury yields on the 10 year bond fall from 4.36% to 4.07%. In addition to monitor pricing due to tariffs, I'll be paying attention to the bond market. -------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)  

The United States has confirmed it will impose a blanket 10 per cent tariff on all Australian goods - but targeted import levies on pharmaceuticals haven't materialised yet. The tariff announcement has spurred a political debate about how to respond to Donald Trump, and a potential global trade war.

Donald Trump's “Liberation Day” just delivered a pretty nasty blow to the global trading system. The United States has decided to impose a 10 percent minimum tariff on all imports coming into the country. The EU, and other top trading partners like China, Japan, and Vietnam, got hit with even higher rates. What kind of economic fallout can we expect from these tariffs? And what is Europe going to do about it?Join us on our journey through the events that shape the European continent and the European Union.Production: By Europod, in co production with Sphera Network.Follow us on:LinkedInInstagram Hosted on Acast.

President Donald Trump imposed the steepest American tariffs in a century, stepping up his campaign to reshape the global economy and unnerving investors who see a trade war as a risk to US growth. Trump announced Wednesday he will apply at least a 10% tariff on all exporters to the US, with even higher duties on some 60 nations to counter large trade imbalances with the US. That includes some of the country’s biggest trading partners, such as China — which now faces a tariff of well above 50% on many goods — as well as the European Union, Japan and Vietnam. We get reaction from Bloomberg's Shawn Donnan, Senior Economics Writer for Bloomberg News in Washington. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is urging US trading partners against taking retaliatory steps against Trump’s new set of tariffs. He spoke with Bloomberg's Annmarie Hordern following the tariff announcement. Plus - China vowed to retaliate after being hit with Donald Trump’s biggest tariffs yet, which threaten to decimate trade between the world’s largest economies. The Chinese Ministry of Commerce condemned the US levies and pledged to hit back with unspecified measures in a statement Thursday, adding that the sweeping tariffs threatened the stability of global supply chains.

If my life is in danger, or someone in my environment is in physical or psychological danger from an aggressor, I will defend myself, or them, without question. But when it comes to defending my integrity, my name, my work, pride, or anything else, I will simply walk away even if affected by it.Sometimes, I do get affected, there is an emotional charge to being “betrayed” by someone who professed their friendship, for example. Or someone who goes behind my back and speaks against me so that they are liked by others, while pretending to be my friend and supporter. Or someone who would viciously attack me on the internet (often anonymously of course), in order to feel important, or get some attention, or because my power and influence threatens them. It does upset me sometimes. But instead of reacting to that upsetness, what I do is process it, the disappointment and pain, and continue on my path.It's hard though. When we receive a negative energy of engagement in the form of insults or attacks it often incurs a cost. This cost is the effect it has on the “small self”.And I DO have a small self. It's not very influential in my life, but it does affect me at times. It wasn't always there, but at some point in linear time I created it in order to understand what others are going through in this life. Most of the suffering, stress, pain, fights, and conflicts we experience are due to the small self in us and/or others.Take a look at a conflict you are in right now. Step back and see if it has any bearing to your physical survival. If it does not, then it's about the small self.Some cultures will teach that people should kill to defend their pride, their honor or their family's honor. Or be severely punished if they dishonor themselves or their family. But what is honor, and pride but an egoic projection of importance?Often, we use the story of all the physical, emotional and psychological attacks we have received throughout our lives to validate our own brutality.The nature of attacksMost personal (non life threatening) attacks have very basic patterns. Three of these patterns are:1. The making oneself right by making the other wrong.2. Validating oneself by invalidating another.3. Reacting to an unconscious (or conscious) fear.In my experience, number one is the most prevalent in our society. It is, in fact, encouraged. We find this being used in politics and debates of all sorts in science, religion, and social organizations and think tanks around the world.More than once, I have received messages and emails “demanding that I respond” to some claim or other that I am [enter comment making me wrong here]. Or that I defend or validate my views on things. I don't respond to or answer these messages now, but have done so in the past due to giving in to external pressure. I tend not to give in to external pressures these days.Recently, a friend of mine told me that he has seen that the more powerful, confident and capable I appear to become as a publicly known individual, the more vicious and insidious the attacks get. This is simply a reflection of number 3 above. People are afraid of influential individuals. They are afraid of power (and with good cause), and are afraid of being conned. The energetic attack (at a mystical level) has also increased tremendously every month since I accepted the mission to become publicly known so as to deliver the message of empowerment to the masses.How we deal with mystical attacks is pretty much the same as we deal with overt attacks. We process any effect they may have in us, and we move on. Retaliation, defense, or “justice” is irrelevant. and would only feed into the attack and the lowering of our vibrational frequency.If we spend any time defending, attacking our attackers or getting payback, we are simply feeding the aggression cycle. All that energy is much better spent inspiring and empowering others.How does observing our defenses empower the planet?Conflict and war, at any level, lowers our human collective vibrational frequency. It doesn't matter whether you are shouting at your dog, or shooting bullets at an enemy. The energy of conflict goes against our nature and it is only there through heavy programming.The past week, as I was recuperating from long hours on airplanes, I watched several shows on TV. I was shocked at the normalization of violence. And the brutality of the violence depicted.In one of them, a film about a gangster family in witness protection relocated to France, showed children and adults being brutally beaten up by the protagonists. It was supposed to be funny because the kids and adults who were brutalized had said something wrong to the protagonists, or done some minor wrong to them. In another show, an extremely popular TV series, the level of violence was simply incredible. It included rape, sexual abuse, brutal murders of children, men and women, and extreme psychological abuse. All “normalized” in some fantasy time and geographical area.Reality TV is popular because it is conflict driven. Violence of many kinds are depicted, even physical fights.And it doesn't stop at TV shows, most computer games are about killing other people, creatures or monsters.But here's the thing, the programming to be and act from a place of aggression and violence cannot succeed unless we subscribe to it. Once we see that it is simply programming, that it is indeed an attempt by a faction of the human collective to walk a low vibrational frequency and highly addictive path, then we can simply switch that programming off.How do we switch it off? We make a list, and observe all the areas where we feel wronged, where we are defending ourselves, where we are attacking others. We observe each item on our list until we see the larger picture. Until we are no longer energetically affected by the conflict or attack. Until we no longer “want to do something about this”, to bring it to justice. But remember, if it involves you or someone else's physical or psychological survival or wellbeing, do get yourself or the person under attack away if possible and if not possible, then defend, act and protect. Why? Because survival of our person is different to the survival of our small self.Do note that aggression and conflict are highly addictive. They are dramatic, and we love drama. Drama and conflict do not exist outside of the small self. The fact that they do not exist outside of the small self is often the reason why we hold on to the small self so strongly.Our reality, our planet and species, still supports low level experiences such as war, conflict, drama and such. This is a fact. Our species is empowered with the choice. It is up to us whether we want to hold on to those low level games or not. That's why there is such heavy programming happening via our media, culture and religions, to hold onto the small games. We are exposed to them and the effect is the same as someone being exposed to crack cocaine for the first time. We either become totally addicted to it, refuse to ingest it, or “recover” after being addicted to it for a long or short time.We can help our species to drop the addiction by observing it within ourselves, and empowering others to enable them to observe it within themselves. Just observing, without any intent, expands our awareness on the facts behind this addiction at a global scale.Do share this article with anyone whom you feel will benefit and be empowered by it, send to your lists and reblog. The more of us who act by sharing this information, the easier the load will become and the faster our species will expand in awareness.The discussion doesn't stop here—listen to the full podcast episode for unfiltered insights from Inelia and our panelists.

A lack of clarity from tariff policy will equate to chaos in the markets, says Charles Schwab's Jeffrey Kleintop. He notes the recent rallies as signs of hope for narrowing uncertainty in response to today's tariff deadline. Jeffrey adds that retaliation from other countries will lead to some red arrows but doesn't anticipate that happening until next week.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

60,000 angry men attack a saint—and get reduced to ashes by their own ignorance – this epic tale from the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam becomes the backdrop for a powerful conversation on radical forgiveness, spiritual transformation, and the illusiory nature of enemies. Raghunath and Kaustubha unpack ancient wisdom through the lens of Lao Tzu, Martin Luther King Jr., and Nelson Mandela to reveal one unshakable truth: real sages see no enemies, only souls. From corrupt olive oil empires to broken relationships, from ego battles to misused power—even from within religious life—this episode goes deep into how spiritual maturity always means rising above.
