More than 50 Christian converts have been detained over the past week in five Iranian cities, and Christians said the number could rise.
The reported crackdown by Islamic authorities comes as Iran “doubled down” on hijab enforcement and policing women since protests erupted in the fall of 2022, rights group Amnesty International said.
Between April and July, “authorities…waged an intensified nationwide crackdown on women and girls who choose not to wear headscarves in public,” the rights group said.The trend reflected the hardline leaders’ commitment to the mandatory Islamic dress code despite widespread discontent.Government measures included redeploying the morality police responsible for enforcing the strict dress code. The organization had largely disappeared after it detained Mahsa Amini, the 22-year-old woman who died in detention for “improper hijab” in September 2022.Tactics also ranged from using facial recognition to sending […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
