(RAIR Foundation)—On the night before Israel and soon after, the United States, launched strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, I was up exchanging messages with an Iranian dissident who was nearly killed just for trying to tell his story.
The regime doesn’t just silence you, it slashes your arms, your chest, and your legs. That’s what happened to “Asher Jorjani.” At 4:00 a.m., on June 20, as we messaged across time zones and thousands of miles, Iranian security forces stormed and raided his car, seized his documents, and dragged him into custody.
His only crime: refusing to stay quiet.
This is the reality of the Islamic Republic of Iran, where truth-telling is treated as treason. And while millions live under this terror, Jorjani’s story is one that must be told. Asher Jorjani is one of many Iranians navigating life under ethnic and religious discrimination. In a state built on oppression, courage comes at a steep price.
His opposition began as a teenager. As a junior in a competitive math and physics high school, he began to realize that the education system wasn’t about learning, but about loyalty. Every day began with forced Quran readings, even for non-Muslims. Students from regime-connected families were favored. Even student elections were rigged, mirroring the regime’s grip on real power.

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.
