The last 24 hours in South Korea have been extraordinary. After President Yoon Suk Yeol declared martial law in a late-night address to the nation on Tuesday, accusing the opposition Democratic Party of sympathizing with North Korea and conducting “anti-state activities,” people poured into the streets to protest the decision.
The Democratic Party was certainly guilty of obstructing Yoon’s agenda. They have blocked many of his appointments, stymied his healthcare reforms, blocked his economic stimulus efforts, investigated his aides, impeached his appointees, and even claimed his wife was corrupt.
Yoon, known for emotional outbursts according to the New York Times, finally had enough and decided to declare a national emergency at around 10:30 p.m. on Tuesday night. This resulted in six incredible hours that saw pushback from both major parties and thousands of ordinary Korean citizens pouring into the streets after midnight.
Opposition Democratic Party lawmakers were joined by Yoon’s People’s Power Party members in a post-midnight bid to rush the National Assembly building and push past the paratroopers blocking the legislators from meeting. Aides to the legislators turned fire extinguishers on the soldiers while others tried to run interference for the lawmakers.
In the end, the soldiers stepped aside. The lawmakers voted 190-0 to rescind martial law. […]

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.
