Pope Francis and the Latin Patriach of Jerusalem, Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, have called on the world to join in a world day of prayer and fasting for peace in the Middle East for October 7. The fact that the war in Israel is marking its one-year anniversary underlines the absolute failure of diplomacy to create a sustainable peace.
In fact, the recent Israeli military advance into Lebanon and the bombings in Beruit were quickly paired with the Iranian bombing of Tel Aviv and an Israeli air base. Are we at a midpoint in a war of attrition, or is a peace settlement near?
The high probability that Israel has nuclear weapons and the medium probability that Iran has nuclear weapons or capability has again raised that Cold War vampire, mutual assured destruction, from the grave, although nuclear capability is probably irrelevant at this point. With all the hypersonic missiles and military hardware provided by the two competing military alliances (Israel and the United States vs. Iran and Russia), mutual assured destruction need not go nuclear. Arms are plentiful, destruction is easily at hand, and peace seems elusive.
In his letter, Pope Francis said the region is suffering an ongoing martyrdom. […]

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.
