A “funny” video on social media has sparked an intellectual discussion about the inherent authoritarianism of a technology-controlled world. When the powers-that-be have access to so many off switches, it’s the people who will be made to suffer.
Here’s the original video:

Conservative actor James Woods wonders if everyone understands the implications.
Wait until they turn off your electric car or your electric air-conditioning, or empty your electronic funds. Getting it yet?

He’s right. The bike video may be humorous to those who enjoy seeing their fellow humans suffer in embarrassing ways, but the rider could have easily been killed over pennies. That’s for a bike. What about automobiles that are tracked for mileage to make sure you aren’t making too big of a carbon footprint? Or refrigerators that have more meat in it than we’re allotted by government?
We’ve talked ad nauseam about the risks of Central Bank Digital Currencies. As Woods pointed out, what if wrongthink gives government an excuse to shut off your accounts?
The possibilities for disaster are too numerous to list in one short article, but they’re self-evident to those who have been paying attention. The problem is so few are actually doing so that the powers-that-be foresee a coming age in which they have complete control and the sheep are herded giddily to the slaughter of their rights.
You will own nothing and most of you won’t be happy unless we stop this madness now.
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.
