In 1917, famed American journalist H. L. Mencken concocted a story that has never completely come undone. The fact that everyone so easily believed his hoax amazed even him.
A writer at the time for the New York Evening Mail, Mencken wrote a bogus history about the bathtub. Eight and a half years later, he confessed it was all a lie. But by then his “facts” had made it around the globe, and nothing he did or said could retract them, leading Mencken to conclude, “No normal human being wants to hear the truth. It is the passion of a small and aberrant minority. . . . They are hated for telling it while they live, and when they die they are swiftly forgotten. What remains in the world . . . is a series of long-tested and solidly agreeable lies.”1
Today billions of people around the world believe all sorts of solidly agreeable lies. Lies about God. Lies about Jesus. Lies about creation, morality, Israel, salvation, heaven, hell, judgment, and much more.
For example, millions believe Israelis are “occupiers” of Islamic land, even though the Jewish people (whose very name comes from the word Judah) have lived there for 3,400 years, including 2,000 years before Islam even existed.
They believe the Holocaust of World War II never happened, even though the Nazis themselves documented everything meticulously. […]

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.
