You won’t read about it in the dominant media, but there was a Bay Area political scene in the 1990s and early 2000s that was influenced to a startling degree by China. What you also won’t read in the pages of most news outlets is that 2024 Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris and likely 2028 White House hopeful California Gov. Gavin Newsom are both products of it.
Harris and Newsom owe their career ascensions to the mentorship of Willie Brown, former mayor of San Francisco and a longtime icon of Democrat machine politics in the Golden State. Brown in turn was unusually close to Chinese kingmakers in the Bay Area who have been tied to espionage activity by the red Beijing regime.
Let’s take one example. Rose Pak was a towering figure in San Francisco’s Chinese-American community. In 2018, Zach Dorfman, senior fellow at the Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs, writing for Politico, described her as one of the city’s “preeminent political power brokers” who “was famous for making and unmaking mayors” and city councilmen. Pak was a key ally of Brown.
‘Every Single Hotel Room Is Bugged’
Pak “became especially close to Willie Brown, who… calls her Miss Rose,” The New York Times reported in 2011.
“According to four former intelligence officials, there were widespread concerns that Pak had been co-opted by Chinese intelligence, and was wielding influence over San Francisco politics in ways purposefully beneficial to the Chinese government,” Dorfman related seven years later. Pak regularly conducted VIP trips to China for San Francisco political officials. Brown himself made multiple “trade missions” there during his tenure as SF mayor. […]

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.
