No one can serve two masters. He will either hate the one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life-- what you shall eat or drink-- or about your body-- what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?

Look at the birds in the sky. They do not sow or reap. They gather nothing into barns, yet your Heavenly Father feeds them. Are not you more important than they? Can any of you, by worrying, add a single moment to your life span?

Why are you anxious about clothes? Learn from the way the wildflowers grow. They do not work or spin. But I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendour was clothed like one of them. If God so clothes the grass of the field, which grows today and is thrown into the oven tomorrow, will He not much more provide for you, oh you of little faith?

So do not worry and say, what are we to eat? Or what shall we drink? Or what are we to wear? All these things the pagans seek. Your Heavenly Father knows that you need them all.

But seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be given you besides. Do not worry about tomorrow. Tomorrow will take care of itself. Sufficient for a day is its own evil.

This is Mejanomics with a Friend of Medjugorje.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

What happened yesterday is astounding. Trumps there before hundreds of thousands of people. And then they go to the Capitol. And the news immediately starts saying Trump supporters had taken over the Capitol. That agitators of ANTIFA were there. They incited it. Theres pictures of the police opening up the barricade and even flagging them to come in. Those police were in on it. And of course, some Trump people just went on to the steps. Theyve got face recognition that proved that theyre ANTIFA. They saw the same people there in other states before. They staged this thing! They literally staged the police inside the building pushing back the so-called protestors. It is fake. You go look. You research and look at it. As the police engage the rioters, it looks like theyre dancing with each other. Study it. You research it. It is all staged. There was nobody being beaten up. Nobody trying to bust through the line. None of the police are trying to stop them. Its as if theyre dancing. Did the girl get shot? Yeah. And theyre going to probably find out that was ANTIFA.

Trump people do not want to take over the White House or the Capitol. Immediately, they say this is sedition. If its sedition, why did the police let them in? And what was the plan? What were they going to take over? If this is sedition, this is the most pitiful sedition anybody has ever planned in the history of the world! Where was the organization? Only in the agitators, to use the excuse of so many numbers of people, to make you think, and make the people, that Trump caused this. They planned this. They want to make it so big they exaggerate it beyond imagination. It was just a little puff of smoke. And you would think that the whole United States was just taken over. You know what? It is. They did do that. Thats exactly whats happening. But its not on Trumps side. Its not on the right side, even in the middle. Its on the left. The Democrats are stealing this to take over the United States of America. If Biden gets in there, youre done. The Church is done. We are over. So, they had to make this situation, make it into something it is not, even though ANTIFA was there. In fact, almost everywhere ANTIFA went, in Portland, Washington, different places, was always bigger than what happened there. It wasnt a big deal. And you can tell by the lying voices.

Listen to Chuck Schumer, the minority leader, and as you hear him, think about what hes saying about what happened yesterday.

[CLIP]

[CHUCK SCHUMER]

Mr. President, it is very, very difficult to put into words what has transpired today. I have never lived through or even imagined the experience like the one we have just witnessed in this Capitol.

President Franklin Roosevelt set aside December 7, 1941 as a day that will live in infamy. Unfortunately, we can now add January 6, 2021 to that very short list of dates in American history that will live forever in infamy.

This temple to democracy was desecrated, its windows smashed, our offices vandalized. The world saw Americans elected officials hurriedly ushered out because they were in harms way. The House and Senate floors were places of shelter until the evacuation was ordered, leaving rioters to stalk these hallowed halls. Lawmakers and our staffs, average citizens who love their country, serve it every day, feared for their lives.

These images were projected to the world. Foreign embassies cabled their home capitols to report the harrowing scenes at the very heart of our democracy. This will be a stain on our country not so easily washed away. The final, terrible, indelible legacy of the forty-fifth President of the United States, undoubtedly, our worst.

I want to be very clear. Those who performed these reprehensible acts cannot be called protesters. No, these were rioters and insurrectionists, goons and thugs, domestic terrorists. They do not represent America. They were a few thousand violent extremists who tried to take over the Capitol building and attack our democracy. They must and should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, hopefully by this administration. If not, certainly by the next. They should be provided no leniency.

I want to thank the many of the Capitol Hill police and secret service and local police who kept us safe today and worked to clear the Capitol and return it to its rightful owners and its rightful purpose. I want to thank the leaders, Democrat and Republican, House and Senate. It was Speaker Pelosi, leader McConnell, leader McCarthy and myself who came together and decided that these thugs would not succeed, that we would finish the work that our Constitution requires us to complete, in the very legislative chambers of the House and Senate that were desecrated, but we know, always, belong to the people and do again tonight. But make no mistakemake no mistake my friendstodays events did not happen spontaneously. The President who promoted conspiracy theories that motivated these thugs, the President who exhorted them to come to our nations Capital, egg them on. He hardly ever discourages violence, and more often, encourages it. This President deserves a great deal of the blame. This mob was in good part, President Trumps doing, incited by his words, his lies. This violence, in good part, his responsibility, his everlasting shame. Todays events certainly, certainly would not have happened without him.

Now, January 6^th will go down as one of the darkest days in recent American history. A final warning to our nation about the consequences of a demagogic president. The people who enable him, the captive media that parrots his lies, and the people who follow him, as he attempts to push America to the brink of ruin.

As we reconvene tonight, let us remember, in the end, all this mob has really accomplished is to delay our work for a few hours. We will resume our responsibilities now, and we will finish our task tonight. The House and Senate chambers will be restored good as new and ready for legislating in short order. The counting of the electoral votes is our sacred duty. Democracys roots in this nation are deep. Theyre strong, and they will not be undone, ever, by a group of thugs. Democracy will triumph as it has for centuries.

So, to my fellow Americans who were shocked and appalled by the images on their televisions today, and who are worried about the future of this country, let me speak to you directly. The divisions in our country clearly run deep. But we are a resilient, forward-looking, and optimistic people, and we will begin the hard work of repairing this nation tonight, because here in America, we do hard things. In America, we always overcome our challenges.

Yield the floor.

[END CLIP]

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

He said all this, after a couple of hours, was over, which is a contradictory statement, because he said its as big as Pearl Harbor and World War II. And this only lasted a couple hours? January 6^th will go down as one of the most darkest times of America. Again, go to Sun Tzu. You know by what they say, their true intentions.

Temple of democracy? I wrote a book, The devils Government, and it explains democracy is the work of the devil. We are not a democracy. We are a Republic! Dont let anybody say that. For years, Ive told that is dangerous, and everybody refers to us as a democracy. Nobody says a republic. Youve got to get this verbiage. satan got it because it was verbiage that brought down the whole human race when he talked to Eve. Dont accept that!

Isnt that interesting, I just quoted him saying temple of democracy? Whos in the temple? The devil is. Its possessed. It needs an exorcism. Thats why so many bad things are happening. It is filled with darkness. And their little kingdomand they think its hallowed groundis not holy. What comes out of both houses is unholy. There needs to be a great exorcism. And actually, thats what Trumps trying to do. Hes a secular exorcist, and they hate him. Good is hated by bad.

This man is a walking lie. One of the lying voices. Republican Mitch McConnell said, after Schumer, This was our 9/11. What?! How can he be so stupid falling for this? Unless hes part of it. Hes married to a Chinese woman. Is he compromised also? What an insult for three thousand people dying on 9/11 and all the officers and the medics and all the heroes. And this little hour thing that happened, that if you review and you research, is nothing but a gnat. Its not even equal to a gnat.

All this is being stated for Mejanomics today, showing you how volatile our nation is at this moment, which means economics, shaky economics, economics that you cant depend on. You have to put everything in your decision making, into your hands. You need to control your destiny, through grace, of how were supposed to be living. You need to get out of the stock markets, all the investments. They tell us, all the financial advisors, you protect yourself through diversification. Oh, really? Where are you going to put some over here? In the stock markets. Life insurance. But Heaven forbid to put it into silver or into gold. They won't tell you that. Why would you put your money out there in something thats going to crash and disappear in a second? All the signs are out there. What just happened yesterday is all part of it. We cant pay back thirty trillion dollars. We never will. The only thing that corrects it and wipes out the debt is a total crash. And it wipes out the debt because they take all your money out of the stocks and all the money out of the banks, all the money everywhere else, every asset thats mortgage. It all goes away. And thats not going to pay it off. So, thats surely, theyre going to take it all from you. But they cant take your silver away from you, and if you sanctify it through the Miraculous Medjugorje Round, its there. You hold it. Its real. Its the only thing that is real that has an intrinsic value that man cannot take away. No financial advisor is going to tell you to buy silver. Why? Because he cant make money off of it. And when you put your stock money into that, their argument is, youre not making money on it.

Do you know, in a crash, just having a small amount of silver, what that would do as far as your wealth? Better than that, if youre investing, buy you a little homestead. Build three or four cottages. Let people live there for free to run the animals that you buy. Thats your stock because its livestock. Stock is not life. Livestock feeds you, from your cows to your chickens to everything you have. Thats real wealth. And if you cant get there now, quit trying to make money over something that is an illegitimate system that doesnt glorify God, meaning, it is going down. Our Lady has told us that. You say, Well, She didnt say stock market. Yes, She did, because She gave the title. Whatevers not glorifying God is going to go away. And it doesnt. Agrarian life wont go away, and your first step to get there is get out immediately. Twenty-twenty-one, you get out of that! Im telling you! For your own good! Its part of our ministry, to safeguard what you have, your retirement. Can you have a better retirement bringing dollars every month into you, or would it be better that you have set up other people and families on your land, let them live in your cottages that you build, for exchange of them keeping the homestead running, and you feed that. You have to have people. Thats your wealth, and you better get into that as fast as you can.

So, were going to be talking about financial advisors today and how crooked and how rotten it is, and the lie many people have bought into.

[THEME MUSIC]

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

I believe very strongly that financial advisors are modern dressed-up conmen. Con in the sense that they arent looking out for you, but no, theyre not looking out for you. They have to look after you so that they look after themselves. And theyve got a self-interest in it. And so, when you were visiting here at Caritas a couple months ago, you had told me the experience of your mother and accompanying her to her financial advisor. So, why dont you share with the audience what your experience was with this advisor.

[MAN]

Yes. Youre correct. I was accompanying my mom to the financial advisor. After my dad had died the estate went to my mother. Im the executer, plus, I live locally, so I accompanied her to this meeting. The transfer went along, and the advisor asked a couple questions that my mother didnt know, and I was surprised that she asked me my opinion on it because I have a younger brother who has a degree in accounting. And by listening to Mejanomics and you, a Friend of Medjugorje, I was able to answer these questions. And I felt like this financial advisor, I felt like that heSomething triggered something in him. I just had that feeling.

So, we went on, and my mother made the changes from my father to her name. And toward the end, it gotIt was very strange the way he started acting. His tone kind of changed, and he started acting as if this was his money, which is my mothers, and he seemed very possessive of it. It changed from that he was working for her, that, I think he was working for himself. He said that, I will do what I think is for the best of your money. He made it plain that he didnt really have a say. Then he came back with that, and he said, there are new laws that you dont have a say-so in decision-making. Which, I just sat there dumbfounded, unbelievable that this guy was saying this. He grew up with one of my other brothers, so, hes well-known in our family. My dad trusted him. My mom trusted him. And because, you know, he was a financial advisor. And I immediately just sat there just taken aback, and I just felt like, this guy is one of them lying voices, and it was just plain to me.

So, then, me sitting there at the table, when he said that to me, I would have packed it up, and I wouldnt have left there without one cent left in there. I would have had every cent in my front pocket before I left.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

Have you ever discussed it with your brother, that maybe yall should be given a better tap on whats going on and reviewing, instead of just putting all your faith in the financial advisor iscan be trusted?

[MAN]

Yeah. I should do that.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

Well, I would do that. I would call him.

[MAN]

It would be a very good idea.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

Tell him youve got concerns about this. And anybody thats doing that, the financial advisor makes the money off of her money. The truth of the matter is, it is his money. Its a natural self-interest thing that goes, and very few people are not going to be looking out for themselves.

[MAN]

Its like he took it to a new level of possessiveness. [LAUGHS] Not just his job. Thats what it seemed like to me.

[THEME MUSIC]

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

In regards to talking about financial advisors, were going to hear from experiences of a nationwide company, who left the company in less than a year because of what was going on.

So, tell us your experience during that period of time.

[CENTURY SILVER EMPLOYEE]

Originally, my husband and I were starting off, started our family, and a friend of my husbands said, Wont you come into the office. He was a financial advisor. And he was trying to get new business. He said, Come into the office. Ill set you guys up. You know youre trying to start a family, start a house, get your finances in order. And so, we did, and he really got us. He pulled us in heavy. We were young, didnt really know any better. And once youre clients of this company, they make you come in once a year, at least, for a yearly reviewan annual review. And so, we would go in for our annual reviews, and last year, we went in for our annual review, and things just werent adding up, and I had a lot of questions, and so I asked the questions, and before I left that annual review, I had a job becauseI agreed to the job. I did. But they said, You have a knack for this. You can do this. You understand whats going on. You can see past the paper. You can see past whats on the paper, and You know what questions to ask and what to do and what to say. And so, I took the job.

I was an assistant starting out to a few financial advisors and financial representatives. I did not stay at the company very longless than a year. I was very uncomfortable with the whole concept, the whole process, especially once I got on the other side of it. Once I was inside the company, I was very uncomfortable, and we were not happy with how they were

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

How many people worked in your office?

[CENTURY SILVER EMPLOYEE]

A little over twenty, not all financial advisors. I was the only assistant. We had an office manager and one whos more of an HR role, and then the rest were all financial advisors and financial representatives. So, a solid twenty, at least.

I was very uncomfortable once I got inside the job and on the other side of it, once I saw how things truly worked. And the concept behind the money marketing with them and the layout of the company, and just how it all worked. The job itself was easy. The paperwork was easy, but it was very stressful. I truly lost sleep at night because I couldnt sleep with my conscience knowing how my job operated, how I was getting a paycheck. I couldnt live like that, so I quit my job.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

What was the typical pay from the low end to the high end?

[CENTURY SILVER EMPLOYEE]

For a financial advisor, with that company and with most financial companies, there is no income cap. So, you could make however much you wanted to. It was very, very easy to make six figures for a financial advisor. Every client that you have, every transaction is what they call residual income. So, its not just a one-time paycheck. Every single month that you have a contract or a policy with that financial advisor, they get money, every single month, from one thing that they did.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

One thing they did, meaning, the client?

[CENTURY SILVER EMPLOYEE]

For example, I would start the paperwork and set up an account for a client. And if they wanted, just for an example, a life insurance policy, and to work on their IRA or a 401(k). We would initially do that paperwork, and we would set it up, but, those type of things, life insurance policies, IRAs and things like that, they go every month. Some sort of action has to happen every month. Youre putting money into it every month. Youre building this, and the financial advisor would get money for every single action that was taken every single month, even if they leave the company. Its called residual income. They were able to make money off of those clients. And one advisor that I worked for, he had been an advisor for eight years, I do believe, and it got to the point where he was making well over six figures, and he just, technically, still worked for the firm, but he quit working because he had so much residual income, because he had built his client base, he didnt have to work anymore because he had all the residual income coming in

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

Wow.

[CENTURY SILVER EMPLOYEE]

until Corona hit, and then he had to work.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

How much money was that? Do you know?

[CENTURY SILVER EMPLOYEE]

It did vary. A few would be upper six figures, easily. The ones that had been doing it, you know, ten, fifteen, twenty years. But there were some, that they were comfortable. They said, You know what? Ive put my time in. Im making good money. Now, Im going to enjoy myself. But then some are just money hungry and so greedy, and it was never enough. And they worked and worked and worked, twenty-four seven, when they were more than fine financially. But it was just the greed and just, the starvation of

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

Whos paying the salary?

[CENTURY SILVER EMPLOYEE]

The clients pay the salary. For sure. Without a doubt.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

How do they convince them to do that? Do they keep it veiled from the client?

[CENTURY SILVER EMPLOYEE]

Yes and no. Information could easily be found out if you googled that or looked into that, and you really wanted to know. But they do not come out openly and say, Hey! Wont you let us move your finances from a small cap to a large cap so I can make, you know, eight hundred more dollars this month? No. They dont come out and say that.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

But thats what theyre doing though?

[CENTURY SILVER EMPLOYEE]

Yes. Theres several different ways of

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

Conning?

[CENTURY SILVER EMPLOYEE]

Yes, conning normal, average, everyday people. Theres a lot to it. And if you got it, you got it, and if you dont, you dont. And they love to go after younger families, or families with younger children. My husband and I were in that boat. We had just gotten married, you know, and starting a family, and a lot of guilt and just that classic parenting feeling, you know especially at first. Im scared when I stayed home with our children, and my husband was the sole bread-winner there and our only income, and, What if something happens to your husband? What are you going to do?

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

So, they prey on your emotions?

[CENTURY SILVER EMPLOYEE]

Absolutely.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

What about older people?

[CENTURY SILVER EMPLOYEE]

With that, they would love to dig into elderly or middle-aged and say, Hey, youre close to retirement, or, Youve already retired, or, Youre fifty. You know, you could retire in five years if you give me your money. If you give me your money, you can retire early because I can turn your money into this, this, this, and this. Or, You are about to retire, and you dont have enough money. Let me look at your accounts. Let me see what kind of money you have. Oh, this isnt going to last you. Give me your money so I can make it bigger, so you can travel, or you can pay off any debts, or that you can leave it to your children and leave it to your grandchildren. They know what theyre doing. They know.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

Did you have any experiences once they got to that point, five years later, and it didnt pan out?

[CENTURY SILVER EMPLOYEE]

Yes.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

What were some stories?

[CENTURY SILVER EMPLOYEE]

Corona was a perfect example, because, as we all know, life is unpredictable, but the market really, really crashed with Corona. And so, the company and the advisors lost a lot of peoples money. A lot. I cannot stress to you the amount of money that was lost. And there was nothing we could do because it was justIts a risk. There are no guarantees. None. I mean, look at the economy right now. Theres no way to predict anything. Theres no guarantees, and theres no safety of investment. Theres just not. We lost so many peoples retirements. They tried to get it back, and they tried to play the stock markets. They tried with investments, but theres only so much you can do. You cant spend forty years of building, you know, hundreds of thousands of dollars, and then you wake up one day, and its gone, and you just get it right back.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

Did you hear any of the personal stories?

[CENTURY SILVER EMPLOYEE]

I did speak to a lot of the clients when Corona hit. My role was just to pacify the clients for the most part.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

So, wait a minute. They used you, Hey, we need a pacifier for this couple.

[CENTURY SILVER EMPLOYEE]

Mhm.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

So, do they coach you what to say and what you need to say? And what did you say?

[CENTURY SILVER EMPLOYEE]

When clients would call that were very upset who had lost all of their money or most of their money, I would just guarantee them that we would do our best to get everything back, and we were trying as best as we could, but please knowWe were to never take fault, ever. You never admit that its our fault. We werent allowed to say, Im sorry. We have to say, Im sorry that happened to you. Im sorry the economy has fallen. Im sorry I was never allowed to say Im sorry. You dont take fault, because it made us look bad.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

How did that make you feel?

[CENTURY SILVER EMPLOYEE]

Selfish. I felt very selfish. Overall, Im just the type of person who, I will say Im sorry to keep the peace, and Ill do anything to keep peace. And it was very hard to push blame on someone else when it was clearlythat money was in our hands. And I had a hard time sleeping and truly just going about everyday life knowing that, you know, were telling people, Hey, give us your money now, so in thirty years, you can retire, and knowing thats probably not going to happen

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

It cant happen!

[CENTURY SILVER EMPLOYEE]

But everything that they told us, we said, Okay! Well make it happen. No problem. And theyre basing their whole life, their whole existence, every financial move that they made was based on what we said. And yet, theres no guarantees. Nothing. Another big part of that was the life insurance policies that we would sell. That was the biggest money-maker. Thats how you pull people in.

Financial advisors are, truly, anyone that advises you on how to spend money. It doesnt have to just be these huge firms and these guys with suits. It can be a normal, you know, average joe, you know? Just a blue collar guy selling a policy. Thats still, hes advising you how to spend your money, and thats another thing that people need to be very, very careful of. You dont have to walk into this firm with millions of dollars to have a financial advisor. You dont, even if youre just wanting, quote unquote, security, thats very, very dangerous and very scary that just average people can do that and can also get swept away.

But life insurance policies were a very, very big money-maker, and thats where they started with pulling in young families. If something happens to you What if something happens to your husband You need to have financial security and financial stability. And it just doesnt make any sense, though. For example, Why dont you pay us an example, you know, a hundred dollars a month for seventy-five years. Well say that. At seventy-five, well give you half a million dollars when your husband passes. Or, if he passes before then, well give you allotted amount of money. But, what they dont tell you is, theres fees at the end. Theres taxes, and you have put in so much money, and most of the time, youre not even breaking even. Youre not breaking even.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

Well, how can you break even when youve got offices to pay for, twenty people working there. Whos paying that? Any gains, in the end, are mitigated, but theres no way that anybody can be guaranteeing anything.

[CENTURY SILVER EMPLOYEE]

Correct.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

So, what would happen if somebody called up and said, for their financial advisor, Im going to put money in silver or gold. Did they give you any training to avoid that, or what did they say about that?

[CENTURY SILVER EMPLOYEE]

Yes, we always would highly discourage and

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

They told you to discourage that?

[CENTURY SILVER EMPLOYEE]

Yes. Discourage that. Because, number one, that wasnt business for the business. That wasnt residual income for the clients to invest in silver or gold, versus putting that money into a life insurance policy or stocks and bonds. The clients were, quote unquote, taking money away from the company. And they said you have to discourage that because thats taking away from your paycheck. Thats taking away from your bonus.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

The financial advisor.

[CENTURY SILVER EMPLOYEE]

Yes sir.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

They lose control of it completely because theres no money to be made on silver.

[CENTURY SILVER EMPLOYEE]

No.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

Did you always appease them and say, Well, maybe five percent can go over here, or did you always say, Dont buy metals?

[CENTURY SILVER EMPLOYEE]

No, we always were told and always pushed, money should go into the market. Money should go into the stock market. What good is it doing to put money into silver or gold or even just a little savings account, just no silver, no gold, because you cant gain anything off of that. And you want to gain. Wouldnt you want the maximum amount of everything that you can get? We can give you gains. We can give you dividends. Dont get me started on dividends. We can get you dividends with these investments. That was the thing. They could, but the likelihood of that actually happening is slim to none.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

So, did they train you also, if the client insisted for silver or gold, what was the backup argument?

[CENTURY SILVER EMPLOYEE]

Of course, that was their decision if the client wanted to invest in metals, but we highly, highly discouraged it, and we would push and push and push and say, Well, thats fine, but some silver or some gold is sitting in your home or its secured wherever it may be. Its not gaining anything. If you give us your money. We can make more. We can double that. We can triple that. We can make that profitable. Why would you not want more? Do you not want more for your family? Do you not want more for your kids? Do you want to be in debt? Okay. We would be able to pull up their account and say, for example, I see that you still owe $100,000 on your home. You know I can fix that for you. That silver sitting in your home isnt going to fix that. But the silver sitting in your home is yours.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

Youre saying this because, now, youve seen the other side about silver because you work for Century Silver.

[CENTURY SILVER EMPLOYEE]

Also, one other big thing that the financial firm I worked for always did was, initially, when were setting up your account, of course, there is a lot of paperwork, and you would have to sign this and sign that. But one thing that you were signing is permission for the financial advisor to use, basically, your emergency contact, to call them, your emergency contact. If the advisor feels that you are not making a sound decision, they can call your emergency contact and say, Hey, I dont think your mom, or your friend or your dad, whomever, I dont think theyre making a sound decision. Im worried about them. Theyre making a decision in haste. Theyre not thinking through. Theyre just making a quick decision. So, a lot of times, if someone calls their advisor and wants to pull their money out, whether just to pull it out of the stock market altogether or to put it into silver, just take their money away from the financial advisor, and the financial advisor could, legally, they had the authority to call your emergency contact and try to sway them to sway the client to keep their money with the company.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

A financial advisor hates silver, hates gold. Century Silver has over and over situations where an elderly person was going to invest into silver, Miraculous Medjugorje Round, and the financial advisor actually calls the grown adult children of these people, that they should not do this, and they actually talk them out of it. And this is satanic, and its from the devil because you cant lose with silver, and you will, and ultimately lose with the markets or life insurance.

[CENTURY SILVER EMPLOYEE]

Personally, since Ive been on both sides, now that Im working with Century Silver, and then previously working with a financial firm, I see zero point in life insurance policies. And thats where they start, and thats how they really, really pull you in. If youre going to spend a hundred dollars, two hundred, three hundred dollars a month on a life insurance policy, and then, at the end of your life, youre still not going to get that money back. Why wouldnt you just invest that in silver, in gold, in something that is yours, that you keep in your home, and youll have it no matter what, whenever you need it? But instead, youre putting hundreds of dollars a month into a life insurance policy that you may never need and youre not going to get back.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

And if you put that in silver monthly, and you started young, youll be well-off, and when the crash happens, youre wealthy!

[CENTURY SILVER EMPLOYEE]

Absolutely.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

Because your purchasing power doesnt go down. It actually increases. And so, if youre doing anything, its what we always said about The Corona Vision, is your homestead is your best investment, your animals, what you can bring from your ground, is your life insurance. Who wants to depend on a system that we know, Our Lady has said, is going down? It is just a matter of time, but it isnt going to be a long time when it crashes. Its instant. And youve got silver in your house. And also, you sanctified it through the Miraculous Medjugorje Round, and it, in and of itself, is not the number one thing to have. Its your homestead is the first thing. But you cant go out and do that immediately today. But what you can do with Century Silver is transfer all these things, all the stocks, into something that is guaranteed never to be worthless because it intrinsically has worth put there by God Himself.

[THEME MUSIC]

[CENTURY SILVER REPRESENTATIVE]

With Century Silver, we probably get, at least, Id say, at least one call a weekand it may be more than thatof somebody telling us that their financial advisor is trying to stop them from exchanging for the Miraculous Medal Medjugorje Round. And we tell everybody that your three biggest enemies to the rounds are, number one, your financial advisor. They will try to stop you at all costs. Number two is your bank. Theyre going to try to stop you from pulling money out. And number three, believe it or not, is actually your own family, oftentimes, your kids, because theyve got their eyes on your assets, and they think that its theirs. And we mentioned a story months ago, but its worth bringing up again in the context of this discussion, that there was a woman who was considering seven, eight, nine hundred thousand, maybe pulling out her IRA and exchanging for the rounds. She called us and said, Oh, I just made a huge mistake. I told my kids. Theyve got the financial advisor involved. I myself spent time on the phone on a conference call with her and her kids, and they simply dont get it, and they disagree. They were nice, and they, of course, stated that they had their mothers best interests at heart, but the younger generations, especially dont get it, and the financial advisors, they get it. They get that when you pull your money away from them, theyre going to lose some income, and they hate that.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

Did they teach and train the employees of the company you were at to treat your client like theyre family?

[CENTURY SILVER EMPLOYEE]

I would say, at that company, that was not a top priority of the company. We were not told to treat them like family, but we were told to do whatever we had to do and say whatever we had to say and use whatever tactics needed to keep the business and to keep their money.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

So, what were the tactics to do that?

[CENTURY SILVER EMPLOYEE]

Dont get very personal. That was a big thing, is we werent allowed to get very personal. I didnt like that. We knew everything about these people; but yet, it was best that we didnt get personal because things could get sticky. You would start to feel bad, because if youre a human, you feel bad for taking money for conning. I dont understand how this type of work has gotten so large and has just overtaken the country, the world. I dont understand. But of course, everything was done over the phone, for the most part. Occasionally, in the office for the annual reviews. But they did not want us to get personal. They didnt want us to feel bad for them. And one thing that I struggled with on that same side was, I wanted to feel good about my job. Whatever job I have, whatever Im doing, I need to feel good about that. Its more than just, you know, having a good nights sleep. I needed to lay down at night feeling good about what Ive done that day. And I know, some days are stressful and some days, you know, are better than others. But I went to an employee there at the firm, and I said, Listen, I havent been here very long, but I need to know that this is going to get better. I need something. I need some reassurance. And I explained to her what I just said. I need to know that, when I lay down at night, Ive made a difference. Ive done something good. It wasnt just all in vain. And I said, I need an Aha moment about this job. And to me, an Aha moment is satisfaction and knowing that what we are doing is good, or, Okay. This is why were doing this. I may have headaches and stress and phone calls, but this reason is the reason Im doing my job. This is it. This is my Aha moment. And she said, It wont happen often, she said, but your first Aha moment and your moments here at the company, she said, When someone passes, when someone dies, and you do all the paperwork and all the phone calls, and you get to hand the money left over from the policy to the beneficiary and to the loved one. Thats it. And I was like, Oh. Okay. And I thought, Well, maybe Ill get it when it actually happens. That doesnt sound great, but maybe when it happens, Ill understand.

And so, shortly thereafter, a man passed away in his sleep, a client of ours. And he had a $1.25 million-dollar policy. I dont remember how much his premiums were and how long hed been paying on it, but that was his policy amount. His wife was entitled to that payout and that money. But, upon paperworkThey say youre not taxed on it, but you are. Theres loopholes, and you are. The fees, the paperwork fees, the filing fees, the taxes, they left with a little over $700,000.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

Wow. Half of it went to the firm, basically, in Texas.

[CENTURY SILVER EMPLOYEE]

Oh, yes. Absolutely. It was handling fees, processing fees, advisory fees. And they got a little over $700,000, and it was a 1.25. And that was the Aha moment that I was supposed to have. That was it. And it wasnt much longer that I quit. I did walk away.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

You felt like you were stealing.

[CENTURY SILVER EMPLOYEE]

Yes. And I just, I couldnt, I couldnt do that. I just could not.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

So, compare that to what you feel now working.

[CENTURY SILVER EMPLOYEE]

At Century Silver, I truly do love my job. Yes, it is finance. We discuss finances, but Im not stressed. I have zero stress with my job. I come home happy. I feel good, and knowing whether someone invests, you know, a hundred dollars or a hundred thousand dollars, they are securing their financial future, their childrens financial future, their grandchildren. For whatever reason they are doing this, theyre doing it for the right reason. Im not stealing money. Im not taking money. People that call in, that I have formed a relationship with, they always say, Do you want me to ask you or request for you next time I call? And I say, It doesnt matter, you know. Whoever here answers the phone here at the office is fine. And they want to talk about commission and stuff. And I love the fact that I dont work off commission. I love that, because its not about me. Its not about my wealth and my greed. Its about your wealth and securing your financial future. Its not about us at Century Silver. Its truly about the customers and the people that call in and securing that for them and for their family.

I cannot help what goes on in our country and in the economy, but I can help secure families that call.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

Do you get to talk to people once they receive their silver? What kind of comments do you get?

[CENTURY SILVER EMPLOYEE]

I do. I do. Several people have called in once they receive their silver, and 99.9% of the time, they just go on and on about how beautiful it is and how its truly just mesmerizing, and how they werent expecting to feel the way that they felt when they first opened it, and they held it, and they just held it in their hand knowing how much of a difference that one phone call made just to place the order. And they most always call again and call again and call again because they know how important that is. You know, even if it is just a little bit of money, thats fine. Thats better than none. And it is amazing to hear how happy people are. At my last job, people, when they called, they usually werent happy. [LAUGHS] But they are now, and its really, really, really nice.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

Well, if you just had a couple thousand dollars in silver, and theres a crash, youre wealthy.

[CENTURY SILVER EMPLOYEE]

Absolutely, because thats going to increase drastically.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

Well, its your purchasing power.

[CENTURY SILVER REPRESENTATIVE]

Just to springboard off of what was said about when people receive their silver rounds for the first time, you may be thinking that would be hard to believe that people would feel so strongly about some pieces of silver. And really the main reason that people feel so strongly about it, and theyre so awed by the rounds, is because of the spiritual aspect. These images contain the images of the Miraculous Medal, which grace is attached to those. Our Lady requested those prayers in Medjugorje. Also the images from the apparition sites in Medjugorje and at Caritas.

A Friend of Medjugorje designed the round with purpose, with those images, actually, in just a matter of minutes when he sat down to do it. But those images carry spiritual value, not only for the person whos holding it now, but as these round move out into circulation, we really believe that were going to see fireworks in the future with conversions, because it is a unique collaboration with Our Lady.

And a Friend of Medjugorje, like I said, designed that round with that in mind. He does not take a single penny of royalties for designing that round. He has the copyright. He keeps that for protection, but never once has he taken any personal financial benefit from it. And so, he can speak strongly about that, and we can speak strongly about that. As was said earlier, theres no commission for our employees at Century Silver Exchange.

Just to give one concrete example of when somebody got their Miraculous Medal Medjugorje Rounds for the first time. A woman calledThis is about a month ago, maybe. And, Im going to do my best to paraphrase what she said, but she said she got it. She opened the package, and she was holding it in her hands. She had sent in a thousand dollars, and at that time, it yielded her about thirty-one ounces of silver. And she was holding it. It was heavy. But all of a sudden, while she was holding the rounds, she just had this thought pop into her head, that, Oh, Jesus was sold for thirty pieces of silver. Shes sitting there holding thirty-one. And she called her brother over, and she said, Look at this. This is thirty-one ounces of silver, or something like, you know, Jesus was sold for thirty pieces of silver. Shes saying it to her brother, and he said, Wow, you know? I never thought of that. And many people have described it to us in different ways, that to hold that the first time was a transformative experience. Financially valuable, yes. Financial security, yes. But the grace attached and a spiritual aspect of this blows everything else out of the water, and it transforms you and the way you think when you hold it for the first time.

And so, its no wonder that the Miraculous Medal Medjugorje Round is considered the number one specialty round in the world. There are almost four million of these rounds produced, spreading out all over the world right now, and there is nothing, nothing in the world like this that is tied to Medjugorje that has the Miraculous Medal image on it. If you buy silver eagles, big mistake. You wont have the same impact. You wont feel the same. They dont have the same grace attached to it that can help bring people to conversion.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

You know, back in the fifties and early sixties, when you got your first Communion, you would go to families, most families were in an area that was close. And so, we would go to that house, and they would give us a silver dollar. Ive got thirteen silver dollars. Theres 1870, 1900, whatever. Ive still got my first Communion silver dollars, and when you hold that, theres something special with it.

But I know when we first came from the mint after we produced the Miraculous Medjugorje Round, you feel something. And thats what this lady was relaying, because so much of what you hold in your hand today is not real. Look at your food! Its got chopped up wood! Thats a filler to hold it together. You cant even grab a chicken at the store without half of it not being genetically manipulated hormones. Its not natural. Its not real. And theres so many things today that are not real, even though theyre physical. But silver is real. When they receive it, they feel that.

Weve always said that youre the best financial advisor about your monies, your assets, and its real simple. Thats what Mejanomics is about. You know best whats good for you. And to turn that over to somebody else, you might as well give it to a robber.

[CENTURY SILVER REPRESENTATIVE]

That leads me to one final thing before we provide our contact information. It may seem a little bit lighthearted on the surface, and it is kind of funny, but it underscores a serious point and just touches what a Friend of Medjugorje said. Youre the best one to manage your own money. We provide those principles for you. We lay out the information and echo what a Friend of Medjugorje wrote in It Ain't Gonna Happen.

But theres many people who have been harmed by financial advisors. We did a quick, just a real quick search the other day for, kind of, financial advisor horror stories, and we know, yes, theres good financial advisors, and by that, I mean, good people, but theyre doing bad things. But this is just one example that came from the state of Nevada. And this person writes in their review of their experience with this financial advisor and their company.

I am a victim of this absolutely fraudulent company. So many things went wrong with the way they have handled my money. I would have to write a book. Because I didnt understand all the financial hubbub and never found it interesting enough to learn, this company made me out to be an even stupider person because they raked me over the coals and got away with it. Right now, Im trying to sort out what the actual value of my accounts are so I can decide whether or not I have enough money to make a pipe bomb and blow up my branch. And by the way, nobody will get hurt because nobody is ever there. Dont mess with banksters because they are all-out gangsters. My advice, keep your money in safe and out of the hands of the creeps that created it.

[LAUGHTER]

[CENTURY SILVER REPRESENTATIVE]

And I mean, its funny, but it underscores, like I said, the seriousness of how many people have been damaged by this and how you need to become the manager of your own money.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

Were going into 2021. It doesnt make any sense to be in the stock markets or diversification because what does it go diverse into? Stock markets! Everything ends up there. All these things are invested and all are interconnected, that when a crash happens, its all gone! If youre not moved to get out of everything right now and just put it into silver, you have a low financial IQ of reason. And weve spoken recently about this. One definition of an idiot is destitute of reason. All you have to do is reason all these things out and transfer everything you have, and if its not enough to live on, instead of paying monthly life insurance, monthly exchange your funds for another fund that will be there in the event thats coming of a crash.
