What you'll learn in this episode: How to know when to walk away from a purchase, and how to trust your intuition when buying Why you should always ask for a detailed receipt, even if it feels awkward Commonly misunderstood phrases dealers may use to confuse buyers How Jeff does due diligence before making a purchase How to navigate the many platforms where you can purchase jewelry today About Jeff Russak Jeff Russak is principal of Lawrence Jeffrey Estate Jewelers. Jeff's expertise in antique and 20th century jewelry combined with an uncompromising attitude toward quality, condition, and style directs the acquisition process. His proficiency in signed pieces and hallmarks is especially useful in identifying and dating each piece. In demand as a speaker on antique jewelry at museums and shows, he also volunteers as a guest appraiser for charity. Additional Resources: Website Facebook Instagram Twitter Photos available on TheJewelryJourney.com   Transcript: When it comes to buying jewelry, nothing is more important than trust. That's why Jeff Russak, principal at Lawrence Jeffrey Estate Jewelers, won't hesitate to leave a purchase behind if his inner voice tells him something is wrong. He joined the Jewelry Journey Podcast to talk about how he vets his purchases and the dealers he works with; what red flags buyers should watch out for; and why a receipt is more powerful than you might think. Read the episode transcript here. Sharon: Hello, everyone. Welcome to the Jewelry Journey Podcast. This is the second part of a two-part episode. If you haven't heard part one, please head to TheJewelryJourney.com. Today, my guest is Jeff Russak, one of the principals of Lawrence Jeffrey. They are estate dealers located in Litchfield, Connecticut. Jeff has had decades of experience buying and selling. He's also extremely knowledgeable about estate jewelry. Welcome back. What are the mistakes you see people make, whether in the receipt, in the returns or not asking the right questions? What are the mistakes you see? Jeff: The mistakes I see boil down to trusting the wrong person. There you are, and they're showing you a five-carat ruby. It's fire-engine red and pretty clear. It's in a nice ring, and it's $12,000 to $14,000. I can think of a half dozen booths I've seen at shows that had jewelry like this. Well, it's a good deal, and they're going to tell you it's a good deal. They're going to tell you how beautiful it is, but somewhere your brain must be going, “I'm a little worried.” If you're a little worried, stop. I can tell you that those rubies were glass-filled. Of course, they looked good. Were they rubies? The GIA would call them a red, man-made product rather than a ruby. I've gotten a report on such a stone, and that's what they said. I think you have to listen to your voice. The less you know, the more wary you need to be, and the more questions you need to ask. The more questions you ask, eventually you're going to hear things that are going to lead you to either trust and buy or not trust and not buy. If I were a neophyte, I would be like, “Wow, that's a really good price. That's so much less than I've seen for similar pieces. Is the stone natural?” If they say, “Oh yes, this is an all-natural ruby,” I would say, “Will you write that on my receipt?” Then you have recourse. Now we're getting into federal law. Again, we're talking about someone who doesn't know. You have to ask questions to try and get a sense. It's like questioning your six-year-old who's definitely got cupcake crumbs on his fingers. You know something has happened. You're not quite sure what, but you're pretty sure. You want to give him a chance. “So, what have you been up to?” “Oh, nothing.” “What's on your fingers?” They're going to look at their fingers. “Nothing but these crumbs.” “Crumbs, really?” So, you begin to get an idea. The truth is there's no silver bullet for solving these issues. I tell my clients to decide what fun money is to you. For some people, that's $100. For other people, that's $10,000. If you don't want to become more expert in something you want to buy a lot of, if you're going to spend more than fun money, ask an expert. Bring someone in who's knowledgeable, who's an expert, and take it from there. I do that too. I'm pretty expert in a lot of stuff. When I buy a very high-end sapphire, I have someone out on the West Coast who is strictly an expert on sapphire. I will often send it to that person to have it evaluated in much greater detail than a lab report. I will speak with them, and they will walk me through tracing all those factors in the marketplace and how they relate to establish what a wholesale price for it would be, and even sometimes what a retail price would be. A small difference in color in a five-carat stone could be a $10,000 to $20,000 difference at retail. Sharon: That's certainly true. Can you look at a piece of gold and tell who the designer is or where it's from? Jeff: The first thing I do is look for the hallmarks. I'm deft with reading hallmarks, and if I don't know—just this morning, I was taking a picture of a hallmark I couldn't find anywhere. Our shop has a library off the main floor, and the walls are covered with books on all the various designers, on gemology, on the history of jewelry. Then there are cases, which are closed, and they're filled with catalogues, every Tiffany catalogue from 1951. We have probably 60 or 70 Cartier catalogues. We have primary reference material we look at and use, but the short answer is about a third of the time, I can look at something and tell you who made it. But until I look at those hallmarks, it's just a really well-informed guess. Sharon: Can you tell the age of something? If you don't know who made it, can you tell the age just by looking? Jeff: Yes, by examining the piece and taking cues from both the aesthetic choices the goldsmith made, but also from the resources the goldsmith had when they were doing the fabrication. That usually is what tells me when something was made. The resources often dictate the mechanical style. For instance, the French often prefer not to physically join pieces in necklaces. They have a particular way of hinging them. It's sort of a pin with a mushroom cap. When you see that, you almost always know that's a French piece or it was made by someone who studied in France. If it's a Genevan piece, well, the Genevans often studied across the border. There are a lot of clues. It just takes time to learn them. Sharon: The people who work for you or with you, what do you suggest they learn? Do they follow you around, or do you show them each piece? Jeff: I have a really knowledgeable staff. They know a lot. Truthfully, I tell them all the time that they know a lot more than they think. They get to a certain point and I stop telling them; I just ask. In the beginning, though, they'll hesitate. They'll say something and it's almost always right. They have good instincts. When they've handled enough pieces, when we've pulled the books off the shelf—like when I look at Georgian pieces, I don't just go, “Oh, this George III,” or “Oh, this is George IV,” or “This is early Victorian.” They look different aesthetically in many cases, but the way the mountings are made, for instance, changes in subtle ways over a period of time. So, I'll go back to a reference book, and I'll pull out a dozen pictures from each period, say from 1740 to 1780 and then 1780 to 1800, and try and make sure to narrow it down. Some people have that in their heads. That one still hasn't stuck for me, so I always look it up to make sure. And I have a photo repository. There are many museums that allow you to take photographs. I have extensive photographs of pieces from the Treasury in Vienna because they allow photographs. I believe the British Museum has a vast collection—I don't believe; I know they have a vast collection of Victorian. They allow photographs, whereas the V&A, I don't think they do; I'm trying to remember. So, we have those resources as well. We're always trying to learn, and we take staff trips to museums. I'm hoping to take the staff on a museum tour, maybe in London at some point because there's so much to learn there. Every time I go, it reinforces what I've seen before. Sharon: Are there tours? I'm asking for a personal reason. Are there tours like you're talking about? Jeff: I think there are some jewelry tours. I want to say maybe get involved with Jewelry Week, the folks who run that. I don't know of any. We would just go on our own. I know where to go and what to look at and which dealers to visit, the rock stars of our world. Recently the Vegas Show went on, which is a dealer-only show. I was standing in a taxi line with my creative director, and we just struck up a conversation with one of the Heyman brothers from Oscar Heyman. I had no idea who he was, and we're just talking about stuff. I didn't even know he was in the jewelry world. Then he said something, and I was like, “Oh, you're at one of the shows. What do you do? Who are you with?” He said, “I'm with Oscar Heyman. I'm such-and-such Heyman,” and I said, “Oh, wow! We love your work so much. We follow you. We look at your work. You have such an amazing reputation.” They're the nicest people. He was so lovely. He looks around like he's looking for somebody and says, “Did my mother send you?” There's a group of people who are fantastically honest. I would recommend anyone to buy their jewelry, to deal with them, to use them as a resource if you have a Heyman piece. You can get in touch with them, and they will help you. They're really an example of the absolute pinnacle of an exemplary firm, and arguably maybe the most important American firm today. Sharon: I'm surprised to hear you say that you go from high to low or low to high in terms of looking at jewelry. Jeff: One of the things I wanted to talk about was all the different ways we can buy. We have so many choices today as a buyer. I think it's confusing somewhat, and some of the choices open up the opportunity to confuse people on purpose. You have dealers. You have dealers who have shops. You have dealers at shows. You have dealers who have online shops and in-person shops. You have dealers who only have online shops. You have online gateways. That's like a 1stDibs or an eBay, where dealers have their own space on these. You have flea markets, estate sales, tax sales. You have auctions in person. You have online auctions. Now, you have guaranteed preowned. You can go to Cartier and buy an estate piece guaranteed preowned like you buy a guaranteed preowned Mercedes. A number of those stores are doing that. Then you have buying from a friend, a private person, The RealReal, or Poshmark. There are places where regular people have somebody else sell their things or maybe they sell their own things. You have Facebook moms' groups. You have Facebook Marketplace. That's a lot of places to buy things, but here's the thing: the rules for how you buy are exactly the same no matter who you're buying from, and the laws that control these sales are exactly the same no matter who you buy from. That's a hard thing to remember. If you're shopping for an engagement ring, a mom who's selling her engagement ring may not want to give you a proper receipt. She might not even know she's supposed to, but she may only sort of remember what the diamond weight was. Maybe she didn't buy a diamond at all, or maybe she was given a diamond ring and it wasn't a diamond; maybe it was a Moissanite; maybe it was a synthetic diamond. All the more reason why you need a receipt. I'm not even saying that anyone is trying to do something dishonest in this situation. I'm saying that you're spending a decent little chunk of change or a big chunk of change, and you have to protect yourself. The more risk, the more careful you have to be. I'm just as careful as an ordinary buyer. I have a lot more knowledge that helps, but I'm just as careful. We buy from other dealers, obviously, all the time. There's a psychology of dealers selling to one another. Even though we're dyed-in-the-wool retailers, we still sell very specialized diamonds. We have several dealers in Europe who buy very specialized, historic pieces from us that are worth a lot more to their customers than they certainly would be to mine. It's not my specialty; it's not my niche. So, I have all the same issues buying from another dealer that a regular person might have buying through a moms' group. It's the same problems and issues, and it's the same task in terms of making sure you're getting what you think you're buying. Sharon: Do you sell a lot online? Do you notice a difference in the questions people ask? Jeff: I'm going to say off the cuff that I think there are more questions from my online buyers than from my in-person buyers. I think there are more questions, and more detailed questions. I think they're smart. The online buyer does not have the opportunity to look me in the eye, doesn't get to see where I'm standing or a sense of whether there's an exchange of information. Maybe they ask, “How long have you been in business?” “Well, we've been here in Litchfield for 26 years. We own the space we're in, so I'm hoping not to go anywhere else. This is my ideal. You'll find me here next year and hopefully in 10 years, in 20 years.” Beyond that, I'm not sure I can say any more, but I think the online buyer has to be just as wary, but perhaps in different ways. Sharon: What kinds of ways? As to the right questions? Jeff: The questions I get asked a lot: I get asked if I could send a video of the piece in natural light because they're concerned about the color. You know what? They should be. We have great photographic resources. Frequently I will decline to let my team sell a piece online because we can't get a picture that properly shows the color of a colored stone. Even though it looks right on our screens, which are calibrated, it's going to look really different on a phone. Phone screens are the best. It's going to look better on a phone than it might even look in person. It's going to look different on different screens. So, I think it's not a bad thing to ask some questions. Personally, I would call and say, “What does this look like in person? Can you describe it?” That's a frequent question, and I think it's a good one. People ask about the guarantee. You and I have discussed many times that the 10-second lecture on buying online is all about the guarantee. You have to be guaranteed that you can return something you don't like for any reason, no questions asked. Sharon: If I knew I could return something without any questions asked, I'd probably feel more comfortable, at least on some of these purchases. Jeff: I agree completely. There are many situations where you can't return pieces that are online and where you can't inspect them in person. As dealers, we can deal with having a certain amount of loss. Maybe in this particular situation, you buy from them several times a year, and maybe two or three pieces aren't right and you have to fix them. You hope to sell them for something close to what you paid and you move on. People say, “Well, it's just the cost of doing business.” As long as you feel like you're doing well overall, then O.K., that's great. But I think if you have a bad experience as a buyer, as a consumer, I would probably not go back to that situation. I would try to find some place you trust more. Sharon: That's probably good advice. Jeff, thank you so much for giving us your tips. I'm sure there are a lot more we didn't cover, but thank you very much. Jeff: You're so welcome. Sharon: We will have photos posted on the website.

Kemp expressed doubt about the feasibility and constitutionality of a special session to bypass the law. Story 5: pathways As of August 17, only 265 people have enrolled in Georgia's new Pathways to Coverage program, which launched on July 1. This program provides Medicaid to Georgians aged 19 to 64 with a household income up to the federal poverty level and who meet the qualifying activities threshold but are not eligible for regular Medicaid. Governor Brian Kemp had estimated that around 345,000 Georgians could qualify for the program, but officials now expect an estimated adoption rate of around 90,000 to 100,000 by 2025. The program launched alongside the state's re-verification of Medicaid eligibility, which removed over 97,000 people from Medicaid roles, raising concerns about healthcare stability for affected families.   Story 6: grid   The U.S. faces the challenge of needing significant new transmission capacity for its aging electric grid, and while Congress has taken steps on permitting reform, grid-enhancing technologies (GETs) could make better use of the existing system and reduce the need for new transmission lines. GETs include sensors, power-flow devices, software, and hardware that maximize the grid's efficiency. These technologies can help alleviate congestion, a major issue on the electric grid, by rerouting power through optimal paths and minimizing the use of expensive power generation methods. While GETs offer significant benefits, utility incentives and regulations often favor capital-intensive transmission projects over GETs, leading to slower adoption in the U.S.   We'll be back in a moment   Break 3: ESOG – Ingles 9 - Cumming   Story 7: gang   Jeffery Rice, a confirmed member of the Red Tape Gang, has been convicted and sentenced to 30 years in connection with a fatal shooting that occurred in Athens-Clarke County on October 21, 2022. The sentence includes 18 years to be served in prison and the remainder on strict probation. The Red Tape Gang has ties to major national Bloods gangs. The conviction is part of ongoing efforts to dismantle gang networks that incite violence in communities. The case was investigated by the Athens-Clarke County Police Department's Homicide and Gang Units, with assistance from the Attorney General's Gang Prosecution Unit, resulting in the indictment of 15 defendants, including seven alleged Red Tape Gang members, over the past year for various incidents, including fatal shootings, assault, and robbery.   Story 8: lanier   Margaritaville at Lanier Islands is set to introduce Georgia's first waterslide coaster, Apocalypso, in 2024. Apocalypso is part of a new tower of four water slides, representing the park's most significant expansion in decades. Apocalypso is described as the "ultimate fusion waterslide" with thrilling plunges, uphill blasts, and the largest blasterango drop in the country. The expansion will bring the total number of slides in the water park to 15. Additionally, the park will feature three other world-class slides starting from the Apocalypso tower.

Today, the Two Mikes spoke with two very important guests,, members of a Georgia-based organization “Georgians For Truth” (https://www.georgiansfortruth.org) and the leaders of a component part of that organization called “Paper Please”, which is demanding that only paper ballots be used in the 2024 election and that ballots be counted at the precinct level.Recently, Mr. Carnline and Mr. Searcy attended a Republican Party summer fish-fry that featured an appearance by Georgia's governor Brian Kemp. The event's gate keepers refused to admit them because the two men were wearing “Paper Please” T-shirts. The two men decided to stay, went back to their cars and put on different T-shirts, and were then admitted. It was fortunate for all Americans that they did so as they listened and taped comments by Governor Kemp, admitting that he knew – well before the 2024 election -- that Georgia's election machines were hackable and he let the voting go ahead. In addition, the machines that Georgia purchased in 2019 for $107 million were still run on the older and hackable Windows-10 were used, and the other software installed in the machines were five versions behind the best, most secure, and easily available version of the software. Mr. Carnline and Mr. Searcy are calm, well-spoken, Christian, and clearly brave gentlemen who, with the Georgians for Truth organization, are lighting a fire among Georgians to demand paper ballots for 2024 and the bringing to justice those who permitted hackable voting machines to be used in the 2020 election and then knowingly and illegally certified the 2020 election results in Georgia. The organization's website https://www.georgiansfortruth.org contains a wealth of information for Americans in all states who are interested in assuring that future elections are free and fair.

Today, The Two Mikes were very fortunate to have a short discussion with Georgia State Senator Colton Moore, a man who is regarded as the most conservative Georgia state senator. Senator Moore has initiated and is leading a movement to stop what he accurately describes as "rogue" District Attorney -- Fani Willis -- from continuing her attempt to destroy free speech by trying Trump and 18 others --including one of Moore's fellow Georgian Senator -- for criticizing the conduct of the 2020 election via tweets and other venues of free speech. Senator Moore is calling for an immediate and emergency session of the Georgia legislature that will take two actions: (1) cut state funding for the district attorney to stop the use of the taxes paid by Georgians being used to destroy the 1st Amendment, and (2) begin an investigation of the attorney general and her contacts with the federal government and other anti-free speech entities. Senator Moore noted that the government of Georgia has to date received 40,000 sworn affidavits from Georgians claiming to have witnessed election fraud in 2020. Senator Moore is having a hard slog so far as many members of the legislature seem fearful of supporting an emergency session, claiming that they have family obligations and other pressing matters to tend to while on vacation between legislative sessions.. Senator Moore is a bold, smart, aggressive, and well-spoken patriot and said he will not stop his demands for a special session. We hope Georgians rally to Moore's banner and get an emergency session called. Letters that support Moore and urge the Georgia legislature to convene from the taxpayers in other states probably would help get the job done We also wanted to note that a guest of our show author Joe Fried, has a new book out and it's going into a second printing. The book provides hard evidence and sound analysis of the illegal actions by governments, government agencies, attorneys, and individuals to successfully fix the 2020 presidential election and give it to Biden. The book is available at Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Debunked-auditor-reviews-election_and-lessons/dp/1645720756/ref=sr_1_1?crid=UBX0ILC1VGKW&keywords=joe+fried&qid=1692890686&sprefix=joe+fried%2Caps%2C120&sr=8-1 ) and many other booksellers.

Today's show opens with a comment from Donald Trump after being arrested, his mugshot taken and posting a cash bond for release. It's a sad day for our country and the rest of the world is both laughing at us and shaking their heads. Yet it seems, in the wake of the mugshot being released, the desired effect by these petulant and lawless collaborators seems to be exactly the opposite. To understand how nefarious these events are, we need to look back at recent history in Georgia – first by just a few months, then a few years. In May of 2023, while is went mostly unnoticed, a major victory was had in a Georgia Court of Appeals. While two initial lawsuits were struck down for lack of standing, thanks to an unrelated ruling by the GA Supreme Court saying an individual can have standing on public matters, the case of Favorito v. Wan and Jeffords v. Fulton County can now move forward. There is another sticking point. The judge that oversaw the big Fani Willis indictments out the Fulton County Grand jury is the judge who is supposed to hear the case. He has not. Judge McBurney has even received a motion to recuse because of his obvious bias and he has been sitting on it in an obvious move to stonewall the case. But, at some point, a forensic audit of the ballots in Fulton County will have to come to light. I then remind the audience about an investigation in December of 2020 where over 1,700 Georgians were singled out for illegally casting two ballots, but nothing was ever done. In fact, their votes were never canceled out, according to state election officials. Now let's look at the reason Fani Willis started her investigation. Remember the phone call Trump had with GA Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger where he supposedly demanded they find 11,800 votes? How many remember that being a lie? Raffensperger and his aide, Jordan Fuchs, saying that's what Trump said, but didn't have a recording? How many remember that very recording being found two months later in the recycle bin of a laptop? Turns out, all news entities that reported the demand to find votes had to print a retraction. But it was small and most of you might not even have known they ever did. You know who else acts like she didn't know it was a lie? Fani Willis. Her entire case is built upon the fabricated story. What's worse, Raffesperger had a meeting two weeks before the call with Catherine Engelbrecht, Founder of True the Vote. They both agreed there were at least 67,000 people who voted who were ineligible to cast a ballot. He knew that before the Trump call and then said Trump was fooling himself into thinking there was enough fraud to overcome the 11,799 margin by which Biden won the state. It's disgusting and infuriating! Investigative reporter Natalie Winters found out Fani Willis's campaign director became Joe Biden's coordinated campaign director for Georgia in 2020 and he had vowed to “take down Trump” as far back as 2017. Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) issued a letter to Fani Willis regarding the indicment, indicating Congress was going to be investigating it. Even Tulsi Gabbard commented how Democrats are not looking out for the interests of our country or our democracy. Washington Post columnist Henry Olsen suddenly changed his tune and thinks Joe and Hunter Biden need to be investigated. What's going on there? The Leftist rag dedicated to being one of the loudest propagandists of the Left is printing stories about the need for a focused look at the alleged illegal activity? At the same time, the FDA is trying to convince us there is no need for clinical trial for any annual Covid boosters, regardless of how they have been altered. They liken it to the annual flu shot. However, Dr. Vinay Prasad points out that there must be clinical trials and even the annual flu vaccine goes through randomized control testing. And, on the subject of the vaxx, the CDC admits that the variant BA.2.86, dubbed “Pirola”, may be causing increased infection among those who have received the Covid vaccine. Of course, this audience has know about the vaccine's negative efficacy for a long time. To add to this, in Japan, Dr. Masanori Fukushima, Professor Emeritus at Kyoto University went off on the government of Japan for hiding the negative effects and lying to the people. His observations track with everything I've been telling you for months and months. Finally, a Lahaina resident tells Joe Biden to get lost, though she uses more colorful language. The Democrats may be losing the blue state of Hawaii if she represents the current views of the rest of the citizenry at the failure of government to do it's job and protect the people. They may have to get busy stuffing more ballots and rigging more elections if they start to lose their base like this.

Review of Masha Gessen's "The Man Without A Face" [previously in series: Erdogan, Modi, Orban, Xi] I. Vladimir Putin's Childhood As Metaphor For Life   Vladimir Putin appeared on Earth fully-formed at the age of nine. At least this is the opinion of Natalia Gevorkyan, his first authorized biographer. There were plenty of witnesses and records to every post-nine-year-old stage of Putin's life. Before that, nothing. Gevorkyan thinks he might have been adopted. Putin's official mother, Maria Putina, was 42 and sickly when he was born. In 1999, a Georgian peasant woman, Vera Putina, claimed to be his real mother, who had given him up for adoption when he was ten. Journalists dutifully investigated and found that a “Vladimir Putin” had been registered at her village's school, and that a local teacher remembered him as a bright pupil who loved Russian folk tales. What happened to him? Unclear; Artyom Borovik, the investigative journalist pursuing the story, died in a plane crash just before he could publish. Another investigative journalist, Antonio Russo, took up the story, but “his body was found on the edge of a country road . . . bruised and showed signs of torture, with techniques related to special military services.” https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/dictator-book-club-putin

Barry Loudermilk, introduced the American Confidence in Elections Act, a proposed election reform bill modeled after Georgia's controversial legislation from two years ago. The bill aims to tighten voter ID requirements, prohibit non-U.S. citizens from voting, and end private funding of election administration. Republicans framed their bill as a conservative approach to election integrity and criticized the Democrats' John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act as a federal takeover of voting. The Republican bill would incentivize states to adopt the proposed reforms and potentially withhold federal funds for non-compliance. Democrats argued against the GOP bill, stating that there was no widespread voter fraud in Georgia and criticizing the previous election reform measure for its limitations on drop boxes and challenges to voters. The hearing coincided with the second anniversary of Major League Baseball's decision to move the All-Star Game from Atlanta in response to the passage of Georgia's Senate Bill 202.   Story 5: art   The Hudgens Center for the Arts in Duluth has been running the smART Honors Scholarship Program for Gwinnett's young artists since 2004.

Students attend Saturday morning art sessions and work with professional artists to develop their skills and create a body of work. The program aims to enhance problem-solving, critical thinking, and creative skills while fostering leadership, confidence, discipline, and work ethic. The current exhibition showcases the artwork of the Class of 2023 and runs until July 29 at the Hudgens Center.   Story 6: recession   According to the Metro Atlanta Chamber's chief economist, the economy could experience a mild recession by the end of the year. However, it is still possible to avoid one. Major banks have been predicting a recession, but the exact timing is uncertain. Economic forecasters suggest that the scale of the recession would not be as severe as the Great Recession. Factors that could contribute to a recession include rising interest rates and the resumption of student loan payments. Georgia is better positioned to weather a recession compared to other states due to sustained job growth. The state's strong economy, job creation, and business-friendly environment contribute to its resilience.   We'll be back in a moment   Break 3: ESOG – Ingles 9- Ag Pro 30   Story 7: aaron   The Atlanta Braves will honor the late Hank Aaron during Hank Aaron Week, which will take place from July 25-30.

In fact, a politician would have little political legitimacy if they were not in some way endorsed by the Church.” ●      “According to the Pew Research Center (surveyed young adults between the ages of 18-34), only 6% of Danes and 12% of Fins, and 7% of Spaniards stated that they opposed same-sex marriage. Those numbers rise exponentially when one reaches Poland, where 50% of young people oppose same-sex marriage. I mean, we literally go from 7% opposition to 50% opposition when you cross from Western to Central Europe!" ●      “The discrepancy increases the farther we go into Eastern Europe. So, 75% of Serbs, 82% of Ukrainians, 86% of Russians, and, as you might have guessed, 94% of Georgians (beaten out only by 95% of Armenians) all absolutely oppose the notion of same-sex marriage.” ●      “The Russian Duma unanimously voted to institute a total ban on all so-called gender-affirming surgeries.” ●      “Secular liberalism entails its own ‘demographic contradiction'. Liberalism necessitates the freedom not to reproduce and so, as it turns out, secular liberalism is an inherently futile belief system that by its nature undermines civilization! And Russia and Eastern Europe want no part in this!” ●      “Hollywood, which has for the last few decades been the chief pop-culture propaganda disseminator of everything liberal and woke is literally imploding right before our very eyes. For the first time in 60 years, in 6 decades, both writers and actors are on strike.”   Timestamps: [00:49] Why the annual Pride parade in the Georgian capital had to be canceled [09:10] The revival of traditional values in Eastern Europe - how poll show Eastern Europe oppose same-sex marriage [11:53] Russian Federation officially banning all gender reassignment surgeries [24:05] How a similar traditionalist uprising is happening even within the Democrat Party [27:20] On the latest in the implosion of woke Hollywood [33:28] Q&A Resources:  ●      Get carrying TODAY with Countrywide Concealed HERE: https://www.frebahlem.com/BG484F42/G38H44Q/ ●      Learn how to protect your life savings from inflation and an irresponsible government, with Gold and Silver.

Just how rich were Georgian bankers? What did they eat for lunch? And could they be described as “virtuous”? Speaking with Rob Attar, Professor Anne Murphy answers these questions and more as she delves into the extensive reports of an 18th-century investigation into the workings of the Bank of England to reveal how one of the great engines of the British state operated in this age of revolution. (Ad) Anne Murphy is the author of Virtuous Bankers: A Day in the Life of the Eighteenth-Century Bank of England (Princeton University Press, 2023).
