We weren’t founded as a democracy. We were founded as a republic — “if you can keep it.” And for the last 50 years, we’ve systematically lost it.
Larry Ballard launches Restoring the Republic — a weekly series that uncovers what made America great, how we lost it, and how we get it back. Part 1 lays the foundation: the five founding principles (the Bible, liberty, morality, education, law), the difference between a republic and a democracy, and why the government works for us — not the other way around.
Ballard shares his 57-year journey of preparation — from a near-death experience in 1968 to God directing him to read the Bible, the Koran, psychology, sociology, history, and work jobs ranging from construction to nuclear energy to China. All of it, he says, for this exact moment in history.
He breaks down Donald Trump’s plan: national security, closed borders, shared values, honest elections, a constitution based on the laws of God, free speech, sovereign currency (gold, silver, commodities), global financial parity, and manufacturing prowess. He explains why England — not China or Russia — is the real enemy, controlling the world through the City of London and Lloyd’s of England. He reveals how the same feudal system that enslaved Europe is alive and well today — you don’t own your home, you’re a tenant paying property taxes to a government that can take it whenever it wants.
Ballard calls for an army of informed citizens to step up — into banking, corporate leadership, local and federal politics. The reset is at the door. The question is: who will be ready to lead when the old system collapses?
