G. Edward Griffin explains the difference between a direct democracy and a constitutional republic. The USA is a Constitutional Republic 🇺🇸

Reading The Creature from Jekyll Island really opened my eyes

Exactly 👍

@HarperLee6557 An important distinction!

Love this! The Founders only spoke of Democracy as a danger and evil. The word never appears in our founding documents . They knew that straight Democracy, mob rule, has never worked in the history of any nation.

Wonderful material, Carrie.

I have an idea for a new bill!! National Security and Economic Integrity Act of 2026 A BILL To protect the national security and economic integrity of the United States from subversive activities that threaten its democratic institutions and free-market system, while upholding constitutional rights and due process. **Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,** SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE; TABLE OF CONTENTS. (a) **Short Title.**—This Act may be cited as the "National Security and Economic Integrity Act of 2026". (b) **Table of Contents.**—The table of contents for this Act is as follows: Sec. 1. Short title; table of contents. Sec. 2. Findings and purpose. Sec. 3. Definitions. Sec. 4. Prohibited activities. Sec. 5. Restrictions on participation in sensitive positions. Sec. 6. Disclosure requirements for political organizations. Sec. 7. Enforcement and penalties. Sec. 8. Safeguards and exemptions. Sec. 9. Oversight and reporting. Sec. 10. Repeals and amendments. Sec. 11. Severability. Sec. 12. Effective date. SECTION 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE. (a) **Findings.**—Congress finds the following: (1) The United States is founded on principles of democracy, free enterprise, private property, and open competition, which are essential to its prosperity and security. (2) Foreign and domestic actors may engage in subversive activities, including espionage, disinformation, and sabotage, to undermine these principles. (3) Such activities must be addressed through targeted measures that focus on demonstrable harms rather than ideological beliefs, in accordance with the First Amendment and other constitutional protections. (4) Existing laws, such as the Foreign Agents Registration Act and anti-espionage statutes, provide a framework but require updating to address modern threats like cyber interference and economic coercion. (5) Any restrictions must incorporate due process, equal protection, and judicial oversight to prevent abuse. (b) **Purpose.**—The purpose of this Act is to: (1) Criminalize specific subversive actions that pose a clear and present danger to national security or economic integrity. (2) Enhance transparency and accountability for organizations with foreign ties. (3) Protect constitutional rights by limiting application to provable conduct, not mere association or speech. SECTION 3. DEFINITIONS. In this Act: (1) **Subversive Activity** means any action intended to unlawfully disrupt, sabotage, or coerce elements of the U.S. economic system, government, or critical infrastructure, including through violence, espionage, or foreign-directed influence. (2) **Critical Infrastructure** has the meaning given in section 1016(e) of the USA PATRIOT Act (42 U.S.C. 5195c(e)). (3) **Foreign Agent** has the meaning given in section 1 of the Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938 (22 U.S.C. 611). (4) **Clear and Present Danger** means advocacy or actions that incite imminent lawless action, as interpreted by the Supreme Court in Brandenburg v. Ohio (395 U.S. 444 (1969)). SECTION 4. PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES. (a) **Criminal Offenses.**—It shall be unlawful for any person to: (1) Engage in or conspire to commit subversive activity that creates a clear and present danger to the U.S. government, economy, or critical infrastructure. (2) Act as an unregistered foreign agent in promoting disinformation or coercion aimed at undermining free-market institutions. (3) Participate in coordinated efforts to sabotage economic sectors, such as through cyber attacks or supply chain disruptions, with intent to cause widespread harm. (b) **Evidence Requirement.**—Prosecutions under this section require proof beyond a reasonable doubt of specific intent and actions, not mere ideological affiliation. …contd

Read his book!

"The USA is a Constitutional Republic 🇺🇸" Correction. The USA WAS a Constitutional Republic. That ended in 1865. Because of a "Marxist" overthrow. Facts.

Good stuff!

@SaltyGoat17 Our nation is founded on biblical teachings. God will not be mocked. 👀 In the word democracy - de- “moc” racy / demons have infiltrated our land.

@Real_Ames Amen! We must keep it that way.

@RickyDoggin Thank you. One of my big pet peeves, calling this constitutional country a democracy. The other is a hyphenated allegiance. One is either African or American, not both. I do not title myself a Lithuanian-American, my grandparents came here from Lithuania. I am an American!

When I was looking up the history of government types this is what I came across too. I will always want a republic. A lot of our leaders say democracy but we are more than that we are a republic and we have a constitution.

Here Here!

who writes down the rules...

For those that don’t understand the difference you should listen to this

why argue this point?

Switzerland is a direct democracy, which seems to be quite a challenge to what he's saying.

@Sassafrass_84 🇺🇸

This doesn’t seem to be emphasized in school government courses in high school. It seems like the majority of the country can’t figure out Democracy vs Democratic Republic. The Democrat Party brays all day about democracy- but they really mean 1 party rule.

THE FASCIST PEDOPHILE YOU WORSHIP THINKS HE'S A KING.

Yes! Yes!! Yes!!!

My daughters SS textbook had some stupid version of democracy and not constitutional republic. It’s what they are teaching in schools.
