James Madison and the Gathering Storm Prophecy

While the States were considering ratifying the Constitution, James Madison describes a prophetic ‘gathering storm’, doomsday scenario for the United States. However, his description was hypothetical and purportedly unlikely. Madison paints a picture of what the union would look like under healthy conditions and then contrasts that with terminal conditions that would destroy the union. His portrayal is fascinating and worth applying today.

In Federalist Paper 46, Madison discusses the happy and healthy situation where the Federal and State governments respect their constitutional boundaries. Madison says, “[the federal government will] be disinclined to invade the rights of the individual States, or the prerogatives of their governments”. Congress would be the “guardians of a common interest” and would not make “improper sacrifices…of local considerations, to the aggrandizement of the federal government”.

Madison continues, “the motives on the part of the States governments, to augment their prerogatives…will be overruled by no reciprocal predispositions in the members [of Congress].” In other words, the States will not want to intrude into federal authority because the Federal government will not intrude in State territory. In this “constitutional ideal”, Madison sees everyone respecting the authority of the other.

  1. “The executive has no right, in any case, to decide the question, whether there is or is not cause for declaring war.”

    “The means of defense against foreign danger historically have become the instruments of tyranny at home.”

    “Where an excess of power prevails, property of no sort is duly respected. No man is safe in his opinions, his person, his faculties, or his possessions.”

    James Madison

    NULLIFY the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act. It was done by a gang of criminals.

  2. Unfortunately, the founders never imagined things like nuclear bombs, scientifically engineered pandemics and soft kill weapons like chemtrails, sodium fluoride, aspertame, arsenic, heavy metals, GMO foods and population control through things like abortion, pro- homosexuality education and sterilants in out air, food and water; and they definitely couldn’t fathom a small group of Stan worshippers gaining control of the entire earth who are of such great evil that their main objective is to murder 95% of the human population and enslave the remaining 5% to serve them as gods. in their quest to create heaven on earth for them and their spawn.

    • Typo “Satan” worshippers.

    • Straight up Nata Pals,straight up and the entirety of why things are so messed up and evil

  3. WE HAVE GONE SO FAR AWAY FROM THE GODLY PRINCIPLES THAT, WITH GOD’S GUIDANCE,WERE EXPRESSED BY THE FOUNDERS OF THIS ONCE GREAT NATION, ONLY MEN THAT HAVE KEPT THEIR FAITH IN THE LIVING WORD(JESUS CHRIST) CAN SEE AND UNDERSTAND HOW GOD HAS BLESSED THIS NATION.
    THAT EVEN DOE IMPERFECT MEN HAVE MADE AMERICA THEIR HOME, IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE HOLY SPIRIT INVOLVED IN THEIR LIFES OF ALL THOSE, GOD FEARING MEN, THAT HAVE MADE THE DIFERENCE.
    UNTIL THE ZIONIST BEGAN TO INVADE OUR BORDERS, LIKE A DARK CLOWD, WHOSE ONLY POURPOSE WAS AND ALWAYS IS TO DESTROY, MEN’S BELIVE IN THE ONLY LIVING GOD AND HIS SON JESUS CHRIST, BY INFILTRAITING OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM, OUR FAMILY STRUCTURE, OUR AIR WAVES,OUR GOVERNMENT, WHO LIKE SNAKES ALWAYS WORKING THEIR WAY UNDER THE RADAR, BY CALLLING THEMSELVES “THE CHOSEN PEOPLE”.
    WOULD IT NOT BE TRUE? THAT IF THEY WERE THE CHOSEN PEOPLE THEY WOULD ALL BE WILLING TO LIVE IN THE COUNTRY THAT ACORDING TO THE BIBLE WAS GIVEN TO THEM AND ENJOY ALL THE BLESSING OF GOD, THE ARE GRANTED TO ALL THOSE OF HIS CHILDREN WHOM HE LOVES.
    SO THE QUESTION TO ALL THOSE THAT ARE STILL IGNORANT OF WHO THE CHOSEN PEOPLE ARE THE CHRISTIANS IN FAVOR WITH THE ALL MIGHTY GOD?
    OR ARE THE ZIONIST JEWS, AND ALL THE REST OF THE ORIGINAL JEWS, THAT ARE SERVANTS TO ALL THIS CRIMINALS, IN ISRAEL THE ONES THAT ARE RECIVING THE BLESSINGS FROM GOD?.
    OR ARE THE ZIONIST STEALING THE CHRISTIAN BLESSINGS?

    • THANKS FOR THAT FIREBUG!!!!! WE READ YOU LOUD AND CLEAR!!!!!

  4. The Lost Book of “The Coming Battle” by M.W. Walbert, first published in 1899, is must reading for all who labor for human rights freedom.

    The drama that unfolded during President Jackson’s administration is characteristic of the drama within which the American people find themselves currently entagled. So, find a copy study the lessons of history as they currently apply. No doubt the Banksters are aware of Walbert’s book, they will move counter to its remedies. Stay on point. The Head of the Beast is the Privately controlled Bankster Cartel.

    • no that is not correct the head of the beast has always been the viper asp think what i am saying who is the serpent of sorceries and sets on it on seven hills in a place where the roman emperors set before the vatican pagan church of lucifer

      • Same thing. Currency is an occultic tool of Her powers, the British Crown is one of three points in its triangulation, i.e., DC, The City the Vatican. It’s no accident Tony Blair converted to Romanism. Globalism enjoins three aspects — military, finance eclesiastical. The “Mark of The Beast” is a statement of mental physical servitude — that of having one’s thoughts deeds co-opted pressed into service of “The Company.” DC is a Romanist enclave, as revealed by the Statue/Idol of Minerva perched atop the Capital Building. Indeed, the Vatican gher Priests of Ba’al Peor, are Luciferic the seat of the Illuminati — that through a manipulation of substance form a people would embrace their own destroyer.

  5. Madmen getting involved in government? Nah! Never happens. Go back to sleep…

  6. Most voters do no even know who Madison was, so we can’t expect them to understand the grave situation before us. We are doomed because the majority of voters are ignorant of history and indifferent to their civic duties.
