Radio pundit Paul Harvey issued a foreboding broadcast warning to the American people in 1965. His initiatives impacted about 24 million people every week for forty years, starting in the 1950s.
Even though he was right about everything he said, no one thought his predictions would come true fifty-three years later.
Listening to this news still sends shivers down people’s spine.
Paul starts his “prophecy” with the words, “If I were the Devil.” He then goes on to address some of the problems that we currently face. Everyone ought to hear this. Unfortunately, fifty-four years ago, Paul Harvey was right on the money.
Therefore, I should start working to conquer the United States, no matter what. I would start with a whispering campaign. As I whispered to Eve, “Do as you please,” I would whisper to you with the wisdom of a serpent.
“The Bible is a myth,” I would say to the kids. I would persuade them that, rather than the other way around, “man created God.” “What is good is square, and what is bad is good,” I would confide.
I would whisper to young married people that cocktail parties are healthy and that work is demeaning. I would advise them against being “extreme” in their moral behavior, religion, or patriotism.
And I would educate the elderly to pray.
I would then organize myself. In order to make anything else seem boring and uninteresting, I would teach writers how to make obscene literature appealing. Dirtier films are what I would threaten TV with, and vice versa.
I would infiltrate unions and advocate for less labor and more laziness. I frequently work with idle hands. I would sell booze to distinguished ladies and gentlemen, sell drugs to everybody I could, and use pills to put the others to sleep.
If I were the Devil, I would support educational institutions in developing students’ minds while ignoring the need to control their emotions. Preachers would declare, “She’s right,” and I would appoint an atheist to represent me in the highest courts.
I would use charm and power promises to persuade the courts to rule against God and I would then deify science and replace religion with psychology in his own churches. If I were Satan, I would create a bottle as the Christmas symbol and an egg as the Easter sign.
If I were the Devil, I would steal from the wealthy and give to the desirous until I destroyed the motivation of the ambitious. Everyone would then have to return to work in my police state.
I would then split up families, assigning women to coal mines, children to uniforms, and objectors to slave-labor camps.
If I were Satan, I would simply carry on with my current course of action, and the world would undoubtedly end up in hell.
In the 1970s, my mother and I would listen to Paul Harvey. He is absolutely correct in all of his statements. What he said fifty-four years ago is exactly what is happening today!
