In 1965, Paul Harvey’s warning was broadcast: Today, it’s sadly come true

Paul Harvey, the news commentator and talk-radio pioneer whose staccato style made him one of the United States’ most familiar voices, reached more than 24 million listeners at the peak of his career.

Although he was very accurate on everything he had to say, no one could imagine that his famous words from 54 years ago would become the reality of today.

I read this today and thought how relevant it is.

The speech was broadcast by legendary ABC Radio commentator Paul Harvey on  April 3, 1965.

He starts his ‘prophesy’ by saying: If I were the Devil… and then continues discussing issues that are these days ours to face.

EVERYBODY should listen to this. Sad to say but Paul Harvey was spot on 54 years ago.

”If I Were the Devil If I were the Prince of Darkness I would want to engulf the whole earth in darkness.

I’d have a third of its real estate and four-fifths of its population, but I would not be happy until I had seized the ripest apple on the tree.

So I should set about however necessary, to take over the United States.

I would begin with a campaign of whispers.

With the wisdom of a serpent, I would whispers to you as I whispered to Eve, “Do as you please.”

To the young I would whisper “The Bible is a myth.” I would convince them that “man created God,” instead of the other way around. I would confide that “what is bad is good and what is good is square.”

In the ears of the young married I would whisper that work is debasing, that cocktail parties are good for you. I would caution them not to be “extreme” in religion, in patriotism, in moral conduct.

And the old I would teach to pray — to say after me — “Our father which are in Washington.”

Then I’d get organized.

I’d educate authors in how to make lurid literature exciting so that anything else would appear dull, uninteresting.

I’d threaten TV with dirtier movies, and vice-versa.

I’d infiltrate unions and urge more loafing, less work. Idle hands usually work for me.

I’d peddle narcotics to whom I could, I’d sell alcohol to ladies and gentlemen of distinction, I’d tranquilize the rest with pills.

If I were the Devil, I would encourage schools to refine young intellects, but neglect to discipline emotions; let those run wild.

I’d designate an atheist to front for me before the highest courts and I’d get preachers to say, “She’s right.”

With flattery and promises of power I would get the courts to vote against God and in favor of pornography.

Thus I would evict God from the courthouse, then from the schoolhouse, then from the Houses of Congress.

Then in his own churches I’d substitute psychology for religion and deify science.

If I were Satan I’d make the symbol of Easter an egg

And the symbol of Christmas a bottle.

If I were the Devil I’d take from those who have and give to those who wanted until I had killed the incentive of the ambitious. Then my police state would force everybody back to work.

Then I would separate families, putting children in uniform, women in coal mines and objectors in slave-labor camps.

If I were Satan I’d just keep doing what I’m doing and the whole world go to hell as sure as the Devil”

I use to listen to Paul Harvey with my mom in the 70s. He is very accurate on everything he says. All the things he mentioned 54 years ago are exactly what’s going on NOW!

Incredible man, Incredible insight. Share this if you agree. 

The Body Part You Wash First While Bathing Reveals Your Personality

Ever consider how your showering habits can disclose some of your deepest secrets? It’s accurate! According to scientific theories, what you wash in the shower first can reveal a lot about your personality. It seems like a scene from a psychic’s script, don’t you think? So grab a seat, for this insight will clear your doubts and leave you feeling uncannily accurate.

Get a loofah out of curiosity or giggle until you cry because what you do in the first few minutes of taking a shower says a lot. Let’s explore this soap opera and see what your approach to taking showers says about you.

1. If you initially wash your hair

Oh, those who prioritize their hair! What’s wrong with you? If you wash your hair right away, you’re probably a control freak who gets upset by even the tiniest hairstyling. Isn’t it the “my way or the highway” mentality you possess? Your life’s shampoo and conditioner are order and discipline, and to be honest, you probably give up bubble baths in favor of timeliness. When choosing companions, you put intelligence above strength because, let’s face it, no one wants to stick around with a knucklehead.

2. If you first wash your chest

Washers who put their chests first are showing off their skills with assurance. In a group of betas, you’re the alpha. You speak the truth; I won’t put you through any sly tricks. Feeling at ease in your own flesh? You have plenty of comfort, I see! Your confidence in yourself and your short-term objectives is almost irritating, as though having second thoughts is a crime.

3. If you initially wash your underarms

Armpit enthusiasts, you are the people that everyone wants to be around during a party or emergency. You exude dependability and empathy. Because you love without limits, friends come swarming to you. Your universe is dominated by black-and-white thinking: there is either complete scorn or great devotion. Reasonable tones of gray? Not for you, haha!

4. If you cleanse your face firsts

Oh boy, you’ve got your vanity on full display, face-first washers! Immediately catering to all five senses demonstrates a near-obsession with one’s own appearance. Too anxious? Indeed! As though your soul depended on it, you’re anxious about remarks and criticism. Unwind—no one is paying that much attention. Could you perhaps quit glancing at your mirror in every puddle?

Don’t waste time fretting about a terrible hair day ever again since life is too short!

5. If you first wash your neck and shoulders

People with necks and shoulders, you overachievers! Cleaning here first indicates that you’re successfully hunting as if this were your main food source. Your objectives seem heavy to you, and to be honest, it’s making you feel like Herculean lifters. You adore being the center of attention in every circumstance and are fiercely competitive. Here’s a secret: you’re doing such a great job carrying that weight that it hardly shows.

6. If you initially wash your legs or arms

Arms and legs? You are the salt of the earth, after all, aren’t you? You are, on the one hand, as modest and grounded as a monk in zen mode. Conversely, you are displaying your limbs as though they were banners of power and rebellion. The only thing that can match your determination and willpower are your extreme dislike and intense affection for an object. I’m happy to have you join the human contradictions team!

7. If you initially wash your underwear

Do you still grit your teeth? Cleaning your underwear first makes you seem like the bashful one—possibly a capital-I introvert. Even though you’re not the light of the party, people who connect with you find you to be quite sincere. socially disregarded? Perhaps. A jewel that’s hidden? Without a doubt. You find it difficult to stand up for yourself, yet everyone in your immediate circle benefits from your warmth.

8. Alternative

You are the “other” parts washer, the wild card. Are you not complex? It’s as though you’ve mixed up a secret recipe for mayhem and kindness. You’re a stand-up guy at heart, maybe even interesting. It’s time to start living a little more boldly, embrace unpredictability, and flaunt your individual flare. And who knows, your perfect mate? Seek for someone who worries about their appearance as much as you do about appearing erratic. A union made in heaven, indeed!

There you have it, then. Even something as easy as cleaning up can reveal a lot about who you are! One scrape at a time, who would have thought that those soothing minutes under the mist could strip you of your secrets and expose your soul? Maybe consider your priority list the next time you take a shower. Happy cleaning until then!
