Paul Harvey’s 1965 Broadcast: “If I Were the Devil”
“If I were the Devil…”
In his prophetic broadcast on April 3, 1965, Paul Harvey outlines a vision of how he would corrupt society if he were the Devil. Harvey’s words reflect his concerns about moral and societal decay, and they seem eerily relevant today.
Key Points from Harvey’s Broadcast:
Subversion Through Whispers:
-
- Harvey suggests that the Devil would start with a campaign of whispers, eroding foundational beliefs. He would convince the youth that the Bible is a myth and that moral values are outdated.
Influencing the Young and Old:
To the young, he would promote skepticism towards religion and elevate materialism. To the old, he would instill misplaced reverence for government rather than faith or tradition.
Corrupting Media and Education:
Harvey predicts a push towards more provocative and less substantive media content, undermining traditional values. He also foresees a shift in educational focus from discipline to intellectual refinement alone.
