As the saying goes, ‘time marches on’ and the truthfulness of that statement is a reality that many of us deal with on a daily basis. When you think back 10 or 20 years ago, it may seem as if it has gone by in the blink of an eye. Then again, those of us who remember 1965 realize exactly how quickly that time has gone by as well. Even though it may truthfully be a lifetime ago, and things were quite different, there was something lurking in the background that was recognized by many people. One person managed to put it down for all to remember.

In 1965, radio personalities were larger than life. This included a man by the name of Paul Harvey, who was the voice of radio for many people. He had a daily show that most people would tune into and listen to without fail, and there were some 24 million who heard his show every day. If you don’t remember his show personally, perhaps you have heard something about it online. There was something that happened on April 3, 1965 in the form of a speech that was basically a warning for the future. When you hear it below, you will realize that it had an accuracy that will give you chills.

“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.”
