Paul Harvey’s Warning To America: If I
Were The Devil…
On April 3rd, 1965
legendary radio host Paul Harvey issued a warning to America. In this
warning, he detailed what he thought the devil should do if the devil wanted to
keep destroying the United States. Sadly, the truth is that most of this
stuff has come to pass. What Paul Harvey saw for America’s future back in
1965 if the devil had his way was eerily accurate. Please share this with
as many people as you can….
If I were the Devil .
. . I mean, if I were the Prince of Darkness, I would of course, want to engulf
the whole earth in darkness. I would 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 whisper to you as I
whispered to Eve: “Do as you please.” “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 marrieds, 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. I would teach them to say after me: “Our Father, which art in
Washington” . . .
If I were the devil,
I’d educate authors in how to make lurid literature exciting so that anything
else would appear dull an uninteresting. I’d threaten T.V. with dirtier movies
and vice versa.
And then, if I were
the devil, I’d get organized. I’d infiltrate unions and urge more loafing and
less work, because idle hands usually work for me.
I’d peddle narcotics
to whom I could. I’d sell alcohol to ladies and gentlemen of distinction. And
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 would designate an atheist to front for me
before the highest courts in the land and I would get preachers to say “she’s
right.”
With flattery and
promises of power, I could get the courts to rule what I construe as against
God and in favor of pornography, and thus, I would evict God from the
courthouse, and then from the school house, and then from the houses of
Congress and then, in His own churches I would substitute psychology for
religion, and I would deify science because that way men would become smart
enough to create super weapons, but not wise enough to control them.
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 would take from those
who have and I would give to those who wanted, until I had killed the incentive of the ambitious. And then, my police state would force everybody back to work. Then, I could separate families, putting children in uniform, women in coal mines, and objectors in slave camps.

In other words, if I
were Satan,
I’d just keep on doing what he’s doing.
I’d just keep on doing what he’s doing.
Paul Harvey, Good Day.
