In 1965, renowned American news commentator Paul Harvey delivered a chilling broadcast that warned of a grim future for the United States—one that, decades later, has disturbingly come to pass.
Harvey, famous for his distinct staccato delivery and keen insights, captivated millions of listeners with his prophetic message. Although he was respected for his accuracy, few could have anticipated just how eerily his words would align with the challenges we face today.
The speech, aired on April 3, 1965, imagines Harvey as the Devil, plotting the downfall of America from within. What followed was a haunting outline of strategies that seem to have foreshadowed many of the issues plaguing the nation now.
Some of Harvey’s prophetic warnings included:
- The emergence of a “cultural elite” eroding traditional American values.
- The disintegration of the family unit and a decline in religious faith.
- Growing foreign influence in U.S. affairs.
- The widening gap between the wealthy and the poor.
- The rise of a “nanny state” diminishing personal freedom and initiative.
Harvey’s broadcast serves as a powerful reminder of the consequences that can follow when a nation strays from its foundational principles. His speech, more relevant than ever, offers a sobering reflection on the current state of America and is essential listening for anyone concerned about the country’s future.
