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. 

If you see someone with a three-dot tattoo, you might want to get out of there fast …

Most of the time, humans are incredibly creative people that are always willing to express themselves through actions that mirror their inner emotions and ideas.

To better express their inner creativity, some people write, others construct things, and yet others use art. The act of creating something that other people can understand is more significant than the technique.

This is nothing new, really. We have nearly as much history of creation and construction as a species. Take a look around you and you’ll see artistic touches in almost everything that people have created, including simple city planning, food, clothing, and architecture.

Therefore, it should not be shocking that so many of us decide to use our own skin as a canvas.

I am speaking of tattoos, which for the past few millennia have been deeply significant in a wide variety of civilizations throughout the world. Although in the past some communities disapproved of tattoos, they are now more commonly recognized as a way for the wearer to show their individuality and soul.

Although this differs from person to person, most people who choose to have tattoos consider them to be significant in some way. Words or phrases that really resonate are prevalent, as are signs and symbols indicating a passion or interest.

The notion that the majority of tattoos have a meaning is possibly what makes this so fascinating. To put it another way, they may offer a clear or hazy window into the owner’s thoughts.

Now, it’s crucial to keep in mind that this doesn’t always imply good things. Some people wear emblems that the bulk of society despises with pride. Some people have tattoos, which could be a clear warning indication.

As an illustration, take the three-dot tattoo, which is often believed to have a direct connection to the Russian penal system. You may not be familiar with the three straightforward dots in a line that we’re talking about here, but you’ve probably seen or at least heard of people with facial tattoos—many of whom have a criminal history.

Regardless, I was… and I felt it would be great to spread the word about the meaning in case you ever come across someone sporting this kind of tattoo.

In short, the three-dot tattoo has many symbolic connotations and typically represents devotion, secrecy, and the duration of a person’s prison sentence. The actual marking, which is frequently applied to the left hand, is said to have its origins in Buddhist symbology. The dots are meant to symbolize a rejection of violence and wickedness; they are said to represent the three wise monkeys who see no evil, hear no evil, and say no evil.

The three-dot tattoo is really more frequently associated with the Russian prison system, as it is regarded as a mark for extremely serious offenders. A person with three dots may have spent up to thirty years in prison because each dot is meant to symbolize ten years of incarceration.

The three-dot symbol is another way that criminal groups can utilize their members to identify themselves. In these situations, others may interpret the tattoo as a threat or warning.

Having said that, it’s crucial that you follow your gut and exercise common sense when deciding how to respond if and when you come across someone who has a three-dot tattoo in person.

Some people may get it inked on them for cosmetic reasons without having any connection to illegal conduct at all. Some might have undergone reform and rehabilitation, making them less dangerous than they previously were.

Although it’s usually best to avoid making snap judgments, at least you’re maybe a little more prepared now!
