This speech was broadcast by legendary ABC Radio commentator Paul Harvey on April 3, 1965: 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

I heard this a few days ago. prophetic. just what obama is doing.
i heard this today.. very prophetic is right
Glenn Beck just played that clip on his radio show. Listening to it with the understanding that it was recorded in 1965 will make the hair stand up on the back of your neck.
There doesn’t seem to be enough impediment to Satan’s plans for America these days. Things seem to be rolling along quite nicely for him. Where good is called bad, and bad is held aloft as good.
I heard it, as well; and I couldn't agree with you more...
Re-post where ever you can . . . so many just don’t get it.

Woodstock was the first big visual indicator that things were headed in the wrong direction.
Paul Harvey also said the following: “WHEN YOUR OUTGO EXCEEDS YOUR INCOME, YOUR UPKEEP WILL BE YOUR DOWNFALL.”

If you care to, look up 2 Timothy 3: 1-7
Stunningly prophetic.
Yet... in 1965, Charles Shultz barely got “A Charlie Brown Christmas” approved by ABC, because of the Bible references.
And prayer had already been removed from govt schools.
So Paul may have been extrapolating from the cultural revolution already underway.
I grew up every summer when I was home listening to Paul Harvey at lunchtime throughly enjoyable uplifting man.
2 Timothy 3: 1-7
1 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.
6 They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over gullible women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, 7 always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth.

How can we verify that this was made in 1965? Several sites say that Harvey “published” the written version of this in the early 1990s.
Is there a way to verify the age of the audio?
Excellent post...I have read this many times, and never tire of reading it again.
It’s a perfect description of today.
Yes, at noon we’d sit and listen to paul Harvey as we ate lunch. We were kids and enjoyed him. Today the kids would laugh at him.
With the wisdom of a serpent, I would whisper to you as I whispered to Eve: “Do as you please.” “Do as you please.”
