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.

BEN AFFLECK, 52, SEEN WITH MYSTERY WOMAN WHO’S A JENNIFER GARNER LOOKALIKE

You might have thought that the drama involving Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez was over, especially since Jennifer officially filed for divorce last week.

But you’d be wrong.

It looks like there’s still more to this story, with new rumors and reports about what Affleck and JLo might do next showing up online.

If reports are true, Affleck could be moving on already—he’s been seen spending time with a mystery woman.

For a long time, it’s been clear that Affleck and Lopez’s marriage was in trouble. They got back together almost twenty years after their first breakup, and for a while, it seemed like they might finally get the happy ending their fans had always hoped for.

When ‘Bennifer’ surprised everyone by getting married in Las Vegas in 2022, it seemed like they were on track to be one of the most iconic Celebrity couples of the 21st century.

Earlier this year, however, signs of trouble started to appear. People said that Affleck had moved out of the couple’s fancy Beverly Hills mansion, and both he and Lopez were spotted without their wedding rings at times.

With rumors spreading fast and people wanting answers, neither Affleck nor Lopez spoke out about what was happening. Their silence only made people believe even more that something was seriously wrong.

When Lopez canceled her planned tour of North America, saying she needed to spend time with her family, it was clear to many people that she and Affleck were likely headed for divorce.

Then, at the beginning of last week, Lopez officially filed for divorce at the Los Angeles County Superior Court. She did it on the very day that would have been their second wedding anniversary.

It’s unclear how the couple is dealing with the breakup privately, but it doesn’t seem like Affleck is sitting alone in a dark room, feeling sad about it. According to reports, the 52-year-old has been seen with the same female companion several times since Lopez filed for divorce.

The woman has caught the attention of people online, with some saying she looks a lot like Affleck’s ex-wife, Jennifer Garner.

The mystery woman is 36-year-old Kick Kennedy, the daughter of Robert F. Kennedy. Radar Online first reported on August 24, four days after JLo filed for divorce, that Affleck and Kennedy were seen spending time together.

Radar Online says that Affleck and Kennedy have been spotted at fancy places like the Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel. However, neither of them has commented on their relationship.

One user on X (formerly Twitter) wrote: “Looks exactly like Jennifer Garner…”

Another person added, “She looks like his ex-wife, not JLo. Jennifer Garner.”

Someone on Instagram wrote, “Jennifer Garner look-alike.”

Another fan on Facebook said, “She looks more his type than J-Lo does… like Jen Garner more than Jen Lopez seems his type.”https://www.instagram.com/p/C_Gl_R7vky0/embed/captioned/?cr=1&v=14&wp=540&rd=https%3A%2F%2Fjokesdaddy.com&rp=%2Fben-affleck-52-seen-with-mystery-woman-whos-a-jennifer-garner-lookalike%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwY2xjawFAINBleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHVavgU8k52g0Umu4nxrHc8kqVpOkQxhyiJcedXubfY2VVbRtcbwuEDuxDg_aem_z5W7ZfLHjs7GXmtYZ83bvw#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A2117.699998855591%2C%22ls%22%3A1348.1999988555908%2C%22le%22%3A2108.199998855591%7D

Last week, fans made it clear they thought Affleck looked “happy” on the day Lopez filed to end their marriage.

Affleck was seen arriving back in Los Angeles with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, on August 20, the same day Lopez filed the divorce papers. This was enough to get people talking online.

One person commented on Instagram, “Man is happy!”

Another said, “He is so happy. I have never seen him smile like that. Whoa.”

A third person wrote, “He looks SO happy!”

Someone else added, “I kinda feel bad for JLo. I think she tried too hard to make it work, but he always showed a bad face with her, and with his kids’ mom, all happiness. Imagine how your wife may feel.”
