"IF I WERE THE DEVIL" Paul Harvey speaking in 1965 ~ Video

From the video description:

Broadcaster Paul Harvey outlines in 1965 what he would do if he were the devil .. Interesting to compare this nightmarish vision to today.

I remember finding this audio of Paul Harvey many years ago, as we progressed into the internet age.  I found the words of Paul to be spot on.  Even a decade ago, I was able to save that audio to my computer, and have managed to keep it.  But, while perusing through Parler.com (you can find me here) today, I came across this very well done video, with the Paul Harvey audio of "If I Were the Devil." It was uploaded to Youtube on March 1, 2019, so it is very much up to date. 

There is one thing that I should tell you, this is probably not appropriate for young children to watch.  I beg you to watch this but please not with the little children in the room.  Keep in mind what this is about.  The Devil has lead many Americans to be doing some pretty bad and sick things.

WIFLI Briefing for Apr 24, 2012 - If I Wanted America to Fail

Welcome to this edition of Time 2 Escape WIFLI Briefing!

What is WIFLI?
You may be wondering what the acronym "WIFLI" means. I started out by calling these issues the Time 2 Escape Daily, but that didn't work out very well. I quickly learned that putting these issues together on a daily basis was a task I was unable to accomplish. To replace "Daily" in the title, I borrowed the acronym WIFLI, which literally means "When I Feel Like It." Putting together a post on this blog WIFLI works much better for my schedule, and for the higher quality of each issue that is eventually published!

In this extremely important issue, you are about to become clearly aware of what we face in our near future should the enemies of freedom - GOLIATH - prevail. You will also learn that there are solutions, and there are many DAVIDs out there that are willing to take on that GOLIATH.

We remember Andrew Breitbart. He was not alone. Neither is Herman Cain. Neither are you or I.  There were many of us in the Tea Party that may have felt small on our own, but we soon realized that we weren't alone.  There was no reason to be afraid. We the People (DAVID) collectively gathered and helped to make things much more difficult for Obama to do by getting the GOP back in control of the House of Representatives in 2010. We at least slowed GOLIATH down a little.

It just happened that while watching "The Five" on Fox News on Monday (4/23/12), I happened to see a video that inspired me to get this issue published ASAP! And the video that caught my attention - If I Wanted America to Fail - is a true wake-up call.  We have a lot of work to do before November 6, 2012.

If I wanted America to fail, I would do nothing. However, I'll be happy to be somebody like George Bailey (DAVID) going up against the evil Mr. Potter (GOLIATH) like we saw in that tremendous classic film, "It's a Wonderful Life."

Watch the videos you will see below, and then decide if there is anything you and I can do.  I'm in complete agreement with what Herman Cain wrote in his column, "An army of Davids," especially that: "We the People must be an army of Davids to take our liberties back from Goliath."

What we must do was summarized exquisitely by Ralph Marston almost ten years ago!

No matter how much you push against the darkness it will not go anywhere. Yet the moment you shine your light, the darkness is no more. When you fight against your problems, all it usually accomplishes is to make them stronger and give them more validity. Instead, seek to transform those problems, those difficult situations, by virtue of your own positive values and efforts.

Rather than struggling against the situation, give the best you have to it. Rather than fighting darkness with more darkness, transform that darkness by letting your light shine.

— Ralph Marston, Light the darkness, Thursday, July 18, 2002

Quoting from Herman Cain's column once again, let's remember how We the People - the Army of DAVIDs - can light the darkness:

"We have more than one stone and a sling shot. We have the right and responsibility to vote, the power of the Internet and the power of the people. But we have to use that power wisely and collectively to stop the erosion of our liberties."

Seriously, I'm clinging to the hope that the videos that you'll see below will help you realize how close we could be right now to losing our liberty. I hope that thought terrifies you, as it should. And last, I hope that you will help to light the darkness in anyway that you can, even it is just by sharing this publication with your friends in the social media. I'm just sayin'...

Keep in mind, it was in 1965 that Paul Harvey came up with what you will hear in the following video, long before many of the things he told us about actually happened!

If I wanted America to fail
From FreeMarketAmerica.org ~ Author: voltacuts ~ Apr 15, 2012

Based on Paul Harvey’s seminal essay, “If I were the devil” (See above). Free Market America’s provocative video-letter to America rings with the same thoughtful intensity. “If I wanted America to fail” addresses the perilous side-effects of hitching our nation’s economic well-being to the bandwagon of environmental extremism.

An army of Davids
Exclusive: Herman Cain asks, 'Are we asleep, or just plain dumb and stupid?'
From WND Commentary ~ By Herman Cain ~ Published Apr 22, 2012

HERMAN CAIN

It’s tough being the underdog in any fight. But if a group of underdogs get together and work together, they can win. That’s the American people up against big government. We the People are fighting the political class.

The federal government has become too big, too bureaucratic and too controlling of our everyday lives, and it wants to control us even more every day, with every session of Congress. As a result, We the People are losing more and more of our liberties every day.

This administration is trying to tell us which cars to drive, which light bulbs to buy, what foods to eat, where not to take a vacation, how much health care we can have, what to believe, who to believe, how to live, how to spend our money, when to die, where to build a new plant for a business and what fairness ought to be – using our money!

Are we asleep, or just plain dumb and stupid?

Fairness is the liberty to make decisions about our lives and our money. But this administration is doing everything it can to take away our liberties with government mandates and income redistribution gimmicks like the Buffet Rule.

Time 2 Escape WIFLI Briefing for Mar 28, 2012

Welcome to this edition of Time 2 Escape WIFLI Brief!

No, I'm not gone yet.  I'm not done yet.

The government hasn't come to take me away, ...yet.

There is an advantage to being just one little citizen journalist, too tiny to see, able to fly under the radar...so far.

I open this briefing with the above words, because I am wondering how long it may be that I have the opportunity to keep paying it forward for the liberty of our children and grandchildren.

No, I had a slight physical affliction that affected my productivity in the last two weeks, and will soon have another medical procedure done on me that will prevent me from doing much here in April (2012). I don't like it much when I can not perform up to the standards that I expect from myself.

I read an incredible edition of Ralph Marston's Daily Motivator during my "down time" that did keep my inspiration high, and at least kept me hoping for a quick recovery. I knew this was a quote that should be spread far and wide in order to keep the love of liberty going:

Most of the work of achievement is done when no one is paying attention. Those who achieve, do the work even though it is difficult, demanding, tedious and far from glamorous.

More often than not, even the most impressive results come from plenty of plain old, ordinary hard work. It’s not extraordinary talent that distinguishes achievers, but rather an extraordinary level of commitment to getting the work done.

~ Ralph Marston, Ordinary hard work, Tuesday, March 20, 2012

It was pretty much an exercise of torture for me, like water-boarding, when I knew that I had so much to say, but was physically unable to just do the ordinary, let alone, the extraordinary. But at least I was able to go through the motions by determining the content I wanted to include in this issue.

Just don't freak out when my next absence occurs in the first part of April 2012. It can't be helped, but I do believe that we will somehow endure another lengthy time of inactivity here on the Time 2 Escape blog. I will, however, have some of "my people" keeping me advised of what needs to be included in the next issue that you will see here. One of those friends has already contributed to this briefing, and I owe a lot of gratitude to that individual.

I also owe some fist bumps to the Anonymous person that wrote a comment on my previous blog post. I don't get a lot of comments here, but one that was written made a lot of sense. It may explain a lot about our culture. and what you will read in this post that Paul Harvey talked about, that we have a short attention span. If that's the case, folks, we're going to lose. We need to focus, even if we can only do just a little bit every day. Just keep in mind the wise words of Ralph Marston, that "the most impressive results come from plenty of plain old, ordinary hard work. It’s not extraordinary talent that distinguishes achievers, but rather an extraordinary level of commitment to getting the work done."  

Sometimes, we have to just be happy to take one bite of the elephant at a time. It's a long process. The Commies (Progressives) took just a 100 years to accomplish their goals here in America.  I'm just sayin'...

The Vetting - Holder 1995: We Must 'Brainwash' People on Guns
From Breitbart.com ~ by Joel B. Pollak ~ Mar 18, 2012

Breitbart.com has uncovered video from 1995 of then-U.S. Attorney Eric Holder announcing a public campaign to "really brainwash people into thinking about guns in a vastly different way."

Holder was addressing the Woman's National Democratic Club. In his remarks, broadcast by CSPAN 2, he explained that he intended to use anti-smoking campaigns as his model to "change the hearts and minds of people in Washington, DC" about guns.

"What we need to do is change the way in which people think about guns, especially young people, and make it something that's not cool, that it's not acceptable, it's not hip to carry a gun anymore, in the way in which we changed our attitudes about cigarettes."

Holder added that he had asked advertising agencies in the nation's capital to assist by making anti-gun ads rather than commercials "that make me buy things that I don't really need." He had also approached local newspapers and television stations, he said, asking them to devote prime space and time, respectively, to his anti-gun campaign.

Holder's Brainwashing Against Guns Foreshadowed Operation Fast and Furious
From Breitbart.com ~ by Mary Chastain ~ Mar 19, 2012

Yesterday, Breitbart.com revealed exclusive video of then-U.S. Attorney Eric Holder speaking to the Woman’s National Democratic Club, stating that he wanted to “brainwash” people against gun ownership.

The video reveals Attorney General Holder’s early, consistent, and strident enthusiasm for gun control legislation. He wanted schools to talk about anti-gun propaganda “every day, every school, and every level."

ATTY GENERAL ERIC HOLDER

Operation Fast and Furious -- in which Holder’s Department of Justice (DOJ) smuggled guns illegally to Mexican drug cartels -- could finally have provided Holder the material for that anti-gun curriculum.

On December 7, 2011, CBS News investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson (who is the only one in the mainstream media faithfully reporting this story) shared documents proving that the motive behind Operation Fast & Furious was to implement harsher gun regulations.

Ms. Attkisson reported that Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) officials within the DOJ discussed using the illegal gun sales to justify “Demand Letter 3,” which would require some gun shops to report the sales of multiple rifles or long guns.

Each new revelation pushes Operation Fast and Furious up the chain of command and provides more evidence that it was to be used for more gun control.

The mainstream media tends to trickle out small bits of narrative as a story goes on. However, the first impression is the one that seems to prevail, just like when we meet new people. Our collective sentiment builds up to a point of no return, based on the initial elements of the story that we hear and see, over and over again.

But thanks to the new media - the citizen journalists - you will now find out more about a story which shatters the initial media spin of some kind of aggravated hate crime, where an innocent young black man was shot in cold blood because he was wearing a hoodie.

From this story: "Most media accounts of the story suggest Martin was walking down the street minding his own business when he was shot without provocation by Zimmerman." We learn, though, that it didn't really go down that way.  I'm just wondering now if the New Black Panthers will put a bounty on my head, too, for letting you know about this?

Witness counters Trayvon Martin media narrative
Says 17-year-old was beating Zimmerman before shooting
From WND ~ Published Saturday, Mar 24, 2012

Maybe George Zimmerman did act in self-defense when he shot and killed Trayvon Martin, whose death Feb. 26 in Sanford, Florida, has been the focus of a media and political circus that even included Barack Obama weighing in this week.

TRAYVON MARTIN

An eyewitness to the incident told police Martin was beating Zimmerman before he shot him.

Zimmerman had called 911 to report the suspicious activities of a youth in his neighborhood, telling the dispatcher that he was following Martin.

On the recording of another 911 call, repeated cries of “help” can be heard before the gunshot.

The witness, identified only as John, says those cries were made by Zimmerman who was on the ground being beaten by Martin.

“The guy on the bottom who had a red sweater on was yelling to me: ‘help, help … and I told him to stop and I was calling 911,” he said.

Executive-order panic: Martial law in U.S.?
White House quietly releases document that creates widespread worry
From WND ~ By Drew Zahn ~ Published Mar 18, 2012, at 5:13 PM

DREW ZAHN

The White House’s late-week release of an executive order has sent the online community into an uproar, worried that President Obama had secretly provided himself means to institute martial law in America.

In the common practice of dumping government documents on a Friday afternoon, just as the news cycle is wrapping up for the week – a move critics say allows the administration to avoid widespread coverage of embarrassing actions – the White House released an executive order on “National Defense Resources Preparedness.”

Filled with language about “government-owned equipment” and a “defense executive reserve,” among other vague statements, rumors began to spread that the executive order expanded the president’s power to do everything from seizing whole industries to drafting private armies.

A Canada Free Press article titled “Obama Executive Order: Peacetime Martial Law!” spread concerns of gasoline ration cards; while an Examiner article declared the order would “nationalize everything” and “allow for a civilian draft.” Facebook, email and Twitter were suddenly abuzz, and even the extremely popular Drudge Report posted a link to the White House release under the title “Martial Law? Obama Issues Executive Order.”

But are the cries of martial law and expanding executive power justified?

COMMENTARY

Why The March 16th, 2012 White House Executive Order Is Different
From Patriots For America ~ By Ann Barnhardt ~ Posted by Twana Blevins on Mar 19, 2012 at 10:58am

ANN BARNHARDT

I’m getting really, really sick of these pundits and talking heads on the so-called “right” clucking their tongues at the unwashed masses and telling us that we’re crazy and paranoid to be the least bit concerned each and every time the Obama regime takes another stride toward totalitarianism. And it is EACH AND EVERY TIME.

Let me break it down for Ed Morrissey, and all of the other pundits in that social circle so that you can get your heads around this. We are concerned and even, dare I say it, panicked, because we can see the big picture of the Obama regime for what it is. We can take the totality of the dataset and draw not just a logical, reasoned conclusion, but a conclusion that is supported by centuries – nay millenia – of past precedent.

We are, as Patrick Henry put it, “willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it.”

Why is the 3/16/2012 Executive Order worthy of grave concern? Simply put, because of the man and the regime who issued it... [EMPHASIS MINE]

Why Fear Communism?
From The Patriot Update ~ By Victoria Jackson ~ Written on Mar 13, 2012

VICTORIA JACKSON

They used to say, “He is not a Communist!” Now they say, “What’s so wrong with Communism?”


I got this email from my 28 year old friend “Al” yesterday:

We aren’t living in the 1950’s anymore. Why is there a fear of the communist bogeyman? Isn’t creating and perpetuating this fear just another form of propaganda?

Obviously, this boy has been brainwashed. I was so frustrated a cartoon cyclone came out of my head and ears. Then I wrote him back:

We aren’t living in the 1950′s anymore…so, suddenly communism works?! Which country is it working in?! (I wanted to say ‘you idiot!’) North Korea, Russia, Cuba? Are people flocking there to live? Risking their lives on rafts to get there?

The liberal Miami Herald today had an article about tourists visiting Cuba. They hated to admit that the place is a falling apart poverty stricken mess. They didn’t use the “c” word of course to explain why it suddenly went bad when Castro took over. All they would offer was, “…There’s no way tourism alone can prop up a system so enfeebled by the weight of government bureaucracy, market controls and limits on personal freedoms.”

“…a system enfeebled by the weight of government bureaucracy, market controls and limits on personal freedoms…” sounds like the Obama administration.

28 year old – do you want America to look like Cuba? Than stop defending communism!

The “utopia” of communism killed 94 million, according to The Black Book of Communism.

... Finally, Trevor Loudon makes it simple. Why should young people hate communism?

OUTSIDE of the BOX

This is the part where I put it all together. I hope you have been paying close attention.

Paul Harvey, in 1965, tells you about what the evil soviet empire wanted to accomplish, and how they would accomplish their objective. This will be followed by a video that tells us how Saul Alinsky helped the goals along the way. Now, all you have to realize is that the President studied Alinsky's tactics. I think you'll see how so many pieces of the puzzle now fit together.

The prophetic words of Paul Harvey from 1965
From glennbeck.com ~ Wednesday, Mar 21, 2012 at 1:47 PM CDT

Glenn played some incredible audio this morning on the radio program of radio commentator Paul Harvey from 1965. Glenn knew Harvey, and described him as “absolutely inspired of God.”

Last night on GBTV, Glenn explained to viewers that America has crossed over into new territory. “The progressives, I believe, have realized their dream. They have taken those baby steps,” Glenn said. “It is time to stop studying progressives.”

Glenn challenged those that don’t think the progressives have accomplished their goals to “listen to the prophetic words of radio commentator Paul Harvey.”

The audio is of Paul Harvey explaining how he would destroy us [America] if he were Satan…

“If I were the devil, I wouldn’t be happy until I had seized the ripest apple on the tree—Thee. So I’d set about however necessary to take over the United States. I’d subvert the churches first—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”. And the old, I would teach to pray. I would teach them to pray after me, ‘Our Father, which art in Washington…’

And then I’d get organized. I’d educate authors on how to lurid literature exciting, so that anything else would appear dull and uninteresting. I’d threaten TV with dirtier movies and vice versa. I’d pedal 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’d soon have families that war with themselves, churches that war that themselves, and nations that war with themselves; until each in its turn was consumed. And with promises of higher ratings I’d have mesmerizing media fanning the flame. If I were the devil I would encourage schools to refine young intellects, and neglect to discipline emotions—just let those run wild, until before you knew it, you’d have to have drug sniffing dogs and metal detectors at every schoolhouse door.

Within a decade I’d have prisons overflowing, I’d have judges promoting pornography—soon I could evict God from the courthouse, and then the schoolhouse, and then from the houses of Congress. And in His own churches I would substitute psychology for religion, and deify science. I would lure priests and pastors into misusing boys and girls, and church money. If I were the devil I’d make the symbols of Easter an egg and the symbol of Christmas a bottle.

If I were the devil I’d take from those, and who have, and give to those wanted until I had killed the incentive of the ambitious. What do you bet I could get whole states to promote gambling as the way to get rich? I would question against extremes and hard work, and Patriotism, and moral conduct. I would convince the young that marriage is old-fashioned, that swinging more fun, that what you see on the TV is the way to be. And thus I could undress you in public, and I could lure you into bed with diseases for which there is no cure. In other words, if I were to devil I’d keep on doing on what he’s doing. Paul Harvey, good day.”

“That is unbelievable,” Glenn said after listening to the audio.

My Tribute to Rush Limbaugh By John Kubicek Even as a little kid, I was very much into talk radio. I was lucky to have guys like Paul Harvey and Earl Nightingale on the AM radio for an occassional break from the Rock and Roll music filling most of the air time back then. It wasn't until I reached the old age of 35 that real talk radio started to be something to help the AM radio stations to make a gigantic comeback. Unfortunately, it was even a few years later when I discovered somebody so cavalier that would dare to talk about politics, and the religion of politics. Yes, I'm talking about El Rushbo. Rush Limbaugh was a pioneer that changed the whole nature of talk-radio, and it wasn't until my late 30's before I was to make my discovery. I found that there were other people that felt just like me! And one of them was an up and coming radio talk-show host! I repeat, he felt JUST LIKE ME!!! And so did so many of the people that called into the show. I no longer felt alone in the realm of politics. It answered my questions about how Ronald Reagan had won two elections so convincingly when it seemed I was the only Conservative on the face of the Earth. Okay, confession, that isn't entirely true. I knew there were a few other Conservatives out there, people that believed that there was a Power in the universe much better than what the government could do. That Power was in realizing the personal fortitude, perseverence, resilience and Faith that allowed anyone to succeed in life, as long as they knew the Lord, where that strength was coming from. I listened to many cassette tapes in the decade before I knew who Rush Limbaugh was. Those cassettes espoused the greatness of Free Enterprise. Even with Ronald Reagan as President during that time, I had the fear that the central federal government stifled Free Enterprise with massive regulation and tax laws. And along comes Rush, already on the same page. And now, two decades later, there's not enough time in the day to listen to all the wonderful radio talk show hosts. We now have the ability to pick and choose who we listen to. Of course, that may just apply to people more on the Conservative side of the political spectrum. It seems as though the Liberal-slanted talk shows haven't done so well. The next President of the United States may be somebody that doesn't like the current slant of the playing field and could try to do his best to gain support for the resurrection of the Fairness Doctrine in order to level the playing field. But wait, the left already has the slant of the playing field in their favor in the main stream media, Hollywood entertainment, education and now even in some Christian denominations. The only thing left to stop their dominance is talk radio, the New Media, and the blogs. Let's say it this way: If Rush is ever stopped, we're all in trouble!
