    This is so accurate about the way things are now. It sends chills down my spine just thinking about it.

    I miss Paul Harvey. I heard this back in 1965 when my husband was stationed at Travis AFB. Being so close to San Francisco and the Hippy Hub at Haight Ashbury Street I believed it then and have witnessed it become fact.

    Agreed, it is prophetic. It was pretty eye opening to me when i heard it play, that Sunday being the first time id ever heard it. What are the odds that we would go to the same church and read the same comment in the same day...crazy!

    As a nation, we are responsible. I never voted for him, either, and even talked with a couple supporters. But at the end of the day, you and I are part of this country, and this country voted him in. Whatever he does, it won't just effect the people who voted for him. We can't decide it's not our fault, and walk away with our noses in the air, because that's not solving the problem or taking part in the situation in any respect. It's pride, and nothing else.

    This was not on the radio in 1965 which was done in print. This is the 1993/1994 radio recording of the essay.
    Google it, as you will find that there are slight differences, but in truth just the same.

    Paul Havey was a Midwestern conservative, but sometimes he took maverick positions against the war, he was against abortion, but I agreed with Paul that it was up to the woman who considered having one to decide on that issue. Even if you disagreed with him, you could respect him. Rush Limbaugh can say that..

  • @rkjk302
    @rkjk302 10 ปีที่แล้ว +25

    I'm about to blow all your minds I read down the comments not all of them but from what I seen no one mentioned what I was thinking after hearing this. HE WAS NOT PREDICTING THE FUTURE THAT IS HOW HE SAW THE WORLD IN 1965 THOSE WERE THINGS HAPPENING IN 1965 OR ELSE HE WOULD NOT HAVE SAID "IN OTHER WORDS ID KEEP DOING WHAT I'M DOING" can't believe no one else picked up on that.

    • @Calib29
      @Calib29 10 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      It was going on, but he knew it would amplify & oh, how it's amplified. It is now more true than it was even then. The things he said would happen continued to happen. Mind not blown.

    • @rkjk302
      @rkjk302 10 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      ***** we are 50 years past those times now. You act like it's amplified so much that makes you sound silly. Why cuz Miley Cyrus and rap music? They looked at elvis and the Beatles the same way back then. Not to mention they just ended segregation the in 1964. Yup buddy they were way better than today's society

    • @rkjk302
      @rkjk302 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      ***** also stupid to think that if we change all the things wrong that everything will be awesome and there won't be bad people. Let's all pray since that works

    • @rkjk302
      @rkjk302 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      ***** how wasn't it he is explaining what was going on in america at that time that's why he "continue" (key word there) doing what he's doing. And yes they certainly were going on then we were at war in Vietnam there was a lot of shit going on then. Don't comment if you a complete moron

    • @Calib29
      @Calib29 10 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      rkjk302 Your argument is hard to follow. Especially that last comment, but the point is it has obviously amplified. Immorality is displayed much more conspicuously in modern times & is far more accepted. It's a fact. do some research.
      Also he made this statement about STD's long before AIDS was even around.
      Also you make it sound like you shouldn't try to change things that are wrong or even try to improve society simply because society is imperfect. Also I never said anything even remotely along the lines of "we should just fix bad things & live in a perfect world", that was quite random actually.

The guy that called you an animal is wrong. He shouldnt preach to you or any unbeliever like that. He should have showed you love. But anyways, its a pdf and its free, so please take some time to look it up! (:

    Think enough about the concepts of Hell and the Devil, and you may just see they don't make any sense if there is nothing in existence that is not "God". They are merely tools of fear to keep you in mental bondage. It can be a hard prison to break out of, I know.

    Let me apologize on behalf of all true Christians, for what Michael Beard said to you. He is dead wrong to speak to you that way and I told him so. God is about pure love, He does not insult. The best way Christians can try to reach someone is to live in a Christian manner. But when the spoken/written word is all we have to express our beliefs, it should always be respectful, no matter what. Please open your heart and explore. It cant hurt!

    Harvey did not pen this in 1965. This is a revised version that he wrote in the late 1990s and someone else recorded it, while doing their impression of him. Google it. Snopes already covered it. The only reason it seems "prophetic" is because you're misleading people about the date by three decades.

      All ideology aside, it just bothers me that people think his references to AIDS and lawsuits about religion in courts/schools etc etc were some kind of mystical prediction. Those were all part of popular public discourse by the time he spoke of them. The one he wrote in the 60s talked about coal mines and slave labor camps.

    • @GameFanaTICKPlayz
      @GameFanaTICKPlayz 11 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Even if it were revised in the late 90's A lot of the stuff said is happening within the last 4 years. Well after the late 90's.

    • @onlywhenprovoked
      @onlywhenprovoked 11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Like what? I will gladly find video proof of everything mentioned here, happening and being discussed on the news before this revision was written. AIDS? Lawsuits against religion in schools? Gas prices? All of that shit was happening by the 80s. This guy was just bitching about current events in the 90s. There isn't a single future prediction, here. The one he did actually write in the 60s mentions coal mines and vietnam, not aids or gas prices.

    • @onlywhenprovoked
      @onlywhenprovoked 11 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I enjoy a soothingly hypnotic narrator as much as anything else, but I'm not going to convince myself that it's some sort of prophecy... because Everything he mentions here was happening before he wrote it in the 1990s. Everything. Name me ONE thing that only just happened in the past "4 years", and was not an issue 20 years ago. Just ONE.

    You are a very bad representation of a Christian. Jesus would never, in a million years, approve of the words you spoke to this unbeliever. Every human has a right to be on this planet. As Christians we do what we can to bring others to God, but as free will was given to man, each individual is responsible for their own actions. To insult someone, for any reason, and say it as representation of a child of God, is wrong.

    Pray, tell me this... drug detection dogs (sniffer dogs) were not introduced into the United States until 1970. Are you telling me this guy invented the "sniffer dog" (and the term sniffer dog didn't come around immediately either) before the police and military had even thought about it? Or... maybe the truth is... this isn't the 1965 speech. This is from 1996 when he edited it to reflect current climates (and then edited to sound like an old recording) to make himself look like some kind of "genius". Now isn't that devious? Almost as devious as something old Lucifer would pull himself!! The truth shall set you free!

    •  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Amira Horan watch the video - mohamed created allah and allah is evil. islam is war, pedophilia, perverted sex (adultry is ok - just call it polygamy, prostitution is ok - just call it a temporary marriage, and pedophilia is ok - just follow the perverted pedophile prophet). And there are many other things that the video points out that the devil would do... and islam is ok with... in fact some of the disgusting things are called 'good deeds'. Dying while murdering others for allah is islam's most holiest thing and they think they get on the fast path to allah's orgy in the sky to abuse women and little boys for eternity. Lying is a good deed to advance islam. etc. etc.

    • @Miratheboss29
      @Miratheboss29 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Lee Sargeant that's not what Islam is. And also most Muslims don't kill each other Mohammed was given a book by god with they call Allah which means one god and they worship him but they're book hasn't been fucked up like the bible. And if Mohammed created god that's like saying Jesus created god cause he was given a book or the Jews created good cause they were given a book. And preachers and popes rape little boys mostly not the people who preach for Islam so instead of spreading lies about Islam learn a little more about it its actually a cool and good religion

    • @TheCountess666
      @TheCountess666 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Amira Horan "him but they're book hasn't been fucked up like the bible."
      you obviously have no idea about the history of your own holy book do you?
      don't feel to bad, most Christians don't know the first thing about the history of the bible either. but neither of them is a reliable source of information.
      read up on it. read the ACTUAL history, not the Islamic internal version (because Mohammed didn't write it down, as he couldn't write... which is kind of a stupid thing for god's chosen messenger to not be able to do.)
      "And preachers and popes rape little boys mostly not the people who preach for Islam"
      no they marry little girls instead, along with the population. that of course is much better. and if you think buy raping doesn't go on Islamic circles you are a fool. it is EVERYWHERE that sexuality is repressed.
      (btw i disagree with lee sergeant here, his claim is just as easily applies to Christianity. but he, like you, thinks that his religion is special, and that he was lucky enough to be born into the right one and that everyone else is wrong.)

    • @TheCountess666
      @TheCountess666 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      all your arguments apply just as easily to Christianity or the Jewish religion for that matter.
      if you believe the Jewish religion then Jesus is evil for he told people that the old rules no longer apply and is thereby deceiving people. you could argue that Jesus is the devil.
      and the god of the Jewish religion is so strict and harsh that he must be evil if you look at it from the outside.
