Those words were spoken in a time before social media, smartphones, or viral trends. Yet Harvey’s message about fading faith, broken families, and shifting values feels hauntingly current.
What once sounded like radio theater now feels like reflection — a mirror held up to the world we live in today.
Some interpret it politically. Others see it spiritually. But nearly everyone who hears it today feels the same quiet chill: he saw it coming.
Harvey’s genius wasn’t just in prediction — it was in clarity. He understood that the downfall of a nation doesn’t always begin with violence, but with apathy. “Self-government won’t work without self-discipline,” he once said. And perhaps that’s the part we’ve forgotten.
Nearly 60 years later, his words still echo — not as fear, but as a reminder: the smallest compromises often create the biggest changes.
