The year was 1968.
Many people believe that a paradigm shift happened that year. Incredible changes happened that would completely affect the way people of the world lived their lives from that day to this. With but one exception, none of the changes were good ones.
The Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated that year as was Robert F. Kennedy and an American ambassador in Central America - the first time a US emissary had died under such circumstances.
The government of France completely collapsed and its administration fled to Germany to negotiate new rules of conduct.
The government of Great Britain nearly collapsed as well.
Many third world governments did collapse and never recovered from the shock.
The Soviet Union found itself having to deal with insurrection among its client states.
The TET offensive began in January, ultimately resulting in the defeat of the United States by North Viet Nam.
The year before - Jerusalem had been captured by the IDF, the first time in thousands of years that the city fell under sovereign Jewish law and administration. The Bible predicted that Jerusalem would be downtrodden until 'the times of the gentiles were fulfilled'.
In 1968 the Broadway musical HAIR and the motion picture ROSEMARIE'S BABY began their run. Both were received with immense popularity. Rosemarie's Baby was the first satanic movie to be applauded and accepted by the general public - a major paradigm shift in American and world culture.
The musical Hair as well as the so-called Age of Aquarius received acclaim as a philosophical alternative to the Christian ethos. Although New Age philosophy had started earlier, it was universally accepted after that time.
In 1968, a mega Christian revival swept the nation - the only good thing to come out of the events of the year and
the last national revival to this day.
If the reader does his or her own study of the events of 1968, one would be well advised to have a change of clean underwear available. 1968 was a horrendous year and historians are still trying to understand what happened.
.....and another paradigm shift is due in 2017 or 2018. But that's a subject for another discussion.
In summation, the trend for popular acceptance of the occult in mainstream culture in movies, theater and literature can be traced back to 1968. Although existing long before that year, 1968 was a watershed time because these subjects achieved legitimacy then.
and that's just me, hollering from the choir loft...
PS
Was the anti-Christ really born that year? Some say yes.
