I\u2019m not saying that as an insult; it\u2019s just a fact.\u201d Voight, who\u2019s no stranger to speaking out about faith and politics, noted that he couldn\u2019t be blamed for what\u2019s happening and proceeded to detail what he sees as \u201cdisturbing\u201d happenings.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cIn the time of my life, I\u2019ve seen an enormous change in this country. And it\u2019s all been quite disturbing.\u201d Voight went on to claim the \u201cagenda of the KGB,\u201d the former USSR security agency, was to \u201cdivide the United States, divide the citizens of the United States, through the press, through the schools, take God out of the schools, and divide the country by race and age and gender.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MPHbduWTLqY?si=ks7ZfKEAgImPGfqm\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>He said this was accomplished in a \u201crather short period of time\u201d before delving into his beliefs about Marxism. Voight rhetorically asked, \u201cWhat is Marxism based on? What is their engine that gives them guidance? It\u2019s certainly not God, so we have a lot of atheism that\u2019s coming forth.\u201d In addition to atheism, the actor warned about the presence of evil.<\/p>\n<p>Voight said, \u201cNow we have an amazing, you know, appearance of Satan in our community now. It\u2019s a difficult time.\u201d Despite those tribulations, the actor said he has \u201cgreat hope\u201d as people discover \u201cpernicious\u201d activity unfolding.
