Well, just look at the Dodge symbol over the years and you’ll know. > This prompted Ford to write his famous book about a certain group and their control of American media, business, and finance (by way of the Federal Reserve). > Not enough people listened. > Fun fact: following the 2008/9 financial collapse—long after Ford’s passing—both Ford and Dodge (Who had been recently purchased by Chrysler) were forced to take government bailouts. Ford paid their entire debt in full, and on time. Dodge would force the US Treasury (taxpayer) to write off $1.3B-$2.9B in losses. > Apparently some things never change. > Long live Henry Ford. > **Disclaimer: Any and all similarities between Ford and an obscure, Austrian painter from the same time period, or his policies on economics, patriotism, labor quality, employee wages/rights/standards, monetary policy, etc…. Or even a famous book he may have published at the same time about a certain group… are strictly coincidental.
