There is good and evil in everyone. Mr. Ford (and Colt before him) did a lot to create the modern assembly line, a very useful
manufacturing paradigm and a somewhat efficient division of labor. He also fought against the Federal Reserve's attempt to capture
the Ford Motor Co. Oth, he, like W. R. Hearst, was an ardent supporter of the Nazi movement in the 1930's, and published an
anti-Jewish tract based on the *Protocols*. Ford (along with GM, ITT, DuPont, Standard Oil, etc.) was heavily involved in building
up Germany's war machine (overseen by the Roosevelt Administration). Adolph Hitler gave him Germany's highest civilian award and
kept a picture of Mr. Ford on his desk.
