ヘンリー・フォードの反ユダヤ陰謀論とサピロの名誉毀損訴訟

This is Henry Ford, founder of Ford Motor Company, and he believed that Jews controlled international banking, the media, Hollywood, and he even believed that international Jewish bankers were responsible for the United States' entry into World War I, where over one hundred and sixteen

thousand Americans died. Overall, the war claimed twenty-two million lives worldwide. But how did he come to this conclusion? Henry Ford's theory claimed that World War I was artificially engineered by a hidden network of international Jewish bankers to generate massive wealth and

global control. In his newspaper, The Dearborn Independent, he explicitly named New York financier Jacob Schiff, but also Warburg and the Rothschild banking families.

Ford argued that these individuals used the newly created US Federal Reserve to manipulate the money supply, allowing them to finance both the Allied and Central Powers simultaneously. According to his theory, the bankers accumulated billions of dollars in compound interest from wartime government debts, then used the chaos to

bankroll the 1917 Russian Revolution, and later crashed the European currencies to buy up valuable national assets for pennies on the dollar. And all of this at the cost of twenty-two million lives.

To many, Henry Ford was a working-class hero, brave enough to expose the hidden elites. When The Dearborn Independent named powerful financiers like Jacob Schiff and the Rothschilds, many saw that as a brave working-class man fighting back against the global elites.

They also saw World War I as a rich man's war, engineered by international bankers who used the Federal Reserve to fund both sides and profit from the national debt.

But Ford was about to face a legal challenge that would put an end to his newspaper and the sharing of ideas that many embraced.

And that legal challenge would come from Aaron Sapiro, a prominent Jewish attorney and agricultural organizer who would sue him for libel. As a result, Ford was forced to shut down his publication to avoid testifying.

The lawsuit cost Henry Ford millions in today's money, but it damaged his reputation as well. They even claimed that Ford staged a car accident to avoid testifying and force him to sign a humiliating public apology, a signature that he maintained for the rest of his life had been forged and that he had

never signed the document. Ford had planned to run for president because before this, he was extremely popular.

But in a coordinated effort in mainstream American newspapers and magazines, they heavily criticized him.

This, of course, damaged his reputation and forced him to abandon his dream of running for US president.

In the years leading up to his death, Ford opposed America's entry into World War II and privately insisted that the conflict was not caused by Adolf Hitler, but was instead engineered by international bankers, a term the Jewish community insisted was a well-known code used to blame the Jewish

people for global war once again. Henry Ford's closest friends say that he maintained his beliefs until the very end.
