That's a nice, inspiring quote from the founder of Ford Motor Company. He had many other quotes about the banking and monetary system ... or, more precisely, the people who run it.
There is apparently in the world today a central financial force which is playing a vast and closely organized game, with the world for its table and universal control for its stakes. The people of civilized countries have lost all confidence in the explanation that "economic conditions" are responsible for all the changes that occur. Under the camouflage of "economic law" a great many phenomena have been accounted for which were not due to any law whatever except the law of the selfish human will as operated by a few men who have the purpose and the power to work on a wide scale with nations as their vassals.Ford even wrote a book about this "central financial force" and gave away copies in the hopes of warning the American populace about the danger. You can find it online today with a simple Google search for The International Jew. It's nearly as popular as another book which Ford recommended, and which he quotes frequently in his tome: The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion.
Whatever else may be national, no one today believes that finance is national. Finance is international. Nobody today believes that international finance is in any way competitive. There are some independent banking houses, but few strong independent ones. The great masters, the few whose minds see clearly the entire play of the plan, control numerous banking houses and trust companies, and one is used for this while another is used for that, but there is no disharmony between them, no correction of each other's methods, no competition in the interests of the business world. There is as much unity of policy between the principal banking houses of every country as there is between the various branches of the United States Post Office — and for the same reason, namely, they are all operated from the same source and for the same purpose.
Upon being informed of Ford's anti-Semitic streak, several people chimed in with their opinions. Some felt this was much ado about nothing.
Greg Foster Enough already with 1st and 2nd millennium tribal mentalities/identites. They're just about over and done with. Get with the 3rd millennium already.

And if some wanted to minimize Ford's Jew-hating, others reveled in it:

THe banking system IS jewish - its a fact and not just some wild claim. Henry Ford wasnt afraid to call a spade a spade. As for being anti - semitic .... Most jews have very little semitic heritage so to be against the evils of jewish elitism aka zionism doesnt make one semitic - jews arent semitic! However these white jewish racists are themselves anti semitic in their dealings with palestrinians and other arabs who ARE semites! Its time these elitists zionists stooges were exposed for their true colors and the fact that theyre imposters and are nothing more than anti semiticgentile swine themselves

If you want to criticize Israeli excesses against the Palestinians, there are plenty of people who agree with you, including many Israelis. But spewing the old venom with "anti-Zionist" used as a polite euphemism for "anti-Semite" (which itself started out as a polite euphemism for "Jew-hater") serves nobody. Nobody, that is, save the Jew-haters who would like to capitalize on our current mistrust of international banks for their own ends - and those who would like to discredit the movement by linking it to Nazism and anti-Semitism.
Henry Ford is not a useful source of information on international banking. Quoting him on the subject suggests that you are grossly uninformed at best and a bigot at worst. The Protocols of the Elders of Zion is not a thought-provoking exposé. It is a crude forgery which has cost many innocent people their lives. Sooner or later somebody is going to have to stand up and say "this, ladies and gentlemen, is a steaming pile of horseshit and no amount of consensus, cooperation and open-mindedness is going to change that fact." And so, in that spirit, let me be the one to break out the shovel.

I agree. But we don't need distractions and tribal bickering in these times. Press forward for others to remain focused. Use spiritual energy to raise the vibration. This is something that everyone can do, irrespective of what they think of Henry Ford or whomever-the-fuck.
Nutty Professor: I am not at all sure we should be ignoring this particular "distraction." When people are quoting notorious anti-Semites approvingly, there is a problem. Ignoring that problem in the name of avoiding bickering only ensures that we will see more equally offensive quotes. And this is especially important for OWS, given that there are powerful forces which would like to tie them to any perfidy they can find.
There are lots of people who have said meaningful and pithy things about banking and the corporate plutocracy. Why not go to them for quotes instead of a guy whose ideas on the subject are irredeemably tainted by and associated with his virulent anti-Semitism?
Bravissimo.
I don't know what exactly has breathed new life into this pseudo-Illuminati anti-Zionist Satanic Conspiracy stuff, but for some reason it seems like it's hit fever pitch. People are spouting this stuff everywhere you look, and I find it pretty disturbing.
V.V.F.: right now people are feeling very unsympathetic toward international bankers. Add to that the Internet-era belief that anything which has been censored or banned must contain valuable information and you've got the makings of a whole new generation discovering the Protocols.
Add to that the fact that American Zionist organizations (real Zionists like AIPAC, not the shadowy figures who parade through Nazi fap-fantasies) have done an excellent job of tarring all criticism of Israel as anti-Semitism. One can only cry "wolf!" so often before the term loses any kind of meaning... especially since Palestinian causes are finding an increasingly sympathetic audience among today's liberal youth.
I generally agree with you. However, I think Julius Evola, who couldn't really be defined as an anti-Semite (he had issues with Judaism but nothing he didn't express similar issues about with virtually every other group and institution), made a point when he said that although the Protocols are a certain fraud (their certainty had not been established when he wrote this, but he strongly allowed the likelihood), it isn't entire off base about what certain elements of Judaism wish to have happen, i.e. the world bowing before Israel. They literally speak a prayer every year at Jubilee, sung by top Israeli leaders, for all nations and races to grobble on their knees at the feet of Israel and the Almighty Chosen People. The very fact that they call themselves Chosen People, and often literally believe this is so, should be reasonable ground to be concerned about the agenda of many of their leaders.
That said, there is tremendous concentration of financial power in a very few hands, and thanks to the internet it is now quantifiable which individuals and groups control the greatest number of financial transactions (the best measure of controlling wealth). This is by no means limited to Jews, and if Jews seem to be especially prominent, one can trace it back to cultural factors, i.e. on the one hands Judaism tends to promote a culture of hard work but also smart work (i.e. not just working hard but working in ways to get ahead in life, such as education, careful spending, and wise investment), and on the other hand their promotion to banking kings came at the hands of Catholicism, whose adherants at one time widely thought it sinful to keep profit on their person or in their home. On the other hand it was considered ok to leave their profit with a banker, and after the Vatican destroyed the original branch bankers, the Knights Templars, they had no one left to turn to but their Jewish neighbors, who were guilty of nothing but being clever enough to make profit out of holding onto money for their neighbors.
On the other hand... and just to play Devil's Advocate... people approvingly quote Abraham Lincoln on Civil Rights, but if he were alive to day, and could see the African community, all evidence suggests his response would be, "You mean they didn't all go back to Africa like I told them they should?" That is the reason the nation of Liberia exists... Lincoln thought that when they the slaves were freed they would leave. He didn't actually believe they were racially equal, as his own quotes prove, only that they didn't deserve to be treated unequally by our government. Better than Ford, perhaps... but then again, and again to play Devil's Advocate, Ford held more positive views of black people than Lincoln did, and was one of the first employers to guarantee equal pay and benefits to blacks.
Yep, there are still a lot of Jew-haters, only now they do indeed call themselves anti-Zionists and quibble about the word "anti-semitic," as if somehow if that word is not used, they are not Jew-haters and racists. IMO, their use of the word "anti-Zionist" shits on the concept itself. You don't like banks? Neither do I, and I am still waiting for my check from International Conspiracy. I've gotten so fed up with it--and with people who are so very upset with "tribalism" but who would love nothing more than to create a tribe themselves. Julius Evola not a Jew-hater? Make me laugh out loud. He wrote an introduction to the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Maybe people should actually learn some history. But that's precisely what gets under their skin--they look at history and feel communal guilt for all the wrongs done in their name and so they run away from it and pretend it doesn't matter. Some "traditionalist" even had the nerve to remark to me that WWII was so long ago. Like why don't we just forget it; it was so unpleasant. That's where "universalism" will get you--repeating the past because you are too damned cowardly to face it.
One of the reasons I quit reading forums is because of all the Jew-hatred masquerading as "we are like so beyond tribalism." Bah fucking humbug.
