Jews Don't Run the Banks Anymore
2008-10-17 06:31:00 The latest death toll figures from Hurricane Katrina can be seen on this website here. The famous Russian neo-Nazi video is on this blog here.Updated October 17:For Chrissake people, even David Duke says the Jews don't run the banks anymore. What more of an authority do you need?Unfortunately, anti-Semitismphobia (irrational fear of anti-Semitism) has kept scholars from researching this question. I've done some research on my own. Jews largely ran the banking system of Europe from the late 1800's into the 1900's. Their dominance of this profession seems to have come to an end in the 1930's and 1940's. I guess that means that they got taken out by the Holocaust.According to Henry Ford's The International Jew, Jews made a run for US investment banking and consumer banking in the early part of the 1900's in the US. Ford describes how Jews during this time made a play for investment banking in the US. They worked together to try to buy up as many investment banks as they could f...

Directfordparts.com-Henry Ford The Engineer
2008-02-04 21:21:00 The Engineer In 1891, Ford became an engineer with the Edison Illuminating Company in Detroit. This event signified a conscious decision on Ford's part to dedicate his life to industrial pursuits. His promotion to Chief Engineer in 1893 gave him enough time and money to devote attention to his personal experiments on internal combustion engines.These experiments culminated in 1896 with the completion of his own self-propelled vehicle-the Quadricycle. The Quadricycle had four wire wheels that looked like heavy bicycle wheels, was steered with a tiller like a boat, and had only two forward speeds with no reverse. Although Ford was not the first to build a self-propelled vehicle with a gasoline engine, he was, however, one of several automotive pioneers who helped this country become a nation of motorists.www.directfordparts.c-om

Henry Ford VS Von Neumann
2007-04-30 22:12:00 Henry Ford had ordered a dynamo for one of his plants. The dynamo didn't work, and not even the manufacturers could figure out why. A Ford employee told his boss that Von Neumann was "the smartest man in America," so Ford called Von Neumann and asked him to come out and take a look at the dynamo.Von Neumann came, looked at the schematics, walked around the dynamo,then took out a pencil.He marked a line on the outside casing and said, "If you'll go in an cut the coil here, the dynamo will work fine."They cut the coil, and the dynamo did work fine.Ford then told Von Neumann to send him a bill for the work. Von Neumann sent Ford a bill for $5,000.Ford was astounded -- $5,000 was a lot in the 1950s -- and asked Von Neumann for an itemized account.Here's what he submitted: Drawing a line with the pencil: $ 1 Knowing where to draw the line with the pencil: $4,999 Ford paid the bill.
