Ford, brain genius, thought he could solve WWI with his Peace Ship
he was tricked into it (lol), by Rosika Schwimmer, a very interesting person, and also a Jew, which Ford didn't fail to notice
Ford's Dearborn Independent, his anti-semitism publication
the Dearborn Independent written by professional anti-semites, several of which were White Russians who brought over the Protocols of the Elders of Zion
Hermann Rauschning, of Hitler Speaks, re Hitler's thoughts about the Protocols being a forgery
comments compared and contrasted with Hitler's Table Talk - they probably hold up
the MindWar connection
Isaac Landman of the American Hebrew, who challenged Ford to prove the global Jewish plot
Henry Ford and the Dearborn Independent's the Internationl Jew, not copyrighted so it could spread more widely
Aaron Sapiro, who sued Henry Ford for accusing him of attempting to take over all agriculture; they settled out of court after Ford agreed to apologize
Boris Brasol, one of the White Russians who wrote for the Dearborn Independent
Menahem Mendel Beilis and Andrei Yushchinsky of the Beilis blood libel case, which Brasol was prosecuting
the Black Hundreds, and a book Brasol wrote saying the Jews ruled the USSR. Brasol was the first to translate the Protocols into English
Brasol was friends with William Dudley Pelley of the Silvershirts and Father Coughlin, the America First movement, and Rhodesia lmao
Brasol got recruited by General Marlborough Churchill of the Military Intelligence Bureau specifically to infiltrate anarchist circles in the US, hahahaha
General Churchill also ran the Black Chamber which eventually became the NSA
Grand Duke Cyril Vladimirovich, first cousin to the last reigning Czar, Nicholas II, and one of the rightful pretenders to the Russian throne, who, via Brasol, helped Ford funnel funds to the Nazis
Siegfried and Winifred Wagner
Winifred meeting Hitler - look how happy she is
Kurt Lüdecke again, who went with the Wagners to visit Henry Ford
Henry Ford receiving the Grand Cross of the Supreme Order of the German Eagle "in recognition of Ford's pioneering in making motor cars available for the masses"
Ford given the highest decoration that could be given to a non-German citizen - for example, Benito Mussolini also received it, lol
check it out, it's a good episode!

parenthetically I've got 934 pages of various WerBell Word docs - the text of the 17 episodes is 225 pages and then everything else is stuff not in the episodes that would have formed the bulk of the book (lol)
how about one last thread for the road? maybe the second to last?
I’m a fan of Cuba and the Cuban people. Politically, I support ending the embargo and the repeal of the Helms-Burton act. I think Fidel Castro and Che Guevara were some of the most interesting figures of the 20th century. There is much to admire in the Cuban project.
I’m always a fan of subterranean histories, especially when they intersect with insurrectionary and/or revolutionary history. What’s the parapolitics take on Cuba? What still remains to be studied with the Cuban Revolution?
a thread: a couple days ago, Daniela Klette, age 65, of the Red Army Faction’s third generation was arrested.
a lot of people are saying Bellingcat and/or podcasters found her. it's not entirely clear which, but it looks like some German podcasters for like a Most Wanted type podcast found her using AI tools, and then either they or a Bellingcat guy sent it to the cops
via the NYT article, the Bellingcat guy said “Somebody like me, who does not speak German, who does not know much beyond the basic background of Daniela Klette — Why was I able to find such a lead in like literally 30 minutes?”
for various reasons I’m obsessed with the baleada. it’s become one of my all-time favorite dishes.
the baleada is in some ways THE national dish of Honduras. what’s known for sure is that the baleada was invented in La Ceiba on the beautiful northern coast of Honduras. some claim that it was originally a Mayan dish (which I'll discuss later)
