  • Story
    As previously mentioned In 1929 with the stock market crash, Ford would narrowly avoided bankruptcy by letting go workers and closing plants. However, He sent works home with a "message" That the Jews in Wall Street were the cause. He published a book later that year in September outlining an Ideology, The Doctrine of Fordism. This book stated that there were two types of jews puppeting the earth, The Bolsheviks and the Bankers as he called them. The Bolsheviks were all Communists and the Bankers were Wall Street. He said he had "Seen the Truth" and had broken free. He had awakened. Ford also wrote of a return to puritan values and the Creation of The Council of Corporations. An Economic Council which would manage the Economy made up of Captains of Industry... The Department of Commerce would handle the administration. Ford also called for the Return of Monopolies by beginning what historians now call, Gilded Age Revisionism. Ford stated that the Gilded age was one of prosperity for the common man and he sought to restore this prosperity if he ever took office. Ford at the End of the book would declare his candidacy for the Michigander Governorship in 1930.

  • Story Ford Declared his candidacy for The Governor of Michigan in 1930. He campaigned on a pro-business attitude and criticism of the more interventionist Hoover Administration. He narrowly won the nomination. He later remarked: It was the hardest fought campaign in my life. He viciously attacked the Republicans, saying the reps had ruined and failed Michigan. The violent approach worked. He was elected to the Mansion with 54% of votes.

  • Story Ford's Tenure as Governor would practice economic growth for Michigan, as tax cuts on a massive scale led to a short spike in business, many jobs would be rapidly Recovered in the region. especially with small business. many social programs, however, would be slashed. He would then take his next target. Jews and Catholics...luckily for ford, he had a staff willing to do his dirty work. With recent documents released by the Gore Administration and the Governors office in the late 90s. Ford worked to connect Catholic organizations to the mafia via bribing witnesses and fabricating documents. Many churches, Catholic charities and more were closed for investigation but never reopened
