Not just Ford, but also Bush, Rockefeller, General Motors, IBM, Brown Brothers Harriman.

The US had an agent in Japanese leadership who got Japan to attack Pearl Harbor as many Americans didn't want to join the war at the time. There are numerous parallels of Pearl Harbor to 9/11. Rockefeller Foundation is also linked to creating the Spanish Flu pandemic in 1918 and has links to COVID-19.

The Rockefeller Foundation funded Nazi racial studies after it was clear that this research was being used to rationalize the demonizing of Jews and other groups.

Brown Brothers Harriman and helped establish the Union Banking Corporation (UBC), both of which were enmeshed with the financial interests of German industrialist Fritz Thyssen, who helped fund the rise of the Nazi Party.

Despite his industrial genius, though, Ford had a less attractive streak as well. He opposed U.S. entry in World War I, and later adopted the view that the war had been caused by an international plot by Jewish bankers... Anti-Semitic slurs became common in Ford’s conversations, and in the early 1920s he owned a newspaper called the Dearborn Independent that he changed into a viciously anti-Semitic mouthpiece. He began personally distributing huge numbers of the infamous anti-Semitic tract The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion.

What's "less attractive" about any of that?

By the mid 1930s Ford was blaming “financiers and money lenders” for both the New Deal and the prospect of another world war.

Was he wrong?
