Henry Ford (1863 – 1947) was an American business magnate and industrialist, the founder of the Ford Motor Company. He was also a pioneer of modern assembly lines used in mass production,[1] a Templar leader,[2] and a co-founder of the Templars' front company, Abstergo Industries.[3]
Biography[edit | edit source]
In 1891, Ford was employed as an engineer at the Edison Illuminating Company, and in 1896 he met Thomas Edison at a meeting of the company's executives. Edison was the man who authorized Ford's use of an Apple of Eden.[4]
In 1902, Ford and former bicycle racer Barney Oldfield developed a second model of the Ford 999, suited for racing. The Ford 999's wins in races secured Ford's future success. In 1909, Ford's second model of the Ford Model T was exhibited at the Alaska–Yukon–Pacific Exposition.[4] The following year, Ford and the other Templar leaders designed "the Plan".[1]
On 1 December 1913, Ford installed the first assembly line system on the advice of William Klann at the Highland Park plant. The innovation sped up production time, reduced from 12 hours to only just 1 hour and 33 minutes. On 5 January 1918, Ford announced his company would pay its workers $5 per day, however, the supposed pay rise was actually a pay cut; Ford used the Apple to convince his workers otherwise.[4]
On 22 May 1922, Ford began a seven-year hate campaign against Jewish Americans in a series of anti-Semitic pamphlets titled The International Jew, published by the Ford-owned Dearborn Publishing Company and distributed through The Dearborn Independent newspaper.[4]
On 11 February 1929, Ford and fellow Templar Harvey Firestone attended Edison's 82nd birthday celebration in Florida. Following this, Ford was instructed by his Templar associates to send the Apple in his possession to Adolf Hitler in Europe, who would use it to start World War II. Ford, himself a noted anti-Semite, gladly did so, as he believed "that kind of purge [would] be good for Europe".[4]
In 1937, Ford and his fellow Templar leaders founded Abstergo Industries, which from that point on would act as a public front for the Order.[3]
Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
In Ubisoft's 2014 video game Watch Dogs, Henry Ford and his Templar affiliations are talked about during a phone conversation. [citation needed]
