Hello Bj”rn,

 WH>> The Henry Ford quote doesn't come with

 BF> I obviously am better educated than you'd expect from stupid Swede? Please
 BF> notice the *not* before his name. In other words, do you really think that
 BF> I thought he said it...?

The quote has often been attributed to him. Mostly by right-wing
conspiracy theory nuts. But when one looks at what Henry Ford really
wrote, he never wrote or said what so many have been told.

The actual quote you had posted was first found in "The American
Mercury" in 1957 in an article "How Internationalists Gain Power",
with the preface to it being -

"It was Henry Ford Sr. who said in substance ..."

IOW, the quote was not anything Henry Ford wrote or said, but
rather an abridgement or paraphrase of what the author of the article
wanted to claim. That is what the term "in substance" means.

From there, the quote appeared in "The Federal Reserve Hoax" -
a book by Wickliffe B. Vennard in 1959.

I'll give you three guesses as to where Vennard found his quote.

Here is the original as to what Henry Ford really wrote, which
was written before the Great Depression -

The people are naturally conservative. They are more conservative than
the financiers. Those who believe that the people are so easily led
that they would permit the printing presses to run off money like milk
tickets do not understand them. It is the innate conservation of the
people that has kept our money good in spite of the fantastic tricks
which financiers play-and which they cover up with high technical
terms.

The people are on the side of sound money. They are so unalterably on
the side of sound money that it is a serious question how they would
regard the system under which they live, if they once knew what the
initiate can do with it.

- from Henry Ford's book "My Life and Work", p. 179

What was Ford ranting about? Probably the concept of "sound money"
- which only a fool believes.

If only regular folks knew how banking worked. In Ford's day, the
gold standard was going out of style, but still in existence. Today,
that standard is no more. What we have replaced it with is something
far more sinister ...
