As far as American Icons go it probably doesn't get much bigger and recognizable than Henry Ford and Ford Motors. Not the inventor of the automobile, that credit goes to Carl Benz (go back and listen to that episode) but Henry developed what would become the modern automotive industry as we know it. Assembly lines were a thing, just not with cars until Henry decided to use them to mass produce the Model T. His first mass produced car took the nation by storm and at one point 1/2 of all individuals who learned how to drive did so on a Model T. Where Henry excelled at making affordable reliable vehicles he fell short on personal skills, treatment of his workers, and being a father. He even almost caused the downfall of his company by not being able to tear himself away from his precious Model T and modernize with companies like General Motors who came along and challenged Ford for the top spot and for a while took the crown. Through the "Pony Wars" where each manufacturer took turns one upping each other on Horsepower, to the battle to make the most economical car when the gas shortages hit. The story of Ford is fascinating to say the very least.Side note: Prof Chris was battling through a sinus infection which is why he sounds so sexy. Support the show

In their first episode of this third arc, Fritz introduces daddy of America and total Nazi prick, Henry Ford, to TENE's rogues' gallery. They take a look at Fordism as basically Taylorism on amphetamines plus with a private army of spies and thugs to keep labor in line. Fritz describes Henry Ford's bizarre schemes to Americanize his immigrant labor force as well as a little colony in Brazil called Fordlandia. But that's not all! The crew then looks at Ford's rabid anti-Semitism and adoration - even financial and industrial support - of the Nazi war machine as well as Hitler's crush on Henry. Of course, Fritz opens up Ford's infamous two-year Anti-Semitic rant, The International Jew, and Rey elucidates its surprising links to the Christian Identity movement. No episode would be complete without a glance at Ford's cronies, however, so TENE introduces homicidal Harry Bennet and his Henchmendersons, Christian Identity progenitor Bill Cameron, spymaster Ernest Liebold, and Nazi envoy Kurt Lüdecke to their roster of assholes. sound effects from freesound.org bossa nova song from the always fun fesliyanstudios.com This is The Empire Never Ended, the Antifascist Amerikanski-Balkan podcast about (neo) fascist terror, the (deep) state and the alienation, nihilism and desperation produced by the capitalist system.
