FORD and the NAZI PARTY and the SOVIETS and the PINTO & DEATH SQUADS AND .....

In September 1971 the Ford Motor Company launched the Pinto for the North American market with  design flaws could result in fuel tank explosions .   San Francisco magazine Mother Jones of the notorious “Ford Pinto Memo”, an internal Ford cost-benefit analysis showing that the cost of implementing design changes to the subcompact’s fuel system was greater than the economic cost of the burn injuries and deaths that could be prevented by doing so. Subsequently some have played down[61] the importance of this case, as Pinto explosion fatality estimates range widely from 27 to 900

In the mid-1960s, executives from 37 corporations, including Ford, organized themselves into the Business Group for Latin America.  The idea was both to influence Washington’s hemispheric policy and to apply direct pressue at the source, funding campaigns of friendly Latin American politicians, helping allies hold down prices, and providing financial guidance to cooperative regimes. When lobbying proved insufficient, members of the group, either individually or in concert, worked with the CIA to foment coups, as they did in Brazil in 1964 and Chile in 1973.  A number of multinational corporations, including Ford, Coca-Cola, Del Monte, and Mercedes-Benz have been accused in recent years of working closely with Latin American death squads—responsible for hundreds of thousands of killings throughout the hemisphere in the 1970s and 1980s—to counter labor organizing.

Ford’s Argentine subsidiary was accused of collaborating with the Argentine 1976–1983 military dictatorship, actively helping in the political repression of intellectuals and dissidents that was pursued by said government.   In a lawsuit initiated in 1996 by relatives of some of the estimated 600 Spanish citizens who disappeared in Argentina during the “Dirty War”, evidence was presented to support the allegation that much of this repression was directed by Ford and the other major industrial firms. According to a 5,000-page report, Ford executives drew up lists of “subversive” workers and handed them over to the military task-forces which were allowed to operate within the factories. These groups allegedly kidnapped, tortured and murdered workers.

 The German Ford company used slave labor in Cologne between 1941 and 1945 and it had produced military vehicles such as jeeps, planes, and ships used by a fascist regime. Many of these allegations were made in a series of United States lawsuits in 1998. 

Ford was also criticized for tread separation and tire disintegration of many Firestone tires installed on Ford Explorers, Mercury Mountaineers, and Mazda Navajos, which caused many crashes during the late 1990s and early 2000s (decade). It is estimated that over 250 deaths and more than 3,000 serious injuries resulted from these failures. Although Firestone received most of the blame, some blame fell on Ford.

In May 1929 the Soviet Union signed an agreement with the Ford Motor Company.   Many American engineers and skilled auto workers moved to the Soviet Union to work on the plant and its production lines, which was named Gorkovsky Avtomobilny Zavod (GAZ), or Gorki Automotive Plant in 1932.   and eventually became victims of Stalin’s Great Terror, either shot[19] or exiled to Soviet gulags.  

In 1933, the Soviets completed construction on a production line for the Ford Model-A passenger car, called the GAZ-A, and a light truck, the GAZ-AA.

This is only the tip of an iceberg that descends into hell and anyone who buys from FORD supports the documented sacrifice and needs to ask themselves a thing or two.
