On January 15, 1936, Edsel Ford, the son of auto industry pioneer Henry Ford, formed this ‘philanthropic organization’ with a donation of $25,000. By 1947, after the death of the two founders, the foundation owned 90% of the non-voting shares of the Ford Motor Company (The Ford family retained the voting shares). The foundation, which was established in part as a legal way for the Ford family to avoid the hefty inheritance taxes that President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s administration imposed on large estates, grew into a multi-billion dollar institution. Between 1955 and 1974, the foundation sold its Ford Motor Company holdings and now plays no role in the automobile company. From its very origins there was a close structural relation and interchange of personnel at the highest levels between the CIA and the FF. This structural tie was based on the common imperial interests which they shared – imperial U.S. hegemony and a new world order – funding re-education, cultural change via socialist, anti-business, and/or anti-American hate Groups.
