Kim Phillips-FeinGUEST
He both buys a newspaper, "The Dearborn Independent," and he also publishes a kind of mixed autobiography how-to guide for, for business, um, a business self-help type of book called "My Life and Work," where he writes about how the assembly line would be intolerable for somebody like him, but for the people who are on the assembly line, his life of power and privilege would also be something they could never really imagine having or carrying out.
Kim Phillips-FeinGUEST
So he, he kind of writes about that set of ideas there.

In his newspaper, The Dearborn Independent, He explicitly named New York financier Jacob Schiff, but also Warburg and the Rothschild banking families.

speaker_0NARRATOR
allowing them to finance both the allied and central powers simultaneously.

According to his theory, the bankers accumulated billions of dollars in compound interest from wartime government debts, then used the chaos to bankroll the 1917 Russian Revolution, and later crashed the European currencies to buy up valuable national assets for pennies on the dollar.
