My Favorite Watch

The most favorite watch I ever had was given to me by a Ford Motor Company executive. I was working in car sales at the time, and he had snuck past many other salesmen and was looking at a King Ranch edition F-150 that was sitting on the showroom floor. I presented the vehicle to him, and explained it’s many features and functions. He told me that if he were to buy a truck, he would want a 4x4 model and not a 4x2, which is what the truck we were looking at was. I explained to him that most people think they need a 4x4, when in truth they do not, because it rarely snows in our area to where a 4x2 would not be able to make it through. Also, the 4x2 had a limited slip axle, and a weighted bed should be enough to pull it through if the snow got too deep. At this point, he introduced himself as a Ford executive, told me he liked my presentation, and presented me with a watch that had the Ford logo on it’s face. I wore the watch proudly throughout the rest of my days as a salesman.

If you are in need of a good watch, check out some of these seiko watches. This site has a great collection, and they offer free second day shipping.

Auto Maker Bailout

I sold Ford cars and trucks for over ten years. Yes, they did put out a few clunkers like the Contour, but for the most part they put out quality cars and the best trucks. I never understood the anti American car bias in the media. I once watched a special that spotlighted the Crown Victoria, which is the car most police forces use across the country. The "expose" revealed that the Crown Victoria had a tendency to burst into flames when another car would hit it directly on the rear end at 90 miles per hour. Uh, wouldn't any car be more likely to burst into flames if it were hit by another car going 90 miles per hour? Think about it. Haven't most media reports over the years pretty much said American cars suck, and imports rock?

Hondas are fine vehicles, but a lot of hoopla has been made about them holding value better than American cars. This is true, but it is because Honda's have little rebates. How a dealer will determine the value of your car is, it will determine what the original invoice was, how much the rebates were at the time of purchase, then subtract the rebate from the invoice and then make the adjustments for age, mileage, and condition. The less the rebates are at the time of purchase, the more value the car will hold. It's pretty simple math.

The image the media is trying to portray is that American cars are big gas guzzlers, while the imports are little compacts that get great mileage. The truth is, American car companies and Japaneese car companies both make compact and gas guzzling cars. Have you ever heard of the Toyota Sequoia? or the Ford Focus?

It's clear to me now what the bias was about. They want to consolidate the American car companies, and bring them under total government control.

I had a good job once, now I work part time for minimum wage.

Automaker Bailout Denied

The big three American automakers went to the tax payers with their hands out, and they were sent away empty handed.

I believe in the free market, which means I don't think we should subsidize millionaires, but yet.....

I used to work for the largest Ford Auto dealer in the United States. My Sales director met with the head of Ford, and he came back with this story which I will now share with all of you. (I don't remember it exactly, so I will paraphrase.)

An ad man for a large national newspaper met with the head of Ford, trying to get his advertising business. The head of Ford (I don't remember his name) said "I would like to buy some advertising from you, but let me show you something." He then pulled out a copy of the ad person's newspaper and pointed to a section on the front page about a 50,000 vehicle Ford part recall.

The ad man then said "Yea, so?"

The head of Ford then turned to page thirty of the paper which mentioned a million vehicle Toyota part recall. "You do something about this, then I will buy some advertising from you."

"But that's not my department! I'm in advertising, That's different!"

"Not to me it's not."

There has been a media bias against American made vehicles for many years now, and the chickens are coming home to roost. I know it's not all the media's fault, but it certainly didn't help.

If I was a 'conspiracy theorist", I would say it's part of a plot to crash America's economy.

Ford Lincoln Mercury

If you've been on this planet for at least some of the time in the last 50 years, you've heard the marketing term Ford Lincoln Mercury. These are brand names of cars all owned by Ford motor company, and a lot of dealers carry all the brands, thus the term. I've decided to have some fun with synchromysticism and break down other meanings for the names in pulp culture.

In the film "The Postman", The future United States has been torn apart by civil war by the year 2013.(2012 Armageddon sync) A drifter finds a bag of mail and a dead postman. He proceeds to take the postman's uniform and grabs a bag of mail to try to trick a nearby town into giving him food. He tells the townsfolk a lie that the government has been restored, and the new president is named Richard Star-Key and he operates out of the Metrodome in Minnesota. This inspires a youth named "Ford Lincoln Mercury" to follow in his footsteps and thus the postal service is reborn.

In the beginning of the film, the hero of the story is walking alone with a donkey, and he is aptly kidnapped by a feudal general named Bethlehem. The hero is led to Bethlehem by a donkey, get it? I was watching a trailer for this film, and I was shocked to find a sync with the pyramids of Giza (piles of rocks) with the words "there is no order" superimposed over them! At 22 seconds.



If that frame looks familiar to you it should. Chances are you see something similar everyday. On the back of the one dollar bill at the base of the pyramid are the words Novus Ordo Seclorum, or new order of the ages.

Many take this to mean "New World Order". So put it all together and what does it mean? Here is an interpretation, By 2013 there will be "no order", thanks in part to the Postman, or one who makes "posts" on the Internet! Ha! THe Postman is played by Kevin Costner, who also played Jim Garrison, who was a real life DA who brought the Kennedy conspiracy to light.

The name of the company Ford is taken from the company's founder Henry Ford, who was the inventor of the assembly line and thus the founder of industry. In the book "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxly, written in 1932 set in 2540, humanity is controlled by genetic engineering and mind control. The god of this society, is named Ford! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_New_World

Ford's Theatre is where Abraham Lincoln was assassinated. It is interesting to not that the words Ford and Lincoln were often in the same news articles long before the invention of the automobile.



Gerald Ford served on the Warren Commission, which investigated the assasination of JFK, who was riding in a Lincoln when he was killed. So Lincoln was killed in Ford's theatre, and Kennedy was killed in a Lincoln, a brand owned by Ford! Gerald Ford is best known for pardoning Nixon for the Water-gate fiasco. Current Neo-cons Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld served in the Ford administration.

Abraham Lincoln was the 16th president of the United States, and also the first republican president. He served during the Civil war. Here is an interesting previous post on his memorial.

Lincoln is also the name of an American car company owned by Ford.

Mercury is the name of the Roman god of communication. He was the god of storytellers and mischief makers. The Staff of Mercury is two entwining snakes with an eagle on the top. It is used by the medical industry today.

DNA, the building blocks for human life very much resemble the staff of Mercury.

Mercury is also an element, a liquid metal. It was commonly used in thermometers as well as gold smelting and hat making. Hat makers in the 19th century often exhibited odd behavior, which is where the term "mad as a hatter" comes from. The odd behavior is believed to be due to exposure to mercury, which causes neurological disorders. It was and is used as a preservative in vaccines, and many parents believe it causes autism, which is a disease that severely effects a person's communication skills. Mercury the Roman god is the god of communication, Mercury the metal- destroys communication skills. Interesting.
In the early twentieth century, Lady Liberty appeared on dimes. These were also known as Mercury dimes because with the winged helmet they resembled the roman god Mercury.

Freddie Mercury was a rock singer of a band known as Queen. Unfortunately, he died of HIV complications in 1991.
