Look, I love the Jews, but a rocket-launching Ariel Sharon may very well be the best end boss since the wheelchair guy in Rise of the Triad. But what's this about Sharon silencing Henry Ford? This is the assembly line and automobile Henry Ford, right? I know he's like a billion years old, but even if you give a freebie on all the hate speech I don't quite think the timelines work for young Ariel to kill off Ford.


the dark and gritty...Ice Cream Jonsey!


Henry Ford was a big fan of fascism in general, Nazism in particular, and this was in no small part due to his own strong anti-Jewish sentiments. Mind you, that does not mean all of the half-truths put forth in "Henry Ford and the Nazis" and other such works are true, but it suffice it to say that if Adolf Hitler grants you the highest civilian honor in Germany, and even WWII gives you no hesitation about hanging onto it, you just might be a bit of a nazi asshole at heart. Thus, Ford has become sort of a corporate role model for young racist professionals everywhere, especially considering how he was brutally "silenced" by American society (or, alternately, began to shut the fuck up when it really started causing him problems).

So, I believe the "We" in "We silenced in Henry Ford" is the generic, timeless Zionist Conspiracy (TM), rather than Ariel and friends in particular. Sharon is just the most recent manifestation of said conspiracy, and therefore theoretically the perfect end-boss for a quality game like this. Unfortunately, though, he's just a pale shadow of the Hitlermech from Wolfenstein 1. Deeply ironic, these nazi programmers.
