TL;DR: We examine the largest American car makers and find just who you expect to find. An intermission closely examines high-level disinfo in operation. Stay tuned for the bonus where we find The Devil himself.

Quick note: Let’s begin with some good news which, at this point, is qualified by only being a lack of bad news. If you have a Japanese, Korean, or Chinese automobile parked out front, we aren’t going to talk about any of those manufacturers being associated with any Witches from either Salem or Germany. Oh, they might, but we’re not going to talk about them. As for American car owners, keep reading at your own peril. German car owners will get their turn in a separate next post. Yes, there is that much material.

We found out in the last post how the automotive industry in America got its start, but how does it stand now? Let’s look at the list of automotive manufacturers by production. Going by vehicles sold in 2024, there are three American manufacturers in the top 10: General Motors Company (GM), Stellantis (hold your fire), and Ford Motor Company.

There are different stories to tell about each of these but they all lead back to you-know-where. We’ll proceed in reverse-order. In main thrust, Ford devolves to the Dodges:

In 1903, the Ford Motor Company was launched in a converted factory, with $28,000, equivalent to $1,003,000 in 2025, in cash from twelve investors, most notably John and Horace Dodge, who later founded the Dodge Brothers Motor Vehicle Company.

And further from the Wikipedia page on Dodge:

Henry Ford selected the Dodge brothers to supply a wide range of components for his original Model A (1903–04) comprising the entire chassis: Ford needed to add only the body and wheels to finish the cars.

Enough said about Ford Motor? That brings us to Stellantis, which acquired Dodge. Shouldn’t we skip it because it’s based out of the Netherlands? Skip ahead if you like, but the CEO operates out of Auburn Hills, Michigan. For practical purposes, we’re talking about the American company, Dodge, founded in 1900 by brothers John Francis Dodge (1864-1920) and Horace Elgin Dodge (1868-1920).

The genealogy is thankfully direct. Start with the Geni page for either John Francis Dodge or Horace Elgin Dodge, Sr.. Keep clicking on the “Son of” link to arrive at their 3g-grandfather, Captain William Dodge (1640-1720).

Captain William had a Captain brother, Capt. John Dodge, of Salem (1636-1723). His wife was Sarah Dodge (Proctor) (1641-1705) and her brother was John Proctor (1631-1692). The Proctors were up to their eyebrows in Salem Witchery.

For example, they claim to have hanged the witches at a place called “Proctor’s Ledge”, which is now some sort of tourist attraction: Proctor’s Ledge Memorial. Want to know how bad the gaslighting is?

The area was apparently owned by Proctors at one time, though is not directly connected to John Proctor who was executed here on August 19.

Anybody but him, huh? Oh, okay, maybe it was the home of America’s first proctologist, which is a different thing. Or they’re just shitting us.

Intermission for analysis of high-level disinfo: For those who still harbor doubts, I want to demonstrate again that “Miles Mathis” is not a stellar or even less-than-stellar researcher, it is a less-than-stellar disinformation project by committee. You see, Mathis published his paper on the fake Salem Witch Trials (18-page PDF) in October 2015. He never mentions the Dodges. They were there but Sarah Dodge went by Sarah Proctor at that time so it’s easy to miss. Fair enough, I suppose.

Less than a year later, in August 2016, he publishes his paper exposing Mabel Dodge Luhan (18-page PDF), a patroness of the arts but actually a spook. In it, he specifically cites the very same Capt. John Dodge of Salem that I did above, since he was a direct ancestor of Mabel’s husband.

Okay, Miles gets it about Salem and the Dodges, right? He’s actually mentioned the Dodges many other times in other papers, connected to other events. When you hear “Dodge”, you almost certainly think “cars”, don’t you? Here’s what Mathis has to say in that Luhan paper about “Dodge” and “cars”:

[The Ghost Ranch] was built by Roy Dikeman Chapin, head of the Hudson Motorcar Corporation (later AMC).

That’s as close as he gets you to anything we’re talking about here. I keep trying to emphasize that the purpose of the “Miles Mathis” project is to run you off into the weeds. Those are some pretty tall weeds.

We finally turn to the largest American manufacturer, General Motors. We already covered a lot about GM in a very different context:

Peek behind the Flint water crisis and you’ll find the Motts (oh, and they also run General Motors and maybe the state of Michigan) (conspiracies.win 10/28/2024)

You know what’s notable? If you search the Wikipedia pages for GM and the History of General Motors, you will not find one single mention of any Mott. If you look in the Sidebar of the GM page, you’ll see three “Key people”: Pierre S. du Pont, Charles Kettering, and Alfred P. Sloan. Kettering and Sloan were merely protégés of Charles Stewart Mott. The du Ponts are so far out on the periphery I will probably never write about them. My point is that when these people want to keep a low profile, They can.

GM was founded in 1908 by William C. Durant (1861-1947) and Josiah Dallas Dort (1861-1925). Both of them look to be Salem Witches.

Durant most certainly is. He was born in Boston and his parents were William Clark Durant and Rebecca Folger Durant (née Crapo). The Folger alone does it. I don’t think we need to bother seeing if the Clark connects to any of the eight Clarks/Clarkes that were at the Salem Witch Trials, do we?

Josiah Dallas Dort is a more interesting case, genealogically speaking. His unusual middle name provoked me. We have seen over and over that these people use their middle names to reflect their mother’s bloodline or another important bloodline farther back. Is that at work here? I can’t prove anything, but buckle your seatbelt.

Dort doesn’t exist at Geni or Wikitree, but I was able to find his grave at Find a Grave: Josiah Dallas Dort. There, we find his mother was Marcy Jones Straight. Her second husband was Josiah’s father, and her fourth husband was Benjamin Franklin Brainard. Sure, naming your child after a famous personage is not uncommon, but make sure that belt is snug.

We just found that Josiah Dallas Dort’s partner was a Folger, did we not? Well, Bethshua Folger-Pope was one of the main witnesses at the Trials, and her sister’s son was Benjamin Franklin. Yes, the very one people would name their children after. There’s more.

Ben had a daughter named Sarah Franklin Bache and she had a son named Richard Bache Jr.. He married a woman named—get this—Sophia Burrell Dallas. There’s more.

Sophia was not just some chick with an interesting name. Her father was Alexander J. Dallas (statesman), and Wikipedia says this:

His other son George Mifflin Dallas was Vice President under James K. Polk and one possible namesake for Dallas, Texas; his father and brother are other possible namesakes of the Texas city.

Wow, they really go out of their way to tell us that city was definitely and pretty much certainly named after anyone but this guy. You know, the city where the Salem Witches blew JFK’s brains out.

Extended Bonus: This is something I would have liked to include in the last post, which was all about “Ford and Lincoln”. It’s applicable here as well, because the Lincoln Motor Company, founded in 1917, is now a division of Ford.

The founder of Lincoln, Henry M. Leland (1843-1932), says straight out that he named the company after Honest Abe, the first President for whom he ever voted. I have written much about Salem Witch/President Abraham Lincoln (see posts on 7/23/2025, 7/29/2025, and 8/4/2025). BTW, Henry also previously founded Cadillac in 1902.

We’ll start two centuries farther back with another Henry Leland (1625-1680). Of many, he had two great-grandsons we’ll discuss. The first of those is Jesse Leland (1737-1801). If you want a visual aid, go to that Wikitree page and click on the “Ancestors” tab. Otherwise, just trust that I’ve done all the detail work and that these people are related.

On that tab, you’ll see that Jesse’s 2g-grandfather was Edmund Rice (abt. 1594 - abt. 1663). Edmund’s 3g-grandaughter was Elizabeth Persis (Rice) Olds (1755-1815). Her great-grandson was Ransom Eli Olds (1864-1950). Yes, as in both “Oldsmobile” and “REO Speedwagon”.

Note here how long “They” set things up in advance. Edmund Rice comes over during the Puritan Great Migration, then over two centuries later we have descendants of that one single guy founding both Lincoln and Olds. Do you really think that’s mere happenstance? Do you see why I don’t think it’s unreasonable that Henry Ford was sent over in 1848 to eventually make cars?

But are these the same Rices that Wikipedia’s list includes as “Sarah Davis Rice” and her husband “Nicholas Rist [sic]”? The answer I believe is yes, but I would have to make a case about hidden genealogy that we don’t have space for now. For the moment, if you go to the page for that 17th Century Henry and click on the “Descendants” tab, you’ll recognize many Salem Witch names.

In fact, that very page is where we have a problem, one which concerns the other of Henry’s great-grandsons previously mentioned, William Lealand (1725-1762). Wikitree records two children for him, but the Geni page for William Leland records an additional three. I might consider that a mere clerical error except for the rest of what I found.

You see, through the line of one of those missing children, William had a great-grandchild named Charles Godfrey Leland (1824-1903), a man of note including his own Wikipedia page. I backed into all this, actually, stumbling into his name on the page, “Witch trials in the early modern period”, and this very provocative passage:

In the early 20th century, a number of individuals and groups emerged in Europe, primarily Britain, and subsequently the United States as well, claiming to be the surviving remnants of the pagan witch-cult described in the works of Margaret Murray. The first of these actually appeared in the last few years of the 19th century, being a manuscript that American folklorist Charles Leland claimed he had been given by a woman who was a member of a group of witches worshipping the god Lucifer and goddess Diana in Tuscany,

We began with cars and arrived at Satan—and with a very heavy Salem Witch resonance, would you not agree? In what I feel is not a coincidence, while Wikitree has excised the genealogy that leads to Charles Godfrey Leland, if you look along the side on the Wikitree pages for many of the Lelands we have found, you’ll see that the “Profile manager” is listed as Bobby Godfrey. Well, well.

Thanks for reading!
