This article by Miles Mathis claims that the assassination of James A. Garfield was faked, similar to his previous analyses of Abraham Lincoln, William McKinley, and John F. Kennedy. Mathis argues that the mainstream narrative about Garfield’s assassination contains numerous inconsistencies and fabrications.

One key piece of evidence cited is the claim that Garfield had no bodyguard, which Mathis refutes by stating that presidents had always had guards, and that this contradicts the mainstream story about Abraham Lincoln also lacking a guard. Mathis suggests that the lack of security for presidents like Abraham Lincoln and Olof Palme is a common theme in these “fake assassinations.”

Mathis then delves into the genealogy of the alleged assassin, Charles Julius Guiteau, claiming he was not a nobody but part of established families with connections to British peerage, including the Stokes of London, the Morrises and Holyokes of New Haven, and Jewish families like the Mackays and Wolfes. He traces Guiteau’s lineage through various noble families, including the Scropes, who he claims were involved in the execution of Charles I. Mathis also connects Guiteau to figures like Nathan Hale, President John Tyler, and the Howes.

Further genealogical connections are made to Jane Augusta Howe (Guiteau’s mother), linking her to the Beveridges of Surrey, and through them to German royalty like Princess Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glucksburg and Prince Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha, a cousin of Prince Charles. Mathis suggests this indicates Guiteau’s true identity.

The article asserts that James A. Garfield himself was also part of these prominent families, with his mother being an Ingalls and a Wheeler, and his father Abram linked to the Ballous. Garfield is also claimed to be listed in the peerage, with connections to Shrewsbury, Shropshire, and Charles Darwin’s home, The Mount. Mathis highlights that Garfield and Guiteau were both Nevilles, implying a familial connection.

Mathis criticizes Garfield’s biography as fiction, particularly his upbringing in poverty and his supposed Christian faith. He questions the rapid advancement of Garfield’s career, from janitor to college president and lawyer without formal schooling, and his immediate commission as a Colonel despite no military experience.

The article also examines Garfield’s alleged involvement in scandals like Black Friday and Credit Mobilier, claiming he was a pawn of bankers like Salmon Chase and Albert Gallatin Riddle. He is accused of covering up the Black Friday scandal orchestrated by Jay Gould and James Fisk. Garfield’s role in the 1876 election theft, ensuring Rutherford B. Hayes’ victory over Samuel Tilden, is also highlighted.

Mathis then shifts focus to Chester A. Arthur, Garfield’s Vice President, arguing that Arthur was a MacArthur and a Murray, related to the Stanleys and Tudors, and from royalty. He posits that Arthur’s rise to the presidency was only possible through Garfield’s “fake assassination.”

The article criticizes the mainstream account of Guiteau’s insanity and his trial, suggesting the judge Walter Smith Cox and attorney Leigh Robinson were also related to Guiteau and Garfield. It points to Elihu Root, a prosecutor, also having familial ties and a suspicious career trajectory. Isaac Wayne MacVeagh, another prosecutor, is noted for his Lincoln lineage and connections to Simon Cameron.

Mathis draws parallels between Guiteau’s behavior in court and that of Charles Manson, suggesting both were actors. He claims Guiteau’s death and subsequent autopsy were faked, with his body allegedly moved to the National Museum of Health and Medicine and parts of his brain displayed at the Mutter Museum.

The article questions the medical treatment of Garfield after he was shot, particularly the actions of Dr. Willard Bliss and Alexander Graham Bell’s metal detector experiment, suggesting malpractice or deliberate misinformation.

Finally, Mathis suggests that Garfield himself may have lived for many more years, with his son Harry Augustus Garfield marrying Nellie Mason, a cousin, and his other son James Rudolph Garfield marrying Helen Hills Newell, who had connections to the Noyes family, the same family as Guiteau’s mentor. Garfield’s daughter Molly Garfield married Joseph Stanley-Brown, whose real surname was Stanley, reinforcing the idea of the Stanley family’s hidden influence. Mathis concludes that professional historians are either complicit frauds or simply unintelligent for not recognizing these alleged deceptions.
