This article, “President William McKinley: Another Fake Assassination” by Miles Mathis, argues that the assassination of President William McKinley was staged. The author criticizes the narrative that McKinley was killed by bankers for opposing central banking and promoting sound money, stating that no one becomes President without being an agent of bankers. Mathis claims to have previously debunked the event as fake and now provides further details.
The author points to several alleged clues supporting his theory: a supposedly fabricated photograph of McKinley where the feet and stairs appear drawn in. He also highlights McKinley’s family connections, noting that his father-in-law, James Saxton, was a top banker and founder of banks and a newspaper in Canton, Ohio. The Saxton family genealogy is linked to prominent English and American families, including the Spencer-Churchills and Hervés, suggesting deep aristocratic ties. McKinley’s mother was a Campbell, tracing back to Scottish nobility and further linking him to powerful families like the Stuarts and Kennedys. His paternal side includes the Rose and Chapman families, with the latter linked to Mark David Chapman and Lawrence of Arabia, and a baronetcy that circles back to the Boyds.
Mathis also investigates the alleged murder of Ida Saxton’s brother, George Saxton, three years prior, claiming it was a staged death to cover his debts. The accused, Anna Ehrhart George, a relative of the Georges and potentially Amelia Earhart, was acquitted. The author suggests that neither the Saxton nor McKinley families attended George Saxton’s trial because they knew it was a hoax. This “fake death” narrative is further extended to Anna Ehrhart George’s second husband, Dr. Arthur Ridout, who also allegedly faked his death, linking to the Ridouts of Toronto, British peers, and the Titanic fraud.
The article posits that McKinley’s death was faked at the start of his second term to facilitate the transition to Vice President Theodore Roosevelt, who was considered too young. This is compared to the alleged faking of Abraham Lincoln’s assassination to install Andrew Johnson. The author suggests McKinley himself may have been mortally ill, leading to his disappearance.
Mathis analyzes reports from “WinterWatch” which he believes contain deliberate clues. He dismisses claims of lax security at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York, citing the existence of the Secret Service and Pinkerton Agency. He discusses George Cortelyou, McKinley’s secretary, linking him to bankers through his mentor Wilson Bissell, and notes his subsequent role as Secretary of the Treasury during the Panic of 1907, which the author claims was engineered by J. P. Morgan to pave the way for the Federal Reserve.
The article criticizes the handling of McKinley’s medical treatment after the shooting, highlighting the lack of doctors at the makeshift hospital, the involvement of a gynecologist in surgery and autopsy, and the transfer to the private home of John Milburn, an attorney for Standard Oil. These details are presented as evidence of a staged event.
Mathis then shifts to the alleged assassin, Leon Czolgosz, claiming he was funded by billionaire banker Jakob Schiff as part of a “fake opposition” orchestrated by bankers to discredit socialism and crush genuine revolutionary movements. This is compared to current political events, where the author claims organized groups are used to “blackwash” the left and push people towards the Republican Party, which he asserts is owned by bankers.
The article briefly touches on the alleged assassination of King Umberto I of Italy in Monza, questioning the official account and linking the alleged assassin, Gaetano Bresci, to anarchist groups founded by aristocratic agents like Errico Malatesta, who was connected to the Savoy dynasty and the First International. The founding of the First International is questioned due to the involvement of wealthy families like the Limouzins, who were linked to George Orwell.
Returning to Czolgosz, Mathis argues that his background, including his mother’s Polish origins (suggested to be Jewish) and involvement with the Knights of the Golden Eagle (a spin-off of Knights of Pythias, founded by Justus Rathbone), further links him to established secret societies and a pattern seen in the Lincoln assassination. The emblem of the Knights of the Golden Eagle, a phoenix, is seen as symbolic of regeneration.
The author dissects the details of the shooting, questioning the narrative of only two shots fired with a .32 caliber revolver, the ricochet off a button, and the fatality from a single belly wound. He highlights the numerological significance of the times and dates, and the unusual choice of a particular police precinct. The prosecutor, Thomas Penney, is identified as a cousin of McKinley, and the appointment of two former New York Supreme Court judges to defend Czolgosz is presented as further evidence of a rigged trial. The method of Czolgosz’s electrocution, with specific voltages, is also seen as symbolic.
Finally, the article reiterates that the staged assassination served multiple purposes, including the installation of Roosevelt and the subsequent crackdown on socialists, anarchists, unions, progressives, and any form of dissent under the guise of combating extremism. The author concludes by urging readers to reject the “lies” and planned future orchestrated by “merchants,” emphasizing resistance to various societal controls and manipulations.
