Martin Sieff, former chief foreign correspondent for UPI, and a speaker at the Sept. 5-6 Schiller Institute Conference, published an article in Strategic Culture Sept. 6 on the anniversary of the assassination of President McKinley in 1901 by anarchist Leon Czolgosz, a follower of terrorist Emma Goldman, in Buffalo, New York, on Sept. 6, 1901. Sieff treated the assassination as “an earlier presidential coup” which resulted in years of British-controlled American administrations. The title of his article was: “The Anarchist Assassination of U.S. President William McKinley and Its Links to the Murder of Tsar Alexander II.”
He wrote, “Like Tsar Alexander, McKinley was no evil tyrant but a successful reformer who had decisively improved terrible living conditions for scores of millions of people. He restored the U.S. economy by reviving the “national system’ of previous presidents such as Abraham Lincoln and James Garfield (both also assassinated). He especially increased industrial tariffs to keep British and German industries from undermining the U.S. industrial base with floods of subsidized and artificially supported ‘dumped’ exports.”
