President McKinley's funeral cortege in Washington, D.C.

[TomKaren1994]

I'm not sure that the description is totally correct. I'm pretty sure Thomas Edison filmed McKinley's funeral cortege, shown here from 1:15 - 3:00, in Canton, Ohio.

1:03 "Thats one of them there new picture show cameras!"

[lildwayne21]

Wow. This is amazing footage

[rsouthern]

You idiots show no compassion for this man or any other but yourself! Not a single president gives a shit about you nor was the position ever designed to accept for it on paper. Its creation began in a small circle of men just as it will remain that way making none of you good enough to be even a skinny boy toy

[garcia2ca]

Just imagine all this people in this movie are also dead.

[AgaMbadi]

The oldest living man is an American named Walter Breuning.  At 113 years old, he can remember the day that McKinley was shot!!! He was getting his first haircut that day. How amazing is that??? Look him up on Wiki.

@AgaMbadi wow the stuff he saw think about it he was to old to serve in ww2

[AgaMbadi]

@phillip549 Yeah. Just think, almost every person living on earth when this video was made is dead, except for Walter and a few hundred others over the age of 109.

[phillip549]

@AgaMbadi its amazing how quickley things can change just 60 years after the first flight man was on the moon and he saw every change

It was on September 6 1901 that President William McKinley was assassinated through the intrigues of the Rothschilds and their hit-men.

With McKinley out of the way, the path to the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 was easily paved through the pawns of Jewish agents of the House of Rothschild. Two such Rothschild agents were the powerful Jewish bankers Jacob Schiff and Max Warburg.

Forget all the bullshit political party arguing...this is a clip of President McKinnley's funeral, show some respect.

The rights of many {the collective} trump the rights of the individual. Economic centralization gives rise to privilege amongst party toadies. Only the citizens of the relatively-free (increasing despotic) West champion Marx. Find an expatriated citizen of China or Vietnam who has a glowing acct. of how he & his family have fared under whatever passes for Marxism. I've not heard of any Americans defecting to these commie utopias. Commies ALWAYS want to share in the capital generated by others.

That must have been Stymies first on screen performance

[Asparagusville]

The worst presidents {those who did the most damage to the Republic} are Lincoln, F.D.R., Wilson, L.B.J., Col. Roosevelt. On the other side we have Jefferson, Gen. Taylor, Warren Harding & Ike.

Is this your professional opinion Asparagusville? Interesting grouping indeed...... LSD and an old high school history book?

[Asparagusville]

I'm here to help you.

[billyguns2]

Finally, some reason based on historical fact! I agree with all of your ratings, and would add Calvin Coolidge and Grover Cleveland to your list of positive influences and William McKinley as one of the worst ever.

[Asparagusville]

Because Stephen Grover Cleveland sent troops to Venezuela to arbitrate in its boundary dispute with the British Empire he doesn't fare so well in Walter Karp's "The Politics of War."

[billyguns2]

Was any life lost in that action? Cleveland consulted the U.S. Constitution before he did just about anything; he actually believed he should uphold his oath of office. The incident to which you refer is a small, uncharacteristic and unconstitutional blip on his largely successful presidencies; he ardently believed in the Monroe Doctrine.

[Asparagusville]

The Monroe Doctrine isn't part of the Constitution. Cleveland set a precedent by sending troops. Britain wasn't expanding her Empire, just protecting it. The squabble between Venezuela & Britain was one to be worked out among cartographers.

[billyguns2]

I know the Monroe Doctrine is not part of the Constitution, and if you carefully read what I wrote I said "it was uncharacteristic and unconstitutional" of him to send troops. He believed in this policy ad felt that we were being threatened. Really, when you consider the horrible assaults on the Constitution by McKinley, T.R., Wilson, Hoover, FDR, Truman, LBJ, Nixon, Clinton, the Bushes and Obama, this pales.

[Asparagusville]

Cleveland laid the foundation from which to build upon. Give 'em an inch and they'll take a mile. Once Americans become accustomed to their soldiers playing the role of international policemen then occupation to maintain civil order, as in the Philippines with wild Bill McKinley, is reasonable though blatantly ANTI-Constitutional.
