Profile: Jimmy Savile
BBC ^ | Oct 3 | BBC

Posted on 10/07/2023 4:57:18 PM PDT by RandFan

In his lifetime, millions knew Jimmy Savile as an eccentric TV personality. To some, he was Saint Jimmy, who raised £40m ($48 million) for charity. But it has transpired that he was also one of the UK's most prolific sexual predators.

Savile was one of Britain's biggest stars, a larger-than-life character who was known for tea-time TV favourites like Top of the Pops and Jim'll Fix It as well as stints on BBC Radio 1.

At the same time, it later came to light, he was exploiting his status to prey on hundreds of people - girls and boys, men and women, but mostly vulnerable young females.

He assaulted and raped them in television dressing rooms, hospitals, schools, children's homes and his caravan.

The scale of Savile's crimes was "to the best of our knowledge unprecedented in the UK", according to a report into his activities titled Giving Victims A Voice, which was published in 2013.

The abuse was thought to have begun in the mid-1940s, when he was in his late teens or early twenties, and lasted until 2009, two years before his death.

"It is now clear that Savile was hiding in plain sight and using his celebrity status and fund-raising activity to gain uncontrolled access to vulnerable people across six decades," the Giving Victims A Voice report concluded.

He was, the report said, "a mainly opportunistic individual who used his celebrity status as a powerful tool to coerce or control them, preying on the vulnerable or star-struck for his sexual gratification".

Another report, The Dame Janet Smith review, identified 72 victims of Savile in connection with his work at the BBC, including eight who were raped. Eleven of his victims were younger than 12 years old.

He may have been a Freemason. (or not, i have not looked into it)

However, MANY pedos hide in the “we are helping the kids”.

Shriners “raising money for health treatments”
Foster Parents
Child protective Services
“Counselors”
School admins

In the US yes.

In the UK, maybe not.

For some reason following WWII the British decided that perversion was good and only squares were upset by such.

You can see it in their TV shows where everyone is sleeping around and only the most perverted (incest and rape of children under the age of eight) is subject to any sort of disapproval.

I checked, and he was not a Mason, therefore not a Shriner. Good to know. He was evil.

But what isn’t talked about still is that what he really really liked, was snuff.

Indeed it was. There are indications that Jimmy was protected by pals and accomplices in the BBC and among the British elite.

“You Checked”. So, Masonry is a “secret” society.

Please tell me where to find the list and degrees achieved.

Actually, yes it is.

You look up the United Grand Lodge of England and you can find a list of members.

Not that hard.

I believe Hillarys campaign manager and his brother, stayed in Jimmy Savilles house in Portugal, and were there when a girl was snatched from the neighborhood.

Archie was right about a lot of things because, Carroll O Connor was wrong about them. He was an attempt to embarrass what is now the right. Except when I watched, Archie was a straight shooter and invariably correct.
