    Thats rather chilling - the fact that he referred to himself as 'The Godfather' and made it clear he had plenty of contacts and could find basically anyones number, is rather telling. He was seen as a gangster type figure in the dancehall days in the 50s too - its staggering that such things could have been going on while he was on TV and thought of as some supposed national icon.

    There's a photo of him wearing the same thumb ring as the character on the front cover of A Clockwork Orange, I saw mention of that elsewhere last week but I can't find it now, its like a large black and white eye.

    ----

    I found some photos of him in robes and a mask, if anyones curious, see:-

    Thanks for finding those especially the mask. I found the first and asked if someone else could find the mask so welll done Izzy. :)

    I have to say that while everyone's experience is different, I never knew a single man who wore a kaftan in the 60s or 70s and I was an occasional 'weekend hippy' who lived in London at that time. They may have been worn in America, in films or on TV and in more recent depictions of those times but they were mostly worn by young women. If these are meant to be worn as hippy kaftans, JS does appear to favour the hooded ones. (Not all kaftans had hoods.) I don't see any connection between hippydom and JS unless he equated "Free Love" with the PIE. He looks as if he has left the 1970s behind quite some time ago in the third picture?

    The mask picture is nothing to do with hippydom. It is disturbing and probably meant to be.

    There's healthy ambition, ruthless ambition and shades in between. No one size fits all. Ambition can be good or bad depending on the personality involved.

    I agree with you that there are indeed ambitious people in other walks of life. Some of them are healthier than others as I'm sure you would accept.

    Didn't Jimmy Savile turn Lance Armstrong into a ruthless cheat when he met him cycling?
    I suppose it could of been fear if Savile was head of the mafia?

    Thanks :) I found another photo of what looks like a similar, if not the very same, top worn when he was a fair bit younger:- http://www.channel4.com/media/images/Channel4/c4-news/2011/NOV/08/08_savile_g_k_MED.jpg
    I'd have hated wearing something like that with the bits hanging off the hood - thats way too soppy, I'd have said as a kid lol.

    Oh there's this as well:- http://www.lisa-und-georg.de/mediac/400_0/media/Jimmy~Savile.jpg thats not quite as 'zany' though.

    I also came across this random story from 2009:-
    JIM'LL FIX IT

    Sometimes no specialist training is needed, just a dash of have-a-go spirit.

    Last August veteran broadcaster Sir Jimmy Savile fixed it for motorists when he stepped in to direct traffic after a road accident near his penthouse home.

    Sir Jimmy had been on his way to dinner in Leeds when his car narrowly avoided a collision with a Mercedes. The Merc then collided with another car head-on, and Sir Jimmy jumped out of his own vehicle.

    The 81-year-old began directing traffic around the wreckage. When the emergency services arrived, a police officer gave him a hi-vis jacket and told him to keep up the good work. Those years fronting road safety campaigns perhaps came in handy.

    with a photo of him wearing the police jacket:- http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/46026000/jpg/_46026380_44936128.jpg

    The police just left him to it? surely they'd have been better taking over themselves? did JS promise to return the jacket later? its a criminal offence to wear police uniform and pass yourself off as a police officer when your not and that clearly is an official piece of police uniform, labelled 'Police'? hmmm, seems a little random to me. I guess it was maybe one of his policemen chums who gave him it?.

    I realised I forgot to include the link to the story, sorry. Here:- http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/8140167.stm (its the last segment near the bottom of the page.). Keep up the good work indeed :rolleyes: ok that was nice trying to help direct traffic in that particular instance and all but all the same(!). I bet JS enjoyed feeling he had some perceived extra authority there for a short while too...even if just symbolically.

    The Express story is full of holes - most obviously that it's not about abuse, it's focus is 'Satanism' of the hysterical fundamentalist or Hollywood variety (see the Satanic abuse stories of the 80S/90s ).
    Only Savile is alleged to have abused her, and that would require all the other participants to have been facilitators, stooges in an enormous ruse to enable him - when he's not shown any need to disguise his predeliction both earlier and later. That, or they are supposed to be engaged in a 'genuine' Satanic event, in spite of the comical outbursts and Savile still holding a Cigar while wearing a mask. An event modelled on completely fictitious ideas of what one would look like.
    The claimant concludes that her parents (who they say consented) were 'well known Satanists' - once again directing the focus of the piece not towards sexual abuse but alleged 'un-christian' activities. Savile appears in the story only to make it more lurid - and it's highly doubtful they'd have run the piece if he hadn't featured.

    From what I understood, it was the writer who said Savile used a mask, not the "victim" and the whole ritual seemed to me more a staged act to scare her. A sadistic thing. Not that I believe in the story.

    About "ritual abuse", I used to be of the same opinion of you. I'm not sure Wikipedia is the best source of info and so of the cases in the article remain "inconclusive". There seemed to be a "moral panic" about day care institutions in the 80's and early 90's that undermined the whole idea, especially in the US.

    Then I watched this German documentary.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUzQ7aqFyiU

    (It is in five parts. Terrible stuff)

    And I'm not sure if I don't believe it anymore. The problem with "ritual abuse" is that the idea was hijacked by christians fundamentalists and conspiracy theorists, who thinks the world is controlled by Illuminati/Masons/Satan Worshippers/Jews colluded with the Catholic Church, etc. If there is "ritual abuse" these people are not helping.

    I would never have thought of Armstrong as a sociopath before until I saw his interview with Oprah. He seemed strangely cold and detached and cut off from his feelings.....it actually reminded me of some of Savile's more belligerent interviews.

    That, combined with the stories of him bullying and trampling over numerous friends and colleagues makes me suspicious that he may be some form of sociopath or narcissist.

    Incidentally, Oprah actually dropped the word 'sociopath' into the interview at one point in relation to him.

    He would have loved it I'm sure. It just shows how we weaved his magic spell while blowing smokescreen rings around others. (Joke - sort of.) "Carry On Jim."

    Why anyone would disbelieve after that says more about them... :(

    I didn't want to watch it and i think that is part of the problem. No-one, except those who gratify themselves at the expense of toddlers upwards, wants to believe it.

    Even if there is any doubt, there should be all consideration given to the children involved.

    No kidding - while many members of the public may have questioned him due to his 'eccentricities', others including those in authority held him in fairly high regard as a 'good egg' or even some pillar of the community for helping out at Leeds General Infirmary, I'd imagine.

    Regarding Wikipedia, the way I look at it is its information is as good as the sources provided. Really Wikipedia is just a place (a massive notice board of sorts or obviously an electronic encyclopedia) for posting things - its up to the person who makes the entry to provide sources or a bibliography to back up whats written. I've heard people say not to take everything you read there as fact but that applies to any website - anyone could type anything really, the proof is in the legitimacy of such sources (or as its referred to on the site 'References').

    I've heard one or two people hint that they think everything on Wikipedia is nonsense or overly exaggerated, which makes me wonder if they read inaccurate information on another website, would they be more likely to believe it but if they read truthful information via Wikipedia, they'd take it with a grain of salt? it seems a little daft.

    I guess the question of which site (if any) is specifically the best source of information on a given subject is slightly different though but I just wanted to throw that out there (sorry for going perhaps a bit off topic there).

    ADDITION TO THIS LOT:

    Thats a bit more information about the link to MENSA, since someone asked about that recently I think.

    The alleged victim is the sole source of the story, all the details must have come from them, unless the (conspiracy fond) express are even more underhanded & salacious.

    I'm not sure Wikipedia is the best source of info and so of the cases in the article remain "inconclusive". There seemed to be a "moral panic" about day care institutions in the 80's and early 90's that undermined the whole idea, especially in the US.

    The Wikipedia link is simply a quick collection of actual cases from the period (they can all be independently googled, it would have been a thankless trawl doing so individually!). I remember the hysteria of the period well, and how several 'investigators' promoting the idea of literal satanic practices - including police - had Evangelical connections. There were Evangelical groups touring universities and plugging their claims of satanic influences in pop music and television, finding 'evidence' everywhere. Their claims found their way into the conspiracy culture that emerged since, and they re-emerge whenever it there's an opportunity to piggyback on events from school shootings to child abuse.

    Yes, particularly in Europe there have been cases with these elements (and others without any abuse element like the 'Solar Temple' cult deaths) - but they are markedly distinct from the express story. There's no doubt they are paedophiles first, the rest is a distraction.
    The express story doesn't wash because (as with the hysterical evangelical claims before) the focus is not that abuse took place, but that 'Satanism' is real and being practiced in full technicolor glory at the end of every street.

    Radio DJ Jimmy Savile in the 1960s. From his initial job in the coal mines, to DJ'ing for Radio 1 to presenting TV's Jim'll Fix It, Sir Jimmy Savile was the consumate showman. (Getty)

    So it was.

Maybe the keywords are purely in relation to the photo itself - that probably would creep out kids :confused::o

    I believe in Savile we are uncovering the Marc Dutroux of England, the procurer of children for the elite networks, and if the info about Heath proves correct, then quite possibly for snuff also.

    At a guess, I'd say he was attending some kind of Masked Ball - possibly a charity event or some celeb party? The thick (wool?) coat he's wearing looks like an overcoat, so possibly he's just arrived at the event or is leaving.
