He (and the Russian aristocracy) lost two major wars disastrously.
They let the great Russian empire descend into starvation, chaos and the humiliation of defeat;
first by Japan in 1904, when Russia's massive navy was utterly destroyed;
and then defeated again by Germany and Austria-Hungary in 1917.
Nicholas was blind with arrogance and a sense of his family's "divine right to rule", notwithstanding a reign of unending failures and disasters.
And he was totally out of touch with reality.
When his dynasty fell, and then the Bolsheviks seized power, no other government in Europe would accept Nicholas, negotiate for his life or offer asylum to his family.
And this included the British Empire with his first cousin King George.
No government wanted to be associated with him in any way.
There was little sympathy for Nicholas and Alexandra (herself a German princess), given their long record of hubris, arrogance and stubbornness.
Russia's imperial elites and nobility were hardly any better.
They were despised by millions of Russian peasants, hungry workers and defeated soldiers; who blamed the Tsar personally for the tragic state of the empire.
Since Rachel originally referenced the 1935 movie “The 39 Steps”, I thought I’d post this here for those not familiar with this cinematic masterpiece.
It would not be exaggerating to call Hitchcock the most innovative and revolutionary film maker of our century.
Because so many of his works broke new ground.
Orson Welles (given “Citizen Kane” and “Touch of Evil”) is up there with Hitchcock, but never produced anywhere near the sheer volume of Hitchcock’s genius at movie and TV narrative
This particular film is full of “tells”.
But also a real lesson on the world of 1935.
The iron censorship of the "Hays Code" was critical to the history of American cinema.
To understand what it represented, you watch some films from BEFORE the code was imposed.
To get the timeline straight:
1) Herbert Hoover was President when Wall St. crashed in 1929.
2) From there the nations whose economies were most drastically affected rapidly descended into business failures, bank runs, foreclosures and massive unemployment.
3) The first "talkies" were already playing in the theaters, alongside silent films.
4) The "Hays Code" was imposed as a reaction to the brutal frankness and social critique that was busting out in the movies. It needed to be "restrained" and disciplined.
5) The talkies made going to the movies the second most important source of escapist entertainment (for the unemployed and working poor) after listening to radio.
Radio was free.
But for a nickel, you could sit in the movie theater all day long. Out of the cold or the rain.
6) In 1932 FDR was elected in a landslide, and immediately they repealed alcohol prohibition.
This restored public drinking to its prominent place in the array of escapist entertainments.
Parenthetically: I have always cringed (and sometimes been shocked) by some of Shirley Temple's earliest performances. Watch some of her films from before the "Hays Code" and after, for a comparison.
Then reflect on her age; and the lines scripted for her by Hollywood screen writers.
I've just been randomly listening to some of this guy's videos. In this one he brings up Jimmy Savile at 8:55, and apparently Kier Starmer recently saying there was no evidence against him, when Starmer was, in name, head of the CPS. This Tom Cahill points out ...the only evidence ever put forward is "everybody knows"...the world's biggest paedo without a shred of evidence. Yes indeed.
Kier Starmer & his love of silly stories, but how appropriate whilst in public office? 21 Aug 2024
I thought I'd have another look through the photos, because I want to pick up a few more proofs that JIMMY SAVILE is a fictional entity, no more real than KERMIT THE FROG. People who push the idea he is a paedophile are merchants of HEAR-SAY, else employed by the State to push a narrative (and likely sell books).
I've posted this picture before. Consider, there is always a reason for the items of clothing someone in front of a camera decides to wear. Savile is no exception. The thick wrist chains are to hide the sleeve end of his skin suit. See the line that should be hidden behind the chain? We therefore know he is wearing fake arm hair. Why would he need to do that?
In later life he took to wearing pink tinted glasses. Undoubtably, the actor wore dark brown contact lenses for the Savile character, we were not seeing his natural eye colour. I suspect the pink glasses were adopted because he didn't want to wear the contact lenses if he could get away without them, so optically, if his eyes were really greenish...green plus pink, you are going to get something that optically mixes to brown.
On the following examples, the first one I would say he is wearing his contacts, and on the second I would say he is not. Also, note how the pink tint of the glass is a fair bit stronger in the second picture.
Now I don't know for sure if it's always the same person...because part of what we are seeing isn't permanently Savile's face. It could be just this temporary part that changes, and this is actually what makes him look different over time. Else, there could be more than one person playing Savile over the lifetime of the character. Whichever, I'll show the sleeve again in another picture.
See just below his wrist, again a line and flap showing where the fake skin ends. Also, see how the weight of the chain is making his fake skin slightly wrinkle up where the white shell-suit sleeve starts, just the same as if he was wearing a cotton sleeve.
This evening, I've been listening to random videos by Tom Cahill in the background, and between the one I'm going to post below and the previous is some ten years. In the mean time Tom has come to the conclusion Chris Spivey was government controlled, but in this one he's commenting on a Spivey article about Jimmy Savile and Amanda Holden.
ALPonz Doing a McAlpine - Jimmy Savile Amanda Holden October 22, 2013
At 2:10, he gets to the part in the article where Spivey writes:-
"...Amanda 'gosh I'm lovely' Holden claims Jimmy Savile chatted her up when she was NINETEEN. He didn't grab hold of her or try and rape her, he just said he'd like to give her one. No crime there. And since she was a nobody back then, I imagine at NINETEEN and a wannabe, she didn't tell him to fuck off out of it. Mind you, she doesn't give much important detail out at all..."
Well with that, knowing what I know about Jimmy Savile, I couldn't resist looking at a few pictures of Amanda Holden.
Does that thigh make you feel slightly queasy? I want a vomit bag.
The thing that really flips my lid is the fake plastic skin. All of these people pretending to be semi-naked for the camera, just to fool us into thinking they're a sex they're not. The mass inflation because these fuckers have to find ways to steal taxes to pay for their fake plastic lives...their fake plastic skin, their fake plastic breasts, their fake plastic hair, their fake plastic teeth, their fake plastic eyes. And for what? Who would actively choose to be on their team once the truth is revealed?
Can you see where the line between fake and real skin is? I'll show you.
And what we are actually looking at is something like this.
Remember in the last post, Chris Spivey, in an article, quoted Amanda Holden apparently saying she met Jimmy Savile when she was age NINETEEN and not much happened. Well, I was looking for the name of the alleged victim, who apparently kicked off the whole controversy just after Savile reportedly died.
Karin had been writing an autobiography detailing her memories, which she had self-published online, and hadn't expected anyone to come across.
In her memoir, she described him as 'JS' - a cigar smoking celebrity who abused her and her friends from the age of four to 17 at Duncroft Approved School for Girls near Staines, Surrey.
Former Newsnight producer Meirion Jones, who had early suspicions about Savile, did find it and believed it was 'immediately obvious' she was speaking about the entertainer.
Karin said that she received a phone call from Meirion, who was "pleasant but very persistent", and that's what "got the ball rolling".
The interview with Karin only went ahead as part of a 'deathbed confession' as she prepared to go in for major surgery that she wasn't expecting to survive.
She told the documentary: "What have I got to lose? It doesn’t matter if no one believes me because I’ll be dead."
But it just gets even more bizarre when one sees the Mirror article about the BBC documentary in which Karin Ward featured telling us Jimmy Savile was a child abuser. This freak-show programme apparently from a BBC Newsnight journalist.
And this is one of those fake plastic skin people, who clearly can't keep a straight face. ...Can you see what they are actually telling us in plain sight?
But that wasn't the "it gets better" part...rather, further down the Mirror article we have a photo of the first alleged sex victim, Karin Ward.
Speaking on the tape at the time, Karin said: "He promised me that if I gave him oral sex he would arrange for me and my friends to go to television centre and be on his television show."
This is Karin Ward, she is wearing a fake plastic neck skin designed to age her. Therefore, is she a real person?
And this is Amanda Holden, we've already seen the type of neckline she wears.
Oh, you don't think...they wouldn't, would they? Have the same actor making contradictory statements using two different disguises...Too bloody right they would. And just to give us an idea of how age makeup is used...this is Katie Price (probably another man going by her build) young and old, note the neck.
I didn't think I'd be able to top that one in this story, but it just gets better. I always thought the person who interviewed the victim Karin Ward was the murdered Jill Dando. I don't even know when the Jimmy Savile story broke. Looking it up, he allegedly died on the 29 October 2011according to wiki, and Jill Dando allegedly died on the 26 April 1999by a single shot to the head.
Who Killed Jill Dando? | Official Trailer | Netflix
This is the grab the Mirror article used which I assumed for years was Jill Dando. It is taken from the interview given shortly after Savile's death, confirmed by the picture caption;- "Liz MacKean interviewing Karin Ward shortly after Jimmy Savile's death in 2011". So that's what, fourteen years after Jill Dando's alleged death.
Oh look, we've got another one with a freaky neck line...
Let's do a proper comparison between the late BBC News reporter Jill Dando and the now late BBC News reporter Liz MacKean...probably around fifteen years between the two. They were being conservative when they said "You Only Live Twice".
Liz MacKean
Jill Dando
And here's a BBC News article from the 18 August 2017 reporting Liz MacKean's death at the age of 52...the "...mother-of-two studied at Manchester University and gained a post-graduate diploma in broadcast journalism before joining the BBC...".
MacKean's story about the child abuse committed by Jimmy Savile was dropped by Newsnight in 2011. But the investigation with producer Meirion Jones was later recognised by the London Press Club with a scoop of the year award.
Oh, go on, let's look up Meirion Jones for a laugh.
Meirion Jones is a Welsh journalist. He worked for the BBC from 1988 until 2015 and is now the editor of the Bureau of Investigative Journalism. Former Newsnight presenter Jeremy Paxman described Jones as "a dogged journalist with that obsessional, slightly nutty commitment that marks out all successful investigative reporters".
Jones has investigated many subjects, including the alleged fixing of the US presidential election in 2000, toxic waste dumping in Africa, how Britain helped Israel’s nuclear weapons programme, market-rigging by multinationals, bogus bomb detectors, tsunami aid, terror and security, political scandals, and financial scams. He has written for many newspapers including The Guardian.
Jones also worked with journalist Liz MacKean in late 2011 on a Newsnight investigation which aimed to expose recently deceased BBC star Jimmy Savile as a prolific paedophile. Its suppression by their boss, then Newsnight editor Peter Rippon, ultimately led to a major scandal. Jones featured in Netflix's two-part documentary Jimmy Savile: A British Horror Story (2022).
And then there is an interesting bit about "magic wand" type bomb detectors, could they have actually been a money laundering exercise so the best part of that $85 million could be diverted to say, ...fake plastic skin, fake plastic breasts, fake plastic hair, fake plastic teeth, fake plastic eyes...?
On 22 January 2010, the British government announced that it would ban the export of "magic wand" type bomb detectors to Iraq and Afghanistan because of the danger to British and allied troops. The ban on the ADE651, GT200, Alpha 6 and similar products was the result of an investigation by Jones and the BBC's former Baghdad correspondent Caroline Hawley broadcast that day which showed that the detectors did not and could not work. British businessman Jim McCormick sold $85 million of the bogus detectors to Iraq before the ban. The Inspector General of the Iraqi Interior Ministry told the BBC that hundreds of civilians in Baghdad had died as a result of because suicide bombers were able to smuggle explosives past checkpoints equipped with the bogus devices. On 23 April 2013, McCormick, was convicted of three counts of fraud involving the ADE651 at the Old Bailey in London, and was subsequently sentenced to ten years' imprisonment. The owner of the company which made the GT200, Gary Bolton, who sold thousands of the devices in Mexico Thailand and other countries was also convicted on 26 July 2013 on two charges of fraud and subsequently jailed for seven years.
Jones and Palast investigated Vulture fund operations, which attempt to divert into their own pockets the money given by Western governments to pay off the debts of poor countries. These films formed the centerpiece of a campaign backed by Oxfam and the Jubilee Debt Campaign to outlaw this practice through a Debt Relief Bill. The first film in 2007 exposed an American vulture who liked to call himself «Goldfinger» who was suing Zambia. It was rebroadcast in the USA and seen by two Congressmen who immediately went to the White House and asked President Bush face-to-face to curb the vulture funds. In 2010 the UK parliament finally voted to outlaw such vulture fund operations by passing the Debt Relief Act.
And yes, Meirion Jones is a plastic face...and from this picture, he has a striking resemblance to Barry George, the man who was convicted, then later acquitted of Jill Dando's murder.
I thought I'd listen to another Tom Cahill video in the background, and straight away some interesting stuff popped up that I didn't know. But firstly, at 6 mins, he's talking about the Madeleine McCann case and he says he was speaking to a friend and he told Tom, 'look what came out days prior to the abduction, only the official 7/7 report'. Was the Madeleine McCann case designed as planned chaff so MSM could drop the 7/7 report from its news cycle as quick as possible? ...And 7/7 is how I came across his channel, I'd just read an academic report about what happened at Canary Wharf and was searching a couple of the references, one bringing up Tom's video about Tony Farrell.
M McCann: statistically impossibly poor "*cover up". Why?: 7/7 Report & Gladio pass for Portugal? December 4, 2015
But before that at 3 minutes 45, Tom tells us...
...It's also important to remember that the policeman from England who is heading up the... well, what they call an investigation, but it can't be an investigation, it can only be an investigation if the Portuguese police are doing it, because it's in Portugal [JURISDICTION] ...but, he was the guy who fitted up Barry George, wasn't he; and Barry George has now been released from prison for allegedly murdering Jill Dando...and they said he didn't...and they refused to give him any compensation. ...Again, very very very weird, but again he was obviously set up from day one anyway...
---------------------
Just to recap what I've highlighted in the earlier posts, remembering we have a whole thread on the fakeness of Jimmy Savile, and that there is a good chance the original person playing him during the Jim'll Fix It era was female. Therefore, anyone in an official capacity who doesn't start by revealing the persona's true identity...the actor under the fake plastic bits...is part of a CONSPIRACY TO COMMIT FRAUD, and if they actually hold public office, they should be prosecuted for misfeasance in public office.
So, from the information we've found in the last few posts:-
We have a direct link between Jill Dando and Madeleine McCann via the policeman who headed up the English side of the Madeleine McCann case. We find out he is also the policeman who allegedly arrested the persona Barry George for the murder of BBC News presenter Jill Dando.
When we look at Barry George, who was acquitted of the murder of Jill Dando after originally being found guilty; we find he looks suspiciously like the persona we are told is ex-BBC Newsight producer Meirion Jones...but in a fat-suit.
We then find out BBC Newsnight editor Peter Rippon, who was in post just over a month at the time, tried to drop an exposé of the now dead Jimmy Savile, allegedly put together by Liz MacKean, a persona that in some videos, could easily be mistaken for murdered Jill Dando...both working at BBC News at the same time for at least part of their careers.
After Liz MacKean was knocked back, we are told the BBC attempted to destroy her reputation; meanwhile Meirion Jones, who is said to have worked on the story with Liz, managed to bring it back this time getting it published accusing BBC Newsnight editor Peter Rippon of a coverup.
Meirion Jones goes on to be awarded the London Press Club's scoop of the year for the story...which tells us all we need to know about that organisation; and later gets the editor's job for the Bureau of Investigative Journalism...which tells us all we need to know about that organisation.
It is quite possible BBC Newsnight editor Peter Rippon was brought in as a nightwatchman for the Jimmy Savile story, to throw away someone's reputation that didn't actually have one...that was the tactic used for the Hillsborough disaster where "David Duckenfield was promoted to his role as Chief Superintendent just NINETEEN days before the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest". Else, he could have seen the story for what it was, refused it, then a bigger, Tony Blair shaped fish top trumped him to get it published.
Interesting that this comes from BBC Newsnight...note the clips at the start.
The rise of 'fake news', manipulation and 'alternative facts' - BBC Newsnight Feb 06 2017
I came across this Telegraph article dated 21 October 2012; it's about the BBC scrapping the Jimmy Savile investigation after Newsnight allegedly came under pressure from senior managers. It starts by attacking the then BBC director-general George Entwistle, but looking him up, just like the BBC Newsnight editor Peter Rippon, Entwistle had only been in post weeks.
...Emails obtained by the programme appear to add further weight to suspicions that some of the BBC’s most senior executives decided that the Savile investigation should be dropped to spare the corporation embarrassment.
It puts Mr Entwistle’s future in doubt just a month after he became director-general and leaves him with questions to answer about the affair when he faces MPs tomorrow. Greg Dyke, the former director-general, said yesterday that if a senior executive had told the Newsnight team to call off their investigation “I don’t think that person can survive”.
John Simpson, the BBC’s world affairs editor, described the scandal as “the worst crisis” at the corporation for at least 50 years and suggested the broadcaster was risking losing the trust of licence-fee payers because of its handling of the affair. Panorama will also reveal that:
The Newsnight team was investigating the extent of Savile’s paedophilia, rather than the reasons police failed to prosecute him in 2007, as had previously been claimed;
Mr Rippon told his reporters to “stop working on the story” despite the team having spoken to five women who claimed they were abused by Savile;
Meirion Jones, the Newsnight producer and one of the key journalists in its Savile investigation, warned Mr Rippon of “substantial damage to the BBC’s reputation” if he pulled the film;
Savile had indicated in the 1970s to Bob Langley, a former Nationwide reporter, that he had just had sex with underage girls in his caravan, but Mr Langley failed to report it because he thought no one would believe him.
When news broke in February that the BBC had pulled the Newsnight film, the corporation insisted that the decision had been made for “editorial reasons” by Mr Rippon without any influence from above.
But Panorama will broadcast evidence which suggests the Newsnight investigation was dropped because it would have clashed with tribute programmes broadcast last December.
One source told The Daily Telegraph: “It will be categorically clear that this was not killed on journalistic grounds. The Newsnight team had the whole story all ready to run and it was then killed for whatever reason, but not editorial grounds.”...
It kind of confirms these two were put in post specifically for this claimed "worst crisis” to hit the BBC for at least 50 years. And what was the crisis? To not want to run a hear-say story about Jimmy Savile.
A little bit from wiki about George Entwistle, suggesting it was actually the UK Government that was the source of the story. And in October 2012, that would have been the yellow and blue Coalition under David Cameron and Nick Clegg.
George Edward Entwistle (born 8 July 1962) is a former broadcasting executive, who was Director-General of the BBC during 2012, succeeding Mark Thompson. After a career in magazine journalism, he joined BBC Television in 1989, becoming a producer with a primary focus on factual and political programmes. He rose to become the director of BBC Vision, and became the Director-General of the BBC on 17 September 2012.
Entwistle resigned as Director-General on 10 November 2012, following controversy over a Newsnight report which falsely implicated Lord McAlpine in the North Wales child abuse scandal. His resignation after just 54 days in the role made him the shortest-serving Director-General in the history of the BBC...
...Only a matter of weeks into Entwistle's tenure as Director-General, the BBC became embroiled in the Jimmy Savile sexual abuse scandal. On 23 October 2012, Entwistle faced the Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee over questions the BBC had failed to broadcast a Newsnight investigation into sexual abuse allegations against Savile after the presenter's death in 2011. Entwistle was accused by Lisa O'Carroll of The Guardian of giving a "less than authoritative performance, showing a lack of curiosity about Newsnight's investigation" and "leaving the impression of a director general not entirely in command of his operation."
In a country where men and women are innocent until proven guilty, why is the Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee suggesting the BBC did something wrong in not running a story on hear-say allegations? The time to have done something was when Jimmy Savile was alive...but of course, it makes no odds because Jimmy Savile was never alive.
In short, no. The dead cannot currently be defamed under English law. This is because defamation, whether it is libel or slander, is a personal action which cannot be assigned or brought on someone’s behalf. The exception to this rule is if the person subject to defamation is a minor, in which case a parent or guardian can bring the claim on their behalf. Where the deceased is defamed and a friend or relative is also identified in the statement, or the statement reflects upon their reputation, then there is the potential for that relative or friend to bring a claim for defamation.
Similarly, where a person commences defamation proceedings but passes away before a decision is reached, the action is abated. The reason for this principle is quite simple: defamation is an act or statement that damages a person’s reputation and once you are dead, you are taken to not have a reputation in legal terms which is capable of being damaged.
Interestingly, Jimmy Savile reportedly managed to supress the media from openly commenting on his behaviour using libel threats—that was until he passed away. It is clear that the media no longer fear a libel claim following his death.
An attempt was made to insert a provision in the Defamation Act 2013 allowing libel actions by relatives of the dead, but it was defeated. Perhaps the fact that an attempt has been made to allow such claims signifies an appetite among some for change, but this will undoubtedly be opposed by the media.
See how the common law argument is used to hide the truth. Not like I'm suggesting the author has any idea Jimmy Savile is anything other than what is claimed. But clearly, no cases were brought against Jimmy Savile because it's fiction.
And just to finish off with a possible real crime...
Remember Karin Ward was interviewed "shortly after Jimmy Savile's death in 2011", and I stated it looked like an actor wearing age makeup to make her look older than she actually was. Well it's now 2015...note the name, note the face, note the neck. Did they just pull someone out of the crowd?
Let's get a side-by-side with the original and best Karin Ward.
I like the way they applied a tv-line filter to the Liz MacKean grab, was that to obscure the fact she looks like Jill Dando?
And since I mentioned Jill, you know that odd neck thing...
...well, just to put the cat amongst the pigeons...look at the size of Jill Dando to Nick Ross in this image. Would you not say she looks the bigger entity?
And from the same shoot, the classic woman sitting, man's standing pose; to hide the fact the supposed woman is actually a lot taller than the supposed man.
Maybe a bit off topic but I wonder if the Leveson Inquiry is connected to these Psy ops, or vice versa. Lots of the players and actors @rachel has highlighted all converge. The McCann's, Jill Dando, Crimewatch, David Cameron, Matt Hancock, Milly Dowler. Also a connection to the Daniel Morgan murder that is a real web of deceit.
