Untouchable Jimmy Savile

By Shaun Attwood

A Deeper Dive Than the BBC’s The Reckoning and Netflix’s Jimmy Savile: A British Horror Story.

Who was Jimmy Savile? More than anything he was a list of contradictions. He was a practising Catholic who raped young boys and girls and had sex with corpses. He was a God-fearing believer who participated in satanic rituals. He was an unprecedentedly generous charity fundraiser who was too tight to buy his own meals. He was a friend of princes and dukes who ate bacon sandwiches at his local greasy spoon. He was a peace activist who tied up troublemakers in his nightclubs and had them brutally beaten. He was a fairy godfather who hated children.

Through his relationships with the Royal Family, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and Pope John Paul, who gave him a Papal Knighthood, Savile built a powerbase that insulated him from prosecution. Raised to the heights of fame by the BBC, this evil genius preyed on the young and vulnerable for over five decades.

The Untouchable Jimmy Savile book series demolishes the mainstream media narratives portrayed in Netflix’s Jimmy Savile: A British Horror Story and the BBC’s The Reckoning to show that Savile’s behaviour was enabled by the most powerful members of the establishment for whom he was a fixer and a procurer.

Un-Making a Murderer

By Shaun Attwood

Un-Making a Murderer: The Framing of Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey

Innocent people do go to jail. Sometimes mistakes are made. But even more terrifying is when the authorities conspire to frame them. That’s what happened to Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey, who were convicted of murder and are serving life sentences.
Un-Making a Murderer is an explosive book which uncovers the illegal, devious and covert tactics used by Wisconsin officials, including:

– Concealing Other Suspects
– Paying Expert Witnesses to Lie
– Planting Evidence
– Jury Tampering

The art of framing innocent people has been in practice for centuries and will continue until the perpetrators are held accountable. Turning conventional assumptions and beliefs in the justice system upside down, Un-Making a Murderer takes you on that journey.
The profits from this book are going to Steven and Brendan and to donate free books to schools and prisons. In the last two years, Shaun Attwood has donated 15,000 books.

By Shaun Attwood

“Finally, the definitive book about Escobar, original and up-to-date”
– UNILAD, Joseph Loftus

How Pablo’s craving for a teen volleyball player caused his brother-in-law’s death.
How half of the Medellín Cartel’s big bosses fell.
The fate of the survivors of the Palace of Justice attack.
The state’s role in the death of the popular presidential candidate Galán.

Who Killed Epstein? Prince Andrew or Bill Clinton (War On Drugs Book 5)

By Shaun Attwood

Virginia Giuffre alleged that Epstein ordered her to have sex with Prince Andrew three times, including in an orgy on the paedophile island which included underage European girls. On the Lolita Express, Bill Clinton was photographed with Epstein’s “sex slaves.” After Epstein was suicided, both men denied any knowledge of his crimes.

As well as committing abhorrent acts of paedophilia for decades, Epstein had been managing a child-sex blackmail operation that had ensnared some of the world’s most powerful people, ranging from royalty to ex-presidents. Survivors have claimed that Epstein filmed some of his guests raping minors.

Whoever ordered the hit on the super-predator had a lot to lose.
This book examines the roles of Epstein and his accomplices in the honey-trap operation and the likelihood of a royal prince or an ex-president being co-conspirators in his assassination.

Elite Predators

By Shaun Attwood

From Jimmy Savile and Lord Mountbatten to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell (War On Drugs Book 6).

In 1966, Lord Mountbatten granted Jimmy Saville access to the highest levels of the royal family. What did they have in common? They used their prestige to abuse vulnerable minors, while relying on their power and establishment connections to remain untouchable.
In 2022, Ghislaine Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison after she had procured teenage girls for Jeffrey Epstein and his predator pals. Their connections included the most powerful people in the world, ranging from royal family members such as Prince Andrew to former presidents including Bill Clinton.

While the mainstream media protects the innermost circles of the establishment, this book reveals the harrowing truth of elite child molesters and the calculated methods they employ to conceal their horrific activities, which often span decades.
