Jim Corr: See what happens when you live life in the shadow
Posted by Gramsci on 30 September 2009 - 11:02am.
It appears that poor Jim has finally gone over the edge
"This becomes evident when one studies 9/11. Indeed that event is the nexus doorway into the bigger picture, being the push towards global governance, the formation of an elite run totalitarian One World Government with the subjugated masses underneath."
Any other examples of pop stars tipping over into Icke-like strangeness?

Bonio thinking he can save the world?
Robbie and the little green men?
He makes
a fair point, in my opinion, and I dearly hope that Ireland votes no, but I'm fully prepared to be disappointed. Keep voting until you vote the way we want you to...
Ditto
Rant over.
fact is lads...
the way the economy is here, the notion of giving *more* power to Brussels seems like a good idea; Eurocrats surely can't be any more useless than the clueless fuckers we have in Dublin.
(apologies for the effing...)
I respect your opinion Ivan
and having an Irish perspective on this myself, and being dual Irish/British nationality and cultural perspective etc, I whole heartedly disagree. We are, potentially, completely screwed with no way back on this one. I am not being political on an emotional , nationalistic and thus puerile reactionary level, but an historical one with one important view of the future. 800 yers of yoke, and we have a brief spell of freedom, corrupt and questionable, granted. This is very dangerous indeed from a long term perspective, and no wonder so many others in the EU, denied a referendum are hoping that this will not be ratified.
fair point, jams...
(I can call you jams, can't i?). I suppose i'm just a mite weary of the whole thing. I resent a lot of the influence of certain eejits from the UKIP getting involved in our referendum and can't help but be confused by wondering if it's possible that my enemy's enemy can actually be a tw*t as well. I'm minded of - i think - Ian Hislops comment when Jeffrey Archer was suing some newspaper or other and he said that he wished that BOTH of them could lose!
The feeling of being bullied by 'The European Establishment' into voting yes doesn't sit well with me. Neither does the fact that the previous No vote was completely ignored by, um, everybody. One can't help but fear that a 'no' vote could really send us over into the economic abyss. Like we need that.
Anyway - enough seriousness - what's your favourite Duran Duran song? I love Hungry Like The Wolf...
Nice One.
I never did the Duran thing, it was Julian Cope and chums and still is . I'm off to play Who Know's What Tommorow May Bring by Traffic. Have a lovely day.
( It's not really jamso-anything ).
i think it's just the way he says it...
what he means is that with every terrible incident, where innocent people get killed by mass murderers in the name of some cause... governments all over the world quietly increase their abilities to monitor our movements and abuse the human rights of "suspects" with gerrymandering political backing.
sometimes, in the case of the ID card, it eventually falls flat on it's ass, and becomes an embarrassment(due in some point to the fact that the government was being "advised" on this by the company who make them).
you want a real loon with an over exagerated opinion complex.
one word.
sting.
or bono.
actually that's two words...
ermmm.
Exactly.
Why does every quesioning of global policy etc incite totally inadequate references to the David Icke brigade. I for one am far more interested in John Pilger's views on Globalisation, Gore Vidal's concerns over the Bush Administration's exact role in 9/11, Dambisa Moyo's take on Africa's calamitous situation etc. than the ego driven uninformed platitudes of rock stars, backed up by media and corporate based agendas.
spot on
and also john pilger all the way.
on any subject.
I think George Carlin
has a good stab at it...
I agree
but Jim is more in the 'Illuminati' Dan Brown territory than John Pilger.
Presumably
Your namesake would be appalled?
Genius.
Thanks for that. It's amazing how you can be fuming and laughing at the same time. Just as appropriate to Blighty as the US. The Spirit Of Bill Hicks is still around.
You know you've gone mad when...
...you start looking at the Jim Corr website.
Hicks would approve of that video.
no doubt.
that could apply to these shores every bit as much....
bill hicks and gil scott-heron, come back - we need you now more than ever...
"the elite republican guard"
I think
Gil Scott Heron is coming back - or did I imagine it?
Jim Corr: Our Charlie Sheen
The Co Louth-born, Too Young hitmaker is deeply nuts in a Charlie Sheen US daytime radio phone-in way. He's obsessed with new world order and his mishmash of reactionary gobbledegook should be an utter embarrassment. In fact, there should an avatar in the corner of his website spinning a finger round one temple in the International sign of the fruit loop.
Even so, the more cerebrally 'out there'
can still have a valid point amongst their more extreme opinions. As I said earlier, many eminently sane thinkers have sympathetic and related opinions. Raving in deserts is the mad cousin of serious thought and analysis, without embarassment. So it should always be.
If there is a New World Order...
...run by a cabal of shape-shifting lizard illuminati, then why are they making such an arse of it all???
Well hello there Father..
..what with the money, the drugs and hanging out with Bono, I don't have much time for the old pop music.
In the spirit of what Jams and Ivan were saying...
...about Ireland (being hopelessly stuffed either way - a corruption-sozzled free obscurity or under the yoke of bloated beaurocratic Euro-mediocrity), can I just say that the government of Northern Ireland is a scandal, an outrage and a disgrace in every way, and it's still you guys in GB who are subsidising it?
I don't read local newspapers usually - I like to pretend to myself that I don't live here - but I leafed through one tonight and it seems that for a region with the population of Greater Manchester we have no less than 104 MLAs (regional MPs), 18 of whom are also coining in fat salaries for spouting their intransigent po-faced bile as MPs at Westminster, who are between them claiming £8 million p/a in expenses and £5 million p/a in salaries - for the privilege of, most of the time, turning up and ranting at each other when they even bother to turn up at all. There may be no headline-grabbing duck ponds or moats but boy are these guys on the gravy train. And, alas, the way politics boils down to entrenched sectarianism here most of the b*****ds are on that gravy train for the best part of their lives.
It's a sick joke. However crazed Jim Corr is I'd vote for him a thousand times over compared to anyone in the DUP, UUP, PUP, XYZ, Sinn Fein, SDLP, Alliance or any of the other godforsaken shower of no-hoper dinosaur flat-earth-society antediluvian scumbags we have here.
But apart from that, I've no strong feelings either way...
