Was Jim Right?

Spacedog · 01-03-2012 1:23am #1

Jim Corr in Nov 2010 was written off as a batshit insane conspiracy theorist.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ing8xH3Qj-k

Just over a year on, with the European fiscal treaty up in a forthcoming referendum, are Jim's views as outlandish today?

Mod : Move to either Conspiracy Theories or Politics forum depending on the result of the poll.

Yes, yes they are.

LH Pathe · 01-03-2012 1:30am

ah. Jim..

a case of far gone, but not far wrong.

Gee Bag · 01-03-2012 1:30am

I see Jim has a tricolour in the background, could be a false flag operation.

Even if he did get something half-right it would be for all the wrong reasons. Poor lad. All those years of being the odd one out has taken a toll. But no doubt his career as a mediocre pop-star has qualified him to see things that most of the world's top political scientists, economists, journalists etc can't see.

I haven't watched the video however you cannot retrospectively reanalyse the situation using information that was not available when the claim was made.

For example: If I say beyond any doubt that an asteroid will destroy Kerry with no evidence to believe that it will and an asteroid actually does come and destroy Kerry I'm still an idiot for saying it will.

AngryBollix · 01-03-2012 11:34am

I dont see much wrong with what he said here

Sea Sharp · 01-03-2012 11:37am

He paints a picture of loads of James Bonds type villans sitting in a room somewhere deviously plotting to enslave the human race.
in actual fact it's just a load of rich assholes that want more money than they already have.

Is there a difference?

I'd say Jim had a field day at his sister's wedding. All the women wearing their lovely hats, Jim wearing his tinfoil one in case the Stonemasons read his mind. He's a crackpot, good for a laugh and the odd **** pop song but nothing else.

Yes, the first perspective is a load of clap-trap that reduces his credibility to zero.

No of course not.

I think Jim Corr needs his own film series like James Bond where he battles millionaires and people he thinks are taking over the world. Could just reuse and recycle Corrs album and song titles for the films. Jim Corr: In Blue where he battles arch nemesis Roman Abramvovich, Jim Corr: Forgiven not Forgotten where he grapples with chief mentaller Saadi Gadaafi, and Jim Corr: Borrowed Heaven/Only When You Sleep where he battles the evil Pope. He has so many ideal villains.

44leto · 01-03-2012 12:43pm

No Jim was not right, Jim by his psychological condition will never be right. Ask yourself why would someone wish to have a European empire, its not like the colonial days when you could move into a place and shoot some locals then exploit that places resources. The world has changed and in Europe democracy is to powerful and so is the flow of information.

Conspiracy theory is nice and comforting, its a belief that everything is in control by some powerful people that nothing happens with-out their behest. But there are random unforeseen events and that will surprise everyone but the conspiracy nuts will explain these away with some masterplan bizarre explanation.

stevenmu · 01-03-2012 12:46pm

What many people don't seem to realise is that this "new treaty" is mostly just stuff that we already agreed to years ago. The "new treaty" is mainly just saying "er, we'll stick to the rules this time, honest".

He could be Irelands Steven Seagal.

Spacedog · 01-03-2012 3:00pm

He was right about the part about selling off state assets, coitle for example. the money is debt on google video was also very prolific and explains the origins of banking, currency and smashes the concept that currency is backed up by gold, rather that it is backed by perpetually increasing debt.

Pretty much on the nose. The fact that this stuff is considered some mad conspiracy theory is a huge success for those in power.

Ah not wishing to be too pedantic here but that makes no sense.
The quotation is
Neither a borrower nor a lender be;
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.William Shakespeare "Hamlet", Act 1 scene 3
Although I'm sure your grannys sentiments were the same!

Spacedog · 01-03-2012 5:21pm

Oh, fcuk off Jim ye moron.

If you actually bothered to watch the clip, you might realise that your comments are actually quite moronic. Because unfortunately for you, there was no mention of anyone eating babies at all. He did make some interesting points though...

Erosion of national sovereignty.
Top down crisis.
Our government is not acting in the best interest of the Irish people.
The level of apathy and abdication amongst the Irish people is shocking.
Some are more concerned about what is happening on Coronation street, rather than their own country.
Politicians in Ireland have contributed greatly to the problem.

I know nothing of his previous commentary or what crazy views he may have expressed in the past. But I see nothing wrong with the points I highlighted above, indeed they are all quite valid. I much prefer an individual who at least has the ability for some self-thinking analysis, regardless of how outlandish their opinion may seem. Rather than the usual mindless, pathetic, herd following muppets who lack the ability to formulate any individual thought process whatsoever. Other than the usual, bitchy, dumb fúck sniping.

RichieC · 01-03-2012 5:55pm

It could be that Jim Corr is part of the conspiracy, like Ike, they mix truthful conspiracies in with outrageous ones like lizard people or contrails effectively turning what is true into something people easily laugh off as bull****. Alex Jones too, his commentary on the rising police state in America is valid, but then he goes on to talk about fluoride mind control and estregen in bottled water packaging designed to turn the population gay.

It works! think about the 9/11 "truthers" it would have been a valid line of questioning to ask "considering Osama bin ladens well documented ties to the CIA, could there have been a conspiracy to allow the attacks to happen thus giving the united states the excuse to start a global unending war akin to the war on drugs" - but instead of asking that question a whole slew of theorys popped up from everywhere, bombs in the buildings, no planes theory, remote control planes with dissapeared civvies" - effectively plopping a poo into the punch bowl.

Psyops 101...

People can set up their own local currencies if they like afaia. Some people are living without using money or using it as little as possible.

If central banking and fiat money really really pisses people off then barter, don't get into debt, hoard gold, silver, copper whatever.

Claire Byrne is looking well today.

The eating babies comment was tongue in cheek. (In fairness, was there really a need for me to have to clarify that???)

Sitting around watching YouTube videos of nutters trying to twist facts to justify their delusions of persecution is not my idea of education or being open minded.

I watched Jim Corr conspiracy theory videos before and the individual thought process that I formulated is that he's not credible and he's not worth listening to because he's twisting facts and taking things out of context in order to justify the bullsh1tty 'the NWO is out to get us' agenda.

Jim has believed every conspiracy theory there is ,
Honestly he believes new airport scanners are ways for the illuminati to see your childrens underwear, check out his website.
He makes good money with these theories . He probably doesnt believe them at all just happy picking up the check for advertising so he can spend it on pot.The **** he said then isnt any more or less what we all knew was going to happen , it still doesnt prove there is an illuminati .

This isnt workin Jim. You need to grow your hair like John Lennon and lie in bed all day...that'll show'em lad and get their attention.

I think its about time I came clean. Me and Jim Corr drink together, When he passes out I wisper mad **** in his ear and then fill in his diary entries for him. It started out as a bit of a joke but kinda like a spiderweb or a snowball the lie just grew and grew.
Im sorry Jim , Jim morrison just came up with the Lizard king quote when he was high , he wasnt really the leader of the alien sect planning on enslaving the world. Like honestly think of it , they have the technology for travelling huge distances of space , Im sure they could zap us all from the moon . Why would they need to do it in secret.
