I know some in After Hours can't resist the chance to trot out the same tired 'jokes'; but why not actually listen to what he's saying?
Nothing he says in this video is remotely outlandish.

He believes that lizard aliens are trying to take over the world.

Here's to all the man united fans who are listening to the words of a deluded French man being repeated by a deluded Irish man.

I have a few Man united tops signed by Cantona. €20 a pop. PM me for details.
No delivery charge. Sizes range from Small to XXXXL bullcrap

I really do have these in my possession. Honestly. More crap. If you believe this, then you must also believe that lizard aliens are here to take over the world. Stop listening to the rantings of attention seeking whores ffs.

Ah Terry I thought you wouldn't be one to believe gossip.

To clarify occasional disinformation in the main stream media -- I do NOT have an opinion on shape shifting reptilians, lizard people nor aliens, nor have I ever mentioned these subjects publicly.... Jim Corr http://www.jimcorr.com/

Nothing short of a blatant lie.

I've been following Jim Corr and what he has to say for about the last year , and I've yet to hear anything from him that would be in the realm of space aliens or shape shifting reptilians.
So can anyone point me in the direction of some of his so called more 'outlandish' beliefs ??
Thanks.

Genuine article.

Yo... I was the 1915th viewer of that vid'.

The only thing crazy about Jim Corr is that he is bothering about the Irish people at all. Most in his financial position would be supping champagne on a yacht somewhere far away from Ireland. Similar to what Bertie is doing right now.

His hearts in the right place, but we all know the Irish won't rebel. They'll concentrate all their energy mocking those that do. Thats always been the Irish way whether we like it or not. Remember, we're not Greece, we're Ireland. We're used to taking it up the rear, first by the catholic church (literally) and now by the fat cat corporates who have bought the country and sent the bill to the citizens.

True, I always found the way he gives a shít quite endearing, he provokes thought and we need people like that to tell us everything mightn't be as rosy as it seems, even just to make us stop and think for a minute

I'm sure he'll be roundly criticised for the video. It's funny, he's saying much the same as what Eric Cantona said recently re banks and yet Cantona was mostly praised for what he said.

Corr may be very much 'out there' but at least he has courage in his convictions and is willing to put his own name on the line to stand by what he believes in.. however wrong he is.

at least someone here has a bit of intelligence in their comment = URL.

what corr is saying here has nothing to do with aliens or whatever the hell you people are talking about in your childish comments' what corr is saying makes a hell of alot of sense if you researched how banking works which obviously some of you here would not have a clue. as far as i'm concerned what corr says here in his statement is more true than you can imagine. wake up fools or you will all be living as a constant slave to the banks for the remainder of your lives.

Do you know what I would do if the banks tried to make a slave of me? I would runaway, I would runaway, yeah, yeah. I would runaway (runaway), I would runaway with you.

zenno · 24-11-2010 03:06AM

well then just go back to watching the idiotbox day in and day out' that will teach you nothing of importance or value in life or the concept of how the real world is run. just like "RTE NEWS" cencoring important information from the public. it is the fault of the people engaged in trivial junk on tv that their brain is so full of adverts and lies that they can't see whats really happening out there because of the pollution of crap their brain has been blasted with constantly. it will be your own downfall thats a fact.

Ya Know Something Lads

this may be one of the Truest Quotes I ever Read regards Ireland

"You Get the Government You DESERVE"

Here is someone Who genuinley Cares about the nation trying his best to show people the Truth, and what do we get
Mockery and derision and that typically Irish Attitude of Belittleing anything thats outside your Comfort Zone
You are a Nation of sheeple and Ye're about to get Fleeced

I have been thinking long and hard about Going home in the next few weeks to try and Stop the Country going totally down the drain, but then I read the comments here and think to myself

well if the people living in Ireland couldnt be arsed saving themselves why should we bother?

What were your plans to save Ireland for interests sake?
Not asking sarcastically ,just wondering what you feel you could do that you'd leave your now home for.

Don't think we aren't interested in saving ourselves,we very much are! The loudest voices you hear these days are not necessarily representative of the majority. The majority accept there are cuts to made and pain to come and are stoically going about getting on with keeping the country ticking over as best they can right now.

AIR-AUSSIE · 24-11-2010 04:02AM

A lot of what Jim Corr says is in this movie, well the last hour or so of it.

Zeitgeist (2007)

It is split into three parts I think - religion, Government & Banking System. I don't necessarily believe all or any of this I just think people need to hear both sides of the argument before being able to judge.

Rebellion costs money we don't have in terms of policing as well as loss of productivity which equates to loss of money. It'll also damage our reputation and we'll be further hammered by the markets. Look at Greece...what did rebelling do for them? Digging ourselves deeper into a hole will not get us out of it.

Jim Corr.
The only famous person that the Scientoligists thought was just too weird to join.

mikom · 24-11-2010 04:32AM

What Jim is trying to say is Ireland is the new Sonny.

"Now the guy's got Paulie as a partner.
Any problems, he goes to Paulie.
Trouble with the bill? He can go to Paulie. Trouble with the cops, deliveries, Tommy, he can call Paulie.
But now the guy's gotta come up with Paulie's money every week, no matter what.
Business bad? Fuck you, pay me. Oh, you had a fire? Fuck you, pay me. Place got hit by lightning, huh? Fuck you, pay me"

Remember when Cowen said the corparate tax rate would not change.
Well he and his Eu partners may just have found a way around it.
God help us all .......

IRELAND’S EU PARTNERS plan to end the stand-off with Dublin on corporate tax by ensuring that any IMF-backed rescue plan imposes a levy on all banks operating out of the country.

With acute pressure on Ireland’s public finances and political pressure from Europe, a source said it would be logical for Dublin to follow the example of special bank levies on banks in other member states.

The Irish bank levy proposal would offer the Government a chance to save face by leaving corporate tax untouched, while still meeting the demand of EU partners that the overall rescue package sees Ireland increase its corporate tax take.

We don't want your propaganda here.

Jim Corr believes in the new world order conspiracy, that rich Jewish bankers rule the world.

So did the Nazis

I would be very careful about trusting such a person.

Em OK. :rolleyes:

I only offered a look at the video to show the angle Jim Corr was coming from. I did not say I believe it or that others should.

I never said I trusted Jim Corr. I had heard of these conspiracies before Jim Corr had come out publicly with them. I tend to try and find both sides of a story and make my own mind up perhaps you should do the same. I had never implied every or any word Jim Corr or Zeigeist says is the truth. Just if anyone wanted to do background research.

In spite of pressure on Ireland to increase its corporate tax rate, sources who listened to an EU finance ministers’ conference call last Sunday night said no country pressed to include an increase in the rate as a condition for European rescue aid.

That's the important part, most of the rest is just political opinions.

A bank levy isn't necessarily a bad thing. Spain had something similar and we didn't, hence Spain having a banking fund to draw down during bad times and our banks haven't and Spain's banks doing relatively ok in this mess.

If it's an EU wide measure companies will not be able to move to another EU country to avoid it.

CCCP · 24-11-2010 06:43AM

These conspiracies have been around for a long time,

In its modern format it's Ever since a French Satirist Maurice Joly in 1864 published a pamphlet entitled "Dialogues in Hell Between Machiavelli and Montesquieu" depicting the Jesuits as a secret sect bent on ruling the world, along with the freemasons etc.

The Russians got they're hands on it and replaced every instance of the word Jesuit with the word Jew. they named it the protocols of the elders of Zion and published the text in a new dossier claiming it was a leaked document from a secret Jewish sect.

One of the features of this fictional document were the words "new world order"

It was published by Tsarists in an effort to convince the Russian people that the Bolsheviks were pure evil (many Bolsheviks were Jewish) and stem the growing tide of communism.

This Fictional document went on to inspire Hitler and helped form the Nazi party's views.
It later went on to inspire conspiracy theorists such as David Icke and also, the Zeitgeist movement.

Jim Corr has being spouting this crap for years , without realizing its portions of the same rhetoric used by the nazis.

Yes the Irish banking elite screwed the country up, yes we have crooks in Government.
No that doesnt mean its time to believe in the NWO conspiracies we have enough REAL problems to deal with.

You see history can tell you the truth, always go to the source of an idea!

Jim Corr on the current crisis! urges peaceful revolt.
