Before 2014, Corr's website was full of anti-fluoride hysteria, 7/7 denialism, links to Mercola articles, and repetition of false flag operation accusations from the likes of Alex Jones and Paul Joseph Watson. There are so many other examples of crackpottery that it could almost be a touchstone for Scopie's law.Jim Corr's website as captured August 19, 2011. Someone, possibly the band's manager or one of Corr's sisters, seems to have talked him into toning down the website. As of summer 2019, he has continued to be a vortex of crank magnetism on Twitter.

Jim Saleam

Dr. Jim Saleam (born 1955) is a Lebanese-AustralianOn the march by John Safran (7 June 2014 — 3:00am) The Sydney Morning Herald. "He denies it, of course, but people who knew Jim's parents and grandparents from his old hometown of Maryborough, Queensland, say this: Jim's from a Lebanese immigrant family." right wing activist and leader of the far right Australia First Party.
Saleam cofounded the National Action group in the 1980s after being a member of the short-lived Australian National Socialist Party in the 1970s. National Action's existence was also short lived due to many acts of violence by its members, including a shotgun attack organised by Saleam on African National Congress representative Eddie Funde in 1989. Saleam was convicted of his role and served a prison sentence for his crime, despite pleading not guilty.https://www.greenleft.org.au/node/14811 Saleam has also maintained his innocence for the last two and a half decades since committing the offence.
Upon his release from jail, Saleam earned a Ph.D. at Sydney University; his doctoral thesis being on the growth of Australia's populist far right.
Saleam joined the Patriotic Youth League in the 1990s and acted as a mentor to up-and-coming right wing activists. He joined the Australia First Party in 
2002 and acted as secretary, before establishing a separate New South Wales branch of the organisation in 2007, which he has continued to lead.
Saleam is highly critical of multiculturalism and despite being of Lebanese descent, he believes that non-white immigration to Australia must be halted to prevent racial genocide. To no one's surprise, he also adheres to the idea that anti-racism is a code for anti-white.
Despite denying ever being a Neo-Nazi, images have emerged of Saleam in his youth wearing Nazi attire in public, and recently, footage emerged of him attending a Neo-Nazi meeting where he saluted an image of Colonel Gadaffi, which earned the annoyance of fellow Australian right wing loon Nick Folkeshttp://www.nick-folkes.com/2015/11/14/nazi-bunker-exposed-dr-jim-saleam-salutes-colonel-gaddafi/. Folkes, an ardent Zionist, has argued that Saleam is not a real patriot because of his Nazi links, and has even gone to the extent of accusing Saleam of supporting anarchist groups he so dearly claims to oppose. 
Saleam also strongly opposes Islam and is a follower of the Reclaim Australia and United Patriots Front (UPF) movements, attending rallies of theirs in 2015. In early 2015, Saleam was interviewed by then UPF member and fellow Neo-Nazi Neil Erikson on how the Australian right can overcome Islam and the left, whom both see as conspiring together to destroy the Australian state.http://www.kieransreview.com/2015/06/28/jim-saleam-and-the-united-patriots-front/

Jim Webb

Jim Webb is an American politician, previously Republican and since 2006 a Democrat, serving from 2007 to 2013 as senator for the state of Virginia.
Do not fuck with Jim Webb. This guy makes Chuck Norris look like a wimp. Seriously. This is the guy who brought a loaded gun with him to the United States Senate, and did not think a damn thing of it.Webb Aide Tried To Take Gun Into Senate Building, Capitol Police Say, Washington Post
==Senator==
Jim Webb was the senior Senator from Virginia, a seat he won in 2006 from George "Macaca" Allen, and refused to run for re-election in 2012, being succeeded by former Governor Tim Kaine. He is a former Republican who was so sickened by the Iraq War, among other things, that he became a Democrat and ran for the Senate. His major previous political experience was as Secretary of the Navy under Ronald Reagan. On July 2, 2015, he announced his presidential campaign on the Democratic Party ticket.Haberman, Maggie. Jim Webb Announces Democratic Bid for Presidency. The New York Times. 2 July 2015. Retrieved 29 July 2015. Unfortunately for the one guy with a "Webb 2016" shirt, he quickly dropped out. He participated in one debate, where he spent most of his speaking time complaining that he didn't have enough time to speak. Thanks, Jim. Also, he kicked a lot of ass in Vietnam.
==Author==
Webb is also an author, mostly of novels about the Vietnam War, and one non-fiction book about the history of Scots-Irish immigrants to America. Many have said that his books tend to glorify violence for violence's sake. He is also known for having said some really sexist things in the past, though he has apologised for them and definitely kept any such opinions to himself recently.
He is best known for a short story the movie Rules of Engagement is based on, in which the worst fears of the war on terror waere validated, before the war actually took place.
==Secretary of Defense?==
Donald Trump considered making him Secretary of Defense, though he ultimately picked Jim Mattis instead and denied any reports he considered Webb at all.White House Mulls Jim Webb, Ex-Democratic Senator, as Next Defense Secretary https://www.politico.com/story/2019/01/04/trump-jim-webb-defense-secretary-1082332 
==Opinion on drugs==
Webb should get a gold star for rationality in one field: drug sentencing. He held hearings (that almost no one else attended) on the problems of mandatory minimum sentences, and began to push his colleagues to make changes to the drug laws so that they better fit with empirical reality. Nothing came of this, but he is still trying.

Jo Swinson

[[File:Jo Swinson.jpg|thumb|right|165px|Support the working class[?] No[,] right-wing policies[!]Twitter.]]
Joanne Kate Swinson , better known as Jo Swinson, is a British politician. She is the former leader of the Liberal Democrats, taking over from Vince Cable in 2019, and resigning five months later, still in 2019. She led the Lib Dems to campaign hard against Brexit, although it's unclear exactly what they were campaigning for, seemingly taking the strategy of every theoretical position at the same time — whether it was ignoring the 2016 Brexit referendum and simply revoking Article 50, whether it was holding a second referendum, or whether it was vocally supporting literally any Boris Johnson deal so long as he pinky swore to hold a second referendum.Twitter. Alt link /w video broken But a Jeremy Corbyn interrim government, the only legitimate way a second referendum could have actually been held,"There is only one route out of the Brexit maze and Jeremy Corbyn must lead the way", Will Hutton, The Guardian, 6 October 2019"For those who want to stop no deal, Jeremy Corbyn is the only hope", Gary Younge, 4 October 2019, was out of the question."Jo Swinson says Corbyn cannot become temporary PM", YouTube, 15 August 2019
As a result of a self-contradictory Brexit stance, being yet another leader from the Con-Lib coalition, and even Remain voters hating her the more they saw of her,"Has familiarity of Jo Swinson bred contempt?", YouGov, November 20 2019 Swinson, led the Lib Dems to yet another catastrophic election defeat, not only seeing their seat total fall from 21 MPs to 11, but also losing her own seat to the Scottish National Party (SNP), forcing her to resign with immediate effect. This has made her the shortest elected Lib Dem leader in history, only being in power for less than 5 months. Rather than working with the Labour Party to install Corbyn as a temporary Prime Minister, Swinson chose to back the general election that destroyed both Labour and her party, giving Boris Johnson a supermajority of seats, and full power to do whatever kind of Brexit he wanted. In an election where both parties had gone farther to their ideological extremes than ever before in the Lib Dems's history, Swinson led the sole centrist party (that mattered) to lose seats. Some have used polling statistics to say this signifies the death knell for British centrism,"The Center Blows Itself Up: Care and Spite in the ‘Brexit Election’", David Graeber, YouGov/NYT Daily, 13 Janurary 2020. However she was just that bad a leader, not to mention a hypocrite.

Joanne Nova

Joanne "Jo" Nova (real name Joanne Codling) is an Australian writer, speaker, former TV host, anti-science presenter and a professional wingnut.Joanne Nova profile at DeSmog Blog She maintains a blog which regularly regurgitates debunked climate denial myths, making her the poor Aussie's Ian Plimer or Andrew Bolt.Joanne Nova blog rant page The site also has on its header the highly ironic phrase "Tackling tribalist groupthink." She has also written a handbook called "The Skeptic's Handbook," a brief pamphlet that reads like it was copy-pasted from another denialist site without the slightest whiff of actual research and peppered with pretty pictures.The "Skeptic's" Handbook by Jo Nova The handbook concentrates on a few of the greatest hits, including: Satellites and weather balloons showing no warming (they do); the Oregon Petition "debunking" the scientific consensus (it doesn't); carbon dioxide lagging, not leading temperature change (ignoring Milankovitch cycles and feedbacks); the carbon dioxide effect being saturated (it isn't); and bad weather station siting (relying on the self-debunked work of Anthony Watts).Skeptical Science's "Scientific Guide to the Skeptic's Handbook"
In between regurgitating debunked climate myths, she often posts nonsensical fiscal arguments; then breaks into a general bitching session about anything including the denial crowd pleaser, the Gore bash fest.
She downplays the funding she and other denialists receive from the Heartland Institute and the Science and Public Policy Institute.

Joe Barton

"Smokey" Joseph Linus Barton was the Republican Representative from Texas's sixth district and one of the top dogs in the Congressional global warming denial brigade. In his last years of Congress, he joined the Teabaggers' caucus as well.
Barton was elected in 1984 and filled the seat vacated by Phil Gramm. The man is so deep in the pocket of oil interests that he wouldn't come out in the wash and he's been doing his darnedest to unload government cash into the hands of his campaign contributors. Oh, and Barton's a chickenhawk too, of course.Chickenhawk hall of shame
==Energy policy==
Barton, as head of the House Energy and Commerce Committee was one of the chief architects of Dubya's Energy Policy Act of 2005.Joe Barton's Deep Oil Connections Naturally, the bill included a massive giveaway to Texas oil companies and the "Halliburton Loophole," inserted at the request of Darth Cheney, which exempted oil and gas companies using fracking methods from regulatory oversight from the EPA.Halliburton Loophole
==Deepwater Horizon spill==
In the wake of the BP oil spill, Barton made a declaration that was rejected even by BP spokes-clown Tony Hayward:
Barton continued his "apology tour" by walking back the statement and apologizing for his apology. Some journalists noted that Anadarko Petroleum just happened to be one of his major campaign contributors, and that company just happened to be working with BP on the Deepwater Horizon rig at the time of the spill.Hayward Rejects Barton's Apology
==Involvement in Wegman Report==
Barton was responsible for commissioning the Wegman Report, which was an attempt to "challenge" the scientific consensus on global warming. The report was later found to be mostly plagiarized. Edward Wegman, the statistician who produced it, is currently under investigation by his university, George Mason.Plagiarized climate report
==Observations on climate science and policy==
He is known for making numerous astute observations about climate science and environmental policy. Some of his greatest hits:
===On "Adaptation"===
===On wind power===
===On the EPA's decision to regulate CO2 emissions===
===Dialogue with Steven Chu===
Barton engaged in an enlightening dialogue with Secretary of Energy Steven Chu during a 2009 hearing:

Joe Hill

Joe Hill, (born Joel Emmanuel Hägglund) also known as Joseph Hillström , was a Swedish-American trade union activist. He was an avid supporter of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW or "Wobblies"), a group which promotes "One Big Union" for workers and democracy in the workplace. 
He immigrated to the United States in 1902, and was a member of the IWW by 1910. Hill mostly drifted from place to place, often trying to support unions. He also wrote numerous poems and songs, such as "The Preacher and The Slave" (which also coined the term "Pie in the Sky"), "The Girl Question", and "The Tramp". They are collected in the Little Red Songbook.
In 1914, he was accused of the murders of John G. Morrison and his son Arling. The trial was quite controversial. Hill visited a doctor on the night of the murder with a gunshot wound. Hill also owned a red bandanna, which is something the killers used as a disguise. Hill denied these claims, saying he was shot by the husband of a woman he was with. He could not use this as a defense, however, as it would ruin the woman's reputation. Even the star witness shouted out that Hill was not the murderer in open court. Hill was convicted and sentenced to death. It only took the jury a few hours to convict him.
Hill met his fate with a firing squad on November 19, 1915. His last word was "Fire." President Woodrow Wilson, Helen Keller, and people in Sweden were all appalled by this and demanded the decision be overturned.
 
Hill's body was cremated and his ashes sent in hundreds of envelopes to various supporters. (The U.S. Postal Service confiscated one of these letters, declaring it to have "subversive potential." When the envelope was finally recovered in 1988, it was found to contain a photo, captioned "Joe Hill murdered by the capitalist class, Nov. 19, 1915.") The majority of the ashes were cast to the wind in the US, Canada, Sweden, Australia, and Nicaragua. The ashes sent to Sweden were only partly cast to the wind. Some remains were scattered at the unveiling of a monument to IWW coal miners buried in Lafayette, Colorado in 1989. He has been immortalized in various poems and songs, most notably "I Dreamed I Saw Joe Hill Last Night", a poem by Alfred Hayes set to music by Earl Robinson. The 1971 film chronicles his life and death.Joe Hill (Bo Widerberg, 1971) on YouTube.

Joe Newman

Joseph Westley Newman was an inventor, originally from Mississippi, who for years tried to sell a high-voltage motor (powered by a large number of batteries connected in series) as a free energy device. He called it an "electromagnetomic motor", and wrote all about it (along with his rant-heavy alternative physics that "explained" how it worked) in a self-published book.The Energy Machine of Joseph Newman (1986)
While his device was published in the 1980s in such fora as Discover Magazine,The Energy Machine of Joe Newman Abstracted from an article in the May 1987 issue of Discover Magazine Skeptic Tank Newman steadfastly avoided refereed journals. The reason for this is that after a great deal of obfuscation and rigged testing, as well as repeated (and mostly ignored) challenges to debate a Ph.D. physicist on the matter, Newman lost an argument on the Senate floor with then-senator John Glenn (due to his astronaut training, Glenn was likely one of the few in the Senate who understood Newman's claims) and was pwned in a test by the National Bureau of Standards that showed that his device (a type of very high voltage motor, powered by a string of 9V batteries connected in series) could not produce more power than it used.One Man's Tangle With the Patent Office (May 21, 1986) The New York Times.
A history of the whole sordid affair can be found in the book Voodoo Science.Voodoo Science: The Road from Foolishness to Fraud by Bob Park (2001) Oxford University Press. ISBN 0195147103.
