'''Billy Corgan''' (born 1967) is the long time lead singer and songwriter for the Smashing Pumpkins. While their popularity has waned in recent years, they were a very influential group during the 1990s. Always one to lead a varied and interesting life, Corgan has started a number of new projects after disappointment in [[Barack Obama|Obama]] and the political process in general.<ref>[http://piersmorgan.blogs.cnn.com/2012/06/20/billy-corgan-on-barack-obama-he-ran-on-a-moral-compass-agenda-but-what-happened/ Billy Corgan on Barack Obama on Piers Morgan]</ref>

Corgan claimed America has lost its "moral compass" and he wants to take America back to what he used to know<ref>[http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/smashing-pumpkins-billy-corgan-piers-morgan-america-341194 Hollywood reporter on the interview]</ref> by posting writings by [[Lyndon LaRouche]] on the Smashing Pumpkins Forums in 2009. No pressure there for Obama to change the United States fundamentally in less than a year to ''Corgan's'' liking. This brought Corgan to [[Alex Jones]]'s attention and stardom in the [[conspiracy theorist]] world.<ref>[http://www.mediaite.com/online/smashing-pumpkins-billy-corgan-swine-flu-part-of-obama-conspiracy Meditate.com Corgan Swine Flu is part of the Obama Conspiracy]</ref><ref>[http://uproxx.com/webculture/billy-corgan-social-justice-alex-jones/ Billy Corgan Social Justice Alex Jones]</ref> He has had frequent conversations with Alex Jones about [[Social Justice Warrior]]s who he [[Strawman|claims]] are "[[Maoist]]s, [[cult]] members and the [[Ku Klux Klan]] members",<ref>A combination that has never existed in reality</ref> and who are a threat to [[free speech]], needing to be "fixed with reality".<ref>[http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/billy-corgan-compares-social-justice-warriors-to-cults-maoists-kkk-20160419 Billy Corgan Compares 'Social Justice Warriors' to Cultists/Maoists/KKK: Musician slams outspoken progressives over free speech, says some are "making up stories about ghosts that don't exist" in interview with Alex Jones] By Jon Blistein (April 19, 2016) ''Rolling Stone''.</ref> Corgan then states in the same interview that he [[Shut up and listen|really doesn't want to be criticized because he didn't take his medications, or is tired, or whatever so critics ''of him'' should simply not speak]]. [[Hypocrisy|While he continues to criticize anyone he pleases]].

Corgan had a career switch several years after posting writings from [[Lyndon LaRouche]] in order to start an indie pro-wrestling corporation called Resistance Pro Wrestling in 2011.<ref>[http://www.stereogum.com/1055442/billy-corgan-launching-pro-wrestling-reality-show/news/ Stereogun &mdash; Corgan Launching Pro Wrestling]</ref> Later he became their executive producer of TNA Wrestling (later renamed Impact Wrestling) in 2015, before departing, and now currently owns whatever is left of the National Wrestling Alliance. He also started writing a spiritual memoir called ''God is Everywhere from Here to There'',<ref>[http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/billy-corgan-writing-spiritual-memoir-about-smashing-pumpkins-20110510 Billy Corgan to Write "God is Everywhere from Here to There".]</ref> and he started an interfaith website Everything From Here to There to speak his [[Roman Catholic Church|Catholic]] [[Buddhism|Buddhist]] views.

Corgan has also come out in favor of [[Donald Trump]]. Not because he agrees with any of his positions but because [[Chaos theory|he wants to make it entertaining and interesting]].<ref>[http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/billy-corgan-on-donald-trump-hes-running-chaos-theory-20150904 Corgan Supports Donald Trump for Chaos Theory]</ref> Which was the course of action for many [[Brexit]] voters till they realized it accidentally actually passed. In 2018, he called himself a "[[free-market]] [[libertarian]] [[capitalist]]".

Corgan has also revealed that he believes in [[chemtrails]] and is a [[global warming]] denialist.<ref>http://twitter.com/Billy/status/24696704395</ref><ref>http://twitter.com/Billy/status/26350899602</ref>
