there's a report. possibly the greatest punk legend. still active tearing out stadiums around the world plays a gentleman a very special kaiser report guest i present to you mr john cooper cartographer clark. fantastic my christmas wishes come true i saw you recently doing something i have to have you here to do it bongos trouser on those trials of men in a world. now yes sir mungo's trails as there is who stole bongos trousers and he sang gallant stetson it's a cop my there is holiness improperly dressed like that who stole bongos trousers cause it wasn't bush your bets save the planet without. who stole a bone those trials as uncanny have them back east sun to do some good in a world and that's no way o. acts well politics is itself an off gig with out a scoundrel he'll give you some other stuff if you give him back he's kicked yes

who stole that stetson hat who stole those led the strides and those vegas period elvis shades with the gold mcdonald's sides frowns as shades a chip on stetson county get i'm back east in a deal about third world debts and pub at sea and that he doesn't have to care so much he's all right as it is it's rare to find such selflessness especially in the bay is it was still bungalows trials as they must be sick was it some sinister who was that chick she said to name was boone a day but then she would say that anything and said get those trousers song glasses and i who stole bono's trousers and those million dollar shades was it the cia all the middle european chambermaid whoever stole bungalows trounces wrap around deserves to get their fingers broken and that's the end of that send in the un

troops all systems go cause bone go minus trousers equals i don't wanna know. now that my christmas wish has come true no bongos trousers i heard or read that over tom baker's shop and so on i got this fabulous jacket i did with. all right first thing and asked john cooper clarke what is the inspiration and what were you thinking there on the bongos trousers and i don't think i'm speaking out of school when i say i think that's referring to panto i think shuras yeah yeah well i was about four or five years ago when was it the g eight conference in the valley truvada subway it was an ecological event you know. all the world leaders were to be slipperiness chief of the po that. whoever was president of the united states but they and will leaders with

ecological with it would ecological. we're all me a. true but also a canadian. it easy to forget about canadian so way down there next to mexico but it it it came out the point that it was that was the focal point of anybody that was concerned with the planning right of course bono was the the represent. the dissent from the reco of buying public now what about this idea that bond our bond represents the global disenfranchised i think like any g eight meetings occurring when these big conference occur they have got the world leaders and then there by now there are stand simply to represent well what does he represent exactly what are we ready to represent the disenfranchised rock'n'roll by the public and that's a boy our concern on our behalf the cadi asleep we.

can't even sleep through the likes of bongo but the thing is i was writing something else and highly when i heard on a news flash that somebody had been a nice dress to you don't be asleep that already let the straw stetson wrap around shades it took a look at the dress codes of his consent for is. look a like a roadie still dave even the dalai lama the pope will wear a language so it's. going to change in a lounge suit to give himself a bit of a grab its ass on behalf of those that dissent from blab blab blab. while he's been out there given his five minutes go back to change back into the bone go super hero rock the rules go insane with the usual strip of lead the jeans and rep are absorbed lefties and somebodies page and that was it that was the moment it was

that was that i thought well you know he is trying to go to the world what's that what does he get something even swine and the kids all these pieces that john cooper clarke the you're having an enormous resurgence people are beginning to realize that there is still a master of genius from the punk era still alive and kicking and doing great stuff why now is this punk resurgence happening in oh it looks to me. you've got a rejection of everything that's going on right now including the the g eighty seven g. twenty conference and there's a new spirit out there something about to happen something about to change what do you what are your thoughts is there another kind of social revolution coming well i don't want just to get there it's a really you know it's. things like punk

and so house music and things like that you know that these phenomena these pop phenomena that sweep oh before you know can never be predicted i don't think those same go hand in hand the way that they used to be and back in the days of the music business which of course has taken a bit of a bashing recently. in outside about that for a second because of course in the last few years you've had a tremendous technological revolution with room with and people don't really buy knees anymore and to talk about that you're done a lot of live performances is there a connection there well i was that was always my main squeeze anyway live performances so things that would change that much for me and not rigged but who knew when they learnt how to send a message via a computer it would lead to compulsory pono graffiti in every home of the death of the music business it's what they called a load of old and said it comes to right now they impact on the business there's

a lot of people arguing that it's been a positive thing in terms of bringing about new forms of distribution is new means it's getting out there there's more music out there of course the artists are not being paid as they want to. eat as they were but they are being doing a live show as there are changing their models a bit are you having any of this or is it just. it's a tar and terrible development this what's gone on. i can't i really don't know much about the world of computers to be able to stay so there's a new phenomenon called steam cook you heard that it's kind of technological but. that this century style the logical has the steam and i've got a lot of sun for that kind of. code that they wouldn't say was a low down i just. you know don't go to church no logical generally i'm pretty low

all right so let is away so. how to say how any where any new music would be defended through me and right and in any way that i would do you know that and so. the message of music the music and its message and the fact that in the sixty's for examples it was right there with the the civil rights movement and music was a huge thing during the seventies had the thatcher kind of revolution that seemed to bring about punk as saying at against that what was going on in society then you had this period of really reaganism and fatter ism which you seem to go into a more stadium punk rock you two kind of period of well really yeah you quite right lot of patriotism but things are changing obviously they're changing because john cooper clarke is back in the house and really the king is attacked and so something is happening we are the subjects of the king must hear what's happening what's going on but like i say things operate changed

a bit for me to say well. you know of always. that's always been my main thing live life show what were you surprised when your poetry was included now in the official syllabus of the of the education system here in britain i was kind of surprised but it did me a lot of good and i think it's generally. responsible for any renewed interest that my still and i didn't leave because you know what that catchment area when when people were still doing it for the g.c. is that was a time when. the likes of alex to have a. plan b. would have been to give them and they came across still to think so it's been very good for me that. and there any any hopes for becoming the official poet laureate of the britain well i think i think that should go to a permit is yes because she'd do a great job of it probably all for the. right behind i'm guessing but she'd do

a great job of it. it would make her happy all right so john to be heard that makes . your four inch me happy i saw him and were on the cusp of them twenty thirteen so you have to put on your prediction and camp for a second you've got obviously a lot of cross currents things happening in politics and culture. we've established that throughout the past twenty five or thirty years the only constant seemingly in this ever changing world is john cooper clarke a pair you are the star around which the entire universe appears to be revolving i'm glad you think so much so that we can look forward to that continuing. for the rest of the mortals. trends perhaps do you see in the next twelve months. i know it's a tremendous pressure. being put it sure is it sure well i think football wise i

think united are going to get a zero this year. fashion wise i don't see the two piece fading now anytime soon the lounge lounge the lounge suit is is making a big comeback and even on the high street that's an awfully that they have now the one z's and you know the style of their comfort yeah but like all comfortable clothes they look. at the supermarket so you know when you're looking good would you feel uncomfortable so what one sees perhaps will cross over to the mainstream us and you have a one zero by one z. is that one piece kind of low hanging scallop they are going to bolus right from guantanamo to do these days that the dress codes out there given aren't spoilers really yeah they used to call them sirens salutes in the days of world war two went to the church of war will want to pinstripe want to actually construct one was a bethink rod or something a pen striped boiler suit could be the fast hold at

a point there let's talk to tom baker that he the drafts fantastica all right well that i think i think we've done i think we've got i think we put it we covered fashion we call it fashion sports politics. what i thought there was the. park time but thanks so much for being on the kaiser report my pleasure all right that's the idea of the first hour of the kaiser report once again thank you john cooper clarke when we come back i'll be speaking with the wonderous and. stacy herbert. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize everything you thought you don't know i'm tom harpur welcome to the big picture.

rivals for decades. if you had fifteen people killing each other in any other country there would be there would be a. self imposed from society i will myself and my going to my brother you understand. going to leave. the. anger and frustration. that they got. into the. two most violent gangs in us history. is just all model kill or be killed with matching the national flag.

of this country uses. when it reaches and then it legitimizes the. made in america. sigrid lumbered sure but human curry was able to build the world's most sophisticated group which ones would you believe goes into cuba during the bound anything. to teach music creation and why it should care about humans and we're going this is why you should care only on the only two you don't comb. welcome back to the kaiser report i'm max kaiser the kris kringle of financial

apocalypse time now to turn to stacy herbert my lovely stacy herbert. max i really want to get to the bottom of this question of who stole bongos trousers and i think it could be their david cameron or george osborne because you know while they have slashed the budget across the united kingdom for the people of the united kingdom they have increased their overseas aid budget and in order to pay for that perhaps they planned on selling bongos trousers or bonaduce trousers on the international market blackwork it well i think the poem you know some about the fred jealousy of the global system you know that you have these g. twenty and g. seven con fabs. and they all seem to be talking around the issues meanwhile the state of a global economy is getting more dire more fragile and something like stealing bottles trousers could be that straw that broke the camel's back it could be the

way for that goes into the man that that money python movie where then explodes you say that's the poem is about it's about it's about fragility in the system. i do seem to recall that bonus trials were stolen right at the peak of the bubble the global fine before the global financial collapse happened but you know what this increase in the overseas aid budget i'd like to look at this headline here poverty barons who make a fortune from taxpayer funded aid budget britain swelling overseas aid budget has created a new group of poverty barons paying themselves up to two million pounds a year for their work helping the disadvantage somatics all of this overseas aid budget goes to the department for international development d.f. id i don't know if they refer to as the fifth or the fade. down.

paid almost five hundred million pounds last year to consultants mostly british many of whom earned six even seven figure incomes courtesy of the u.k. taxpayer oh yeah well that's the thing about a christmas day special like the all the good chance that people are feeling giving to the aid programs and just going into the same bucket of kickbacks and bribes that we see all over throughout the economy and people just don't get the aid and the king of this of course is tony blair has made a post downing street and surprise of flying around the world like a chris pringle from hell and throwing lumps of coal out of the sleigh with some poxy reindeer that he got from a triple and posse reindeer shop screaming home oh i'm a prick at home. poxy reindeer yes and apparently mahmoud abbas he was asked what tony blair does for the palestinian territories he said nothing nothing nothing big

fat piece of coal dust and i phone right there is nothing nothing nothing from tony blair and you like to rip everyone off and put it in comic square. that's right live unless i know the u.s. embassy right here in london it makes that simple simple a state conic square bungalow one bunker plots is not a rip off but back to these poverty barons one of the top poverty barons of the u.k. . from adam smith international the managing director of the london based development consultancy adam smith international a s i which gets most of its income from deficient paid himself a salary and dividends totaling almost one point three million pounds in twenty ten adam smith sensitive is another one of these oxymoron like military intelligence that you would think therefore balance marking free market but no they're just a front group for scam stars they like to go with the idea that they're for free

market enterprise but when you scratch the surface they're just stamp stars well it makes sense because the likes of bondo for example fly around the world with tony blair and gordon brown and now probably david cameron and george osborne and he says ok why don't you guys raise taxes in order to increase your overseas budget and then we find out that in fact he himself refuses to pay any taxes to actually pay for any of that you know how come they didn't do it to live a bonna to bail out ireland i mean he's irish isn't it i thought he was irish maybe he's not irish maybe he's just like cox the coal burning sleigh riding journey. so back to this story about adam smith international it grew out of but is now not related to the right wing think tank the adam smith institute they were paid thirty seven million pounds by defeat last year to promote the free market in the third world its total turnover that year was fifty three point six million pounds with

profits of five million pounds up ten percent in two thousand and ten so as you see most of their income comes from the u.k. taxpayer and there they are pushing this free market agenda which they themselves don't apparently are unable to compete and they steal from the taxpayer by cooking the books and these scams for aid then they blame the taxpayer for having to. due process or some kind of return of the. pension accounts or social security to. write them off and bug stolen so max then they go on to look at the barons aside from the adam

smith international and i found that several of the best officials who appear to have gained substantial income they are still doing essentially the same and the point now it's a president it's just about a bunch of guys stealing money left right and center. sounds you know corrupt from the from the first.

twenty thirteen by the way for the poverty barons well while almost all other departments are cutting spending ministers have committed to increase in defense budget which will rise by thirty five percent in real terms in the next three years or more than three billion pounds per year worse than austerity where is the austerity it's not for the. it's not for the food the demo for the dome the direction flock and. the game you know all of christmas traditions the start of germany hundreds of years ago we can end the show impressionist and it's going now going to be hot and fox and she's like and she's. i mean that's a german for these are dumb and not an irishman well these dumb efforts have done a lot of work in afghanistan and here i have a next story to look at what's happening in afghanistan since we went there to help the people of afghanistan the bank boss that nearly took down afghanistan so

there's a report out by the independent joint anti-corruption monitoring and evaluation committee that sounds like one of these out of poverty buried sort of groups they released a report on the collapse of khalil bank and the report found more than ninety two percent of the banks loan book or eight hundred sixty one million dollars was extended to nineteen related individuals and businesses which ultimately benefited twelve people the remaining seventy four million dollars was extended to legitimate customers in loans so it makes sense that here you have you know a country which has been invaded and then all these think tanks and poverty baron sent there to tell them how to run their business then you see ninety two percent of the loans go to twelve guys you saw that in ireland you saw that in iceland use see that probably here in the united states. in the u.k. is there to bring people freedom in afghanistan and they know that they're there to

bring free money. these twelve people who are gaming this is. political hacks like tony blair. yes of course it's billions of dollars of our member six or seven billion was on pallets and cash just airlifted into iraq member of the iraq war few people just got fabulously wealthy and that's bringing freedom to iraq again just a cover for massive pilfering and larceny going on by the same corrupt guys who are destroying the world's economy and blaming it on the people you must you must suffer austerity while we steal billions well perhaps afghanistan will have their own version of austerity if that's possible in a country like afghanistan because the report noted that the failure of kabal bank and the subsequent government bailout represented around five to six percent of afghanistan's gross domestic product making cowbell bank one of the largest banking failures in the world so max think about that the united states and the u.k.

invaded afghanistan not only did we quadruple can twelve pull ten topple the production of opium but now we also within by few years saw the biggest bank bailout in global history as a percentage what about frankincense you know frankincense is needed for christmas and so they burn over their holy house to invoke all kinds of religious ceremonies that all come from that part of the country i think yemen is the most robust frankincense market in the world has america bombed that you have to steal all the frankincense so how was this fraud committed so first kabal bank was moving money through food trays on pammy or airway. you know my own food tray. you know they would bring you your food your meal on the plane stewardess their three billion dollars in my soup. bag. oh my god there's a billion dollars in my home and. it also noted that the banks

credit department did a loan for proxy borrowers on instruction from senior management of ford's supporting documents including applications financial statements and registrations and employ fake business to lend authenticity to the documents business stamps that harkens right back to charles ponzi you know who is the whole scam about stamps going back and forth to europe that's great and of course the wording there is a proxy and should be poxy that's the word of the day for this christmas special poxy and then finally on this story that you know the greatest ponzi schemes in history have always been promoted by the government whether it was the south sea bubble or the two look bubbles and ordinary afghans had entrusted their deposits to cabo bank convinced by a sweeping advertising campaign and good publicity surrounding the bank which was touted by foreign donors and the afghan government as proof that the country was

modernizing and stable i.e. the poverty barons pushed the people of afghanistan into this bank saying where the ones that advised them we know it's modern we know it's great big jump some of taliban are out there with the improvised explosive devices going after a few marines meanwhile the u.s. banks are in bank of capital stealing billions. and we've got all right stacy thanks so much darling noticed the wedding rings. thank you max all right that's going to do it for this edition of the kaiser report with me max keiser and stacy herbert and i want to thank our very special guest john cooper clarke if you'd like to follow us on twitter cars report or at facebook dot com forward slash cars a report of a happy christmas or just plain old nice twenty five trillion dollars worth of. forests in your frank imagination about a frank banking scandal that never happened and the austerity measures are good for you by all.

emission. going to take three years for sure.
