he'll give you some of the 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 elba shades with the goldman. frowns as shades a chip on stetson county get back in a deal about the. billion east coast in a deal to care so much he's all right as it is it's rare it's a fine selflessness especially in the bay is it was still bone those 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 it

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 two rounds as equals i don't wanna know. that my christmas wes has come true bongos travelers i heard or read that over tom baker's shop and so i got this fabulous jacket i did with jack. i really stack up last night it was. alright first thing i asked john cooper clarke what is the inspiration or what we think speaking out of school and i say i think that's referring to panto i think sure as you yeah well i was about four five years ago when was it the g eight conference when i was at the g eight conference satan truvada subway it was an ecological event you know . obviously prince chief of the pope that. whoever was president of the united states and will leaders with an ecological with it would

ecological. we're all me a. vegan true but also campaign canadia it easy to forget about canadian way down there next to mexico but it it it came out part of it was that was the focal point of anybody that was concerned with the planet right of course bono was the represent the. the dissent from the record buying public now what about this idea that bond our bond represents the global disenfranchised i think when he's g eight meetings occur when he's been confines occur they have got the world leaders and then there's by now is there a stance of play to represent well what does he represent exactly what do you reckon he's there to represent those descended from rock n roll by in public and the boys

out what couldn't. they carry your sleeve we could serve as big carry asli through the likes of both but the thing is i was writing something else entirely at that when i heard this on a news flash that somebody had been a nice dress a groom he don't basically got their eighty's let the stride stetson wrap around shades it took a look at the dress codes of the of his consent for is a comb out looking like they are a roadie so they've even the dalai lama in the pope will wear a language suit so it's. going to change in a lounge suit to give himself a bit a grab it sas on behalf of those that dissent from. while he's been out there given his five minutes to go back to change back into the bone go super hero rock the rules go into his usual strip of lead the jeans and reparable glasses and somebody paged 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 well what's that what does it get don't they even swine said the kids all these pieces that john cooper clarke the you're having an enormous resurgence people are beginning to realize are mr surgeons 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 to me is that you've got a rejection of everything that's going on right now including 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 it's. 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 they seem to 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 in recent hours or else talk 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 new zick anymore and to talk about that here don't like a live performance is there a connection there well i was that was always my main squeeze anyway like the phone was just so things that we've changed that much for me and not rigged but who knew when they learned 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 the 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 me doing a lot of thing work but they are me 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 develop. i really don't know much about the world of computers to be able to stay so there's a new phenomenon called steam punk you heard that it's kind of the technological book. of the century style the logical hands the steam and i've got a lot of sun for that kind of. code but they i wouldn't say it was almost. code that they are i wouldn't say it was a little bit i just you know nobody no logical generally i'm pretty low all right

so let is really so. but it's a how to say oh any where i need to know right and in any way that i would you know do it 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 one in society and you had what harry and thriller isn't going to seem to get 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 back and so something is happening we are the subjects of the king must hear what's happening what's going on like a state things up it changed

a bit for me to shoot don't you know about always. that's always been my main thing live but 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 get you know. the responsible for any renewed interest that money still and because you know what that catchment area when when people were still doing it for the g.c.'s that was a time when. the likes of alex to have a. plan b. would have been through gives 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 kennedy heard it makes happy. here year for it's me. i saw him and we're on the cusp of now 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 parent 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. well the 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 in even on the high street yes you know honestly they have now the one z's and you know the style of their comfort yeah but like all comfortable clothes they look it looks terrible at the supermarket so you know when you're looking good when you feel uncomfortable so what one sees perhaps will cross over to the mainstream us again one thing by one see is that one piece kind of low hanging scallop they are going to bolus right from guantanamo did they say is that the dress codes out there given aren't spoilers really yeah they used to call them sirens in the days of world war two went to the church of war will want to pinch drop one actually pinstripe one was a bethink rod or something a pencil a boiler suit could be the fast food at

a point there was talk talk to tom baker would be 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 else but i realize the. park time but thanks so much for being on the kaiser report my pleasure max all right that's going to do for 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 chanting stacy herbert.

rivals for decades. fifteen people killing each other in any other country there will be. from society i will myself in my going my brother going to. going to leave. the call of my anger and frustration.

to. us history. is just all models. with color matching the national flag. of this country music. when it reaches and then it legitimizes the. made in america on the.

welcome back to the kaiser report imax kaiser the kris kringle financial apocalypse time now to turn to stacy herbert my lovely stacy herbert. i really want to get to the bottom of this question of who stole bongos trousers and i think it could be very 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 bonded. on the international market blackwork it yeah well i think the poem you know it's about the fragility of the global system you know that you have these g twenty and g seven confound. us and they all seem to be talking around the issues meanwhile the stain 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 what the poem is about it's about it's about fragility in the system. i do seem to recall the bonus track as theirs 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 so max all of this overseas aid budget goes to the department for international development d f i d i don't know if

they refer to as defeated or d. fed. 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 chair that people are feeling giving to the aid programs and just going to 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 killing of this of course is tony blair has made a post downing street and surprise of flying around the world like a chris crandall from hell and throwing lumps of coal out of his sleigh with poxy reindeer that he got from a triple and posse reindeer shop screaming home oh i'm a first at home. poxy reindeer yes and apparently mahmoud abbas he was asked what

tony blair does for the palestinian territories and he said nothing nothing nothing big fat piece of coal that's a nice poem right there nothing nothing nothing from tony blair and you like to rip everyone off and put it in comic square. that's right live as i know the u.s. embassy right here in london it makes that simple simple a state conic square bungalow in bunker plots is not a ripoff 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 defended paid himself a salary and dividends totaling almost one point three million pounds in twenty ten adam smith sensitive it's another one of these oxymoron like military intelligence

that you would think therefore balance marking free markets 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 you know cancer's 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 in a bond 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 bearing sleigh riding jerk. 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 that apparently are unable to compete and they steal from the taxpayer by cooking the books and these stamps for aid then they blame the taxpayer for having to some merit aid to demand from their government that they elected some kind of due process or some kind of return of the capital that they invested in social programs that they invest that they put their money in and then when i show up to get the money out whether it's pension accounts or social security council or the u.s. would they pay and do it then they come to get the money they're told you scheming little snow's not right ragamuffin bah humbug you know they've stole the money you know whether social security or whether it's here in the u.k.

the money's been stolen. so max then they go on to look at the field of who is actually who are these poverty barons aside from adam smith international and i found that several of the best paid consultants are former dea fed officials who appear to have gained substantial increases in their personal wealth since leaving the department even though they are still doing essentially the same work. again it's the revolving door between government and the you know the appendages of government in the so-called private sector but me it's a private public sector it's a bird it's a plane no it's a no it's not seem to leave it at that dock no what is it it's just about a bunch of guys stealing money left right and center and calling it some kind of quasi quango i love the work when i go in this country it just it just sounds you know corrupt from the from the first cue onward go you know yeah instead of a think tank oh it's acquiring go. to steal from the public in the name of the

private enterprise. so how much worse is this going to get how much better in two thousand and 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 but where is the austerity and where is the austerity it's not for the. it's not for the food the demo for the dome the direction flock and often. the game you know all those christmas traditions of started in germany hundreds of years ago we can show on christmas day and it's going now going to be hocking fox if you fly and she falls. i mean that's the german for these are dumb and bon i was 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. 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 capital 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 some 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 and in the united states. in the u.k. to bring people freedom. and then to bring free money to these twelve people who are gaming this is no without political hacks like tony blair. billions of dollars of memory six or seven billion was on pallets and cast just airlifted into iraq member of the iraq war few people just got fabulously wealthy on that that's bringing freedom to iraq again just cover for massive pilfering and larceny going on by the same corrupt guys who are destroying the world economy and blaming it on the people you must and you must not prosperity while we still growing m's. 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 a 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 as america that you have to steal all the frankincense so how was this fraud committed so first kabal bank was moving money through food trays pammy or airway. food trays. 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 of my dollar. it also noted that the banks credit department with a loan for proxy borrowers on instruction from senior management of forged supporting documents including applications financial statements and registrations and employed fake business to lend authenticity to the documents business stamps that harkens right back to charles posing 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 park site 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 job some of taliban are out there at 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 not us 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 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. forest in your frank imagination about
