yes and he sang gallon stetson acts a cop my there is holiness improperly dress like that who stole bongos trousers cause it wasn't bush obits save the planet without x. who stole bone those trials is can i have i'm back east son to do some good in a world and that's no way o. acts well politics is itself an off gig with out base conduct 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 l b shades with the gold mokoena was sides frowns as shades a chip on stetson county get him 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 it's a find so selflessness especially in the biz it was still bono's trials as they must be sick was it some sinister who was that chick she said to name

was boone a debt 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 u.n. troops all systems go cause bone go minus trousers equals i don't want to 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 all right first thing art asked john cooper clarke what is the inspiration and what were you thinking there on the bongos trial. and i

don't think i'm speaking out of school when i say i think that's referring to panto i think sure is yeah yeah well i was about four five years ago when was it the g. eight conference satan vancouver the subway it was an ecological event you know. all the world leaders were invited obviously prince chief of the po that. whoever was president of the united states and will leaders with ecological with the ecological. we're all me a. true but also canadian. it easy to forget about canadian 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 represent the. they descend 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 no who is there i stand simply to represent well what does he represent exactly what do you reckon he's there to represent those descended from rock and roll by in public and the boys out what couldn't. they carry it we could serve as they 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 dressing room he don't basically got there at least let the stride stetson wrap around shades it took a look at the dress codes of his consent parades. or it could look a like they are still the evil even the dalai lama the pope were

a lie would. go change and a lamb stew to give it was over but a grab it for those that disagree. 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 is 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 really you know it's. things like punk and so house music and things like that you know that these phenomena pop phenomena that sweep oh before you know could never be predicted i don't think they seem to go hand in hand the way that they used to begin back in the days of the music business which of course has taken a bit of a bashing recently. enough 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 you're doing 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 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 dude comes equipped 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 at i mean 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 punk you heard that it's kind of technological but. that this century style the logical hands the steam and i've got a lot of sun for that kind of. code that they 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 so. but it saves how to say oh any where any new music would be defend what really and 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 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 in fact 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 i've always you know of 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. responsible for. any renewed interest in my still and in italy 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 to give them a minute so they came across still to think that 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 because she'd do a great job of it she's 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 happy. here year for it's me happy i saw him and we're 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 what 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 pieces fading now and. 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 it looks terrible 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 again one z. by one z. is that one piece kind of low hanging scallop they are going to bolus the way from guantanamo to these days 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 which is 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 was talk to tom baker that he the drafts fantastica all right well that i think what i think we've done i think we've got i think we put it we could put 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 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.

deadly rivals the 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 tell myself that my going to my brother understand. i'm going to leave. the cause of my anger and my frustration. that. well into the. two most violent gangs in u.s.

history. it's just all model kill or be killed with the colors matching the national flag. but this country uses violence when it reaches and then it legitimizes that. they are made in america on the.

welcome back to the cars the report i'm max kaiser the kris kringle of financial apocalypse time now to turn to stacy herbert my lovely stacy herbert. next 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 bonaduce trousers on the international market or it well i think the poem you know it's about the jealousy 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 state of a global economy is getting more dire more fragile and something like stealing banos 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 the 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 i d i don't know if they refer to as the fifth or the faded. purse. 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 this the all the good chair that people are feeling giving to the aid program and just you know going into the same bucket of kickbacks and bribes that we see all over throughout the economy and people are just don't get the aid and i'm the king of this of course is tony blair has made a post downing street and surprise of flying around the world like that kris kringle from hell and throwing lumps of coal out of the sleigh with some poxy

reindeer that he got from a triple an oxy reindeer shop screaming home oh i'm a perfect 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 that's a nice poem right there nothing nothing nothing from tony blair again you like to rip everyone off and put it in comic square. that's right live in those 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 deficient paid himself

a salary and dividends totaling almost one point three million pounds in twenty ten adam smith insisted 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 scampers 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 a live a bonna to bail out ireland i mean he's irish isn't the 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 d. fed 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 scams for aid then they blame the taxpayer for having to some merit 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 make when i show up to get the money out whether it's pension accounts or social security council or the u.s. what 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 and they go on to look at the field of who is actually who are these poverty barons aside from the 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 i mean it's a private public sector it's a bird it's a plane no it's a no it's not seem totally but 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 kwanzaa. i love the work when i go in this country just it just sounds you know

from the first q. go and sort of thing oh it's a quiet go. to steal from the public in the name of 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 well 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 on christmas day it's going now going to be hot and fox and she slipped and she mocked and. i mean that's 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 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 cavil 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. 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 in afghanistan what they don't tell you is that they're there to bring free money to these twelve people who are gaming this is no without political hacks like tony blair. yes of course and billions of dollars of memory six or seven billion was on pallets and cash just airlifted into iraq remember 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 thank corrupt guys who are destroying the world economy and blaming it on the people you must and you must not prosperity 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 about a five to six percent of afghanistan's gross domestic product making capital 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 full ten topple the production of opium but now we also with invest few years saw the biggest bank bailout in global history as a percentage one of the frankincense. you know frankincense is needed for christmas and so they burn over there at the 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 bomb 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 pam your airway. and food trays.

you know they bring you your food your meal of the plane stewardess their three billion dollars in my soup. bag. oh my god there's a billion dollars on my dollar. 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 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 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 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 kaiser and stacy herbert and i want to thank our very special guest john cooper clarke if you'd like to follow us on twitter or at cars to report or at facebook dot com forward slash
