Breaking the Set No. 225 -- 2013 Aug 15 TH

Nestlé Pillages Canada, US Funds Egypt Chaos, Peace Prize for Bradley Manning

On this episode of Breaking the Set, Abby Martin calls out Nestlé Corporation for its water resale in British Columbia while not paying a cent for its extraction. With a mounting death toll in Egypt, Abby talks to Brian Becker, national coordinator with the ANSWER Coalition about the roots of the violence, and how US tax dollars continue to fund the Egyptian military despite hollow condemnations from the White House. Abby then talks to Norman Solomon, Co-founder of RootsAction.org about the petition to award whistleblower Bradley Manning with the Nobel Peace Prize. Abby wraps up the show with a heartfelt remark about Einstein's 'Circle of Compassion' by reflecting on how to balance personal stability with the plight of humanity by establishing a sense of global empathy.
