Breaking the Set No. 229 -- 2013 Sep 05 TH

How Kerry Sold Out, California Bans NDAA, Lavish Bribes for Congress, Financing Syria War

On this episode of Breaking the Set, Abby Martin recalls how over the last 40 years, Secretary of State John Kerry has changed from a passionate anti-war advocate to the drum major for a war against Syria. Abby then speaks to journalist, Chris Hedges about all updates about the lawsuit against the federal government regarding the National Defense Authorization Act's indefinite detention clause, remarking on the California Senate's rejection of the measure. They also discuss war on Syria and Hedges' views on NSA revelations. Abby then comments on the scope of lavish expenditures sponsored by lobbyists to sway congressional opinion despite laws in the books that ban this practice. BTS wraps up the show with an interview with Max Keiser, host of RT's Keiser Report about everything from why a supposedly broke country always has money for war, and the often illogical outcomes of important events, citing Halliburton stocks rising following revelations of the company's criminality.
