On this episode of Breaking the Set, Abby Martin calls out the UN for refusing to take accountability and pay for damages after overwhelming evidence showed that UN troops were directly responsible for a cholera outbreak that infected 650 thousand Haitians and killed 8 thousand. Abby then features a report by RT correspondent Ramon Galindo, highlighting the ongoing protests across the country against former US military general David Petreaus' teaching roles and mentorships at American universities. Abby then speaks to Greg Mello, executive director of the Los Alamos Study Group, about the deteriorating state of the 50 year old Los Alamos National Laboratory, and the dangers of the facility no longer being able to process its radioactive waste. Abby then calls attention to the superficial PC debate about changing the name of the Washington Redskins, all the while avoiding the real issue of the dire state of Native American communities in the US. Abby cites the casino industrial complex as a contributing factor to the high levels of alcoholism, infant mortality and suicide that plague the remaining 310 reservations in America. BTS wraps up the show with an interview with Max Blumenthal, journalist and author of the book Goliath: Fear and Loathing in Greater Israel, about the state-sponsored discrimination against Arabs in Israel, and how America's unflinching support for the Jewish state perpetuates Apartheid.
