On this episode of Breaking the Set, Abby Martin talks about a new report from the Committee to Protect Journalists highlighting a consensus among media that the Obama administration is the absolute worst president on the issues of press freedoms and whistleblower protections. Abby then debunks the rhetoric from CIA director John Brennan suggesting that Obama is scaling back the use of drones by remarking on the push for autonomous killer drones and a return to the Bush-era policy of extraordinary rendition. BTS then speaks with Dina Darweesh Egyptian American activist about the hope for democracy under Egypt's fascist military takeover as well as the impact of US aid partially being cut. BTS wraps up the show with an interview with Michael Ruppert, investigative journalist and author of 'Crossing the Rubicon', about destructive energy policies, the global energy crisis and the potential for a collapse of industrial civilization as we know it unless people become more than just passive actors.
