Breaking the Set No. 258 -- 2013 Oct 17 TH

Government Shutdown Sham Delayed, NSA Sponsored Drones, Professor Griff Fights the Power.

On this episode of Breaking the Set, Abby Martin remarks on the return of furloughed government employees but reminds us that the fix is only temporary; until the next debt ceiling debate only months away. Abby then cites a new report by the Arizona Republic about the Phoenix International Airport about TSA misconduct, highlighting instances where agents have abused the elderly and the disabled. Abby then calls attention to the CIA's reliance on NSA data mining for its drone strikes, and speaks to David Seaman, host of the David Seaman hour about NSA accountability, Keith Alexander's departure from the agency and Glenn Greenwald's latest journalistic venture. BTS wraps up the show with an interview with former 'Public Enemy' member Professor Griff, discussing the de-evolution and corporatization of mainstream music, and how youth can reject escapism and fight the power.
