Breaking the Set No. 159 -- 2013 May 06 MO

Latin American Economics, Kent State Massacre, Syria Media War of Words

On this episode of Breaking the Set, Abby Martin talks to Jamila Aisha Brown, global strategist with HUE Global, about Obama's recent visit to Latin America, and discusses how the economic growth in the region is shifting the dynamic between industrialized nations and the global south. Abby then talks to Laurel Krause, co-founder of the Kent State Truth Tribunal about the Kent State massacre cover-up 43 years on, and the news that the UN Human Rights Council will be looking into the US government's actions on that day. BTS wraps up the show with a look at the conflicting reports about chemical weapons being used in Syria, news of Israeli airstrikes in Damascus, and the importance of taking information from the corporate media on this issue with a grain of salt.
