Breaking the Set No. 177 -- 2013 Jun 05 WE

GMO Labeling Law Fail, DNA Databases, Media Censorship, Geo-Engineering; Playing God?

On this episode of Breaking the Set, Abby Martin gives an update on Connecticut's GMO labeling bill, by calling into question its effectiveness given a few stipulations that prevent the law from actually taking effect. Abby then talks to BTS producer, Ameera David, about the implications of the Supreme Court's ruling on DNA testing on the privacy rights of Americans, as well as the news of tens of thousands of demonstrators in Japan calling for an end to the continued use of nuclear energy. Abby then goes over the 6 corporations that control nearly everything in the mainstream media, and discusses a few of the most famous cases of media censorship with BTS producer, Manuel Rapalo. BTS wraps up the show with an interview with Clive Hamilton, public ethics professor at Charles Sturt University, and author of Earthmasters, about the controversial practice of geo-engineering; the arguments for and against the artificial altering of the natural world.
