welcome to break into said i'm abby martin so we're almost on the brink of war with syria yes that seems like just yesterday that obama was about to drop cruise missiles over the basket because assad allegedly crossed the red line just days after the august twenty first sarin gas attack killed nearly fifteen hundred syrians the administration released an intelligence brief place in seoul blame on assad of the deadly assault even secretary of state john kerry well aware of the fabrications told by the u.s. to get into iraq assured us that quote we will not repeat that moment we've taken unprecedented steps to declassify and make facts available to people who can judge for themselves and although those facts were never laid bare mounting pressure forced obama into diplomacy the legendary investigative journalist seymour hersh just wrote an article that tells a different story take a listen to what he said about the real reason obama decided to back down from a military strike. i'm telling you he didn't do it because the american people said no he knew it because he didn't have a case. that

breaking the site with abby martin is next. they're calling obama's happy smiling sophie photo with the danish and british prime ministers at the mandela funeral and international and student but before we rail on obama for doing something stupid a funeral we need to clear one thing up the washington post says that this action occurs at the memorial service after the funeral was over and trust me after about three hours of serious lectures at a conference or some sort of super long wedding most of us will just be banging our heads against the wall out of boredom. and i've probably checked my email about seven times obama's place know i said most of us but the president isn't supposed to be like most of us because he represents all of us it's one thing when you're fourteen and too stupid to realize that sophie photos at the wake after grandpa's funeral is a bad idea but it's another thing entirely when one of the most photographed and powerful people on the planet takes a selfie at the memorial service of someone he claims to re

dot com but now abby martin looks back on some of twenty thirteen's major news stories including an essay surveillance in the world wide anti fracking protests breaking the set is up. merry christmas happy kwanzaa happy belated hanukkah and happy festivus everyone happy martin this is breaking the cycle guys this is our last show of the year and given that news can be really depressing we thought would be quite appropriate to take a quick look back at some of the most up lifting and encouraging moments of two thousand and thirteen incredible technological advances were made from ultra efficient solar power to prenatal d.n.a. sequencing perhaps most incredible was the advent of three d. organ printing yes for the first time ever three d. printing technology was used to build tiny bits of organs although we're still years away from fully grown organs that can be built from an individual's own cells this development means one day people will no longer have to wait on a transplant list now staying on the world of game changing technology last month nasa launched maven a space probe that's bei

new rules undermine their rights to own ancestral lands so while bringing the south would host abby martin is coming your way in just a few minutes. we often see the middle east as a place of constant turmoil and revolution but people entirely and seem to be very fired up as well masses of protesters are force a government ministries to shut down by storming them with human waves one such ministry is the touch equivocal. the american f.b.i. which has been accused of killing around ninety people in a crackdown on those who support ousted prime minister taksin shinawatra who is the brother of the current leader while people are crying out for democracy with accusations of violence against protesters so where is barack obama john kerry the mainstream media i mean whatever some group of rebels protestors are i mean freedom fighters rise up for democracy are we supposed to arm them like in syria and or bomb their country back into the stone age like in libya serbia iraq some protests explode across the mainstream media with calls for intervention and others are almost totally silent like thaila

top headlines in about half an hour's time next though i'm stepping aside from angry abby it's abby martin breaking the set just a moment here with oxy international. the parliament of yemen has put forward a motion to ban drone attacks in the country the motion is now awaiting approval by the president and it's probably impossible to enforce unless they could build a really big net or something isn't it strange that now after years of drone strikes in their country the parliament just wakes up to the fact their systems are getting blown up from the sky to be fair yemen doesn't have a ton of cash and i could see how having the well equipped and funded u.s. military to take care of the al qaeda problem for them for free could be really in tyson i mean it must be scary to be a politician with lots of power hungry terrorists about this would be the first time in history that a stronger foreign power fought a weaker states battles for them. but the problem is that according to the huffington post a former u.s. state department official in yemen says that every year drone attacks create eight f

abby martin of r t proud producer george i'm really excited about how well the phones are and i cannot wait to see it other than doctoring up evidence for the iraq war briefly touch upon the other crimes that you think tony blair is responsible for that we might not know about here in the us well the titled the killing of tony blair is a triple on the first killing was his killing of the labor party as we knew it and i was a member of it for thirty six years before he expelled me in two thousand and four and abolished my parliamentary constituency hoping that one way or another he'd be rid of me the killing of the labor party was a crime against the working people of britain because every country needs a liberal party including your own country may see a party that will stand up for working people whose interests are in separate from the interests of other classes in the society the second killing is obvious it's the killing of a million people in iraq. in afghanistan and by extension in lebanon and in palestine and many other places other third killing is the financial killing that mr

what's happening folks i'm abby martin and this is breaking the set last week a sixteen year old texas teenager named ethan couch was sentenced for killing four people and severely injuring two others while driving belligerently drunk so knowing texas is penchant for punishment one can only assume that this kid got at least a couple of years behind bars nope instead the judge gave him ten years probation and a trip to a four hundred fifty thousand dollars rehab facility lindsay you know hand style see the poor kid was suffering from a debilitating illness called affluenza and it is a rich parents of spoiled him so badly that he's never had a chance to develop something called morals because there's no better punishment for a spoiled brat than to send him to a celebrity rehab center if you don't think this is about class or race for that matter one only has to look at another verdict by the same judge from just last year where a fourteen year old black teen killed someone in a fight was sentenced to ten years behind bars but as ridiculous as this case is what's most terrifying is the pr

international next though fresh restrictions on the banks it's causing frustration in wall street abby martin breaking the set is one of the issues and for us. as we all know the holidays are a great time for families to get together and sometimes on the elko gets flowing they're also a great time for us to argue about everything from politics to religion with the ones we love but if you happen to be an n.s.a. agent and the government has an official list of talking points that way you can win those family arguments for sure yeah that's right the government is now giving n.s.a. agents lists of very corny talking points going to firedoglake so that way they can convince their relatives over the holidays of just how awesome effective and necessary the national security agency truly is despite all those little revelation thinks of mass spying by snowden trust me talking points exist for a reason political social and religious organizations and use them so that when their members who may not be the best debaters on the planet can defend the positions of the organization and i would have no proble

less of a risk to the world that's one of the subjects being explored in breaking the set with abby martin that's coming away a bit later today. for now on the program here the u.s. defense chief is in pakistan trying to smooth over the cracks between the two countries but despite a warm handshakes delivered perfectly for the cameras chuck hagel is taking a tough stance on the key area of division of the deadly drone strikes he's warned that aid could be cut off if drone protests continue and man attacks have killed nearly a thousand people in the last ten years and experts say washington is just an unwilling to admit what's really happening. i don't think anybody in the united states including the people members of congress really want to face up to the fact that the drone wars may be really unsuccessful and one of the problems with the drone strikes are they do kill people but they also kill. innocent pakistanis and that's why in the same is true in afghanistan and of course this is a problem that you may be creating more terrorists than your creator then you're killing their tactically

not the friday folks i'm abby martin and this is breaking news that a liberal lion in the next mayor of new york bill de blasio by name his choice for and y.p. commissioner now based on his campaign promises one would expect a blazin to fill this crucial position with individual vehemently against the race is a narrow minded stop and frisk program but that would be just too logical and hope instead of blasio is gone with bill bratton who served as new york's top cop twenty years ago and most recently is l.a.p.d. chief of police and as it turns out not only was he an innovator of the controversial program back then but i think is pretty highly of the way this harassing technique is being used today just listen to what he told journalists jeffrey toobin he said if the cops are not doing stop and frisk they are not doing their jobs it is a basic fundamental tool police work and the whole country if you do away with stop and frisk this city will go down the chute as fast as anything you can imagine. wow looks like the blasio picked a real ingenious thinker and sadly that's just the begin

moscow by backing off an hour's time with more of the world's top hourly headlines for now though abby martinand breaking this is that. ukraine is in a tough spot right now trying to figure out whether to join the e.u. or the arrangements custom union it would be nice if they would you know maybe allow the populace to vote for their future via referendum but sadly it looks like the politicians will be making the historic decision i can see why some people want to look west and some people want to look east but i don't understand why so-called ukrainian nationalists want so desperately to join the e.u. first off any nationalist groups in the e.u. are automatically demonised as right wing extremists and the politically correct west patriotism is pretty much a dirty word generally nationalist like their culture and the people who are part of it but if you look at migration trends within the e.u. we see that the slavic part of it is flooding western europe looking for work i have many relatives from the slavic part of the e.u. and almost all of them have to work abroad and might sound nice to be
