October 1, 2014 GIHAdmin68

By Michael Snyder I know that headline sounds completely outrageous. But it is actually true.

September 22, 2014 GIHAdmin98

Apparently terrorized by the fear-mongering tactics of the British establishment media, in the form of hysterical warnings about food price rises and “societal disintegration“, the fiercely independent Scottish people voted to remain in the UK. Or so the British establishment media would have us believe. The official result matched the predictions of polls conducted by […]

When Exxon Mobil CEO Rex Tillerson detailed a $3.2 billion deal to drill for oil in Russia’s Arctic Sea two years ago, he predicted that the project would strengthen the ties between the U.S. and Russia. However, as WSJ reports, Exxon has instead wound up in the cross hairs of U.S. foreign policy, which could […]
