Far-left activists UNT Philosophy Professor Adam Briggle and a Washington DC-based special interest group (Earthworks)'s outside paid political operative Sharon Wilson are two of the main individuals behind the effort to ban drilling in the City of Denton. Briggle and Wilson have direct connections to a Russian Government TV entity (RT TV) broadcast out of Moscow. RT TV is an Anti-American propaganda arm and has been exposed for spreading FALSE information about natural gas shale development in North Texas and is constantly attacking American energy independence.
