    This is a guest post, and it’s always good to hear different opinions. Thanks EG for taking the time to write and for making the commitment to speak.

    But avoiding the resort to conspiracy theories to explain the mind-boggling times we live in has always been one of TAE’s greatest strengths. The editorial and brand issue for TAE is not about being PC, or even being a platform for anti-Israel opinions or veiled antisemitism (odious as the latter would be in its own right). It’s about surrendering to the intellectual poverty of conspiracy thinking.

    That way madness lies…and powerlessness. It seems to me that TAE has always sought to empower, not disable. When we surrender to conspiracy theory, we surrender our own agency. Please don’t go there.
