Jillian Michaels' Shocking Exit: Confronting Antisemitic Conspiracy Theories on Her Take
SHOCKING EXCLUSIVE: A Scandal Rocking the Her Take Podcast - How Antisemitic Conspiracy Theories Spread Like Wildfire
In a stunning revelation, I'm speaking out about my explosive departure from the Her Take podcast last week. But it's not just about me - it's about the disturbing conspiracy theories that have been peddled on the show since Charlie Kirk's tragic murder. And let's be clear: these are no ordinary conspiracy theories - they're antisemitic, inflammatory, and downright deadly.
The Conspiracy Theories Spinning Out of Control
Since my departure from the podcast, I've been horrified to watch as my former co-hosts continue to spread baseless, hate-fueled claims about Israel, Jews, and Charlie's alleged assassination. It's like watching a train wreck in slow motion - you can't look away, even though it's absolute chaos.
Take Max Blumenthal's explosive claim that wealthy Jewish donors were behind Charlie Kirk's intimidation into silence. Sounds convincing, right? Wrong! According to my former colleague Andrew Kolvet, the facts are clear: Turning Point USA has very few Jewish donors, and billionaire Bill Ackman - allegedly at the center of this supposed conspiracy - has categorically denied any involvement.
And don't even get me started on The Grayzone's dubious reputation. These so-called "investigative journalists" have been caught relying on anonymous sourcing, promoting Kremlin talking points, and accepting funding from Iran's state broadcaster (yep, you read that right - Iran!). It's like they're using their platform to spread propaganda for the highest bidder.
The Alarming Rise of Antisemitism
What's most disturbing about this whole saga is how these conspiracy theories have emboldened antisemites around the world. Since October 7, antisemitic incidents in the United States have skyrocketed - synagogues, schools, and Jewish-owned businesses are being attacked at an alarming rate.
And it's not just isolated incidents - this is a full-blown movement. Take Ana Kasparian's jaw-dropping claim that Israel might be behind 9/11. This smear has been thoroughly debunked by every credible source imaginable (the 9/11 Commission Report, FBI investigations, DOJ Inspector General reports... the list goes on). And yet it keeps resurfacing - because it scratches that ancient itch for scapegoats.
When Outrage Trumps Facts
As I watched my former colleagues peddle these conspiracy theories, something hit me: they're not doing this out of conviction or outrage - they're doing it for clicks. It's a vicious cycle: each inflammatory soundbite earns them more followers, and every indulgence in conspiratorial rhetoric signals tribal loyalty.
It's like they've lost all sense of reality. They're fueling hate, stoking outrage, and demonizing innocent people - all under the guise of "just raising questions." Newsflash: when you peddle conspiracy theories for clicks, you're not a truth-teller - you're a propagandist.
The Cost of this Chaos
As I reflect on my time at Her Take, it's clear that something went horribly wrong. The podcast was never just about discussing Middle East policy or critiquing Israel - it was about what gets clicks and affirmation.
And the cost is real: lives are being lost, families torn apart, and Jewish communities around the world are living in fear of hate crimes. When we normalize conspiracy theories, we open the door to harassment, violence, and even murder.
A New Era for The Scholarly Note
As I embark on this new chapter at The Scholarly Note (thescholarlynote.com), I'm committed to fact-based reporting that prioritizes empathy over outrage. We'll be tackling the tough issues head-on - but with a commitment to truth, not clicks.
So stay tuned, folks - it's time for some real journalism that puts people above politics.
