<< On Friday, 1843 Magazine, the longform arm of The Economist, published a lengthy profile [ [www.economist.com] ] of Graham Hancock, a onetime stringer for The Economist.

Fortunately, Weber centers this in the context of far-right conspiracies, branding Hancock “conspiracy theorists’ favourite historian,” even if Hancock is no historian. >>
