In essence, in its January 2009 edition, Quadrant<\/em>, which the windy Windschuttle edits, published an article that was not only bad but fraudulent, and this fact has been exposed in today’s Crikey. See<\/em>: How Windschuttle swallowed a hoax to publish a fake story in Quadrant<\/em><\/a>, January 6, 2009. (Margaret Simons has more deets: More on the Hoaxing of Keith Windschuttle<\/a> | Let slip the dogs of culture war\u2026hoax updates<\/a> | More Hoax Updates – Dogs of Culture War<\/a> | More Follow Ups on Hoax\u2026<\/a> | More from The Australian on the Hoax.<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Personally, I’m not sure what all the fuss is bout. After all, this is the same corporate-sponsored, squinty-eyed little rodent what reckons “To describe the process [of colonisation of Australia] as \u2018genocide’ is to use hyperbole that is unsupported by the historical evidence” — to acclaim from all the usual suspects. (Not known for having much of a sense of humour, a certain taste for the absurd is nevertheless revealed in the following: “Quadrant<\/em> magazine is the leading general intellectual journal of ideas, literature, poetry and historical and political debate published in Australia.”) The article itself is just another in the continuing greenwash<\/a> of corporate scientific prerogatives — of a kind that the other<\/em> former Marxist revolutionaries of the Revolutionary Communist Party<\/a> specialise in.<\/p>\n

In The UnAustralian<\/em>, Mister Windschuttle complains that “Crikey editor Jonathan Green should be aware that his publication\u2019s involvement in the manufacture of this story is unethical. Green should counsel his writers on the meaning of the term beat-up and inform them that when a publication gets a reputation for such practices, it loses its readers in droves,” he said. In response, Crikey editor Jonathon Green said: “Look it was a good story and it’s not my job to save Keith Windschuttle from himself”.’ (Keith Windschuttle admits Quadrant<\/em> ‘hoax’<\/a>, Samantha Maiden, The Australian<\/em>, January 6, 2009).<\/p>\n

Quadrant<\/em> also has the dubious privilege of having published former National Action Fuehrer Michael (de) Brander on \u2018Alexander Solzhenitsyn and the West\u2019 in the March 2005 edition.<\/p>\n
