... GLPBAL NEWS ... NEWS right to know what is going on. This repression is associated with a Stalinist state. Radio and television journalists and commentators will be subject to private inquisition by public servants employed by the Broadcasting Authority. Those people will have the power to call any of us to secret sessions. They will be empowered to demand our sources and the Act will enable them to send us off to jail for a year, if we refuse to divulge them.” The piece went on to comment about a Mr Peter Webb, who was being tipped to head the new Authority, and how Mr Webb had spent much of his working life in the NSW Attorney General's Department, ‘a bizarre back- ground for the boss of the Broadcasting Tribunal.’ (Source: Sunday Telegraph, July 5th, 1992) by Prozac users have been reported to the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) since Prozac's release in 1987. These include delirium, hallu- cinations, convulsion, violent hostility and aggression, psychosis and attempt- ed suicide. Sound familiar? the subject of intense observations in the next few months, Dan Green of the CBAT says they really don’t want people to start calling this thing “Planet X” or the 10th planet or anything like that. It’s just too soon to say. For example, he says it could turn out to be a huge comet coming in. . It is now so far away that if it is a comet on a very elongated orbit it may take 30 years to reach perihelion. Then it could well become the Comet of the (21st) Century!! The discovery was made by David Jewitt and Jane Luu using the University of Hawaii’s 2.2-meter tele- scope on Mauna Kea. The first images were secured August 30, but just as with the discovery of Pluto in 1930 the discovery was kept “under wraps” for a while to allow a better assessment. The object appears stellar and has a visual magnitude of 23.5. Jewitt and Luu note that the object is fairly red, suggesting a surface rich in organics. The current position is, for Oh UT on September 15, 1992: Oh 00.09 +0d 01°.7 (2000.0). The only orbit solution Marsden has published so far is a circular one, which puts the object at 41.2 a.u. from the Sun. It is moving retrograde at only 3” per hour. * Major medical journals have reported aggressive and suicidal ten- dencies in persons taking Prozac. * In one year alone just recently, nearly 50 lawsuits have been filed against Eli Lilly & Company (the man- ufacturers) seeking almost USD$1 bil- lion in damages by families of people who have committed suicide while on Prozac, families of those who have been murdered by people on Prozac, and people who have themselves been damaged while on Prozac. * One quick example - On September 14, 1990, Joseph Wesbecker entered his former workplace in Louisville, Kentucky, and opened fire with an AK- 47 assault rifle, killing eight and wounding twelve, before killing him- self. Results of the coroner's scan revealed a therapeutic level of Prozac in Wesbecker's blood. PLANET 'X' OR JUST A BIG COMET? The following bulletin was posted last night on CompuServe’s ASTRO- FORUM: #: 110734 $14/News/Current Events 14-Sep-92 18:07:11 Sb: #Object beyond Pluto * The curse of Prozac is so wide- spread in the USA, that the American Trial Lawyers Association has estab- lished a special Prozac litigation sec- tion to service attorneys, and a recent issue of Texas Lawyer reported that Texas personal injury attorneys view Prozac as the next Dalkon Shield. Fm: SKY TELE- SCOPE 70007,2762 To: All There is some REALLY BIG NEWS just now breaking in the astro- nomical world. The IAU Central Bureau for Astronomical Telegrams has just issued IAU Circular 5611 to report the discovery of a faint object that seems to be outside the orbit of Pluto! Brian Marsden has given it the preliminary des- ignation of an aster- oid: 1992 QB1. But its true nature will be some BIG It has been alleged that Prozac was found in the blood of most of the Australian “gun toting maniacs". Nexus is currently trying to establish the validity of this claim, and will keep readers informed. BIG BROTHER THREAT TO MEDIA? A bizarre news item appeared in the Sunday Telegraph on July Sth, which read something like this. “Most Australians have not heard of the Broadcasting Services Bill and the soon-to-be founded Australian Broadcasting Authority, but they are of vital importance. They threaten the independence of the media and therefore the public's NEXUSe7 DECEMBER-JANUARY '93
