With this in mind, NEXUS seeks to provide ‘hard-to-get’ information so as to assist people through these changes. NEXUS is not linked to any religious, philosophi- cal or political ideology or organisation. PERMISSION-TO-REPRODUCE POLICY While reproduction and dissemination of the information in NEXUS is actively encouraged, anyone caught making a buck out of it, without our express permission, will be in trouble when we catch them! Before | launch into a rave about this issue, | would first like to thank all our readers who wrote, phoned, faxed or emailed messages of encouragement after my Editorial last issue, in which | referred to a series of media attacks on NEXUS and myself. You'll find a small sampling of responses in our Letters pages. Other responses from last issue included a letter from the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) to one of our advertisers (see their ad on pages 10-11). Meantime, | am proud to announce that NEXUS is now 10 years old! I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your support: without it (and our prede- cessors), NEXUS wouldn't be here. All of us at NEXUS certainly look forward to celebrating more milestones in the future. My favourite article this issue is the Ibogaine story because it puts forward a practical solution to an enormous problem in our society: addiction. To find a treatment based on a medicinal plant extract which has a record of providing rapid, trauma-free relief to addiction is pretty exciting news. Don't just read the article: get your local politicians, doctors, naturopaths, renab centres and drug- dependents to read it and take action to get ibogaine into your country and made available under proper supervision at a reasonable cost. Whilst NEXUS readers have already read more about Gulf War syndrome than most, I'm sure you will still be appalled at the sheer magnitude of the health prob- lems resulting from GWS. | mean, in the US alone we are talking almost 200,000 people (veterans and their families) sick or dying, and around 7,000 already dead from a disease that doesn't officially exist. ‘Allied’ figures are also startling. The Pill Part 2 should encourage any women still taking synthetic hormones to dispose of them thoughtfully, down the loo, and reconsider the alternatives. As I've wanted to get more insight into the world of David Morehouse, author of Psychic Warrior, it was timely that an interview article should arrive recently. Morehouse has some eye-opening ‘reality bites’ to share, and his exposé on the tragic downing of TWA Flight 800 (exactly a year ago as we go to press) will make you choke on the cover stories the news media are dishing out. Morehouse is remarkably frank about remote viewing and his former military involvement with it. Part 2, next issue, has even more that you won't want to miss. Geologist Harry Mason (who will soon have to write a book!) covers yet wider territory in his third "Bright Skies" instalment, pointing to links between the Japanese Aum and Mahikari sects, money-power players, Tesla EM weapons, the Russians, an outback sheep station and "bloody big bangs" near Banjawarn, WA. Readers may remember the letters we published in Twilight Zone last year (first sent to Art Bell's radio show in the US) from a military 'source’ who claims his grandfather was at the Roswell UFO crash scene and pocketed some of the metal debris. Linda Moulton Howe has been on the case and organised specialists to analyse the metal samples sent in by the source. The findings are surprising, as you'll read in her write-up, and they raise more questions than they answer. Also controversial is an article by Alan Alford, author of Gods of the New Millennium, who suggests that we didn't evolve from apes, that God didn't wave a magic wand over us, but, instead, that we were gene-seeded by "the gods" of the ancients—real flesh-and-blood beings who came from outer space. Are we a genetically-bred servant race which has mutated too far—or not far enough? Before | get off this platform, a big thank-you to everyone who attended the NEXUS Conference and related events in Sydney in late May. The Conference itself attracted almost 300 people from far and wide, and everyone seemed to have a thoroughly enjoyable—and mind-boggling—time. | now leave you with a witticism | heard recently: "For every expert, there is an equal and opposite expert."
