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! Editorial | was sitting here pondering to myself over whether the news items in Global News this issue were a little too depressing, when it was announced on the radio that the literacy levels in Australia are at an all-time low. Not only that, but the newsreader also gave out incredibly alarming statistics regarding the literacy rates for the UK and the USA. Folks, this is serious! If people out there cannot read or write, NEXUS will go down the gurgler! Actually, literacy levels in all these coun- tries started falling immediately that the phonetic method of reading/writing was dropped. Are the experts stupid, or is this another conspiracy, our callers ask? While we are on sad subjects, one of America's best alternative news maga- zines, Perceptions, has closed down. In fact, many other alternative news maga- zines in the US are also facing similar problems due to a radical restructuring of the distribution industry. Same old story: the big are getting bigger and the small- and medium-sized businesses are being squeezed or bought out. The publishers of Perceptions approached us and asked if we would take over their subscription obligations and supply outstanding Perceptions subscribers with NEXUS instead. This we have done, and | extend a big welcome to our new readers! Back to the items in Global News. It's hard not to get upset sometimes while doing this job at NEXUS, but the story of the radioactive and other toxic fertilisers being spread on farms across the USA (and Australia) did make me cry. Mind you, | was probably softened up by the item calmly mentioned in the UK press that every day for 50 years, 20,000 gallons of radioactive waste have been poured into London's drinking water supply! What is going to be the price of profit? Now to our articles in this issue. Our feature on Reverse Speech will truly amaze you! If it amazes all the NEXUS staff, it is really going to amaze you! As we go to print, the Australian media are declaring war on parents who do not have their children vaccinated. The article we publish here is certainly one of the best | have found, and | encourage all who are facing the immunisation deci- sion to read it first. Similarly, the Hysterectomy article should be read by any woman thinking of undergoing this invasive surgery, for it suggests safer, more natural options which are ultimately empowering for women. The article on the Ark of the Covenant will no doubt cause a stir in various cir- cles. | commend the author's research and diligence; he gets to go to these ancient locations and breathe history in the making, while | can only sit here dreaming of mixing it with the scorpions, the heat and the people who don't want such discoveries made public. Stay tuned... | wonder how many readers are totally confused as to what is going on at the poles. Is the ice melting or are the polar ice-caps increasing in thickness, or are both happening at the same time? Our article, "Pole Shift 2000", is a reprint of an oldie but a goodie, and kicks off a series of two (maybe three) articles addressing the complexities of whether we are facing global warming, cooling or both at once. Whatever the case, something really noticeable is happening to global weather patterns, and there are no signs of any easing for some time to come. lam also excited by the item in Twilight Zone regarding "the Scott Stones", and | am not alone. When | contacted the president of the Egyptology Society in Miami, he told me he was being flooded with media interest, and they are hard- pressed to preserve the integrity of the sites whilst waiting for lab tests to come back. I'm sure you'll hear more about this discovery in the ‘mainstream’ media. Harry Mason's article, now into Part 4, shows no sign of stopping—and nor do those weird fireballs/explosions, etc. Many are now convinced that there is a ‘quiet’ war going on behind the scenes using some pretty amazing technology. ‘Til next time...
