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, philosophical 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 Welcome to the end of 1997 and the beginning of 1998. As many readers are aware, the next two dozen or so years are heavily marked with the brush of prophe- cy. Virtually every culture and religion on the planet today has a forecast for the future—with one word being uttered more often than others: "apocalypse". While the emotional tones of this singular word feel pretty horrifying, it is interest- ing to note the original meaning. "Apocalypse" literally means "the revealing", "the unveiling" or "the uncovering". Whereas before | would have asked to avoid an apocalypse, now | would embrace one! As you can imagine, one of the most common questions | get when I'm standing behind our table at various trade fairs and expos is, "Can you tell me about the sto- ries you are not allowed to print?" One of the subject areas | have been "encour- aged" not to cover is how the intelligence community is behind the global powder- drug trade. No surprises here, except it does not involve just the CIA: it is global! The Russians, British, Israelis, Irish, Australians, Canadians, Kiwis; you name them, they have never looked after national security—only transnational security! The money, after being laundered, funds what are known as "black-budget projects", and it is anyone's guess what the agenda for these are. Thankfully there are an ever- increasing number of whistleblowers out there developing a conscience, as you will see from yet another article on the subject of international drug-running in this issue. Another such subject area is one more sensitive and controversial. It is the subject of the paedophile networks cover-up. Australians have recently been told there are no grounds for an investigation into a "massive paedophile network reaching to the highest levels". Rubbish! Have you noticed the ever-increasing number of missing children, and the ever-increasing number of "inquiries" being quashed from "higher levels" of government and law? Bring on the apocalypse, and may those corrup people in positions of "respect" be "revealed", "unveiled" and "uncovered"! You will notice this issue of NEXUS seems to lean towards a predominance of arti- cles and news items that point out another area of society that needs an apocalypse: the area of the suppression of "alternative medicine". The number of people totally cured of cancer, AIDS and other so-called "incurable" diseases increases almos' daily—and still the only reaction by the medical and media mafia is to ignore, then deny, and, finally, attack. The Australian arm of the international "therapeutic" drugs network, the TGA, has "leaned" on several of our regular advertisers whom you will not be seeing again. Another advertiser fighting to have the right to bring his prod- uct to your attention is Bionic Products (see advert on page 3). In the USA, the UK and Australia there is literally an underground war being waged by people who want to be able to treat themselves and have access to vitamins, minerals, herbs and the like, without having to answer to Big Brother! Take the author of one such article inside this issue: Dr Sam Chachoua. Since speaking with me over the phone from Mexico, he has not only had death threats, he has someone put three bullets through his window. His crime? He has cured dozens of people suffering from cancer and dozens more with AIDS and "they" don’ want him talking about it. Which brings me to another commonly asked question: "How are you able to cope with all this information, Duncan?" The answer: "Sometimes | don't cope wel at all!"—as you can see by the tone of this editorial. A good friend of mine phoned me the other day and asked me to try to put some good news into the magazine. Well, some good news | did find was that the Lord Mayor of Brisbane doesn't want to fluoridate the city water supply, and that the Australian National Health and Medical Research Council has withdrawn its suppor for dental mercury amalgam. The rest of the good news is that there are thousands and thousands of people of all races and religions working and praying every day for a better, cleaner, more honest, more peaceful and more loving world. May they live long, and prosper!
