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 again to NEXUS, and greetings to readers of our new French-edition! Just when | think nothing can come along and blow my mental socks off any more, | find something which does—and this issue it's the WingMakers. | was in yet another mental dilemma about whether to cover this intriguing saga at all, and ended up giving it double the available space. I'm sure I'll receive the usual let- ters of protest from the ‘politically correct’ in the UFO community, about giving space to obvious hoaxes, etc., but | have to say, if this is a hoax it is so well thought-up that it deserves this attention. Regardless of its authenticity, | believe the story plants seed-thought concepts which are worthy of consideration. | strongly encourage those who want to follow it up to visit the WingMakers web- site; that way, you will know as much as | do. There's heaps more material there that expands greatly on what we can publish in NEXUS. If anyone hears of new developments, please let us know. I'm also pleased to report some encouraging and empowering news this issue. It seems the Internet is allowing the power of the masses (i.e., consumers in the eyes of the big boys) to express instant disapproval—and with big results. Most are citing the power of the Internet as the main weapon in the global fight against the MAI (see Global News). I've just heard that Intel is going to shelve its new Pentium III "Big Brother" chip due to an Internet-led consumer boycott. Several other multinationals—particularly Monsanto, Shell, McDonalds and BP—are experiencing loss of consumer confidence as news of unpopular activities and tactics spreads to millions of websites literally overnight. Little wonder there are growing attempts by government agencies in most western countries to monitor or restrict such activities conducted over the Internet. It is also encouraging to see the huge increase in numbers of people wanting to buy organic food and products, and who support the more drug-free approaches to health. Common sense may be returning at last. Mind you, it is only spreading by word-of-mouth and by example, for the mainstream media and multinational medical industry are still doing all they can to put the boot into any alternative considerations which bypass their drugs, and profits—as recent media coverage in Australia has shown. Speaking of media coverage, pharmacist Maurice Czarniak, author of this issue's article on the absorptive properties of the skin, has experienced both ends of the spectrum. Maurice enjoyed so much success with his all-natural, food- based skin formulas that local and national news and current affairs TV shows dragged him on air, along with glowing testimonials. Soon the ‘experts’ were demanding equal air time, and Maurice's pharmacy was raided in November 1993 on the basis that he put egg into a cream (see NEXUS 2/24, Feb-Mar 1995). However, the results of his research speak for themselves, so | asked him to write about his research into our largest organ, the skin, and about how he developed his 'fresh' approach to ‘feeding’ the skin directly. He's finally delivered this topi- cal and absorbing report! I'm also pleased to have an article by Bruce Moen, author of two excellent books on his own out-of-body experiences. | find this subject enormously fasci- nating, and | believe most people can explore these states of awareness for them- selves with a minimum of risk. This issue also sees the first appearance of a new section we're introducing in the magazine. Called "deBriefings", it is a collection of interesting items which are too short to be feature articles and too long to be Global News items. And finally a plug for our annual NEXUS Conference in Sydney on May 22-23. Speakers include: Sir Laurence Gardner, on "The Realm of the Ring Lords"; Prof. John Frodsham; Dr James Hurtak; Dr Paul Ameisen; Bruce Moen, on "Exploring the Afterlife"; Barry Hilton; Johanna Lambert; and Chris Gilbey, on "Y2k".
