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 infor- mation 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 lam currently being bombarded with letters, faxes, phone calls and e-mail, all telling (or asking) about the Nostradamus prediction for "the year 1999, in the seventh month". There is also a significant planetary formation on 11th August which is greatly exciting astrologers across the world, as the growing pile of unso- licited articles on this subject will testify. Then, of course, there's the ever-looming Y2K problem which is already triggering millions of people around the world into frenzied action. While in the USA a couple of months ago, | learned from a Canadian business- man that survival food rations and diesel generators are in huge demand but small supply. Ironically, we stand to trigger major social upheaval just by hoarding food and energy sources in preparation for Y2K, let alone contemplating the thought of what a rush for cash will do. Speaking of what's ahead, we are pleased to present in our Twilight Zone sec- tion some of the more juicy bits of futurist Gordon-Michael Scallion's interview on the popular Art Bell radio show in the US. Forget Nostradamus and Y2K, he says: we need to worry more about changes in solar activity. | tend to agree with him. Also in this issue we have a must-read article on the prison industry. Now | know it largely uses US-sourced research, but | also know that privatisation of the prison industry is rampant in Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and Canada, to name a few places. On the AIDS front, if you still believe that HIV causes AIDS, then you need to read our article on the subject to see if that's still what you want to believe. While | was attending the fabulous Global Sciences Congress in Florida in March this year, | had the good fortune to meet Jack Shulman, President of the American Computer Company. His talk was very interesting; so interesting that | organised a transcript to be printed in this issue. This is not just an article speculat- ing on the possible alien origin of the transistor (and various other recent techno- logical leaps). The mysterious Sky Station, an orbiting satellite/space-platform with ultra-high-tech weapons, is one of the many hidden gems in his captivating story. This edition also sees our annual plug for Project Censored. Even though its vot- ing members never seem to credit NEXUS for anything (mainly because of our UFO material, | guess), their list of the most suppressed and underreported stories of 1998 deserves as much attention as it can get. A few months ago | received yet another article which | mentally put in the "someone's personal theory of life, the universe and everything" category. This particular submission, however, proposed concepts implying that matter consists of spinning particles of the same size but of differing spin velocities. It's great stuff; don't be put off by the scientific-looking diagrams. | selected the Aether item for Science News this issue because | considered the two items quite complementary. The subject of alien/UFO abductions raises its strange head again this issue. This time, Dr Helmut Lammer is the investigator and he presents research that draws upon abductees' memories of human military presence. Does this imply some abductions are mind-control experiments? As always, you be the judge. The last topic on my list for this editorial is that of the latest "rage" in conspiracy circles. It proposes that the Illuminati are actually shape-shifting reptilian aliens from another dimension, that feed off fear. I'm being bombarded by people des- perate to know if there's any truth to notions that Sir Laurence Gardner, Zecharia Sitchin, England's Queen Mother and a host of others can be described in this manner, as is being alleged by one or two "ritual abuse" victims. | am utterly amazed at how seriously people are taking these sorts of allegations without both- ering to check even the slightest detail. Having said all that, | guess now | will also be found guilty of being a reptilian alien shape-shifter, so watch out!!! Meantime, may you find this issue an interesting read in these interesting times!
