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 Wow—it's almost the year 2000! I confess to deliberating long and hard about putting some "scare your socks off" prophecy special in this year 2000 crossover edition (notice I didn't say "end of the millennium" edition!). However, the growing number of doomsday scenarios in circulation made me wonder whether NEXUS readers are reaching saturation point with regard to speculation about the future. In the end, I decided to compromise with just one arti- cle on the subject: a very interesting Apache prophecy (thanks, Stephanie!) which basically says "Get your act together or perish!". Nothing like shock-tactics to get "movement" happen- ing, I suppose. Besides, I am certainly not alone in considering that humanity could stand to get its collective act more together in terms of how we treat each other and ourselves. Speaking of which, if you are reading this editorial before 1/1/2000 then you have the good fortune to be able to contribute to an awesome planetary experiment. Many of you have prob- ably heard already that on the stroke of midnight, as it falls across this wondrous planet, peo- ple in their millions will be lighting candles, saying prayers, meditating, visualising, or doing weird ceremonies—all calling for peace on Earth, an end to greed, an end to intolerance and, above all, focusing on a positive, harmonious future. It's easy: you can do the full candles- and-incense bit at home with a local bunch of like-minded well-wishers, or you can spare a thought while celebrating with friends at some New Year's Eve party—just do it. There's nothing to lose, and lots to gain! As always, we have another issue full of thought-provoking information. The opening item in Global News reflects what consumer power is capable of. If you don't want genetically modified, chemically grown, aspartame-laced food, don't buy it. People-power can create our future, by your choosing where you spend your hard-earned money! That includes, by the way, the money in your superannuation funds, trust funds, bank accounts, etc. Support ethical investment companies, buy clean food, use your power to create a positive, cleaner future. Now back to this edition. For the first time ever, we've been refused permission to reprint an article. Corporate Europe Observatory (CEO) members refused permission for us to reprint their article about the World Trade Organization (WTO), on the grounds that NEXUS is a neo- Nazi, anti-Semitic, right-wing extremist publication which also publishes articles on UFOs! To say I was shocked is an understatement. The people at CEO have always responded posi- tively in previous correspondence, virtually giving us blanket permission to reprint anything of theirs (see their article on the MAI in 5/03—-5/04, for example), so long as we credited CEO. Just as we were about to go to print, I sent them a courtesy e-mail, informing them of our desire to reprint their excellent article on the WTO, only to receive the negative response as above. I indicated that it was now too late to stop the presses, and that they were horribly mis- taken with their information about NEXUS. So here it is, but without their blessing! The article on sugar is extracted from the amazing book (now out of print) called Sugar Blues. There are not many things these days that blow my mind, but this book did/does! It's been around for years, it is very hard to get, and it will shock you to your core! If you ever see this book in a second-hand bookstore or the like, buy it immediately! We have a long-overdue article on the insanity of the psychiatric profession. If you want proof that we live in the "dark ages", just look at this pitiful industry and the havoc it causes. For the "mad scientists" out there, we have another article on the Joe Fuel Cell (see NEXUS 5/05, 5/06). Believe it or not, there have been further developments and breakthroughs, so much so that a manual has now been written, detailing exactly how to build one yourself. Be warned: you will need time, some expertise and patience. Cold-fusion watchers will also appreciate the update in New Science News. The articles on Music and Neo-Astrology seem to complement each other enormously. Both deal with the effects of vibrations and, to a degree, resonance. Resonance is the secret to achieving super-scientific breakthroughs, a la Nikola Tesla. At this point, I'd like you know just how much all of us here at NEXUS, not only in Australia, but at our offices in Barbados, France, Greece, Italy, Japan, Korea, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, Sweden, the UK and USA, really appreciate your support and the enor- mously positive feedback that we continually receive. And finally, in the closing editorial for the 1900s, I would like to express how much I wish you all good health and happiness in all your future endeavours. I would normally say "God bless you all", but I remembered that we are already blessed by God—it's just that we don't realise it as much as we probably should. —Dnnean USA OFFICE - 2940 E.
