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 Conspiracies and conspiracy theories are subjects which the mainstream media still quickly dismiss as nonsensical, associating them with right-wing extremists as much as possible. But conspiracies, by their very definition, seem to be part of human nature, let alone human history. Brothers and sisters conspire against each other and their par- ents; businesses conspire against other businesses; politicians conspire against other politi- cians; and countries conspire against other countries. To believe otherwise is to live in fantasyland. At school we are taught that history is full of conspiring individuals, tribes and nations, but somehow we are led to believe that all significant conspiracies vanished after World War II. One glaring conspiracy is the cover-up on UFOs. I am convinced that key elements of the military/intelligence community in all industrialised nations are withholding important information on the nature of UFOs. Given the fact that elected (and puppet) governments are fairly transient, I doubt that many politicians are ‘in the ‘loop' on the subject. I suspect that the key executive-level public servants of many governments are privy to it, as are key executive officers of most major defence-industry-related companies. Then, of course, there are the UFO witnesses and experiencers who are rapidly growing in number. The big question in many NEXUS readers’ minds is, "Why the silence?" Ironically, the lack of 'official' explanation or even interest in UFOs creates an information vacuum wherein conspiracy theories find nourishment. Opinion polls show that the majority of the world's Western populations now believe that UFOs are likely to be real, and, impor- tantly, that information about them is being suppressed by 'the government’. It is just a matter of time before the number of videotaped encounters increases to the point where an official 'statement' is warranted. I wonder what the 'spin' on that moment will be? Are UFOs just secret government experiments, or do we really have cosmic neighbours? One thing is for sure: the world will change forever on that day. I suspect that the globalisa- tion agenda is of more immediate importance to those who are in the position to decide what UFO information is released and when. I'll wager that soon after we arrive at a glob- alised, cashless economy with harmonised trading blocks, that is the time when there'll be a major release of UFO information. In the meantime, we are pleased to present another two months' worth of food for your brain. The Bush-Cheney Drug Empire article will not surprise regular readers. Now that the Bush family, its associates and backers have consolidated their hold in the United States, you can expect some rapid action. Read the article to see what I mean. We cover several important health-related subjects this issue. One article exposes the global agenda to put irradiated food on our plates, and another discusses beta-glucan, a natural extract which can boost the immune system. The article on animal experimenta- tion shows that, apart from the moral and ethical concerns, there is just no scientific basis for using animals to test drugs and products for human use. It is fatally clear that testing on animals ultimately kills thousands of humans. The practice is purely money-driven now, so read the article and then tell companies which test on animals that you will no longer buy their products! Consumers do have power—if they use it! A phenomenon which has teased and tantalised people for centuries is ball lightning. Recently, some US researchers reinterpreted some of Dr Nikola Tesla's notes and worked out how to make their own ball lightning. The details are in Science News this issue. We are also pleased to give attention to Dr Paul Violette's excellent work—in particu- lar, his research on the periodic explosions at the centres of galaxies. If you think we are not affected by these events, read the article and think again. Scientists and prophecy- watchers alike will find themselves shifting uncomfortably in their seats after reading this. Readers interested in ancient mysteries and the unexplained will appreciate our new series, starting this issue, on mysterious civilisations and races inside the Earth. Why do so many cultures have legends of subterranean beings, and why are they so alike? Finally, I must mention the "Garlic is Bad for You" items. Having been alerted to com- ments made by Dr Bob Beck (of "Beck Zapper" fame), we are now looking around for more on this subject. Read Letters to the Editor first, then the item in Global News, and contact me if you have comments or information to pass on. Till next time...
