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 Wiens to yet another jam-packed edition of NEXUS Magazine. Events seem to be stepping up around the world, as you will see reflected within the contents of this issue. First up, though, is to let you know that our annual NEXUS Conference will be held on the weekend of September 15-16 at the Gazebo Hotel, Elizabeth Bay, Sydney. We'll publish a list of confirmed speakers in the next issue. If you are interested in com- ing along, please drop us a line, send an e-mail (editor@nexusmagazine.com), etc. to let us know. Several articles this edition are worthy of far more attention than the media are giving them. Foremost amongst them is the GATS, the General Agreement on Trade in Services, which in my opinion is more insidious and threatening than the MAI. It is yet another corporate-driven attempt to privatise all services ranging from health, transport, prisons and water supply. In fact, we are so concerned about what is happening regarding the pri- vatisation of water that we commissioned an article specifically on this topic. I'm sure there are already many readers who are aware of the effects of water privatisation on their community in terms of deteriorating water quality with simultaneous price increases. The article on the hurricane Andrew cover-up is also a must-read. You may wonder what on Earth could be covered up after a hurricane, but I guarantee you will be shocked when you read this. While we'll never know the true death toll (the "official" toll is any- where between 15 and 59 people, but the true figure is in the many thousands), I couldn't help but wonder about the coincidental Florida link in the recent US election. You see, the uncounted thousands of dead were from South Dade County—part of the same area of Florida where the outcome of the US election was decided. Interestingly, I have seen claims on the Internet that thousands of people were trucked into the Dade County area to vote for Bush. But there's more. It really chilled me to discover that at a time of global media attention on hurricane Andrew's aftermath, such a massive cover-up has occurred. It was stunning- ly simple; the authorities just roped off a huge area and would not let people in or out. The survivors inside that area were not rescued; they were left to fend for themselves in an area that had become radioactive and overrun by primates which had escaped from a near- by secret research lab. The "rescuers" simply came in and removed thousands of bodies and body parts and disposed of them. No food, water or medical attention was given to these survivors. Thi: an unbelievable account, told by one of the few who lived to tell of the horror and betrayal. We are pleased to have a contribution from Sherrill Sellman once again, this time about breast cancer. At last, some experts are now saying that mammograms are a likely cause of many cases of breast cancer. Readers may recall Sherrill's groundbreaking articles on HRT, the Pill, oestrogen/progesterone imbalances, etc. North American readers take note that Sherrill is currently touring the USA to spread the word on women's health issues and promote her book, Hormone Heresy. Another intriguing topic is the expanding Earth scenario, the only one to fit all the emerging scientific data. Your interest in this subject has prompted us to run a follow-up to the first article which appeared in NEXUS 7/06. Armageddon watchers are commenting in Internet chat groups about the growing num- ber of "plagues" affecting the world. Foremost on many minds at present are mad cow disease and its human variant, vCJD, and also foot-and-mouth disease. Lynette Dumble contacted us recently to offer an update on the BSE situation around the globe. Clearly, there are still many concerns over what we are not being told. On the other hand, foot-and-mouth disease is relatively harmless to animals (they can recover if given the time)—about as serious as a bad cold is to humans. Are you as sur- prised as I was by this? I saw a London Times article about it and checked further. Sure enough, the foot-and-mouth disaster is a profit-driven disaster. There is no significant biological threat to animals or humans. See the item in Global News for yourselves. Moving into the world of cosmic conspiracies, Twilight Zone this issue has an interest- ing review of the WingMakers story and materials—and, yes, more information has been released.
