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 t is hard to imagine that just a few weeks ago | was clambering through tunnels and shafts of the Great Pyramid, cruising the Nile and haggling with street vendors. What can | say to you, except that the "Mysterious Egypt" trip with John Anthony West was way above my expectations. Everything—the organisational details for our group of thirty, the temples and tombs, the food, the people in our group plus the locals—was just fantastic. | could go on and on, but suffice it to say that we all had a great time. If you feel a desire to visit Egypt—and you want to do so with like-minded people, in style and comfort, and with a switched-on tour guide who gives quality time at each site—then go on one of John Anthony West's trips. He does several per year, and they are worth every cent! If there's not an advert in this edition, | suggest you visit his website at www.trueorigins.net/jaw/travel.htm. Catherine and | also visited Turkey prior to meeting the group in Cairo. We only had a few days, so we decided to relax and explore Istanbul. During this time we met up with Haktan Akdogan, Turkey's high-profile UFO researcher/TV presenter. It looks like NEXUS will soon have a Turkish edition to include in our foreign- language stable. The subject of UFOs has left its mark of late on the media, at both ends of the spectrum. A few weeks ago, an obscure UFO group that hardly anyone had ever heard of announced dramatically that it was folding due to a lack of UFO reports. Naturally, the mainstream media reported it all around the world, thus creating the impression that UFOs are a non-event. But when UFOs hover over the world's largest city for hours on end in broad daylight, in full view of hundreds of thousands of people—as they did in Mexico City in the early 1990s—the media silence is deaf- ening. The UFO Disclosure Project held its press conference on 9 May at the National Press Club in Washington, DC, where over 20 military, intelligence, government, corporate and scientific witnesses testified to the reality of UFOs/extraterrestrial vehicles, alien life-forms and advanced energy and propulsion technologies. Nearly all mainstream media organisations have run stories, most of them neutral to posi- tive. So far, the Washington Post is the only media outlet | have seen run a sneering story, written by one Joel Achenbach. Joel probably expected the rest of the ratpack to follow suit; but surprisingly, other media organisations have treated the Disclosure Project with almost an air of respect. Is this a sign of change in media reporting? We hope so! Meanwhile, we have plenty of thought-provoking material in this edition. Our first feature is a summary of Project Censored’s top 25 under-reported news stories for 1999/2000. (Maybe one day Project Censored will realise that the UFO phe- nomenon is an under-reported news story, too!) This issue sees plenty of Russian material, ranging from Soviet-era research into mind-power to Russian underwater UFOs. All very fascinating! Free energy research also gets a good serve in this edition—and without lots of technical-looking diagrams! Peter Lindemann has submitted a thought-provoking and informative article on why we all don't have free-energy-powered homes and cars—yet. And the legendary Jerry Decker of KeelyNet has let us publish his excel- lent piece, "Something from Nothing, Revisited". If you've never read a science arti- cle before, please make sure you read these two; you will then have a good overview of the true status of free energy research across the globe. Another of the must-read articles this issue is "Milking the Truth". Not only does it highlight how dangerous genetically engineered bovine growth hormones are to cows—and to humans who drink their milk—it also reveals disturbing insights into how media organisations gag, spin and distort the truth. Fortunately in this case, the two reporters refused to change their story, resulting in an embarrassing court case for Fox TV and bad publicity for Monsanto. Until next time, our best regards to you all.
