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 Hello again, and welcome to the another info-packed issue of NEXUS Magazine. I hope you are surviving the rigours of globalisation in all its forms. One development of late is that face-recognition software has been combined with video surveillance cameras, and that various police departments are already using it. One day you will tell your chil- dren or grandchildren that you remember the days before "total surveillance". Don't laugh: between videocams, satellites and the Internet, you cannot hide any- where—even in the secret underwater tunnels and bases alluded to by Richard Sauder in his article this issue. What surprises me most about the subject of underwater tunnels is just how advanced the technology is that can drill such things. A lot of the technology has been available and in use for decades—so what have they constructed in secret? As for today's modern satellites, even Russia's Pravda (as you'll read in Global News) has reported that they can monitor the presence and movement of everybody (indoors an out) and can read minds, and more! Maybe they have already read the second part o: Martin Ebon's article on Soviet Mind Power Research! First up, though, we have an important article about "stray" electricity in the ground and its effects on humans and animals. In short, it is very harmful; prolonged exposure can lead to death. Where does this electricity come from, and why haven't we been aware o: this problem before? Read the article! "Mycoplasma" is not a word likely to be used in many conversations, but these ultrami- croscopic life-forms sure are getting around. Researchers have discovered that as well as the naturally occurring varieties, there are also some human-modified types—and they're getting worse. I bet this disease agent does turn out to be the primary mechanism behin AIDS and variant CJD, as Donald Scott suggests in his article. Mad cow disease researchers should particularly note the section on the real origin of kuru in New Guinea. For the "underground mad scientists" out there (isn't this a great term?), we have Gavin Dingley's comprehensive article on Cosmic Energy Receivers; although it sounds "new age", it is not. If you are a fan of Tesla or Moray, then this is another one for you. Due to a spate of protest letters from readers claiming that our Science News articles are too technical, we decided to dive into our files marked "forgotten scientists who did amaz- ing things and deserve to be recognised and remembered". I'm sure you'll agree that these stories are not too technical and that these scientists are worthy of a mention in NEXUS. It seems that almost every week the newspapers announce the finding of some archaeo- logical site that challenges the accepted dogma laid down by the high priests of science. When will they realise that there was a global, high-tech civilisation that existed before the last ice age ended? The ancient civilisation of Sumeria still evokes wonder and awe, but from where did such an advanced culture emerge? And why don't anomalous cases warrant further study? With the collapse of the Iron Curtain, there has been renewed investigation by Western scientists of Central Asian archaeological sites, including an intriguing dig in southern Turkmenistan near the Iranian border. This site is as old as Sumeria and shows evidence of supporting an advanced culture over a long time period. We always have one or two articles that fit into the "unexplained" category. In this issue we feature an article/book extract on African Avatars, and essentially it's about two of Africa's spiritual miracle-men, one of whom, Simeon Toko, died just under 20 years ago. Had Christ already come again and gone? And this time, was He black? We have done what we can to have aspects of this article authenticated and validated, but, as you will read, there is much that remains to be explained. If anyone reading this has anything further to add to this intriguing tale, please let us know so that we can pass it on to our readers. I'm sure you'll agree that the story of Simeon Toko is truly incredible. Still on the unexplained, John Mount's article on Giants takes up all of Twilight Zone this issue. If you are interested in this subject, you might also want to read two books reviewed in these pages: The Franklin Conspiracy, and Giants from the Dreamtime by the indefatigable Rex Gilroy. Finally, I encourage you to join us at the NEXUS Conference in September. With our great line-up of speakers (see the advert/insert inside for details), it should be another memorable event!
