Editorial Welcome to the latest issue of NEXUS Magazine. First up, if you don't want to hear about September 11, then skip this editorial. If I don't address this subject, I will get zillions of emails ask- ing why. Plus, I want to get this off my chest anyhow. As you can imagine, we have been inundated with correspondence and material on the events before, during and after September 11. Strangely enough, on the Tuesday night I was in a hotel room in Sydney and was actually watching the initial footage on CNN as they focused on the first WTC tower fire. CNN was just getting reports that maybe a helicopter had collided with the tower, causing the explosion and fire. As I watched the amazing sight of the first tower on fire, I noticed a plane in the background, about to fly behind the second tower. It never came past; instead, a fireball mushroomed out of the second tower. It took a little time before the reporter realised what they'd captured on film. This happened three days before our annual NEXUS Conference was due to start, and as a result nearly half of our speakers were stranded in the USA, unable to fly anywhere. We have now rescheduled the Conference for May 25-26, 2002. See our website or the advert in this issue for information. I note with trepidation that the gulf between the manufactured reality presented in the mainstream media and the actual facts of the events is widening at an alarming pace. In the "alternative" media world, I notice that many researchers are uncovering the following: * There was a build-up of anti-Taliban media items before September 11, including the item men- tioned in Global News last issue which revealed that 60 Minutes had broadcast a (deliberately?) incorrect translation in their beat-up on Islamic suicide bombers. * There was a considerable number of big-name companies trading stocks, shares and put options on the foreknowledge of the WTC event, especially in the airline sector. It was widely known in India before September that the US was planning to attack the Taliban in October. * There is still only vague circumstantial evidence as to who is responsible for the attacks. We have to rely on the CIA, FBI, etc. telling us the truth. This is difficult, given the vested oil interests of Bush and Cheney as well as the UK in that part of the world. There is enough oil in the Caspian Sea region to last hundreds of years at our present rate of consumption, according to some estimates. + Evidence suggests that the bin Ladens and the Bush/Cheneys have done much business together, and that American, British and Pakistani intelligence helped create and train both Taliban and asso- ciated "terrorist/freedom fighter" networks such as al-Qaeda. There is evidence to suggest that the hijackers themselves may have been hijacked. The planes could have been remote-controlled, but this implies a high-level "inside job". Many pilots refuse to believe the alleged hijackers were capable of flying the craft in the manner they were flown. Even the FBI says 11 of the 19 hijackers did not plan on suicide. Regardless of who, what or why, September 11 has become a "trigger" event for things to come. Many consider Big Brother has taken one big step closer, with the loss of civil liberties and increased "big brother" technology, surveillance and police powers upon us. Suddenly, huge vol- umes of "anti-terror" laws are found drafted, ready for government approval. More ominously, the weaponisation of space is taking a significant step forward under the guise of "national security" (watch this one!). Other points of view sent to NEXUS Magazine include reminders that humanity has an opportu- nity to learn from this tragedy so that it never happens again. Learn not to hate, but to love. Learn what our governments are doing in foreign countries in our name, and thus why hatred of the West is growing. One thing I have learned and seen for myself is that this "hatred of the West" exists not because we are "free" (which is questionable anyway), but it exists because our governments and military help transnational corporations rape other countries, leaving their people to live in horrific condi- tions. If the people dare stand up and object, they are "destabilised" (read "bombed") by the West or by their neighbours, or by some other budding puppet dictator inside their own country. We elect these governments, we buy the products from these transnationals, and then we wonder why mil- lions of people want to stand up and say, "Stop this, please!" And if bin Laden's terrorists did fly those planes, how is President George W. Bush now any dif- ferent, given that he is also killing innocent civilians? How sad it is that the West's official response to "terror" is more terror. Is this what we want to teach our children? I think not! Sigh...I've run out of room again! Apart from asking you to read the other articles in this issue, I would like to wish you all a safe and happy festive season.
