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 Hx’ again, and welcome to the wide world of NEXUS. One of the topics I've been mean- ing to mention for some time is the subject of sceptics. I have a stack of unsolicited arti- cles and letters tearing apart or exposing sceptics and their various agendas and activities. So why don't I publish them? Well, apart from dignifying a bunch of opinionated and self- appointed experts, the truth is that you and I are already the real sceptics of society! Think about it. We are the people who are sceptical about the official line that UFOs don't exist; we are sceptical that vaccinations are safe and effective; we are sceptical that there is no cover-up on water-fuelled cars or cold fusion; we are sceptical that corporations do not con- spire with governments to milk taxpayers for all they can; we are sceptical that the medical profession has no cures for cancer; we are sceptical of both Creationists' and Darwinists' theo- ries of human origins; we are sceptical of the claims that there is no CIA drug-trafficking; we are sceptical that there is no agenda for global governance via currency control, etc., etc. In fact, we are sceptical about nearly everything the "experts" would have us believe as truth! Those who call themselves sceptics are really not sceptical at all. They believe there are no UFO cover-ups; they believe governments are honest; they believe there is no cold fusion or free energy cover-up; they believe that humans evolved from some primeval soup; they believe that mainstream medicine is the best and only option, while they ridicule acupuncture, homoeopathy and so on They are nothing more than society's self-appointed (and self-aggran- dising) thought-police, attempting to silence any legitimate questioning of mainstream propa- ganda. Sceptics are the ones who would have warned Columbus to stay at home, lest he fall off the edge of the world! But onto other matters at hand. The first part of the article on the "Myths of Vegetarianism" attracted much criticism. Ironically, the article actually helps those who want to stay vegetari- an and improve their health, but it seems that many missed this point entirely. Judging by the tone of language of some of the letters we received, we can dispel another myth. Vegetarians can be just as aggressive as meat-eaters—possibly even more so! Blame it on a vitamin B12 deficiency! Be sure to read the second part this issue. I hope that by the time you read this editorial, peace will have broken out in the Middle East—although, as I write this, it looks nearly impossible. One of my primary concerns regarding the Middle East situation is the appalling ignorance amongst Westerners about why Palestinian Arabs and Israelis are fighting each other. It appears that many people under the age of 30 think it is all a result of religious conflict going back a millennium and more. Most publications are very wary of printing anything on the Middle East for fear of upsetting the immensely powerful Israeli Zionist lobby in their particular country. Since we seem to be upsetting everybody lately, we decided to publish what we think is the most balanced and accurate account of the history of the conflict that we've come across yet. One article that excites me is "Creation by Outside Intervention". Basically, this addresses the most obvious, logical (but unproved) explanation for how humans came into being. It wasn't evolution from mud to monkey to man. It wasn't God doing it over six days. It was due to outside intervention, i.e., extraterrestrial geneticists! No doubt Creationists and Darwinists will soon be uniting to counter this "threat" to their respective dogmas. The Bock Saga of Finland is another intriguing subject. I first heard of it many years ago and have come across related bits and pieces ever since. As far as I'm aware, the article this issue is the first time an attempt has been made to describe this vast saga in print, at least in English. The last surviving descendant is passing on a history purportedly going back to the last Ice Age and possibly well beyond, so time is of the essence. Urine therapy gets another splash this issue (sorry, I couldn't resist that one!). Six years ago we ran the incredible story of an American woman who had been suffering from endometriosis for years. After trying everything mainstream and everything alternative, she tried urine therapy. It cured her within days! Her story inspired many readers to try urine therapy to treat their own ailments. We've since heard of skin cancers that disappeared, AIDS patients who recovered, and a host of other disorders that were alleviated. Urine is not a waste product of the body; it is a by-product of blood filtration. It is your own perfect, bio-individualised medicine—on tap, when you need it! Read the article and judge for yourself. Most readers already know that mobile phones are probably bad for their health, but we hear more and more of the risks that radiation emissions pose for children. If you have a child who uses a mobile phone, you must read the (non-technical) article in Science News.
