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 It has been a busy few months here at NEXUS head office. Two trade fairs and our annual conference meant I was on the road for a few weeks with our trusty laptop. The Conference in Sydney went off without a hitch, except for the mysterious theft of Mike Ruppert's laptop. The two-day event was fully attended and we have received many letters and emails from satisfied attendees. The next NEXUS Conference is being held in Amsterdam, over the last weekend in March 2003. This is an initiative from Herman Hegge, who runs the NEXUS Europe Office—which is based in a cute Dutch coastal village about one hour's drive from downtown Amsterdam. We have put together a great line-up of speakers, and I get the honour of presenting them to you at the conference itself. This is going to be a unique event which I really hope you can attend. Amsterdam is a very accessible, fun and affordable city to visit. As well as the speak- ers, there will be plenty of stalls and exhibits. See the advert this issue for further details, or visit the website at http://www.nexusconference.com. NEXUS now has an office in Chile, where the magazine is being translated into Spanish. I extend a big welcome to Simon Fuentes and the team in Talca, Chile. If you would like more information on how to obtain the Spanish-language edition, visit their new website at http://www.nexusmagazine.cl. And still on NEXUS-related events, there are a couple of archaeological adventures coming up—this time, being organised and led by David Hatcher Childress. There are two trips on offer: one to the pyramids of Mexico, and the other to "mysterious Peru". I intend to be on the Peru trip, and it would be great to have some NEXUS readers aboard. Visit our website at http://www.nexusmagazine.com for more details. By the time many of you read this editorial, it will be about one year since the horrific events of September 11. We have selected an appropriate and informative overview of how the "war on terrorism" has become the "war on freedom", and we urge you read it. Another issue that's always in the news is "the latest HIV and AIDS statistics". Every few weeks we are told that millions are infected here or there, but is this really the case? Read about the financial, political and medical reasons why these AIDS statistics are likely to be inaccurate and misleading—and, in many cases, are outright lies. Canola oil is another one of those "health choices" foisted on the uninformed by the edible oil industry and its marketing spin doctors. Unfortunately, canola oil is not the good oil that it's made out to be, so read the article this issue and learn why canola should be avoided. "Death by Doctoring" is yet another great contribution from Steven Ransom. For how long are people going to hand over responsibility for their own health to the mainstream medical health system? Articles like this one make you realise that modern medicine has become a modern religion—and a corrupt one at that! Science News has an interesting article, one which represents a new line of exploration in NEXUS. The idea of twin/parallel/alternative universes with "mirrored" matter/antimatter is very exciting. I have half a trayful of unsolicited submissions on this topic alone, from scien- tists all around the globe, so stay tuned for more. The interview with David Adair also interested me immensely. His insights into the Area 51 facility circa 1971, the description of the alien craft which responded to thought, the social mixing with bigwigs in rocket science...what a story; what a life! And finally, I have to confess to tearing up many previous efforts at this editorial. I was sorely tempted to dedicate this entire space to "having a go" at the USA, George W. Bush, the UK, George W. Bush, plus other countries currently raping and pillaging weaker nations, and George W. Bush again. But how could I seriously blame Bush? I mean, he is a complete idiot, and everyone around him knows it. Very few dare point out the obvious any more. Words escaped me so much that, while adrift on a wordless sea of frustration, I discovered the perfect quote to sum up what I feel in my heart. Thank you, Joe McMoneagle, for helping me remember that there is a bigger picture. Danean DISTRIBUTION Seymours, London, UK UK OFFICE - 55 Queens Rd, East Grinstead, West Sussex, RH19 1BG.

The sin - gle biggest threat to almost all developing cultures is currently viewed as being the American Culture. This ideal of American Culture is born out of the issues our own media view as important to us—with a focus on greed, hypocrisy and violence. — Joe McMoneagle WARRANTY AND INDEMNITY Advertisers upon and by lodging material with the Publisher for publication or authorising or approving of the publication of any material INDEMNIFY the Publisher and its servants and agents against all liability claims or proceedings whatsoever arising from the publication and without limiting the generality of the foregoing to indemnify each of them in relation to defamation, slander of title, breach of copyright, infringement of trademarks or names of publication titles, unfair competition or trade practices, royalties or violation of rights or privacy AND WARRANT that the material complies with all relevant laws and regulations and that its publication will not give rise to any rights against or liabilities in the Publisher, its servants or agents and in particular that nothing therein is capable of being misleading or deceptive or otherwise in breach of the Part V of the Trade Practices Act 1974.
