LEMURIA AND ATLANTIS: Studying the Past to Survive the Future by Shirley Andrews Llewellyn Publishers, USA, 2004 ISBN 0-7387-0397-4 (257pp tpb) Availability: Llewellyn Worldwide, http://www. llewellyn.com Pers together humanity's distant past is one of our great challenges, and Shirley Andrews manages to make a little more sense of the world pre-10,000 BC by draw- ing together evidence for contemporaneous ancient civilisations in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, namely Mu (or Lemuria) and Atlantis, which met their final demise in a cataclysm at the end of the last ice age. Megalithic ruins (above ground and sub- merged), cave artefacts and local legends lend credence to this view, but Andrews also relies on psychic descriptions in her new book, Lemuria and Atlantis (a follow-up to Atlantis: Insights from a Lost Civilization). Her primary source of information from the psychic realm comes from readings by the famous American seer Edgar Cayce, who spoke of the lost continent of Atlantis having existed in the Atlantic Ocean—and the submerged megalithic ruins found in the Greater Bahamas would seem to confirm his assertion to some extent. Her other sources come from people who have written to her with their dreams and memories of past lives in Lemuria and Atlantis. These certainly extend the paradigm, but such accounts tend not to be accepted in the scholarly world. Academia is yet to explain the vast, semi- submerged basalt constructions on Nan Madol in the West Pacific, or the same sorts of spiral carvings found from the Pacific Islands to the Loltun caves in the Yucatan Peninsula to the Canary Islands and beyond. @ REVIEWS From the evidence, Andrews concludes that the Lemurian civilisation—with its spiritual- ity, symbology, architecture, technology and vibrational healing techniques—spread as far west as Tibet and east to the Americas, where it merged with the Atlantean civilisa- tion as it was moving further west, both groups escaping cataclysmic earth changes. This multifaceted approach has relevance for how we view our past and our future. covert climate control agenda or constitutes biological warfare against the people—or both. Year by year, the evidence is growing for the reality of this covert chemtrails pro- ject, and increasing numbers of highly trained personnel are speaking out about their observations. But until the authorities ‘fess up, the chemtrails phenomenon and the motive for producing it are subjects of much speculation. The late Dr Edward Teller in 1998 suggested placing a "sunscreen" above Earth to reflect sunlight and reduce global warming (if this were indeed the problem), yet the chemtrails phenomenon was being noticed years beforehand. In fact, weather modification has been conducted for decades and seems to have been ramped up a few notches with the establishment of the HAARP ionospheric experiment in Alaska. As the mainstream media are ignoring chemtrails, it is up to independent journalists like Thomas to find out what we need to know. He also suggests actions we can take at the political level as well as at the person- al level in terms of boosting our health. CHEMTRAILS CONFIRMED by William Thomas Bridger House Publishers, USA, 2004 ISBN 1-893157-10-5 (325pp tpb) Availability: Bridger House Publishers, Inc., tel 1800 729 4131 (toll free), http://www.willthomas.net ince the mid-1990s, people across the USA and other parts of the world includ- ing Australia, Canada, Europe and the UK have been looking up at the sky and observ- ing military transport planes creating criss- crossing contrails that eventually merge in a haze from horizon to horizon. They've seen these planes spraying substances at low alti- tude, when civilian aircraft flying much higher have left no such condensation trails. Thousands have become ill as a result of the fallout from these "chemtrails", reporting diverse reactions such as respiratory distress, pneumonia, gastrointestinal problems, lethargy and nosebleed. Substances like alu- minium oxide, bacteria and mycoplasma have been identified in the chemtrail fallout. NEXUS readers may recall several articles on chemtrails that we've run by researcher William Thomas (see 8/06, 7/02, 6/03). In Chemtrails Confirmed, Thomas further examines the questions he has posed as to whether this phenomenon is part of some NEXUS = 69 DECEMBER 2004 — JANUARY 2005 www.nexusmagazine.com
