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 information 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 s it just me, or does time appear to be speeding up? Maybe I'm just doing more and more things, and so it just seems that way. After all, the speed of life is quite different from in days gone by. But one thing is for sure: everyone I know has the feeling that time is "quickening". Even my children are commenting on it. I got an email suggesting that in my editorials I should write from the heart as well as discuss what's in the magazine. So I'm sitting here thinking: what is in my heart that I can write about? What does it mean to "write from the heart"? I know the sender of that email is onto something, because the darned phrase has been rattling around my head for days. And when something rattles around your head or heart for days, you know you're meant to take notice of it (obviously). So what do I say? I mean, the information that I wade through every day really excites me. We are in times of great and profound change, and it is the beliefs that people choose to adopt that determine where we go, both individually and as groups. I get really excited by finding what I think is important information, offering it to readers who are not aware of it and then seeing how they respond to it. One of the things that irks me at present is this constantly reinforced message that there are "terrorists" out there, plotting and planning to destroy our democratic lifestyle. Please, dear readers, remember that every single "terrorist" organisation out there is infiltrated or run by some country's security or intelligence agency. Every single one of them! When a terrorist operation is set up, it is more often than not orchestrated by the nation with the most at stake. The war on terror is a hoax, a cover under which the public is being forced to give up personal and civil liberties—all because of fear. The first article in this edition highlights details of the hidden agendas behind the fight to control what's left of the world's natural resources. And speaking of which, I notice the war drums beating and fear-mongering over Iran. While the mainstream media outlets are full of stories about Iran's supposed intransigence over nuclear issues, the Internet is buzzing with speculation about what will happen when Iran opens its oil bourse and starts to sell oil in euros. The big questions are: will America attack Iran and, if so, who will side with whom? For the US to attack Iran with any sem- blance of moral justification, and to have international support, there will have to be a trig- ger event of significant magnitude that affects many nations. The date that Iran is sched- uled to open its oil bourse is 20 March, and it will have passed by the time you read this. Fear is also the result of the hype about bird flu. I mean, have you ever seen such a planned event? Waves of meetings, conferences and media warnings over the last two to three years have convinced most people that a pandemic is inevitable. People generally are more scared of disease than terrorists and will more readily give up personal and civil lib- erties if told to do so by "experts". Forced vaccinations, quarantines, travel restrictions and more are just a lab accident away, or worse. How many times have you read of an earthquake happening somewhere, with no casual- ties save for one or two people who died of a heart attack? I've read of many such cases, and I got to wondering whether the heart attacks were the result of magnetic field changes rather than fear or shock. But that's another story. To cut a long editorial short, in this issue we have an article about people who manifest physical health symptoms like ear tones and dizziness prior to earthquakes. Some of these "sensitives" are so finely tuned with their symptoms that they can tell where a quake will hit, when it will hit and what its magnitude will be. They can tune into mysterious Earth signals that until recently have been barely known to science. Meanwhile, I have been spending some of that precious time compiling a special issue full of my favourite NEXUS articles on all things unexplained and mysterious. There are prophecies, strange creatures, subterranean mysteries, crop circles, giants, UFOs, ETs and more. This compendium is called Strange Times and is available at newsagents in Australia or from your nearest NEXUS office. At the time of writing, we are advanced in our plans to hold a three-day NEXUS Conference in Vancouver, Canada, over the weekend of 29/30 September to | October.
