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 W: have lots of great articles again in this edition, with a couple I wish to comment on. Our series on the Port Arthur Massacre continues, giving yet more reasons why we should doubt the official story. For those overseas readers to whom the incident means little, let me condense it for you. A massacre occurred in 1996 in a distant part of the country, which led to the immediate introduction of laws designed to remove guns from Australian citizens. Ten years later, too few people dare to question the official version of what happened. I expected some flak from the publication of part one in our last edition, but all I have received is support via letters and emails, so we have gone ahead with part two and expect to run at least one more instalment. We also have part two of Peter Dale Scott's lengthy exposé on international drug- trafficking, gun-running and staged violence which also points the figure at certain intelligence agencies. Many readers already recognise my repeated reminder: terrorist groups are all state sponsored; they are not spontaneous uprisings of annoyed residents. Every terrorist group is run by a state agency and is used to manipulate the masses of target countries, causing the introduction of draconian new laws and/or military control. Our leading health article this issue tackles the issue of obesity. Americans are leading the fat race, but Australians, Russians, Germans, Czechs, Britons and Canadians are catching up. And it looks like there's no sign of the trend stopping. In fact, more and more people who are living in industrialised societies and eating "low-fat" or "no-fat" foods are just getting fatter and fatter. When will we realise that if we eat the proper fats we will lose weight and restore good health? I consider myself as "slim". When I travel to Europe, I am perceived as a "normal-weight" person; but when I travel to America, people think I am either an AIDS victim or on chemotherapy! This issue we also raise the alarm on the hundreds of thousands of people around the globe who have died from, or are still suffering from, the largely unrecognised side effects of dyes used in spinal X-ray imaging. The chemical cocktail is corrosive and eats away the nerves and organs, causing excruciating pain for the victims. Unfortunately, few doctors even know about this problem and can easily misdiagnose it. The subject of communicating with recently deceased loved ones is of immense interest to many people. Some time ago we heard about a new technique designed to overcome grief and allow people, without hypnosis, to see/feel/hear the deceased. Our article this edition has astounding implications for psychotherapy, healing and much more. The response from our earlier article on the dark side of Tibetan Buddhism has prompted us to take some of the issues raised a bit further. All is not love and light with Tibetan Buddhism; it is a religion/belief system that has been used for political purposes and to manipulate the mas 's alone in this; religion can be a tool anywhere). 's (not that it's The Twilight Zone section sees three curious items. First up, we have tales of winged humanoids. To the gentle sceptics among you, let me point out that the sheer number of sightings from multiple witnesses and from people who have never before even read/heard of such creatures is huge. The similarity of the creatures reported indicates a phenomenon that should be taken more seriously. Second, we have a report on how, in various parts of the world, fairies, elves and "little people" are taken so seriously by locals that entire road- building projects and housing developments have had to be changed to accommodate these supposedly non-existent beings. I have a pile of clippings about this trend from Sweden, Ireland, Scotland and Iceland. Over the years, people have learnt to co-exist with these beings, and now planning guidelines are accommodating them. The third item is about two brothers from Brittany who appear to have lived for centuries. The testimony given is detailed enough that it might elicit further info from our readers in France. On a final note in this editorial, I would like to honour my mother, Treenie Roads, who died suddenly in June. To the many people who expressed their condolences by phone, card and email, I thank you. Things like this really test one's beliefs and emotions about death and loss.
