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 [ hardly seems like I have just finished writing one editorial before it is time to start the next. I think my body has developed its own circadian rhythm based on a two-monthly cycle. I calculated the other day that I have been working to bimonthly magazine deadlines since 1980—that's 27 years of selecting articles, chasing advertisers and massaging the final production to the printer after all-night work binges. Of course, it is much easier these days: the sheer absence of the smell of solvents from white-out fluid, glues and marker pens from hell reduces hallucinations and voices in the head somewhat. Long live computerisation, I say! Gone are the days when three typewriter "golfballs" determined the range of fonts I could use; and as for right-hand justification of paragraphs—hah! My two-month bio-cycle that has evolved from years of deadline stress brings with it the predictable PMT or PMS (Pre Magazine Tension, or Pre Magazine Stress). On the few days leading up to the actual deadline, I find myself getting irritable and cranky and I am usually made to take vitamin B complex tablets. B vitamins reduce irritability. Read more on this, including on vitamin B12, which is being used in treating mental diseases including Alzheimer's, in Joseph Hattersley's article in this edition. More and more writers these days are helping themselves to the cyber font of all knowledge: Wikipedia. Almost anyone can insert or edit the information in this super "encyberpedia"—rendering it vulnerable to manipulation for propaganda and misinformation. Recently, a breakthrough piece of software, WikiScanner, has allowed us to identify who is changing what. Philip Coppens's article reveals the usual suspects, i.e., government departments, big business and organised religion. In the course of publishing NEXUS, and other magazines prior to this, I have read more than my fair share of article submissions. Many of these articles are often based on the life story of someone or another, and are usually fascinating. Not a lot get published in NEXUS, though, unless they offer something that can benefit our readers. Such is the case with Alfons Ven's story—which various authorities are trying to make sure you don't read. Tf you have a pet, and if you are feeding your pet with processed tinned or dried food, then you need to be told that you are being cruel to your animal. That is one of the messages in the article by vet Tom Lonsdale in this edition. Junk food is causing your loved animal much pain and suffering, and is reducing its lifespan and will cost you lots of extra money in health management fees. So how much do you love your pet? This issue sees the start of a multi-part series of articles examining whether or not Hitler died as the history books describe. New information and new forensic techniques are yielding more questions than answers. NEXUS has recently published several articles showing that religion is nothing more than a corrupt manipulation of history and beliefs designed by the elite to rule the masses. But we have often turned our attention to "modern science" which, at its worst, is nothing more than a corrupt manipulation of history and beliefs designed by the elite to rule the masses. This issue completes the two-part series questioning the validity of Einstein's theories and the motives of those who supported them and put the scientist on a pedestal. In July this year, I had the good fortune to visit England with my family. While visiting my uncle in Cambridgeshire, I found his collection of the I/lustrated London News dating to around the mid-19th century. They make for compelling reading, and contrast enormously in terms of grammar, coverage and information with what we call modern newspapers. It becomes apparent just how "dumbed down" our current newspapers can be compared with those of 150 years ago. Buried inside one newspaper I found a curious item about the Jugglers of Bengal. I decided to revive this long-lost piece of information and have put it into the Twilight Zone section of this issue. Read it, and I'm sure you'll be as amazed as I was. Also while in the UK, we visited Avebury and, of course, any crop circles that could be found in that area. While viewing the controversial crop circle at East Fields, near Alton Barnes, we noticed two military helicopters hovering over the formation and nearby car parks. This edition sees our annual round-up photos as well as news and views compiled by Andy Thomas on this still unexplained phenomenon. And finally, a reminder to those reading this editorial in early October that we still have tickets left for the NEXUS Conference on 20-21-22 October. Hope to see you there!
