With this in mind, NEXUS seeks to provide ‘hard-to-get’ information so as to assist people through these| stage NEXUS is not linked to any religious, philosophical of political ideology or organisation. PERMISSION-TO-REPRODUCE POLICY While reproduction and dissemination of the information in NEXUS 1s actively encouraged, anyone caught making a buck out of it, without our express permission, will be in trouble when we catch them! Editorial W: all know that times are changing, but, after the quickest two months I've ever experienced, I'm beginning to wonder whether time itself is changing, too. Change is certainly coming to print media in a big way. For example, the death of the newspaper is now being touted in many countries— and some say the death of the magazine will follow. Now, before I hear you say "But I will always prefer reading a paper or magazine with coffee", let me clearly iterate that this is not happening because of paper or magazine purchasing preferences by readers and consumers; it is being driven by the fact that people are using the Internet, instead of newspapers, for classified advertising. And for those who don't yet know this, a newspaper's real financial worth is the revenue derived from its classified advertisements. So when that dries up, you have either super-expensive newspapers or none at all. The general-interest magazine categories, however, are dying. Why? Because in this information-flooded day and age, people are able, and prefer, to spend time on the specialised topics of their choice. And as for books, well, I think that it will be a long time before the sheer pleasure of snuggling up with a good book is replaced by reading it on a computer screen or having it downloaded directly into your brain via satellite. Speaking of snuggling up to a good read, allow me to introduce you to some of the topics covered in this issue of NEXUS. First up, we have an article which reveals the slow path towards microchipping the population "for their own good". Although the day is not yet here, it is still worth considering what you will do in the future when you are told that you must be chipped—or be denied government and public services, i.e., not allowed to buy or sell, travel on roads, planes or trains, go to hospitals, schools, etc. Next, we have a mind-boggling article on the latest developments with Codex Alimentarius. Codex is now more than just an assault on the natural health movement; it's an assault on the freedom to grow and eat natural foods. Yes, that's right: they want to remove vitamins and minerals from food sold commercially, and then irradiate the food for good measure. For those who are sceptical, consider that this already applies to milk from cows or goats in most western nations. You can milk the animal, but you cannot legally sell the milk unless it is pasteurised. In Australia, you are not even allowed to give raw milk away unless it has been "treated". On the more positive side in terms of articles, we have an interview that addresses the "solution" to the problems above. Rather than fighting the "old system" (where you become that which you fight, anyway), millions of people around the world are creating a "new system", inspired by the writings and ideas found in the Ringing Cedars books from Russia. On a practical level, thousands of people are "going back to the land" and growing their own food and providing their own shelter, spreading love of the Earth as they grow. We hope to report on developments of this nature that are happening in other parts of the world in future issues of NEXUS. As usual, there are many other important topics herein: a most interesting look at how and why the Earth "flips", "tilts" and "reverses spin" (sounds like a politician, doesn't it?); the latest Crop Circle season in the UK; and revelations by ex-NASA spacecraft operator Clark McClelland on how he watched an ET assist NASA astronauts on one of their Space Shuttle missions; and more.
