Living in a cave as I do, I''d never heard of it until today. It looks to be pretty far out.

Of interest is the article on archaeology (sp?).

From their FAQ:
quote:
#1. The most commonly-asked question sounds something like: "If what you publish is true, why haven't you been closed down?" The answers that spring to mind are: (a) Somebody 'up there' likes us; (b) Nobody 'up there' gives a damn; (c) We are too big to close down without attracting yet more attention; (d) We are too small to worry about; (e) Maybe we are accidentally following some secret sociomanipulative agenda of somebody's; or (f) 'They' have never heard of NEXUS.
I'm betting on (f). I ain't ever heard them before, myself, either.
quote:
#2. The second most frequently-asked question is similar: "Do you ever get any threats?" The answer is definitely no. We have been indirectly warned off publishing too much on the drug trade involvement of the global intelligence community, and about who owns most of Australia, but that's about it.
I thought the United Kingdom owned Australia? Or are they just a commonwealth?
quote:
#3. "Who is 'behind' NEXUS?" The answer to that is easy-it's God! On a more mundane level, though, Catherine and I own NEXUS-no organisation, no committees, no other shareholders, no political leanings or affiliations and no religious leanings or affiliations. It is a business that we believe in!
IOW, they're religious beyond all heck.
quote:
#5. "Will you ever run out of stories?" This one really tickles me. I estimate conservatively that we have two years' worth of stories just in our 'hot' trays, let alone what is in our filing cabinets. To handle the overload we are setting up a Web page on the Internet, and (eventually) publishing some special 'one-offs' on various subjects such as prophecies, science, UFOs, successful cancer treatments, etc
Translation: We make up the stories as we go along.

That''s about what I gathered from briefly skimming the site. I''ve booked marked it to take a better look at it later. Might brighten up a dull day.

Don't you know that Nexus is a tool of the CONSPIRACY?!!!! If we believe everything they say, then we'll be too busy fearing flu shots and alien takeover, and we'll never notice the simple and effective mind control that lets politicians and giant corporations herd us around like sheep by using TV advertisements.
Remember, if you believe that the truth is OUT THERE, your search will distract you from simply sitting down and figuring things out by thinking about them.

I guy I knew had a copy. (He sells herbal supplements. He's making his living selling psuedoscience.) In that issue was article decrying vaccination, vaccination was completely unnecessary, and it's a big government conspiracy (surprise!). Normally I consider people gullible enough to believe this crap as subject to the natural selection process. Thinning the herd, as it were. On the other hand, I don't believe a child should pay for the stupidity of their parents. So I'm in a bit of a moral quandry.

Wiley, I'd say just give the kid the vaccine. Look at it this way: if the kid doesn't get the vaccine and gets the flu, the kid could die. IMO, it's better to err on the side of caution, especially when it comes to one's kids.
