You can find Nexus Magazine in your local health food store. It
looks like another flying saucer and pyramid power "New Age" mag full of
conspiracy theories and alternative health care advice. But sitting tucked away
next to the voices of the great pyramid and the dangers of electro-magnetic
exposure we have the blatant propaganda of the fascist extreme right. Take a
look at the June-July `95 edition and you'll find for starters, an editorial
column that claims the Oklahoma bombing was masterminded by the CIA: there was a
second bomb and Timothy McVeigh, the man charged with the bombing carries an
implant put there by the military to control him. That's right, Nexus seriously
wants us to believe the US government blew up one of its own office blocks plus
a day-care centre full of kids. This is material direct from the right-wing
extremist militia's of the US and further justification for the militia's arming
up against the total government control that the US government is supposedly
putting into place. While the truth is that it was the paranoid, conspiracy
fantasies of the militia's which led directly to the bombing. Nexus also carries
an article entitled "Big Brother's Recipe for Revolution" which details the
supposed impending government control in six conspiracy filled pages. The
magazine is also replete with references to the "New World Order" - an old
standard bogey for the extreme right, as it is the "New World Order" which will
supposedly bring this total government control. Any lingering doubts about the
attitude of Nexus to the fascist right is made clear in the ad's carried in the
mag. Next to the ad's for hypnotherapy courses and books on UFO's we have a
special offer to Nexus readers, two for the price of one, for purchacing a copy
of "The Fine Print" by Sydney's own Brian Willshire. This book is a veritable
catalogue for the conspiracy theories of the extreme right and is a basic text
for right wing groups here in Australia. Nexus also carries ad's for Veritas
Press, the publishing house for the Australian League of Rights. The presence of
right wing propaganda in Nexus goes way beyond niavity or unawareness on behalf
of the publishers. It goes beyond the sympathy that New Age conspiracy nuts
might feel for another bunch of conspiracy nuts. Nexus is knowingly involved in
spreading the fundamental tenets of the new fascists and is propounding their
propaganda as gospel. So do your bit, get Nexus out of your local health food
store and off the shelves where ever you see it and act against the rising voice
of the new fascists.
