Radio Free Mercury: a project that encourages andencompasses the talents and intellect of various indiviuals all

over Western Civilization. No one has physically met eachother, we exist as a viral meme in the collective conciousnessof the world wide web. Technology is our weapon and Truthour final destination.

Weve studied and probed and discussed for ages. Oureyes were opened, our brains received oil changes and thegrime was wiped off our filters of perception. Weve glimpsedwhats behind the curtain, and depending on who you ask,

its not a pretty sight.Everyday were fighting a memetic war for the hearts andminds of fellow human beings, to counteract the mind con-trol of self- serving governments and influential corporations.Someday we hope to awaken people to their true potential,not as passive consumers, but as active participants in themajesty that is Life. Masters of their own destinies and rulers oftheir own minds.

Using this project as a forum to stimulate the intellect hasbeen our goal for over a year. We hope Radio Free Mercurywill offer new ways of looking at the same problems, to offeralternative ways of thinking. And if were lucky, helping tobring about a total paradigm shift.

Always remember: Think For Yourself.

I live, I love andI breathe. My existence,however abstract and

seemingly meaningless isdriven by the desire to processthe world around me. I want to

interact, you know, I want tobelong. I want to be a leaf

in the tree of life.Trees dry out.

Some don't,

not all of them.It's true. Sorry...

well...continue.

Oh yeah.I want to learn.

And... And I want toteach, when the time

comes.
