Stickers: Property of the Bavarian Illuminati! Ewige Blumenkraft!

Posted by Cory Doctorow, October 16, 2008 11:36 AM | permalink

Matt sez, "In the spirit of accurate labeling, such as 'antibacterial,' 'All-natural,' and 'Now SLOWER and with MORE BUGS!,' I've made these 'Property of the Bavarian Illuminati! Ewige Blumenkraft!' stickers. They should be placed wherever the Illuminati's influence is painfully obvious, yet conspicuously undeclared! They're a homage to one of my favorite authors and a man who knew the value of the absurd, the late Robert Anton Wilson. I'll have them with me at Maker Faire Austin, for anyone who wants a handful!" Accuracy in Labeling — Property of the Bavarian Illuminati (Thanks, Matt!)

The synchronicity is killing me. I just finished my annual reading of the Illuminatus Trilogy.

Now I will have to leave my south Austin sanctuary twice this weekend - too see Bill Burr and get stickers.

I always wanted to make hacking stickers for the grocery store, to be stuck on anything you like, saying "NEW! less lethal formula!"

Wiki on Ewige Blumenkraft (flower power)

Illuminatus! quotes Glass as claiming that the phrase figured in an incident involving Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley and Senator Abraham A. Ribicoff during the 1968 Democratic National Convention. After Ribicoff criticized Mayor Daley for instructing the Chicago Police Department to deal harshly with anti-war demonstrators, Daley shouted something inaudible at Ribicoff, leading to widespread speculation about what Daley had said. The Teenset article, according to Illuminatus!, introduces the novel theory that Daley shouted "Ewige Blumenkraft!" -- presumably marking Daley as a member of the Illuminati.

Obama is a product of the Chicago political machine. Leading to the inescapable conclusion that Obamam is the Illuminati's choice for president.

My roommate recently compiled some really cool Illuminati inspired art on her blog.
