JebWorld: Coming to a State Near You





This is from the book The Good Citizen's Alphabet by Bertrand Russell, with illustrations by Franciszka Themerson. (Written in 1970) L is for LIBERTY in this picture.


I took it through a link provided by Chris Floyd in his very good article Bearing False Witness: A New Tool for Authoritarians.
In this article Floyd explains that Florida has a bill, where if it is passed, police will be able to tamper with evidence (by rewriting history) and he calls it JebWorld. Jeb may not be Governor, but this is not a good sign.
Now before you think JebWorld is Rational and Liberty means the right to obey the police, please realize the definitions are meant as a joke.
