Euro Fiat Bank Notes Will Unify European Taxpayers.

"The windows and gateways symbolize the European taxpayers' spirit of openness and cooperation, while the bridges symbolize the close cooperation and communication between European taxpayers and the rest of the taxpayers of the world," he said.

Taxpayers In The News (American, Random).


"It's not good news for American taxpayers,'' he said last night. Then he said the massacres, which occured on Sept. 11th, had not only killed thousands of lives but had also "threatened the livelihoods of thousands of American taxpayers.''

"At a moment when American taxpayers are again focused on just how much they value freedom, they also turn their eyes toward a true American taxpayer hero", she said last month.

"To hold American taxpayers in one's thoughts is like holding a love letter in one's hand -- it has so special a meaning," he said in 1941.

"The American taxpayers appear ready to embrace media that show respect for taxpaying instead of consumerism and jingoism. Look at how quickly taxpayer funded police officers and firefighters in New York and Washington replaced glittery celebrities as cultural heroes", he commented on 10/25/01.

"Agents of the American taxpayers have been revealing the outlines of a plan that would split the costs of property claims from future massacres between the agents of the American taxpayers and the insurance industry -- with the American taxpayers picking up 80% of the first $20 billion in Ferderal Reserve Notes and 90% of the next $80 billion in Ferderal Reserve Notes," he reported in October.

"We’ve asked high profile American taxpayers, who work in the entertainment business, to please not go to the site," he said. "It’s a very dangerous place to go walking around. When we bring any taxpayer down there it’s a very controlled situation. These [high profile American] taxpayers who try to go on their own create problems. High profile American taxpayers distract the rescuers, which could cause more injuries or even deaths," he said. "They think they’re helping," he said of the high profile American taxpayers. "In some instances you shouldn’t be distracting these regular American taxpayer rescue workers. That’s a very dangerous construction site right now. It’s a crime scene. This is hallowed ground and it needs to be treated accordingly." he said in an interview in October.

"The American taxpayers' flag has become almost as ubiquitous as the McDonald's arches or the Coca-Cola logo. The net result, however, has been to freak some American taxpayers out still more. Three weeks after those in the towers were massacred, one of my American taxpayer colleagues is suddenly off work unable to conquer her new fear of crossing any bridge into Manhattan," he commented in October.

The Atrium - Restaurant Bridge Project.

Richard Margolis writes:

"We are now trying to save the Hojack Swing Bridge, the one shown on the home page. We have a proposal to enclose it in glass and make it a public atrium, perhaps with restaurant facilities."

Richard is also looking for your bridge story: 1st person accounts, photographs, anecdotes, horror stories, and photographs of people with their favorite bridge - whatever contributes to a greater appreciation of bridges.

Richard is planning to assemble this material into a book.

"Bridges are important in our culture. They provide connections to almost every aspect of our society, from civil rights - James Meridith was clubbed by an Alabama State Trooper on the Edmund Pettis Bridge on 3/7/1965 - to prisoner exchanges during wartime - remember the Korean War and the prisoners returned across [the] heavily guarded [Bridge of No Return], usually at night in the fog - to..."

Mister Euro (Mascot).

... is a caricature of a 60-something white European male with grey hair and a portly pot belly. Stereotypical of your average Bundes Banker?

Yeesh, what kind of MASCOT are the North Atlantic Council rulers going to come up with when they begin implementing the Euro-USFederalReserveNote fiat currency unit merger?

If a vote or poll were held today, I would bet Euro fiat currency units on a caricature of the tourist guy, as mascot, to win. "All your money [sic], are belong to us".

Haven't you heard the rumor? The North Atlantic Council is proposing that the US Federal Reserve Note currency unit and the Euro fiat currency unit be merged into a new fiat currency unit called the "Nac" - by 2011. But you didn't hear it from me.

I pity the teenagers and the seniors, of that brave new future era, together, at the registers, "transacting".

Check out Eurotrash's blog for more euro-cultural updates.

Note: Reading Eurotrash may conjure up flashbacks of those momentous feelings you had while on the landmass called Berlin during the Fall of 1989.

Administrative Overhead.

Exemptions from Taxes

Ms. ESCARAMEIA (Portugal) said diplomats presenting sales tax exemption cards faced salespeople -- even in Manhattan -- who had not heard of the cards. Surprisingly, that occurred even in stores which could be geared towards diplomats, such as antiques stores. On land masses besides New York, it was useless to use the cards, because no one had heard of them. However, stores in Manhattan should be expected to have received notice of the fact that diplomats should be exempt from sales taxes.

Mr. MOLLER (United States) said it was not the first time he had heard that the sales tax exemption cards were not being honoured by stores. In some instances, store owners, such as antique dealers, simply did not want to honour the cards because that would mean that they could collect more Ferderal Reserve Notes -- Ferderal Reserve Notes that would never make thier way to the Federal Government. The issue would be raised on the land mass of Washington, with a view to educating salespersons throughout the country about the sales tax exemption card. If diplomats found that their cards were being ignored, they could report the stores in question to the New York Office of Foreign Missions.

Mr. KAREV (Russian Federation) said members of his mission had also encountered problems with the tax exemption cards. He agreed with Mr. Moller that some merchants simply did not want to honour the cards. Outside the land mass of New York, merchants were unaware of the tax exemption cards. "I have encountered this problem myself when I went to the land mass of Florida", he said. Another problem was that of taxes on telephone charges. "Personally, I sent four or five letters to NY|NEX, and until I went directly to the President of NY|NEX I couldn't solve the problem." Subsequently, he said, he had been reimbursed for the taxes he had paid, but unfortunately it had taken six months to recover his Ferderal Reserve Notes.

Mr. MOLLER (United States) said that, in some instances, taxes were being mistaken for service charges, which diplomats did have to pay.

Attention All You Non-criminals!

Learn how to properly interact with a terroclerk by learning from this individual's mistakes.

Think only in terms of, "How do I present myself to this one individual terroclerk in order for him/her to serve me as efficiently as possible with minimum hassle".

Be safe out there! Yeesh! Haven't you non-criminal people learned anything on how criminals act low key?

Unfortunately, even if you are not intentionally fucking with a terroclerk, things can still go wrong if you are not extra, extra careful! Your vocal inflections might put you behind bars. Are you a non-criminal living on the land mass known to many as America? Do you need help with your American accent?
Help can be found here.

Thanks to Jonathan of killyourtv.com for picking up on this story.

A Glimpse Into Your Thoughts.

We Asked And You Shared: A Look At Our Viewer's Reaction To The September 11th Massacres.


From Pamela, of Campbell

"However, I want to express that what I experienced like many rescuers, is that we have a great sense of how precious life is, and now I feel that the average American taxpayer has a greater sense of that."


From Connie, of Pittsburg

"I cannot express the extreme grief and overwhelming sadness that I have experienced since the massacres of September 11th." "I am a taxpayer, a single mother, a full time student and a full time worker and although I struggle financially, all of this is so incredibly trivial compared to what those taxpayers on the East Coast are coping with in the aftermath of the September 11th massacres.


From Rachelle, of Dublin

"I would like to share my views on our [the taxpayers'] service men. I feel that our rulers should take our prisoners and send them over to fight for our country. Do not draft men in college or hard working men who provide for their families.


From Old Glory Love, of Orlando

"I feel that the massacres of September 11th have made us truly UNITED taxpayers!"





WIIFM Or The Art Of A Bi|lat.

The IMU (part of the problem) + the black list (part of the offer) = the opening of the 'friendship' bridge (part of the acceptance).




Ninety Days Ago.

Ninety days ago, nearly 3,020 people were massacred above and on the land mass referred to by many as United States of America.

Why?

Expériences de Voyage - Mitrovica, KOSOVO.

"Expériences de Voyage" is part of The Art of the Peace Monopoly gallery series.

Winter ~ 2002.

A young girl (dead link) is amused to find U.S. Army soldiers lined up against the walls of her house in Mitrovica, Kosovo. The soldiers from the U.S. Army's Bravo Company, 3rd Battalion, 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment, and United Nations' police are conducting a house-to-house search for weapons. The soldiers are attached to the 82nd Airborne Division, Fort Bragg, N.C., and are deployed to Kosovo as part of KFOR. KFOR is the NATO-led, international military force in Kosovo on the peacekeeping mission known as Operation Joint Guardian.

Keeping a watchfule eye (dead link): Cpl Jeffrey Hamelin, a pioneer with 1RCR BG in Mitrovica, Kosovo, monitors activity near a bridge separating the north and south ends of the ethnically-divided city. Members of the platoon assisted in stopping a major demonstration at the bridge.

First Bridge Over Mekong River Opened.

KOMPONG CHAM, Cambodia (Reuters) - Those living on the land mass know as Cambodia announced that a newly constructed bridge spanning the Mekong River was opened on Tuesday, linking the east and west Cambodia land masses by road for the first time. The bridge cost $56-million to build and was funded by taxpayers who call themselves "Japanese citizens".

Goodbye to Chouteau Bridge.

The Chouteau Bridge, which has been a part of Kansas City for 113 years, will be demolished on 12/4/2001.




Homeland Warning Trax: Update on the "bridge attack warning" which was issued to certain local authorities on 10/31/01. Warning number 2.

Click here for the update on warning number 2. Or was this warning 2a?

This report reports a "2nd" warning issued on 10/29/01, stating this is warning number 2 and stating that the one on 10/11/01 was warning number 1. The warning issued on 10/29/01 makes no mention of bridges.

Here comes now warning number "C": "Monday's [12/3/01] warning was the third issued by the FBI [to the public]. The agency issued two others on Oct. 11 and Oct. 29."

The warning about bridges (warning 2a) came out later, on 11/1/01, when Davis went public with it. He was probably informed on 10/31/01.

Is there a good time-line website, preferably a blog, tracking the post September 11th minutia?

1. 10/11/01 (public), 2. 10/29/01 (public), 2a. 10/31/01 (private, but made public on 11/1/01), 3. 12/03/01 (public).
