I was inspired to make this map of Amsterdam when I saw this lovely map of the network by Jaap Knevel. Amsterdam’s system is really cool from a design perspective, because it’s small but not overly simple, meaning it’s relatively easy to represent and really fun to optimize. So this was quite the fun exercise, and I’m really happy with how it turned out! My favorite part is Sloterdijk—I think I might have found the best possible way to compactly represent that station.

After talking to a Dutch friend, I decided to also make a map of Rotterdam in the same style! I found it to be a much harder system to map—in part because it has twice as many stations as Amsterdam and has routes going as far as Den Haag and Hoek van Holland—but I’m still decently happy with the results. I kept the map to the same height as the Amsterdam map and exactly twice the width.

TRAITOROUS COMMIE GOON EMBARRASSES HIS PATRON, GOV. LOU LEON GUERRERO IN HEATED DEBATE EXCHANGE.

Last night, in the first so-called debate of the election season, GVB board director and Communist China’s point man on Guam, George Chiu was used as political foil to skewer Gov. Lou Leon Guerrero.

The controversial commie sympathizer exploits his position as a GVB director to disrupt efforts by GVB president former governor Carl Gutierrez to revitalize and move the island toward a new age in regional tourism.

And to wholly embarrass and set up Leon Guerrero for brutal political hits in the 2022 race for Adelup.

Leon Guerrero was heavily lobbied by her business partner at ASC Trust Corporation, David John, to give Chiu a seat on the GVB board, with his sole aim to target and spoil any further developing relationship with Taiwan.

Taiwan remains a viable and attractive source market for a new direction in island tourism. Communist China’s point man on Guam wants to kill that development potential, at the expense of the island’s economic recovery.

To the consternation of Chiu - and his commie handlers - Gutierrez has cultivated a growing relationship with Taiwan; hence, Chiu’s efforts to try to embarrass Gutierrez and the Leon Guerrero administration into removing him from the agency.

Adelup challenger, Mike San Nicolas was quick to invoke the executive vice president of Tan Holdings and the turmoil he has fomented at the tourism agency in a spurious attack on Leon Guerrero last night.

Pointing out “the big fight” at GVB between Gutierrez and Chiu, bolstered by a shady alliance of board collaborators including, among others, United Airline managing director Sam Shinohara, and board chair Milton Moringa.

San Nicolas used their disruption scheme to promote a false narrative, citing what he called Leon Guerrero’s “lack of leadership”.

 In their capacity as GVB directors, George Chiu, Sam Shinohara, and others failed to disclose their conflict of interests as they voted to funnel wads of cash from GVB to another entity where they were also board members or held lucrative contracts.

Shinohara, a San Nicolas supporter, pretended great umbrage at a recent meeting claiming that, “...if management can arbitrarily act on their own and don’t need our advice and consent, I’m not sure why we’re spending time.”

His fraudulent accomplice, commie hit man Chiu quickly chimed in, further protesting that “We’re sitting on this board, and we’re doing it for free”.

NONE OF THEM DO ANYTHING FOR FREE

Chiu, Shinohara, and the others are directing their venom at Gutierrez because they want the governor to remove him before his investigation leads to more serious, even possible federal charges.

They are not alone in running scared. Other names associated with suspicious activities and billings at GVB include their cohorts, Steve Rudder, PIC general manager Ben Ferguson, Karl Pangelinan - and Sonny Ada.

GVB president Carl Gutierrez began investigating years of looting GVB coffers, after stumbling upon suspicious activities and missing documents, according to a longterm GVB staffer. The internal investigation by GVB leadership into evident malfeasance and illegal activities has corrupt board members running scared.

For years, the cabal of corrupt miscreants have bled the agency for millions of dollars in illegal contract manipulations and blatant violations of open government laws.

And they shamelessly, and openly, continue to bilk the critical agency of taxpayers dollars by siphoning even more money from GVB.

Chiu also said that Gutierrez’s efforts to root out corruption and double dealing at GVB were making him “feel uncomfortable”.

Guilty much, comrade?

Chiu and his accomplices are now redirecting valuable GVB resources (money) from economic development activities so that they can “lawyer up” and bring in their own lawyer to fight GVB leadership - despite the fact that GVB  already having legal counsel under contract.

Feeling the heat, Chiu angrily told a village mayor and other board members that he wants “to go back to GEDA”.

No doubt, at GEDA, Chiu will continue to seed commie interests on Guam, while trying to strangle any economic growth opportunities with Taiwan.

Numerous other regulatory violations, unethical and illegal practices are traced back to the same confederacy of mendacious malefactors.

Following up the dirty groundwork laid for him by Shinohara and Chiu, San Nicolas thought he had trapped Leon Guerrero in the glare of political headlights.

Nonetheless, finding herself ensnared in a political set up ‘framed’ as a debate, Gov. Leon Guerrero pushed back on San Nicolas’ claim of a lapse in leadership.

Despite the deceptive attack by San Nicolas, Gov. Leon Guerrero remained loyal to her disappointing and malicious directors, while also reaffirming her decision to remain “out of it”.

Leon Guerrero reaffirmed her decision to count on the maturity, leadership and faith she placed in Carl Gutierrez to lead GVB - and Guam - into a new age of economic development and tourism.

Chiu, and his corrupt coterie at GVB will no doubt continue to continue to prove a major embarrassment to the Governor for allowing them to remain at the agency. Insisting on keeping tourist dollars in Tumon only - and from their approved tourist markets only.

It’s at their own peril if they forget that the Man of Tomorrow has withstood far more worthy opponents than they will ever be. Opponents, all of whom are now nothing more than dust in the trash bins of history, while Gutierrez remains rock solid! but we can expect more chaos in their efforts to push the former governor out so they can once again loot GVB coffers freely.
