IN THE NEWS: THE EVOLVING SITUATION IN GHANA:
GHANA has been holding one Argentine warship since October 2 and more recently impounded a second for creditors. Such court actions against war ships are unheard of and appear to be in violation of established international law concerning the privileges and immunities of war ships.
Argentina says international law prohibits warships from being seized in foreign ports and has asked the Hamburg-based International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea to intervene.
"The Argentine government has presented a request for an injunction over the embargo ordered by a Ghanaian judge that violates international law," Argentine Foreign Minister Hector Timerman told reporters in Buenos Aires.

READ LIKE A CATFISH:
People who have read "NAMAZU FULLY LOADED: THE FUTURE OF AMERICA" keep asking how this 3,000 yer old catfish knows so much. Well, obviously being 3,000 years old gives one a unique and very deep historical perspective. While Namazu generally hangs out in the Pacific off the Sea of Japan he is a world traveler as his recent visit to our office demonstrated. Being able to take human form on rare occasions gives one an inter-species broad breath of perception. But how is he able to predict the future? Namazu says that the ability to predict the future was never in his union contract as a "demigod", a term he now describes as "unfortunate and inaccurate."He maintains that he uses the same type of analytic tools as human prognosticators but better quality, and of course he has that unique historical and global perspective. Namazu claims no future predictive accuracy much greater than the best computer enhanced, human team of forecasters. He does claim to use better data, some of it quite expensive as we learned in that little controversy over the "NAMAZU FULLY LOADED" controversy. We have asked Namazu to share with his fans a reading list that will help readers to master the Catfish perspective. He has promised to keep his suggested reading list within reasonable retail pricing and to stay away from suggesting some of the data bases that he occasionally accesses that costs thousands of dollars. So today we present the first installment of the NAMAZU READING LIST.
THE NAMAZU READING LIST IS NOT REVIEWED BY THE AMERICAN ADMIRALTY BOOKS EDITORIAL STAFF. THESE RECOMMENDED PUBLICATIONS ARE THE SOLE OPINION OF NAMAZU THE EARTH SHAKER

In this first installment Namazu reminds readers that oil isn't the first commodity to drive the global economy. In the ancient past other commodities have had serial central roles. The first step in understanding the role of oil in the global economy is understanding the rise and fall of predecessor central commodities. Namazu suggest that if you weren't actually alive and involved in ocean shipping for the last 3,000 years that the following books can help you to see the global economy from the catfish perspective: Click on the book cover icons to read more about, or to order the books.
