| Our Crew Including The Seasonal Help Has Been Busy |
SOME PROGRESS TO REPORT: This is our second use of the WEEKLY Bulletin Board in lieu of the DAILY Station ID and Test Pattern. As we mentioned two weeks ago as the Holiday shopping season is on us our retail sponsors expect us to get the "shop" portion of the blog up to speed by updating the special interest sections, shelving more book links, and more book reviews. We are after all, an Amazon portal and there is only one economic reason to enter Amazon through us instead of going directly to Amazon. We are experts in the maritime fields and we review, recommend, and suggest works independent of the dust jacket hype. You have a better chance of really finding something that fits your need.
But there are other reasons including the fact that we gather no data from you, and will never bother you with unsolicited marketing once you've left our site. We provide you with the information you need to secure a library loan if you don't want to purchase. We provide a number of free entertaining features and services related to our "special interest sections", including navigational aids like Ben's Tech Spot in the NAVIGATION section, or guides to finding hands on instruction as can be found in BOAT BUILDING and DIVING. Lots of free and informative or entertaining video links are scattered around the subject matter sections.
This holiday season we invite you to visit the special interest sections, there is a lot new. Not only are we posting more book suggestions but we have a free E-book up in Maritime Literature which we serialized probably before many of you started looking in on this site ("SPACE AS AN OCEAN") and in Merchant Marine Interests we are finally putting the finishing touches on our former serial "BLOOD ON BROWN WATER". We are improving the Index section including a complete guide to finding the writings of NAMAZU which are presently scattered about the site. You are always welcome here whether you buy books or not. But if you are in the market for maritime related books or videos this holiday season please consider ordering through us. Please click on and check out any of our advertisers between pages. Remember it is the advertisers and book sales that support the infotainment opinion blog postings and deep thinkers like Namazu, not the other way around.
| MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS THANKS FOR DROPPING IN! |

CHECK OUT OUR LINKED HISTORY OF CHINA'S TROUBLESOME NAVAL POLICY IN THE CHINA SEA. Scroll down below the Bulletin Board to the posts for 11/24/2012---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IN THE NEWS : THE EVOLVING SITUATION IN GHANA:Argentina has filed a case against Ghana for the release of their war ships in a UN Tribunal. Expect some time to elapse before there is a ruling. The link below is to the news coverage of the filing. We will be following this story and will post new developments to the weekly Bulletin Board and the News service.
Argentina Versus Ghana and Elliot Management's Paul Singer
In the case of the seizure of two war ships of Argentina,on behalf of a creditor, an unprecedented action in violation of traditional international law by a Ghana court, apparently servicing an American writ, we blogged extensively the over the last two weeks. Scroll back a week or more to read our reasoning in the case. Or, pick a winner on the "visual evidence presented above and described below.
So who do you think gets the world opinion sympathy? Who is going to be the news media darling? Who looks like a stooge? Who looks like a greedy crook? No I didn't say who is.... I said who looks like.... You do understand now why Argentina is expected to come out of this with flag held high? Like it or not despite her dangerous views on the Falklands, the United States had better hope that "Earth Mother" takes the "stooge" and the "highway robber" down to the mat in court. A U.S. Carrier Task Force could be the next ship group seized while on a foreign port call for improper garbage disposal or whatever. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
