YEAR END REPORT TO READERS (CONTINUED): 

 Reluctantly we went into the gift shop business in the final months of our first year. We have put on line stores in the Surfing, Diving, and Fishing Sections. We found that book sales commissions were not enough to support our development plans. We are hoping that sales of the occasional bigger ticket items through these on line shops will help produce the revenue we need to provide the free services to you that we would like to provide. We are still free of banners and pop ups our Google ads are between posts, and our on line shops are at the very bottom of the relevant special interest pages, you can't enter by accident. We appreciate your patronage always and your interest in our progress.

NAMAZU, Former Japanese Demigod, Rock Album Cover Model, Analyst

NAMAZU EXPLAINS THE MARITIME COMMONS:

 Today Namazu explains the vocabulary and legal theory of the maritime "commons" a concept hated by "Thug States" and under enforced by the international community of nations. The giant catfish gives a real tour de force of the issue in yesterday's blog space. The day before yesterday we carried the article below illustrative of the problem Namazu addresses today. This catfish has got it covered, he should be a key adviser to the President and Congress.


HOW FAR WILL TH E DRAGON SWIM? CHINA'S NAVAL EXPANSION AND AGGRESSIVE MOVES ON THE TERRITORIAL SEAS OF ITS NEIGHBORS, INCLUDING NATIONS LINKED TO THE UNITED STATES LIKE THE PHILIPPINES AND JAPAN CONTINUES AS OUR NUMBER ONE MARITIME WAR AND PEACE ISSUE TO MONITOR IN 2013. WE MAY WELL HAVE TO FIGHT IRAN IN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ FIRST, BUT A FIGHT WITH CHINA PITS US AND OUR STRONGEST PACIFIC ALLIES AGAINST OUR LARGEST CREDITOR AND MAJOR SUPPLY SOURCE. SUCH A WAR CAN'T POSSIBLY DO ANYONE ANY GOOD WITH THE POSSIBLE EXCEPTION OF ALLOWING THE UNITED STATES TO REPUDIATE ITS DEBT TO CHINA WITHOUT REAL CONSEQUENCE TO ITS INTERNATIONAL CREDIT RATING. NO ONE EXPECTS A NATION AT WAR TO FUND ITS' ENEMY.  BUT THIS IS AN ESPECIALLY TROUBLESOME POTENTIAL CONTEST OF ARMS. BOTH SIDES ARE NUCLEAR POWERS, THE UNITED STATES HAS NEVER SIGNED THE NO FIRST USE AGREEMENT, AND THE WORD OF CHINA CAN NOT BE TRUSTED. THE DRAGON IS PLAYING A VERY DANGEROUS GAME. ONE FALSE STEP COULD SPELL RUIN FOR THREE OF THE WORLD'S LARGEST ECONOMIES, OR REDUCTION TO ASHES. THE NATIONAL MEDIA CONTINUES TO OFFER ONLY SPORADIC AND UN- ASTUTE COVERAGE OF THE RELATED INCIDENTS. WE WILL CONTINUE IN 2013 TO MAKE THIS A MAJOR FOCUS OF OUR NEWS SERVICE UNTIL THE MAJOR MEDIA WAKES UP. AS OF THE START OF 2013 THE DRAGON IS SWIMMING FROM THE HIGH ARCTIC SHORES OF ALASKA, ACROSS THE PACIFIC AND BEYOND. BUT TO ITS' NEARBY NEIGHBORS IT IS NOT A CURIOSITY BUT A REAL THREAT. WE ARE BOUND TO SOME OF THOSE NEIGHBORS BY FORMAL DEFENSE TREATY AND TO THE DRAGON BY VAST TRADE AND DEBT.
