NEWS OF NAMAZU THE EARTH SHAKER

NAMAZU, giant Japanese catfish former demigod, turned maritime analyst

Namazu is our senior maritime analyst and star commentator, many visitors check in just to see what the giant catfish has to say lately. When he has something new we post it in this space. Other wise his stuff is all over the blog postings and an index is in the INDEX AND FINDING AIDS SECTION. Four days ago Namazu posted a block buster, his explanation of the trap being built by the Chinese Dragon for the U.S. Navy's Pacific Fleet and Japan's Maritime Self Defense Force. He also explained how to avoid the trap, win the naval war if comes to that, perhaps win without firing a shot, Namazu on how to out Sun Tsu, Sun Tsu. If you haven't read this yet its still in easy reach by simply scrolling down past about a half dozen more recent posts. Today we post a related blog that graphically depicts China's inflated claims in the China Seas , her embattled neighbors, and explains how the Dragon makes her humble fishermen the cannon fodder in their territorial conquest campaign.
