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 to his posts is in the INDEX AND FINDING AIDS SECTION. Recently, we revisited a Namazu classic WHERE IS THE MERCHANT IN THE AMERICAN MERCHANT MARINE?  Last Wednesday we published his final installment on his "ADDRESS TO THE ENGLISH SPEAKING PEOPLES.  Today we bring you Namazu on Namazu his response to those who claim he is "not real", and in a separate post his thoughts on "The Dragon, The Bear, and The Camel"

IN THE BLOG SPACE TODAY: (Not in order of occurrence)   (1)Namazu Defends His Reality  (2) Namazu on The Dragon, The Bear, and The Camel (3) A curious story from the UK about the Boston bombers with our apologies that we are occupying space with a non maritime story, but that one that has very wide public interest at the moment and once again our daily scouring of global news sources seems to have dug up something apparently important but not getting much play in the American media.
