NAMAZU ADDRESSES THE ENGLISH SPEAKING WORLD
| NAMAZU, giant Japanese catfish former demigod, turned maritime analyst |
Namazu's on going theme, his "ADDRESS TO THE ENGLISH SPEAKING WORLD continues but the naval news is overtaking him. This series started back on January 29, 2013 and continues. In this series Namazu is proposing that all of the English speaking nations form a "naval union" to combine and coordinate their sea power in order to respond to the multiple challenges that the English speaking sea powers face. Since January 29th, the Chinese have repeatedly violated Japanese territorial waters, "painted" Japanese war ships with fire control radar, brought suite to the UN over the islands of others that they claim, and used a veiled threat delivered by a colonel in a military academic institution to threaten Australia with a nuclear strike if Australia should take up arms with the United States in support of the defense of Japan. The same colonel, echoing less direct sentiment from the senior leadership stated that it is a national goal of China to push the U.S. Navy and all U.S. influence out of the Western Pacific and bottle up the western most part of the U.S. fleet in Pearl Harbor. He specifically mentioned that the complete eviction of the U.S. influence from the region moist specifically included Australia. At least a few public figures in Australia are just now starting to reevaluate public policy pronouncements to the effect that "Australia doesn't have to choose between the the United states and China". Check in with us this week for continuing coverage of events in the China Seas which the U.S..infotainment media just seems blissfully unaware of and for the next installment from Namazu.

Port workers in Santos boarded the vessel which is carrying cranes that will be deployed at the private container terminal Embraport, owned by local conglomerate Odebrecht, trading company Coimex and the United Arab Emirates' DP World.
The cranes will be used to load and unload shipping containers at the privately run terminal, which is unusual for Brazil, where the vast majority of the port terminals are still under state control.
"Workers occupied the Chinese ship to stop it from unloading as a start of protest against Provisional Measure 595. I will be in talks with them to resolve this," Paulo Pereira da Silva, president of the Força Sindical Labor Union, told Reuters.
