Chine has installed a surveillance network on the Paracel Islands in the South China Sea. Recent satellite imagery shows a new structure that appears to be anchored on the north edge of the Bombay Reef, with solar panels and a radome on top. The Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative believes the dome to be an Ocean E-Station destined to be part of the Blue Ocean Information Network which China is building for "exploration, exploitation and control" of the region. China's interest is in claiming control of the area which is currently claimed by multiple countries and to prevent the US and other countries from entering the international waters around the islands. If this continues China may very well claim the area by right of possession in the same way it claims ownership of Tibet.

    Guy with a HUGE HEART. Very big heart. Great guy, tremendous Church Fan. Until he was killed in a HORRIFIC Shark Attack off Cape Cod (RIP!!!). Until his beautiful young life was savagely snuffed out by that Shark -- so sad. Sharks are giving us tremendous problems.

    But China, they're putting Digital in their Ocean. To watch it very carefully. People don't know this, they eat Sharks in China. And possibly this very special Ocean Digital will help them find a lot more Sharks. And catch them -- so much delicious Shark Fin Soup. Great for a man's Whatever -- otherwise known as his Penis. And possibly China can put the Ocean Digital off Massachusetts. Off California. Off New York. To catch those horrible Sharks. To stop the Smugglers & Terrorists from coming in. And help us get our Ocean Boarder under control!!!
