Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for justice: for they shall be filled. Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me. The glory of the Lord shall endure for ever: the Lord shall rejoice in his works. He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke. I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being. My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the Lord. Let sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the Lord, O my soul. Praise ye the Lord.

Stability Issue: Video Shows Cargo Ship Capesize 😲 at Turkish Port 🤦‍♂️


SNIPPET:

Turkey’s Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure confirms that 24 containers were lost from the Togo-flagged Sea Eagle and a minor oil leak was detected and boomed off. Fortunately all crew members were evacuated safely and no injuries were reported.

It also appears that the ship eventually sank at the berth.

Rare Video Shows Orcas Hunting A White Shark 👀

Rare Video Shows Orcas Hunting A White Shark 👀

By Antony Sguazzin (Bloomberg) A drone operator and helicopter pilot captured rare footage of a pod of orcas killing a great white shark near Mossel Bay on the south coast of South Africa. Now sharks haven’t been seen in the area for weeks.

Orca attacks have been cited by scientists as a possible cause of the giant shark species’ disappearance from some waters off the country’s coast.

The footage, captured on the afternoon of May 16, shows a group of five orcas bringing an apparently dead three meter (10-foot) white shark to the surface 400 meters off Hartenbos Beach, according to an Oct. 3 study released by researchers at the Marine Dynamics Academy in Gansbaai, South Africa. Mobile phone footage from a helicopter pilot in the same area at about the same time shows orcas chasing great whites and one of them eating the liver from a dead shark.

“This behavior has never been witnessed in detail before, and certainly never from the air,” said lead author Alison Towner, a PhD candidate at Rhodes University, South Africa, according to a press release from the Ecological Society of America, which published the study.

Minutes before the attack, white sharks were seen by a number of observers fleeing the area, with some swimming into shallows to escape the orcas.  While 10 sharks were observed during a 75 minute drone flight on the day, only one was seen in daily drone flights over the next eight days, the researchers said. Cage diving operators, who charge tourists to observe sharks from the safety of underwater cages, saw an average of more than three white sharks per trip in the 10 days before the attack and none of the predators for the 45 days after it.

“Given the well-documented, predictable year-round presence of white sharks in Mossel Bay, the sudden absence of white sharks for several weeks immediately after the predation event supports a flight response by surviving white sharks in the area,” the researchers said.

Two orcas , known as Port and Starboard because of their way their dorsal fins lean, have been blamed by a government-appointed panel for the disappearance of white sharks off Cape Town , which lies 344 kilometers (214 miles) west of Mossel Bay, after they killed and ate a number of the animals.

“The study confirmed that one infamous killer whale, locally known as ‘Starboard,’ was part of the pod and ate what was suspected to be a large piece of shark liver at the ocean surface, ” the Ecological Society said in the statement, referring to the Mossel Bay attack.

In the two years to 2020 only one confirmed sighting of a white shark was recorded in the waters off Cape Town compared with an average of 205 per annum between 2010 and 2016. A similar pattern was observed off California’s Farallon Islands after a spate of orca attacks.

Earlier this week a dozen white sharks, an unusual number for this time of year, were seen during an aerial survey off the coast of Plettenberg Bay, a popular resort 114 kilometers to the east of Mossel Bay, radio Algoa FM reported, citing a statement from the local Bitou Municipality. The municipality said that the sharks may have been “displaced from Mossel Bay” by the orcas.

Plettenberg Bay has reported two ☠️ fatal attacks on swimmers by white sharks recently, one late last month and the other on June 28. Footage on social media in recent days has shown large sharks swimming in water just a few feet deep off the town’s beaches.

Great white sharks can grow to about five meters and weigh two tons. Orcas can reach eight meters and weigh four tons.

Each passing day makes it increasingly apparent that the present capitalist system has no solutions to the crises of its own making. This week, we looked at how we can tackle the most pressing problems of our times, from the war in Ukraine to climate change and beyond.

Columbia professor Jeffrey Sachs tackles the question of how to achieve a peace settlement in Ukraine and offers a solution Washington doesn’t want to hear: it’s time to admit NATO is a big part of the problem. Vladimir Putin and Emmanuel Macron have both expressed their openness to joining peace talks. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark A. Milley has also added his voice to those urging a political solution to the conflict, bluntly stating that Ukraine’s chances of victory are “not high.” Sachs’s solutions are straightforward and address concerns from all parties: the US and NATO must back down, Russia must withdraw its troops, Ukraine must stop seeking to retake Crimea, and all parties must commit to respecting Ukraine’s sovereign borders. As the chances of nuclear war grow day by day, it’s high time to consider what a settlement might look like for this war. 🙏🏼

It’s no secret that the global reliance on fossil fuels is the number one driver of climate change. Yet discussions of transition from fossil fuels are plagued by practical questions of how exactly a major industry can be dismantled without simultaneously crushing millions of workers. TRNN Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez sits down with former oil and gas workers to discuss how a just transition from fossil fuels can be achieved without throwing workers under the bus. It’s undeniable that dependence on fossil fuels needs to be overcome, particularly among the most developed capitalist countries who bear the greatest historical responsibility for the destruction of the planet. In undertaking such an intentional and sweeping economic transformation, the transition to renewable energy may also provide a tremendous opportunity to institute a new kind of economy based on human and ecological need. https://therealnews.com/what-just-transition-degrowth-economy-looks-like

All around the country and the world, runaway inflation is crushing the working class, and the policies of the Federal Reserve are only adding to the weight. Anders Lee of the Pod Damn America podcast hosts a special discussion on The Real News to discuss the 1979 Volcker Shock and its lessons for the present day. Paul Volcker is often credited with ending high inflation rates in the late 1970s and early 1980s by raising inflation rates through the roof—the same strategy the current Fed is attempting to use to manage inflation. The effect of such policies is to depress wages while allowing the prices of goods to continue to rise. Workers are inevitably caught in a double bind, while capitalists profit from both ends of our plight.

Baltimore Bridge Hit By Ship – Major Collapse

SNIPPETS:

The most severe US bridge collision 😖😵🤦‍♂️ since the Tampa Skyway Bridge disaster in 1980 happened in the early hours of the morning while the ship was under pilotage. Here are the details we have so far.

By Katrina Nicholas (Bloomberg) A major commuter bridge in Baltimore collapsed after being rammed by a container ship, causing vehicles to plunge into the water and threatening chaos at one of the most important ports on the US East Coast.


The Maryland Transportation Authority issued an alert on X telling drivers not to use Interstate 695. Kevin Cartwright of the Baltimore City Fire Department described it as “a mass casualty, multi-agency incident” in an audio interview with CNN, adding as many as 20 people could be in the water.

The disaster at the Francis Scott Key Bridge happened early Tuesday. It’s likely to cause huge disruption — both for shipping at one of the busiest ports on the US East Coast and on the roads — now that a key link has been severed on the major highway encircling Baltimore. ... ...

US Army Deploys More Than 1,100 Specialists to Baltimore

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Navigation staff observe the damage resulting from the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, March 26, 2024. In accordance with USACE’s federal authorities, USACE will lead the effort to clear the channel as part of the larger interagency recovery effort to restore operations at the Port of Baltimore.
SNIPPET:

The Army also said it will leverage its mandate and federal authority to clear the Federal channel as part of a comprehensive interagency recovery initiative. Collaboration with local, state, and federal partners is US Army Deploys More Than 1,100 Specialists to Baltimore

Among the key resources being deployed, certified underwater assessment capabilities stand out, including services by Structural Professional Engineers who utilize Remotely Operated Vehicles and sonar technology to inspect and evaluate underwater structures thoroughly.


In addition to underwater assessments, the USACE is providing significant structural engineering support to ensure the safety and integrity of critical infrastructure. This support encompasses the deployment of certified bridge safety inspectors, alongside urban search and rescue structural technical specialists, who are tasked with evaluating and ensuring the stability and security of structures in and around Baltimore.

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers vessel Reynolds

Addressing the challenges posed by waterway debris, the USACE has deployed the debris removal vessel REYNOLDS to patrol the waters of the Baltimore Harbor and the Patapsco River and the CATLETT, a 61-foot hydrographic and topographic survey vessel. They will focus on the identification and removal of drift and debris that pose hazards to navigation, thereby ensuring safer and cleaner waterways for Baltimore’s residents and visitors alike.

Both vessels are based in Baltimore. The USACE has not specified when it will begin deploying vessels from other regions of the country, nor if it will activate Navy salvage assets or Maritime Administration Ready Reserve ships.
