In 2011, a massive earthquake and tsunami hit Japan.  The destruction filled the Corporate Media for a few days after the event.  Once the initial crisis was over, the ongoing after-effects received no attention.  Subsequently the debris from the quake began showing up on the shores of the North and South American continents.  Except for some local news and concern for the nuclear radiation, the fouling of the ocean and shorelines was ignored.  The Corporate Media and all of the governments, state and national were silent.  The opportunity to begin the cleansing of the source of all life on the planet, the oceans, was lost.  A coalition of all Pacific Ocean nations should have been organized to begin and fund the absolutely necessary cleanup of the waters.  Until political and citizen forces wake up, the human race will continue to be impacted by its own filth.  An ocean cleansing industry would provide jobs throughout the ecosphere.  The military industrial profits are more important.
