At the time of the tsunami -- just as we had done within days of the "spill" in the Gulf in April, 2010 . . . Aquaman OceanDefender and I went on air and discussed the very real concerns of these disasters
we said they would be significant and, over time, the effects of the "accidents" would be more painfully obvious
we spoke of the likely devastation to aquatic life and the health of our oceans . . . as well as the likely long-term (and highly negative) impact this would have on the food chain for all creatures, most notably Man
but . . . perhaps more than any other concern, our collective voices were raised in saying, quite emphatically, that we expected the "behavior" of the parties involved -- BP in the Gulf, TEPCO in Japan
to ADD dramatically to the devastation and long-term impact
because we expected their "clean-up" efforts would be ONLY on sanitizing the truth and protecting, as best they could, the economic impact to themselves
leaving hundreds of millions of people at risk
this problem only gets worse; we see it in radiation levels in tuna and other forms of sea life
a disaster . . . and the collective efforts to possibly fix this are suppressed so the long-term impacts are not addressed . . . as the only thing seemingly that matters is short-term profits
add to that the painful truth . . . no one actually knows what to do
no one knows where to store the radiated water, no one knows the impact of leaks from the tanks that are seeping into the ground and being slowly washed into the Pacific
no one knows how to fix it -- or how much these efforts might cost
or what the long-term health impacts may be
