Herein is an "apology" and an "explanation" as to why I refer to the recent past and current "economic crisis" as a "(non)crisis"-- by Michael

In my writings I have referred to the "economic crisis" of the recent past and of current as a "(non)crisis"...
Unfortunately, I have been, evidently, "misunderstood," in this by some...
"I'm not sure which is more bizarre...the fact that you're focusing on chemtrails (which is nothing more than sheer speculation backed by nothing but fear-mongering) or the fact that you claim the financial crisis is a non-crisis. I suppose the 10% official (18% unofficial) unemployment numbers are also a figment of peoples' imaginations? Or perhaps you're referring to claims by the administration and the media that we're climbing out of the financial morass? If so, you need to recharacterize your criticism, because to the best of my knowledge none of those people claim that there is no economic crisis."
...this being part of a comment engendered by NolanChart's esteemed Mr. Walt Thiessen, who I have the utmost respect for, to my first "Chemtrails" article--so let me, herein, so, " recharacterize"...
I do not mean to negate the real suffering of real people in the midst of this current economic (non)crisis by calling it such and I apologize if I gave that impression--people really are losing their jobs and their homes and, having been there myself in my personal past (the Recession of the early 1980's--the "outsourcing" of our industrial base in the late 1990's/early 2000's), I can definitely sympathize and empathize with their personal distress because twice now in my own life I myself have become unemployed and lost what I had worked for, perhaps decades, to accumulate and all due to economic and financial circumstances that were well beyond my control--but at some upper echelon of society there were/are those who were/are well in control...
...I suppose that I could genuinely say that my referring to it as an "economic (non)crisis" is, on my part, being entirely sarcastic, ironic and facetious in an attempt to expose the fraud of a ruling portion of Society which has caused said suffering and loss for the benefit of its own thoroughly informed self-interests--for there are absolutely no physical/natural reasons whatsoever for it to be occurring--there has been no catastrophic Natural Disaster which has disrupted the flow of Natural Resources and their subsequent Manufacture and Trade/Distribution to merit it--the grass still grows, the wind still blows and the sun still shines--therefore it must be an artificial manipulation of the distribution of Wealth by those who are in a position to do such manipulating...
...unfortunately, the Common Man has been intentionally duped into believing that the "economy" is a very unpredictable and uncontrollable thing that can go up and down without any control of it whatsoever on the part of mankind/humanity--?--??
What is really at play here is the wishes and desires of the current "ruling portion of society" ala an "economist," John Stuart Mills, over a century ago:"...The things [material resources] are there. Mankind, individually and collectively, can do with them as they please. They can place them at the disposal of whomever they please, and on whatever terms...Even what a person has produced by his individual toil, unaided by anyone, he cannot keep, unless by the permission of society...The distribution of wealth, therefore, depends on the laws and customs of society. The rules by which it is determined are what the opinions and feelings of the ruling portion of the community make them, and are very different in different ages and countries and might be still more different if mankind so choose..."--as being currently counted among the ranks of the Common Man we might only hold out a hope that in a (near) future age that we might make them even more different still--for so have we so chosen--to conduct our affairs in order to effect the common good of all people, according to what resources we have at our disposal, and not our own, Elitist, individual self-interest and self-engrandizement agenda(s) which are conducted at the expense (suffering/deprivation) of others--in other words, we choose to become better people--choosing to see to the benefit of others rather than ourselves...
In other words, if you don't like the way that things are going for you, evidently, someone else does--or they wouldn't be going this way, for you are not privy to nor a current part of the "ruling portion of the community"?
Without the actual occurrence of a genuine, catastrophic, Natural Disaster which actually and really interrupts the extraction of Natural Resources, their subsequent transition via Manufacturing in order to provide mankind its Needs and Wants what else can it be but an "artificial," intentionally manipulated, economic (non)crisis with an ulterior motive behind it (channeling the distribution of Wealth unfairly)!?!?
SURPRISE!!! During last year's period of "economic crisis" the richest individuals of the world (it's "Billionaires"), somehow, statistically, managed to become 50% more wealthy--while the Common Man lost his job and subsequently his home...
...this, in itself, is great cause for Revolution against the current World system--but we just sit on our intellectually lazy ars and abide by the old cliche';--"Oh well, the Rich get Richer"--this statistic of 2009's results makes my case here highly plausible within itself; in the midst of a terrible economic crisis the majority became less wealthy while the most wealthy increased their wealth by 50%--might they be the true "ruling portion of the community"??
...our coffers have been raided and our treasury has been plundered and now the (puppet-entity)Fed is considering taking our IRA's and 401K's and converting them--via legislation--into US Treasury bond backed assets--which means they might end up being worth less than toilet paper after their true value has been likewise transferred into pockets of the already most wealthy...
And you think that these things have not been foreseen!?!--"For he says, "By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom; for I am prudent: and I have removed the bounds (=boundaries=Globalism) of the people, and have robbed their treasures, and I have put down the inhabitants like a valiant man; and my hand has found as a nest the riches of the people; and as one gathers eggs that are left, have I gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or peeped?" (Isaiah 10:13,14)...
...but hey--here am I, saying, "PEEP, PEEP"--it's really a covert economic (non)crisis staged for an ulterior motive!!!...
We have a particular word in our current vocabulary that everyone can comprehend--it is "parasites"--oh, these are nasty creatures; tapeworms, flatworms, heartworms, ticks, fleas, etc.--and, in our current state of modern medicine in the affluent and technologically advanced West, these most commonly infect our pets and our livestock instead of us--but the word "parasites" is originally derived from the Greek and means, "one who habitually sits down to dine at the table of others"--so that our current "economic (non)crisis" is, in reality, the result of acute economic "parasitosis"=too many non-producers attaching themselves to and sucking up the life's blood of those of us who actually produce--our current economic (non)crisis is the direct result of an acute case of (human) parasitosis and we really need a mega-vermifuge about now to recover from it...
...but what will we do when a real "crisis" occurs? A Natural Disaster that really and physically interrupts the extraction of Natural Resources, their Manufacture, Transport/Distribution and thereby interrupts the fulfillment of our Needs and Wants--this will then become a real and genuine "economic crisis" and not just an artificial manipulation of the current Distribution of Wealth--a major earthquake on the New Madrid fault that interrupts the transportation of goods East/West of the Mississippi river--a mega volcanic eruption that produces another historical "year without a summer"=a year without a growing season to produce food--like the eventual eruption again of the Yellowstone caldera--a strike upon our planet by a celestial body like an asteroid or a comet--a celestial gamma burst that fries our fragile world for decades--?!?--our current "economic crisis" is indeed an artificially created (non)crisis that has been intentionally manipulated to the advantage of those who have too much already--the human parasites of Humanity--and it pales in significance to what could really happen and to what will eventually be a series of real crisises via catastrophic Natural Disasters and the consequences thereof?
...the recent Icelandic volcano's eruption and it's major disruption of air travel is just one relatively small scale, minor example of what will eventually happen; i.e., these major eruptions, earthquakes, and strikes by celestial bodies have happened in the past--and it is a matter of "when", not "if"--and they will occur again...
...there have been two periods in recorded history; one, about 1400 BC and another, about 600 AD, when there was not a growing season for 23 years due to some unknown and unrecorded reason--the evidence of this coming from the growth rings of oak trees extracted from the peat bogs of Ireland--the occurrence around 1400 BC concurs with the Biblical account when the great city of Tyre sank, as prophesied beforehand, beneath the sea--the 600 AD occurrence concurs with the final fall of the Roman Empire and the then civilized world's descent into the plague-ridden Dark Ages...
...our current "economic crisis" is so very much of an artificial (non)crisis that it pales into unfathomable insignificance when, in the future, we will be confronted with a real crisis ala catastrophic, global-effecting Natural Disaster(s)...
...let's get real here--currently we are entangled in a case of an inordinately greedy Human folly/vanity in the case of a, relatively, few Elite and an artificially manipulated economic (non)crisis that is to the distinct disadvantage of most and to the distinct advantage of an Elite few; a few who could be quite succesfully criminally indicted and convicted for their parasitic actions towards Humanity and the unwarranted suffering it has caused--but what will we do when, in the near future, we are involved in a case of the real reality of catastrophic Natural Disaster(s)?--these will be the catalyst for a real "economic crisis" in our future--what we're experiencing now will then pale into a historical "(non)crisis" status of insignificance....
