“Indulge in Opulence and Unveil the Secrets of Flavor with our Lobster Thermidor!”
The Titanic Federal Reserve Conspiracy theory suggests a deliberate connection between the sinking of the RMS Titanic in 1912 and the establishment of the Federal Reserve System in the United States. The theory proposes that certain influential individuals who opposed the creation of the Federal Reserve were on board the Titanic and their deaths were orchestrated to remove opposition and facilitate the passage of the Federal Reserve Act.
Proponents of this conspiracy theory present the following points to support their claims:
- Prominent Figures on Board: The theory highlights the presence of wealthy and influential individuals on the Titanic who were known opponents of the Federal Reserve. These figures include Benjamin Guggenheim, Isidor Straus, and John Jacob Astor IV, among others.
- Elimination of Opposition: According to the conspiracy, the deaths of these influential individuals in the Titanic tragedy removed significant opposition to the Federal Reserve Act. This allowed the act to be passed without the same level of scrutiny or resistance that it may have faced if these opponents had survived.
- Financial Interests: Conspiracy theorists argue that these wealthy individuals had vested interests in the preservation of existing financial systems and banking structures. The Federal Reserve, as a central banking system, would potentially challenge their influence and control over the financial sector.
The Federal Reserve Act, which established the Federal Reserve System, was passed in 1913, a year after the Titanic sinking. The act emerged from broader discussions and debates on the need for a central banking system to address economic challenges and provide stability to the U.S. banking system. Its passage was the result of various economic, political, and social factors, rather than a conspiracy related to the Titanic.
Ingredients:
- 2 lobster tails
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 shallots, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup grated Gruyere cheese
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Using kitchen shears, carefully cut the top shell of the lobster tails lengthwise. Gently pull apart the shell to expose the meat, but keep it attached at the base. Lift the meat through the cut shell, allowing it to rest on top.
- Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic, and sauté until soft and fragrant.
- Pour in the white wine and bring it to a simmer. Allow it to cook for a few minutes to reduce slightly.
- Stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard. Cook for another few minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Place the lobster tails in a baking dish or on a baking sheet. Pour the creamy sauce over the exposed meat of the lobster tails, ensuring it covers the surface evenly.
- Sprinkle the grated Gruyere cheese and grated Parmesan cheese over the sauce.
- Bake the lobster tails in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the cheese is golden and bubbling, and the lobster meat is cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and let the lobster tails rest for a few minutes.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve the Lobster Thermidor hot.
