Seafood for the Brain is a varied collection of short stories, poems, political articles, and vignettes designed to fascinate and/or expose stunning and dangerous economic conditions in America. Similarities between The Great Depression of the 1930’s and current economic foreboding cannot be ignored, to wit: Causes of the 30’s depression were (1) the concentration of wealth; (2) the speculative stock market; (3) corporate mergers; and (4) retrenchment of the money supply so the fat cats could gobble up major industries ~ such as oil, railroads, and mining by the sole owners of the so-called Federal Reserve System, i.e., Rothchild, Morgan, Rockefeller, Lehman, and Goldman to name some of the few. Tariffs initiated by the Smoot-Hawley legislation had little or nothing to do with the cause of The Great Depression, which wasn’t enacted until well after the stock-market crash of October, 1929, and was continually reduced or eliminated as the Depression of the 30’s deepened and worsened until Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941.

Except for (4) previous, the same conditions exist today, plus (a) our manufacturing production has been shipped offshore; (b) illegal immigrants have driven our wage base to the bottom; (c) our infrastructure is falling apart; and (d) the Federal Reserve System (not federal, no reserves, and not a system [a cartel] ) has been monetizing the currency (flooding the market with money). The latter causes skyrocketing inflation, the most egregious form of taxation. The only reason America is not currently in the depths of depression and inflation is because it has been delayed by income maintenance money, i.e., AFDC, social security, civil service and military pensions, and other funded mandates. Our economy will soon come down like a House of Cards. Conditions exposed by Katrina forbode certainty of the latter. Thomas L. Thomson, Dissident
