Three Stooges Law of Diminishing Returns and the TSA

How 19 Guys & a Camel Destroyed

Western Civilization

Three Stooges Law of Diminishing Government Competence

The recent incident with Senator Paul being detained by TSA guards who specialize in harassing 6 year

old little girls, is just the tip of the iceberg. The American tourist Trade has suffered a loss of $600 billion

and should exceed $1 trillion very soon – the entire cost of the Iraq War. So while our Backroom

Bureaucratic Dictatorship cannot sleep at night unless a TSA guard looks under your bed at night, they

are systematically destroying the economy and world trade. Those 19 guys and a camel accomplished

more than taking down the World Trade Center – they discovered the real way to destroy Western

economies – unleash the Backroom Bureaucratic Dictatorship and they will take down society faster

than Superman.

Three Stooges Law of Diminishing Government Competence

boils down to this; all

you have to do is smack the guy in charge, and he will smack the others. What no standing army was

ever able to accomplish, those 19 guys and a camel have in a single act, destroyed all LIBERTY and set in

motion the Decline & Fall of the Western Economy and Civilization. Numerous countries now

fingerprint world travelers. This is having a very serious impact the same as protectionism of the 1930s.

Teenage girls that dreamed about visiting Disneyland have to be interviewed by a US Embassy before

they will be granted a visa. They have single-handedly wiped out the tourist trade and that was just the

beginning. Business travel has been reduced. Commerce is slowing internationally or being diverted to

more friendly nations. The Backroom Bureaucratic Dictatorship has succeeded in accomplishing its goal

– to keep track of everyone just in case they may be up to something. This East German “Papers Please"

attitude that has become the hallmark of the USA, is pretty much saying – get the hell out and stay out!

Just as the Protectionism of the 1930s succeeded in destroying world trade, the American “Patriot Act"

(Anti-Liberty Act) has been the worst economic piece of legislation any brain-dead politician could have

voted for in history. Many Government employees are the worst to start with. These are the people who

normally cannot hold a real job, are too lazy to accomplish much in life, enjoy the power they can wield

to get even with the world for their lack of ambition, and their paranoid attitude of anyone who makes

more than them just rounds out the pleasant demeanor.

In my own case, we issued notes in yen. Between 1995 and 1998 the yen fell from 75 to the dollar to

147. If a deal was made in 1995 and paid off in 1998, the obligation was in yen. But the government

employee, ignorant of foreign exchange, could not understand that since the same amount of yen cost

50% less in dollars in 1998 why the noteholder was happy. They hailed to comprehend a transaction

was in yen not dollars, and to explain why the client was satisfied, they argued they were stupid, and I

manipulated the entire value of the yen to make them think they made money. You listen to this

nonsense and you simply do not know where to begin to explain that a government employee is the

biggest moron perhaps in financial history. But what the hell; this is the quality of people we also have in

the TSA. They are destroying trade, and Congress is too stupid to even notice! So the trend in world

trade is DOWN. More and more countries are adopting TSA standards and as always, nobody stopped to

figure out the more difficult you make it for travel, the more you will reduce global trade!
