It is well known in international engineering circles that paying a bribe for engineering credentials in foreign countries is commonplace.  The January 29, 2009 letter written by an Engineers Australia official, mentioned in “Where Texas Goes, Others will Follow…Part 12” was sent to an official in South Korea.  For those who have long memories, Watergate lawyer John McCloy reported extensively on the bribes demanded by government officials of South Korea, and also Saudi Arabia, during the investigation of Gulf Oil payoffs in the 1970s.

As to the overall effect of the actions of Rick Perry’s Texas Board of Professional Engineers on the continued practice of engineering by American engineers, the prospects are not good and inevitably national security will be jeopardized.  It can be expected that the new system of trying to license foreign nationals in Texas will be extended to many states in the United States if the attempt in Texas is not blocked.

In a corporate/globalist system, the cheaper the worker is, the greater the profits to the international corporation.  Millions of unemployed Americans already know that simple fact.

Like America’s medical doctors, many of whom will quit the practice of medicine once Obamacare is fully implemented, the more experienced American professional engineers will be replaced with the cheaper, unqualified foreign imports – the “monkeys on computers” — at the expense of public safety.   In order to accomplish this goal, the Texas Board of Professional Engineers has been taking a determined stance against the safety of the general public by

President Obama, in his speech of April 19, 2011, mentioned the Minnesota interstate bridge that spanned across the Mississippi River and that collapsed in 2007.  Mr. Obama stated that “our roads, our bridges, our sewer systems are deteriorating,” and he mentioned “insufficient federal spending on transportation.”

What President Obama failed to mention during his speech, possibly because he did not know, was the fact that the engineering analysis of the bridge that had been undertaken in the months before the collapse,  had been incorrectly performed by an international engineering consortium that apparently employs foreign technicians who are unable to obtain professional engineering licenses in the United States.  The names and qualifications of the so called “engineers” — those individuals who were directly involved in the failed engineering analysis and resulting collapse of the bridge — remain unknown.

In spite of the disaster, things are getting brighter for foreign engineering “quacks”.  No longer will embarrassed pork-spending politicians, and federal, state and local governments, need to depend on foreign engineering fakers to work outside the USA on projects located within our borders.  Now, thanks to Texas Governor Rick Perry, those foreigners are gaining a “path of opportunity” to enter the United States directly through Texas.

The now-out-of-control Texas Board of Professional Engineers has engaged a “full court press” against national security and the health, safety and welfare of the Texas citizenry.   The threat of danger to the nation is now even greater than it was when engineer-author June Melton, III wrote The Mysterious Adventures of Marshal Yeager, Professional Engineer – Book I: In the Matter of Sandra Bullock’s House, Governor Rick Perry, and Corruption at the Texas Board of Professional Engineers.

The Gov. Rick Perry-appointed Texas Board has now implemented a dangerous

On August 23, 2006, the Houston Chronicle reported that “More than 14,000 Texans – almost all opposed to the Trans-Texas Corridor – turned out at Texas Department of Transportation public hearings this summer to express their displeasure with the highway and the governor.”

An “Australian connection” was being developed about this time to allow international corporations to import cheap, foreign technicians into the United States.

The Beginning of the Australian Connection

The 1970’s movie The French Connection featured a theme about the smuggling of drugs from France into New York City.   Now in the 2000’s there is a real-life “Australian Connection” with a non-stated mission of smuggling as many fake-engineers as possible from the Middle East and elsewhere into the United States where they can become licensed as professional engineers in Texas.

In the recent article PE Report, the National Society of Professional Engineers noted that the Canadian government is exerting an effort “to make it easier for foreign engineers to become licensed (in Canada because of) engineering talent pouring into the area that can’t be used without proper licenses.”  Canada has minimal education and

The National Council of Engineering Examiners and Surveyors (NCEES) is an organization composed of all engineering and surveying licensing boards in the United States and several territories. NCEES develops, scores, and, for many states, administers examinations used for engineering licensure.

On August 11, 2009, the NCEES Board of Directors approved moving forward with the development of a Principles and Practice of Engineering examination, commonly known as the PE exam, for the discipline of software engineers.

As reported in the September, 2009 issue of “IEEE-USA Today’s Engineer Online, “…As part of the NCEES board action, it was agreed that IEEE-USA will serve as the lead technical society sponsoring the examination with cooperative agreements from other organizations, including the IEEE Computer Society and the National Society of Professional Engineers….The jurisdictional licensing boards requesting the examination were those with significant amounts of software engineering industry and those that have institutions granting EAC/ABET-accredited degrees in software engineering. ABET is the accrediting agency for

All over the planet, central banks buy off the politicians and seize the water, the roads, the power plants and other infrastructure.

International corporations thrive on cheap labor. According to the Huffington Post, December 18, 2010, “There are some 128 goods among the products that most commonly use child labor… The broad definition of exploitive labor by underage workers… includes ‘slavery or practices similar to slavery; the sale or trafficking of children; debt bondage or serfdom; the forcible recruitment of children for use in armed conflict; the commercial sexual exploitation of children; the involvement of children in drug trafficking; and work that is likely to harm children’s health, safety, or morals.’ The vast majority of the exploitive labor done by children is in agriculture (60 percent), followed by services (26 percent), and industry (7 percent).”

Most Americans, either unwittingly or deliberately choosing to accept the fact, depend every day on slave labor so that they can enjoy their “American lifestyle.” A large number of countries import products into the United States that are produced by slave labor, including carpets, cocoa, coal, diamonds, clothes, rice, cattle, coffee, brick, tobacco, sugarcane, cotton and gold.

And where, other than south of the border, can cheap labor be found for direct import into
