Description

We live in two parallel worlds—one that exists in plain sight, governed by laws and borders, where the illusion of security prevails. The other, concealed in shadows, is the battleground of a silent war masterminded by the relentless Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Their audacious objective? To dismantle their primary adversary, the "United States of America," and assert global dominance by 2050. But the CCP's ambition extends far beyond America's borders; it's a global conquest where traditional warfare takes a back seat, replaced by covert operations masked beneath layers of legitimate organizations and respected figures.

 

In this clandestine conflict, no shots are fired, and the chosen weapons are social chaos and economic manipulation. The vanguard of the CCP's covert assault is an enigmatic trio, known discreetly as the Trinity, acknowledged by the USA's intelligence elite—the CIA, DIA, DEA, and State Department. The Trinity represents an unholy alliance between PRC intelligence agencies, the influential Chinese business elite, and the notorious triads.

 

This strategic infiltration began over three decades ago, gaining entry into the United States through its northern neighbour, Canada, exploiting immigration fraud as its gateway. The 49th parallel, which divides the USA and Canada—the world's longest undefended border—became the backdrop for the CCP's sinister machinations. The CCP methodically constructed a United Front network in Canada, subduing or directing individuals and groups to serve their agenda. This subversion has steadily corroded the political foundations of Canada, sounding alarm bells among undercover American intelligence agents who now view Canada as one of the United States' foremost security concerns.

 

Meet Scott McGregor and Ina Mitchell, guardians of some of Canada's national secrets. McGregor who has worked in military intelligence, law enforcement and for the current Premier of British Columbia, advising on the convergences between transnational organized crime and national security threats; Mitchell an investigative journalist and documentary filmmaker, pull take readers on a journey like no others have ever dared to do. in their forthcoming book, "The Mosaic Effect," McGregor and Mitchell embark on an enthralling odyssey, providing unparalleled insights into the CCP's far-reaching influence and espionage in the Western world.

With precision and dedication, they employ a fusion of modern investigative techniques and age-old tradecraft. Together, they assemble a captivating mosaic of intelligence, piecing together the intricate web of CCP influence that reaches into the highest echelons of global power.

This isn't merely a story—it's a high-stakes narrative of intrigue and espionage that offers an intimate look into a dimension of global affairs concealed from public gaze. Welcome to a world of international espionage, intrigue, and the relentless pursuit of democratic values, all woven into a narrative that demands the attention of discerning readers immersed in global politics and the preservation of democracy.

About the authors

Scott McGregor SR. INTELLIGENCE INVESTIGATOR AND POLICY ANALYST

 

Bachelor of Commerce (specialization in Entrepreneurial Management) Scott was with the Canadian Military as a Senior Domestic Intelligence Analyst at Joint Task Force Pacific Headquarters, where he worked in a classified domain. He was mandated to provide an awareness of international threats to national security. After leaving the military, Scott worked for the RCMP Federal and Serious Organized Crime as an intelligence advisor responsible for developing an all-source intelligence team. His focus was on TNOC and the convergences to national security.

While at the RCMP as the Senior Analyst with the GPEB Intel Unit, he developed a strong understanding of the presence of TNOC operating within the BC gaming industry. While at the RCMP’s E-Division Federal Serious Organized Crime (FSOC) Intelligence section, Scott was tasked with a pilot project that endeavoured to find correlations between activity that related to threat streams and entities operating in the environment of Transnational Organized Crime (TNOC) and National Security (NS). The key issue in this task was the RCMP’s limited ability to share information across classified and protected security domains.

The information exists on separate networks; however, there was no one looking at both sets of data (real-time investigations across all the Federal groups) in a meaningful way. This correlation alone would not provide typical analysts with adequate insight into the vast networks conducting criminal operations in and around the Vancouver area. To gain a more robust Situational Awareness (SA) of the Common Operating Picture (COP) Scott initiated an Intelligence Preparation of the Operation this would provide real-time information on activity in the region but with an Intelligence assessment on what the activity meant to decision-makers and stakeholders.

 

Unfortunately, the product and concept did not come to fruition. However, multinational interagency meetings, discussions, think tanks and presentations did create a new interest in TNOC and how it is connected to NS threats in British Columbia (BC). The new awareness of TNOC was brought about through hard work, dedication and a penchant for raising the alarm on what Scott calls; “economic subversion”. A driving force behind these sharing concerns relates to how Intelligence is conducted by Law Enforcement.

 

SUMMARY:

•2013 graduate of Royal Roads University (Bachelor of Commerce with a specialization in Entrepreneurial Management).

al Environment (IPOE) product that would offer the greatest understanding of what was occurring in the region.

•With the Intel Unit having just been formed, Scott was asked to create the reference documentation and operations plan for the unit. These policy documents were implemented by the unit and provided the guidance and frameworks required to conduct the business of Intelligence for the BC government's only gaming Intelligence component.

•Once established as an official Intelligence Unit and registered with the International Association Law Enforcement Intelligence Units (LEIU), Scott provided situational awareness of threats to the integrity of gaming to decision-makers and stakeholders within the government. This domain awareness was made possible through the utilization of Scott's Intelligence network wherein he liaised with multinational (FiveEyes) Intelligence, Security, and LE agencies to share information in accordance with the legal frameworks and security protocols.

Editorial Reviews

This book strikingly unveils the staggering extent of China's grip on Canada and its hold on our politicians. It casts an unrelenting spotlight on the myriad of Canadian-Chinese entities that steadfastly pledge allegiance to China while exposing the ominous orchestration of the Triads, an Asian criminal juggernaut, in a pivotal, chilling role.

I dare every single Canadian politician to immerse themselves in the depths of this book and then, in a moment of introspection, confront the mirror and make the weighty choice: on which side of history shall you etch your name?

Former Director Proceeds of Crime, RCMP

“The Mosaic Effect is dynamite, blowing wide-open the truth about a political and criminal collaboration between the Chinese Communist Party, Hong Kong’s Triads and wealthy business tycoons that pose a direct and grave threat to Canada and its freedoms.

If this book was fictional it would be a gripping novel in the genre of Graham Greene or John Le Carre, but the horrifying reality is it is fact, not fiction. What has come to light in recent years about the Chinese Communist Party regime’s infiltration of Canada and how it has become the soft underbelly to infiltrate America is truly shocking. But in truth it has been going on extensively for over three decades – and was known to successive Canadian governments, which chose to cover up the evidence and do nothing.”
