The genesis of this money was coming from billionaire tycoons that are ultimately tied to the PLA and to organize crime in Canada.

Dean Baxendale is the publisher of the Optimum Publishing International, which has been at the forefront of exposing Chinese Communist infiltration in the West.

Between 20 and 30 percent of all the deadly fentanyl that is killing Americans is coming through Vancouver, precursors coming from Guangdong Province.

Most recently, Optimum Publishing, the Mosaic Effect, have the Chinese Communist Party started a hybrid war in America's backyard.

According to my intelligence and journalistic sources, they suggest that as many as seven writings were turned by the Chinese Communist Party in our last election.

This is American Thought Leaders, and I'm Janie Kelley.

Dean Baxendale, such a pleasure to have you on American Thought Leaders.

Thank you, Jan. It's a pleasure to be here in Washington today.

Dean, it's really high time that I had you on the show. You've published a number of really, really hard-hitting books, of course, on China and the Chinese Communist Party, hidden hand, willful blindness.

The one that most recently we were looking at is the one by Scott McGregor, the Mosaic Effect, which is actually coming out fairly soon.

Why don't we talk about the Mosaic Effect and some of the really interesting things you discovered in the process of researching this book?

Yeah, and actually it goes back to the 2018 Provincial Election in Ontario, where the then leader of the opposition, the Progressive Conservative Leader Patrick Brown, had spoken in the legislature asking why the Ontario government was awarding billion-dollar contracts to a casino operator from British Columbia that seemed to have a rather suspect business model.

In fact, there were numerous reports by Sam Cooper at that time with global news and the Provinces, etc.

That was showing hockey bags full of cash with no providence whatsoever, coming into the casino, getting trip chips, and then when they would leave they would cash out with a cashier's check, and hence that may end up in some kind of real estate.

So, Sam Cooper, I contacted him and we started talking about Transnational Organized Crime, optimum publishing had been involved since the 1970s, on bringing forward these narratives about organized crime, the heroin business, the Canadian connection which we published back in the 70s, and that's where it all started.

Okay, so what is the Mosaic Effect?

So, the Mosaic Effect book and the genesis of the Mosaic Effect was the Mosaic Project. The Mosaic Project really was an operation being conducted by my authors really to get a better understanding of the connections between transnational organized crime, threat terror financing, the People's Liberation Army,

election interference operations, and ultimately in many cases money being used to suppress the China diaspora communities throughout Canada.

But the genesis of this money was coming from billionaire tycoons that are ultimately tied to the PLA and to organize crime in Canada.

So, you have a backdrop interestingly enough that led the authors to do a deep investigation, we'll call it potentially a counterintelligence operation that allowed them to really look at the United Front and all of its various tentacles in Vancouver, which the authors suggest is ground zero for the infiltration operations of the Chinese Communist Party into the backyard of America to wage hybrid war.

Against America. Okay, I really wanted to dig into that further, but before we go there, there's been a lot of talk about election interference in Canada. Break it down for me.

The election interference which involved here in Washington today, Michael Chong MP, came to Washington to speak about transnational repression against him.
