The Mosaic Effect: How the Chinese Communist Party Started a Hybrid War in America's Backyard

by Scott McGregor, Ina Mitchell, Michel Juneau-Katsuya

There are two worlds out there - an "in the open" world where people go about their daily lives. Locked in by borders and governed by laws. In this world, people live with a false sense of security in "the system". Now juxtapose this with another world, a parallel world that operates in the shadows. In this world, a war has been waged by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) whose aim is to overthrow their main adversary - the "United States of America", and with that, dominate the globe by 2050. The CCP isn't just in America's backyard - they are at their backdoor. This is no conventional war though - this is a silent one where covert operations are hidden in plain sight behind multiple layers of legitimate organizations and reputable individuals. A hybrid war where no bullets are fired and the weapons of choice are social chaos and economic subversion. Immigration fraud provided the key to opening the gate for the (REDACTED) to walk right into America's backyard over thirty years ago through their neighbors to the North - Canada. There they created a base of operations along the 49th parallel, the line that divides the USA and Canada - the largest undefended border in the world. Then set about methodically building a United Front network of individuals and groups under the influence or control of the CCP. Surreptitiously infiltrating key institutions and eroding political underpinnings. In the words of one undercover American intelligence agent, "Canada has now become one of the pre-eminent security concerns of the U.S. government." Now that the CCP has positioned themselves next door to their greatest advisory by infiltrating key institutions and influencing the political landscape in Canada - what's next?
McGregor has the answer to this question and more around the CCP's influence and espionage ops in the West. He is an official keeper of national secrets for Canada and the 5 Eyes, and has lived in both worlds. In the MOSAIC EFFECT, he takes the reader on an unprecedented journey into this parallel "shadow" world where he will reveal to readers the CCP's ultimate battle plan for the "West." With the help of a team of "intelligence collectors" that includes journalists, former agents and law enforcement, researchers, and underground citizen spies, hidden within the Chinese diaspora and old fashioned "tradecraft." McGregor uses the mosaic theory of intelligence to piece together a fascinating spy puzzle with tentacles that reach into the highest office in the land, then etches out the CCP's battleplan that was used in Canada as a warning for the United States of America and other sovereign nations. The compelling narrative gives readers a firsthand glimpse into the "other" shadowy world ruled by the CCP in the "West" - this is high intrigue and espionage like you have never known .

[Elie-Joe Dergham · Rating 5 out of 5]

The book explores the covert influence operations by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in Canada and its implications for both Canada and the United States. The book uses a narrative driven by real-life intelligence, investigative journalism, and firsthand accounts to detail how the CCP has methodically expanded its influence through espionage, economic leverage, and political manipulation. The book is an eye-opening read that brings into sharp relief the nature of modern geopolitical threats. It's a critical piece for understanding the less visible forms of warfare and how they can subtly alter the political and social landscape of democracies. While it might benefit from a more balanced view of the situation, its contribution to the discourse on national security and foreign influence is undeniable.
