Wilful Blindness: Foreign Interference | Elite and State Capture | How a Criminal Network of Narcos, Tycoons and CCP Agents Infiltrated the West |

English

By (author): Sam Cooper

Wilful Blindness, Foreign Interference and Elite and State Capture build on the compelling narrative that has cemented Samuel Cooper's reputation as a premier investigative journalist, now under the banner of The Bureau. This update unveils startling new revelations, naming most of the individuals implicated in the Parliamentary NSICOP report.

Cooper's findings now reveal that the Prime Minister. MP's and various Ministers openly collaborated with the Chinese Communist Party to influence the outcome of the 2019 and 2021 elections. From Han Dong to Senator Yuen Pau Woo, their words speak volumes about how those loyal to the Motherland have worked to further the objectives of the Chinese Communist Party in Canada.

This explosive update makes Wilful Blindness a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the depth of political corruption, elite capture and foreign influence shaping our world today. Cooper also shows readers how China, Iran, and Russia work with organized crime as part of their Transnational Repression Operations worldwide that have targeted diaspora communities from China here in Canada and around the world. However, Canada was the soft underbelly for the PRC to infiltrate and undermine with their eyes clearly on the prize. The USA. In 1982, three of the most influential men in Asia convened in Hong Kong to shape the future of the citys handover to the Peoples Republic of China.

This pivotal meeting saw Chinese business magnates Henry Fok and Li Ka-Shing align with Deng Xiaoping to advance the Chinese Communist Party's domestic and global ambitions. That day's decisions would ripple far beyond Hong Kong, reaching as far as Vancouver and reshaping the world. Soon, billions of dollars in Chinese investments poured into North Americas Pacific coast. British Columbias government casinos became conduits for global criminals, facilitating the influx of deadly narcotics into Canada and laundering billions of drug money into Vancouvers real estate market.

This was no accident.

A web of accomplicesrevenue-hungry governments, casino and real estate firms with connections to dubious offshore wealth, complicit lawyers and bankers, and an unresponsive RCMPallowed organized crime to flourish. The consequences of this greed, corruption, and wilful blindness are staggering. Drug cartels, particularly the Big Circle Boystransnational narco-kingpins with ties to corrupt Chinese officials and industrial tycoonshave infiltrated significant sectors of Canadas economy. As dirty money inflated Vancouvers real estate market, the social toll became evident: a fentanyl crisis ravaging North American cities, declining life expectancy in Canada, and an unattainable housing market for the middle class. But the story extends beyond real estate and overdoses.

Samuel Coopers investigation reveals that the key players in the Vancouver Model of money laundering have turned Canadas West Coast into a hub for CCP-led corporate and industrial espionage. These unscrupulous entrepreneurs have exported their criminal operations globally, impacting countries like Australia and New Zealand. The 2019 arrest of Cameron Ortis, the RCMPs top intelligence official, raises alarming questions. Could Chinese transnational criminals and state actors have secured protection from within Canadas national security apparatus? Could China and Iran possess insights into Canadas most sensitive secrets and investigations?

Ortiss oversight of critical probes into transnational money laundering and espionage efforts underscores the depth of the infiltration. Wilful Blindness is a gripping narrative that follows tenacious investigators who challenged the institutionalized negligence and corruption behind the Vancouver Model. Drawing from extensive interviews with whistle-blowers, thousands of pages of government and court documents, and exclusive confidential materials, Cooper uncovers the shocking extent of Canadas compromise.

The book concludes with a startling revelation about the extent of the infiltration and outlines crucial steps Canada must take to realign with its Five Eyes allies and restore national security. In the third edition of his gripping international bestseller, investigative journalist Sam Cooper unveils the explosive narrative of corruption, crime, and complicity that has infiltrated the West. Wilful Blindness dives deep into the murky world of narcos, tycoons, and Chinese Communist Party agents, revealing how they have embedded themselves into the fabric of Western society. Drawing from extensive interviews with whistle-blowers and thousands of pages of government and court documents, Cooper exposes the dark underbelly of political and financial systems.

This book is a testament to Cooper's relentless pursuit of the truth, from the shocking revelations of money laundering in Vancouver casinos to the high-stakes real estate deals masking illicit activities. The explosive NSICOP report from parliament suggests MPs from the NDP, Liberals and Conservatives have been compromised and may well be committing treason through their Wilful Blindness or direct engagement with PRC agents if only we had laws to prosecute them. Through the pages of Wilful Blindness, he reveals the probable suspects, from backbench MP's right to the PM's office. Renowned for his award-winning journalism, Cooper's work has forced a public conversation about corruption in Canada and beyond.

This edition features new chapters that delve into the continued infiltration by foreign agents and the staggering implications for democracy and national security. Praise for Wilful Blindness is widespread. Dr. Charles Burton calls it explosive revelations that expose our government's complicity, while Terry Glavin highlights its role in sparking a crucial public dialogue. Robert Spalding, a former US Brigadier General, urges readers to understand the modern war landscape through Cooper's revelations. For anyone seeking to comprehend the complex web of global crime and its insidious impact on Western democracies,

Wilful Blindness is an essential read. This book not only informs but also empowers readers to recognize and confront the pervasive threats to our societal integrity. Updated forewords by Dr. Charles Burton with an Introduction by the former Chief of Asia Pacific, Michel Juneau-Katsuya
