| No one is like the Chinese Communist Party in terms of the inseparable integration with transnational organized crime. | |
| My recent reporting at the Bureau has shown that the United Front Work Department and its leaders are literally architecting underground banking and money laundering systems. | |
| They are architecting drug collection brokerage houses. | |
| Cash laundering brokerage systems for the Mexican cartels that are on the front end brutally of dealing fentanyl that is, of course, ultimately sourced from precursors in China and the latest evidence from the U.S. congressional hearings in the past year and investigations are, | |
| For example, the US government knows that Chinese Communist Party members have so-called golden shares of fentanyl precursor production factories. | |
| Chinese Communist Party members, I believe, at governor level and the people surrounding them have direct business relationships with these global triad leaders that happen to be set up very strongly in Canada as a government. | |
| So the level of interconnectivity between China being behind the global narcotics trade, as the U.S. experts I talked to say, China is upstream. | |
| The cartels are below them and they're working together. | |
| The money laundering is controlled by Beijing's United Front Work Department in many ways, and it interweaves. | |
| With the Belt and Road development projects that we hear about around the world, sort of debt trap diplomacy, corruptive development projects, often in, you know, not wealthy countries where Beijing wants influence. | |
| And as my most recent reporting shows, the global drug bosses working with China and enriched and protected by Chinese security. | |
| are using drug cash around the world to fund these Belt and Road projects and to send those profits back to enrich the communist regime. | |
| So that's how deep and integrated and sophisticated that connectivity of organized crime drug cash. | |
| And Beijing is. | |
| It goes right to the top and it can't be separated. | |
| And of course, you've been covering the fentanyl trade on the Canada side, in the Canada-US border for some time. | |
| I saw that you recently noticed that there seems to be an increase in lab activity, cartel activity on the Canadian side. | |
| We're talking about Mexican cartels here? | |
| What are we talking about? | |
| Yes, this is very little known until recently. | |
| And that is that Canada, of course, like every nation has and has always had organized crime. | |
| In Canada, it was, you know, often groups related to traditional Italian mafia and outlaw biker gangs that were understood to be very strong in Canada. | |
| But as my expert source reporting has shown since roughly the early thousands. | |
| In Canadian cities, especially Vancouver and Toronto, also Quebec, Montreal, Mexican cartels with ultraviolence have moved in and have been involved in taking over the highest levels of organized crime in Canada. | |
| So that is using Canadian cities, using corporate structures, law offices, transportation networks. | |
| And as the book Willful Blindness showed, even higher, as I'm indicating, the Chinese Communist Party and their united front networks and these tycoons and triad leaders that are empowered by Beijing working together in providing precursors for fentanyl labs set up on Canadian soil. | |
| Iranian Middle Eastern threat networks are also very strongly involved. | |
| People were shocked when Kash Patel came out and pointed to those exact networks in Canada on his Fox News interview. | |
| But as I know, we can just call it a takeover of organized crime in Canada has been happening at a deep level, especially if we're focusing on the cartels for 10 to 15 years now. | |
| And the story that I broke recently is that major investigations in Canada have raised the concerns that Mexican cartels Along with Chinese triads, are using Indigenous First Nations land in Canada. | |
| And the key point here is that they are using this land for production. | |
| We know of illegal tobacco, for example. | |
| I believe also the worst of synthetic narcotics, weapons trafficking is involved on these Indigenous lands. | |
| And the key thing here is, as in America, Indigenous bands Due to very well-known historic harms, they have won, for good reasons, jurisdiction in many ways over these lands. | |
| But what has happened is, if we're talking about Mexican cartels, Chinese triads, who I'm saying are integrated with state networks and empowered by state networks, they are coming in onto these First Nation lands in Canada as a stronger authority almost. | |
| As a government level, as I'm saying, a criminal government, and using this land, often in Ontario and Quebec, right along the American border and spread out, in some cases, we call it the six nations, six indigenous nations in Ontario and Quebec. | |
| They have cross-border access between Canada and the United States. | |
| So in my view, I think this will be what Washington, at an intelligence level, is very concerned with. | |
| These land corridors in Ontario and Quebec being used, and being used easily and clandestinely by, I believe it's 170 criminal groups that have access to those First Nation lands and are using it to cross the border with drugs. | |
| Weapons and human trafficking. |
