- Canada is the launch-pad for a multi-billion dollar
assault
by The People's Republic of China (PRC) against the United States. A
top-secret
report reveals that "a dangerous consortium of Chinese triads, agents
of the Chinese Secret Intelligence Service (CSIS), and Hong Kong tycoons
has established itself in Canada.
-
- "They operate on several fronts. Smuggling heroin
into Canada for shipment to the United States. Using Canada as a key in
the lucrative human smuggling trade to Europe and the United States. By
obtaining ownership of key companies in Canada, the PRC uses them to
infiltrate
the United States, says the report.
-
- "The original version of the report has been
suppressed
because of its far-reaching political, economic and military implications,
says Gordon Thomas, author of Seeds of Fire: China and the Story Behind
the Attack on America (Dandelion Books). "A watered-down version is
beginning to circulate within senior Washington and Canadian
circles.
-
- But a well-placed source in Canada's intelligence
community
has passed Thomas a copy of the original report. Revelations of its
contents
are bound to cause embarrassment within the Bush Administration as it
prepares
for the President's visit to Beijing and to the Canadian government.
-
- Codenamed "Sidewinder, the report is officially
titled "Canadian Intelligence Services and Triads Financial Links
in Canada.
-
- It was jointly prepared by Canada's Secret Intelligence
Service and the National Security Division of the Royal Canadian Mounted
Police (RCMP).
-
- Seeds of Fire details how both the CSIS and RCMP were
involved in tracking China's theft of nuclear secrets from Los
Alamos.
-
- Since the book's publication, Thomas has continued to
monitor the activities of Chinese intelligence across North America.
-
- "The report shows the PRC has infiltrated Canadian
society with a network of spies and organised crime figures. Many of them
have Canadian nationality, making it easy for them to go to the United
States, he writes.
-
- Confirmation of the explosive nature of the report has
come from two senior Canadian investigators.
-
- One is Brian McAdam, an internationally renowned expert
on Chinese Triads networks of professional criminals dating back to
Imperial
times. The other is Michel Juneau, a former high-ranking French-Canadian
intelligence officer who has spent 21 years monitoring Chinese intelligence
activities in the Asia-Pacific region.
-
- "As well as what the Sidewinder report states, both
men confirm that China is using Canada as the prime base for world
hegemony,
beginning with the United States, says Thomas.
-
- Copies of the original "Sidewinder report were
shredded.
Those on disc were electronically destroyed.
-
- But a copy survived and was passed to Gordon Thomas.
He says the document reveals:
-
- *Triads own one-third of downtown Vancouver.
-
- *China had invested over one billion dollars in 2001
to buy Canadian businesses in strategic areas. A number have links to U.S.
corporations.
-
- *China is one of the largest stockholders 10 per cent
in Canada's Imperial Bank.
-
- *China has "virtual control of 15 corporations in
the country's technology sector.
-
- *China's Secret Intelligence Service has
"established
some 30 companies, fronted by Canadian nationals, for traditional and
economic
espionage purposes. These companies are used as cover for Chinese spies
to get them into important business and political circles.
-
- *CIA and Canadian intelligence do not understand the
"sinister nature of the elaborate networks established in
Canada.
-
- But the original version of "Sidewinder was spiked
after pressure from the business community in the U.S. who feared the
revelations
would lead to a backlash against China and so damage the thriving trade
links President Bush hopes to encourage during his upcoming visit to
Beijing.
-
- The joint Canadian intelligence team that prepared the
original report was told by the Canadian Security Intelligence Review
Committee
that "the report was too extreme and given to scare mongering. They
were ordered to give "a more favourable politically correct spin to
the facts they present, Thomas has been told.
-
- "Sidewinder reveals that more than 200 Canadian
companies and corporations are, in 2002, under the direct control of
China's
International Trust and Investment Corporation (ITIC).
-
- "It operates directly under the general staff of
the People's Liberation Army (PLA). ITIC is the world's largest private
operator of container terminals. It has lucrative stakes in 17 ports in
Europe, including Rotterdam. These ports are directly implicated in the
traffic of humans for the sex slave markets, for domestic slavery, for
use as organ donors, reveals Thomas.
-
- In Seeds of Fire, Thomas has detailed how the U.S. has
successfully "all but wiped out the memory of the massacre on
Tiananmen
Square by the PLA acting on the orders of the Chinese leadership.
-
- The book is now in its second large reprint and has been
sold to over 40 countries. Its author has received wide critical acclaim
for the investigative work behind his revelations.
-
- "The business links established in China by American
business have directly led to China setting up operations on an
unprecedented
scale in Canada. But it is not only Canada that now faces a growing threat
to its national security. It is the United States that is the prime target.
Canada is just the Trojan Horse -- the womb for the enemy within to nourish
itself for the growing penetration of the United States, says Thomas.
