Heffernan shows why we close our eyes to facts that threaten our families, our livelihood, and our self-image – and, even better, she points the way out of the darkness' Daniel H. Pink, author of Drive and A Whole New Mind? Why, after every major accident and blunder, do we look back and ask, how could we have been so blind? Why do some people see what others don't? And how can we change? Drawing on studies by psychologists and neuroscientists, and from interviews with business leaders, whistle blowers and white collar criminals, distinguished businesswoman and writer Margaret Heffernan examines the phenomenon of wilful blindness, exploring the reasons that individuals and groups are blind to impending personal tragedies, corporate collapses, engineering failures – even crimes against humanity. We turn a blind eye in order to feel safe, to avoid conflict, to reduce anxiety and to protect prestige. It makes us feel good at first, with consequences we don’t see. But greater understanding leads to solutions, and Heffernan shows how – by challenging our biases, encouraging debate, discouraging conformity, and not backing away from difficult or complicated problems – we can be more mindful of what's going on around us and be proactive instead of reactive....

The third edition of "Wilful Blindness" builds on the compelling narrative that has cemented Samuel Cooper's reputation as a premier investigative journalist, now under the banner of The Bureau. This edition unveils startling new revelations, naming potential individuals implicated in the Parliamentary NSICOP report. It suggests that MPs, ministers, and perhaps even the Prime Minister may have been aware of the CCP's interference in our elections and turned a blind eye for political gain. This explosive update makes "Wilful Blindness" a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the depth of corruption and foreign influence shaping our world today.In 1982, three of the most influential men in Asia convened in Hong Kong to shape the future of the city's handover to the People's 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. The decisions made that day 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 America's Pacific coast. British Columbia's government casinos became conduits for global criminals, facilitating the influx of deadly narcotics into Canada and laundering billions of drug money into Vancouver's real estate market. This was no accident. A web of accomplices--revenue-hungry governments, casino and real estate firms with connections to dubious offshore wealth, complicit lawyers and bankers, and an unresponsive RCMP--allowed organized crime to flourish.The consequences of this greed, corruption, and wilful blindness are staggering. Drug cartels, particularly the Big Circle Boys--transnational narco-kingpins with ties to corrupt Chinese officials and industrial tycoons--have infiltrated significant sectors of Canada's economy. As dirty money inflated Vancouver's 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 Cooper's investigation reveals that the key players in the "Vancouver Model" of money laundering have turned Canada's 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 RCMP's top intelligence official, raises alarming questions. Could Chinese transnational criminals and state actors have secured protection from within Canada's national security apparatus? Could China and Iran possess insights into Canada's most sensitive secrets and investigations? Ortis's 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 Canada's 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....

Long before the devastation of September 11, 2001, the war on terror raged. The problem was that only one side, radical Islam, was fighting it as a war. For the United States, the frontline was the courtroom. So while a diffident American government prosecuted a relative handful of “defendants,” committed militants waged a campaign of jihad—holy war—boldly targeting America’s greatest city, and American society itself, for annihilation. The jihad continues to this day. But now, fifteen years after radical Islam first declared war by detonating a complex chemical bomb in the heart of the global financial system, former federal prosecutor Andrew C. McCarthy provides a unique insider’s perspective on America’s first response. McCarthy led the historic prosecution against the jihad organization that carried out the World Trade Center attack: the “battalions of Islam” inspired by Omar Abdel Rahman,the notorious “Blind Sheikh.” In Willful Blindness, he unfolds the troubled history of modern American counterterrorism. It is a portrait of stark contrast: a zealous international network of warriors dead certain, despite long odds, that history and Allah are on their side, pitted against the world’s lone superpower, unsure of what it knows, of what it fights, and of whether it has the will to win. It is the story of a nation and its government consciously avoiding Islam’s animating role in Islamic terror. From the start, it led top U.S. law enforcement and intelligence agencies to underestimate, ignore, and even abet zealots determined to massacre Americans. Even today, after thousands of innocent lives have been lost, the United States averts its eyes from this harsh reality....
