WHATEVER IT TAKES
THE LEAGUE OF THE EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN
"Be assured that nothing can stop the power of committed and determined people to make a difference in our society."
THE FOUNDING FATHER
Nick Greger aka "Mad Nick", a German citizen with Italian roots, born in 1977, was once a notorious leader of the militant right in Germany and was considered one of the most dangerous men in Europe. He spent 13 years in the right-wing scene, including 6 years in various prisons. In 2003 he left the right-wing movement and published not only his autobiography entitled "Lost Years" but also a number of novels in the following years.
Nick Greger received the nickname "Mad Nick" in 2004 by the Shankill district community in Belfast, Northern Ireland, during the second loyalist paramilitary feud in which his friend Johnny "Mad Dog" Adair, Brigadier of the Ulster Freedom Fighters West Belfast Brigade, and his die-hard Loyalists were forced into exile in Scotland after two dozen men were killed in the violent power struggle over the city that rocked the entire Ulster region.
The house of Adairs exiled family was attacked with gunfire after the bloody feud. "Mad Nick" Greger ultimately recruited a bodyguard unit to protect Adairs`s family while Adair himself was in jail. The mission resulted in "Mad Nick" being banned from entering the United Kingdom of Great Britain for five years. A few years later, the five-year entry ban became a lifetime ban.
In 2007, "Mad Nick" co-founded the Mad Nick Society (MNS) with Lonnie Earl Johnson, a Texas death row inmate. (One branch of the Brotherhood was at one time known as "The Order 777").
"Mad Nick" spent the following decade in crisis and war zones in Africa, the Caucasus and the Middle East, where he devoted himself to numerous charitable projects, stood up for persecuted minorities and acted as a mediator between conflicting parties, as well as tracking down wanted criminals and missing persons .
From 2009 to 2017, "Mad Nick" volunteered in the US military campaign "Global War On Terrorism (GWOT)", conducting hostage negotiations and counter-terrorism operations in Somalia, Nigeria, Gambia, Armenia/Nagorno-Karabakh, Lebanon, Syria and in Iraq.
In 2016, a second nickname was added to "Mad Nick". Several Palestinian factions added the name of "Sinan" to "Mad Nick" to honor him for his support and actions for Palestinian communities all across the Middle East. The Arab friends of "Mad Nick" therefore named him after Raschid ad-Din Sinan, who before and at the time of the third crusade was the most famous and dangerous leader of the Ismaili sect, known in Syria as "the Assassins".
Also in 2016, an Egyptian imam added the title "Al-Rashid Bey" when "Mad Nick" questioned the Trinity doctrine after having exposed a massive corruption case within the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem. "Mad Nick" has since been known as "Sinan al-Rashid Bey".
In June 2020, "Mad Nick" took on a mission on behalf of the father of the Australian girl Elly Warren, who was murdered in Mozambique, after all official investigative authorities had failed for four years to bring any result in the murder case.
"Mad Nick" used his many years of experience and contacts that he gained on his numerous missions on the African continent and he tracked downthe the prime suspect in the Elly Warren murder case just two days after taking on the contract.
Since then, "Mad Nick" has been known in the international media landscape as a private detective.

"Mad Nick" holds diplomas in English Language and Literature, Psychology, Afrology, Astrology, Sports Coaching, and an advanced diploma in the sector of Criminalistics and Criminal Science. He has completed advanced courses in Security Management, Operational Security, Counterintelligence, Investigative Interviewing, Anti-trafficking, Corruption Prevention, Countering the Financing of Terrorism, Risk Management, Conflict Zone Threat Assessements for NGOs, Bodyguard Training, International Cooperation in Criminal Matters and also Metaphysics with above average success.
In addition, "Mad Nick" went through a training programme at the rank of staff sergeant with a US military front organisation and completed a degree in terrorism studies and counter-terrorism at Georgetown University in Washington D.C..
Since 2023, "Mad Nick" has been an internationally accredited and certified Human Rights and Anti-trafficking Consultant.
"Mad Nick" Greger aka "Sinan al-Rashid Bey" continues to be a relentless fighter for justice and human rights, and he does so using his own unique methods and skills that he learned and combined from different cultures and spiritual influences.
THE CO-FOUNDER
MNS co-founder Lonnie Earl Johnson, who was innocently waiting for his execution on death row in a Texas prison in the USA. Lonnie Earl Johnson was executed on 24th July 2007. Just six months after his execution by the Texas state, the corrupt judge in charge was caught falsifying evidence to obtain a death sentence in another trial.
"I just wish that every responsible and concerned person would step back regardless of race and gender and just take a closer look at what's really going on in the world today, and say enough is enough!" - Lonnie Earl Johnson

THE MENTORS
Mad Nick along with the mentor of his youth.
Johnny "Mad Dog" Adair, one of Mad Nick's closest friends. Johnny Adair was brigadier of a Northern Irish Protestant militia and Mad Nick's best man at his wedding in Africa . In addition to the paramilitary training by a former officer of the famous and equally infamous and now disbanded 32nd Battalion of the South African Army, with whom Mad Nick has been close friends for nearly 25 years, it was Johnny "Mad Dog" Adair who most shaped Mad Nick's strategic and tactical skills in his earlier years.
For over a decade now, Johnny "Mad Dog" Adair has turned his back on politics. In any way, there isn't enough space on this page to tell his story, so we'd best let one of Mad Nick's longtime friends have his say through his own book:
Sam Childers aka "Machine Gun Preacher", whose life and work has greatly inspired the League since over a decade.
Lieutenant-General (ret) Roméo A. Dallaire is a celebrated advocate for global human rights, as well as a highly-respected author, public speaker, leadership consultant, international advisor, former Canadian Senator, and founder of la Fondation Roméo Dallaire and the Dallaire Institute for Children, Peace, and Security. Throughout his distinguished military career, General Dallaire served most notably as Force Commander of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Rwanda during the 1994 genocide.
General Dallaire provided the United Nations with information about the planned massacre, which ultimately took more than 800,000 lives in less than 100 days; yet, the UN ordered him not to intervene and demanded his withdrawal. General Dallaire, along with a small contingent, including Canadian, Ghanaian, and Tunisian soldiers and military observers, disobeyed that order. They believed they had a moral obligation to stay, to help where they could, and to—at the very least—bear witness to what the rest of the world chose to turn its back.
Armed only with blue berets, General Dallaire saved 32,000 people from brutal massacre, while negotiating with rebels leaders to stop the killing, and begging UN member states and the international media to intervene. If he had received only a few thousand troops and some ammunition to back up his bluffs, General Dallaire likely could have put an end to the bloodshed. Instead, two million human beings were displaced and upwards of a million slaughtered.
General Dallaire’s courage and leadership during this mission earned him the Order of Canada, the Meritorious Service Cross, the United States Legion of Merit, the Aegis Award on Genocide Prevention, and the affection and admiration of people around the globe.
Whether as military commander, humanitarian, speaker, or author, Roméo Dallaire works tirelessly to bring national and international attention to situations too-often ignored, whether the prevention of mass atrocities and the recruitment and use of children in armed conflict, the impact of post-traumatic stress disorder on veterans and their families, or strategic solutions for lasting peace.

"The Diplomat", an extraordinary lady who had a major impact on Mad Nick's educational progress in the fight against human trafficking.
Michael Franzese, who was born in Brooklyn, New York City, on 27 May 1951, the son of Colombo crime family underboss John Franzese. He later moved to Long Island, and he quit studying at Hofstra University to enter a life of crime, acting against his father's wishes.
In 1975, he was "made" as a soldato of the Colombo family, and he became a caporegime in 1980, leading between 300 and 500 soldati. He developed wide-ranging criminal connections, and he became involved with gasoline bootlegging during the 1980s, selling millions of gasoline in partnership with the Russian Mafia of Brighton Beach.
In 1986, he was sentenced to ten years in federal prison, and he was released in 1994; he retired from the Mafia a year later.
Franzese publicly renounced organized crime, became a devoted Christian, created a foundation for helping youth, and became a motivational speaker. Franzese became also the author of several books:

Nicolai Lilin, whose book Siberian Education inspired several aspects of the Mad Nick Society`s code of conduct.
Nicolai Lilin is a Russian writer of Siberian origin. He was born and grew up in Transnistria, which declared its independence in 1990 but has never been recognized as a state.
In 2004 he moved to Italy.
In his first book, Educazione Siberiana (Siberian Education) from 2009, he describes growing up in a criminal organization with a Siberian background and being "trained". Called the Urki, this group engaged in robbery and theft for decades, primarily on the Trans-Siberian railway lines. Under Stalin, their relatives were deported west from Siberia to Transnistria, where they continued their criminal activities. One of the unwritten laws of the now legendary Urki is the ban on having any contact with state institutions.
The book has been translated into 19 languages and distributed in 24 countries, and has reached the interest of cinema. It became a movie directed by Gabriele Salvatores, starring John Malkovic as Grandfather Kuzja.
In April 2010 he released his second novel, "Free Fall" (or "Sniper").
Lilin's second novel Caduta Libera (Free Fall) is a strongly autobiographical narrative of the author's experiences during the Second Chechen War (1999 to 2009). The story is a first-class source on the Second Chechen War.
He currently writes for magazine L'Espresso and he founded Kolima Contemporary Culture, an exhibition space which also hosts cultural events in Milan. Among its activities he is also a tattoo artist, he studied for many years the traditional Siberian criminal tattoos and learned its techniques and complex codes.

Paul, who is the creator of Operation Werewolf, a vision and training program for mind and body transformation. Paul also runs a martial arts school in the USA and has published several books.
In particular, his book "No surrender - A field manual for creative work with heart" has helped many members of MNS to realize their projects and to push their work forward.
Louis Ferrante, whose writings and knowledge are highly esteemed by Mad Nick.
As a teenager, Ferrante made his reputation as a gang leader. Ferrante and his crew hijacked delivery trucks and drove them to drop-offs all over New York, reselling the merchandise. Ferrante gained the attention of the infamous Gambino crime family. In the early nineties, Ferrante's growing Mafia connections enabled him to commit some of the most lucrative robberies in US history, all by the age of twenty-one.
When the law caught up with Ferrante, he wrote a rap song defending infamous Gambino Family Boss John Gotti, and hired controversial civil rights attorney William Kunstler to defend him. Indictments came from the Secret Service, the Nassau County Organized Crime Force, and the FBI. By 1994, Ferrante faced a life sentence in prison. He pleaded guilty and served nearly a decade in various maximum security prisons after refusing to cooperate against former associates of the Gambino family.
During his incarceration, Ferrante read his first book. He subsequently immersed himself in the study of history and literature. He also learned the art of writing, and penned an historical novel, Aleesa, set in the antebellum South.
Ferrante successfully appealed his own conviction from his prison cell, a case that is cited in courtrooms across the country.
Ferrante's memoir, "Unlocked: a Journey From Prison to Proust," published by Harper Collins Publishers, tells the story of his meteoric rise in the Mafia, his time in prison, and how he had reinvented himself as a writer.
Furthermore, Ferrante became an award-nominated television host, who also works behind the camera. Ferrante's television series, Inside the Gangsters' Code premiered on February 27, 2013. Each hour-long episode follows Ferrante as he explores different gang cultures around the world. Inside the Gangsters' Code aired on Discovery Channel in over 195 countries and in multiple languages. Ferrante wrote, hosted, narrated, and co-produced the series.
Captain Brian Steidle, whose work and actions for justice and humanity has had a significant impact and influence on many missions and operations of Mad Nick and the League of the extraordinary Gentlemen since 2007. Therefore, Captain Brian Steidle not only receives a spot on our Wall of Honor, but also a special appreciation page:
A tribute to a man whose legend was first encountered by Mad Nick at a training camp during his first trip to South Africa when Mad Nick was just 22 years old in 1999. Eeben Barlow was one of the men whose counter-insurgency knowledge was invaluable when Mad Nick led Operation Nazarene against ISIS in Iraq from 2014 to 2017.
Lt-Col. Eeben Barlow is a former member of the apartheid-era South African Defence Force and was the second-in-command of its elite special forces 32 Battalion Reconnaissance Wing. He later served in Military Intelligence as an agent handler and later as an operative and region commander in the ultra-secret Civil Cooperation Bureau (CCB), a covert division of Special Forces.
Barlow founded the private military contractor (PMC) Executive Outcomes (EO) in 1989, and was involved in providing counter-insurgency as well as peacekeeping forces in Africa and Asia. Barlow resigned from Executive Outcomes in July 1997 and the company closed its doors on 31 December 1998.
Barlow is also the former chairman of STTEP (Specialised Tasks, Training, Equipment & Protection), but also lectures on military matters at defence colleges and universities. Some consider Eeben Barlow the grandfather of modern private military companies as the founder of Executive Outcomes.
Born in Northern Rhodesia (present-day Zambia), Barlow started his schooling in Francistown, Botswana and moved to South Africa in the mid-1960s. After matriculating in 1972, he joined the SADF. He was commissioned in the SA Corps of Engineers where he served as the Engineer Commander for the 53 and 54 Infantry Battalions in the South West African Operational area. Barlow was recruited to serve with 32 Battalion Special Forces in Angola. Although 32 Battalion operated independently, the SADF was supporting the UNITA rebel movement. Subsequently, he was assigned to SADF's Directorate of Military Intelligence and then to the CCB where he commanded Region 5, an area that encompassed Europe and the Middle East.
In 1989, Barlow established the company Executive Outcomes (EO). Executive Outcomes initially trained SADF Special Forces in covert operations and intelligence gathering. He was also contracted to establish and train a covert group for the De Beers diamond company in Botswana Debswana with the aim of infiltrating and penetrating the illegal diamond-buying and smuggling syndicates.
In 1993, Barlow’s Executive Outcomes was contracted to provide security for Ranger Oil in the northern Angolan town of Soyo where Ranger Oil were trying to recover drilling equipment stored on the harbour. The harbour, in turn, was under UNITA rebel control. To achieve this, Barlow recruited men who had been retrenched from the SADF elite units as well as Koevoet.
Shortly thereafter, Executive Outcomes was awarded the contract to assist the Angolan Armed Forces (FAA) with training, strategic and tactical advice in an effort to end the war with UNITA. Despite a sustained negative campaign against it, Executive Outcomes accomplished its contract and within a year, UNITA had virtually been destroyed on the battlefield. This led to the signing of the Lusaka Protocols.
Executive Outcomes likewise assisted the Sierra Leonean government in destroying the rebel movement RUF in that country.
Barlow and his company also assisted the Indonesian Special Forces in the hostage-release operation in Irian Jaya in 1996.
Barlow was a keynote speaker during the establishment of the British Army’s rapid reaction forces. He also delivered a paper on the role of PMCs to the US Department of Defence in Washington.
Barlow publicly made it known that he supported a bill to regulate PMCs and Executive Outcomes provided several guidelines to the South African government during the formulation of a bill to regulate such companies.
Executive Outcomes was one of the first companies to be awarded a licence by the South African government to operate as a government-approved PMC.
Barlow became the appointed Chairman of STTEP International in 2009. In 2014, former President Goodluck Jonathan of Nigeria hired STTEP to provide training and tactics to the Nigerian Army for fighting the Boko Harem terrorist organization. The training was showing progressing with the start of taking back land Boko Harem had newly occupied.
Eeben Barlow, resigned as chairman from STTEP on 30 September 2020. Barlow continues to work as consultant and lecturer and his retirement seems very far away.
Shi Heng Yi is a popular Shaolin Master whose teachings have had a major influence on Mad Nick's mindset in recent years. Mad Nick was once quoted as saying, "The teachings of Shi Heng Yi became part of the foundation upon which I carry out my mission to serve freedom and justice."
Shi Heng Yi was born in Germany to Asian parents. While growing up, he was drawn to martial arts. At the young age of 4, Shi was enrolled by his father at the nearby Shaolin Temple in Kaiserslautern. It was here, at the Shaolin Kung Fu School, that he began to practise Kung Fu and fell in love with the art, which also involved mental and physical training and behavioural development. Later, he was also drawn to Qi Gong and Shaolin Rou Quan.
In 2001, Shi became a student of Shaolin masters Da Shi Yanlin, Master Shi Yan Bao, Master Shi Yan Xin, Shi Yan Fei and Shi Ya Hai.
In 2011, after completing his studies, Shi wanted to build a Shaolin temple in Otterberg and found a site where he wanted to build the temple. Although the land was for sale, he could not afford it as he had just finished his studies. Fortunately, a bank granted him a loan and he founded the Shaolin Temple Europe in Otterberg.
Until 2017, Shi struggled financially to make the temple profitable, but thanks to the monastery's growing popularity, he was able to turn the tables.
As of 2023, he serves as the Executive Headmaster of Shaolin Temple Europe in Otterberg, Kaiserslautern, Germany.
Paul Kagame, an extraordinary gentleman whose life and courage have always inspired MNS.
Paul Kagame is the President of the Republic of Rwanda. He served as Chair of the AU from 2018 to 2019 and chaired the East African Community from 2018-2021. President Kagame serves as the AU Champion for Domestic Health Financing.
He also currently Chairs the Commonwealth.
Beginning in 1990, as commander of the forces of the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF), he led the struggle to liberate Rwanda.
The RPF halted the Genocide against the Tutsi in 1994, which claimed over a million victims.
The hallmarks of President Kagame’s administration are peace and reconciliation, women’s empowerment, promotion of investment and entrepreneurship, and access to information technology, a cause he also champions as Co-Chair of the Broadband Commission for Sustainable Development.

IN MEMORIAL
ALWAYS REMEMBERED - NEVER FORGOTTEN
Our beloved friend and honorary member William Kaunda aka "Mr. Diesel", honorary member of the „Mad Nick Society“ aka „ the League of the extraordinary Gentlemen“ passed away in the early hours of the 3rd of February in 2023, just three days after his 43rd birthday.
His death came completely unexpected to all members of „The League“.
William was one of „Mad Nick's“ best friends in Africa and a dear friend of Mad Nick for over 13 years.
William and „Mad Nick“ shared many adventures together, particularly in the DR Congo and in Zambia.
Both men went side by side through many dangerous situations, through successful missions, and above all, they laughed a lot together during their daring ventures. Together they were an unbeatable team for more than a decade.
William even saved Mad Nick's live during one of their missions in 2010.
Much of the footage of „Mad Nick's“ travels and actions in Africa only exists because William filmed the trips with his camera.
Both men sat together in the mud during the rain season in the no man's land of the Congolese jungle, as well as in the most notorious bars of Williams homeland.
William's hospitality was exceptional as was his overall character.
William was a brave man who feared no danger and he was a true old-school adventurer with exceptional business acumen.
William was also a member of the "Special Operation Unit" of „The Order 777“, the legendary counter-terrorist department of „The League“, which was disbanded in 2017.
William will be greatly missed by our organisation, but there shall be no mourning, because it would have been William's wish that we continue our struggle for freedom and justice with all of our strength and joy.
Wes hall deliver William's final words, admonishing our members to never give up the fight:
"No matter the economy of the jungle, the lion will never eat grass."
„The League of the extraordinary Gentlemen“ says goodbye to a truly extraordinary man. We say goodbye to our honorary member and loyal friend.
RIP
Brother William Kaunda aka "Mr. Diesel"

Both men sat together in the mud during the rain season in the no man's land of the Congolese jungle, as well as in the most notorious bars of Williams homeland.
William's hospitality was exceptional as was his overall character.
William was a brave man who feared no danger and he was a true old-school adventurer with exceptional business acumen.
William was also a member of the "Special Operation Unit" of „The Order 777“, the legendary counter-terrorist department of „The League“, which was disbanded in 2017.
William will be greatly missed by our organisation, but there shall be no mourning, because it would have been William's wish that we continue our struggle for freedom and justice with all of our strength and joy.
Wes hall deliver William's final words, admonishing our members to never give up the fight:
"No matter the economy of the jungle, the lion will never eat grass."
„The League of the extraordinary Gentlemen“ says goodbye to a truly extraordinary man. We say goodbye to our honorary member and loyal friend.
RIP
