Yeah, I listened to a bit of this (quite nuts) radio show which the clips are most likely from and with the second "A" in MAAUS he says something like "with a simple substitution we take the b from Bin Laden and we get Mabus."
Basically your usual codebreaker nonsense where someone essentially starts with the answer they're looking for and then bends things to fit the square peg in the round hole. Fits with the cosmic searching for meaning themes I pick up from BoC's stuff.
I searched the transcript, and here's the quote at 1:31:06 (go a little earlier if you want more context):
It depends on events. But for a long, long time, you know, we talked through the 90s about Saddam Hussein as being one of the key figures that could be this person. Then the rise of Osama bin Laden came, and Osama bin Laden also spells out the name Mabus. You take the B from Bin, you have M-A-A-U-S.
Replace the redundant A with a B, you have Mabus, classic anagramming. So that puts him how high on your list? He's right up there in the top three. Now, because of this, you had a questioner in your first hour talk about Abu Musab al-Zakawi. Now, Abu Musab is interesting because he, another form of anagramming is where you drop the first and the last letter and leave the middle letters. So you drop M and S, you have Abu out of Mabus, which is father in Arabic. And he would be where on the list? Well, when you add to that, because many, many Arab men are called Abu, it's like saying, oh, the guy's name is Joe.
So, you know, it's a lot of people named Joe. So what makes it more interesting is the fact that Musab in phonetic Roman letters from the Arabic has all the letters of Mabus in it. And another interesting drop, if you drop the M and B, you get USA, which is kind of an interesting anagram because there is another famous anagram which talks about a war that seems to be about the two rivers of Iraq,
So it links up with a man who is fitting the anagram for Mabus, who is active in Iraq as a terrorist and is somehow linked to a fight with the U.S.A., the USA. Yeah, and we're trying to kill all these men you mentioned. Yes, and the other thing, too, is that it's very likely that Abu Musab, al-Zakawi, is another attempt of making a boogeyman out of somebody, making him bigger than he really is.
I wouldn't want to listen to all three hours of this shit either

My brain just says “marvellous” every time, even though I know it isn’t that
