Chinese accused of vast trade in organs
Washington Times ^ | 4-27-10 | Julia Duin

China's hidden policy of executing prisoners of the forbidden quasi-Buddhist group Falun Gong and harvesting their organs for worldwide sale has been expanded to include Tibetans, "house church" Christians and Muslim Uighurs, human rights activists said Monday.

In a news conference on Capitol Hill, several speakers, including attorney David Matas of B'nai Brith Canada and Ethan Gutmann of the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, said their investigations have unearthed a grisly trade in which an estimated 9,000 members of Falun Gong have been executed for their corneas, lungs, livers, kidneys and skins.

They likened the practice to the Nazi treatment of Jewish prisoners in World War II concentration camps, which included using them for sadistic medical experiments and taking the gold fillings from the teeth of corpses.

The newest wrinkle, they said, is that organs from other religious prisoners — specifically dissidents from China's Christian, Muslim and Tibetan Buddhist communities — are also being harvested to satisfy an insatiable global demand.

"These groups are useless to the state," said Mr. Gutmann, author of a forthcoming book on Falun Gong, also known as Falun Dafa. "They are toxic, so you can't release them. But they're worth a great deal of money in terms of their organs."

Organs from just one person can fetch a total of $100,000 on the worldwide market, he added.

There are some pretty dark secrets that these Chinese are hiding from the World. I must remind some of the Chinese apologists, Hitler didn’t come about until AFTER the Great Depression. Let’s just hope that some disaster doesn’t cause a systematic event in China that pushes the country into an extreme Nationalist Socialist movement. Sure, it doesn’t seem plausible today. But if these despots are destined to surpass the USA in the size of our Hegemony, the future has to seem uncertain no matter how much of an optimist you are.

What many people do not realize is that China has flirted with free market reforms in the past. I just finished reading "Life and Death in Shanghai". It is a story about a woman who worked for Shell in China. Mao then decided to kick all the foreign corporations out and imprison or "re-educate" the poor Chinese people who did nothing wrong but work for the corporations.

As we become more totalitarian and lose our international clout which direction do think China will once again swing?

The chicoms have an estimated surplus of 20+ million young men. That has always meant war. I’ve been an advocate for a pre-emptive nuclear attack on their military and command structure for years.
Probably too late now.

From the article;

I completely agree. Vivisecting to harvest people's organs is not a joking matter.

He read it here. Also, the picture of people playing organs with the caption of “blah blah”. Can the superfool come up with some good one-liners from Sobibor or Auschwitz?
