Bloody Harvest; The Killing of Falun Gong for Their Organs, Final Ed.

In superpolluted modern China the wages of sin for the nouveau riche super corrupt are super expensive organ transplants and who is better qualified to supply them than the prayerful super healthy yogas whether they volunteer or not. Thousands perish every year at the sharp knives of the superrich surgeons as buses of demonized religious prisoners arrive at the gates for their final hour. The smokestacks of the creamatoria send a modern day signal not unlike the final solution to religious discords of the past. But it is not good enough to just kill the healthiest falun gong.The tortured bodies of its members serve as a red flag to the contrast of good and evil in a hell-bent show of the results of unbridled greed and twisted power. Just how cheap has life become in China? What does the family see when the corpse arrives? "At the Huangshanzuizi Crematory in Harbin City, Mr. Zhang's family members saw his body, which had been brutalized beyond recognition and was appallingly disfigured. One of his legs was broken. One of his eyeballs was missing and the socket was caved in, leaving a gaping hole. There was virtually no skin on his head, face, and most parts of his body, and there was not a single tooth left in his lower jaw, which was shattered. His clothes were also gone. Bruises and wounds could be seen everywhere on his body. There was a long cut on his chest, which had obviously been sewn up later. His chest was also caved in, his skull was opened, and a part of his brain was removed. His internal organs were missing." It becomes clear why human rights is a dirty word in the Chinese vocabulary. In this book, compiled by a team of international legal experts, advocates have carefully assembled the evidence of decades of abuse into an airtight legal case. The "china problem" is complex, this is one of its many dimensions. To the newly moneyed anything in the store is for sale and the planet is the store. A nervous Nellie might see this economic gymnasium view of life as the bigger problem, one with the capacity to effect every nation on the planet, not only the downcast citizens of China itself. Falun Gong is a modern day spiritual/exercise movement which began in China in 1991 drawing on and combining ancient Chinese traditions. The Chinese Communist Party, alarmed at the growth of the movement and fearing for its own ideological supremacy banned the movement in 1999. Falun Gong practitioners were arrested in the hundreds of thousands and asked to recant. If they did not, they were tortured. If they still did not recant, they disappeared. Allegations surfaced in 2006 that the disappeared were being killed for their organs which were sold for large sums mostly to foreign transplant tourists. It is generally accepted that China kills prisoners for organs. The debate is over whether the prisoners who are killed are only criminals sentenced to death or Falun Gong practitioners as well. The authors produced a report concluding that the allegations were true. Bloody Harvest sets out the investigations and conclusions of the authors.
