I’m a huge fan of yours, Dr. Malone. You came to my city, Santa Barbara, and gave a talk during Covid. I believe it was my friend, Justin Shores, who asked you to speak and it was a really important event. Thank you for that and for this article. I first learned about the Falun Gong organ harvesting when I was living in downtown NYC over a decade ago and would walk by practitioners on my way to Chinatown. I learned from talking to some of them about the organ harvesting in China. So I became one of the early subscribers to Epoch Times and also sent small donations to the Campaign for Uyghurs. It was astonishing to me that people I knew in NYC who considered themselves informed knew nothing about this. When I would suggest they read Epoch Times they would snort with derision at what they saw as a right wing conspiracy theory spreader. These were people in the media. They couldn’t be bothered to set aside their prejudices to read about something. I told them that reading about it didn’t make me right wing, it just made me informed. No response. The CCP has been very effective at enlisting the American legacy media in its plans.

I am a democratic socialist and I would rather see far-right Falun Gong run China than the odious Communist Part. But that is not going to happen for a long long time, if ever.
Agree, Marc. Speaking of Democratic Socialists, has Mamdani spoken on behalf of the Uyghers? Or is he too busy trying to get the unions to keep NYC going during the snowstorm and begging for favors from Donald? I lived in downtown NYC for 30 years before moving back home to the central coast of California saw some of the aftermath of the Lindsay Democratic Socialist years…. Taxi Driver wasn’t a fictional movie, it was a documentary.
Of course I know about Mandami, but I do not live in New York. So for that and other reasons, I will only be tuning into what is going on there once in a while. I have not looked at news from NY since his inauguration so I can't answer your questions about what he is doing. ( I can't follow everything ! LOL ) No question that he is now a major figure on on the American Democratic Socialist Left and he deserves to be followed. I love his references to Fiorello Laguardia, about whom I informed myself a bit. Nice to see a fellow Italian do some good as mayor there in the 1930s , unlike those Italians in Italy who were brutal fascists.
I saw most of Mandami's inauguration, and it was neat to see Sanders swearing him in. I did not know Sanders could do something like that!
And I totally agree with you about the general alienated empty vibe of "Taxi Driver". I have only visited NY 3 times and that was enough for me. It was just like in "Taxi Driver". I would never live there. Then again, I wish I did not have to live in any big city, but circumstances force me now to live in one these days . I despise all big cities.
My question is why is organ harvesting such a thriving business? Israel harvests organs from Palestinian prisoners. UK harvest organs from sexually used up trafficked children. How many people need transplants and can afford the procedures?
“America’s Biggest Adversary!!!” Why not start and end with looking at ‘our’ complicity in crimes again the human family, against all life and mother earth committed by ‘us’, and by ‘our designated greatest ‘allies’ & ‘adversaries’’, right now, every hour of the day?
Maybe the biggest part of the problem is creating Big Adversaries to deflect ‘our’ complicity!
And who btw are the main beneficiaries? & Who Profits?
An awesome must-have book! It's on my short list, for sure. Thanks to all of you who brought this ongoing vile practice of an evil, without conscience China to the public. It's a nightmare NO man, woman, or child should be subjected to. China is death, destruction and denial. May its punishment come sooner than later. As you can read, I'm shocked and appalled. The worst movie every made doesn't compare to this...
Here is some info about "Organ Tourism " from AI Overview.
Organ tourism, more formally known as transplant tourism, is a globally condemned, and often illegal, practice where individuals travel to another country to receive an organ transplant outside of their home nation's regulated medical system. This practice is driven by the significant shortage of organs available through legal, ethical channels and the long wait times for transplants in many developed countries.
Ethical and Legal Issues
Transplant tourism raises serious ethical and legal concerns and is widely condemned by international organizations including the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Declaration of Istanbul on Organ Trafficking and Transplant Tourism.
Exploitation of the Vulnerable: Organs are typically sourced from poor and vulnerable individuals in developing nations who are often coerced or deceived into donation, receiving minimal payment, or in some cases, no payment at all.
Organ Trafficking: The practice often involves organ trafficking, defined as the removal of organs without valid consent or through coercion, which is a form of human trafficking and a significant human rights violation.
Legality: The commercial sale of organs is illegal in all countries except Iran, which has a highly regulated system that prohibits non-citizens from participating. Many countries have enacted laws to penalize citizens who engage in transplant tourism abroad.
Undermining Domestic Systems: Travel for transplantation can undermine a country's ability to provide transplant services for its own population and can discourage altruistic donation if the public perceives the system as unfair.
Health Risks
Transplant tourism carries substantial health risks for both the donor and the recipient.
For Recipients: Recipients face a higher risk of surgical complications, organ failure, cancer, death, and a variety of severe, sometimes fatal, infections (bacterial, viral, and fungal) due to inadequate donor screening and substandard medical facilities.
For Donors: Donors often experience negative health consequences, a lack of appropriate follow-up medical care, reduced physical ability, and complex psychological trauma. Despite promises of significant financial gain, many donors remain trapped in poverty or end up in a worse financial state.
Lack of Follow-up Care: Medical records from the transplant location are often unavailable to the recipient's home transplant team, complicating post-operative care.
Global Response
The international community is working to combat transplant tourism by promoting national self-sufficiency in organ donation, improving legal frameworks, and encouraging collaboration between medical and law enforcement agencies. Efforts focus on increasing the supply of legally donated organs through robust deceased donor programs and ensuring all donations are made altruistically and voluntarily.
I was horrified by what I read. Really stunned .The people running China are sadistic and inhuman, Red Fascists ,one author (named Wilhelm Reich) called the Communists. And the people doing this organ harvesting specifically are as bad as the Nazi doctors.
Thank you Dr Malone and Epoch Times for this plea for humanity and decency.
One question that can perhaps be answered by someone: do these stolen organs get to people here in the West? Maybe I missed something in reading the article.

It's not China as a whole, but the Chinese Communist Party.
Israel is prominent in organ harvesting from Palestinians.
Israel also manages Ukrainian organ trafficking, from what I read...
This is a special form of organized crime...
You want Falun Gong kidney, Palestinian kidney, or Ukrainian kidney?
All from 13 year olds! ;-D
Horrifying!
