This article from ABC News<\/a> talks about two Canadian lawyers (one of them is former MP David Kilgour of Edmonton) investigating allegations that imprisoned Falun Gong<\/a> members are used as organ donors. Falun Gong is a recent religion, 1992, a variation of Buddhism. The founder, Li Hongzhi has claimed the following supernatural powers: invisibility, being able to control other people’s movements by his thoughts, and to move himself anywhere he wanted to by thought as well. Falun Gong was declared illegal to practice in China seven years ago. <\/p>\n

This is an exerpt from the article<\/a> citing Kilgour’s investigation:<\/p>\n

One call, made on June 8, was to a Mr. Li in the Mishan City Detention Center in Heilongjiang province, according to the transcript.<\/p>\n

“Do you have Falun Gong (organ) suppliers?” Li was asked.<\/p>\n

“We used to have, yes,” he replied.<\/p>\n

“What about now?”<\/p>\n

“Yes,” Li replied.<\/p>\n

“Can we come to select, or you provide directly to us?”<\/p>\n

“We provide them to you,” Li said, adding that price would be discussed when the caller arrived. He said he had “quite a few” Falun Gong males under age 40 from whom organs could be taken.<\/p>\n

Kilgour released the transcript of an interview he conducted with a woman who said her former husband, a surgeon, had taken corneas from 2,000 people over two years. She said the victims would first be given an injection that would cause heart failure.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Amber and I watched The Manchurian Candidate<\/a> a week ago. Her comment was that it was hard to believe that people could be so cruel. Not so hard to believe after reading this article. <\/p>\n

It is interesting that one of the focuses of Falun Gong is a coming apocalypse, an end to civilization because of moral depravity. Not a new concept, really, but forever relevant. <\/p>\n

Another thing that interests me is what the world will do to save a 30-year-old Chinese man, imprisoned for his beliefs, only to be murdered for his organs. My guess is a lot less would be done than for a 30-year-old Canadian man serving in a foreign country were to be robbed and killed. That is too bad. I should rethink that, probably not a lot would be done if the Canadian were killed either. I haven’t done anything about the medical team from MSF<\/a> and their guides who were killed in Afghanistan. My buddy Carl sent me a film today with a team from Stony Plain. Beyond the Gates of Splendor<\/a> is about missionaries killed in Ecuador and how redemption comes to this tribe. <\/p>\n

We can hope our End will serve a purpose greater than we are.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
