ATL host Jan Jikelek launches new book,
Killed to Order, exposing CCP's organ harvesting.
For more than 20 years,
what has been done to counter the Chinese communist regimes
industrial scale practice of forced organ harvesting
from living prisoners of conscience
has remained limited and mostly in independent capacities.
Experts have said this is due, in part,
to the crime's unbelievable nature
and the sheer volume of piecemeal evidence.
When I first heard about it, I didn't want to believe it.
I just felt revulsion.
Jan Jikelek said on Epic TV's American Thought Leaders,
where he took the interviewee's seat for the first time
with guest host Rob Schneider.
I already knew what the Chinese Communist Party was capable of,
broadly, but I didn't want to accept that this could be happening
because it's so extreme, Jikelek said.
On March 17, Jikelek's book Killed to Order,
China's organ harvesting industry and the true nature
of America's biggest adversary launches,
pulling together the most compelling evidence,
amassed over the better part of 20 years
to expose a crime that continues to grow.
What began as a project to extend Chinese communist
party elite's life spans took a sinister turn
after then CCP dictator Jiang Zemin
ordered the eradication of a peaceful spiritual practice
that one in 13 Chinese people had taken up
by the late 1990s as explained in Killed to Order.
Suddenly, a regime with no moral limits
already accused of funding unethical medical experimentation
had at its disposal likely millions
of incarcerated prisoners of conscience.
Spike and Chinese transplants.
Fallen Gong, also known as Fallen Dafa,
is a spiritual practice centered around the principles
of truth, compassion, and tolerance.
Jikelek, a Fallen Gong practitioner himself outlines
in his book The Circumstances in which the practice rose
to popularity in China and the subsequent persecution
in which the CCP branded practitioners
enemies of the state overnight.
In the early 2000s, reports emerged from Fallen Gong
practitioners claiming they had received unknown injections
and undergone blood tests while imprisoned for their faith,
but they did not know the purpose.
It was not until a whistleblower in 2006
disclosed that her ex-husband, a surgeon,
admitted to transplanting some 2,000 corneas
from live prisoners of conscience that led independent
investigations to the source of the spike
in Chinese organ transplants, Fallen Gong practitioners.
I remember in 2005 the UN Human Rights Commission
there was the special rapporteur on torture.
His name was Manfred Noak.
He estimated that half of all the people
in the entire system were Fallen Gong practitioners, Jikelek said.
They built this on the backs of the Fallen Gong
The whole Chinese transplant industry grows
geometrically from 2000 to 2005.
By the end of the 2000s,
we've got to 90,000 transplants a year being done.
That's the best estimate.
It's very hard to estimate.
This is a state secret.
They don't have statistics.
They pretend it's not happening.
For comparison, Jikelek said,
the United States hit a record number of organ transplants
There are indications that as China has grown
its transplant industry and expertise,
unethical organ transplantation and organ harvesting
are targeting people beyond Fallen Gong practitioners.
One example is the Uyghur population in Xinjiang,
which is already undergoing what the United States
has designated a genocide
as the CCP systemically erases Uyghur culture.
I hate even saying this,
but there actually is a global market
for what they call Halal organ's Jikelek said.
Industrial scale system.
Schneider and Jikelek compared the scale
of the CCP's organ harvesting system to the Holocaust,
noting that before the surgeon picks up the scalpel,
thousands of people have to be involved in order
to perpetuate this crime on a state scale.
It's not just the transplant surgeons,
it's everybody else in the system, Jikelek said.
There's a lot of people that need to participate
in order to achieve an organ transplantation situation.
Schneider expressed disbelief that this program
has managed to survive up to the present.
This being exposed is the only chance we have to stop this
and save these Uyghurs and Fallen Gong members
from this continual and voluntary organ transplantation
and the murder of a massive,
massive amount of human beings, Schneider said.
I think it's one of the great evils ever.
The requiring of somebody's death for your survival,
to me, is the most perverse thing I've ever heard in medicine.
This abuse with killing on demand killed to order
is something that is unique in the history of humanity.
Killed to order launches March 17th.
It is currently available for preorder.
