Trump's litany of lies

Over 7500 lies in 700 days, and Trump is lying faster than ever.
He lied about signing a huge stack of bills (that didn't even exist).
Trump even lied to the troops he met in Iraq about a pay rise he claimed he got for them..

Malignant narcissism is not a presidential quality.

mei li: Screening of “Human Harvest” in Bengaluru, India Exposes China’s Dark Side
September 27, 2018 | By practitioners in India

) Falun Gong practitioners, along with Prakash Belawadi, a noted actor, director, and activist, organized a screening of the prestigious Peabody Award-winning film Human Harvest at Bengaluru’s Suchitra Auditorium on September 16, 2018.

The 100-seat auditorium was nearly filled to capacity, and the documentary left many in the audience deeply concerned and teary-eyed.

Directed by Canadian filmmaker Leon Lee, the 2014 documentary exposes one of the worst genocides in human history. The movie reveals the involvement of Chinese state-run hospitals in the harvesting and selling of organs by murdering thousands of prisoners of conscience, most of whom are Falun Gong practitioners.

The film Human Harvest is based on the investigative work of two Canadian Nobel Peace Prize nominees, David Matas, and David Kilgour. It is recognized for its compelling storytelling and documentation of how innocent prisoners of faith are used as a “live organ bank.”

The screening was followed by a panel discussion with Dr. Shirdi Prasad Tekur, Sanjiv Bhalla, and Aakar Patel and moderated by Prakash Belawadi. [Photo credit: Veeresh NTD India]

After the film, a panel discussion was held by Prakash Belawadi, a noted actor and director; Aakar Patel, Executive Director of Amnesty International; Sanjiv Bhalla, a member of the Falun Dafa Association of India; and Dr. Shirdi Prasad Tekur, a noted pediatrician.

Belawadi, the moderator, started off by saying, “I want to clarify that this is not a political film about China. This is actually about human rights abuses.”

Aakar Patel said, “I thought the film was very interesting… I think that this documentary showed things that China has a lot to answer for. But, ultimately, the source of power for change in any large society rests internally, with its people.”

mei li: Ireland: Forced Organ Harvesting Discussed by Joint Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence
July 15, 2017 | By a Minghui practitioner in Ireland
The Joint Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade and Defence of the Irish Parliament discussed the issue of forced organ harvesting in China on July 6, 2017. The committee recommended that the legislature do what it can to stop this brutality and urged the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade to bring this up at the Council of Foreign Ministers with the European Union.

Renowned human rights lawyer David Matas and investigative writer Ethan Gutmann attended the meeting and were joined by Irish transplant surgeon Conall O'Seaghdha and James McDaid.

Hearing on Forced Organ Harvesting in China by the Joint Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence in the Irish Parliament on July 6, 2017.

Actions Against Heinous Crimes

Committee Chair Brendan Smith said the committee will ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade to raise the issue with the European Union.

Committee Chair Brendan Smith reiterated in the European Convention against Trafficking in Human Organs, adopted in 2015, “The Irish Department of Health must introduce legislation to transpose those provisions into domestic law. All member states can transpose the provisions of that convention into domestic legislation. That is the value of the European convention.”

More specifically, he said that the committee will “communicate directly with the Minister for Health following this meeting, stating that we had a formal meeting with the witnesses in regard to the need to bring forward this legislation.” He is sure this would meet with the approval of both Houses of the Oireachtas.

In addition, the committee will ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade to raise the issue as a specific item at a meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers in the European Union, “Obviously, each Minister can table an item for discussion.”

Smith also sincerely thanked the speakers for their presentations and contributions. “They have exposed extremely frightening and troubling activities which are heinous crimes being committed against vulnerable people. Let me assure them that they have our support and we will be glad to pursue other ways that we can be of assistance.”

mei li: Human Harvest” Screened at Taiwan Legislative Yuan—Exposes Human Rights Crisis in China
December 16, 2017 | By Minghui correspondent Xia Jun

() The Peabody Award-winning film Human Harvest was screened at the Taiwan Legislative Yuan last week. Sponsored by the Taiwan International Organ Transplant Association and several lawmakers, a forum on the topic of state-sanctioned organ harvesting in China was held after the screening.

The viewers said they believed that the Taiwanese government should inform the public, and ban “organ trips” to China.

Lawmakers and sponsors at the forum after the screening.

Illegal Organ Sources in China
The documentary describes evidence showing how many organs used in transplant surgeries were forcibly harvested from imprisoned Falun Gong practitioners.

Dr. Ding Kaiting, a representative from the Organ Transplant Association

Dr. Ding Kaiting, a representative from the Organ Transplant Association, pointed out in his speech at the forum, that it takes 113-138 weeks to find a liver that matches a patient in England, the country that has the best and most mature organ donation system.

“With significantly fewer donors, how can the waiting time in China be only two weeks?” Dr. Ding asked, “This suggests that there are illegal sources in China.”

Chu Wanchi, a lawyer from the Organ Transplant Association, called upon the Taiwanese government not to side with the Chinese Communist Party on this issue. She said she applauds the bill passed in 2015 that bans organ tourism trips to China.

“It is the first such bill in Asia,” Chu said, “But some Taiwanese still go to China for organ surgeries. Law enforcement should address this.”

mei li: Australia: Catholic Weekly Reports on China's Forced Live Organ Harvesting from Imprisoned Falun Gong Practitioners
July 25, 2017
) Catholic Weekly of Australia carried an article online titled “China’s harvest of blood, built upon Falun Dafa prisoners of conscience” by Catherine Sheehan on July 19, 2017.

Sheehan interviewed two Falun Gong practitioners, Eric Jia and his aunt Lorrita Liu, whose family suffer the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) brutal persecution. Jia worries most that his father, a Falun Gong practitioner who has suffered torture in incarceration due to his belief, might be a victim of the CCP's state-sanctioned live organ harvesting from Falun Gong practitioners for lucrative profit.

In the photo is Lorrita Liu, 38 years old, from Xi’an City in Shaanxi Province, and her two sisters, her two young nephews and her mother.

“There are no fathers, no husbands,” the article points out. “They are smiling in the photo, but underneath the smiles the members of this family carry a terrible suffering.

“Lorrita’s father, Jialu Liu, passed away from a sudden heart-attack, brought on by intense persecution from Chinese authorities. 'He suffered under pressure,' Lorrita says.

“In the center of the photo is the kindly face of Lorrita’s 72 year-old mother Yuhua Li, who had just been released from a brainwashing center in Xi’an City the day before our interview. That was the fifth time the elderly woman has been arrested. She has been tortured, repeatedly beaten, shocked with electric batons, deprived of sleep for three days in a row and sent to a forced labor camp for one year.”

Lorrita's sister, Chunxia Liu, is currently detained in Xincheng District Detention Center in Xi’an City. She was arrested along with her mother on March 22 this year.

Lorrita’s 19-year-old nephew Eric Jia worries about whether his dad—Ye Jia—who is still in China, will escape the brutal persecution. He hasn't known his father whereabouts since his release from detention last year. “Eric said, 'He was tortured. He was locked-up on a bunk-bed and the police put chemicals in his mouth and he was vomiting blood. He was beaten by the prison guards.'”

mei li: Slov) Canadian lawyer and Nobel Prize nominee David Matas, who is investigating forced organ harvesting in Chinese prisons, visited Slovakia on September 4-6. He talked in several media interviews about the “body exhibit” that has been on display in Bratislava since August.

Mr. Matas has repeatedly stated that the problem with such exhibitions is that the source of the bodies is unclear. The same is true with organs available for transplant in China. He has been investigating organ transplantation in China for a long time, and according to his findings, the majority of organs for transplant come from prisoners of conscience—mainly Falun Gong practitioners, but also from Uighurs, Tibetans, and Christians. The body exhibition is then part of the same problem as the forced harvesting of organs from prisoners, albeit on a much smaller scale.

Article in a major Slovakian online newspaper on September 6, 2017: “Canadian lawyer: Murdered prisoners of conscience exhibited in Incheba exhibit hall.”

News story: “China has set up a factory for organs. The number of victims is growing.”

On Tuesday, St. Elizabeth University of Health & Social Sciences in Bratislava hosted a presentation by Mr. Matas about the connection between “body exhibits” and transplantation abuse in China. A discussion followed.

Most of the 30 who attended the event, including representatives from the Slovak Medical Council, were disturbed upon hearing the information that Mr. Matas presented, and expressed their willingness to help.

mei li: New Report: “Transplant Abuse Continues in China Despite Claims of Reform”
July 10, 2018 | By a Minghui correspondent and Annie Wu of The Epoch Times

) The China Organ Harvest Research Center (COHRC) presented its most up-to-date research results at the 27th International Congress of The Transplantation Society in Madrid, Spain, which took place from June 30 to July 5. The researchers documented their findings in a new 341-page report titled “Transplant Abuse in China Continues Despite Claims of Reform.”

A number of national news outlets in Spain and international media have covered the organ harvesting issue upon the report’s release. The new report can be found on the COHRC website at ChinaOrganHarvest.org.

David Li, a co-author of the new report, presents his team's findings at the International Congress of The Transplantation Society on July 2.

The Chinese government asserted in 2015 that it had ceased extracting organs from executed death-row prisoners and transitioned completely to ethical organ sourcing. However, international observers have raised doubt that a process that took decades in other countries could be accomplished overnight.

The authors of the report collected data on new developments in the Chinese organ donation system after 2015, analyzed hundreds of transplant hospitals, government and industry statements, official policies and legislation, actual donation figures from various regions, the abuse of brain death criteria, and the broader operation of China’s donation and transplant system. The new report concludes:

Transplants outpace donations: The number of voluntary donations in China remains extremely low relative to the size of the transplant industry. At the end of 2017, the official count of registered donors was 373,536. If one applies the ratio of registered and actual donors in the United States to this total, such a donor base would have yielded fewer than 29 organ donors for transplants in China. The sum of reported donation numbers (mainly from non-registered donors in intensive care units) in each region was also far fewer than the official figure of 15,000 transplants performed. Yet tens of thousands of transplants are performed at Chinese hospitals each year.

On-demand transplants to foreigners continue: Official Chinese statements that no transplants are performed for foreigners have been discredited by recent investigations. In October 2017, journalists from a major Korean television station found that foreign patients from other parts of Asia and the Middle East are still flocking to one of the largest transplant centers in China. Patients were quoted wait times of just days or weeks, with additional monetary “donations” to the hospital resulting in expedited surgeries.

Regulation has not kept pace with claimed reform: China’s organ donation system and regulatory framework are still in their infancy and cannot support the number of transplants being performed in China and their on-demand nature. Agencies providing oversight for the donation system remain empty shells, and most organs used for transplants do not come from the national donation and allocation system that is often presented to the international community.

An alternate source of organs remains necessary: Because voluntary donations cannot support the number of transplants performed and experts acknowledge that criminal executions have shrunk in recent years, most of the organs are continuously taken from prisoners of conscience in extrajudicial killings. The primary victims are Falun Gong practitioners, who remain the largest group of prisoners of conscience in China, and have been systematically detained, imprisoned, tortured, and forcibly given blood tests and medical examinations both in state custody and in their homes.

mei li: Germ) Tourists and passersby in the town of Trier recently had a chance to learn about the brutal persecution of Falun Gong in China and in particular about organ harvesting atrocities.

Falun Gong practitioners from Rhineland-Palatinate, Saarland, and Baden-Württemberg held an event there on April 22.

Trier, which was founded more than 2000 years ago, claims to be the oldest city in Germany. There are many Roman monuments in this city, which is also the birthplace of Karl Marx. Tourists from different countries like to visit Trier, and practitioners spoke to them as well as to the townspeople.

Locals and tourists in Trier learn about the persecution of Falun Gong.

After signing a petition in support of Falun Gong, one lady said, “Organ harvesting is just terrible. It is good that there are still people like you, who stir us up.”

A member of Trier city council wanted to know what Falun Gong is and why practitioners were being persecuted and killed.

One woman signed the petition right away, but her husband seemed reluctant and was about to leave. His wife encouraged him until he signed, too. After that, his attitude changed, and they expressed their appreciation.

One woman said, “It is great that you do this […] It takes courageous people like you to go out and inform the public about something like this.”

Another couple signed the petition and then learned that some countries had already passed laws against forced organ harvesting. They said, “Thank you for your commitment. It is not right that people have to die and that the organ recipients go back to their country to be treated there.” In their opinion, laws that prevent health insurances from covering and doctors from treating patients who go to China to get an organ and return to their own country to be taken care of should be enforced.

A woman in the medical field, who said that she knew about the organ harvesting atrocities, commented, “Every human life is valuable. Harvesting organs like this is a crime and should not happen.”

mei li: Independent Tribunal Affirms Large-Scale State-Sanctioned Forced Organ Harvesting in China
December 23, 2018 | By Minghui, The Epoch Times, and NTDTV staff members
) An independent tribunal has unanimously concluded that forced organ harvesting from prisoners of conscience has taken place in China on a substantial scale.

The interim judgement by the Independent Tribunal Into Forced Organ Harvesting from Prisoners Of Conscience in China (the China Tribunal) was delivered in London on December 10, 2018, following three days of public hearings where witnesses, medical experts, and investigators submitted evidence.

Chaired by Sir Geoffrey Nice, QC, who led the prosecution of Slobodan Milošević at the International Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, the China Tribunal is a coalition of lawyers, academics, ethicists, medical professionals, researchers, and human rights advocates dedicated to ending forced organ harvesting in China.

The tribunal seeks to establish whether criminal offenses have been committed by the state or state-approved organizations in China, and which individuals may have engaged in forced organ harvesting. A final judgement is due in spring 2019, and though it will carry no legal authority, it will serve as an evidence-based record that can place pressure on international organizations and raise public awareness.

Sir Geoffrey said, “Oxygen of publicity may allow the real oxygen of life to continue for those who might otherwise be killed.”

Falun Gong practitioner Annie Yang gives testimony at the tribunal on December 8.

Lawyer Hamid Sabi and his team working at the tribunal's hearing.

The judgment was made after hearing evidence from 30 witnesses, including Chinese refugees who fled persecution after being detained in China. A dozen Falun Gong practitioners gave their testimony at the hearings, detailing the torture they suffered in China, including force-feedings, starvation, electrocution, and beatings.

“We, the tribunal members, are all certain, unanimously, beyond reasonable doubt, that in China forced organ harvesting from prisoners of conscience has been practiced for a substantial period of time, involving a very substantial number of victims… by state-organized or approved organizations or individuals,” Sir Geoffrey said.
