Scandalous Organ Harvesting

Scandalous Organ Harvesting



There are terrifying indications that, in some cases, patients’ organs are being taken when they aren’t dead or wouldn’t have died. Medicine without morals is a recipe for disaster.



The Department of Health and Human Services reports that the organ transplant system is compromised. “Our findings show that hospitals allowed the organ procurement process to begin when patients showed signs of life, and this is horrifying,” said Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. “The organ procurement organizations that coordinate access to transplants will be held accountable. The entire system must be fixed to ensure that every potential donor’s life is treated with the sanctity it deserves.”

A House panel is now investigating, as well.

The medical field is full of people who do their jobs well, caring (deeply) for patients and lamenting every malady or misstep in treatment while working diligently to provide exactly the kind of care every patient wants and needs. I have many family members and friends who work or worked in the medical field, and they are excellent at what they do. The same could be said for countless others, as well.

Yet, sadly, it certainly wouldn’t be surprising to learn that the medical establishment has made a hash of organ donations. This same establishment badly mishandled the coronavirus pandemic (including denying organ transplants for some unvaccinated people), has been aborting millions of children for decades, is increasingly pushing to terminate the elderly or terminally ill, and has been profiting mightily from those suffering from gender pathology.

There is, after all, a lot of money to be made from organ transplants, and if donors need a little “encouragement,” well, maybe it’s best for everyone. At least that’s the allegation.

Thanks to the Uniform Anatomical Gift Act of 1968, when you get a driver’s license in all 50 states, one of the questions you answer is whether you’ll be an organ donor. Roughly 170 million Americans have chosen to do so. “There are currently more than 103,000 men, women and children on the national transplant waiting list,” Fox News reports. “Each day, 13 people die while waiting for an organ transplant.” There are 56 authorized procurement organizations nationwide.

According to Cornell Law School, “The [Uniform Anatomical Gift Act] was revised in 1987 and again in 2006. The revisions made in 2006 aimed to address shortages and encourage donation. The 2006 revised act expanded the list of persons who can consent to organ donation on behalf of an individual, gave every individual the opportunity to donate their organs at or near death, and stated that individuals who refuse to donate must explicitly state so.”

It seems it’s now opt-out. “What safeguards are in place?” asked commentator Matt Walsh. What prevents hospitals from letting a patient die of circulatory failure (or worse) to cash in on lucrative organ donations?

Maybe not enough. Walsh, The New York TimesThe Washington PostNational Review, and others tell the stories of multiple patients who were (sometimes almost) subjected to surgical organ removal when that likely shouldn’t have happened. In some cases, the donor died; in others, they later recovered. One patient woke up on the operating table. Another was discovered to have a beating heart after the surgeon cut into her sternum; doctors stopped and stitched her up, but she later died.

Walsh noted that such stories “led the Trump administration to investigate the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network, which administers the organ transplant program that Congress established.”

The aforementioned HHS report says that the Health Resources and Services Administration “examined 351 cases where organ donation was authorized, but ultimately not completed. It found:

  • "103 cases (29.3%) showed concerning features, including 73 patients with neurological signs incompatible with organ donation.

  • "At least 28 patients may not have been deceased at the time organ procurement was initiated — raising serious ethical and legal questions.

  • "Evidence pointed to poor neurologic assessments, lack of coordination with medical teams, questionable consent practices, and misclassification of causes of death, particularly in overdose cases.”

These are all cases of “heart death” as opposed to “brain death,” which tends to be clearer.

Did the HHS investigation just happen to find the worst cases? Is it an overestimate of the problem nationwide? Again, I’m asking those questions of the same establishment responsible for COVID tyranny, abortion, euthanasia, and gender mutilation, so my presumption isn’t kind.

The irony is that these instances of abuse will cause more people to think twice about or decline to be organ donors, which will leave those in need without hope. Organ recipients may always wonder if someone was killed to save their life.

My sometimes demented mind went to the hilarious “bring out your dead” sketch from “Monty Python and the Holy Grail.” The collector of dead bodies arrived to find a man protesting that he was still alive, though he was being carried by another man who wanted to be rid of him. “I feel fine,” the poor fellow insisted. “I think I’ll go for a walk.” The man with the cart soon whacked him on the head with a club so he could be taken on the cart to the morgue.

Like other Monty Python humor, that was supposed to be comedy, not an instruction manual. In real life, of course, it’s not even remotely funny.

In fact, the problem is precisely what Kennedy alluded to: Our society no longer values the sanctity of life. We’ve devalued it to the point of prioritizing “quality” or “convenience” over upholding the fact that we are each created in the image of God. Our Declaration of Independence, which will turn 250 in a year, recognizes that our Creator “endowed” us with “certain unalienable Rights,” and “that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

The more our society deviates from and outright rejects the Judeo-Christian values upon which our Republic was built, the more we’re going to hear horrific stories about the way people are treated and killed for profit.

One of the most important provisions in the One Big Beautiful Bill has gone completely unnoticed, but promises to make the auto industry great again.

For 50 years, the federal government has been forcing fuel economy standards on auto companies. If the average fuel economy of the cars sold in a year exceeded a federal standard, the companies had to cough up enormous penalties.

Passed in 1975 as a way to deal with an energy crisis (that was caused by government price controls), “corporate average fuel economy” (CAFE) standards – required the fleet of cars sold by an automaker to achieve an arbitrary miles-per-gallon goal. If they missed the goal, they paid hefty annual fines.

DC police commander under investigation for allegedly manipulating crime stats


Union blows whistle on alleged downgrading of offenses.

The Metropolitan Police Department is embroiled in controversy over allegations related to its reported crime statistics.

The Washington, D.C., department placed Police Commander Michael Pulliam on paid administrative leave in May after a police union accused the MPD of deliberately manipulating crime data, several law enforcement sources told WRC-TV.

'This is deliberately done.'

Pulliam, who is under investigation, denied the allegations.

Gregg Pemberton, the chairman of the D.C. Police Union, a branch of the Fraternal Order of Police, explained to WRC how the statistics are manipulated to make it appear that crime has declined. The union also warned about a larger trend of supervisors instructing employees to engage in such practices.

"When our members respond to the scene of a felony offense where there is a victim reporting that a felony occurred, inevitably there will be a lieutenant or a captain that will show up on that scene and direct those members to take a report for a lesser offense," Pemberton said. "So instead of taking a report for a shooting or a stabbing or a carjacking, they will order that officer to take a report for a theft or an injured person to the hospital or a felony assault, which is not the same type of classification."

Pemberton stated that crimes that should be reported as involving a suspect armed with a dangerous weapon have instead been documented as felony assaults.

"When management officials are directing officers to take reports for felony assault, or if they're going back into police databases and changing offenses to felony assault, felony assault is not a category of crime that's listed on the department's daily crime stats," he continued. "It's also not something that's a requirement of the FBI's uniform crime reporting program. So by changing criminal offenses from, for example, ADW bat or ADW gun to felony assault, that would avoid both the MPD and the FBI from reporting that as a part one or a felony offense."

Pemberton claimed that union members had reported that the directive came from command staff who want to ensure that the "classifications of these reports are adjusted over time to make sure that the overall crime stats stay down."

"This is deliberately done," he told WRC.

Pemberton called the MPD's reported severe drop in crime "preposterous," adding that there is "absolutely no way."

"Last year they suggested that it went down 34%," he said.

As of Thursday morning, the department's crime data stated that violent offenses are down 26% when compared to the same time last year. A breakdown of those violent offenses included a 47% decline in sexual abuse and a 28% decline in robberies.

Chief Pamela Smith told WRC that the department cannot comment on an ongoing investigation; however, she did address the union's allegations.

"The Metropolitan Police Department is committed to upholding the trust and the confidence of the public," Smith said. "Any irregularity in crime data brought to my attention will be addressed immediately. I do not condone any official reclassifying criminal offenses outside the guidelines set in MPD policy. Any allegation of this behavior will be dealt with through our internal processes, which will ensure those members are held accountable. I have the utmost confidence in the command staff leadership currently in place across the Metropolitan Police Department."

The union's allegations follow comments earlier this month from President Donald Trump, who stated that he was considering having his administration run Washington, D.C., due to the local leadership's inability to significantly reduce crime. 

"We have tremendous power at the White House to run places when we have to," Trump stated. "We could run D.C."

He noted that White House chief of staff Susie Wiles is "working very closely" with Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser (D) to reduce crime.

A win against the insidious transgender ideology madness and freedom of religious beliefs


The rule meant that she wasn't even allowed to adopt children who agreed with her beliefs. 

A Christian mother will be able to begin the adoption process and continue her lawsuit against the state of Oregon after the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruledin her favor on Thursday.

Jessica Bates said that she was inspired to become a foster mother to two children after her husband died in a car crash in 2017. She is a single mom to five biological children.

The rule meant that she wasn't even allowed to adopt children who agreed with her beliefs. 

A Christian mother will be able to begin the adoption process and continue her lawsuit against the state of Oregon after the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruledin her favor on Thursday.

Jessica Bates said that she was inspired to become a foster mother to two children after her husband died in a car crash in 2017. She is a single mom to five biological children.

'The Ninth Circuit's decision upholds free speech and the free exercise of religionfor Christian families hoping to foster or adopt and to open their loving homes to children in need.'

Bates went to Oregon's foster care system, but she hit a roadblock when the Oregon's Department of Human Services notified her that foster homes needed to respect children's "sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression" as a matter of official policy.

She cited her Christian faith in rejecting that policy.

"I need to let you know I cannot support this behavior in a child," she wrote in a note to DHS. "I have no problem loving them and accepting them as they are, but I would not encourage them in this behavior. I believe God gives us our gender/sex and it's not something we get to choose."

Bates filed a lawsuit against Oregon with the Alliance Defending Freedom, and in November a judge ruled against her, which led to the appeal to the Ninth Circuit.

"This Court questions whether plaintiff's willingness to 'love and support' a child is sufficient to ensure that the child will feel loved and supported," the ruling reads.

On Thursday, an appeals court said that she could be allowed to begin the process of adoption from foster care as the case continues through the legal system.


 

ADF senior counsel Jonathan Scruggs praised the ruling in a statement Thursday.

“Because caregivers like Jessica cannot promote Oregon’s dangerous gender ideology to young kids and take them to events like pride parades, the state considers them to be unfit parents," Scruggs said. "That is false and incredibly dangerous, needlessly depriving kids of opportunities to find a loving home. The 9th Circuit was right to remind Oregon that the foster and adoption system is supposed to serve the best interests of children, not the state’s ideological crusade.”

The ADF said that the rule from Oregon meant that Bates was not even able to adopt children who share her religious beliefs.

Andrea Picciotti-Bayer, the director of the Conscience Project, commented on the development in a statement to the Blaze.

"The sinister assault of progressive gender ideology on Oregon's most vulnerable children was finally shut down," she said. "The Ninth Circuit's decision upholds free speech and the free exercise of religion for Christian families hoping to foster or adopt and to open their loving homes to children in need."

The Obama/Democrat/Deep State coup

Now, we find out if anyone in government still believes in justice — or if it’s all just theater for the rubes.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard — one of the few people in Washington who still seems to believe public service means serving the public — has ignited a political firestorm with her latest move. In a stunning act of transparency and defiance, Gabbard declassified over 100 pages of intelligence documents she claims expose a “treasonous conspiracy” orchestrated by senior Obama-era officials to fabricate the false appearance that Russia helped elect Donald Trump in 2016.

Not only did she release these documents publicly, but she also referred the matter to the FBI and Department of Justice for possible criminal prosecution. Her list of alleged conspirators includes former President Barack Obama, former CIA Director John Brennan, former FBI Director James Comey, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, and former National Security Adviser Susan Rice.

If the Justice Department doesn’t act, the deep state will be confirmed — not as a 'conspiracy theory,' but as a fact.

Gabbard says the documents prove what many Americans have suspected for years: The entire Russia collusion narrative was not only false but knowingly manufactured and politically weaponized. She claims the declassified assessments directly contradict the official narrative, showing analysts concluded Russia had neither intent nor capability to sway the election.

Instead, Gabbard says Obama and his top advisers cherry-picked and distorted intelligence to craft a narrative that could undermine Trump’s presidency before it began. That narrative, of course, fueled the Mueller probe, impeachments, FISA warrants, and years of media hysteria.

The significance of Gabbard’s referral can’t be overstated. It’s not just a political gesture — she’s handing real evidence to prosecutors and demanding real consequences. While most of D.C. hides behind process and posturing, Gabbard is doing what Congress refused to do: treat treason like treason.

She’s one of the only officials in Washington doing her job, regardless of party or personality. In Gabbard’s eyes, the rule of law applies to everyone.

Whether the Justice Department takes up the referral remains to be seen. The agency has confirmed receipt and reportedly assembled an internal strike force to assess the claims. That’s a notable development. But considering the department’s track record, expectations remain low. Many believe the department prioritizes preserving the status quo over seeking justice. If past trends hold, the smart money says they’ll delay, deflect, and ultimately decline to prosecute — and that outcome, by itself, would be a great shame.

‘People want hangings’

I stopped by the Morning Glory Café in Indian Harbour Beach, Florida, on Thursday morning and struck up a conversation with the breakfast-counter regulars. Their reactions tell you everything you need to know about where the American people stand.

Betty K., retired schoolteacher: “Tulsi’s actually standing up to the swamp — for once. Americans deserve real justice, not cover-ups.”

Bob H., small-business owner: “If Hillary, Obama, Brennan really did conspire, then yes — charge them. No one can be above the law.”

Cindy M., nurse: “This is gut-wrenching. ... Our intelligence agencies turned on us. Gabbard is the first one who seems to want justice.”

A woman eating beside her husband, who asked to remain unnamed: “People want hangings.”

She didn’t flinch — and neither did anyone else.

If this referral results in prosecutions, the consequences would be seismic: potential prison time, disgrace, and the end of political legacies. More importantly, it would send a chilling message to every bureaucrat and agency head: Abuse of state power and election interference will not be tolerated. It could begin to restore the fractured trust between the American people and their government — with one critical truth: No one, not even a president, is above the law.

If the Justice Department does nothing, then the opposite truth becomes undeniable: that intelligence agencies have become untouchable; that the deep state protects its own; that the law applies only to the powerless.

Our government would be confirmed as a hollow shell, run by unelected bureaucrats and political fixers. We wouldn’t just be losing faith in the republic. We’d be living in a managed illusion, where facts are fungible and truth belongs to whoever controls the narrative.

Justice, not theater

Americans are fed up. They don’t want another committee. They don’t want another special counsel. They don’t want another round of political theater. They want justice — and they’re not wrong.

The Constitution guarantees equal protection under the law. It does not say, “unless your name is Obama.” And yet, here we are, watching the slow-motion erosion of our legal system while those entrusted to defend it look the other way.

Tulsi Gabbard just threw down the gauntlet. Now, we get to see who in this government still has a spine. If the Department of Justice acts, it’s the beginning of a reckoning. If it doesn’t, the deep state will be confirmed — not as a “conspiracy theory,” but as a fact.

And the people? They’ll take that truth with them — to the ballot box, to the streets, and to every café counter in America.
