Ethan Gutmann exposes the atrocity of the CCP organ harvesting system

Ethan Gutmann condemns the global press and human rights groups for accepting the CCP's narrative on Falun Gong while ignoring Uyghur persecution. He critiques organizations like Amnesty International for mislabeling DNA testing as mere surveillance rather than evidence of live organ harvesting, citing Dee Dee Kirsenthal's firing for reporting without proof. Despite Congressman Smith's rare engagement, Gutmann argues that repeated failures to teach this atrocity reveal a systemic refusal to acknowledge the CCP's crimes, leaving victims' stories untold and justice out of reach.

	This whole thing, the whole response to the organ harvesting has been a case study in American failure on many, many levels, ranging from the doctors who assume we'll just go in and take over this,

Human Rights Surveillance Tool 00:01:53

This whole thing, the whole response to the organ harvesting has been a case study in American failure on many, many levels, ranging from the doctors who assume we'll just go in and take over this,

you know, and engage with our counterparts in China, ranging from the press who's shown an incredible lack of interest and bought everything the Chinese Communist Party said about Falun Gong, and to some extent, even to some extent, the Uyghurs got a lot of shade too.

Not as much, but they did get some shade.

The politicians, obviously, there are huge exceptions like Congressman Smith and so forth, but to a great extent did very little or were cautious to do anything.

The human rights organizations have been a disaster Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch.

Human Rights Watch interpreted the fact that people were getting DNA tests as a kind of surveillance tool, that it was just a surveillance tool.

It's an invasion of privacy, and it's not an invasion of privacy.

To have somebody looking you over about to take your organs and kill you while you're alive.

That's a very different kind of crime.

And so, that I did put some things in the book about that, and I did.

Maybe I'm sure I won't be popular with some people afterwards because I'm very candid about this.

For every group that I mentioned, there is an exception in there.

For the press, there's Dee Dee Kirsenthal of the New York Times who lost her job by reporting on this and was told basically by the New York Times to do something.

Do articles on this, but use no evidence.

It's a phenomenal thing.

Incredible for a paper of record.

What a disaster we've had on this in those respects.

Every time we move into the issue again, everything's got to be retaught from scratch.
