A chilling system of state-sponsored horror operates within China, revealed in meticulous detail by researcher Jan Jekielek in his book, “Killed to Order.” It’s a story of political prisoners, systematic incarceration, and a macabre industry built on the harvesting of human organs.
The Chinese Communist Party didn’t simply imprison those who dared oppose its rule; they created a database, a horrifying inventory of potential organ donors taken directly from within the prison walls. This wasn’t a chaotic black market operation, but a coldly calculated system of supply and demand, where life and death were reduced to a transaction.
Imagine a world where a failing organ isn’t met with a desperate search for a match, but with a scheduled execution. Jekielek’s research uncovered advertisements – now largely hidden – promising a new heart within weeks for a payment of around $200,000. The “donor” wasn’t waiting; they were marked for death.
This goes far beyond typical illegal organ trafficking. This is the state itself orchestrating the killing of individuals to fuel a lucrative and monstrous industry. It’s a deliberate policy, a chilling example of what one researcher termed “extractive repression” – eliminating dissent while simultaneously generating profit.
Initially targeting prisoners of conscience, the CCP later expanded its reach, adding the Uyghur population to the system. Dehumanization paved the way for the mass incarceration and subsequent exploitation of an entire group of people, turning a vulnerable population into a source of organs.
The motivation is brutally clear: to silence opposition and eliminate populations deemed undesirable, all while enriching the regime. It’s a dual purpose, a horrifying synergy of political control and economic gain.
The scale of this operation is staggering. Estimates suggest a nine-billion-dollar industry, built on the systematic violation of human rights and the calculated taking of human life. The silence surrounding this practice is perhaps the most disturbing aspect of all.
This isn’t just about organ transplantation; it’s about the deliberate destruction of human beings, a chilling testament to the depths of inhumanity and the terrifying power of a totalitarian state.
