Does China kill the persecuted Falun Gong and sell their organs? A disturbingly credible report issued by human rights lawyer David Matas and Canadian MP, David Kilgour paint a horrific picture that indeed, China kills Falun Gong and sells their organs. Chinese authorities didn’t cooperate with the authors and so they had no direct access to imprisoned Falun Gong or to organ procurement centers in China. But the authors have connnected many dots and using deductive reasoning and logic, made a compelling case. And as I write in today’s NRO, while their evidence would not result in a conviction beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law, it would be more than sufficient to justify a search warrant.
If this doesn’t arouse the media and the international community—and so far it hasn’t—I have a suggestion: Pretend the accusations are about ongoing wrongdoing at Guantanamo. That will get the juices flowing.
Dear Reader,
Can I be direct with you?
War abroad. Socialists on the rise. AI upending human life. Endless uproar online. The modern attention economy doesn’t want readers — it wants users enslaved to the tyranny of the present.
First Things is the antidote: literary excellence, timeless truths, and a fixed point of reference in a culture that has lost its bearings.
But we can’t do it without readers like you.
Our goal: Raise $150,000 by November 1 to sustain First Things in the year ahead.
Your gift anchors readers in the permanent things.
