I appreciate your continued interest in dialogue. I think there has been enough written here to address your questions and concerns. That being said, you know I’m gonna say more!

The point is that if Hillary Clinton CONTRADICTED Obama’s policy/position, she would be accused of undermining him. And, she would not be doing her job. She CANNOT make diametrically opposed statements to the POTUS’ position. Given the “laurels” on which Clinton has to rest, I would think she is mighty frustrated by Obama’s stance (or lack thereof).

And, as others have said, given our OWN human rights issues, we can’t exactly bludgeon China on them. Also, because, as I said, they are second only to Japan in owning us. So, there is a major power differential there…As Hillary said during the Primaries, when was the last time YOU went and yelled at your banker? Not gonna happen, especially not when we need more money from them (especially with the “stimulus package,” the $410 Bn Omnibus bill, and the budget Obama just put out…

Horrific New Evidence of China Organ Harvesting Revealed

By Jan Jekielek

Epoch Times Staff on assignment in Warsaw

Nov 16, 2006

A Chinese military surgeon had eight Chinese citizens killed to supply a single foreign patient with a new kidney, said former Canadian Secretary of State for Asia-Pacific David Kilgour on November 14. Kilgour spoke as a special guest at the Asian Human Rights Week forum in Warsaw, on day two of a five day program.

“The incredible thing is that the doctor would…go down the names on sheets of paper looking for blood types and tissue types and so on, and he [the patient] would point at names on the list. The doctor would then go away and come back with organs,” said Kilgour.

While conducting research in Asia, Kilgour interviewed a now 35 year-old man (name and nationality withheld) who received a kidney transplant at Shanghai No. 1 People’s Hospital in 2003. The man said that his surgeon was Dr Tan Jianming, Secretary General of the Chinese Research Society of Dialysis and Transplantation. Dr Tan also holds top posts in a number of Chinese military and civilian hospitals.

The patient suffered from an antibody condition that made it difficult to find a suitable kidney. Over an eight day period, four separate kidneys were brought to him and tested, said Kilgour. When none of those worked, three months later he tried another four – the last of which was a fit. The man was later transferred to No. 85 Hospital of the People’s Liberation Army to convalesce.

Dr Tan told the man explicitly that these organs came from executed Chinese prisoners, and that at least some of the organs had been harvested secretly, against the donors’ will.

“I am certain that at least some of these were Falun Gong practitioners who never went near a court, who were never convicted of anything,” said Kilgour.

Earlier in 2006, Kilgour co-wrote a report detailing evidence of China’s large scale state-supported killing of Falun Gong prisoners of conscience – in order to extract their organs to sell for huge profits to people such as this man. Kilgour and co-author human rights lawyer David Matas estimated that over 41,000 organ transplants performed in China could not be accounted for, based on published records.

Kilgour believes, based on many lines of evidence, that apart from death row prisoners, Falun Gong practitioners are particularly targeted for live organ harvesting, as opposed to other groups that the Chinese Communist regime labels as “dissidents” or “enemies of state.”

Falun Gong is the peaceful spiritual practice that saw its popularity grow at an astonishing rate in the 1990′s. In 1999, then-Chinese dictator Jiang Zemin outlawed the practice in China and ordered its eradication. Multiple human rights organizations have documented the communist regime’s brutal, large scale persecution of Falun Gong practitioners since that time.

Since the publication of their report last July, Kilgour and Matas have traveled to over 20 countries searching for support, as well as for new evidence that might either prove or disprove the organ harvesting allegations. Over that time, in addition to the 18 lines of evidence examined in the initial report, Kilgour says they found another ten areas of evidence pointing to the same conclusion. He intends to publish an updated report by the end of the year, and says that it will contain more evidence of the Chinese military’s involvement.

“We were hoping that it [the organ harvesting] would have stopped by now, but we are convinced that it is still happening,” said Kilgour.

………

This is still happening….according to Amnesty International and other Human Rights groups. Hillary knows this. She is no more than a spokesperson for Obama…otherwise known as an Obamatron puppet. She should have and could have stayed in the Senate and prepared to run in the next election, and made a real difference. It’s all over for her.

“The United States will continue to press China on issues such as Tibet, Taiwan and human rights, she told reporters accompanying her.

“Successive administrations and Chinese governments have been poised back and forth on these issues, and we have to continue to press them. But our pressing on those issues can’t interfere with the global economic crisis, the global climate change crisis, and the security crisis,” she told reporters in Seoul, South Korea.”

One would think that someone who is a focused on human rights would realize that in today’s economic situation they are more important than ever. Resting on your laurels doesn’t cut it! I don’t want to pick a fight and my response is not intended to do so. You are entitled to your own opinion but I have a difficult time reconciling the two diametrically opposed positions.

Clinton, as you may recall, had one of the Top 100 speeches in the 20th century, and that speech was in CHINA on HUMAN RIGHTS.

Stupid Obots.

It’s capricious to talk about human rights in China at this time when they own so much of our debt and America is hanging on by a thread.

We can idealize all we want to but those are the FACTS!

It’s a sad time all around the world.

While President Obama speaks of helping the people of Israel “search for credible partners with whom they can make peace,” Mr. Freeman believes, as he said in a 2007 address to the Washington Institute of Foreign Affairs, that “Israel no longer even pretends to seek peace with the Palestinians; it strives instead to pacify them.” The primary reason America confronts a terrorism problem today, he continued, is “the brutal oppression of the Palestinians by an Israeli occupation that is about to mark its fortieth anniversary and shows no sign of ending.”

Nice and refreshing isn’t it?

Rev. Amy, great read. That episode in SF regarding the accidental discovery papers, is a shameful piece of “now you see it, now you don’t”.

Rove isn’t showing up to testify because BO told him he didn’t half too.

On February 23, Karl Rove was supposed to testify before the House Judiciary Committee in accordance with a Congressional subpoena. But Rove didn’t show up. Again.

.
Where is Holder on this one? Can’t a Democratic Governor who was politically and criminally burned at the stake catch a brake?

As for SOS Clinton? Just another day working at BO’s Foggy Bottom. Although I am surprised at the speed of which the dogs were let out.
In a NY Minute everything can change.

i for one understand why she did what she did. if others don’t, to hell with them.
