Organ Harvesting in Ukraine Goes UnreportedTony Cartalucci Refugees streaming away from encircled and bombarded populated centers tell tales of mass murder, indiscriminate targeting of civilians, and even grisly accounts of forced organ harvesting taking place from the bodies of those killed by Kievs combined arms offensive, or from those kidnapped by criminal gangs operating in the vacuum of impunity afforded by the Wests silence. Unlike in Libya, Syria, and now Iraq where the Western media eagerly reported activist accounts as unquestionable truth, and even participated in flagrant fabrications to justify further military intervention, particularly in Libya and Syria, networks like the BBC dismiss Ukrainian refugee accounts as hearsay not warranting any further investigation. In the BBCs article, The Ukrainian refugees escaping to Russia, it states: Forced Organ Harvesting Real Horror Deliberately Dismissed by the BBC Russian sources tell a different story, explaining the details of the ongoing horror the BBC mentions in passing but failed to either qualify or dispel with anything resembling evidence. In Pravdas article, In Ukraine, human organs dont stink, it is reported that: Employees of international airports, for example, in Boryspil, said that there were many small aircraft chartered to transport special refrigerators that are used for transporting human organs. These would be the same social networks frequently cited by the Western media to substantiate claims made against the targeted governments of Libya and Syria. Now that Western interests are backing a regime trying to consolidate its power against armed fighters, such stories are wild and unworthy of further investigation. Pravda notes that the impoverished state of Ukraines military unable to provide even matching uniforms or food makes the increased medical presence around Kievs forces very unlikely the result of interest in preserving the well-being of both its own fighters as well as those caught in their path. Instead, considering the immense corruption and lawlessness that existed even before the so-called Euromaidan and the rise of an ultra-right client regime operating in utter disarray, it is more likely organ harvesting for profit is taking place. Eastern Europe has been one of several global epicenters for forced organ harvesting for years. A November 2011 Bloomberg article titled, Organ Gangs Force Poor to Sell Kidneys for Desperate Israelis, reported that: In fact, amid the chaos of Ukraines armed conflict, it would be unthinkable that these same criminal gangs would not be scouring the battlefields and hospitals for potential victims. The BBCs failure to investigate the very plausible claims of desperate refugees suggests both utter journalistic incompetence and even complicity in covering up atrocities being committed as part of Kievs brutal, unwarranted, and deadly bid to consolidate power. The state of forced organ harvesting as described by Bloomberg in 2011 implicated criminal gangs in Ukraine specifically, as have other reports. Ukrainian hospitals and doctors have been long-implicated as well. How then does the BBC call accounts of organ harvesting wild claims when nothing has been done to stop such practices since 2011, and especially with conditions in Ukraine today setting the stage for such criminality to flourish unchecked? History Repeating Itself Just as the ultra-right taking power in Kiev signifies the resurgence of Nazism in Europe, fully backed by the European Union and NATO, the covering up of forced organ harvesting and other horrors is torn straight from the playbook of Adolf Hitlers Nazis, including the likes of the notorious Josef Mengele. History is repeating itself, specifically because of the ignorance of Western audiences and the complicity of journalists charged with reporting the truth who instead, bury it under propaganda. Since organ harvesting is undoubtedly taking place in Ukraine today since it was taking place on record before the conflict even began the BBCs dismissal of this tale of horror may mean Polish snipers supported by NATO may also be carrying out atrocities, and the regime of Petro Poroshenko may very well be carrying out campaigns of racially motivated genocide.
