Jan Jekielek EXPOSES China's Forced Organ Harvesting Industry | 07-27-26
Sam Bushman sits down with Jan Jekielek, senior editor at The Epoch Times, live from FreedomFest to discuss his book "Killed to Order" and the disturbing reality of forced organ harvesting in Communist China. Jekielek breaks down how the CCP created "black classes" to dehumanize and persecute groups like Falun Gong practitioners and Uyghurs, turning mass incarceration into a billion-dollar organ trafficking industry. They also cover the rising persecution of Christians in China, a bipartisan Senate bill aimed at sanctioning those responsible, and practical ways everyday people, at the grassroots and federal level alike, can fight back against tyranny.
