Taking people's kidneys can be done honestly, by financial extortion, fraud or by murder. All methods are used. The perpetrators are often Jews. There are cases which have been reported briefly then concealed by the media but then Jewish Influence In The Media is strong to overwhelming. A related issue is what the Jews call the Blood Libel, murdering children for their blood at Passover. They get very irritated when people talk about it. Then they start bullying, lying, threatening. We are left to wonder whether Adolf was on the right lines. Some sources are at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Organ_trafficking

Israeli suspected of running Ukraine organ trafficking ring
QUOTE
An Israeli man was arrested Friday for allegedly running an organ trafficking network in the Ukraine, Army Radio reported. The Israeli, whose name was not revealed, was arrested by Ukrainian police along with 12 other people. According to the report, the network operated for over three years and recruited donors via the internet. Most of the donors were young women who agreed to sell a kidney for $10,000. The organs were then allegedly transferred to Israelis in need of a kidney transplant, which cost over $200,000, said the head of the Ukrainian organization for combating human trafficking during a press conference following the arrests. Ukrainian police estimated that the network made a gross sum of $40 million. The facility in which the alleged operations for extracting the kidneys took place denied the allegations.

Nonwhite invaders who cannot pay smugglers the full fare for their trip across the Mediterranean Sea are sold to murderers to be cut up and used for body part organ sales, an Italian court has heard.Eritrean Nuredein Wehabrebi Atta made the admission before he was sentenced to five years in prison by a Palermo court for his role in a people smuggling enterprise.
According to the Repubblica newspaper’s Palermo edition, Atta told the Italian police that invaders who could not pay the full fare were seized and “sold for €15,000 [each] to groups, particularly Egyptians, who are equipped for harvesting organs.”..........
The police also identified that the financial nerve center of the operation is in Rome, where “huge flows of money take place, using the so-called “Hawala method” of transacting.

Jewish Rabbis Arrested Human Organ Trafficking - Sweden Accused Israel of Organ Harvesting - Who Are the Jews?
'Organ trafficking': Rabbis arrested over massive crime ring
US agents have arrested 44 elected officials and Jewish rabbis in New Jersey in a huge anti-corruption sweep across the state.
Charges of extortion, bribery, money laundering and human organ trafficking were stunning even for a state long notorious for official corruption and organized crime.
Five rabbis were among suspects, along with the mayors of Hoboken, Secaucus and Ridgefield, the Jersey City deputy mayor and council president, two state assembly members, and numerous other politicians, prosecutors said. The money laundering ring allegedly stretched from New Jersey and New York to Israel and Switzerland, while politicians easily exploited loopholes in state law to disguise bribes as campaign contributions.
Although New Jersey is more famous for a history of Italian Mafia families, it was Jewish clergy who allegedly played a central role in the crime network.
Authorities raided several synagogues and among those arrested was the chief rabbi of Syrian Jews in the United States.
One rabbi, Levy Izhak Rosenbaum, was charged with conspiring to broker the sale of a human kidney for transplant.
Marra said Rosenbaum's "business was to entice vulnerable people to give up a kidney for $US10,000 ($A12,300), which he would turn around and sell for 160,000 dollars."

Butchers: The hidden
truth about Israel's kidney theft ring
Butchers: The hidden truth about Israel's kidney theft ring This is a major story. Although I've done no original "in the field" research, I've stitched together published material in a way that reveals the true authorship of this crime. You won't learn about the complicity of the Israeli government anywhere else
Where
do the kidneys come from?
I'm talking about the kidneys offered by an "organist" named Izzy Rosenbaum.
The FBI scooped him up in a
corruption probe that focused on pay-offs to New Jersey pols (nothing
surprising about that) and money laundering by prominent rabbis:
The probe also uncovered Levy Izhak Rosenbaum of Brooklyn, who is accused of conspiring to broker the sale of a human kidney for a transplant. According to the complaint, Rosenbaum said he had been brokering sale of kidneys for 10 years.
"His business was to entice vulnerable people to give up a kidney for $10,000 which he would turn around and sell for $160,000," said Marra.
Marra is a US attorney involved with the case. News accounts like the one quoted above have led the public to believe that the "donors" were both willing and compensated, and that this operation was purely private. But good evidence indicates that the matter is far, far more troubling.
The kidneys were "donated" at gunpoint by unwilling victims.
The Israeli government directed Rosenbaum's grisly scheme.
Major American hospitals wittingly participated in the plot.
Before we get to that evidence, let us confront two simple questions: Whose kidneys, exactly, were taken? And what kind of doctor would extract a kidney from a healthy patient?
"I am what you call a matchmaker," the complaint quotes Rosenbaum as telling the undercover agent.

two simple questions: Whose kidneys, exactly, were taken? And what kind of
doctor would extract a kidney from a healthy patient?
"I am what you
call a matchmaker," the complaint quotes Rosenbaum as telling the undercover
agent.
Had the transaction been real, federal authorities said, it would have been the
most recent chapter in Rosenbaum's 10-year career as an illicit middleman. In
each case, he would take a blood sample from a prospective recipient and give it
to an associate at an insurance company who could analyze it at a lab without
arousing suspicion. The sample would then be shipped to Israel, and the
necessary people paid off to find a match.
"He prayed on vulnerable people, " said assistant US district attorney Mark
McCarron.
Rosenbaum would
then arrange the donor's flight to New York, including obtaining a visa,
authorities said. Once the donor arrived in the US, Rosenbaum would help
fabricate a relationship between donor and recipient -- a story both would
repeat during interviews with medical professionals. The two might pretend to
business associates, for instance, or close friends from a religious
congregation.
"The hospitals seemed to be in the dark," McCarron said.
As we shall see,
we should take that last statement with a grain of salt roughly the size of
Lot's wife.
A close reading of the actual
indictment of Rosenbaum
(pdf) is troubling. Rosenbaum spilled his
guts (so to speak) to an undercover informant posing as a prospective organ
purchaser. During these interviews, an FBI agent posed as the purchaser's
secretary.
Let's look at some excerpts from the
indictment. "UC" refers to the informant, whose real name is
Solomon Dwek.
The UC asked defendant ROSENBAUM how defendant ROSENBAUM could obtain a kidney on behalf of UC’s uncle, and defendant ROSENBAUM explained that defendant ROSENBAUM could send a blood sample from the UC’s uncle to Israel to find a matching prospective donor. Defendant ROSENBAUM added that "if you want to arrange it faster, then I, I bring the donor over here... The hospital is the authority who decide it's a match or not. Not me, not you, not him, not nobody."
Defendant ROSENBAUM then explained that it would be necessary to fabricate some sort of relationship between the donor and the recipient. Defendant ROSENBAUM stated that "we put together something–-the relationship. The hospital is asking what's the relationship between" the donor and the recipient. Defendant ROSENBAUM continued, "So we put in a relationship, friends, or neighbor, or business relations, any relation."
Defendant
ROSENBAUM explained that he was not a surgeon and that once he had brought a
willing donor to this country, "it's beyond my control." He did add that "I take
care of [the donor] after, after the surgery also." When pressed on this last
point, defendant ROSENBAUM explained that "I place him somewhere," to look after
the donor. Defendant ROSENBAUM further stated: "You have to babysit him like a
baby because he may have a language problem, maybe not." Defendant ROSENBAUM
explained the process of finding a donor in Israel and stated that "[t]here are
people over there hurting . . . One of the reasons it's so expensive is because
you have to shmear (meaning pay various individuals for their assistance) all
the time."
11. Defendant ROSENBAUM indicated that among those who would need to be paid
were the donor and the doctors in Israel who would examine the donor, and
further added that there would be expenses incurred for preparing the Visa work
and paying the donor's expenses while in the United States.
The only evidence
that the donor would be willing came from Rosenbaum, who had the following
motives for lying:
1. He needed to ease the conscience of the
prospective recipient.
2. He needed to justify the large amount of cash
involved.
3. He needed to protect the hospitals and doctors
involved with his operation. Rosenbaum understood that he was engaged in a risky
business, and that even if he got caught, he would still need to provide
cover for any hospital or surgeon connected to this wretched business.
Do we have evidence of that the donors were
coerced? Yes. In fact, we have the testimony of an
"insider" witness:
Nancy Scheper-Hughes
of the University of California, Berkeley, was and is very clear as to
Rosenbaum's role in the ring.
"He is the main U.S. broker for an international trafficking network," she said.
Her sources include a man who started working with Rosenbaum imagining he was
helping people in desperate need. The man then began to see the donors, or to be
more accurate, sellers, who were flown in from impoverished countries such as
Moldova.
"He said it was awful. These people would be brought in and they didn't even
know what they were supposed to be doing and they would want to go home and they
would cry," Scheper-Hughes said.
The man called Rosenbaum "a thug" who would pull out a pistol he was apparently
licensed to carry and tell the sellers, "You're here. A deal is a deal. Now,
you'll give us a kidney or you'll never go home.'
(Moldava,
incidentally, is a small country bordering the Ukraine.)
Scheper-Hughes, who is writing a book on this
topic, went to the FBI in 2002. They dismissed her evidence. The State
Department issued a 2004 report which labeled organ trafficking an "urban
legend." By contrast, authorities in other countries acted on her leads and made
arrests.
Scheper-Hughes
had better luck in Brazil and in South Africa, where law enforcement
corroborated her findings and acted decisively.
But the ring kept operating elsewhere. Scheper-Hughes visited villages in
Moldova where, "20% of the men were siphoned off to be kidney sellers in this
same scheme."
We must now pause
to re-think Rosenbaum's statements to the FBI informant. How could any rational
person working for a hospital buy the story that the recipients -- American Jews
-- attended services with Brazilians and Africans?
You
can see a lecture by the heroic Nancy Scheper-Hughes
here.
The video also
gives her resume, which is extremely impressive. Her testimony to a House
subcommittee is
here.
NPR's Brian Lehrer
interviewed Scheper-Hughes
yesterday morning. An excerpt:
I had begun to
unravel a huge network -- a criminal network that really looks like, smells
like, kind of a mafia. The head office of the pyramid scheme originated in
Israel, with brokers placed in Turkey; in New York City; in Philadelphia; in
Durban; in Johannesburg; in Recife, Brazil; Moldova -- all over the place. And I
used my ethnographic investigative skills to just go country-hopping and try to
connect the dots.
Eventually, it brought me to Isaac Rosenbaum being the head broker for Ilan
Peri in Israel, who is the don, basically, of the operation, and who is a
slippery guy. The Israelis tried to nail him and arrest him. They tried to get
him on tax evasion and he escaped to Germany. I think he's back in Israel.
A cynic might posit that Mr. Peri has what
Mossad calls "a horse" pulling for him. (A "horse" is an Israeli slang term for
a big shot offering covert aid.) Although he has left a very scant public trail,
Mr. Peri and his operation are mentioned in
this 2004 story.
This fascinating article
from Agence-France
Presse offers blockbuster information. A retired Israeli army officer named
Geldaya Tauber Gady was arrested in
Brazil for his
participation in this international organ trafficking ring. (I suspect that the
information from Scheper-Hughes -- which was taken seriously in Brazil -- led to
Gady's arrest.)
He told the court that
the Israeli government financed the operation. Not only that:
Gady told the court that an Israeli government official, identified only as Ilan, put him in touch with an intermediary in Brazil...
Gady's courtroom
testimony puts the Rosenbaum case in an entirely new light.
The
American media's coverage has led the public to believe that Rosenbaum's kidney
trafficking was purely a matter of private enrichment. But a former Israeli
officer has said under oath that the Israeli government runs this ring, and that
the master of the ring -- "Ilan" is obviously Ilan Peri -- functions as an agent
of that government.
(Now I'm wondering: Was the Israeli government involved with the money
laundering conducted through New Jersey synagogues?)
Frankly, I suspect that Scheper-Hughes knows all about Gady's testimony and its
implications for the Rosenbaum case. She probably has chosen to keep mum about
it in order not to lose credibility with the American media.

QUOTE
D
Operation Bid Rig is an ongoing, long-term investigation into political corruption in New Jersey conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Internal Revenue Service, and the United States Attorney for the District of New Jersey since 2002. The investigation has resulted in the indictments of more than 60 public officials and politically connected individuals since its inception. In July 2009, sting operations resulted in the arrest of 44 people in New Jersey and New York, including 29 public servants and political operatives, and five orthodox rabbis from the Syrian Jewish community. A number of high-level New Jersey elected officials were arrested in the operation, including Jersey City Deputy Mayor Leona Beldini, Hoboken Mayor Peter Cammarano, Secaucus Mayor Dennis Elwell, Ridgefield Mayor Anthony R. Suarez, former Jersey City Housing Authority Commissioner and Chairwoman Lori Serrano, Jersey City Housing Authority Commissioner Edward Cheatam, Assemblyman L. Harvey Smith, Assemblyman Daniel M. Van Pelt, former Assemblyman and unsuccessful mayoral candidate Louis Manzo, and political operatives Joseph Cardwell and Jack Shaw.[1][2]
Background
Operation Bid Rig originated with investigations of public corruption
among New Jersey officials in
Monmouth and
Ocean counties. The first phase became public in 2002 when former
Ocean Township mayor Terrance D. Weldon pleaded guilty to extorting cash
from developers to influence the approval of building projects. The second
phase of the investigation resulted in the February 2005 arrests of 11
elected officials in Monmouth County, who were charged with taking bribes
from an undercover cooperating witness.[3]
The second phase of the investigation was conducted in 2003 and 2004. Robert "Duke" Steffer, a former developer in New Jersey and Florida, solicited public officials for projects for his company, Steffer Industries Inc., which was later found to be a shell created by investigators.[4]
The investigation snared more than 12 public officials including:
Paul Zambrano, Mayor of West Long Branch, NJ
John Merla, Mayor of Keyport, NJ
Paul Coughlin, Mayor of Hazlet, NJ
Richard Iadanza, Deputy Mayor of Neptune Township, NJ
John Hamilton, Jr., Councilman, Asbury Park, NJ
Joseph DeLisa, Councilman, West Long Branch, NJ
Robert Hyer, Councilman, Keyport, NJ
Raymond O'Grady, Councilman, Middletown, NJ and director of the Monmouth County, NJ motor pool
Patsy Townsend, Director of Construction and Code Enforcement, Neptune, NJ
Joseph McCurnin, Operations Manager for Monmouth County's Division of Transportation
Thomas Broderick, Assistant Monmouth County Roads Supervisor
Richard Vuola, commissioner, Marlboro Municipal Utilities Authority, Marlboro, NJ
Monmouth County Freeholder Harry Larrison Jr. died before his case came before the court.[5]
The third phase of the investigation—Operation Bid Rig III—began after an individual identified by news sources as real estate developer Solomon Dwek of Ocean Township was arrested on charges of committing $50 million in bank fraud in May 2006. Dwek, a well-known member of the Syrian Jewish community whose parents founded the Deal Yeshiva,[1] agreed to become a cooperating witness for the FBI, infiltrating a money-laundering network connecting Israel and Syrian Jewish communities in Brooklyn and Deal, New Jersey. This network has allegedly laundered tens of millions of dollars through charitable non-profit organizations controlled by rabbis in New York and New Jersey. Among the rabbis implicated are Saul J. Kassin of Congregation Shaare Zion in Brooklyn, Eliahu Ben Haim of Congregation Ohel Yaacob in Deal, and Edmond Nahum of the Deal Synagogue.[6]
According to criminal complaints, Dwek (identified as "CW" for "cooperating witness"), informed targets of the sting that he was bankrupt and trying to conceal his assets, claiming involvement in illegal businesses including the sale of counterfeit Gucci and Prada handbags, as well as insurance scams and bank frauds. The targets accepted checks made by Dwek made out to their charitable foundations and returned the money to him after deducting a fee. Much of the cash they provided him came from Israel, and some of that in turn came from a Swiss banker, prosecutors said. Prosecutors said that about $3 million had been laundered for Dwek since the beginning of the third phase of the operation in June 2007, much of the money coming from Israel.
The case shifted to focus on public corruption after one of the men accused of money laundering, Moshe Altman of Monsey, New York, a Hudson County developer, introduced Dwek to a politically connected building inspector in Jersey City, who then steered him to another city official, Maher Khalil. Khalil, who is accused of accepting $30,000 in bribes from Mr. Dwek, introduced Dwek to a web of public officials, mayoral and council candidates, and their confidants, whom he called "players"[1]
On July 23, 2009, Acting United States Attorney for the District of New Jersey Ralph J. Marra, Jr. announced the arrest of the following 44 people:[7]

Levy Izhak Rosenbaum of Brooklyn was alleged to have been conspiring to arrange the sale of an Israeli citizen's kidney for $160,000.[1] According to the complaint, Rosenbaum told the cooperating witness that he had been involved in the illegal sale of kidneys for 10 years. Acting US Attorney Ralph Marra said "His business was to entice vulnerable people to give up a kidney for $10,000 which he would turn around and sell for $160,000". Anthropologist and organ trade expert Nancy Scheper-Hughes claimed that she had informed the FBI that Rosenbaum was "a major figure" in international organ smuggling 7 years ago, and that many of Rosenbaum's donors had come from Eastern Europe. She also heard reports that Rosenbaum held donors at gunpoint to ensure they donated their organs.[8] This is the first organ trafficking case in U.S. history, though no plea has been entered and no trail date has been set since his arrest in 2009.
One of the 44 defendants, political operative Jack Shaw, was found dead in his Jersey City apartment on July 28, 2009. His death was suspected to be a suicide.[9]
Some officials have been sentenced and are serving time in prison. Two were found not guilty. Many have their sentences pending after a federal appeals court judge threw out sentences of extortion based on the federal Hobbs Act.[10] Prosecutors may appeal that decision, and a federal judge has allowed them to hold off on proceeding with the trials until the issue is settled.[11] Other defendants are currently on trial or awaiting trial.
Union City real estate developer Moshe "Michael" Altman was sentenced to 41 months in prison for money laundering through the charity Gmach Shefa Chaim. [12]. He pleaded guilty to 15 separate instances of money laundering in which he pocketed more than $100,000. Itzhak Friedlander, another Hudson County developer involved with the charity, was sentenced to two years in prison for his role in the money laundering sting. [13] Shimon Haber, a Brooklyn developer, pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges related to the money laundering [14] and was sentenced to 10 months detention, five in prison and five at home.[15]
Former Hoboken Mayor Peter Cammarano III stepped down as mayor and was found guilty on August 05, 2010 and given two years in prison. [16] He entered prison in October 2010.
Catrillo entered a guilty plea and was fired by the City of Jersey City. He was sentenced to 18 months in prison, and fined $4000.[17] He entered federal prison in March, 2010.
Kenny was sentenced to one year and one day in prison, two years of supervised release and $4,000 fine. [18] He is set to be released May 4, 2011.
Schaffer stepped down from the North Hudson Sewerage Authority commissioner and plead guilty to criminal information and extortion charges. He was sentenced in January 2011 to 18 months in prison.[19]
Van Pelt was sentenced with 41 months in prison. He had resigned from the legislature and was fired from his job as Lumberton Township Administrator on July 25.[20] He entered prison in January 2010.
Vega held onto his seat on the Council until pleading guilty to the extortion conspiracy charge in September 2010. The other charges were dismissed. On April 11, 2011 he was sentenced to 30 months in prison. [21]
After refusing to step down, Suarez narrowly survived an August 2010 recall election [22] and was found not guilty on October 28, 2010. [23]
Smith was found not guilty on December 16, 2010. [24] He had refused to resign despite intense pressure from his own party and did not stand for re-election in 2009.
Elwell resigned as Mayor of Secaucus on July 28 and pleaded not guilty to the charges. His trial is expected to begin in Spring 2011.[25]
On January 12, 2010 Jersey City Housing Inspector John Guarini was indicted on one count of conspiracy to obstruct commerce by extortion under color of official right, four counts of attempted obstruction of commerce by extortion, and four counts of bribery.[26] He has pleaded not guilty.
Beldini stepped down as Deputy mayor and was given three years in prison but is free on bail pending appeal.[27]
Louis and Ronald Manzo and Serrano, were acquitted of charges that they had violated the federal Hobbs Act. In May, 2010 an appeals court ruled that they were not covered by the act because they were not public officials. Prosecutors may appeal the ruling.[28] All three still face charges of bribery and mail fraud from the sting.
Jaslow and King both pleaded guilty in 2009 [29][30] but sentencing has been on hold during the appeal.
Michael Manzo (no relation) pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit extortion under color of official right and admitted accepting bribes of $5,000 from Dwek.[31] As part of his plea agreement, Manzo agreed to return the money and to cooperate with the government in related prosecutions.[31] He has not been sentenced.
Webb-Washington was sentenced to one year and one day in prison for conspiracy to commit extortion under the color of official right for accepting $15,000 in bribes from informant Dwek.[32] She is free on bail awaiting the prosecutors' decision.
Cheatam pleaded guilty and was a prosecution witness in the trial against Smith. He has not yet been sentenced. [33]
In October 2010, Dwek pleaded guilty in federal court in Newark to one count each of money laundering and bank fraud charges amounting to about $50 million dollars. Standing before U.S. District Judge Jose L. Linares, Dwek answered questions on attempting to defraud PNC Bank. [34][35] He has not been sentenced.
Khalil pleaded guilty and was fired by the City of Jersey City immediately following their guilty pleas.He has been permanently barred from public sector employment [36] but no sentencing has been announced.
On December 3, Ocean County Democratic Party executive director Alfonso L. Santoro, who had not been previously charged, pleaded guilty in a federal court to accepting cash payments from Dwek in exchange for promising to introduce him to public officials, including then-Assemblyman Van Pelt.[37]
Tabbachino was found guilty of bribery extortion in 2010 and is awaiting sentencing. He has not yet pleaded on separate charges of money laundering. [38]
As part of the FBI sweep, the home and office of New Jersey Commissioner of the Department of Community Affairs Joseph Doria were raided but he was not charged. His resignation was announced by Governor Jon Corzine.[39]
