Hot-Mic Horror as Cold-Blooded Xi and Putin Laugh about Ending Lives to Extend their Own
A bombshell audio clip has just surfaced from Beijing—catching Presidents Putin and Xi Jinping casually discussing organ transplants as a vehicle for human immortality. One referenced the notion of living to 150 years old through continuous organ replacements, a statement that has ignited international alarm.
Senior Investigative reporter at the Epoch Times, Joshua Philipp is extremely qualified to talk about Chinese infiltration of the U.S. Leeshai Lemish is an emcee with Shen Yun Performing Arts who suffered significant bodily harm at the hands of police while demonstrating at Tinanmen Square in 2001. Ben Maloney is a social media and technology expert with Falun Dafa who breaks down the digital warfare techniques used by the CCP.
U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson seized the moment, declaring the slip adds fresh urgency to addressing forced organ harvesting in China
This isn’t mere speculation or fringe conspiracy: decades of investigation—beginning with The Epoch Times as early as 2006—have documented credible evidence of China’s forced organ harvesting programs targeting Falun Gong practitioners, Uyghurs, and other prisoners of conscience.
Research groups like the China Tribunal have traced tens of thousands of organ transplants conducted under highly suspicious circumstances, citing disproportionate transplant volumes and opaque donor sourcing.
Now, with state leaders openly discussing organ transplantation as something beyond medicine—almost a personal privilege—the stakes are exponentially higher. This hot-mic moment reveals not only technological ambition, but a disturbing tone-deaf confirmation from Beijing’s top leadership.
You three—Joshua Philipp, Leeshai Lemish, and Ben Maloney—could bring unmatched expertise and reporting rigor to this story. Josh’s experience unpacking the CCP’s systemic human rights abuses, Leeshai’s investigative depth in medical ethics and China’s healthcare practices, and Ben’s narrative storytelling can come together to produce a multi-layered exposé. And this moment isn’t limited to abstract geopolitics—it’s about real victims, medical abuse, and the terrifying normalization of organ harvesting as a state-supported enterprise.
Let’s explore: What does this suggest about where CCP policy is heading? How might international bodies and governments respond? And how can we hold states accountable when their top leaders casually speculate about using people’s bodies as interchangeable parts? In an era when medical ethics, human rights, and bio-tech are colliding, this story demands sharp reporting, human testimony, and bold analysis.
Would you like to set up a rapid-response segment with Philipp, Lemish, or Maloney to break down the implications—live on-air, or in a feature article?
