In one instance, a patient was prepped for organ extraction despite allegedly crying, thrashing, and pushing harvesters away.
The Trump administration is taking steps to ensure that Americans aren’t being cannibalized for their organs while still alive and kicking.
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. decertified Network for Hope, or NFH, a federally designated “organ procurement organization,” on Wednesday following a damning independent investigation exposing allegedly “disturbing practices” associated with the organization.
‘Why did they want my organs?’
According to the decertification notice issued by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, “No Medicare and Medicaid payments will be made with respect to organ procurement costs attributable to Network for Hope on or after November 3, 2026.”
“Americans who choose to become organ donors deserve a system that honors their gift and protects every patient,” said Kennedy. “Today’s action reflects the Trump administration’s commitment to protecting the sanctity of life. Organizations that repeatedly fail to meet federal standards and put patients at risk will be held accountable.”
Crying on the carving station
Anthony “TJ” Hoover II was admitted to Baptist Health Richmond’s emergency room on Oct. 25, 2021, suffering an overdose. Things looked bleak but were about to get much worse.
“We were told TJ had no reflexes, no responses, no brainwaves, no brain activity,” Hoover’s sister, Donna Rhorer, told WDKY-TV. “And we were told that on the 26, 27, 28, 29. … We made the decision as a family to remove him from life support because, you know, he was brain dead.”
When the process to harvest Hoover’s organs was initiated, his family members and multiple medical professionals claimed they noticed signs that he was not only alive but alert.
“His eyes started to open, and not just open, he was checking around, looking to see what was going on,” said Rhorer. “And we were told that was just reflexes, just normal instinct, and he’s not there.”
Nyckoletta Martin, a surgical preservation coordinator who was working at the time with Kentucky Organ Donor Affiliates — which merged with LifeCenter Organ Donor Network in 2024 to become NFH — witnessed the moments leading up to the scheduled organ harvesting.
Martin testified to Congress late last year that Hoover regained consciousness during his cardiac catheterization, but upon waking, he “was paralyzed and sedated.” The family was never informed that Hoover had regained consciousness, alleged Martin.
The former KODA employee told WDKY that while Hoover was allegedly thrashing around, knocking the would-be harvesters’ hands out of the way, and crying, “They were trying to prep and drape him for surgery.”
“This was no ordinary movement,” Natasha Miller, an organ perfusionist with KODA at the time and witness to Hoover’s case, told CNN. “He was very aware.”
Fortunately, the doctors refused ultimately to go through with the organ procurement.
“TJ knows what happened. TJ says, ‘Why me? Why did they want my organs?’ And TJ feels guilt still about he did not die so that people could get his organs to save their lives,” said Martin. “That’s horrific to me. Nobody should ever be put in that position. That’s not what his mission is about.”
Regarding the Hoover incident, Baptist Health Richmond told NPR, “The safety of our patients is always our highest priority. We work closely with our patients and their families to ensure our patients’ wishes for organ donation are followed.”
NFH said in response to outrage over the incident:
It is very important to understand that an organ procurement organization (OPO) is not involved in patient care, and we do not declare death. OPOs only have the authority to proceed with organ recovery after a patient’s independent health care provider has declared death. At any time, if a patient’s condition improves or a death declaration does not take place, the family is informed that the donation cannot take place, and the OPO team does not proceed with organ recovery.
State and federal officials looked into the matter and found that Hoover’s seemingly horrific dealings with the Kentucky-based OPO were not exceptional.
Hundreds of horrors
Following an independent investigation into Hoover’s case and other potential issues with NFH, the Health Resources and Services Administration alleged in July 2025 “clear negligence after the previous [Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network] Board of Directors claimed to find no major concerns in their internal review.”
The HRSA examined 351 cases where organ donation was authorized but not ultimately completed. According to the HHS press release,
- 103 of the cases “showed concerning features, including 73 patients with neurological signs incompatible with organ donation”;
- at least 28 of the patients whose cases were reviewed “may not have been deceased at the time organ procurement was initiated”; and
- “evidence pointed to poor neurologic assessments, lack of coordination with medical teams, questionable consent practices, and misclassification of causes of death, particularly in overdose cases.”
“This is horrifying,” Kennedy stated at the time. “The organ procurement organizations that coordinate access to transplants will be held accountable.”
The HRSA subsequently launched an assessment of whether NFH had adequately corrected the issues identified by the agency. The CMS separately assessed whether the NFH continued to meet federal requirements, including the minimum requirements for Medicare certification.
The organization was found wanting.
“HRSA, through its oversight of the OPTN, worked closely with Network of Hope [sic] over the past year through intensive monitoring and corrective action to address serious patient safety concerns,” HRSA Administrator Tom Engels said on Wednesday. “Despite those efforts, the organization did not demonstrate the improvements necessary to meet federal standards.”
“When organizations entrusted with the care of potential organ donors fail to meet those standards, we have a responsibility to act,” added Engels.
Barry Massa, the CEO of NFH, said in a statement that the organization “strongly disagrees” with Kennedy’s decision and will launch an appeal.
“NFH is compliant with all OPTN policies and has implemented a first-of-its-kind ‘pause in procedure’ process,” continued Massa. “This pause process is now Kentucky law and NFH proudly worked hand-in-hand with legislators and regulators by providing input in the drafting both of the new law and its implementing regulations. Despite this, and despite NFH’s demonstrated dedication to improving organ and tissue donation outcomes across its service area, Secretary Kennedy has acted to decertify our OPO that serves seven million people across four states.”
Massa further suggested that the decertification will negatively impact over 3,000 people waiting for an organ transplant.
Network for Hope, Baptist Health, and the HHS did not respond to Blaze News’ requests for comment.
Where jews have been so inbred they suffer varios health problems
the IDF would be told we have a man in tel aviv hospital 6 foot tall go find him replacement organs

“rfk” doing its bit to “promote” “democracy” (and itself). Ask the Amish what they think of its “policies”.

> Perhaps Henry people are not buying buying this book because of your constant misinformation such as: “Hitler was a Rothschild agent”. Plus your insistence on the obvious six million gassing hoax.
Makow is, of course, just another jew pushing jew down your throat, but you’re also wrong.
He says: Germany was a country that wanted shot of the jews and rotchild inserted hitler to derail that.
You say: Hitler was a hero who simply failed to achieve his goal.
I ask you both this: Why didn’t hitler just throw the jews out of germany? Why go along with a “world” war?
The answer is obvious: Because war was the point. He and the “other” side both wanted war.
In other words, there were no “agents” because, just like today all of the “leaders” and “parties” are all on the same side. It isn’t every single “politician”, because they have to leave some semblance of “democracy”, but the ones who can and do run the show are all on the same side, and that side is whatever you want to call it. Mathis calls them the phoenicians. Others call them the one world government. Or the jews. It doesn’t matter what you call them. All that matters is killing them. And they include all the people who claim ownership of everything (“farmers” for example).
Today, both jones and makow are pushing some crap saying everyone without “money” is a “pillager” and everyone with “money” is a “producer”. I can’t imagine more hard on fascist than that. To use farmers as an example, they’re saying that the “useless eaters” aren’t “producers” but “pillagers”, when the “farmers” “own” all the land and thereby prevent the “useless eaters” producing food for themselves. But it’s much worse than that. Because it presupposes that the “useless eaters” want in on your fascist system to begin with. I want all those that claim to own anything dead. That’s my “position”. I won’t “negotiate”. I don’t want to “talk it over”. I don’t care what you think or want. If you claim to own the land, food, water, shelter, then I want you dead.

I have no idea if this person is real or fake. Most people are fake nowadays, but if we take it as real, then she is the only type of black that should be allowed into any white country. One that fits in. Not some nigger who rapes, murders, steals, supports drug gangs, inserts themselves positions they can’t handle (eg. as a doctor), or tries to turn britain into their own country. That said, millions of her would not be welcome. Millions of anything would not be welcome. She mentions lenny the turd henry and says he’s a “stooge”. Lenny henry is tribe, plain and simple. Born into money, inserted as a “man of the people” because he wanted to be a “comedian”, then paid vast amounts of money for being unfunny. Now he’s pushing tribe by trying to have the poorest people in britain pay the niggers. No one in britain did anything to any nigger and no nigger has had anything done to them. If they’re so “oppressed”, why don’t they build up their own country? If they’re so “great”, why doesn’t the turd henry go and live with them? Instead, he lives in a million pound house surrounded by his white cousins from the tribe.
When Tony Blair came to power
such was the disillusionment with the Tories
that he would have got in anyway
but he was helped with much lies and corruption,
The Postmens union the CWU
has always been very left wing
They were resisting efforts to sack 30.000 men
and bring in machine sorting.
Peter Mandleson as director of public communications
went to see union rep Allan Johnston.
who then allowed 30,00 men to be sacked often under very dubious reasons
and in came machine sorting, the machines can be programmed
and the names and addresses of Tory voters was put in.
The machines threw out boxes of Tory voters, these were taken by mail van
and hidden at the back of a small sorting office in Dorset.
and Allan Johnston suddenly became a highly paid government minister.
Rothschild through David Abrahams Tonies lover Lord Levy
and ” mt Fixit” Peter Mandelson, were cutouts between Rothschild and Tony Blair
who only had 2 political remits.
One a war on the people of iraq and two to grow the homosexual community by
at least 5% per year
Dr David Kelly was the worlds leading experts on WMDs he said definitely no WMDs in iraq
for this Toerag-Tony had him killed and Robin Cook similarly
The New Labour, which in numerology is 666, sponsored from the public purse Gay parades homosexual marches, LBGT filth in schools, TV subliminals, and the printing of 6 extremist homosexual magazines, with naked centre folds not of men, but young boys
Peter Tatchell of ” Pedophile information exchange” was offered a safe labour seat
but public outrage stopped this.
Grevill Janner said homosexuality was legalised to ptotect pedophiles which it did
Experts said this legalisation would put kids across the country at risk
a survey by the UK column said abuse at 16 london care homes was on an ” industrial scale ”
thier investigation into the BBC pedophile ring suggested, this was behind the deaths of Jill Dando and Rik Mayall, who said on radio they would kill him for his exposure.
There are many kinds of crime but brainwashing kids to become homosexual as drag queens in schools are doing, is among the worst
RFK Jr seems like a decent chap but I am disappointed that he’s not held Pfizer et al accountable for the death jabs.
Decertifies them? He should be accusing them of murder.
Americans who agree to become organ donors deserve to be harvested whenever they are found to be a match for a billionaire, millionaire, politician, or influential member of the clan of Red Sea Pedestrians.
How blinking stupid and naive are these people? Just put them into a coma, and get them on life support the day they sign up! Why complicate things?
What was scripted in the ‘Monty Python and the Holy Grail’ movie: “I’m not quite dead yet!”
@Hauntress
There was a nifty movie made about this, back in the Seventies.
“Coma” was its title.
Screenplay by Michael Crichton.
Worth reading about, if not seeking out to view!
