Caballeros Templarios: Human organ trafficking, and using organs in rituals?

Chivis Martínez for Borderland Beat


Mexican authorities investigating the cartel "Templars" for organ trafficking and initiation rites in which its members forced to eat human hearts, said the Michoacán security commissioner Alfredo Castillo.
A report broke yesterday about Caballeros Templarios and organ trafficking.  I was awaiting information to complete this report, which you will find below.

Michoacán Secretary of State, Carlos Hugo Castellanos Becerra, announced the arrest of Manuela Plancarte, 34,(at left)  in possession of a stolen vehicle.  However, that isn't the big story, aside from being related to Enrique Plancarte Solís, aka Kike, leader of Caballeros Templarios, he is being investigated for organ trafficking.

Michoacán State indicates that Manuel Plancarte is being investigated for the death of minors who then harvested their organs and sold them.  Arrested with  Plancarte was  Ricardo Morales also accused of being linked to a network of traffic organs from children who were kidnapped and taken to safe houses

The commissioner added that fallen leader El Chayo is suspected of forcing Templarios to consume organs as a test of courage or if there had been a betrayal.
Dr Mireles has been quoted in the media frenzy of yesterday about an incident where children were discovered in a truck in Michoacán destined for organ trafficking, some reports stated the children were dead and in ice coolers. 

Having personal knowledge that organs must have blood flow and oxygen upon harvesting, or they are not usable, I had some questions, I received the answers today form Dr Mireles.
Alfredo Castillo
Information from a checkpoint guard, a refrigerated van was stopped in Tepalcatepec in December 2012, at 2 am.  (I was given the guards name, but will not use it. He was in charge of the case and wrote the report)
 
The van drivers said they were going to the island. (Lazaro Cardenas Port) and that they were lost, they asked for directions.  They acted suspiciously.
When the van was inspected, friends of Dr Mireles (guards)  found 7 children wearing Mexico City school uniforms, and wrapped in blankets..  When the children were questioned, they related that their parents had authorized for them to be taken on a beach trip.  The parents were contacted and instructed to come and take the children home.
The drivers, a man and a woman, were questioned further. They admitted  that they were going to take children for the business of the trafficking  of organs.
Rumors have surrounded the Templarios cartel for about as long as they have been in existence, in 2011 after the first “death” of Nazario Moreno aka “El Chayo”.
Organ hawking is clearly an alluring market,   On the black market a kidney fetches 150k USD or  higher.  In the United States there are 95k patients on the waiting list for a kidney, half will die without receiving one.
In many Asian countries, selling a kidney is legal.  This opened the door for organized crime to diversify into a new market.  People began being kidnapped, initially for a kidney.  Mostly peasants or by using employment scams to draw impoverished people from within the country or drawing from outside the country.  Victims would often be paid 2-4K for a kidney. 
Later the market demands for other organs became irresistible for organized crime, who structured a system of scouts, and brokers to accommodate the market.  In China, a person will be kidnapped by the scouts and delivered to a medical facility staffed with doctors who don’t ask questions and do not care what is transpiring.  They harvest the organs. 
Organ trafficking is a billion dollar business in China. 
There was a recent heart wrenching case in which a 6 year old boy was kidnapped and was found abandon in a field, crying and bloody.  His eyes had been removed, presumably for the corneas. 

Professor Arthur L Caplan, head of medical ethics at Langone New York University and spokesman for Doctors Against Forced Organ Harvesting, said: ‘As unimaginable and untrue as this boy’s torment sounds, it shocks but does not surprise.”

‘Whereas hearts, livers and kidneys must be sourced from donors who match the same blood and body type of recipient patients, in-demand corneas for corrective eyesight operations can be taken from any age and body type.

Professor Caplan urged international governments to ‘stand up to China’ and take action to make it clean up its transplant industry.

Transplant tourists who travel to China with the right amount of money can order the organ needed, he said. A person or prisoner is found to match the recipient and is taken out and shot.
The World Health Organization estimates there are upwards of 7000 kidneys sold on the black market each year.  Others think that number is grossly underestimated.
 
In Mexico, there was a case of 4 missing indigenous children, kidnapped on their walk to school.  A few days later their bodies were discovered in a shallow grave, the chest cavity of each had been opened and organs removed.  State officials quickly stifled the story and declared there was no indication of organ harvesting in this case or any.  I read the account in a regional newspaper which also ran the photos of the four children, when I returned to the website the following day, the story had been deleted.
 
I had always been a skeptic of the organ trafficking rumors because of the enormity of necessary logistics required in harvesting and the process to assure the integrity of the organ.  And the time element, an average of 11 hours from harvesting to transplant, in the most favorable conditions, for the  heart, pancreas, kidneys, intestine, and liver. 

Corneas, skin and bone are viable of up to 5 years.

However, knowing how the organ black market  industry functions in China, there is absolutely no reason why organized crime groups in Mexico can't do likewise.  One can imagine that for a lure of high payment, a medical facility and low paid, unscrupulous doctors, can be  accessed... who will harvest the organs...no questions asked.

  2. Hmm trafficking organs is almost next to impossible if they are from the abdominal region. Certain test must be done to see there is a match, it's not as easy as changing car parts.

      Not really because it's like playing lotto millions buy tickets and sometimes no match. Even within the same family there are times when there is no match for an organ. There is a lot of more problems with this than you might think.

  4. 2:33PM you are where I was a year ago...that is not how traffickers work. organs are tested for blood type, and sent to the highest bidder on a long list.
    Live people are delivered to unscrupulous medical facilities, this is not done by laymen

  5. If I was a Sicario for the Templarios or any other Cartel I would of shot my boss already, How can these fools let Chayo force them too eat someone's Organs? Seriously these sicarios need to start standing up to their bosses if they're being forced to eat organs or do some other scandalous crap but I doubt that will happen..

    1. This is a smoke screen cover up for the notion that they beat and killed el chayo then claimed his death was during a stand off. This shows agian the corruption of the government of picking and choosing who lives and who dies amongst the capos.

    2. Well if that is the case I hope they pick and choose every capo and remove their eyes and kidneys without anastesia. Beating and shooting capos are just too kind

    3. 2:36 maybe ask el broli about eating people raw, other than his fans male and women.
      This plancarte guy is going to have to explain quite a few things, before he gets thrown to the carcel y se lo cojan hasta por los ojos, he will be asking for the death penalty ASAP!

    4. El chayo is innocent of these outrageous claims, they fought against the zetas for the same reason! In GTO .. Celaya look it up... they were good ppl idk what happened if the power went to his head or not but they showed face when even the government wouldn't... and that's real so everyone hating can really stfu

  10. Well here goes a story for you all. In the city of zamora there is a hospital that has database with certain information, and the funny thing is that people go in get work and some of the poorest disappear. True or not. Who cares the point is that this shit has been going on for a while. To the point where you cant trust police or hospitals cause anything in michoacan, has a price. So lets say your son goes in they run clinic test for something legit. Next thing it might dissappear cause lungs eyes or any usable body parts. Once again been around this area with tons of poor people, ready for harvest. And the rest of the world ask why are they revolting. Thanks Peña nieto, PRI.

The tatoo was of a midevil cross, the likes that the crusaders use to carry while on their crusades. El americano is suspect

  14. Chivis: In response to a couple of your questions about the veracity of the stories: First, I don't think an illegal organ harvesting operation would need much high-tech equipment. Most of the equipment used in legitimate organ transplant operations is intended to (1) keep the patient alive while a donated organ is being extracted and alive after the operation, and (2) keep the donor alive until the organ is extracted in the case of a brain dead donor. This insures the organs will remain viable as long as possible. Note that transportation is not high-tech; they use small freezer boxes.

    Of course, if the brave Templarios do not care whether the child survives, or, more likely, do not intend for the child to survive, low tech is all you need. Disposal of the bodies is likewise easier because of the size of the cadavers. Hell, El Pozolero got rid of hundreds of adult cadavers in Baja. This also explains the origins of the narcofosas that are almost daily being discovered all around the country.

    I don't know much about DNA matching or typing, but the brave sicarios probably cut first and match later and have standing orders. Or they may simply deliver the raw product, so to speak, and have doctors who will take care of the marketing.

    In any case, I hope these sons of bitches die painful deaths.

Generalizations encompassing entire groups of people as a whole are fucking retarded and more for BDN.
