Hot mic catches Xi and Putin discussing organ transplants and immortality

[muriel_volestrangler]

Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin have been overheard discussing organ transplants as a means of prolonging life on the sidelines of a military parade in Beijing.
...
"In the past, it used to be rare for someone to be older than 70 and these days they say that at 70 one's still a child," Xi's translator could be heard saying in Russian.

An inaudible passage from Putin follows. His Mandarin translator then added: "With the development of biotechnology, human organs can be continuously transplanted, and people can live younger and younger, and even achieve immortality."

Xi's translator then said: "Predictions are, this century, there's a chance of also living to 150 [years old]."

Normally, I see "hot mic" moments as deliberate leaks. But this? Yeah, I think both will do anything to cling to power.

2. There's a line from a Sherlock Holmes movie, where Sherlock says:

“Megalomaniacs get so much more chatty when they think they have the upper hand”

3. They really do think they can live forever, don't they?

And hold on to power until the bitter end.

And with their unlimited resources, they probably could push the boundaries. But the reaper will come.

4. They are likely afraid of what is on the other side of death for them, when it comes.

5. Whose. Organs are they stealing . Children of the poor.

Maybe enemies of the state.? Ghoulish monsters.

The new greatest enemy is the Billionaire- Authoritarian Alliance.

They will kill for organs.
