AV Plugs
I had forgotten about these things until I ran across an article just now. They are anal plugs, or actually AV Plugs, used by embalmers on the body of someone who has died. They don't use them on every cadaver, but they use them fairly often.
The reason I say I had forgotten about them is because when I was a kid I spent a lot of time with my aunt and uncle. I spent a lot of nights with them when my parents were working. My uncle worked for a funeral home and back then if there was a body there someone always spent the night. So on nights he had to be there we all stayed in a large bedroom upstairs. The bedroom was also used to store some of the new caskets before they were put out for display for people to chose one buy it. So I went to the bathroom many nights and had to walk by a bunch of caskets. 
My uncle sometimes had to go down to the parlor and embalm a body. When I was 12 he started letting me go down with him. That's where I saw a lot of these plugs. The one in the picture is an AV Plug for the anus and vagina. There are different sized ones, there's smaller ones they screw into gunshot wounds and sometimes where a trocar is used, etc. The reason they use them is to keep any fluids from leaking out of the embalmed body.
Not everyone uses AV Plugs. Some embalmers have an aversion to them for some reason. They just pack cotton in the anus or wherever a leak could occur.
Here's a quick little how-to on embalming if anyone is interested:
The body is placed on the embalmers stainless steel table and all their clothes removed. The body is washed down with a strong antiseptic. The mouth and nose are wiped out with a large cotton swab before the mouth is stitched closed. This is done with a large curved suturing needle and a piece of nylon string. The needle is pushed up under the chin, through into the mouth, through the top of the mouth and out through the nose. The other end is also put through the chin, into the mouth, through the nose and tied to the other end where it is pulled tight and tied off. The loose ends are pushed down the back of the nose out of sight. Little plastic serrated caps are inserted under the eyelids to keep them closed. An incision is then made in the side of the neck and cut down to locate the main vein and artery. These are clamped, tied and cut. A pump with about 8-10 litres of embalming fluid is connected to the artery and slowly put into the body. The vein is left open to allow the blood to drain from the body. This process may be repeated on the other side if the circulation is not good or the legs may be done separately if the circulation is poor as is often the case with elderly people. The next stage involves making an incision in the abdomen and inserting a device called a trocar. This is a sharp metal probe connected to a suction apparatus which basically punctures all the organs. This is first pushed up into the heart, to bleed and create tracts in the tissues for the formaldehyde to permeate. The lungs, liver, kidneys etc get the same treatment before it is pointed the other way to damage the bladder intestines etc. A bottle of formaldehyde is then poured into the abdominal cavity which stops any decomposing and gas formation. (bloated bodies).
A plastic plug is then screwed into the hole to stop any leaks, the cuts in the neck or groin area are superglued together and in the case of a possible leak from the anus or vagina, a large threaded plastic device is screwed into place.
Looking back it's a wonder if I ain't messed up in the head.

The Elites don't fear the tall nails, government possesses both the will and the means to crush those folks. What the Elites do fear (or should fear) are the quiet men and women, with low profiles, hard hearts, long memories, and detailed target folders for action as they choose.
