The article, Scientology,
the Clearwater Bar Association, and Judge Greer
mentioned that Pat Anderson—former attorney
for the Schindlers—characterized the irregular
rulings in the Terri Schiavo case as "the rule of Terri's
case."
According to Ms Anderson:
"If
following a legal procedure will likely result in
Terri dying, it will be adhered to. But if a
procedure could make that outcome more difficult
to attain, it will not be followed."
(Quote source:
The
Rule of Terri's Case Strikes Again)
Since legal
procedures would not cause Terri Schaivo to die,
illegal procedures were used. The
Scientology-controlled Circuit Court Six relied on illegal
procedures and an illegal
court order to end the life of a brain damaged,
non-terminal woman who displayed enough cognitive
ability to communicate her desire
to
live.
Scientology policy,
rather than the Florida statutes, has prevailed in
the Terri Schiavo case. Does this mean Judge Greer
is a Scientologist? Not necessarily. It is not
necessary, and oftentimes not desirable, to be an
official Scientologist in order to further
Scientology's agenda. Many individuals—especially
those in governmental positions—carry out
Scientology's wishes without being an
"official" part of their network.
Judge Greer, who is
known as a Southern Baptist, is a longtime friend
of Mary Repper. Ms Repper is a consultant for the
"church" of Scientology
(1)
and though she is reportedly retired, in
the past she worked on several of Judge Greer's
campaigns.
(2)
Greer is not the only elected official Mary Repper
has influenced:
Prominent
political consultant Mary Repper is shepherding a
flock of elected officials and hopefuls for face
time at the house that Hubbard built, reports the St.
Petersburg Times.
Repper apparently
networks with key Scientology leaders and acts
somewhat like a proxy priming politicians for them
and then ushering them into meetings.

Politicians Sucking Up to Scientology in Florida?)
Mary Repper has inspired
many elected officials to take a second look at the
"church":
"I work with
a lot of elected officials who turn to the
church," Repper said. "Everyone goes now
and visits. Ten years ago, it was a different
thing. It's a new day. It's been for quite a few
years."
(Quote source: Are

Indeed, the
Clearwater Bar Association, which awarded Judge
Greer for the way he handled the Terri Schiavo case,
holds their meetings in Scientology's spiritual
headquarters—the Fort Harrison Hotel. (3)
Mary Repper touted George W. Greer as being the right person
to handle the Terri Schiavo case:
"He is such
a good and decent man and to have this kind of rap
being put on him right now is so unfair,"
said Mary Repper, a political strategist who has
helped Greer's campaigns. "If ever this was
to be put into the hands of someone who is going
to be fair and do the right thing, George was the
right person."

Greer Evokes Admiration, Anger)
Why
would Mary Repper, a prominent Scientologist, use
her political consulting skills to help Judge Greer win
election after election? In what way has this
benefited Scientology, the organization that Mary Repper is devoted to?
Scientologists are devoted to furthering the goals of Scientology:
"The ONLY
concern for a Scientologist is to do every thing
he or she can to help Scientology. All other
concerns such as family, profession, society and
even
the law of the land, are trivia unless they
might impact on Scientology." (4)
If Mary Repper has
conformed to Scientology ethics, (5)
her years of campaigning to keep Judge Greer in his
position as Sixth
Circuit Court judge in Pinellas-Pasco county has furthered Scientology's agenda.
Mary Repper, like
all Scientologists, is Keeping Scientology Working.
