Scientology Treats Terri Schindler Schiavo as if She is Already Dead

Where does one cease to survive and begin to succumb?

The point of demarcation is not death as we know it. It is marked by what one might call the death of the consciousness of the individual.

(Death of Consciousness) [1]

Hubbard believed that people who have lost their capacity to reason (the cognitively disabled) are in the process of dying:

But just as unconsciousness always precedes death, even by instants, so does the death of reason precede the death of the organism. And this action may happen in a long span of time, even half a lifetime, even more.

(Death of Consciousness) [1]

Hubbard taught that people who experience pain and can no longer care for themselves automatically lose the will to live:

Knowledge does not destroy a will to live. Pain and loss of self-determinism destroy that will (and by self-determinism we mean that state of being whereby the individual can or cannot be controlled by his environment according to his own choice).

(Death of Consciousness) [1]

Michael is representing his Catholic wife as having a Scientology value system! None of Terri's relatives or friends ever heard her say she would rather die than have medical intervention and rehabilitation. The reason for this is because it is highly unlikely that Terri ever made this statement. Death in response to disability is not a part of Terri's value system. It is, however, part of Michael's value system. As he stated on Larry King Live, which aired on October 27, 2003, Michael Schiavo has already removed his own mother's and father's feeding tubes!

SCHIAVO: Removing somebody's feeding is very painless. It is a very easy way to die. Probably the second better way to die, being the first being an aneurysm.

And it doesn't bother me at all. I've seen it happen. I had to do it with my own parents.

(Quote source: CNN Larry King Live) [2]

It is Scientologists who are told the Organization would rather have them dead than incapable!

"You're here so you're a Scientologist. Now we're going to make you an expert auditor no matter what happens. We'd rather have you dead than incapable." (HCO POLICY LETTER OF 7 FEBRUARY 1965 REISSUED 15 JUNE 1970).¹

The Scientology-controlled Pinellas County Court has permitted Michael Schiavo to abuse, neglect and exploit Terri in an effort to cause her to lose the will to live. As soon as he was awarded a handsome malpractice settlement earmarked for Terri's rehabilitation, his "already dead" attitude manifested.

In keeping with the satanic perversions prevalent in this case, Judge Greer has consented to Michael Schiavo's request to use Terri's recovery money to attempt to bring about her destruction. Among other things, Judge Greer has approved:

A secretly filed fee petition to award George Felos $225 per hour and thousands of dollars in "costs" in pursuit of her death (all withdrawn from Terri’s Medical Rehabilitation Fund)

Approve Medicaid Assistance applications with a "Special Needs Provision" to preserve and allow Terri’s pledged Medical Rehabilitation Fund assets to be available to Schiavo’s attorney, George Felos for payment of his and other legal fees

George Felos' Description of Terri is L. Ron Hubbard's  Definition For Death!

George Felos, attorney for Michael Schiavo, has stated several times that Terri has "no consciousness":

"There's no evidence of cerebral activity. She's not brain dead but she has no consciousness, no awareness and she never will," Felos said.

(Schiavo: Nothing's Going to Stop Me) [3]

His lawyer, George Felos, told Lauer this morning that twenty experts have examined Terri and agree there is “no consciousness, no thought.” 

"Terri’s Tube Scheduled to be Removed at 2:00pm" [4] [curiously, this article has been removed.]

"There is no cognition, no consciousness," Felos told the Tampa Tribune.
(Media 'getting it wrong' on Schiavo story) [5]

George Felos' repeated use of this particular buzzphrase is no accident. No consciousness means unconsciousness. Unconsciousness is Scientology's word for death!

 L. Ron Hubbard said that complete unconsciousness is death:

Complete unconsciousness is death. Half unconsciousness is half death. A quarter unconsciousness is a quarter of death. And as one accumulates the pain attendant upon life and fails to accumulate the pleasures, one gradually loses his race with the gentleman with the scythe. And there ensues, at last, the physical incapacity for seeing, thinking and being, known as death.

(Death of Consciousness)

Michael Schiavo has done every illegal thing possible to remove from Terri all the pleasures of life in order to try to cause her to lose the race with L. Ron Hubbard's depiction of a gentleman: death

Like Lisa McPherson, Terri Schindler Schiavo is a public victim of Scientology tech. Unlike Lisa, Terri is still alive. It is a fact that Scientology used Lisa's dehydration death— at their hands— to pave the way for them to openly break Florida laws in their quest to destroy Terri Schindler Schiavo as well as any "suppressive" who stands in their way. 

After Scientology got away with killing Lisa McPherson, they knew they could use their well-deserved reputation for ruthless litigation tactics to pave the way for them to achieve the coveted "euthanasia by hearsay" precedent. They easily managed the opposition until too many people began to speak out on Terri's behalf for Scientology's comfort level. Their solution? Infiltrate and manage the "help terri" grassroots movement. "Helping Terri" is so tightly controlled that talking about the obvious Scientology connection is not allowed. It certainly is not allowed on the Terri Schiavo Free Republic forums. One poster "slipped" and revealed that permission must be obtained before posting about the outcome of court hearings! I inquired about this, but so far, have been ignored.  

Pamela Hennessy will not permit me to join her private  helpterri Yahoo group. I assume that nobody on her private email list mentions anything that is not "allowed." Mentioning the blatantly altered pictures on terrisfight.org (including the "Scientology and the Number 8" article) is not "allowed" either. It is time to do what is not allowed—expose the Scientology tech that is being used against Terri Schindler Schiavo.

Scientology believes and behaves as though Terri has no rights. Evidence of this belief system in play: Terri Schindler Schiavo is not receiving her retained rights as a disabled adult as defined by the Florida statutes. Scientology, via their various agents, has violated Terri Schindler Schiavo's rights as an incapacitated person for over a decade. After Lisa McPherson died at their hands, they calculated whether the Clearwater public was sufficiently afraid of them so they could work their "deny rehabilitation and commit euthanasia" agenda unopposed. They need fear in order to continue to act unopposed. Let us move against their illegal and immoral agenda in faith, not fear. 

We must fear God and not man. To not fight this death agenda due to fear is to give in to it and permit it to affect our own lives in the same way it is affecting Terri's.

The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe. Prov. 29:28

 

Terri is Treated As if She is Already Dead

Pat Anderson has coined a phrase that she uses to describe how Terri is treated by Michael Schiavo and his backers: "already dead."

She told Wesley J. Smith that Michael Schiavo and Judge Greer treat Terri as though she is already dead:

"It's the Rule of Terri's Case. Both the guardian and the judge treat Terri as though she were already dead and in no need of these statutory protections." (The Rule of Terri's Case Strikes Again)

The St. Pete Times was also informed that Terri has been treated as though she is already dead:

"She has been treated as if she's already dead," Anderson said. "She's never had a chance to get better."

(No date set for Schiavo tube to be removed)

Pat Anderson repeated the "already dead" phrase to the Tampa Tribune:

``The guardian is not free to treat his ward as a piece of chattel. She has been treated for years as though she is already dead.''

(Schiavo Case Delayed Again)

Pat also used the "already dead" phrase in this interview: 

"The fact is that her guardian treats her as if she is already dead," Anderson said, citing Terri's 40th birthday party in the hospice when family members were subject to strict rules enforced by a uniformed guard stationed in her room whenever she has visitors.

(Report on Terri Schiavo's needs faulted for key shortcomings)

Michael Schiavo's treatment of a wife he considers to be "already dead" is clearly evident in the following question and answer excerpt:

Q.  What did you do with your wife's jewelry?
MS. My wife's jewelry?

Q.  Yeah.
MS. Um, I think I took her engagement ring and her...what do they call it...diamond wedding band and made a ring for myself.

November 1993 Guardianship deposition 

In December of 2000, Michael Schiavo blatantly parroted Scientology doctrine to the media by stating that Terri no longer had a soul!

That evening, following the hearing, TV reports aired on both the early and late newscasts. Interestingly, Michael Schiavo stated "it is time for Terri to die, since Terri no longer had a soul".

Scientology Questions The Sanity of Those Who Fight Them

Scientology questions the sanity of anyone who rejects Hubbard's doctrines:

Mr. Felos is on record in the courts, questioning the sanity of Terri's family for protesting her death. 

Quoted from: terrisfight.org Media Kit [removed from the internet]

Fighting Scientology's death agenda seems insane to those who believe that disabled people have an urge to die:

Society, the bulk of which is bent upon survival, fails or refuses to recognize death or the urge of organisms toward it. Society passes laws against murder and suicide. Society provides hospitals. Society carries such people [the disabled] on its back. And society will not hear of euthanasia or "mercy killing." (Self Analysis by L. Ron Hubbard; pg. 28) 

George Felos has not stopped at questioning the sanity of Terri's parents. He, along with Deborah Bushnell, resorted to Scientology fair game tactics that are devilishly perverse. Both attorneys implied that Terri's parents assaulted their own daughter. They notified the press of these false charges without even informing the Schindlers. These attorneys should definitely have been reprimanded by Judge Greer. Instead, the judge listened to them as they continued their fair game tactics against the Schindlers in the May 26th hearing.

If you read the hearing, take note that Swope and Bushnell did not defend their unethical and unprofessional actions of falsely accusing the Schindlers. Instead, in true Scientologist fashion, they were not interested in charges, but continued to hurl even more charges at the Schindlers. 

Terri Schindler Schiavo is ALIVE and Greatly Loved

Terri Schiavo is not in the process of dying. She is not terminally ill. She is alive, conscious, and cognitively able. She is not half-conscious or half-dead. She is disabled and in great need of speech and physical therapy to which she is entitled under Florida law. She has no rights under Scientology policy and has been deteriorating in a hospice under Michael Schiavo's strict "already dead" care policy. [update: Terri was dehydrated to death.]

Scientology promotes the lies that Terri Schindler Schiavo has no consciousness and that it is her wish to be subjected to the slow, painful ordeal of dehydration until she "drops her body." (George Felos, attorney for Michael Schiavo favors the term, ("death process.")

According to Scientology doctrine, Terri Schindler Schiavo is not authentically alive, and as a dead person, retains no rights. This is exactly how she has been treated by her court-appointed guardian and his accomplices. (See update 4/18/05: Michael Schiavo: "Terri Died 15 Years Ago")

Terri Schindler Schiavo does have rights as a substantially disabled United States citizen, and special rights under the The Americans with Disabilities Act. And yet her rights have been withheld from her by a powerful group that does not honor the laws of the land or value anyone who scores low on their Scientology tone scale.

Will the Florida Supreme Court defy the Scientology agenda and uphold the Florida statues? Or will they allow Michael Schiavo to inflict his Scientology death wishes on a wife he abandoned years ago and who—despite his abuse— has a very strong will to live?

Please inform the Florida Supreme Court that you are aware of the Scientology agenda in this case and that you expect them to rule by Florida law, not Scientology policy. 

UPDATE:  Michael Schiavo even indicated that the thought Terri was already dead (while she was alive) on her gravestone! Michael Schiavo marked Terri's Grave with Scientology Death Doctrine
