Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard believed that death is a process
that begins with the loss of consciousness. According to Scientology
doctrine, the cessation of physical life is not the dividing line
between life and death. Hubbard taught his followers that death is
marked by the "death of the consciousness of the individual":
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)

Hubbard said 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)

Hubbard taught that people who experience pain and do not have the
ability to care for themselves 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)

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)


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 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)

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)


"There is no cognition, no consciousness," Felos told the Tampa
Tribune.

(Media 'getting it wrong' on Schiavo story)

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. My membership has been in a pending state since
December, 2003. I was never allowed to join. 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. They calculated whether the Clearwater public was
sufficiently afraid of them so they could work their "euthanasia by
hearsay" 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".

(Archived Site of the Terri Schindler Schiavo Foundation)

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.

(terrisfight.org Media Kit)

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 Scientology 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.

Scientology promotes the lies that Terri Schindler Schiavo has no
consciousness and that it is her wish to be subjected to the slow,
painful, death process of dehydration until she "drops her body."

According to Scientology doctrine, Terri Schindler Schaivo 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.

Terri Schindler Schaivo 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.
