« Today may be D-day for Maria Korp | Main | Bar association honors Greer » May 15, 2005Scientology And Terri Schiavo - Is There A Connection?Topics: CommentaryI've recently become more interested in what many believe to be an influence upon the Terri Schiavo murder by judicial fiat and scientology, and have previously written on the relationships and connections between various Pinellas county folks that beg for an investigation. Although a connection has long been suggested(not by me alone), no clarity exists on the matter, and there's certain to be many who will disagree, among them a close personal friend and fellow vet. However, the idea of there being a connection seems to be gathering a little steam, and we've received info about a few comments and posts on other sites. One of the more interesting comments was found at Title of Liberty. The entire comment follows; I've posted it here because I intend to follow-up on the matter with subsequent posts. From an anonymous commentor via Title of Liberty: I've read some web sites which say that there is a connection between Terri's plight and the Scientologists. I find these web sites to be "Michael Moorish" in the way that they draw diabolical conclusions by drawing loose connections together. Particularly the following site: http://libertytothecaptives.net/ (I think whoever does that site is well meaning and the site has a lot of good factual points... but it is too "trigger happy" and, therefore, will come across as irrational or nutty... which is a shame considering what is at stake here and how much of a Scientology connection there really is that should be investigated and revealed.) However, on the other hand, I do think that there is some merit to the argument which need to be presented in a more no-nonsense way and backed up by mainstream sources. In particular: (1) the scientologist's philosophy is very, very pro-euthanasia... in fact, to Nazi-like extremes. (2) The scientologists probably have more political, legal, and economic power over Clearwater than the Mormons do over Salt Lake City. No kidding! (3) The scientologists have long been in the habit of using the judiciary to accomplish their goals (policitical, economic, philosophical, etc). Even if there is no specific grand conspiracy going on here, these facts alone indicate that there was probably some kind of "subliminal" influence of Scientology values on the judiciary in Clearwater regarding Terri's case. But don't take my word for it... READ/WATCH the items below: 1981 60-Minutes report about Scientology just starting to move into Clearwater Time Magazine Article St. Petersburg Time articles about Scientology: here, here, and here, EXCERPT: "You can't separate Salt Lake City and the Mormons, and you can't separate Clearwater and Scientology," said Ray Cassano, a Scientologist whose 146-unit downtown condo tower will rise next door to the historic post office. "We may be a bigger presence here because Clearwater is a smaller city." A
St. Petersburg Times article (inadvertently) describes similarities to
Terri in Lisa McPherson's mysterious death while in Scientologist's
care. L. Ron Hubbard own writings demonstrate an extremist Nazi-like
philosophy about dealing with disabled or retarded or unstable
individuals. Disturbing tactics are also revealed. There is an
unmistakable connection between these tactics proposed in Hubbard's
writings and the actual actions of the Scientologists as described in
the 60-minutes and Time magazine reports. No doubt about it. here, here, and ESPECIALLY... here. Answers.com general article about Scientologist's extensive use (and abuse) of the legal system. Testimony from a writer who was harassed by Scientologists. She wrote 1 book back in 1971 and was harassed by the Scientologist with character assassinations and frivolous lawsuits for decades. Ironically, this testimony was before a commission in Clearwater at the time that they were concerned about scientologists moving into their town. (They have since accepted the scientologists because the "assimilation" is practically complete.) Lastly, there is this fictional movie that is supposedly about cults in general (not necessarily scientology.. but there are some similarities and the creator of the movies was a former scientologist for 20 years. He is also a former Universal Studios V.P.) This movie is currently blocked from release by a Pinellas County judge... has been for quite a while. See here, here, here, here. (Is this normal? I thought this was a free country with freedom of speech?) Given the Scientologist's proven track record of attacking the messenger (with vengeance), I'm too fearful to post my name... Definitely, something is not right in Clearwater/Pinellas County. Keep in mind that the links I've provided make extensive use of mainstream media sources and direct quotes from L. Ron Hubbard. Check these out and draw your own conclusions. ...someone needs to get this information to the public... - End item Hat tip - Juleni and Title of Liberty Cross posted at Hyscience Posted by richard at May 15, 2005 7:56 AM Articles Related to Commentary:

Motive--that's what I'm trying to say. One needs motive. Posted by: mary et. al. at May 15, 2005 1:54 PM Motive? Tons of motive - their agenda, to clear the planet - of the base percentage of those at 2 OT or below (or some such measurement). To be able to do it with one, nationally, on TV, would be that initial public sacrifice possibly necessary to encourage confidence that they could go further with it. Not they, alone, granted. They are not powerful enough on their own, but as a part of others also pro-euthanasia, they would be encouraged by Terri's loss, proving that their beliefs are 'right'. 'Clearing the planet' is very important to them. Clearing it, at all costs. No, I too don't think they would be involved with Terri, if it weren't of some merit to them. But they have swamped Pinellas County's power positions, and would have controlled with their money (they are a rich group)to see their ends met; and would have lapped up such a public case to prove their point and 'clear' the way to go ahead with their venture of clearing the planet. Sure, it's quite conceivable. Posted by: juleni at May 15, 2005 2:28 PM Scientology – The Secret Force Behind Terri Schindler Schiavo’s Murder? What set the agenda for Terri to be starved/dehydrated to death right over the course of 13 days, with the world’s eyes ingrained hopelessly watching; begging anybody to help? That was the question haunting me as I returned from Not Dead Yet’s emergency action Easter Sunday outside of Woodside Hospice, where Terri then was on her 11th day without food and hydration. 8 of us had flown down there to protest in civil disobedience Terri’s right to life and her family’s right to take care of her. http://nation.com.pk/daily/mar-2005/29/international8.php She fought vali9antly each time to survive as long as she could. She was a martyr and we must remember that now that the precedence is set and everyone watched it on non-stop t.v., the euthanasia agenda begins its count of people claimed all across our great country. This issue affects us all, touches everybody at the heart, because whether we realize it or not, Terri is a reflection of us all, begging anybody in the whole world to help, please, please give me food and water. You can check out my site at www.endeavorfreedom.org If you have not already, find out about 9-11. What is funny is that we were just talking about this yesterday... Namaste, Posted by: Zen Garcia at May 15, 2005 2:37 PM Mary, please let me know what you think of what I said ~ did my above post make sense? I think they do have motive - and lots of it. Though I think only in this particular case, because of the county it occurred in. Posted by: juleni at May 15, 2005 2:45 PM Juleni, you made perfect sense. Posted by: Tom Spence at May 15, 2005 4:40 PM Yes, Juleni, you make sense, esp. when you say that it isn't scientology alone. I just think they are too small to do an international deed in broad public. If it were just scientology they would kill in secret or mostly secret, thinking they had the power to brazen out whatever publicity without proof they had. When they killed the other girl they hushed the doctor up--that's the speed I see them cruising at. And always there would have to be something in it for them. Perhaps they would kill Terri as a test case, otherwise I don't see how she threatened them or enriched them in any way. Again, though, if it was a test case, I don't think scientology is big enough to think this will get them anywhere in the near future. So there MUST be something more to the story. Posted by: mary et. al. at May 15, 2005 7:18 PM Tom Cruise just opened up a new church in Spain. Scientology – Clearwater Directory World Institute of Scientology Enterprises ... Church of Scientology Opens in Madrid - Tom Cruise & David Miscavige ... Tom Cruise: Scientology The Answer To Worlds Problems http://www.femalefirst.co.uk/entertainment/46472004.htm From what I understand Greta and husband From Fox News is a Scientologist as well. Mever have heard her say that on Fox, just read it on CNN a while ago. It's a religion. Posted by: Shaggy at May 15, 2005 8:31 PM Hmmm..Mary, some good points. Indeed, they usually are secretive in their killings; they also did do the hush on the doctors and undid the life of the medical examiner after killing the other girl (Lisa). You're right about that. Unless they were becoming more brazen in their misdeeds, perhaps - but that is a point: they would have to be growing to gain any kind of that sort of confidence, and in fact, they are losing members on a continued annual downward swing in numbers by the last reports I saw. Posted by: juleni at May 15, 2005 11:43 PM Yes, Shaggy, Greta's a scientologist from what I've read. And poor Tom Cruise; he's becoming a bit of a laughing stock around the fan magazines, etc., because he is so forceful upon agents to look into joining scientology; and his 'bad luck with women'. I know - he's dating a new one, and one who went over to start the auditing process the other day - but look at all he has lost in the meantime with his addiction to scientology. His real wife. His kids. Posted by: juleni at May 15, 2005 11:47 PM Juleni, Their church is growing all over the world. It is a religion to them, and has the non profit IRS status like all other church's do. It took them 20 years to get it. I don't understand what happened to Lisa but they are a prominent religion in this country and world wide. I read Larry King and a some other celebrities wrote a letter to Helmut Kohl of Germany requesting that their religious freedom be honored to get back into their country, they were banned at one time, but according to that link, they have a Church in Germany. They have the backing of a lot of Politicians in DC for their drug addiction programs. I would have liked to see Greta have the same panel of lawyers looking at Terri’s case like she did for Laci Peterson. She did that for two years every night. I can’t slam a religion. It is not right for me to slam Islam either. Not all people for Islam are bad people. What happened 10 years ago to Lisa may not be the case today. I know the story and it is heart breaking. Jeb Bush fired that medical examiner for changing the cause of her death. Worse, her pictures after her death. Ron Hubbard was not a well man himself and as far as I know, was wanted by the FBI when he died. Could be a rumor. Don’t know, don’t care. I read some letters Ron Hubbard wrote to the government and he asked for mental health care. He also wanted to control the government and the media. But that was years ago. Yes, Tom seems to have lost his wife because of his choice but that is his choice. However, Mimi Rogers, a Cruise X, is a member. Anne Archer, Juliette Lewis, Kristy Alley, John Travolta, more. We do have Freedom of Religion in this country. My higher power is God and the Son of God, Jesus Christ, my savior. We all have our choices. Can’t really condemn anyone for what they believe in, not for me to decide. I don’t want them making fun of my God and I won’t make fun of their beliefs. They also do not like to be criticized and are very sensitive. Can you blame them? I just read about a Rep from that Church that spoke to the Tiger Bay Group in Tampa, SPTimes and she was happy to answer all their questions and quell rumors. I didn't know Felos was a member, have never heard that before. He has not admitted that, that I know of. Suncoast Hospice killed Terri. Posted by: Shaggy at May 16, 2005 12:42 AM Is there a connection between the Florida Suncoast Hospice and Scientology? This is the only connection at this point that I want resolved. I think that there is a connection to the principles of Scientology as already mentioned by others who have made comments, and yes, I am seeking to investigate the connection between Terri and the death of Lisa McPherson. The photographs of Lisa McPherson were horrendous. She died from dehydration and starvation. What is not clear is whether this was caused by the Scientologists or by Lisa's own actions whilst she was being held at Flag. Whilst there are tenuous similarities between Lisa's situation and that of Terri, I do think that there is good reason to have a good look at the philosophy that lies behind the "disposal" of both women. I do not know what went wrong for Lisa. Everything that I have been reading about Scientology indicates that this is a cult that is very dangerous and that its practices causes people to tip over the edge. I have read stories about suicides amongst fledgling members of the cult, as they are being fleeced of their money by a money-hungry organization. Yet this is not what sets the cases of Lisa McPherson and Terri Schindler apart such that they do require further investigation. Posted by: Maggie4life at May 16, 2005 5:11 AM It happened again. I had to go and pick up my son from work and was logged out of the typepad. I do not think that George Felos is a Scientologist but it is probable that members of his law firm and also on his team acting for Michael Schiavo are Scientologist. I am going to guess that Hamblin Baskin III is a Scientologist. Also, I think that it might be worth while digging up Michael Schiavo's connection to Scientology. He was using the scientology techniques before George Felos came onto the scene. I do not believe that George Greer was involved in Scientology. There is another more interesting connection to guardianship involving Greer (this is something else that needs investigation). I suspect that there is a connection to Scientology with Everett Rice, and at a guess I think that Michael Schiavo's former employer at Agostino's restaurant was a Scientologist. Other probable Scientologists involved in this case are members of DCF who worked so hard to stifle the complaints against Michael Schiavo. There are two names that were very prominent in the stifling of investigations, and I think that the finger could be pointed directly at their involvement in this cult. As far as I am aware Cranford is not involved in Scientology. The connection for Cranford is the Hemlock Society (although it has a santized name to hide its purpose these days). It is this connection that involves George Felos, and more than like Michael Schiavo also joined the Hemlock Society since he found it so easy to pull the plug on his parents prior to pulling the plug on Terri. He has three deaths on his blood-stained (figurative) hands. Posted by: Maggie4life at May 16, 2005 6:04 AM Hello Everybody, Posted by: Zen Garcia at May 16, 2005 11:19 AM I never really spent much time thinking about Scientology--didn't mean anything to me; until Terri Schindler's case came to the National Front. Michael Brown has posted several articles on Spirit Daily and these are exerpts from one of the articles: http://www.spiritdaily.org/MHB%20editorials/schiavocult.htm
Crowley was one of the blackest figures in history, a man his own mother called "The Beast," and one who is cited as the inspiration for the Church of Satan. Said Hubbard's son in an interview: "I believed in Satanism. There was no other religion in the house! Scientology and black magic. What a lot of people don't realize is that Scientology is black magic that is just spread out over a long time period. To perform black magic generally takes a few hours or, at most, a few weeks. But in Scientology it's stretched out over a lifetime, and so you don't see it. Black magic is the inner core of Scientology --and it is probably the only part of Scientology that really works. Also, you've got to realize that my father did not worship Satan. He thought he was Satan. He was one with Satan." <<< There was a strong spirit of evil that prevailed when Terri was murdered in March; this spirit seems to have been loosed throughout the country. If LRon was as dedicated to the great evil spirit as his son indicates, then I have no doubt Scientology was instrumental in bringing about Terri's death. Satan hates nothing more than life; why would he ever be satisfied unless we begin to devalue the great gift that God gave us? One by one....it gets easier next time....and eventually no one will fight for life anymore. That is the goal; determine who is fit to live; eliminate those who are not, and eventually none of us will be fit."...in Scientology it's stretched out over a lifetime, and so you don't see it..." Eventually we will all have to die, because as we stretch our lives over our lifetime, we become less and less; our lives become more and more difficult--and who wants to live with the reduced quality of life???? I think this is just the beginning. We are seeing it every day--just the stories on this website; and by and by it's becoming more and more acceptable. Posted by: Tress at May 16, 2005 2:37 PM Can anyone answer this question - Is Larry King of CNN a Scientologist? Please say no. Posted by: Bella at May 16, 2005 3:37 PM Bela, I don't know. Google his name with COS and you get a lot of spots. I read that he signed a letter to Germany. Will try to find the link. Meanwhile, read this. I just don't know. In the past this church has been very sensitive so I prefer not to discuss them or accuse them of anything.
Posted by: Shaggy at May 16, 2005 6:50 PM Here is the letter signed by Larry King. Ref the other link, didn't know LK had so much trouble with the law before. Wow. http://www.german-way.com/scientad.html Posted by: Shaggy at May 16, 2005 8:28 PM The strong evidence is still missing as to who is and who is not a Scientologist. The ones who are up front about their involvement seem to be less of a threat than those who remain hidden. Yes, it is true that Greta van Susteran (or whatever her name) is listed as a Scientologist. Larry King was not on the list of celebrity scientologists. It might be worth investigating George Soros, since he seems to be the billionaire with the money to help spread euthanasia by whatever means are possible. What we have is a very tangled web where there are several players adding to the confusion. Some of the players are motivated by their own ideas about who has a right to live. Hubbard's organization fits into this category. Posted by: Maggie4life at May 17, 2005 3:27 AM I give Scientology the benefit of the doubt. I'm a big fan of some of their publications, many of which may indicate they might be on our side: Pseudoscience: Psychiatric Hoax: Eroding Justice: Unholy Assault: The Real Crisis in Mental Health Today http://cchr.org/publications/index.htm
Posted by: gopchristian at May 18, 2005 1:27 PM Gopchristian, You wrote, "I give Scientology the benefit of the doubt....they might be on our side" ~ How can this be, when L. Ron Hubbard was good friends with Alister Crowley who is cited as the inspiration for the church of Satan? How can this be, when Hubbard's son said that his father incorporated satanism and black magic into the heart of scientology and that his father thought he was one with Satan? And how can this be, when the primary goal of the Church of Scientology is to "clear the planet" in the following way (per L. Ron Hubbard's writings):
-L. Ron Hubbard, Science of Survival, 1951 (Those who will not accept Scientology will be "deleted" by the same "simple expedient".)

This facet of Terri's case is going to be investigated I think, even that it is in process of being investigated. However, I don't think that scientology had any reason to target Terri, per se, unless there is more here than we know about.
