Link back to thread 2 - October 30-31)

.

Contained in thread 2:

.

Contact information for the ACLJ, link for Chris Ferrara's legal brief, Senate Amendment to Terri's Bill, Ken Connor of the Family Research Council joins fight for Terri's Law, contact information for law enforcement and Judge Demers, Republic's impassioned letter to Judge Demers, Schiavo's claim that Terri's surgery was a success, link to CBN interview with the Schindlers (Oct 31), state's medical directors come out against Terri's Law, more links to testimony and legal debate, short bio on Judge Demers, update from the vigil and a doctor's exam report on Terri from 1990. Wacky Sam has also graciously offered to provide server space for documents to be kept to prevent their loss form other sources.

There is also a lot of discussion and links dealing with the seeming network of connnections between the girlfriend, Jodi, various insurance business links and possibly Terri's new doctor. In addition, several questions are addressed regarding Michael Schiavo's hiding of assets and tricks that may have been employed to throw off investigative efforts. Some of the FReepers have been doing their homework on the unholy alliances in the case. Let's keep working to connect the dots and expose the results. Also contained in thread 2 is some of Schiavo's litigious history, a bit more information on George Felos and more on Jay Wolfson. Some information on the doctors involved in Terri's case can be found on this thread as well. Since there are so many posts and links to the above mentioned topics, the best thing to do is to browse the thread.

Pat is acting on behalf of the Schindlers, as Felos is acting on behalf of Michael (and supposedly Terri).

The appointment of Wolfson as guardian-at-litem does not supercede Michael's guardianship nor does it exclude the Schinders from exercising their rights in court.

Wolfson will report his findings to Jeb Bush, as I understand it. His findings will not carry the same weight as a judicial ruling, in fact I don't know if they will be made public, though I assume so.

Felos can be expected to challenge Michael's removal as guardian, if the court rules in Anderson's favor Nov. 5.

Also running in the background is the investigation into alleged abuse(s) by Michael Schiavo, of Terri as a disabled person, by the Florida agency (whose name escapes me right now) for elderly and disabled persons. We will not learn of their findings until that investigation has been completed.

[Theodore R.]

So Schiavo reluctantly acknowledged "one child" when Larry King asked, though he had just had his second one some three days earlier! Obviously, Schiavo did not want his "adoring fans" (like Janet Reno)to know the full measure of the man.

Let's follow up on this. I will see what I can do but if you know of anyone who can help me please do not hesitate to see if they can do it quickly and submit it to me so that I can incorporate. Regards.

There's also a poll about Terry on that site and everyone
get over there and VOTE.

[Theodore R.]

if the court rules in Anderson's favor Nov. 5.

If that were to happen, the whole case would be essentially over, and Schiavo would be unable to continue his battle to kill her. I doubt that hardly ANYONE expects Demers to rule against Schiavo as the guardian.

[Theodore R.]

It may have been a condo, not an apartment. I think I had seen both terms. I did not know that the Schindlers owned a condo. Now they live in a motor home. Terri's fight has cost them all nearly their earthly funds.

Just heard on Fox News now: the Eric Burns hosted show(forget the name--on now, 6:30 EST) is going to review media coverage of Terri's case.

Interesting article about the hospice here...(long, only posting tidbits)
http://www.hospicepatients.org/Saving-Hospice-from-Hospice-Extremists.html

Who are the extremists that have taken over the hospice and hijacked it for their own agenda? From the St. Petersburg Times and other documents, it is clear that the extremists who have taken over this hospice are Mary Labyak and Teresa Craig. Mary Labyak is the C.E.O. of the hospice and President of $uncoast $olutions. Teresa Craig is C.E.O. of the for-profit experimental venture, $uncoast $olutions, that is designed to make money for those on its payroll. $uncoast $olutions is not an altruistic charitable undertaking at all: it's all about money!

Mary Labyak is leading this hospice (and the industry) in a direction which furthers her extremist agenda in making hospice a place to kill the disabled! Mary Labyak is recognized as a leader of the national hospice industry, asked to speak at national conventions about hospice by the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization and other groups. Do these organizations question her extremist agenda of killing patients in hospice? Not one bit! Not one statement from these national groups has condemned the Hospice of the Florida Suncoast for wrongly admitting Terri Schiavo into hospice! That is very, very troubling, to say the least.

They are willing to violate the federal law that forbids admitting non-terminal patients into hospice.

Labyak admits that more than a million dollars has been diverted from the hospice to the for-profit $uncoast $olutions! She tries to explain it away by saying it is a "loan," but nobody has informed us of any loan declared on the books of the for-profit $uncoast $olutions. We would like to see it if it exists. Everybody knows that if a loan is taken out, a contract is written defining the terms of the loan, commonly with interest to be paid. When the public donated to this hospice, they did not intend for their donations to be used for profit! Not to the tune of more than a millions dollars, which is what Labyak admits. The class action lawsuit and hospice's own internal documents show that over $7 million has been diverted over the past few years to the for-profit. Labyak admits diverting the funds.

*****hope the source url can validate this next comment*****
When Mary Labyak drives around in her $ 31,000 (THIRTY-ONE THOU$AND DOLLAR) dark blue "free to her" 2003 Chrysler Sebring luxury convertible (paid for by donations to the hospice) visiting those clubs or sits around in her posh Condo, does she worry about the staff who may be overworked? Is she overly concerned about services to the patients? Does Teresa Craig worry about the staff or patient services when she drives around in her $30,000 (THIRTY THOU$AND DOLLAR) gold "free to her" Chrysler Sebring luxury convertible (paid for by donations to the hospice)? Does Mike Bell worry about the staff or patient services when he drives around in his $ 30,000 (THIRTY THOU$AND DOLLAR) silver "free to him" Chrysler Sebring luxury convertible (paid for by donations to the hospice)? Do they have a conscience that might bother them knowing that donations to the hospice pay for their luxury cars and other perks and bonuses? Obviously not.

They know that while big bonuses are being doled out over at $uncoast, while they get their perks like ("free" to them) luxury cars and bonuses (declared or hidden), those funds used to pay for their perks are not available to pay for services to the patients. They also know that staff salaries had been frozen for the past few years (oh yes, they finally gave them a small raise).

copy of letter written by Kathleen to St Pete Times ....

It is a proven fact that Mr. Schiavo had at least one affair and fathered an illegitimate child while still married to Terri before she was injured,
He is paying child support. Since her injuries, it is also a proven fact that he has been with numerous women one with whom he now has one child with another on the way.
(excerpt)

[pickyourpoison]

I wonder when Terri's parents found out about the first child.

[Aliska]

I found this LIBERAL? website, and the comments are almost OVERWHELMINGLY pro-Terri:

Dean's World, Defending the liberal tradition in history, science, and philosophy.

There are a lot of intelligent comments by people who have read up on this case more than average and quite a few links. Going through the comments and links may be helpful.

Also found this excellent National Review Online article

What I like the NRO article is that is provides in easily digestible form the questionable and unsettling aspects of this case. Maybe it has already been posted here. I can't keep up with all the info.

Why not ping Registered? or Paul Atreides?

[tutstar]

good ?, I don't know......

[msmagoo]

With the attention of the WORLD now focused on this case, you may be pleasantly surprised Nov. 5th! I hardly expect a judge to turn against one of his colleagues, but at the same time, I expect that Demers might be looking for a save-face way to resolve this dispute.

With the birth of Michael and Jody's second child it can hardly be argued he has no conflict of interest nor can it be argued he places "Terri's wishes" above all other considerations, having betrayed his marital vows by living in an adulterous relationship. Of course, MS's excuse is that Terri died a long time ago...but the fact that she continues to breathe on her own proves him a liar.

There really are no shades of gray when it comes to whether someone is dead or alive, contrary to what Michael and Felos say. As long as her heart is beating she is alive and he is an adulterer trying to kill her with the court's permission.

Time for Demers to wake up and smell the coffee! If he finds Michael to be a "good" guardian, he can expect a massive backlash when the Schindlers air all Michael's dirty laundry in public, on Larry King Live this Thursday, Nov. 6.

OTOH, if Michael has been removed as guardian as of Nov. 5th, Demers will be praised as a hero.

connection between Mary Labyak and George Felos
http://www.apfn.org/apfn/Terri_felos.htm

"Felos ... was a founding member of the National Legal Advisors Committee on Choice in Dying, and served as Board Chair of The Hospice of the Florida $uncoast. Where did the phrase "choice in dying" come from? Well, there was an organization called the Euthanasia Society of America which changed its name to "Choice in Dying" which no longer exists - it merged into the "Partnership for Caring" which was founded by Ira Byock, MD. Mary Labyak is corporate Secretary and Treasurer of Partnership for Caring.

Anyone that can help. I don't understand how to ping. Thanks in advance for any assistance or getting others to assist.
