Find out the TRUTH about Terris Fight for life
Amazon.com:Review ^ | April 22, 2006 | Debra M. Ferguson

Posted on 05/03/2007 3:17:03 AM PDT by 8mmMauser

I purchased this book last year, and found it to be one of the best references for facts in Terri Schiavo's case. Reading this book is like sitting down with Cheryl and Jan, and listening/watching them present the actual evidence and truth about so many things that the mainstream "pro euthanasia" media has refused to tell. You will see the actual hospital documents, police reports, and so much more.

I will warn you though, that once you learn about the judicial misconduct, FL laws broken, the details of Michaels malpractice case,(money was paid under the claim that Terri had a heart attack brought on by potassium imbalance that was undetected. The autopsy confirmed this assumption was bogus, and that Terri never had a heart attack brought on by anything. The news however, is consistently reporting to this day that the autopsy confirmed the heart attack! There is a lot more about the autopsy that has never been reported. The geniuses reported that the autopsy proves Terri was not strangled, however, it only proves that 15 years later, there is no sign of soft tissue damage - nor would there be if someone was strangled that long ago!) Reporters should be charged with a misleading the public charge for purposely reporting assumptions as truth. And why is it that all the TV stations do not disclose that Terris records were SEALED by Judge Greer?

No one reports on the bone scan that indicated a tremendous force hit her, as well as the multiple fractures and other damage. ****HBO Autopsy Dr. Himself, Mr Baden, had commented on the bone scan before Terris death, and suggested there may have been foul play.*** There is so much corruption involved in Terris case, Pro death judges making their political position the law, instead of obeying the law and keeping their opinions out of it! Greer sealed her case, so why isnt any anchors asking about that? Why were Michaels prescribed anti depressant bottles witnessed by the police the night of the "Incident" taken as evidence? Why were Terris friends and family not questioned regarding Michaels attitude, or any marital problems? The first report on what happened at the Schiavo residence, was titled a homicide. Why was it changed? What happened to the woodwards and Bernsteins in our country? Now each network or cable news feeds off the other, like vultures. They report the same story over and over, from reuters or the like, and rarely ever investigate it themselves. Newspapers follow suit. If someone investigated the five different interviews that Schiavo has given to the media and police reports, Michael Schiavo might very well be behind bars, in the cell next to Scott Peterson.

There is actually v ery little difference between the two, the more you learn about what may very well have happened that night to Terry. Yet strangely, Matt Lauer and Larry King, and all the other news media does not bring up these questions, or question Michael why in the 7 years after Terris "incident" did he never ever tell a soul about Terris wishes that for seven years he supposedly denied? No media outlet reported on the testimony that Schiavo told other people that he had no idea what Terri would have wanted, as they had never spoken of something like that happening in any context. The only time Michael did come out with this revelation was after he asked his girlfriend to marry him, and all of a sudden there was a rush to get rid of Terri and whooops, there it is, a million dollar inheritance!

If someone is in a position to gain something from another persons death, they should not be the guardian of that person. PERIOD. For all the sappy journalists that report that Michael became a nurse to take care of Terry, the truth is that he did not really "care" for Terry. He bossed around nurses, on a Schiavo power trip but he didnt take care of Terri. Did anyone report on the testimony of nurses that said that Terri would be visibly shaken after his visits, and afraid, crying, etc? Did they report that there were nurses that made entries in Terris medical file about things Michael said or did, or how Terri responded, and Michael would see to it that they were removed?

I could go on and on! If you care about the truth, learn more about this case, not just what you hear your TV anchor saying. We all owe that to Terri, because at the very least, what happened to her will affect all of the laws regarding other disabled people like her.

Of course the "Pro Death" movement hates this book, which is why I see some entries in the reviews desperately trying to persuade others to pass it up. They dont want you to see it, which is why you need to see it. Cheryl, who is by the way, a registered nurse gave up her life on the West coast as a consultant to the Schindlers during the fight for Terris life. She was on the inside, aware of all of the facts regarding Terris injuries, her marriage, the inconsistent interviews, Testimonies regarding the night of Terris "incident", and so much more. Ford and Craddock do the legwork in reading all of the court documents, and bring out the parts that others left buried. Cheryl also led thousands of Terris supporters, that grew once the videos were released. Here michael and Judge Greer were talking of Terri as if she were in a coma, as if she were sleeping and not responsive at all. Greer and Schiavo were furious that the videos were released to the public. That now there was proof that Terri was aware, and did respond to family, dr's questions, and requests, could track things with her eyes. Another fallacy of the autopsy was that Terri could not see. False. It was stated that to be sure that Terri could or could not see, a doctor would have to do just what the videos did. They would have to examine her and see how much she was able to see - and any moron could tell that Terri could see to some extent after recognizing family, and following baloons and lights she was requested to follow. The fight4terri group worked 24/7 through internet emails, faxes, phone calls, letters, protests, to reach those with the power to save Terris life.

Anyone upset about the facts in this book, is really angry that the truth is coming out in it. when the truth comes out, the advocates for people like Terri have their agendas pushed back once again. If people like Terri and others with Alzheimers and brain damage, chronic disease, etc are looked at as liabilities within the health system rather than human beings who still have worth, who still have hope, and who still have a right to live with simple food and water. Terri, was not on any machines as was reported on many programs, she was not weak, my Lord, she lasted 14 days without one drop of water. Many of us who are healthy would not last one quarter of that time.

Without this book, you will be missing a great deal of the story on Terris life, the autopsy, as well as what really happened before, during, and after Terri was injured. The book is well written and what really went on in Terri's life will keep you glued to the pages. I am purchasing additional books for lawmakers in hopes of changing our country's guardianship laws. I would encourage everyone who reads it to do the same, if you want to stop seeing other innocent people like Terri sentenced to death. There are many more than Terri, every day, who die silently, with no one to speak for them. The hospice agenda of starving patients has gone out of control. Terri and others like her, are dying painful, horrible deaths, in rooms far away from Katie Courick, Matt Lauer or Larry King. They are dying with nurses and doctors standing by, ignoring the oath they took not to harm their patients. These are people who never agreed to such torture, and pain. People being starved, guilty of being disabled, and needing someone to bring the food and water to their mouth, to a straw or to a longer straw going into the stomach if their swallowing is affected. there is no difference. The Judge in Terris case (Greer) didnt mandate that she only have the tube taken out, he mandated that even if Terri could eat or drink sustenance by mouth, it would not be offered to her, by his decree. He made sure that police would be there to see that no one allowed Terri to even attempt to eat or drink on her own, regardless of testimony from numerous nurses that she could and did indeed eat on their shifts, jello, pudding and other soft or liquid foods. Instead, given that testimony from multiple sources, Greer made sure that no tests would be done on Terri to confirm whether or not she could eat by mouth! He mandated that Terri do nothing less than DIE. We dont starve murderers, it would be too cruel a death. However, for those with disabilities who can not speak, they are the ones who are forced to suffer that fate, by a Judge who never ever went to see Terri once in all the years that her case was in the courts. Bottom line, we need laws that insure food and water be given to any person without a clear written and signed directive. We need to make sure that men who move on and take another family do not get to decide whether hat happens to the woman they left behind. Every womens group that turned a deaf ear to Terri, should be totally ashamed. ACLU as well. The same Judge that was appointed to watch over Terris medical funds to make sure they were there for her, should not have been able to allow her husband to take them, and buy an expensive lawyer that he could not afford on his own with her medical care money! You will see the judicial misconduct in this case and it will make you scream! If the world knew what was in this book before Terri died, she would be alive right now! My gratitude to Ford and Craddock for such an excellent and much needed book.

Nancy Argenziano killed Terri.

And on a lighter note, presidential candidate MITT ROMNEY's favorite novel is Battleship Earth by L. Ron Hubbard. (basis of scientology religion). Mitt's getting lots of donations from Clearwater and Hollyweird I bet...He' pandering to Greer's best friends. Scientologists believe disabled people have no rights, only healthy people. It's like the T-4 program.

Are you as tired as I am of Naysayers acting as if the so-called dark horses can’t win.

Bill Clinton was only 2% in the polls in October of 1991, and it’s only May now so we have time.

I wish folks would pick a strong pro-life, conservative candidate, and start supporting him NOW.

From the NPR link you pinged to me, 8mmMauser (I know NPR doesn’t want a pro-life conservative, but I thought some of the stuff was interesting), this is another example how anything can happen:

“There was only slightly more suspense on the Republican side. In 2000, John McCain clobbered George W. Bush in the New Hampshire primary. But Bush restored order in the subsequent states and McCain was effectively out of the race on March 9, just after Super Tuesday. Four years earlier, GOP front-runner Bob Dole barely survived Iowa and he lost New Hampshire, both against Pat Buchanan. But, like Bush in 2000, Dole became the de facto nominee after the Super Tuesday primaries.”

There is an active thread on Scientology right now. I took a peek at it and a scientology member has been defending. The person sounds like she might be open enough to learn a thing or two.

Please note, this comes from the St. Petersburg Times, with perhaps just more than a hint of bias on all things Terri.

Forget abortion rights. The opinions Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani has now expressed on the right-to-die case of Terri Schiavo make him look both unprincipled and out of touch. That's a clumsy combination.

~Snip~

For Giuliani, though, his position seems to be a work in progress. In 2005, on the day after Schiavo died, he told the New York Post: "I think the right decision would have been to keep the feeding tube in."

Last month, in a visit to Pinellas, he went further, saying congressional intervention was "appropriate to make every effort to give her a chance to stay alive."

In last week's televised debate, though, Giuliani reversed field: "The family was in dispute. That's what we have courts for."

~Snip~

Giuliani was better prepared and more succinct in the debate. Then again, he took an opposing view. Either way, this isn't pretty.

To: All
A reminder: Although the media often would have us believe most decent people wanted innocent Terri put to death, little bits of reality leak out. Case in point...

But a big difference for many of the Republicans in the 2008 presidential field is that, unlike Reagan, who was an ideological conservative, the leading contenders lean more to the center. Mitt Romney, John McCain and Rudy Giuliani all strayed from GOP support for interceding in the case of Terri Schiavo, a brain-damaged Florida woman. And Giuliani went so far as to endorse a woman’s right to make a decision on whether to have an abortion.

These GOP candidates are certainly blazing new trails, but it’s unlikely that they’re ones that would please the Gipper.

New Crist Minstrals love-in...

FOR much of his political career Charlie Crist, the new Republican governor of Florida, was seen as a bit of a lightweight. With his tanned face and neat silver hair, he looked a standard-issue moderate conservative. But since his election last November he has impressed both the left and the right. A poll by Quinnipiac University in March found that 73% of Florida's voters, including 71% of Democrats, approve of the job he is doing. Amazingly, that is 11% better than the highest approval rating of his popular predecessor, Jeb Bush.

~Snip~

Mr Crist was elected after beating a more conservative Republican rival, Tom Gallagher, who was favoured by Jeb Bush and much of the Republican establishment. The right had reason to resent his independence. As state attorney-general he refused to intervene in the case of Terri Schiavo, a brain-damaged Florida woman who was allowed to die after her feeding tube was removed. And when George Bush flew to rally support for Republicans in Pensacola the day before the governor's election, Mr Crist declined to join the president, infuriating party leaders.

And speaking of Crist here is a thread by Princip. Conservative pinged by wagglebee on Crist and cristy critters..

TALLAHASSEE - Gov. Charlie Crist said Wednesday that he is ready to resume lethal injections after the prison system announced changes to its death penalty procedures.

Department of Corrections Secretary Jim McDonough made the changes - including enlarging the death chamber and increasing training - to avoid a repeat of the botched execution of Angel Diaz five months ago.

Wagglebee thread on Planned Barrenhood coverup...

Los Angeles, CA (LifeNews.com) -- More details are emerging in a case where a counselor at the UCLA student health center advised a pregnant student to have an abortion. The woman in the case, a pro-life student posing as a pregnant teenager, says Planned Parenthood attempted to advise her to disguise statutory rape. In an undercover investigative story for a student-run newspaper, UCLA student Lila Rose posed as a pregnant 15 year-old and entered a Santa Monica Planned Parenthood.

She told officials there that a 23 year old man had impregnated her and her article in The Advocate newspaper says PP staff assured Rose that if she said she was 16 or older, they wouldn't have to report the rape.

"Rudy, Don't Take Your Love To Town". There, how's that for a song to remember today?? Wagglebee thread on Rudy.

It is always beyond my limited capacities of human understanding to psychoanalyze the people who think they should be president. But Rudy…that guy really has me baffled. Now mind you, what follows comes from someone who really likes Rudy. Still. In case you haven’t heard, Rudy’s latest campaign tack is to be pro-choice and proud. He’s going to embrace Roe v. Wade and tell the Republican electorate to “love me or leave me.”

Re: scientology. There is freedom of religion and here's the big but. I have freedom to believe my religion and find their's to be science fiction. It's on their web sites that healthy people have rights.

They do audit people, find out everything about them and what are the chances the files they keep on people are available for all kinds of uses?

Besides, Tom Cruise makes me sick. As a person, John Travolta is okay but Tom Cruise is an ego-maniac and a control freak. Cruise's smile is very creepy. They all fly in to Clearwater HQ all the time.

There is no downtown Clwtr except for them and they are conveniently located by the courthouse and the politicians and judges have embraced L. Ron's followers. Many identified it as a cult years ago.

Finally, REMEMBER LISA MACPHERSON, starved and dehydrated at the HQ. There's a lot re: Lisa MacPherson on line... She's dead and the scientology attorney presented

http://www.judgegeorgegreer.com with one of his first awards for killing Terri.

I guess they leave celeb women alone and only have a problem with vulnerable women.

IMO

On another note, GEORGE SOROS is in the news again. Bill O'Reilly is painting him as a threat. O'Reilly is a litte late. We've been talking about Soros for 2 to 3 years over here. He's a threat by starting moveon.org and he's a major euthanasiast. His money helped killed Terri.

The culture of death is here. Many factions belong including our governor and his democrat underlings.

It's a dream come true for the above that the courts can decide who, how and when to murder.

Ping to a Jim Robinson thread on Rudy. Thanks, narses.

Now, with Rudolph W. Giuliani one of the front-runners for the Republican nomination, the question inevitably arises: Is the party moving on this issue, ready for more flexibility? Can a supporter of abortion rights, even one with caveats and qualifications, make it to the top of the Republican Party in 2008?

Can the G.O.P. Accept Giuliani’s Abortion Stance?

>> In Mitt's case, to get the GOP presidential nomination, it is an absolute must.

I wish. It has always been so in the past. But Rudy seems to be challenging the party's view head-on this time. The soul of the Republican Party is up for grabs.

Jim Robinson is right. If Rudy wins, it will destroy whatever is left of the GOP and with it, any systematic resistance to totalitarianism.
