Scientology, The Clearwater Bar Association, and Judge Greer

Judge George W. Greer presides over Florida's Sixth Judicial Circuit Court. He is known internationally for the Terri Schindler Schiavo guardianship case. Pat Anderson, former attorney for the Schindlers, characterized Judge Greer's unprecedented rulings as "The Rule of Terri's Case."

The Clearwater Bar Association is delighted with Judge Greer's performance in this particular case. They presented the John U. Bird award to the Pinellas-Pasco Circuit judge on May 15, 2004. This prestigious award, which is the Clearwater bar's highest honor for a judge, was granted to Judge Greer for the way he has handled himself while overseeing the Terri Schiavo case!

Robert Dickinson III, the outgoing president of the Clearwater Bar Association, cited Judge Greer's handling of the Terri Schiavo case in terms of "passing the test":

"Rarely is a person's mettle and faith tested in such a strenuous and public way as this gentleman's has been over the last few years," Robert Dickinson III said. "Rarely do mortals pass the test with such flying colors."

(Quote source: Lawyers laud judge in Schiavo case) [bold emphasis added]

I find these words rather ominous when I reflect on "the test" Judge Greer has been passing—all these years. Judge Greer's consistent practice of upholding Scientology doctrines over and above Florida law is being lauded by the Clearwater Bar Association! The "test" Robert Dickenson III is alluding to is the "test case." The euthanasia test case.

Greer is "passing the test" with flying colors because he is permitting Michael Schiavo to abuse, exploit and neglect his disabled wife in defiance of the Florida statues. And the Clearwater Bar Association cheers.

Scientology attorney Wally Pope—who represented his "church" in the Lisa McPherson case—was the individual selected to bestow this high honor on Judge Greer! Wally cited high ideals, personal character, and judicial competence:

"Yet, in the teeth of all that, he has steadfastly demonstrated exactly what the John U. Bird award was created to honor: high ideals, personal character, judicial competence and service," lawyer Wally Pope said before bestowing the honor.

(Quote source: Lawyers laud judge in Schiavo case) [bold emphasis added]

The "judicial competence" that Judge Greer has exhibited in his handling of the Terri Schiavo case is clearly the kind that ignores evidence and even Florida statutes in order to uphold Scientology doctrine—which requires the deletion of "social contagions" (the disabled) from society. It is no coincidence that a Scientology attorney—who was a lead attorney in the Lisa McPherson case—personally bestowed this award to Judge Greer. Greer's decisions to consistently rule in favor of terminating a disabled person do reflect high ideals—in the sight of Scientology.

Lies to Make Terri Schiavo Fit the Scientology Mold

One of Scientology's major goals is to change society's views about death, dying, and those L. Ron Hubbard considered to be "past the half-way point": the disabled.

Scientologists believe (1) that a disabled person is in such a state due to his or her own failings, (2) the disabled person will deliberately move in the direction of death, and (3) disabled people (Individuals who score low on the emotional tone scale) will also bring death to those around them. (See L. Ron Hubbard's book, Self Analysis, chapter 4)

Scientology teaches that if a person is disabled it is his or her fault. Terri has been falsely represented as being disabled due to self-induced vomiting which supposedly caused a potassium imbalance that resulted in a cardiac arrest. Medical records have disproved these claims, but these "facts" were presented in the court record and are still being promulgated via the media today. The truth is that Terri suffered serious injuries, (including a head and neck injury and numerous broken bones). An exceptionally competent neurologist testified (that Michael Schiavo's attorneys predictably attempted to discredit) stated that Terri's injuries are consistent with strangulation:

Dr. William Hammesfahr, Nobel prize nominee and neurologist, testified that Terri's neck injuries are consistent with only one type of injury: that of strangulation.

(Quote source: State-Funded Agency to Probe Claim of Spousal Abuse in Terri Schiavo Case)

The only person in the apartment with Terri at the time of her collapse was her husband, Michael Schiavo.

Scientology teaches that a disabled person will move in the direction of death. Terri has been illegally denied therapy for over ten years for the purpose of causing her abilities and health to deteriorate. She has also been placed in hospice facilities—and denied any stimulation— rather than in a nursing home. This was done to create the illusion that Terri is moving in the direction of death. According to L. Ron Hubbard's doctrines, a disabled person wants to die. Michael Schiavo never misses an opportunity to state that death is "Terri's wish." This is not true. Terri wants to live so much that she exerts tremendous effort to demonstrate her abilities.

Scientology teaches that disabled persons (Individuals who score low on the tone scale) will also bring death to those around them. Michael is so worried that Terri will bring "death" to him (accusations of attempted murder?) that he refuses to allow her to have speech therapy—or any therapy. Of course Michael's power to keep Terri in a state of disability is contingent upon Judge Greer's continued collusion with the Scientology agenda, which is not in accordance with Florida laws.

The Clearwater Bar Association: Cozy with Scientology

Mike Faehner, who was president-elect of the Clearwater Bar Association in 2001, endorsed the Johnson Blakely Pope Bokor Ruppel & Burns PA. firm:

"In the legal community, they have a good reputation," said Mike Faehner, president-elect of the Clearwater Bar Association. "They do quite a bit of legal educational outreach. They're a solid law firm."

(Quote source: Clearwater firm breaks from standing tradition)

This firm brings in a lot of money by litigating for the "Church" of Scientology:

Their clients include parents involved in a baby swap, a woman who was not allowed to dress after she was arrested for skinny-dipping, the controversial Church of Scientology and developers who have changed the landscape of Clearwater.

(Quote source: Clearwater firm breaks from standing tradition) [bold emphasis added]

It is probable that Scientology attorneys are on the board and/or are officers of the Clearwater Bar Association! Mike Faehner said:

Many Johnson Blakely lawyers have been board members or officers in the association. The firm also sponsors bar activities, he said.

It is becoming increasingly clear that the Clearwater Bar Association is on cozy terms with the "Church" of Scientology. They choose to have their monthly meetings at the Fort Harrison Hotel—Scientology headquarters. (See: Res Ipsa Loquitur) The Clearwater bar gladly endorses firms that litigate for Scientology. They even chose a Scientology attorney to present an award to Judge Greer for "passing the test" in the way he handled the Terri Schiavo case.

Scientology For Euthanasia; Florida Law Against it

Wally Pope represented the "Church" of Scientology in the wrongful death suit filed by the Estate of Lisa McPherson. He fought to enable Scientology to completely get away with dehydrating Lisa McPherson to death. They did not succeed. They settled with the Lisa McPherson Trust!

Judge Greer's rulings have enabled Michael Schiavo (working on behalf of the Scientology agenda) to almost get away with dehydrating Terri Schiavo to death. The only reason this did not happen is because many Americans—once they saw the videos of Terri that Mr. Schindler bravely released to the media—made it known they would not stand for such evil in our society.

It is time to take a stand against this barbarism once again. Disabled citizens of the United States of America (including Terri Schindler Schiavo of Clearwater, Florida) must not be denied therapy and even life itself due to L. Ron Hubbard's disgust over the fact that a decent society takes care of its own:

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)

May the Lord Jesus Christ be glorified as his people "hear his voice" concerning this matter and follow him.

better add "ugly" to the list, "stupid" , and in the end "all who are not like me" , lol

[flaglady47]

"Better add depression to that list."

In case you didn't notice in your own example, Joe hanged himself; someone else didn't do it for him. Why don't you stretch a bit farther to try to make a point. I'm sure you've got it in you.

[flaglady47]

"I wouldn't want you doing it"

Likewise, I'm sure.

[D Edmund Joaquin]

lol, too funny, because you'd be in luck: I believe that only God can give, and take life

[flaglady47]

'Yes, we're emotional, it's called "love".'

In the Schiavo case, your "love" verges on hate. How else could you keep a body in a vegetative state for 15 years. It's sick.

[Badray]

Just what flag are you waving?

The Jolly Roger, I suspect.

[MarMema]

I had forgotten that you require more explanation than most....do forgive me.

The point was that Ronald Cranford said the hanging was a rational suicide since he wasn't going to get any better.

[D Edmund Joaquin]

everywhere I go, I act like a lightning rod for your kind of posts, so in the interests of harmony and in not ruining the moderator;s sunday afternoon, I'll bid you adieu.

[flaglady47]

"The vegetative state needs considerable skill to diagnose, requiring assessment over a period of time;"

What, her being PVS for 15 years isn't long enough to make a diagnosis? Has she ever come out of her PVS? No, not for 15 years. Of course, you don't believe she is in a PVS, so there's no point arguing this.

[tertiary01]

Florida is still too dangerous to even drive through, much less visit for vacation or plan to live there.

I agree, I will never visit the state until they get their act together. I am trying to boycott all their products, too. Since I live in California, it makes it quite easy.

[tertiary01]

Terri has shown all of the world her determination to live, by overcoming all the neglect and abuse heaped on her by her "well-meaning" husband and his George Soros financed friends.

Here's an informative website, just scroll down to Terri's article.

"everywhere I go, I act like a lightning rod for your kind of posts,"

Sorry to ruin your martyrdom, but I'm getting off also. Adieu, mon frere.

[flaglady47]

I had forgotten that you require more explanation than most....do forgive me.

Your forgiven. Inaccurate, but forgiven. Who cares what Ronal Cranford said. That's his opinion about something that SOMEONE ELSE did, not Cranford's actions. Your argument, if there is one, is apples and oranges, and unless you are really not a very intelligent person, you would see this. But then again.....

[D Edmund Joaquin]

lol, shucks, and I was jus going to rename myself, ST. D Edmund

[pickyourpoison]

Thanks...good link

[MarMema]

Dr. Ronald Cranford is the leading bioethics physician in this country. Many believe he founded the field of bioethics. He has testified for death in every single case of dehydration which went to court, to the best of my knowledge.

He is sometimes called "the father of bioethics".

[rdcorso]

It looks like the judge is acting in a manner that will improve his standing when his time comes to enter the mother ship.He must have enjoyed the L Ron Hubbard book called Dire-Derelicts.The judge should shut his mouth until he stops speaking out of his ass.

[Coleus]

Scientology and Terri Schiavo, Is there a Connection?

[MarMema]

From the same link..on those misdiagnosed PVS patients.

"Andrews noted that all of the misdiagnosed patients were severely disabled; 65% were either blind or profoundly visually impaired.....Other study patients had significant motor impairments. One such patient had severe joint contractures requiring surgical release and physical therapy before he was able to sit properly."

"All 17 misdiagnosed patients were found to range in cognitive ability from level 5 (aware but severely impaired) to level 8 (nearly normal) on the Rancho Los Amigos scale."

In a BMJ editorial, Minneapolis neurologist Ronald Cranford pointed out that the quality of life of the 17 misdiagnosed patients was still questionable. "I would speculate," Cranford wrote, "that most people would find this condition far more horrifying than the vegetative state itself, and some might think it an even stronger reason for stopping treatment" (i.e., food and fluids).

[longtermmemmory]

The Clearwater Bar Association is a VOLUNTARY bar. Lawyers and Judges need only belong to the state bar. Most of these voluntary bars are exercises in Cliques and can easily succumb to logan political haggling.

In many if not most cases, a voluntary Bar is about as irrelevant as the ABA. (or the Oscars depending on your reference).

You will NEVER catch a voluntary bar condemning a judge. (no matter how insane or kooky the behavior.) They will praise a judge even if they have to create fluff that means nothing.
