Did 'revoked' living willkill communicative man?
WorldNetDaily ^ | November 4, 2005 | Diana Lynne

Family members are investigating what they consider to be suspicious circumstances surrounding the death of a nursing home patient at the center of a life and death tug-of-war reminiscent of the Terri Schiavo tragedy.

Seventy-nine-year-old Jimmy Chambers died in the early morning hours of Oct. 24 after the tracheotomy tubes that deliver oxygen from a ventilator to a hole in his neck became unhooked. Family members were told Chambers, a resident of the Anne Maria Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in North Augusta, S.C., apparently pulled the interlocking tubes apart.

"We're having it investigated. We're just incredulous," Chambers' daughter, Deanna Potter, told WND in reference to her siblings. "The last time I saw dad he was blowing me a kiss. I blew him one and he blew one back."

The retired dispatcher for Holland Motor Express died approximately 10 hours later. His death certificate indicates he died of "natural causes."

"Apparently, suffocation is a 'natural cause' when you're on a ventilator. We're contesting that," said Potter. "He suffocated. He didn't just pass away. He struggled and fought. And I'm just so angry."

Potter estimates it would have taken 10 to 14 minutes for her father, deprived of oxygen, to fall unconscious, and questions why the nursing home staff didn't come to his aid.

"The oxygen-saturation meter and his ventilator both would have had alarms going off. Four-thirty, five o'clock in the morning you'd think someone would hear this," she added. "That's the thing that really bothers me and makes me suspicious."

I'd almost think you were the same person using two different screen names.

The baseless notion that there might have been a mystery intruder takes all the heat off. ...If you want to go that way, FIRST find facts to support the theory. Otherwise it's a fairy tale, and imo, a destructive one.

If an intruder story takes the heat off Michael, Felos would have mentioned it.

My guess... the story puts more heat on Michael.

From North Country Gazette, on the feature in Time Magazine:

Excerpt

Time senior writer Jeffrey Kluger penned the memoriam, "Resting in peace-at long last", a typical display of the mainstream media bias and distortion of facts that permeated the Schiavo case and contributed to her death.

Not Dead Yet folks are back.

Excerpt

“We fought an uphill battle to be heard all year,” said Drake. “The media – whether it’s Fox News or the New York Times – frames these stories as part of the so-called ‘culture wars.’ There was little room for liberal disability rights groups with an anti-euthanasia perspective in that framework. It was even more tragic in the case of Terri Schiavo. I would bet most people knew where Howard Dean and Tom Delay stood on the issue, but were unaware that 26 national disability groups opposed the removal of her feeding tube.”

I read on one of the links that their version of the cross is a crossed out cross. I always wondered about that.

I just did a google and here is what I found! Some strong opinions:

Check out the front cover of Schiavo's new book:

The wording on the cover is:

"A religious zealot offered $250,000 to anyone would would kill me"

"I was insulted by the President, the leaders of the House and Senate, the governor of Virginia, the Pope, and the right wing media."

"My two babies were threatened with death."

"All this told, I remained silent and steadfast."

"There is alot you don't know about how beautiful and vibrant Terri was. And there is alot you don't know about what happened."

"In these pages, you will find both."

A lot of "bio" with not much ethics.

The press made sure there wasn't any heat on Michael. Felos never had to reach for an alibi.

>> the story puts more heat on Michael

Sorry, I can't see any reason it would. On the contrary, it is paltering with the truth. This is always destructive. The first effect of doing it would be to turn serious critics into loonies and Grassy Knoll theorists.

No, thanks.

Schiavo's book: "A religious zealot offered $250,000 to anyone would would kill me"

prove it!

Schiavo's book: "I was insulted by the President, the leaders of the House and Senate, the governor of Virginia, the Pope, and the right wing media."

Waah, waaaaah, waaah...

Schiavo's book: "My two babies were threatened with death."

Again, prove it!

Schiavo's book: "All this told, I remained silent and steadfast."

Because you were muzzled by your attorney, George Felos

Schiavo's book: "There is alot you don't know about how beautiful and vibrant Terri was. And there is alot you don't know about what happened."

because you kept Terri caged like an animal

Schiavo's book: "In these pages, you will find both."

Your version of the "truth"

I'm sorry to disappoint any resident scientologists, but REAL Nazis looked and acted a heckuva lot more manly than this pathetic poseur.

Small change compared to what you paid to kill Terri.

"Did you see Terri and her mom's picture in Sunday's Parade Magazine?"

No, unfortunately, the paper here has USA Weekend instead of Parade.

YUCK, I want to vomit. I seriously doubt Schiavo's book will do well. To many people hate him, including me!

"US AG Janet Reno set up spy network against pro-lifers back in the day. Article also mentions WACO and the ACLU."

Who can forget Janet Nero from Florida? I wonder how many remember that flyer her DOJ sent out to law enforcement on telltale signs that someone might be a terrorist or "anti-government extremist"? Things like - contributing to religious causes, emphasizing the Constitution especially the 2nd amendment , attending midweek prayer meeting or Bible study, homeschooling, belief in Biblical prophecy, or (my favorite) having a fish symbol on your car.

Now imagine Jackboot Janet with today's new legal tools. Before passing any law, legislators should always think what it would be like if their worst enemy had the power to enforce it at a whim.
