ZetaTalk: Government

his intervention was considered illegal. Then the US Congress got involved, creating a special law just for

Terri so the matter could get into federal courts. The federal judge then ruled to uphold the Florida

judges, a rush to appeal, twice, was denied, and a US Supreme Court denial followed. Meanwhile Jeb

Bush again tried to get the laws changed in Florida, just for Terri, but the Senate there denied that. Now

we hear that Jeb Bush intends to use state services to become guardian for Terri. What is really going on

here?

On the face of it, this seems to be an effort to save a woman’s life, but this is not what the argument is about. Using

the feelings of a distraught mother, who has convinced herself that her daughter is still within a body that has been

reduced to reflex actions only, there is another drama being played out.

If saving life were the issue, then why has intervention not occurred for the thousands of people dying in the US daily

for lack of health insurance? What of the children dying in their parents arms, in hospital parking lots, because they

are refused treatment by hospitals? Health insurance has been in the media, at the forefront of political debate, all

throughout the Clinton era and up until the present, with the Republicans firmly on the side of cost control and against

saving life. HMOs, a corporate entity supported by the Republicans in this endeavor, have routinely denied coverage

for treatments that would extend life. The high cost of medications has been supported by the Bush administration and

the Republican agenda because this is desired by pharmaceutical companies, again a Republican contributor. Where is

the right to life in this?

Looking just under the surface, one sees a battle between the branches of government, established to provide checks

and balances - the Executive, the Judicial, and the Congressional. Two other tests are currently in play, the effort to

outlaw gay marriage in the Constitution, as a Constitutional Amendment, and the drive to pour Social Security funds

into the Stock Market, an executive push that would require a modification of a Constitutional Amendment, an

approval unlikely to be granted by a reluctant Congress. Examine the thrust and parry in this sword play.

A governor, Jeb Bush, making an Executive Order, Terri’s Law, to supplant existing law, which failed despite

the emotional appear of an apparent effort to save a dying woman. Then demanding that his state Congress

change the law, which was denied. And finally attempting to use existing state law to remove her husband as

guardian and take her into the state’s social services. These attempts by a governor on what might be considered

a mission of mercy are in point of fact attempts to act as dictator.

A Florida state judicial process challenged on a clear cut case of law, repeated examinations of a woman without

a brain, basal and spinal reflex only remaining, as demonstrated on scans and physical examination by numerous

physicians. Endless attempts to get a ruling counter to law failed, all thrusts parried. Here the judicial check

where judges are elected, not appointed, was demonstrated. Despite what was essentially battering, the judicial

branch upheld the law.

An attempt to supplant state law by a new federal law, making an exception for a single individual, so as to

force the issue into federal jurisdiction under federal judges. While the entire world watched in astonishment, the

US Congress was devoting their weekend to this issue, as though it were the most important issue before this

body. A measure of sanity existed in the body of the Congress, despite the orders of its highly partisan

leadership and a President determined to support his brother, the Florida governor. Here, in the face of ridiculous

orders, to reinsert the feeding tube by federal fiat, congress refused to cooperate.

ZetaTalk: Terri Schiavo

Forced thus into federal court, the judicial inclination to support the law over political pressure from a President

stating he wanted to ‘ err on the side of life’, a federal judge, an appeals court in Atlanta already packed by

Republicans, and a Supreme Court dominated by Republicans refused to counter the law and a clear States

Rights issue. Here the judicial check where Appeals and Supreme Court justices are appointed for life stood

against pressure from the Executive and Congressional bodies.

Polls taken then reportedly showed that the American public, despite presentation of the brain dead woman on videos

showing her apparently responding to a loving whisper in the ear by her mother, were solidly behind application of the

law and the judicial process. Here the public, as an independent body weighing all issues - States Rights, Judicial

review, Executive intervention, Presidential opinion, and Congressional oversight - determined that the process they are

familiar with within the US as a Democracy, should stand. The public does not want a dictatorship, however benign or

in favor of ‘ erring on the side of life’ this might appear. The public does not want their Congress told to make

exceptions when ordered to do so by dictators. The public wants the rule of law, with its appeal process, upheld.

This not only does not bode well for the President’s Social Security press, where these funds are to be made available

to support the tottering Stock Market, it also does not bode well for future Martial Law plans, the real reason for these
