Recently I had the great pleasure to listen to Dr. Stanley Monteith interview William Federer on his informative talk show, Radio Liberty. It's always a pleasure to listen to Dr. Monteith and his interviews (some of the best on radio), but this one particular interview was very troubling and difficult to listen to - to say the least - for the subject matter of this program was the murder of Terri Shiavo, one of the saddest chapters in recent American history.

And I do mean murder. Even though we were told in the media that this was an example of someone's "right to die," it was not that at all. It was cold-blooded murder - played out on television right before our eyes. As Dr. Norman Livergood recently pointed out in his excellent article about using philosophy to counteract propaganda, we need to start using the appropriate names for things. This was murder - plain and simple - and calling it anything other than that by attaching a false name to it is nothing less than a damnable lie!

Another damnable lie we were told on the television and yet another example of the deliberate misuse of language for propaganda purposes was this utterly false notion hoisted upon the American populace by the media that Terri was in a "persistent vegetative state." William Federer in his provocative interview makes it perfectly clear, by recounting the testimony of eye-witnesses to this tragedy, that Terri was in fact highly responsive to her environment and even tried to articulate words to her mother. And this was termed a persistent "vegetative" state? Clearly we've been lied to, and I, for one, am outraged about it!

There were so many other atrocities revealed in this interview that should also ignite the fire of burning indignation: like how Terri was deprived of water, and made to suffer a horrible death from dehydration, while the plant in the vase on the table beside her was carefully watered so that it wouldn't wilt and die. This is a cruelty that we're loathe to inflict on lowly animals - and even on plants! - and yet we as a nation stood by idly and allowed this to happen to a defenseless young woman.

It's heart wrenching to hear the account of how Terri's mother cried and held Terri's head in her arms while Terri cried also - with her skin cracking from lack of water and her mouth totally dry - and how Terri's mother could no longer bear it and ran out of the room never to see her daughter again. This was her child! It's almost more than I can bear just to sit here and write this! What a shameful nation of despicable COWARDS we ALL have become to allow something this horrible to happen in America!

But the most shameful thing of all in regard to this tragedy, and what struck me the most while listening to this interview, was the account of the police officers in Terri's death chamber. Standing around her bed, they kept a close watch on her - not to serve and to protect her, not to keep her from harm, not to act in the manner that we ordinarily think that police officers should - no! Their purpose was to keep a close watch on everyone else in the room and to make sure that no one there gave Terri even one single drop of life-giving water! The plant in the vase on the table could receive water, but Terri, lying helpless on her death bed, could not!

Why would these supposedly upstanding police officers act in a way that is totally contrary to their tradition of service and protection? The answer is simple, and here we are getting to the crux of this article.

These police officers were SELL-OUTS! They sold their souls for what amounted to a few pieces of silver. Like the Nazis before them in Hitler Germany, instead of doing what's right and standing on PRINCIPLE, they just "followed orders" - the inhuman orders to KILL Terri Shiavo. What a pathetic street gang of unprincipled cowards! What a DISGRACE they are to every other police officer in America, and especially to those who are still trying to do what's right! Why do we as Americans put up with such demons?

If these death-dealing police officers attending to Terri had acted in integrity and refused to carry out their Nazi-like orders (to see to it that a defenseless young woman was deprived of life-giving water), they undoubtedly would have been dismissed from the police force and would have lost every one of their precious retirement pensions.

But think what they would have GAINED by doing what's right, and what we as a nation would have gained as well. Think of what would have happened if their replacement officers had also acted in integrity and likewise refused to carry out these despicable death orders. And then their replacements after them, and then THEIR replacements, and so on, and so on. Terri would still be alive today. And EVIL would not have its way in our world!

There are so many other examples of "selling out" in this screwed-up world of ours that I could sit here and write a thousand such articles. There are the chemtrail pilots spreading God-knows-what in our atmosphere and marring our once-beautiful blue skies with their filthy pollution. How I wish they would all stand on PRINCIPLE and refuse to fly their disgusting missions! so that their squadrons of chemtrail planes would forever be grounded! and our skies could once again be beautiful as they once were!

There are the drug company representatives - young men and women paid by pharmaceutical companies to go around to doctors' offices promoting high-dollar drugs that are unnecessary at best and often quite deadly. How I wish these drug reps would give some thought to the wrong they are doing - about how people are actually being harmed and killed by some of these drugs - instead of only thinking about themselves and their petty little paychecks!

There are the power-mad and self-serving politicians in Washington who are sacrificing our nation on the alter of globalism - who have sold out to the globalists, and are now presiding over the systematic dismantling of America - through illegal immigration, deindustrialization, job outsourcing, and the inexorable lowering of our standard of living. How I wish our leaders would again stand on PRINCIPLE and restore our ailing nation to its former greatness!

There are our young men and women in the military, who are waging an unjust war of occupation on the people of Iraq. How I wish that they would all somehow find the courage - first to face up to the truth of what evil they're serving - and then to find the even greater courage to refuse to participate in the service of evil! I'm reminded of a slogan once spoken in the '60s: "Suppose they gave a war and nobody came!"

And to cite one final example in this long litany of sell-outs, there are the MEDIA WHORES in our corporate news networks, who can talk for hours about someone like Michael Jackson, but who are scared to report the truth about September 11.

The fact that 9-11, for example, was an inside job, carried out by a criminal cabal within our own sorry government is the news story of the century! But this stupendous news story, the story of the century, is never once reported in the mainstream media - because if reporters were to do so, they would lose their jobs. It is a taboo subject for mainstream reporters and strictly forbidden in the corporate media. Because of their cowardice, lack of principle, and silence on this issue, the public is kept in a state of perpetual ignorance and slumber, there is no public outrage, and corruption and evil reign supreme in our country.

Think about it. If the media were honest and had been doing its job as it's supposed to, its job of reporting the unvarnished TRUTH about 9-11, the perpetrators could never have gotten away with their crime, and the subsequent illegal and unjust wars that ensued as a result of September 11 could never have occurred, and those deaths of our soldiers would never have happened! The reason all this mayhem DID in fact happen was because of those in the media who were willing to SELL OUT!

That's why selling out is the absolute WORST thing that anyone in the media - whether mainstream or alternative - can do to us, and why it's so very serious when someone like Jack Blood reportedly states that he WOULD sell out. Selling out is the root cause of all our world's evil.

Say what you like about Victor and Lisa, but this is what I have to say about both of them:

Victor and Lisa would NEVER sell out, and will always remain true to their principles - even as others in the so-called alternative media are faltering around them! They will be pointing out wrongdoing wherever they see it, and attempting to hold EVERYONE accountable, regardless of their position, something that John Kaminski and others would do well to remember.

We should also remember that all that's required to transform our world into an earthly paradise is for good men and women to stand firm on principle - like Victor and Lisa - and to never give in to this pervasive temptation to sell out integrity for a few pieces of silver.

I once said it this way in an email I wrote them while Terri was in the process of being tortured and murdered:

"Let's also say a special prayer tonight for Terri Shiavo. That poor woman is probably as aware of what is going on around her as you or I, and is simply unable to communicate with others. It's utterly reprehensible that there are laws prohibiting starving dogs and horses to death - and people have gone to jail for it - but it has become acceptable now in our hellish society to starve to death a defenseless human being.

"And what is even worse than death by starvation is the torturous death from dehydration. This is what will actually kill her if this Nazi madness is allowed to continue. She could probably survive for well over a month from lack of food, but only for a few days from lack of water.

"And the agony which results from this can only be described as a brutal form of TORTURE, reminiscent of the Spanish Inquisition, no less. This is even WORSE than what the Nazis did, for at least the Nazis dispatched their "undesirables" in a far less protracted and gruesome a manner.

"With that said, I'd like to thank you for sending out to me those books that I ordered and for the kind words that you wrote that were included in the package. You said in your last email that "this is hell," but I want you to know that if everyone on this earth was like you and Victor, this world could be transformed from hell to heaven."
