The War on Health; and the Detriments of Martial Law

It must never be lost on us that we are engaged in a spiritual war, where a lot of the players are on earth and are inclusive of human cohorts that function to execute the agenda of spiritual principalities – especially because these adversaries are unrelenting, despite the many losses they endure – courtesy of the Church of Jesus Christ. In fact, the Scriptures teach us in Ephesians 6:12, that “…we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
And well, with the commencement of the Your Loveworld Specials Season 10 Phase 2 with the President of Loveworld Incorporated, the highly esteemed Rev. Dr Chris Oyakhilome DSc. DSc. DD., yesterday, the 11th of December, we were once again taught of the importance of taking our stand as watchers and restrainers sanctioned by God Almighty.
THE WAR ON HEALTH: WHEN DOCTORS INTENTIONALLY HARM PATIENTS
We have discussed here on LN24 many issues that emanate from the medical and pharmaceutical industries – including the harmful medication from big pharma, to doctors being bought by pharmaceutical companies to prescribe drugs or procedures that are harmful to patients. But one issue from the medical industry that is difficult for many to come to grips with is when doctors intentionally harm patients, outside of sinister motivations from the industry. There are a number of reasons society has a difficult time acknowledging that this happens: in part, it is based on the idea that being a medical practitioner is incredibly time intensive, and so the general perception is that people who are in this industry are in it due to passion to care for those who require medical assistance. In addition, doctors (as people who are supposed to make others well) have generally been given a presumption of good intent for the longest time.
But, history and even developments in the status quo provide a sharp rebuttal to these assumptions. And the President of Loveworld Incorporated, especially makes this apparent to us during Day 1 of the Your Loveworld Specials through the documentary titled ‘Sickened to Death’. In this documentary, the President highlights the critical truth that there is nothing natural about sickness, and that the emergence of sickness can be traced back to Genesis Chapter 3, and since the fall of men, there was a corruption of creation – including the entrance of sickness and disease.
The second and last Adam, being Jesus Christ, brought us divine health, and therefore the end of sickness. However, we are still seeing so much today that brings into question the medical industry; and the realisation that it was never there to make people well! In fact, most doctors are doing things that are against the hippocratic oath (or at least the original one, and not the modified version that was inspired by the pharmaceutical lobby).
For instance, you would have heard of Dr Death. More specifically, Christopher Daniel Duntsch is a former American neurosurgeon who has been nicknamed Dr. D. and Dr. Death for 33 incidents of gross neuro-surgical malpractice while working at hospitals in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, which maimed 31 patients and caused 2 deaths. But, here what makes this a concerning systemic issue, and not an isolated case: Dr Death was accused of injuring 33 out of 38 patients in less than two years – BUT, this was a track record so unlikely that hospital administrators and district attorneys simply felt that it was too unbelievable to be true, AND THEN ALLOWED Dr Duntsch to continue to practice before his license was finally revoked by the Texas Medical Board, and to avoid prosecution for years. Then, in 2017, Dr Duntsch was eventually convicted of maiming ONLY ONE of his patients and sentenced to life imprisonment. This is to say that not only did Dr Duntsch (AKA Dr Death maim and kill patients, but the medical industry simply thought the issue was unlikely, and allowed him to practice. Then when he was eventually convicted, it was for maiming only one of his patients – this is a systemic lack of accountability for doctors in the medical industry.
THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY ALSO CREATED DOCTORS WHO KILL
But, and as alluded to earlier, the pharmaceutical industry is also culpable in the creation of this problem of doctors who kill. For instance, chemotherapy is literal poison that destroys cells indiscriminately, with its consequences mostly being experimental – so much so that 97% of the time, chemotherapy actually does not work to kill cancerous cells – while destroying other cells in the body, and thus causing more harm to the patient! But, despite this, chemotherapy is almost always what is prescribed to patients with cancer. So, why would doctors do this – why would they prescribe an intervention that does not work 97% of the time?
Well, a doctor blew the whistle, and exposed that it is for one reason , and the reason is financial greed. In particular, he explains that if you go to a medical doctor, an MD, with a sinus infection, and that doctor prescribes an antibiotic, he gets no financial kickback. However, if he prescribes 5,000 products of that antibiotic in one month, the drug company that makes it might offer him an indirect remuneration, like sending him to a conference at a holiday destination. BUT, it is not this indirect with chemotherapeutic drugs. Chemotherapeutic drugs are the ONLY classification of drugs that the prescribing doctor gets a direct cut of. And so, if your doctor prescribes chemotherapy for you, he is able to get a monetary cut from the prescription. Here’s Dr Peter Glidden detailing this corruption.
THE DOCUMENTARY ‘SICKENED TO DEATH’ EXPOSES THE ORIGINS OF EUTHANASIA
But, something interesting that stood out in this documentary is also the exposure of the sinister origins of euthanasia. You’d recall that when we had the discussion on euthanasia in previous days, looking also at the End of Life bill in the UK, we spoke concerning the fact that in various historical societies, and also in ancient Greece and Rome, euthanasia was not frowned upon by society. The elderly, the allegedly incurably ill or those tired of living could commit suicide, apply to be disposed of in a so-called “honourable” way or were subjected to eugenic practices and rites. Following this, the appreciation of all human life was a real progress introduced by Christianity – which we began to see in how the Master Jesus treated for instance people who had deformities or were lepers, in comparison to the people in His time.
This means that for a long time, euthanasia was then frowned upon in the backdrop of Christian values that emphasise the value and protection of life, and portray death (not as relief) but an enemy of God. But, in the absence of these Christian values, developments that were aimed at destroying life would begin to gain traction in the form of a gradual process. A catalyst takes place, the slow burn begins, and then a threshold is crossed, and suddenly the narrative changes. In this instance, the ‘Sickened to Death’ documentary tells us what the catalyst in euthanasia law was; and it was the modification of a hippocratic oath.
The old hippocratic oath included a clause that states that doctors are NOT allowed to administer harmful drugs or interventions even if the patient requested it (which is MAID or euthanasia). But, since  the1964 modified hippocratic oath, there was a new clause that says it may also be within the doctor’s power to take a life – [PAUSE] and there goes the catalyst before the slow burn! This new oath, which is treated as a law, essentially then became the socialisation agent (or catalyst) through which people were being systematically nudged and pre-conditioned to think that death at the hands of a doctor was no longer gross misconduct, which was then followed by efforts at legislation (which is what we would categorise as the slowburn in this case).
ROMANS 8:11 – THE CHURCH HAS A SELF-HEALING MECHANISM
So, what then is the solution, especially for people who have always regarded the medical and pharmaceutical industries as a means of getting healthcare. Well, if you listen to the message ‘An Understanding of the Gospel of Jesus Christ’ by the President of Loveworld Incorporated, which you can access of the Pastor Chris Digital Library App, which is found on the Loveworld App store, we learn that the Church has a self-healing mechanism – as a product of the divine life we receive in Christ. And the President taught us further regarding this in light of the Scripture in Romans 8:11 – including a strategy on how to put this word to work.
THE DETRIMENTS OF MARTIAL LAW: THE FAILED PLANS IN SOUTH KOREA
This then brings us to the second part of our discussion, and during day 1 of the Your Loveworld Specials Season 10 Phase 2, the President of loveworld Incorporated highlighted the problems associated with martial law, in light of the case in South Korea. In particular, On Tuesday night, at 23:00 local time President Yoon of South Korea made an unexpected address to the nation. He said he was imposing martial law to protect the country from “anti-state” forces that sympathised with North Korea. The embattled leader is in a deadlock over a budget bill, dogged by corruption scandals and investigations into his cabinet members.
Shortly after Yoon’s announcement, police lined the white metal gates outside the National Assembly building in the heart of Seoul, the building that the country’s tourism authorities have framed as “the symbol of Korean democracy”. The military then announced that all parliamentary activity was suspended under martial law. But neither that nor the heavy security presence stopped thousands from gathering in front of the assembly in concern and fury. Now, it is easy to forget that South Korea – now a vibrant democracy – had its last brush with authoritarianism in the not-too-distant past – it only emerged from military rule in 1987. Martial law was last imposed in 1979.
But, we have to appreciate why martial law is inherently detrimental and dangerous. Especially because martial law is a topic that has sparked much debate and controversy, where others have a concerning tendency to claim it may have its advantages in certain situations, like we saw in the COVID era and even in Ukraine, except, even these claimed advantages are almost always outweighed by harmful ramifications and the formation of authoritarian regimes.
In particular, one the most significant disadvantages of martial law is the suspension of civil liberties. Under martial law, the government can typically impose strict regulations and limitations on the rights of the citizens. This can include curfews, restrictions on free speech, press freedom and the suspension of habeas corpus (which is a written command requiring a person under arrest to be brought before a judge or into court, especially to secure the person’s release unless lawful grounds are shown for their detention). In extreme cases, individuals may even be subject to arbitrary arrest and detention without due process.
In addition, is the transfer of power from civilian authorities to the military. This can lead to a loss of trust in the government and a potential abuse of power by the military. In some cases, the military may use excessive force to maintain order, leading to human rights violations and civilian casualties. Furthermore, he economy can suffer due to the disruption of normal business operations and the imposition of strict regulations. Trade and commerce may be severely restricted, leading to a decline in economic activity and loss of livelihoods for many individuals.  These are just a few of the detriments of martial law, which contextualises the importance of this plan in South Korea having failed.
But, from the Your Loveworld SPecials and even the Global day of Prayer earlier this month of December, you understand that the failure of the martial law institution IN South Korea is not by happenstance: it is a direct outcome of the prayers of the Church of Jesus Christ.
