Lighthouse Daily – 11th August 2026…
Good day, fellow citizens and brothers and sisters in Christ,
Today’s update is about a 12-minute read.
In this update:
- How Do We Please God?
- Building the Battlefield: How Richard Thomas Founded the Hateful Anti-Lighthouse Subreddit
- The Global Establishment’s Efforts To Crush & Starve The Human Spirit
If you are new to our work at Lighthouse Global and want to know why the Establishment attacked us, click below to read a statement from our CEO and founder, Paul S. Waugh.
A Statement by Paul S. Waugh – Why Lighthouse Global is a Provably Observable Threat to The Top-Tier Establishment and Its Totalitarian Agenda and Why They Have Attacked Us in Order to Destroy. Click the + to expand and read the full explanation.
I have written this statement as a contextual precursor to all articles written in relation to the Establishment, BBC, agencies and mainstream media attacks on us.
It is critical that you understand the real underlying reason we were — and are — continually and increasingly attacked in order for us to be destroyed by their hand.
Here is a starting question…
Why would they spend five very long years (to date) and tens of millions of pounds attempting to destroy us?
SPOILER ALERT — I will tell you this, it’s not because we are this micro “cult” founded and run by a petty liar, mind-controller (like them) and non-criminal (like me).
Note: I would like to be clear that our main restraining force to getting the truth out to date is, has been and will be the extent, or lack of global public reach; something the BBC, mainstream media and agencies are working hard on behind the scenes to deny us (such reach) at all costs.
They cannot afford for us to expose and reveal them for who they really are, for what they have done and are doing.
They will never be trusted by the public ever again once they are fully exposed, in line with their diabolical modus operandi.
This is now about to change dramatically for the Glory of God and His Truth…
So why did the Establishment spend millions on attacking Lighthouse Global?
Well it certainly wasn’t because they were "exposing" this tiny micro entity (or "cult") called Lighthouse for all the laboriously false reasons they gave in their provably fake documentary.
A documentary with literally hundreds of falsehoods, lies and deceptions in it, which we will reveal comprehensively.
Here is the real reason why the Establishment spent so much time, effort and money on us...
They spent millions of pounds attempting to destroy the credibility of the people (us at Lighthouse) in order to obliterate the most ground-breaking human potential research ever.
This is totally in line with our plans to influence the building of millions of purpose-built, solution-orientated, problem-solving communities worldwide.
Secularly speaking, most of these purpose-built communities would not be formed under or initiated by Lighthouse (as this huge dark "sinister cult" - cue sinister BBC music...) but independently started and run.
Why?
So that people would not be as reliant on the state and the Establishment and so they could be in better control of our common problems.
Governments would be smaller and taxation a fraction of what it is now.
Here is the problem to the Establishment, especially those at the top tier... They do not want to relinquish control.
They want more.
How much more? Totalitarian levels of more.
They therefore desperately need to stop us.
Note: Additionally, many of these purpose-built communities would be started by us Christians, in line with our commission in Christ, and our obstacles to achieving the Kingdom's said aims and objectives etc.
When the Establishment realised this... they REALLY pulled out their big war chest and their collective big guns!
So what did they do?
They spent millions of pounds to prevent our research, findings and evidence being revealed publicly.
They simply could not afford to be exposed.
They spent millions of pounds and years of effort using huge multi-agency teams to try and destroy us.
They spent millions of pounds and put hundreds of people to work at huge risk to their reputation, credibility and existence.
Why?
As said, to do their absolute damnedest to destroy this Christian initiative of global purpose-directed community teachers and builders.
No… they were not using all these resources over the last five years to attempt to destroy a little micro “cult”. A supposed cult that was taking over a relative handful of people's lives (20 or so at the time)... apparently.
They were out to destroy our work because its potential to empower people’s lives threatened their very existence as a totalitarian-intentioned Establishment.
It threatened their power, position, their totalitarian-control agenda and their stranglehold on all resources and wealth.
Most of the Associates at Lighthouse have had little idea of the extent, breadth and depth of our research program. It had to be kept largely, almost extensively under the radar.
The Last Days: A Critical To-Do List
There is an entire series of books coming out on this and our proposals on what to do about it moving forward in Christ entitled;
“The Last Days: A Critical To-Do List: 22 years of Ground-breaking Research - Warning: Christian Interventions Needed Soon, Lest It Be Too Late”.
There will soon be a comprehensive write-up (ongoing) on this series starting in the next few weeks.
No matter how much they endeavour to destroy myself, Paul S. Waugh, with their lies — or even the truth (which would be an extreme change) — it does not and will not change the truth about the systemic strategies they use to drastically limit the masses, A.K.A. the non-elites.
Destroying us by smearing or otherwise will not change who they are and what they are doing.
It will not change the truth.
We will vindicate the truth by eliminating the false narrative between us (the people and the truth) that is being orchestrated by a corrupt media and its establishment.
We will soon be launching our new desperately needed organisation, Vindicate International, for this very purpose. We will correct the record one way or the other.
We will lobby and do the necessary advocacy work in relation to how correction of the record is implemented and most notably stymied at an implementation level by various regulatory organisations, like Ofcom and IPSO.
So attempting to destroy us at Lighthouse Global will not change the truth... or who hears it.
In fact, all this time, money and effort spent intending to destroy our work and our lives has just served to make their problem - and the consequences for their heinous actions against us - worse at an exponential level!
We are now seeing that they are slowly starting to realise this.... finally.
They still have a way to go, but they are getting there.
To attempt to ruin myself, Lighthouse Global and its Associates - or not - is to ruin themselves. They have done and intend to do terrible things to the global population.
The Establishment simply, by God’s own laws and principles, cannot TALK themselves out of what they have collectively ACTED themselves into!
In The Final Analysis...
When an Establishment organisation like the BBC needs to destroy someone or a group that are doing the right thing that is genuinely in the public interest (especially for the Glory of God), but against their overlord and elites’ ruinous agenda, they need to find a fabricated and contrived reason in the so-called public interest to do so.
They did this with their fake documentary “A Very British Cult”.
THEN THEY PROVABLY GOT ESTABLISHMENT AGENCIES AND CO-CONSPIRATORS TO GRANT IT FALSE CREDIBILITY.
This ultimately all comes imminently with two ruinous things for them:
- A terrible price in the medium and long term across the board.
- A very short timeline from here.
We are about to reveal our research with full evidence of how the establishment and its media have attempted to destroy us. All glory to our Lord, Saviour and Redeemer, Jesus Christ.
You are all in our prayers.
Yours sincerely,
Paul S. Waugh
1. Our Personal, Interpersonal & Global Commission from Christ: The Problems We Face and Solutions Needed
How Do We Please God?
“Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.” — 1 John 3:18
God loves us immensely, more than we could possibly appreciate in our fallen state.
Yet He, as God, does not need us to earn His favour. He loves us through His works, not primarily because of ours, and His gracious provision.
So how do we love Him? How do we please Him?
The video below explains what Jesus Christ shared with His followers in response to this very question.
As explained, He expressed the need for us to trust in Him. But what does that mean?
It means trusting His promises, learning and obeying His commandments, and seeking first His Kingdom and His righteousness.
Loving and trusting God flows into how we go about making decisions, what goals we set and where we focus our attention.
“For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.” — James 2:26
As the Apostle John also relayed in His first epistle (1 John 3:18), we love not with our words, but with deed and truth.
Therefore, to love and trust means to be focused on Truth; The Truth of God, revealed in Jesus Christ, witnessed by the Holy Spirit, and given in His Word. It is in stark contrast with being fixated on what pleases and gratifies us.
2. Targeted from Within: The Greatest Threats to the Body of Christ from Inside
Building the Battlefield: How Richard Thomas Founded the Hateful Anti-Lighthouse Subreddit
“But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice.” — James 3:14-16
Behind the deceptive facade of “public interest”, “warning others” and supposed whistleblowing, a digital infrastructure was being constructed through which Lighthouse Global, its people and eventually their families could be targeted publicly and repeatedly, which culminated in numerous death threats, suicide attempts and stalking of our children.
At the centre of that story was the creation of a dog-piling predatory anti-Lighthouse subreddit.
Contemporaneous records show that Richard Thomas was not merely someone who later discovered the anti-Lighthouse subreddit and joined the conversation. Instead, he was instrumental in establishing it by colluding with a convicted stalker, Jon Breen, alongside Joanne Holmes, his wife’s best friend and a former Lighthouse Associate-Elect.
Our records document the discussions surrounding the creation of the subreddit.
This vitriolic, vindictive, spiritually dark and degrading online forum would become one of the principal platforms used to launch murderous attacks on Paul S. Waugh, Lighthouse Global, its leadership, its people and, increasingly, their families.
Despite being asked by the police to take it down, foolishly Richard Thomas is still a moderator and was among its earliest contributors as a founding member no less.
There is a fundamental difference between independent healthy criticism (which this absolutely was not) and weaponising digital infrastructure through which a sustained criminal hate and smear campaign against identifiable people can develop.
The subreddit has now been largely dormant since we started naming the actual individuals behind the pseudonyms, informing their employers that they have been funding the anti-Lighthouse Reddites’ predatory behaviours, often during work hours.
Its last post appeared around a year ago.
How much did Richard Thomas’ involvement in Reddit have to do with his employer letting him go? We will be exploring that in further detail.
Remember, all of the identified predatory trolls were invited to the David vs Goliath showdown, and none of them turned up. They are Judas-like figures, operating from the shadows through cloak-and-dagger tactics rather than standing openly in the light.
They have and will turn on each other.
Richard Thomas turned on Jon Breen as soon as he realised that conspiring with a convicted stalker may pose grave consequences to him.
Dawn Ingram turned on Gareth Bourne to try and cover her own pernicious and murderous intentions by revealing his own vitriolic intent.
Their employers realised that if these anonymous predatory trolls can turn on us at Lighthouse Global, on people they once called brothers and sisters, then why wouldn’t they turn on them?
They have and will.
We guarantee you that Gareth Bourne doesn’t share all his anonymous Reddit posts on his CV, and neither does Richard Thomas.
For Lighthouse Global, that decline in anonymous predation exposes the increasingly weak position of these fake whistleblowers and predatory trolls.
Please prepare yourself for the depraved content in the post below. This is the dark spirit within those attacking Lighthouse Global. This is a tiny insight into what we have endured for over half a decade. This is the type of spirit that the BBC colludes with. The BBC Savile Syndrome, the spirit of Satan.
As you read the post below with its vile and obscene language, what’s key to remember is that the BBC actively promoted and encouraged this forum along with the people who contributed to it.
Worse than that… the BBC was scouring paedophile-infested Reddit to try and weave some dark fantasy docusoap.
In case you were wondering where they get some of their drivel from… it’s from anonymous online sadistic saddos.
NB: There has been zero criminality in relation to the work of Lighthouse and particularly anything financial. Hundreds of pages of evidence were submitted to the High Court in response to the Insolvency Services’ weaponised and false allegations against Lighthouse. There has not been one court case in relation to any financial wrongdoing at Lighthouse Global. Instead, what we see are malicious attempts to smear based on provably false allegations.
Evidently, the nature of what remains publicly visible reveals the vile and demonic nature of the subreddit itself.
It was always far more than a place where former members were supposedly “sharing their experiences”.
Predatory posts and comments with self-stated murderous intent targeted reputations, livelihoods, families and even children. Lighthouse Global has documented material it considers extremely threatening, abusive, degrading and deeply intrusive.
The fruits of this forum are the legacy that Richard Thomas has created for himself, which will follow him for the rest of his life.
We pray for his repentance.
Way beyond everything Mr Thomas has done to us, he and his dark cohort mock God, and the one and only ever living God of all will not be mocked!
Vengeance is for God alone.
3. Targeted from the Outside: How The Establishment Persecutes us Christians
The Global Establishment’s Efforts To Crush & Starve The Human Spirit
“for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.” — 2 Timothy 1:7
Tragically, so many Human beings are undeveloped and spiritually immature that Paul S. Waugh coined the term “spiritual anorexia” to represent the dire state of much of humanity when it comes to spiritual intelligence.
7) 24th June 2021 — Paul S. Waugh expresses the consequences of spiritual anorexia:
“The most common is spiritual anorexia: ruggedly individual, lacking the spiritual connection with living and life, lacking the spiritual connection with our earth, flora and fauna, in space time and beyond space time, lacking the interdependent reality of how they really and truly need to live in order to be whole and fulfilled. Most people are emotional, mental, spiritual anorexics, they become dependent, they become old infants, they become institutionalised, and infantilised because they are anorexic. You will not find an anorexic person capable of looking after themselves.”
This state of spiritual anorexia is, however, no accident and the consequences are devastating.
These trends are not random. From our research at Lighthouse Global, they reflect a wider systemic effort to edge spirituality — and particularly Christianity — out of culture, education, public life and human formation.
We see the result of this in the following societal trends:
- Spiritual & religious decline: According to the University of Oxford, a Global study uncovers a common three-stage sequence in religious decline.
- The sexualisation of children: An article by Humanium pulls together research on the intrusion of media sexualization in childhood.
- How materialism undermines our quality of life: MIT’s Tim Kasser has researched, studied and published The High Price of Materialism.
- Spiritual and existential emptiness: Leonard Kulisch’s global study shows declining societal religious norms are linked to rising youth anxiety across 70 countries.
The truth is that the top-tier Establishment sees Christianity and Christians as a threat. History has shown that Establishment secular authorities cannot exert totalitarian control over citizens when citizens are empowered by the Truth of God’s Word, follow Christ, are infused by the Holy Spirit, and serve God as the ultimate authority. Centuries ago, the Roman Empire sought to crush the early Church; yet Rome fell, and Christ’s Church remains two thousand years later.
It was when we at Lighthouse Global came to see the reality of Christ that the vitriolic attacks online, in the mainstream media and through government agencies started. This is no coincidence!
Tomorrow we will be continuing to explore more of what it means to love God with all our heart, the impact of the hate campaign towards Lighthouse Global on Reddit and how the top-tier Establishment is destroying our emotional intelligence.
Note: Given Paul’s longstanding ill health resulting from the multiple Establishment attacks on him, these daily updates are generated by the team, drawing from recent and older meetings and transcripts that Paul has shared with us. We ask for you to keep him in your prayers as he builds strength and renews in our Lord.
God bless,
Paul S. Waugh, Chris Nash and Shaun Cooper

How was that Reddit forum referred to in “A Very British Cult?” Yes, it was called “highly critical”. So… was Hitler “highly critical” of the Jews? Was Stalin “highly critical” of his own people he had killed? Were the Ku Klux Klan “highly critical” of black people? Because if that’s the case, phew, boy have I got my understanding of “highly critical wrong”, good old BBC can be trusted to provide a fair, totally impartial account of the record we can rely on… not.
Seriously, that post is disgusting. And the people behind the Reddit forum claim to be victims of Lighthouse Global and Paul S. Waugh?! The same Paul Waugh who is doing everything he can to help others build their divine personal relationship with Jesus Christ?!
Yea, just like I’m sure Pharoah was really the victim of millions of Jewish slaves who were led by their “cult leader” Moses. Excuse the sarcasm but the evil gets to a point where it’s just outrageously ridiculous.
Thank you for another power update. I’m appreciating how everyday Paul and the team are helping us all to get closer to Christ.
And Anti-Christ is the only way I can describe the post underneath. What a contrast in the heart and spirit.
What an absolutely vile message in the Reddit forum. Yet, while that’s one of the worst examples, it’s far from the exception when it comes to the profanity, nastiness and hatred that was shared by so many in that rotten hole of the internet. This is such a prime example of where humanity ends up and far far worse when they are spiritually starved. The more people and society walk away from God in their heads and their hearts, the more depraved, debauched and diabolical human thought and behaviour becomes and the worse people treat one another. That’s because we can’t truly love in and of ourselves without God, because He is love. He is the source of it and that’s part of what Christ is asking us to trust in! Thank you for a powerful post. God bless all who trust in and seek to love and obey Christ 🙏
Another really powerful and substantial update, thank you.
I really appreciated the first section, as it’s a question I think so many Christians wrestle with. But Christ says Himself that we must love Him with all our heart, mind, soul and strength, and love our neighbour as ourselves. That love is demonstrated through being totally reliant and dependent upon Him, so that He can work through us by the Holy Spirit.
The section on Richard Thomas and his involvement in the subreddit group just makes my skin crawl, and I feel quite ill from reading that post. He and those involved ought to be ashamed of themselves. As is stated here, we pray for their repentance, and ultimately, vengeance is not ours, but God’s.
Thank you very much, and God bless and be with us all. Amen. 🙏
The more I have taken even small steps of obedience, I have noticed incredible things happen. Our Father is so gracious that He wants the best for us if we only obey Him and please Him in accepting His Son, Christ our Lord and Saviour, to be Lord over our lives 🙏
Thank you for the clarity about the zero criminality in relation to Lighthouse and our work and anything financial. This is very revealing. No matter how much vitriol and lies were spewed about us, and it was foul, the truth have spoken for itself.
Another damning update when it comes to revealing the very nature of what the BBC is condemning, defending and encouraging through its attacks on us and our work at Lighthouse Global.
The BBC is condemning those who seek to pursue and live a Christian faith and it’s defending anonymous predatory trolling through Reddit with vile and abusive language. Simultaneously it’s encouraging the destruction of those seeking to empower citizens to establish purpose-built communities.
We have 22+ years of evidence to prove what we’ve been working on, the BBC has thousands of pages of stolen transcripts explaining our research and they couldn’t work this out.
Well done BBC for their “robust, accurate and fair” investigation that had a pre-determined outcome. They combined hateful hearsay with their stupidity and ignorance to create A Very British Cult.
Another powerful update. What was shared about spiritual anorexia really struck me because it describes what happens when we continually starve ourselves of the things that actually give life to our spirit. We can fill our minds with information, entertainment and distractions, but none of those things can replace a real relationship with God.
The more I understand this, the more I see how important it is to deliberately turn towards Christ, feed on His Word and allow Him to transform us from the inside out.
Reading about Richard Thomas on the other side shows how we lose touch with who we are when we are not connected to God and how this impacts our decision making. It’s shocking how he reacted and how he abused Reddit for his own benefits.
Thank you for another powerful reminder of what we truly need. 🙏
Perhaps that screenshot ought to have been censored for the vile language but in this instance I think it is important to see and understand the vile spirit in those attacking us. This kind of language was never denounced from what I saw. Those piling on to attack, like Richard Thomas who was in fact leading the charge, were spurned entirely through vicious hatred. I pray that they repent their language and intentions to destroy, and make things right.
Really touching understanding all God requires is we abide in his son, Jesus Christ, though my heart has suffered immense pain and allowing Christ in it work. For me this is the works of doing, allowing Him in, so I can love him with all my heart.
Seeing the vile communication of Richard Thomas doesn’t bode well for BBC, aligning themselves with this kind of satanic spirit, it just reveals how the BBC really are.
It is diabolical, the posts that Richard Thomas has enabled by starting the Reddit thread. When you encourage those without a conscience (or rather I should say, those who dismiss it, minimise it, drown it out with alcohol, food or another addiction, or desire) around a particular demonic aim, then you encourage behaviours you can not control and rifts will naturally appear as described above.
This is a clear lesson to me, why nurturing my conscience is so vital and why to only work with those who are doing the same.
What you have shared about being spiritually anorexic, phew. I can feel and see how little I was educated on God in the past. Not understanding Him or know anything about Him. I thought the stories of Noah and Moses were, in fact, just that, stories; I didn’t realise they were true. I am grateful that God is revealing the reality that these events actually happened and they happened for a reason. I relate to what you said about the establishment crushing the human spirit…
Loving God with all our heart, soul, mind, and spirit is critical so that we can and will become spiritually strong, in and with Him.
I pray for those who hide behind pseudonyms on Reddit so they can spread malicious, evil lies without anyone knowing who they are…
