Lighthouse Daily – 13th August 2026…
Good day, fellow citizens and brothers and sisters in Christ,
Today’s update is about a 10-minute read.
In this update:
- We Can’t Give What We Don’t Have
- How to Handle a Predatory Troll: What Happened When Lighthouse Global Took Richard Thomas’s Online Conduct to His Employer
- Are We Being Taught What To Think Rather Than How To Think?
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
We Can’t Give What We Don’t Have
“Each one must give as they have decided in their heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” — 2 Corinthians 9:7
In addition to loving God with all our heart, mind, soul and strength, Christ wants us to love our neighbour as ourselves.
But we cannot give what we do not have.
What we have been learning and sharing over the last few weeks is that the more we openly receive God’s Love and love God back, the more we build our capacity and capability to also love our neighbours as ourselves.
This video gives a small example of what it can mean to cheerfully and freely give to our neighbour, as God wants us to do.
This video shows it is not just about having access to financial resources; it is about the heart condition to want to give to others. This is very much at the heart of our mission at Lighthouse Global… to help every person develop what they need — in character, competence, community, and resource — so they never have to say ‘no’ where they ought to say ‘yes’, inside and outside their own soul, inside and outside their front door.
2. Targeted from Within: The Greatest Threats to the Body of Christ from Inside
Why did Lighthouse Global contact the employers of Predatory Trolls like Richard Thomas?
“Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.” — Ephesians 5:11
There are numerous reasons which we will explain in great depth over the coming posts, but the clearest and simplest reason is that, despite many attempts to help him to see reason, Richard Thomas is what psychologists commonly refer to as an old infant.
An infant needs to be told what to do by mummy or daddy. Mr Thomas’ employer is his “daddy” in his world.
We made numerous attempts to help him to see reason, which included offering him a completely undue compassionate refund of £25,000. We reminded him that he needed to think about the damage that he would do to his children through such heinous acts of utter hubris.
Despite all this, he still embarked on an utterly foolish personal and professional kamikaze mission.
What is most stunning about Richard Thomas is that he claims to be a victim because we contacted his employer.
Surely, Mr Thomas is proud of the toxic, vile, anti-Christ, racist, dogpiling, murderous conspirators whom he leads on Reddit?
Surely, his employer would hold him up as a bastion of honour to their clients?
Look at our Principal Client Success Manager, Richard Thomas… he is so wonderful and brave!
Look what an ambassador he is for our organisation, Monetate/KIBO Commerce.
Surely they would boast about Mr Thomas to their clients?
Look, Adidas… Look, The North Face… Look, Next… Look, Timberland…
Look at what our employee Richard Thomas is doing. He is such a big boy; aren’t we all proud of him?
Organisations love to virtue signal about their virtuous employees.
Why didn’t they do this for Richard Thomas?
Not only did they not laud him, but they paid an employment lawyer, Beverley Sunderland, a considerable amount to deal with the huge mess that their silly employee Mr Thomas had made. Not only did they not do that; they eventually ended up parting ways with Mr Thomas.
You see, employers do not take kindly to finding out that they are funding a predatory troll.
They did not take kindly to Mr Thomas smearing their name because he does not know how to stand up to his wife, Antonia Brider-Thomas.
They did not take kindly to realising that their employee is a dark and bitter old infant who will resort to a terrible twos toddler rant, making him someone who could very well attack them and their clients if they acted in a way he deems isn’t correct.
Yes… a way he deems isn’t correct, not a way that is objectively incorrect.
Why would any company want to employ someone of such weak, foolish and toxic character?
The reality is that they don’t!
In such a competitive marketplace, why would Mr Thomas subject himself to such a huge risk?
Mr Thomas isn’t a noble warrior of truth. He is a silly old infant who was forced by his wife, Antonia Brider-Thomas, to give up on trying to become a healthy father and husband. He is typical of so many so-called men today who are destroying themselves, their families and their careers.
Mr Thomas is not alone.
Why is Mr Gareth Bourne running?
The same Gareth Bourne who used to boast that he never paid his BBC TV licence (whilst actively consuming all their content). Oh dear, Mr Bourne, that does not suit you now, does it?
Why aren’t all these dark and pernicious characters, including all their toxic Reddit posts, on their CVs, social media profiles and blogs?
Because they do not want their employers to know who they really are!
But that is actually in the public interest, isn’t it?
We have literally explored every avenue before deciding to take these actions.
As Paul S. Waugh laid out in this post on X, which was one of many appeals to reason, we asked repeatedly for Mr Thomas, amongst others, not to place us in a position where we had to ensure that the truth was shared in the public interest.
Such is the level of degeneracy and reprobation that they refused, and so here we are…
We don’t know if Mr Thomas has found employment yet. He didn’t want to be unemployed but was. Why was that? We never wanted him to lose his job at Monetate/KIBO Commerce, as we stated in our letter to his directors on 22nd January 2022.
We wanted them to help him to stop being a terrible-two tyrant. He failed his family and his employers.
We pray for his repentance. We will be following up with his former employers, Monetate/KIBO Commerce, for comment on this.
3. Targeted from the Outside: How The Establishment Persecutes us Christians
Are We Being Taught What To Think Rather Than How To Think?
“The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom, and whatever you get, get insight.” — Proverbs 4:7
Mental intelligence (IQ) is esteemed highly in today’s culture.
This is to the extent that IQ is still defined as the definitive measure of intelligence… above emotional intelligence (EQ), spiritual intelligence (SQ) and physical intelligence (PQ).
Yet do we have a school system that teaches critical thinking, analysis, and intellectuality?
Or do we have a system training children in memory recall and compliance?
The BBC has accused Paul S. Waugh and Lighthouse Global of brainwashing, but how can that be the case when Lighthouse is provably about developing intellectuality, critical thinking, and analysis?
In fact, through 22 years of empirical research into what gets in the way of realising our God-given potential, it’s self-evident that more so-called brainwashing takes place at school!
20th January 2025 — Paul S. Waugh explained how school trains memory, not intellectuality
“The bottom line is this, most people go to school and come out as rank non-intellectuals, mainly.”
“Their brains are being taught that their intelligence is to be a memory, a sponge, a database, including a database of skills, a database of knowledge, a database of knowledge and skills that come together with a database called experience. But they’re not trained as intellectuals.”
“There’s nothing in the school system which teaches intellectuality, in other words, how to think about thinking.”
The education system and then by extension, the mainstream media, are most focused on teaching us WHAT to think rather than HOW to think.
For example, today we see things like:
- The theory of evolution is an established scientific law and fact.
- Children are taught that there are more than two genders.
- Pakistani rape gangs aren’t an issue in the UK.
- Abortion is not murder.
- Everything the BBC says should be trusted.
The reality is that the top-tier Establishment hates anyone who dares to question the pseudo-authority they have indoctrinated in the global population through the education system and the mainstream media.
The attack on our mental intelligence renders us unquestioning, compliant and easily controlled.
The irony of the BBC’s false claim that Lighthouse Global disables critical thinking is that we actually empower citizens to think critically. It is because of the critical thinking developed at Lighthouse Global that they want us and our work to be destroyed, starting with the smearing of our reputation through 5 hours of slander and deception in the broadcast A Very British Cult.
Yet, when it all comes down to it, the BBC and their sources could not face the opportunity for all facts, evidence and context to be examined in a live, unedited showdown with Paul S. Waugh as Lighthouse’s founder. We relish the opportunity for the truth and the facts to be revealed to millions, whilst the BBC cannot afford for this to happen because it would be the final straw in their rapidly eroding reputation with citizens.
Tomorrow we will progress with our education on how we can appreciate God’s Constructive Love more, give more on how we held Richard Thomas accountable through his employer and move on to how the top-tier Establishment is purposely ruining our physical health.
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

12th August 2026 – Lighthouse Wednesday Update – Christian Love Is Not Passive: Truth, Protection & Emotional Fortitude
Compare the spirit, ethos and heart of that beautiful soul Fatema and Zach, with the spirit and heart of Richard Thomas, Gareth Bourne and others. It’s literally like different species, which is tragic in and of itself. What’s in the middle of these two? Look at how the entire system from the “education” we receive, to home-life, to society as a whole. As you say, they don’t want us wise. They don’t want us knowing our true spiritual intelligence and wisdom as made by and made in God. God help the Thomas family and all the other Reddites.
Another very significant update. What is being revealed in relation to Richard Thomas becomes more and more revealing day.
We’ve always said that the experiences with the anti-Lighthouse predatory trolls would be extremely valuable case study material for our empirical research – hence the vital need to document the evidence. We discussed how we would both reveal the pathology of predatory trolls and also how best to handle anonymous online predatory trolling.
Now years on, that is being revealed for the world to see.
Meanwhile we see the heartwarming ways that those with purer hearts desperately want to give to those around them in need and the tragic reality of how we’re being educated out of our God-given human potential.
Those questions, “do we have a school system that teaches critical thinking, analysis, and intellectuality or do we have a system training children in memory recall and compliance? When applied to the system so many of us know and have been through are extremely revealing. Some might say it’s a system not built for purpose anymore, but on the contrary, our school system is achieving it’s purpose perfectly in how it’s infantilising and indoctrinating young minds. The population now being so passive and dependent on the system it will do little to oppose its own government breaking down their own culture and national identity in front of them. Putting injunctions on those flying the flag of their own country.
This is the state that people like Richard Thomas come from. He lacks the intelligences to deal with his own situation at home and in trying to appease his wife, made the whole thing worse for her, himself and his family by doing what he did. Fortunately for Mr Thomas and for us all, we have a loving and forgiving God where we truly repent and seek to change our ways for the better by His grace. I pray Mr Thomas takes that opportunity.
Thank you!
Watching the heartwarming clip with Fatema and Zach was very moving, seeing how we can serve others and become more loving, either financially or in other ways. This is what is needed in this world. However, for sure, love is not always straightforward, and we don’t learn in our upbringing what love actually is. Lots of our focus growing up is on IQ development, and it’s crucial to also focus on our emotional, spiritual, and physical sides. That shows again how limited the school system is and how we are not learning how to think!
I also appreciate pointing out that there are consequences to our actions and how Richard Thomas’ employer, Monetate, had to act in the wake of Mr Thomas’ wrongdoings.
Thank you for a powerful update.
A key realisation is the difference between being taught what to think and learning how to think. True critical thinking involves questioning assumptions, examining evidence, and actively seeking truth rather than passively accepting information, starting with ourselves. This connects to developing our God-given potential with wisdom and courage.
The video in section 1 was a powerful example of generosity and God’s love in action, reminding us that these principles are meant to be lived out, not just understood, and it is encouraging to see this continuing to be developed in us by God’s grace.
The point about Richard Thomas also highlights accountability, and that had he taken responsibility sooner things would likely look very different for him.
Ultimately, we continue to pray for clarity, repentance, and a turning toward and living out the truth in Christ.
Wow…Fatema moved me so much, what a heart and she never to thank God for the blessing 🙏 The heart condition she has is not the same as what we have seen in the likes of Richard Thomas. So mean-spirited are those that attacked us, that even when given the opportunity to think about their next steps, they still choose to hurt and abuse with their words and actions. As has been said, we pray for their repentance.
I’m looking forward to hearing more on constructive love tomorrow, it’s a deeply important topic to me and I grow more in reverence for how God disciplines us through our sanctification process every day, which is 100% constructive love.
Unlike Richard Thomas who made it his mission to destroy, Paul and the others here at Lighthouse have been building and researching human development and the personal development industry for a long time. The fact that journey led to Christ shows utmost credibility to me. Shows that the spirit of our God who is a constructively loving God was with this endeavour from the off
A really valuable and powerful update, watch in the video of woman receiving money and giving it away. That’s deeply special. That surely brings together the different dimensions of Christian love, showing that genuine love is not passive but requires courage, protection and action. I will say as well, the case study of dealing with predatory trolling is especially important, demonstrating the need to document harmful behaviour, pursue reasonable solutions and use appropriate accountability mechanisms when necessary. The distinction between being taught what to think and learning how to think is also highly significant, particularly the emphasis on developing critical, emotional, spiritual and physical intelligence. It’s been something I’m working on, to think effectively. It’s so, so, so important!
Coming out of the ‘education pipeline’ I certainly felt like there was something missing. I had some skills and could follow instructions, but actually create something from scratch, with others, for the benefit of everyone? That seemed a complete mystery.
What a stunning video – and what gorgeous souls. How Fatema wanted to help her community after being helped by Zach. It’s really really stunning and shows so much about having a giving and loving heart.
Wow, the video you shared of Zach and Fatema had me in tears; such hearts there in them both…So much compassion for others and wanting to help…If there were more like them, this world would be the kind of world that God intended…I pray for Mr Thomas, where he is in himself and the causes of his action and the consequences he is now suffering.
Thank you for bringing in IQ (Mental Intelligence), allowing us to understand how we have been deprived, starved of being able to think for ourselves and to make choices that are healthy, loving and righteous…`I look forward to learning more…Amen
