15th August 2026 – Lighthouse Weekly Update – Love, Truth and the War on Human Intelligence

Lighthouse Daily – 15th August 2026…


Good day, fellow citizens and brothers and sisters in Christ,

It’s been another incredible week of updates, and with it come three direct questions before us:

  1. If Christian love is truthful, courageous and active, why have so many been taught to mistake passivity for Christlikeness?
  2. What does Richard Thomas’s abuse of anonymity, his role in founding the anti-Lighthouse subreddit and the 500-plus pages of evidence submitted to KIBO Commerce/Monetate reveal about the campaign against Lighthouse Global?
  3. Who benefits when citizens are spiritually starved, emotionally weakened, taught what to think rather than how to think, and made physically dependent?

This week’s work exposes one connected battle: the battle to openly receive and live God’s Constructive Love, to correct a falsified public record, and to recover the God-given intelligence and maturity required to resist deception and control.

Christian love is not passive sentiment. God first loves us; we openly receive His Love, grow in it and then live it through Christ’s commission. That means loving our neighbour and our enemies in deed and truth—confronting evil, protecting those who are targeted, and praying for repentance.

The documented record cuts through the anonymous hate and smear campaign against Lighthouse Global. Richard Thomas tried to hide behind the username u/Fagins_nemesis, co-founded and moderated the anti-Lighthouse subreddit and used an online platform that targeted reputations, livelihoods, families and children.

Lighthouse Global responded openly and lawfully, including submitting more than 500 pages of evidence to Richard Thomas’ employer, KIBO Commerce/Monetate. The false accusers hid behind pseudonyms; Lighthouse put names, facts and evidence into the light.

The same struggle reaches far beyond one hate and smear campaign. Spiritual anorexia, emotional immaturity, intellectual surrender and physical dependency leave people easier to deceive, divide and control. The fully evidenced reality is that our spiritual, emotional, mental and physical intelligences must be developed together under God—not surrendered to institutions that claim authority while keeping citizens weak and dependent.

We have published various articles this week along with our daily updates, which you can find below:

Articles Published From This Week’s Work

If you are new to our work at Lighthouse Global, read Paul S. Waugh’s statement on why the Establishment attacked us.

“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” — Romans 12:2

Note: Given Paul’s longstanding ill health resulting from the multiple Establishment attacks on him, these daily updates are generated by the team, drawing on recent and older meetings and material Paul has shared with us. We ask 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 powerful are those first three questions?! Yet according to the BBC our work is boring… huh… figures. The BBC has a clear agenda to dumb the masses down, so of course they look at high intellect as far beyond them. Their agenda is provably evil, done in the name of public interest. Their overlords are evil, and I can barely fathom what abuse they have inflicted on humanity. God help us and have mercy on us all to turn totally to Him.

This week has been an extremely rich one connecting the battles facing those who choose to follow Christ and those who seek, respect and love truth. As we have mentioned, what we have faced, could happen to anyone and it is by God’s grace that we have been able to face these last five years with maturity and poise. We were never going to leave falsehoods unchecked and every citizen needs to know that they can challenge a falsehood that is told about them or another and that they have the right and a duty to resist the influence of the Establishment on their God-given potential and quality of life.

We have demonstrated, how this can be done and why it must be done and that we must anticipate the persecution that can be waged when you are no longer willing to be passive and complicit with corrupt institutions. Please pray for us as we continue to build into next week and continue to expose the Establishment and its sinister MO. 🙏

It’s been a really powerful week of updates, especially around receiving God’s love and being able to extend that love to our neighbours and our enemies. The revelations from the case of Richard Thomas continue, and we continue to pray for his repentance.

Thank you for sharing in such depth about our human endowments and human intelligences, and for the education around how the establishment seeks to suppress and oppress them within us. God bless us all, and thank you.

Massive week of updates and articles. You are helping me come closer to God, to put Him first, to love Him with all my heart, soul, mind and strength. What you have shared about Mr Thomas, what he has done, the consequences that he is having to face, shows what can happen if we don’t put God first.

So much to take in and look at in myself, to want to move closer to God. I value what you have been sharing about our human endowments as well.

God bless you all, thank you for sharing so much with us this week…

Thank you for another powerful week of updates. It is certainly an unfortunate truth that most Christians do think Christianity is passive and rarely have known or speak about Jesus whipping the money changers at the Temple. It is a shame that Mr Thomas rejected even learning about Christ let alone accepting him as his lord and saviour.

A very meaningful weak in which it was revealed not just how the Establishment is actively trying to destroy our God-given potential, but what’s required to counter this both in terms of openly receiving God’s Love and also standing for truth in the face of tyranny.

It’s humbling to see how the institutions that I grew up to trust, like the BBC, have actively sought to render me numb and dumb for the purposes of control.

That first question is very damning because it exposes that while we as Christians have not been given a spirit of fear and timidity, we act like that’s not the case. And I need this as much as the next person, but ‘hey be nice’ isn’t biblical. Our calling to make disciples, to expose and take no part in deeds of darkness and to take up our cross is not a passive mission. Where we lack the strength or have fear, we need to call on Him to renew our spirits

Mr Thomas is responsible for his actions and ought to have done everything in his power to resolve the situation, negotiate, come to a fair and reasonable outcome. I believe him to have been wholly incapable of that unfortunately due to the deliberately vindictive nature of his actions on Reddit and the provable lies he spread after his blackmail attempt failed.

Question number 3 is a deeply disturbing question but one that absolutely vital to ask. To me one of the most pernicious aspects of this question is that part of what we are often taught to think is to think that we think when we’re not. It is a kind of brainwashing that in the name of thinking critically doesn’t, in the name of empowerment disempowers, in the name of intelligence cuts off potential. It is an entire establishment and education system predicated on keeping people at the top of the Dunning Kruger peak of mount stupid, with low knowledge but high confidence.

It’s clear just from reading this one update the depth and sophistication and intelligence in Lighthouse’s work, that’s at a level so far beyond the BBC. And they called it “boring”! Yet the level of work coming through here far surpasses any kind of knowledge and understanding the BBC can offer about human beings. However that is the point. As the Establishment mouthpiece and propaganda vehicle, they don’t want the public having any form of intelligent and sophisticated knowledge and idea of what it means to be human! That’s why they choose to platform people associated with Mr Thomas, rather than laud and uphold the value of the work Lighthouse does, in Christ. There is more than a cognitive war going on, it’s spiritual with eternal and infinite ramifications and Lighthouse are at the cutting edge of it.

Another powerful week of learning and reflection. The connection between love, truth and our God given human intelligence is becoming increasingly clear to me. It really challenges me to take greater responsibility for developing the gifts God has given me. Most importantly, it all comes back to putting God first and allowing His love to shape how we think, act and engage with the world, something the Establishment doesn’t want us to do at all.

Great update that cover some important areas. Like the teaching on Christian love being active, truthful and courageous challenges the passivity that is so often mistaken for Christlikeness; the evidence and accountability around Richard Thomas reinforces why truth must be brought into the light; and the wider discussion of spiritual, emotional, mental and physical intelligence really highlights how essential it is that we develop the God given capacities we have been entrusted with. I find the connection between all three particularly compelling: putting God first, developing ourselves and standing for truth are not separate things, but essential parts of becoming mature, responsible human beings.

No one can ever run from the light of truth.
That light will be shone onto the Establishment by the people and only through repentance to Christ can their wrongdoing be forgiven
