1. Today’s Update – The One Word That Describes The Establishment Tyranny
Greetings in Christ,
As you know, we have been going to great lengths to share just some of the insights we have gained about the Establishment, and how it truly works. We have all, to varying degrees, grown up in this fallen, broken world. We know nothing different than the world we’ve grown up in. Tragically and in many ways, depressingly though, we are seeing by the day more corruption, more scandals, more reasons to distrust and be disillusioned by the very world and authorities we have foolishly and ignorantly trusted for so long. Sometimes since childhood.
Whether that’s the BBC, or politicians, global business organisations, or renowned charities, it really does appear that the world is falling apart… because the truth is, it is. But why? How, after thousands of years of human development and achievement, leaps and bounds of technology, are we here, in what many are calling the end times?
To answer that, we need to look deeper and closer at this world. We see the scandals. Yet we need to look closer. We see the (so-called) “elite’s” paedophile rings. As much as it hurts, we still need to look closer. We see the billions of dollars and pounds being laundered by those in power for their own gain, while illegal immigrants are allowed to flood into Europe and the USA. But closer still…
Can you see it? What this world really is? What it’s become without the union and communion with God?
A scam.
Let that sink in.
The violation. The invasion. The deception. The misplaced trust. The fraud.
Yes, you’ve been scammed – and not just financially. In fact, the financial is the least of it.
Billions of human beings have been scammed out of the most precious value that we are and that we have. We have been scammed by the Establishment. As George Carlin so aptly said once, “there’s a big club, and you ain’t in it.”
They scam us by making us think we’re advanced while removing our understanding of and relationship with God.
They scam us by making us believe we are educated, when we never learn about ourselves, our value and our potential.
They scam us to believe we’re informed and that the media has the “public interest” at heart, when they lie and deceive us every single day.
They scam us to make us believe we’re safe and secure, when they control all the money, the resources, the wars, the diseases, the cancers – and the cures.
Yes, the biggest scammers are not in some nefarious call centre, or in casino offices. The greatest scam is the entire Establishment system, made of sub-cults and sub-scammers doing their masters’ bidding.
To call this out to the world, we are launching an entire series educating on what the Establishment scam is, how it operates, how it impacts you, and what you can do about it. This is the study of an issue that has not been coined before: Scamtology. As we shared yesterday about the BBC’s right to reply deceptive scam, we will share much deeper insights on that – and far more – including how we lobby the government for major change in journalism.
As always, stay on the watch. Guard your mind, guard your heart, guard your home, guard your loved ones. Look after each other.
God bless
Paul S. Waugh, Chris Nash, Shaun Cooper
2. Daily Prayer
A prayer seeking spiritual clarity, humility, repentance, and deeper faith in God; affirming dependence on God’s grace, the rejection of self-driven righteousness, and commitment to living in truth, obedience, and love through Jesus Christ.

3. Today’s Establishment Scam Example on Citizens & Christians
Why Accountability Rarely Reaches the Powerful
In today’s Establishment Scam Example, we see Senator Josh Hawley confront Keith Ellison, Attorney General of Minnesota, on corruption within his department. Mr Hawley states that Mr Ellison allegedly received $10,000 for helping those who paid him off. We are grateful Mr Hawley pushed hard in this hearing and it’s clear he cares deeply about rooting out corruption in politics. Nevertheless too often these hearings become “political theatre” rather than real justice. After all, how often do we hear of those in positions of power, the “elites” being sent to prison for such corruption? In contrast, you and I, as ordinary people will face the full weight of the law whether for things like licence fee offences or social media posts. In 2024 alone, it was reported that the U.S. financial services industry spent over $360 million on lobbying. If laws are applied differently depending on power, public trust collapses.

What an incredibly apt term to describe what is happening in the world. Thank you for the update and for shedding light on what is taking place within this system and behind the Establishment. It is both fascinating and daunting to reflect on the times we are living in; without the grace and light of Christ, it could easily feel hopeless. Thank you, and God bless.
Thank you for these reality checks. One of the greatest gaps in our education is that we are not taught how to critically assess the narratives and incentives behind the information we receive. Too often, institutions operate in ways that lack transparency and accountability, which erodes public trust.
I find the term “Scamtology” striking because it captures the reality that the current systems are self-serving and just benefitting a few. When power structures prioritise financial or political interests over the wellbeing of citizens, especially children and vulnerable people, the consequences are serious and long-lasting.
The exchange between Senator Josh Hawley and Keith Ellison highlights broader concerns many people share about lobbying, financial influence, and the relationship between politics and private interests.
Real, lasting change requires a commitment to real, deep reform. Accountability, open dialogue, and principled leadership are essential if trust is to be rebuilt and institutions are to serve the public rather than themselves.
Thank you very much Paul and the team for yet another major breakthrough. Reading this is honestly so bitter and so painful to realise and accept, but it’s real and it’s true. I’m really looking forward to the further series and articles explaining more about Scamtology and the culprits of this macro scam. God bless you all.
Scamtology, what a way to define the establishment and what they have done to this world, without removing our collective responsibility. It needs to be told, the reality of what is being done right in plain sight. The more I realise how controlled I am, and how we all are, the more anger I feel. When I think of events like 9/11, three thousand people being burned or jumping to their deaths, orchestrated murder of innocent people, it is absolutely heinous and diabolical. Thank you for revealing it.
Reading what has been written here by Paul, Chris and Shaun, and over the past few days is exactly what the public need to understand. Hearing that we have and are being scammed is deeply disturbing. The establishment are violating our lives by depriving us of the life that God wants for us. They are scamming us out of reaching our human potential and understanding the value that we are and have to offer.
Scamtology! It makes such a difference to be able to name, define, describe and explain why the world is the way it is. I grew up with the belief that pretty much all that was going in the world was negative, but also random.
Reflecting now, there’s so much negativity that occurs in soap operas because that’s how the script is written. Now I look at the political and media landscape… it’s all just one big soap opera made out to be real and genuine. What a scam!
The fact that the mainstream media can pick out any member of the public and make them a public enemy overnight shows the scam we’re part of. We’re in a scam set up to indoctrinate and control the masses. Time for citizens, particularly Christian citizens, to wake up!
Thank you for the reality check of the depth of scamtology! I usually default to a boiler room operation as a scam but what you are showing me is that scams are hidden all around us in plain sight. We are kept numb and dumb to our potential and God..it’s systemic and orchestrated.
This update is spot on. When you look at how narrative, pressure and selective consequences are used, “tyranny” doesn’t feel dramatic — it feels accurate. And the more you see the scamtology behind how things are framed and sold to the public, the harder it is to unsee. It’s not about disagreement, it’s about managing perception and silencing challenge. Grateful for you Paul being willing to call that out plainly.
This is powerfully humbling because it is revealing to us the stark reality of how much we have been duped by those we have wrongfully, naively, ignorantly, perhaps even pig ignorantly trusted to act in our best interests as citizens. If anything History has taught us again and again and again that power corrupts and where we, the public, have failed to hold the establishment to account and held a tight reign to contain evil at the highest level from increasing, we have paid and are paying the price. We must accept that the establishment are the greatest scammers there are and we are the scammed in order to shine the spotlight of truth on them and put their heinous crimes to rights. It’s not just our pockets that have been scammed, it’s every area of our lives!
One of the biggest scams the British people are under, is their belief in the honesty of the BBC. We have been raised and indoctrinated to believe whatever they say is true. But actually they broadcast in the elites interest not the publics. They don’t verify facts, they often just make up a new story to fit their narrative. And they silence the people they talk about, by not giving them a full right to reply to every false fact they broadcast.
These same patterns can be seen in politics and used to scam the public into many false beliefs.
One of the hardest realisations to come to is how long I had been scammed out believing I need a relationship with Christ…the cruelty of this is especially and extremely deep and evil.
Scamtology has led to the majority of us walking around with false and inappropriate confidence thinking that we understand life, understand ourselves, understand the systems around me and believing that they have our best interests at heart….this could not be further from the truth. Thank you for bringing clarity, saliency and an understanding of what we have not been able to articulate about our experiences.
Thank you for the article on Mr Hawley. It rightly exposes how wealth, institutional alliances, lobbying influence, and media management combine to protect elite figures from consequences that would fall swiftly on ordinary citizens. God bless Mr Hawley for his tireless, Godly work.
