1. Today’s Update
Good day everyone,
Sticks and stones can break bones, but do words really never hurt?
Ask yourself this, if you were to walk out your home today, past the local shops and you saw your name in the newspaper headline, with the words “CHILD ABUSER”, how would you react?
It would seem that words can actually do more than hurt. They can completely wreck and ruin a life.
Well, this is not hypothetical, this is what the insidious mainscam media do, and have done. Yesterday we showed you how they’ve used a few words like “far right” to tarnish Tommy Robinson’s reputation, his family and his livelihood. Today, we are sharing with you the horrifying case of Sir Cliff Richard, and how the BBC sought to ruin his life through broadcasting false accusations that he was a child abuser.
You might be thinking, that’s horrible, but I’m not famous. The media would never come after me, so I’m safe.
That’s where you’re wrong. You see, they don’t need to target us individually. They can still ruin our lives by targeting us collectively. So if you’re a Christian, or someone with conservative, social, religious and political views, trust us, you’re already a target of the mainscam media. You just haven’t been hit yet.
So as you read through today’s article on Sir Cliff Richard, remember, they come after the rich and famous to serve as examples to the everyday man and woman.
This is all the more reason to come together and unite with like hearted, like-spirited individuals who genuinely care for one another, who won’t turn their backs on each other when times get really, really hard – because they will. For all of us.
Contact us here if you need any help. Whether that’s protecting yourself from the media, or with an issue at work, or even problems and danger in your own family.
2. Today’s Escamlishment Problem – When the Media Becomes the Executioner: The Abuse of Press Power and the Public Interest in the Cliff Richard Scandal
What happens when the organisation that claims to defend truth becomes powerful enough to destroy reputations before the truth is known?! And does so in the “public interest”?
The case of Cliff Richard exposed a disturbing reality. In 2014, the BBC broadcast live footage of a police raid on his home while he had not been arrested or charged with any crime. Millions watched the spectacle unfold.
Years later, the courts ruled in his favour. But by then the damage had already been done.
When accusations are broadcast instantly to millions, and corrections arrive quietly years later, the process itself becomes the punishment.
If the press is meant to protect the public, what happens when it begins acting as judge, jury and executioner?

3. Today’s Prayer
A heartfelt prayer from Paul expressing the desire to move beyond automatic living into a deeper, transformative love for God that leads to true fulfilment and a renewed way of seeing everything.

4. Lighthouse Associates Collective Feedback
We realised that so much of the work here has always been about standing up for what is right and true for human beings—created in God’s image—against forces, cultures, and systems that quietly or aggressively undermine that development. Seeing it framed as advocacy helped many of us connect the dots between seemingly different areas of the work: the research into human potential, the exposure of scams and corruption, the emphasis on family and relationships, and the constant effort to help people become more whole and responsible. It brought a coherence that felt both obvious and profound.
At the same time, it exposed how limited our own understanding of advocacy has been. Many of us had unconsciously confined the idea to narrow legal or political contexts, without recognising how central it actually is to life itself. Looking back, we can see how conditioning, fear, and apathy have dulled that instinct in us. In many cases we have wanted someone else to advocate for us while avoiding the responsibility of advocating ourselves. Recognising that has been uncomfortable but also ultimately freeing.
For some of us, this realisation stirred grief. We could see moments in our lives where we were indifferent, passive, or even complicit in harm simply because we lacked the courage to stand for what was right. Seeing that pattern in ourselves has been sobering. Yet alongside the grief there is also a growing sense of courage—because advocacy requires not only standing against injustice in the world, but also the honesty to confront what is inside ourselves. That inner work is proving to be just as demanding as any external battle.
One of the strongest themes that emerged for us was the need to become advocates for ourselves before we can truly advocate for others. Several of us recognised how difficult it is to lead, help, or defend others when we have not yet learned to make a case for our own healing, growth, and transformation. Learning to stand honestly in our own story—to acknowledge wounds, trauma, conditioning, or self-neglect—feels like the starting point. In that sense, advocacy becomes deeply personal: making a case for our own development so that we can become the people God intended us to be.
This also helped us see more clearly why compassion matters. When you spoke about our backgrounds—distant fathers, painful upbringings, the many ways people have been shaped by difficult or toxic circumstances—it reminded us that becoming an advocate doesn’t mean condemning ourselves or others. It means recognising reality and allowing Christ to transform it. That combination of truth and compassion felt deeply important to many of us.
God bless you all, stay safe and look after each other,

Thank you for today’s update. It is a very powerful realisation that it’s not just the rich and famous that the mainstream media “go after”. They go after each individual in a group that they target by default, if not by personal name. Few people know how hard it is to achieve justice against the press the way libel laws are set up and the fear the judiciary feel towards intervening in the press because of the fear of being accused of getting in the way of press freedom in the public interest!
This is big. The reality of how unsafe we are is something most of us are deeply unaware of! I’m realising the mainscam media target us through the programming, not just the hit pieces. They’re not our ally, they’re not here for the public interest as they claim. This is an urgent wake up. Thank you.
Thank you for this update, God bless Sir Cliff Richard. The power of words is far greater than we begin to imagine. As we know in our case with false accusations and over 140 provable lies. We pray for repentance and a genuine coming to Christ on our hands, knees and faces, asking for mercy. May God be with us all. Amen.
Another revealing and enlightening update. Day-by-day there’s more and more reasons for the mainstream media to be rightly called the mainscam media. It’s an important point that’s made about Sir Cliff Richard; if they can get him, they can get you! The Establishment is evidently seeking to have power and control over the masses. Fear is a huge tactic that’s used to make that possible. For that reason I appreciate the reality check that we’re all a target and citizens need to come together educated and empowered to protect themselves. Were it not for the experience from the last 5 years, I would not be saying any of what I’m saying. Ignorance seemed to be bliss, especially when it came to the media… oh how that’s changed!!
Thank you for these updates and article. It is essential reading to understand more about how the media scams everyone and punishes any they don’t like through the process of false reporting.
The fact that the Mainstream Media has such enormous power and resources at its disposal to absolutely destroy any person’s life in moments because of their reach and influence is a power that ought to be independently checked and scrutinised to extremely high levels. Yet that is not the case and the so called regulators, like Ofcom, are absolutely toothless sham organisations staffed by ex employees of the same media companies they regulate. It’s a joke. Would we get ex mafia members to police the mafia? Yes we need a free press but we also need a responsible and highly accountable one, which we absolutely do not have…. YET! God bless Sir Cliff, what he went through and unremorseplesly by the BBC too, was disgusting.
It is very true that words can hurt, especially if someone has a reputation that people not only listen to, but trust. Added to the mix is the assumption that things are fact checked, and then suddenly a lie is believed, and as you said, lives can be wrecked because of it. The media, I now see, can act as a control mechanism to direct the public into a certain mode of perception and thinking. I really value this work of shining a spotlight on them. We need the truth, and it is not coming wholesale from the mainstream media.
Thank you! We as citizens need to understand that this can happen to anyone..everyday citizen, ones we all know…it can happen to any one of us. God bless Sir Cliff Richard, this is one of the most disgraceful situations I have ever heard of.
Words can hurt, they can stay with you for years, buried deep inside, without you realising. Then one day, something gets jogged in your memory and what you’ve been called in the post, can come back to hurt you. It’s worse when you are called something you are not. God bless Sir Cliff Richard, I pray for him.
The mainstream media has gone far beyond their role of objective reporting. They have their own agenda, and they are the mouthpiece of the establishment, who want to control people.
Seeing examples like the reporting on Sir Cliff Richard, and the media giving the impression that he’s guilty before any trial takes place, makes it clear how the mainstream media can pick and choose anyone and destroy their lives.
We need to come together to protect each other. Otherwise, we open ourselves up to being attacked. We’ve experienced myself how it can hit anyone!
God bless
What stands out here is the human cost. It’s easy to talk about “media” in the abstract, but behind it are real lives being shaped, damaged, and sometimes destroyed by what’s put out. When deception is repeated with authority, it doesn’t just misinform — it rewrites how people are seen and treated.
