Lighthouse Daily – 23rd July 2026…
Good day, fellow citizens and brothers and sisters in Christ,
Today’s update takes about 6 minutes to read, with a 4-minute prayer attached.
In this update:
- The Crucial Importance of Loving God First
- Profiling Fake Whistleblower Martin Francis
- Smear to Destroy: Who Would Do Such a Thing?
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
The Crucial Importance of Loving God First
“You shall bring the choice first fruits of your ground into the house of Yahweh your God.” — Exodus 23:19
So far this week, we have explored the gap between what we claim matters to us and what actually matters most to us.
Here is another critical test of what ultimately matters to us…
What is the very first thing we think about and focus on in the morning?
Do distractions, anxieties, temptations or addictions take over our minds?
Do we choose to lead our minds, or do we let them lead us astray?
If God is truly most important to us, as the very source of our lives, we ought to bring Him the first fruits of our lives—that is, we should come to Him first thing in the morning.
2. Targeted from Within: The Greatest Threats to the Body of Christ from Inside
Profiling Fake Whistleblower Martin Francis
“A man’s enemies will be the members of his household.” — Matthew 10:36
As we shared yesterday, one of the most disturbing dynamics in the attacks on Lighthouse is that entire families or clans have clubbed together in hatred and malice to try to destroy not only Lighthouse Global but, specifically, Paul S. Waugh.
On Tuesday, we profiled “Erin” and her demoniac family. Today, we are presenting Martin Francis, father of Melissa Deichler (née Francis), who is one of our core Lighthouse Associate Partners.
1. Melissa’s traumatic and destructive upbringing: Martin Francis and Dagmar Spaeth engaged in one of the most hostile and contentious divorces in UK legal history, which public records document here. They wanted to destroy one another through this divorce (and almost did in the process), revealing just who they are to their children: toxically self-obsessed and viciously vindictive.
2. Martin Francis’ possessive treatment of his own daughter: During the divorce proceedings, Martin accused Dagmar Spaeth of “brainwashing” their daughter Melissa, because he wanted to possess her, including controlling what she thought of him.
- Martin was so toxically jealous of his ex-wife, and his pride was irreparably wounded because of her infidelity. He did not want to have Melissa as “part of” his family, but rather own her as a piece of property he could diabolically control.
3. His psychopathic manipulation of Melissa: Martin Francis psychologically manipulated Melissa from an early age. Before, during and after the divorce proceedings, Martin Francis abused her verbally, psychologically and financially. This abuse caused such trauma that she later required extensive counselling.
- “You don’t f**king care, you’re a b****!” was Martin’s disgusting and psychopathic reaction to Melissa breaking down in tears, whilst organising files containing intimate details of his divorce from Dagmar. He had asked his own daughter to do this for pocket money.
- This was typical of the emotional volatility that Martin would inflict not only on Melissa but the rest of the family too. He would try to manipulate everyone instead of legitimately building trust, love and respect between one another.
- You can learn more details of his abuse toward Melissa here.
4. Martin would rather destroy Melissa if he cannot own her: Just the same as how he accused his ex-wife of brainwashing his daughter, Martin Francis falsely accused Paul S. Waugh of brainwashing Melissa. He cowardly sold himself to the BBC in their hit-piece “A Very British Cult”.
- He was toxically jealous of Paul and Lighthouse, because Melissa had found people she truly respected and loved because they earned it and didn’t merely demand it as Martin did and does.
- For once Melissa was actually receiving the care, support, encouragement, mentorship, dare we say LOVE that she so sorely needed for years, and never received from her parents.
- This was confirmed by Dagmar (Melissa’s mother), who said, “This is what we ought to have taught you”, when Melissa shared what she was learning through Lighthouse and Paul S. Waugh.
- Rather than admit his own weaknesses, limitations, abusive nature towards his own daughter, and support her getting the fundamental support she needed, Martin decided to try and emotionally and spiritually destroy Melissa and those who were parenting her in the way he never had.
- Martin sought to humiliate Melissa, slander her on national television and a global podcast, by outright lying about her childhood and his abusive relationship toward her. This is what psychopathic toxic parents will always do — if they cannot possess their child as a piece of property, they would rather murder their own child than let anyone else have them.
- Not least of all, Martin has conveyed to Melissa that he wants nothing to do with Jesus Christ, the only true and ultimate source of her (and anyone’s) healing, recovery, and love, eternally and infinitely beyond what any individual or community can ever do.
5. The fake victim: Martin Francis has learned to play the victim in order to try and get whatever he wants.
- He would manipulate his own daughters during his divorce to try and win their sympathy and get them on his side.
- Just like the BBC does in all their other hit pieces, they used Martin Francis, who presented himself as the victim, when in reality he is the manipulative abuser.
- Martin is such a fake whistleblower that he even affected his accent to sound more upper-class in the BBC’s programme! There is nothing genuine or honest about the person who whored himself out to the BBC to throw his own daughter (and more so his own soul) under the bus.

3. Targeted from the Outside: How The Establishment Persecutes us Christians
Smear to Destroy: Who Would Do Such a Thing?
“Whoever hates disguises himself with his lips and harbours deceit in his heart; when he speaks graciously, believe him not, for there are seven abominations in his heart; though his hatred be covered with deception, his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.” — Proverbs 26:24–26
Smear campaigns aim to destroy a person’s reputation, relationships, work and livelihood.
They do so through a co-ordinated pattern of distortion, omission, insinuation and falsehood.
Smearers deliberately suppress or hide evidence to warp the public record completely.
Smearers can target anyone: a child, parent, employee, business owner, whistleblower, public figure or community.
Yet we almost never ask: who starts the smear campaign?
This week, we have seen examples in people such as Jeffrey Leigh-Jones, “Erin” and her family, and Martin Francis.
All of these people are bitter, jealous, coercively controlling, revengeful or self-obsessed.
Cain. Jezebel. Judas. These demoniac smearers are everywhere in the Bible.
A smearer may be a controlling family member, a scorned partner with unrequited love, an online troll seeking attention, or someone in a position of power and influence who is desperate to control the public record about themselves.
Ultimately, however, those who start a smear are often the most foolish. They often have no real power, credibility, reach or ability to spread their demonic lies and ruin someone else’s reputation.
Smearers are also parasites: they need an individual or organisation with perceived—yet totally baseless—credibility, such as the BBC or another mainstream media outlet, even a bottom-of-the-barrel tabloid like the Daily Mail.
They will sell their souls to publish their smear to the public.
Yet they are the ultimate victims: they lie, take blood money from these larger organisations, and continue living hollow, lonely, cowardly, bitter and cynical lives.
Then, when the larger organisation is exposed sooner or later, guess who takes the fall?
That’s right: the toxic, parasitic smearers.
They thought an individual or organisation would help them leverage their false allegations into a smear campaign.
In truth, that individual or organisation used them to sell a newspaper or boost ratings for a dying media company.
The BBC illustrates this clearly: it has used the likes of Jeffrey, Erin, Martin Francis and others to push a hit piece disguised as a documentary on BBC Three, the BBC’s cheap and dirty ‘entertainment’ channel.
As we increasingly hold the BBC totally and unequivocally accountable for broadcasting such a heinous hit piece about a small Christian purpose-built community scaling globally, who do you think the BBC will blame for getting its facts wrong?
Who will the BBC blame for lying to the British and global public?
Who will the BBC blame for abusing the licence-fee money entrusted to a group of so-called journalists?
That’s right: the BBC will try to throw its sources—the parasitic smearers—completely under the bus.
Rest assured, we will never let that happen. The blood is well and truly on the BBC’s hands: on every team member behind “A Very British Cult”, on the previous and current Directors-General, beyond them on the Board of Directors, and beyond that on the UK Government itself.
Watch this space.
You can read Paul S. Waugh’s full statement on why this was done with the full backing of the Establishment here.
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

This is an eye-opening and devastating post! Firstly it’s disgusting what Martin Francis not only did to Mel as his own daughter growing up, but what he did through the BBC and what he continues to do.
Martin Francis was portrayed in such a positive light by the BBC that The Guardian’s Lucy Mangan wrote, “You can only hope that one day soon Martin’s love for his daughter will be similarly rewarded.”
Clearly Ms Mangan has no idea how abusive he is, because she assumes the BBC would’ve picked this up in the thousands of pages of transcripts and hours of audio recordings. The BBC had the evidence and ignored it, because it didn’t suit their fictional “kidnapping, brainwashing cult story”.
Meanwhile I appreciate how it’s highlighted what it means to put God front, centre and first in our lives. To be waking up each morning focused on Him is a very real, pragmatic and powerful acid test of our faith.
Lastly I found it really valuable to learn more about the pathology of a smearer. It is a dark and evil pathology behind such behaviour. It’s so dark that we don’t want to believe that people are capable of this, let alone those we know! But that’s where truth and reality can become incredibly inconvenient – to see the darkest side of humanity in those we thought loved and cared for us – or at the very least respected us!
Whilst we at Lighthouse are prepared to call out and shine light on dark and toxic behaviour… the BBC will actively encourage it. An example today is yet another former BBC staff member was convicted for abusive behaviour: Former BBC River City actor Iain Robertson jailed for nine years after being found guilty of rape and assaults.
Horrid, horrid, horrid!! Hearing about Martin Francis upset me, but, so sadly, I understand it. He has no love in his heart, and his daughter was an object to him. He would rather destroy her if he cannot own her. I just do not want to comprehend that reality.
I value the courage and valour of Melissa in sharing her family reality with the world. No wonder the BBC had material. These kinds of people are chomping at the bit to work their evil through the BBC. I agree, Jezebel and Cain spirits.
What is powerful here is the community support Melissa has to bring such a thing to the world. We all need a healthy community!
From experiencing and seeing smear attacks and family members selling out against family members to prop up their pride and ego, it’s true how consistent patterns strongly emerge. Those who take part in such things are never willing to sit down and openly discuss and debate face to face with those they smear, accuse and make allegations against. They are never willing to face the public light of direct scrutiny and hide behind others, press, media, those willing to step into the spotlight instead of them. They always play the victim and refuse to accept any responsibility or awareness of their own faults. They lack humility in the extreme and are full of hubris. And, one I find so fascinating is that everything they project onto their targets is actually a description of who they are in themselves, their traits and their wrongdoing. They cannot accept to see it in themselves and so they project it out onto others as a means of avoiding recognition of it in themselves. It’s tragic and underlying it all is their diabolical relationship with the truth when it least favour them. Let us pray for them as they require much of God’s grace and help.
This is a very hard hitting and very sad. God bless Melissa Diechler. It’s atrocious how how Martin Francis is portrayed as the doting dad on A Very British Cult when his divorce shows how little care he had towards her and her wellbeing! This very much ties into how smear campaigns are conducted in the mainstream media.
The way Martin Francis is portrayed by the BBC is so different from the reality of who he is as a person and how he treated his own family, especially Melissa, with all the abuse she experienced. Most shocking is how the BBC broadcast his lies and didn’t even try to figure out what the truth was. That shows, once again, their diabolical agenda to control people and keep them away from their potential. Thank you for shining more light on the facts and exposing who Martin Francis really is beyond the BBC’s propaganda.
Thank you also for explaining more about toxic, parasitic smearers and who they are as people. Looking at Martin Francis and the way he smeared his own daughter, and how the BBC embraced that, believing they could get away with it, shows how demonic they are. The BBC, with its so-called leadership board, definitely has a lot to repent for. Justice will prevail, and we will continue to hold them accountable for their wrongdoing.
God bless.
Wow, just reading the details of the court case alone was enough to just thank God that Melissa is here and away from the extremely toxic and caustic treatment that she had to endure at the hands of Martin Francis. If he can treat his own daughter in this way and be unrepentant and instead continue in his toxic abuse, I thank God she found her way to the Father, One who will never ever treat her in this way.
I hope that Martin Francis one day comes to see how vile his heart is and takes responsibility for his abhorrent actions.
Powerful update. Thank you for sharing this. I feel angry, yet saddened, that someone who calls themselves a dad can do such disgusting and diabolical things to a young girl who only wants to be loved by her dad. I pray for Mel. Thank you for opening up to us and sharing some of your traumatic times with Martin…
I value how you are helping us to understand what a smear campaign looks and feels like, so that we, as the public, can and will identify one moving forward. To sell yourself for a few pounds, as Judas did, selling Jesus to the Sanhedrin…
Give ourselves to God, and love Him with our heart, mind, soul and strength; that is the only way to go…Amen
God bless Melissa. What an awful position for someone to be in, especially with that person being a role model in her life. I pray for Melissa’s continued healing and for those who have perpetrated and perpetuated this abuse — not only against her but against anyone who has found themselves in a similar situation — to be held fully accountable. I can personally attest to experiencing similar situations in my own life.
Thank you for sharing about smear campaigns, what they truly are, and how we can all be susceptible to them. They do not only come through the media, but can also appear in many other forms, particularly within families and so-called friendship groups. There must be deep healing, restoration, regeneration, and recompense from this.
Thank you for this very timely and powerful update. May God bless and be with us all. x x
OK… and who is the real cult? Reading about the conduct of Martin Francis is horrifying and deeply upsetting. This is not only how someone treated his own daughter. This is how he then covered up, lied about it, tried to ruin her and whore himself to the BBC in the process. That screams cult of one… i.e. the person who wants to be worshipped and idolised instead of wake up to the reality that his daughter is not his property and he needs to grow up emotionally. He typifies the BBC sources… fake, deceptive, willing to say and do anything for the fame and possibly pay day, all at the expense of his own daughter. God bless you Mel, God is with you!
Clearly The BBC will spin anything to get at the agenda they want to push and not report the actual facts. Martin Francis is just one of these tools which The BBC will use and throw away as soon as that job is done.
I fear for the cast and crew of A Very British Cult as I have little doubt that The BBC will sacrifice them when it suits them. When the evidence becomes so overwhelmingly clear and well known that The BBC can not hide anymore. I also expect to see something like;
‘rouge journalists acted beyond their remit’
or ‘mistakes were made, but now those accountable have been dismissed’
or ‘The BBC apologises for any offence people may have taken from the broadcast of A Very British Cult’.
They will try and broadcast this once at 1am on a Sunday morning in a regional news program, so they can say ‘We apologised’ while actually not apologising and doing it at a time no one would notice anyway!
None of these ‘get out of jail’ cards are going to work this time, and we will not let the truth go unknown or ignored.
