Lighthouse Daily – 23rd March 2026
“The person you want to honour is the person who takes the risk to tell the truth when there’s something to lose. It’s not the person who steals information from a company. It’s the person who has access to information while doing their job and realises something is wrong—something that hurts people—and then speaks up. It’s not the person who breaks into your house and steals your laptop because they want to tell your secrets. For us, those aren’t whistleblowers.”
– Michael McCray, co-founder and managing director of the Whistleblower Summit & Film Festival
Good day everyone,
In a world that is drenched in scamming, deception, corruption, misinformation and disinformation, whistleblowers have a very necessary and sacred responsibility. These are the brave individuals who are willing to call out the truth where no one else is, and they do so at immense personal cost to themselves. As opposed to fake whistleblowers, who lie, deceive and then have to pay a personal cost for their lies. That does not legitimise their wrongdoing.
The greatest whistleblower of all time, is Jesus Christ Himself. And he paid the ultimate price with His life. Many men and women before and since have likewise chosen not to ignore their conscience and stand for truth, for justice, for righteousness in efforts to protect humanity. From Christ’s Apostles who were willing to share the Gospel and be brutally murdered for it, right up to modern times with the likes of Edward Snowden and Julian Assange.
But what if there was a fake whistleblower? How would you know they were a fake?
A fake whistleblower is arguably one of the most dangerous individuals in existence. Why? Because they parade as an angel of light, claiming to be acting in the name of truth, in defence of truth, and often (overtly or not) in the name of public interest. It is impossible to be a fake whistleblower effectively without appearing to be genuine, wholesome and righteous. They have to, otherwise no one would believe them. Yet their true motives are the opposite. They are driven by toxic pride, seeking to gain significance at the cost of others, while in fact abusing, manipulating and weaponising the truth against humanity for their own ends.
One of the ways that fake whistleblowers achieve this delusion, is by lending from the credibility of a believable source, or a credible organisation that has the reputation for always telling the truth – even if that reputation itself is fake. The BBC is one such example of an organisation that has built its reputation to be trustworthy, while provably being anything but that.
Satan was the first fake whistleblower; competing with God and poisoning humanity with his lies. And there have been countless fake whistleblowers through the ages, always with the intention to kill and destroy the true, legitimate whistleblowers. Judas blew the fake whistle on Christ, and fell to his own demise as a result of his betrayal.
Yet fake whistleblowers are almost impossible to detect if you don’t know what you’re looking for. They sound like a real whistleblower, act like one, talk like one, even seem to suffer personal cost like one too… but they aren’t and do not. Normally, the very people who fake whistleblow, are the very same individuals who cry victim and virtue signal to cover up their own wrongdoing and irresponsibility.
This is why we have chosen to use our personal experiences to educate you about what the difference is between a real whistleblower and a fake one. We will be doing so through case studies of the fake whistleblowers who sought to destroy Lighthouse, starting with the case of Jeffrey Leigh-Jones.
👉 You can read more about this awful case here.
In due course, we will also be sharing other case studies including ones on Dawn Ingram, Martin Francis, Richard Thomas and Joanne Holmes. These are some of the most pernicious, vindictive and dark fake whistleblowers who attacked us and tried to destroy us in vain; they failed miserably by the grace and protection of God Almighty.
God bless,
Paul S. Waugh, Chris Nash and Shaun Cooper

Thank you for this powerful update. Huge amount of reflection to do in my own right, but I pray for everyone involved here that they come to know our Lord Jesus Christ 🙏 amen.
This is another stunner of an update, especially after yesterday’s announcement of “Targeted”. Every fake whistleblower will be quaking in their shoes, knowing that they cannot escape accountability and consequences for their heinously destructive wrongdoing. God have mercy on them.
This is a substantial update and a significant distinction. When the likes of Jo Holmes and Richard Thomas were trolling on Reddit, one of the most deluded and bizarre things I saw posted online was how they referred to themselves as activists! They wanted to somehow be heroes with the most destructive of intentions. “Fake whistleblower” nails this as a way to describe those who have left Lighthouse and then looked to destroy us through the media.
Fake whistleblowers are most dangerous when convincing millions to believe them, but what’s most dangerous to them is the truth. I look forward to this being revealed through these posts.
I appreciated the quote at the beginning. Fake whistleblowers want the glory without the the true cost that a real whistleblower has to suffer. Although they will always suffer the consequences when their lies come to light, that’s not what they planned and is everything they hoped to avoid. The more I think on it, aside from the obvious pernicious deceit and destructive intentions, there’s also something hugely immoral and dishonourable to intentionally being a Fake Whistleblower on top of that. It’s like someone pretending to be a war veteran, seeking significance and wearing someone else’s medals, without having gone through the pain, suffering and trauma of war. It’s despicable.
Thank you for this education on fake v genuine whistle blowers. I look at what the likes of Edward Snowden and Julian Assange went through and the sacrifices they made, including the hatred and the way the mainstream manipulated what they did to suit their own agenda and it is a world away from those who are fake whistle blowers who want self glory.
Thank you for showing these crucial insights about fake whistleblowers.
They can cause significant and at times severe harm, which makes it essential to understand how to recognise them and how to protect ourselves against their influence. By staying anchored in truth, we create clarity, making it easier to discern who is genuine and who is not.
Standing firmly for truth not only exposes deception but also ensures that those fake whistleblowers are seen for what they are and can be held accountable.
Wow yes, Christ is the greatest whistleblower of all time! Thank you. Thank you also to Micheal McCray for highlighting that honour is appropriate for the true whistleblower. And the LORD says in Proverbs 12:22 that those who deal faithfully, those who tell the truth, are His delight 🙏
Thank you. This update is such an eye-opening read. Understanding the difference between a fake and a true whistleblower is critical. Not just to see it in others, but to see it first and foremost in ourselves.
As Jesus Christ helped us understand, as you have shared, as the first whistleblower;
Matthew 7:3-5
Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
Such an insightful and educational update, thank you, God bless
The fakery of the mainstream media is dawning on me, how they can mislead by using something that is essential in a broken system filled with corruption and mismanagement, and that is whistleblowing. I can see the tactic of presenting something in line with their agenda, scapegoating two parties, the alleged perpetrators and the so called whistleblower, which they may even shape or create themselves.
This feels crucial to understand, as it informs how I look at other areas, for example how the government can use the protection of children as a reason to introduce surveillance laws, such as recent online protection measures. It feels like the same line of thinking.
Very powerful to know a fake whistleblower from a real one. As the difference appears subtle, but has massive consequences for the truth and trust in organisations and people.
