1. Today’s Update
Good day everyone,
Thank you all for your continued support, encouragement, and prayer. We are deeply grateful for the way this community continues to stand, seek truth, and pursue growth in Christ together. Your engagement, messages, and faithfulness are greatly appreciated.
We would like to share more on the case with Kris, Jatinder and Sukhraj but their lawyers have advised that due to there being an appeal to the Crown Court, we’re very limited on what we can share at this time by way of editorial and what we can say on this case.
We will keep today’s written update brief, but we do want to share our appreciation for you all and the part each of you plays in this work.
Today, we draw your attention to section 3 for today’s update, a devastating highlight of how the process is the punishment, even when cleared of wrongdoing. We rest in the hope of section 2 below – the glorious good news of our saviour Jesus Christ.
Tomorrow, we will be sharing a new article with you, asking the question:
“Is the BBC’s Ed Main using your forced licence fee payment to fund his propaganda agenda?”
Please look out for this in the next update.
More soon, and thank you again for standing with us.
God bless
Paul S. Waugh, Chris Nash, Shaun Cooper
2. Daily Prayer
Today’s prayer centres on gratitude, clarity, and the call to live out our faith in action, not just words. It reminds us that Christianity is shown through obedience, love, and building the Body of Christ for God’s purposes. As you listen, may you be encouraged to walk in God’s Spirit with humility, repentance, and deep thankfulness for His calling.

3. Today’s Daily “Citizen/Christian and the Establishment Problem” Example
British Soldier Hounded For Following Establishment Policy
Today’s video is heartbreaking and should alarm anyone who believes the law exists to protect citizens rather than to discipline them into silence.
The experience of former British soldier Sergeant Richie Catterall exposes how, when the state adopts an agenda, it can deploy its vast legal machinery not to pursue justice, but to wear people down. Sent to Iraq to carry out his duties under rules of engagement set by the government, Mr Catterall later found himself relentlessly pursued by that same system, investigated repeatedly for a single incident despite having already been cleared.
What followed was undeniable but lawfare: years of overlapping inquiries, shifting legal standards, and endless scrutiny driven by political and ideological pressure rather than new evidence. Courts eventually ruled that Mr Catterall had acted in self-defence and that some accusations relied on falsified claims. But by then, the damage was irreversible.
A decorated soldier lost his career, his health, and his identity.
He developed PTSD.
He turned to alcohol.
He attempted suicide, and later suffered a stroke.
His family paid the price too. This was not accountability. We fully appreciate that there are soldiers who have abused their position in the army to commit murder and that cannot and ought not to be condoned. However this was clearly not the case with Mr Catterall. He was the subject of an Establishment witchhunt.
The wider warning is clear, when the state decides it needs an example, it doesn’t need a conviction. It only needs process. While the now-Prime Minister was involved in this, it’s not about one front-man. The entire system is at work here. Arrests, investigations, legally organised chaos, and reputational destruction become tools of control. The punishment is the process itself. Yet again we are showing how prevalent this reality is.
Most troubling is that this machinery is often driven by elite legal, political, and institutional actors who face no personal consequences when cases collapse years later. Resources are burned, lives are broken, and yet the system quietly moves on. Learn more about how Lighthouse has been subject to this tortuous experience ourselves and the depths they will go to to protect their lies.
This is how power enforces compliance in modern democracies not always through overt repression, but through bureaucratic exhaustion. The message is implicit but unmistakable: at a whim and the full weight of the state can – and will – be brought to bear, indefinitely. If this can happen to soldiers who acted under government orders, it can happen to anyone.

4. Lighthouse Associates Consensus Feedback
The following is an excerpt from feedback shared with Paul by Lighthouse associates after yesterday’s update regarding the sentencing of our brothers, the planned appeal process, and a wider reflection on sacrificial versus constructive love in Christ.
We are sitting with something far deeper than we realised before—an unveiling of what love actually is, and how little of it we have truly known or lived. What has struck us most powerfully is the distinction between sentimental, instinctive, or even sacrificial love, and something far bigger and weightier: constructive love. A love that builds, forms, disciplines, restores, constructs and creates. A love that does not merely feel or endure, but intentionally brings something into being. Seeing love this way has reshaped how we understand God, ourselves, our work, and the resistance we have faced and continue to in part.
What we are seeing more clearly now is the contrast between constructive and deconstructive forces. Love that seeks to edify versus systems and individuals that erode and try to destroy character, deny responsibility, or exploit suffering for egoic power or self-preservation. Whether in journalism, institutions, families, or courts, the absence of love reveals itself not only in absent-minded cruelty, but also in indifference, delay, deception, distortion, and the refusal to see one’s own role. Experiencing this firsthand—particularly in the courtroom—as Sukh, JT and Kris have shared, has been sobering, painful, and clarifying. We felt the darkness of an environment stripped of rehabilitation, restoration or care, yet we also saw glimpses of truth surfacing despite attempts to undermine or suppress it.
At the same time, we are deeply grateful. Grateful for God’s mercy and restraint, for His protection where outcomes could have been far worse, and for the provision of an appeal process that allows the truth to continue its pursuit which in due course can be revealed to the public. We are thankful for Paulie’s leadership where he does not shy away from hard distinctions, but patiently deconstructs false understandings so that something stronger can be grown or rebuilt in their place. We see constructive love lived out in correction that costs something, in mentorship that fathers rather than deceptively flatters, and in the willingness to suffer so we and others may grow.
Above all, we are realising that God’s constructive love is not optional, vague, or decorative. It is the measure. It is the command. It is the means by which God creates, restores, and reveals Himself through His creation and thereby through us. We are only at the beginning of understanding this, but something is shifting—from confusion to clarity, from reaction to responsibility, from despair to resolve.
We stand together in prayer, gratitude, and commitment—to keep learning, to endure what is required, to build rather than tear down, and to walk this path with one another under Christ, trusting that what is being constructed in truth and love will ultimately stand.
God bless Paulie, Flash, Coops, Kris, JT, Sukh especially, and us all x x x

Day after day after day we see cases of tyranny and injustice. Examples like Richie Catterall show the incredible betrayal those prepared to lay down their life for their country have experienced. The unnecessary pain, suffering and punishment that Mr Caterall experienced through process is inhumane and psychopathic. It’s heartbreaking to see how his life has been destroyed and that’s affected his family as well. Again, all the more reason for Citizen Intervention Global to intervene in such cases and provide the protection that citizens require when being targeted by the establishment.
God bless Mr Caterall. As stated I’m very limited what I can share re the court case, however I’m no longer shocked when I read what Mr Caterall went through.
Honestly, that’s distressing, how they destroyed that faithful soldier’s life, Mr Caterall became a target, but for what? They really are trying to break the system. There’s no area that hasn’t been touched. It’s fascinating how many resources they have when they want to achieve something, at least three times they tried to convict him.
It’s as if they are trying to stop people from going into the army so the country becomes weak. Again and again, there has to be a righteous citizen organisation with the resources to protect the common citizen. The government needs a watchdog.
God bless Mr Catterall, honestly my heart just breaks for him and his family. These wars are extremely traumatising for all as it is, the calculated, concerted pursuit of Mr Catterall after he served his country diligently and as he was trained to, is absolutely sickening, a satanic violation. As we have seen many, many times, the establishment attacks, betrays, uses and discards human beings, for their own gain and benefit and Mr Catterall is another example of this barbaric treatment.
I pray for his healing and thank God that he has had the courage to speak up and share this devastating account.
It’s absolutely devastating what happened with Mr Catterall, it shows just how the Establishment operates. We thank all those who have served to fight for this country and may God bless Mr Catterall and his family, in his recovery and well-being. Thank you.
Truly truly saddening and heartbreaking to hear about the toll and destructive impact of the cruel and remorseless witch hunt that the establishment enacted against Mr Catterall.. The demonic and voracious pursuit of him and relentless desire to destroy him, despite him having been cleared is just evil. My heart goes out to him and his daughter and I pray he is able to heal those non physical wounds in time. What makes this so much worse is how Mr Catterall served and put his life on the line for his country and people for years, making this betrayal all the worse. May God comfort and guide Him.
I’m upset and hurt by what Mr Catteral has been put through. This man fought and was willing to give his life for me, for all of us, and this is how he and others are repaid by the government? Treated as a hostile? As a criminal? Where is the love? Where is the protection, the honour, the dignity? This country desperately needs truly eternal, Christian value and principles brought back to help us have a judicial system, government, and society that is upbuilding, healing, supportive and enabling… not this. This is appalling. God have mercy on this land. Please help us protect and fortify one another for Your Glory.
It is not right that a government can tell you to do one thing one day, and then persecute you for doing it the next!
This is not justice, this is manipulation, threats and control.
This is yet another example of how the establishment can destroy people’s lives. What Richie Catterall was forced to endure is something no one should ever have to experience. He served his country, yet instead of receiving gratitude and support, he was put through relentless battles and immense suffering, suffering that ultimately devastated his life and placed an enormous strain on his family.
He should never have had to fight these battles upon returning to his own country. This case exposes just how destructive and inhumane the current system can be. God bless Mr Catterall and his family.
