Lighthouse Daily – 6th August 2026…
Good day, fellow citizens and brothers and sisters in Christ,
Today’s update is about a 12-minute read.
In this update:
- The More We Have of God’s Love, the More We Want To Give
- Why Did Richard Thomas Not Pursue a Legal Refund Claim?
- The Establishment Creates and Controls Dependent Citizens
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

The More We Have of God’s Love, the More We Want To Give
“But you, beloved, building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life.” — Jude 20-21
Jesus Christ made it abundantly clear that the first and greatest commandment is for us to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength (Mark 12:30).
Last week we shared how God first loves us, and in order to be able to increase our ability to love Him, we need to openly receive His love.
This week has been building on this: to increase our capacity and capability to love based on God’s Living Word. We’ve been focusing on how we can grow in our love as His child.
We’ve looked at Agape Love as the highest form of love. We’ve presented the value of thanking Him for His love. And then yesterday we presented the Father-Child Love Dynamo that provides an upward spiral in our capability and capacity to love ourselves, each other, and God Himself.
Why are we doing this? We’re doing this because the more we learn about and experience what it means to love truly, in line with God’s Living Word, the more we will naturally want to love God. This is not because of negative and fearful obligation, but from the joy of giving, because we can and want to love with all our heart, mind, soul and strength.
So as you go through the day, be sure to keep thanking God as our Father, and appreciating how loving Him back is enabling you to love everyone and everything more than ever before.
2. Targeted from Within: The Greatest Threats to the Body of Christ from Inside
Why Did Richard Thomas Not Pursue a Legal Refund Claim?
“Do not hastily bring into court, for what will you do in the end, when your neighbour puts you to shame?” — Proverbs 25:8
If Richard Thomas genuinely believed he had an enforceable legal right to the refund of his £25,000 investment in himself, the obvious course was to issue a formal claim and prove that entitlement before a court.
Bear in mind the following facts:
- Richard Thomas’ £25,000 investment was in himself through the Lighthouse Associate Elect Programme. It was not an investment in Lighthouse International Group or any other Lighthouse organisations.
- Mr Thomas was unable to keep up with the minimal commitments necessary to benefit from the lowest level of the Programme because of his personal situation (ie his toxic and destructive wife trying to do whatever she could to hamper her husband’s efforts to grow into a better man).
- Lighthouse did not withdraw its offer to help Mr Thomas and did what it could to support him through his personal challenges.
- Paul S. Waugh came to Mr Thomas initially to offer him a refund on compassionate grounds, not the other way round.
- Mr Thomas ignored multiple offers of this compassionate refund for months (one that he was not legally entitled to).
- Mr Waugh offered to meet Mr Thomas to agree a way forward with an unwarranted compassionate refund.
- Mr Thomas declined.
- Suspicions grew that Mr Thomas’ wife (Antonia Brider-Thomas) was involved in the hate and smear campaign against Lighthouse and Paul S. Waugh. Suspicions that were later realised to be well founded in truth.
- The refund offer was suspended until an investigation into Mr Thomas’s wife was concluded.
Why didn’t Mr Thomas take the legal course of action?
Richard Thomas didn’t go down the legal route because he had no legal grounds. Instead, he turned to the Daily Mail and vitriolic predatory trolls in a bitter attempt to try and destroy Paul S. Waugh and Lighthouse Global.
Mr Thomas had received years of mentoring and support, including months of pro bono work, and was therefore not entitled to a refund, which makes his ignoring Paul S. Waugh’s compassionate refund offer to him all the more utterly foolish. It would be comparable to a final year university student demanding the return of 3 years of tuition fees because their toxic partner was selfishly stopping them from attending lectures, pressuring them to leave, trolling online and then going to the media in an attempt to destroy the university when they did not bend to their blackmail. This is who and what we are dealing with here.
Rather than resolve the dispute respectfully or pursue a legal claim, Mr Thomas became increasingly hateful and hostile. Together with his wife’s closest friend and former Lighthouse Associate Elect Joanne Holmes, they created and moderated the anti-Lighthouse Reddit group. Reddit is a platform known for its abhorrent and child-abusing content.
What Mr Thomas and Ms Holmes presented as a support forum was in fact a mask for intimidation, personal targeting and threats, racial abuse, and declaring efforts to utterly destroy Lighthouse’s reputation and income. A prime example being the comparison of Lighthouse to COVID-19, with two Lighthouse Associates being labelled as the “Indian Variant” of the disease.
We will be publishing the full scope and scale of the online abuse that was posted on Reddit, along with the hateful souls behind the intense vitriol. In the meantime, you can see more evidence on the Lighthouse Global Predatory Troll Assault & False Accusation Register.
Along with the thousands of abhorrent messages and threats included Ms Holmes, a primary school teacher formerly of Chipping Hill Primary School, doxing the whereabouts of Mr Waugh’s children online and to a known criminal that Ms Holmes was conspiring with, Jon Breen, who said he would “scour the regions”.
Richard Thomas did not attempt to prove his alleged entitlement in court, because he simply could not. He had no moral or legal standing. So, Mr Thomas attempted to win the dispute through blackmail and public pressure based on slanderous lies, along with the distortion of the public perception of truth instead. That distinction goes directly to his dark and degenerate character.
The question is… what exactly has Richard Thomas achieved through this all? Has he improved his relationship with his wife? Is he a better father? Is he a better person? Is he more or less employable?
We will be exploring all of this in future updates.
It is a stark warning to all supposed men who bow down to their abusive partners. Exactly the same thing happened with Jeffrey Leigh-Jones and Dawn Ingram. How is that relationship going now? Dawn Ingram used to batter and belittle Jeffrey Leigh-Jones all the time. How’s that working out for the BBC’s little star Jeff now?
You see… the problem in their lives never was Paul S. Waugh or Lighthouse. In fact, Mr Thomas and Mr Leigh-Jones came to Lighthouse because of the toxicity within themselves, their families and their partners.. and now who is to blame?
Eventually, they will have to look at themselves before God. We pray they do so this side of God’s eternal judgement of us all, laying themselves and their sin before Jesus Christ in genuine repentance.
3. Targeted from the Outside: How The Establishment Persecutes us Christians
The Establishment Creates and Controls Dependent Citizens
“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” — Romans 12:2
The top-tier Establishment has been developing totalitarian control over the masses for centuries.
Those at the top seek total power, position, wealth, and control.
Therefore, they do not want empowered, truth-seeking citizens who are in touch with their unique, God-given human endowments. Dependent citizens are easy to control.
This is why the next human endowment we are profiling that the Establishment is seeking to destroy is such a threat: the human endowment of Independent Will.
Like the other endowments of self-awareness and conscience, Paul S. Waugh has spoken extensively about independent will and what it means in terms of our freedom to choose as well as having the discipline in order to follow through.
9th February 2021 — Paul S. Waugh shared how independent will impacts the way we live:
“Independent will, that’s a human thing. … Independent will is a whole, it’s all of your being invoked – your whole soul, the whole mind, your whole heart, your whole spirit in a decision.”
In this same call, not only did Paul S. Waugh speak about independent will, but he also applied this vital human endowment to the growth and maturity continuum. This continuum was outlined by Stephen R. Covey in The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and describes the progression from dependence to independence and then interdependence.
With this, Paul was able to explain interdependent will and its power to enable us to follow through based on collaborative efforts of mature, independent people working together.
“We’re talking about interdependent will. That can only be that because independence precedes it.
So independent will becomes interdependent will and through interdependence, you can follow through every time you decide to.”
This is why the work of Lighthouse Global is seen as a threat to the top-tier Establishment, because we’re not just empowering individuals to become more independent; we’re empowering citizens to establish purpose-built communities in order to become highly interdependent. This means being interdependent to be able to solve problems. Interdependent in order to live and work as God designed us to be.
This is in complete contrast with how the establishment wants us to exist under their totalitarian control.
In no uncertain terms, it is made clear in the purpose of the education system through the functions set out by its founders.
In his book Weapons of Mass Instruction, former teacher John Taylor Gatto has scrutinised the work of Alexander Inglis, whose 1918 book Principles of Secondary Education, helped shape thinking around the structure and purpose of American high schools in the early 20th century.
Firstly, he made it clear that the education system is set up to divide and conquer:
“Divide children by subject, by age-grading, by constant rankings on tests, and by many other more subtle means, and it was unlikely that the ignorant mass of mankind, separated in childhood, would ever re-integrate into a dangerous whole.”
John Taylor Gatto then observed that the education system was created to serve 6 basic functions which are summarised below:
- The adjustive or adaptive function: to establish fixed habits of reaction to authority.
- The integrating function: to make children as alike as possible so that they conform and will behave predictably.
- The diagnostic and directive function: to set each student’s social role.
- The differentiating function: to sort children by their role and only so far as their destination in the social machine merits.
- The selective function: to tag the “unfit” with “poor grades, remedial placement, and other punishments” clearly enough that their peers will accept them as inferior and effectively bar them from the reproductive sweepstakes.
- The propaedeutic function: to produce an elite group of “caretakers” from a small fraction of the kids who would be quietly taught to watch over, manage and control a population “deliberately dumbed down and declawed!”
In summary, John Taylor Gatto asserts that modern compulsory schooling was not designed simply to educate free, morally responsible, truth-seeking citizens. It was designed to condition obedience, enforce conformity, classify children, restrict development according to assigned social roles, stigmatise the “unfit,” and prepare a small managerial class to oversee a dependent population.
Whilst the education system is training us to be willing slaves to the establishment system, the mainstream media reinforces this. The propaganda and deception tactics employed by the likes of the BBC are further proof that the Establishment wants us to be completely dependent on them for what we believe and how we are reactively being thought (rather than proactively thinking).
This is in sharp contrast to being developed as independent thinkers who can think critically, who can analyse, and who can act in line with their conscience as self-aware human beings made in the image of God.
Tomorrow we’re going to be sharing more on what it means to be loving, further consequences of Richard Thomas’s vitriol, as well as the fourth and final human endowment that the establishment is looking to snuff out.
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

Thank you for a very powerful update. Seeing the 6 aims of the American education system is just beyond sobering. I read earlier how Rockefeller was also heavily involved in the system to indoctrinate people to become workers and not thinkers. In fact he would ensure text books were pro capitalist by only giving grants to professors who would write them in line with his beliefs!
This just reinforces how much we need to seek God by receiving his love first of all. I pray for Mr Thomas to repent and admit the lies he told to the Daily Mail.
Thank you. Reading about the aims of education makes it clear that the establishment has never been primarily interested in helping people discover and develop their God given human potential. Instead, much of the education system is designed to shape people into conformity from an early age. The fact that Principles of Secondary Education is now more than 100 years old shows just how deeply this conditioning has become embedded in society.
It’s striking how little we are taught about ourselves, our character, our conscience, or what it truly means to be human. That reflects an establishment more concerned with preserving power and control than with guiding people towards truth, personal responsibility, and genuine empowerment.
I would be very surprised if Richard Thomas does not know, deep down, what he received at Lighthouse and how he chose to run away from confronting his own internal issues. If he genuinely believed his allegations could stand up to scrutiny, the obvious route would have been to pursue them through the courts. The fact that he did not raises serious questions about his motives and makes it clear that his primary objective was to damage Lighthouse’s reputation rather than seek the truth.
This is powerful. The six points from John Taylor Gatto’s work are fascinating, and I’m really looking forward to learning more. Our children are not being educated according to their human endowments, either at school or at home, and this is exactly why this work is so profound and so needed.
What has been shared in Section 2 regarding Richard Thomas is only a fraction of the malicious myths that were spread about Lighthouse Global and, in particular, Paul S. Waugh. It will be incredibly revealing as we continue to share more on this.
God bless Paul and Lighthouse. Thank you so much. x x
Phew… I’m pretty stunned by this. Reading the excerpt from Mr Gatto’s work, Weapons of Mass Instruction, off the back of the update about Richard Thomas and the attacks on Lighthouse is actually shocking. The devious, devlish orchestration of limiting and literally dumbing down the masses. And then Paul S. Waugh and Lighthouse Global come into the frame to try and instil some desperately needed remedial work to help heal grown-ups from years of Establishment-driven devastation. And WE are the ones who are attacked?! No less with racist, xenophobic, hateful, anti-Christ individuals like Richard Thomas’ cohorts hiding behind pseudonyms?! Tell me the Establishment is a death cult without saying the Establishment is a death cult. Glory and thanks to God almighty Yahweh, for His immense mercy and grace.
Yet more truth and reality in this daily update. It’s significant what the Establishment has done to take over our lives without us even realising through the education system. What’s uncovered by Mr Gatto is all the more revealing given his decades working in the education system. He’s not an external academic or journalist peering their nose into the system, he lived the experience of teaching and he was positively recognised for his teaching abilities.
I see how the mainstream media simply needs to act as a reminder and reinforcer of the indoctrination that we received as vulnerable and easily influenced children. It’s very telling how children’s TV presenters have lifelong careers in broadcasting because of the sentimentality and trust they earned. Yet we see this abused by the likes of Jimmy Savile (face of the BBC Savile Syndrome) and Rolf Harris.
Yet more damning truths when it comes to Richard Thomas. He continues to wear the abuse that was posted and spread on Reddit.
What a contrast with the incredible love that we have access to from our Heavenly Father when open to receiving it…
I’ve been quoting Romans 12:2 all week and also was researching John Taylor Gatto and I do feel his writing is an answered prayer of mine. What a revelation to learn from his expertise, experience and research on the education system and how it, as he wrote, creates an artificial prolonging of childhood. We see that now either with adults who behave like children or adults who have been so badly limited that despite their best efforts still struggle with dependency and infantilisation because of what the school system did to them. That isn’t a question of victimhood but of understanding the problem to claim agency and responsibility.
Also the evil of number 5, selective function of education, cannot be understated.
Those questions must hit hard for Mr Thomas… Has he improved his relationship with his wife? Is he a better father? Is he a better person? Is he more or less employable? And I hope that they do hit hard for him in terms of awakening him as to the folly and foolishness and the destructiveness of the path he has chosen. It’s not too late for him to repent and make things right. Really these are the kinds of questions we ought to ask ourselves before we embark on any course of action in order to ensure we’re on the right course for getting the answer we’d want from them down the line. For me that’s why what you’re sharing in the first section is so important, because it’s through the love of God and loving Him back that we can be transformed and renewed to be better and do better, righteously.
I am reading John Taylor Gatto’s book myself and it’s frightening how he reveals what we have really all been educated into and how this system has been set up to enforce obedience, subjugation and mass control. In fact it’s genius because it’s been done in such as way that we don’t realise it at all and even come out believing we have been educated. Especially with that degree on the wall. But it’s when we come to going through life and hit massive walls in terms of our limitations that we can start to read this book and with horror, realise how true what he’s shining a light on actually is. If reading that doesn’t want to make you homeschool your kids and sue your government, then what will!
There are some things in life that just stop you in your tracks and reading the 6 Principles of Secondary Education, is one of them. This helps me understand and further reinforces that there is an agenda to make and keep us dependent from a very young age. This disgusts me, in Christ, it has made me even more determined to get the upbringing I didn’t get and to continue the work here to become an educated (in what and who I am and what is most important), become informed, morally responsible and a truth-seeker no matter the cost in this satanic system.
The work of John Taylor Gatto is amazing, and it seems to fit almost exactly with my own experience of school as well as what we see in society. The idea of streaming at school is continued with class and wealth after it as a natural follow on mentality.
We also see this control mechanism in miniature in the family as Antonia Brider-Thomas and Richard Thomas exemplify. Through the use of Reddit they try and guid public opinion and thought away from reality and into their own constructed make believe world – for their own intended profit.
Again, we must always come back to God and pray for His guidance and wisdom, so that we can make choices based on Independent Will and not sub-contract our own thinking out to the establishment.
What a powerful point – God should flow from genuinely experiencing His love, rather than from fear, obligation or duty. The points around Richard Thomas are especially significant in showing why truth needs to be examined through the full evidence and context, rather than accepted through someone else’s narrative. The section on education and dependency really struck me too, because it exposes how little we are taught about developing independent thought, conscience and personal responsibility. For me, the whole update reinforces how essential this work is in helping people become more self aware, spiritually grounded and capable of exercising their God given freedom with wisdom and purpose.
Thank you for helping me to see and feel where we are not connected to God, where we are not following Him and the commandments He set out for us because He loves us, and the consequences that arise from that. It comes out in the way we behave towards others, because if we loved God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength, we would not be bearing false witness, as Mr Thomas has. God has shown us in the Bible numerous times how He takes care of those who go against Him.
Using our Independent Will is critical; God gave us this for a reason. He wants us to make our own choices in line with His commandments; He guides us to the right paths, but He allows us to make the choice of which path to take.
Thank you so much for this Update, so much to reflect on and go back over…
