Lighthouse Daily – 7th August 2026…
Good day, fellow citizens and brothers and sisters in Christ,
Today’s update is about an 11-minute read.

- Testing Our True Ability to Love As Christ Commanded
- Richard Thomas and the Weaponisation of the Internet
- Crushing Our Imagination Kills The Human Spirit
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

Testing Our True Ability to Love As Christ Commanded
“But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,” — Matthew 5:44
What is the ultimate test of our desire, ability and willingness to choose to love?
Is it when things are easy and going well for you? Or is it when faced with extreme levels of adversity and persecution?
What makes Christianity stand out head and shoulders above any other worldview is what Christ commands us to do when it comes to facing our enemies.
The video below explains more about the true meaning of the commandment to love our enemy (Matthew 5:44).
As Christ’s words (and primarily who He is) reveal, the true test of our love comes with how we treat our enemies, not just those who like us.
It’s not about feeling warm and fuzzy towards them, but it is about how we choose to respond to their attempts to slander, character assassinate or even murder.
In coming updates, we will be exploring more about what it means to love as Christ commanded us, and as He does, especially when it is excruciatingly hard.
2. Targeted from Within: The Greatest Threats to the Body of Christ from Inside
Richard Thomas and the Weaponisation of the Internet: A Digital Assault on Lighthouse Global, Its Associates and Their Families
“Jesus then asked him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Legion,” for many demons had entered him.” — Luke 8:30
Everything we have covered about Richard Thomas so far leads to the far more serious question: what did he do when his attempt to blackmail Lighthouse Global for a refund failed?
Despite being encouraged to do so by Paul S. Waugh and Lighthouse Global, he did not pursue and establish a legal course of action to try to obtain an undue refund of £25,000 through the courts.
Instead, Richard Thomas turned to the dark recesses of his soul and the internet.
Specifically, a forum-hosting website known to host paedophile forums… Reddit.1
Together with ex-Lighthouse Associate Elect Joanne Holmes and other anonymous predatory trolls, he created and moderated an anti-Lighthouse Reddit forum.
This became a vitriolic vehicle for a sustained smear and hate campaign against Paul S. Waugh, Lighthouse and individual Associates.
In their malicious hit piece, A Very British Cult, the BBC described this Reddit group as being “highly critical of Lighthouse”.
Let’s examine the reality behind this supposed “highly critical” group…
Lighthouse’s extensive evidence, which has been acknowledged and acted upon by numerous police forces, proves this was, in reality, an online cesspit environment used to:
- maliciously attack reputations,
- attempt to destroy livelihoods,
- target individuals and their families,
- circulate private information,
- discuss the whereabouts of Associates and shockingly their children, as well as encourage media attacks.
The online group’s aim was to ultimately destroy Lighthouse with relentless urgency and intensity through a “media and social media onslaught”.
This, dear reader, is unmistakably a micro-death cult…
An entity obsessed with the reputational murder and destruction of Paul S. Waugh and Lighthouse Global, including inciting numerous death threats on Paul and the Lighthouse team.
The Chelmsford Police Force, after investigating this (Crime ref: 42 / 71140 / 22), were so concerned about the type of sinister characters and vitriolic content on this forum that PC Sam Topche asked Richard Thomas to shut it down. Mr Thomas refused, and has been paying the price every day since.
As accountability for online predators has increased, we will continue placing the evidence before the public, the authorities, employers, and all relevant parties. We will be ensuring that Richard Thomas and his fellow predatory trolls will be held accountable for their murderous atrocities online.
The below post, which Dawn Ingram claimed was written by Gareth Bourne (as Reddit User Impossible-Change488), overtly stating the group’s maliciously destructive intentions, came shortly after the first Daily Mail article about Lighthouse and almost a year before the BBC’s fake documentary A Very British Cult was released:
NB: This post was made over 4 years ago… Apparently we at Lighthouse Global and all our work are supposed to be dead and buried by now… a long time ago even?!?
Yet, we’re stronger than ever.
We’re closer than ever to God.
We’re clearer than ever.
Now the world is about to find out who Mr Bourne is, along with everyone else who was stupid, foolish and hateful enough to try to destroy us and our work at Lighthouse.
Assuming that Dawn Ingram was correct in her assertion made on 28th March 2023 at the High Court, then it’s no coincidence that Gareth Bourne, as a dyed-in-the-wool atheist, was one of the most hateful, dark, vindictive and anti-Christ predatory trolls on Reddit.
In line with Christ’s commandment to love our enemies, we pray for him and the redemption of his soul.
This leads us to the central issue we will soon examine in detail: How Richard Thomas weaponised the internet in an attempt to destroy the people and organisation he had been a major beneficiary of.
Mr Thomas cannot separate himself from the murderous, abusive posts on Reddit, which he deliberately helped create and moderate.
Over the coming weeks we will place the Reddit posts (and the authors themselves) under the microscope: the hatred, intimidation, racialised abuse, threats, harassment, targeting of families, efforts to locate people, attacks on livelihoods and attempts to recruit others into the campaign.
Not selectively, but evidentially — post by post, person by person.
The anonymous masks will come off, and the public will see what these people wrote, what they incited, and what their employers thought when they realised they were funding online predators.
3. Targeted from the Outside: How The Establishment Persecutes us Christians
Crushing Our Imagination Kills The Human Spirit
“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” — Genesis 1:1
What is the fourth human endowment, and the one that both differentiates us most from animals, yet aligns us most with God?
It’s the human endowment of creative imagination.
Whilst God is the Ultimate Creator of all creation, He made us in His image to be able to create like Him, albeit at an infinitely lower level. Yet we can still honour God through utilising our God-given imagination and creative abilities to create value in line with His will and for His Glory.
Once again, the top-tier Establishment has educated us out of understanding this unique human endowment to mean little more than creating pretty pictures and writing songs.
In our extensive body of empirical research, Paul S. Waugh has spoken extensively about the incredible gift of imagination with great depth and pragmatism.
Here are just a select few quotes to demonstrate this.
1) 1st April 2020 — Paul S. Waugh presenting the first function of imagination:
“What is the first function of imagination? … the beginning of imagination at the most fundamental level… is asking powerful questions.”
2) 23rd November 2023 — Paul S. Waugh on how imagination relates to creation through the law of cause and effect:
“99% of everything you want to achieve in your life effectively is based on causation…
…as soon as you make this clear… the picture you want for your life now is in your hands…
…now imagination really does have a place…
The reason why most people don’t have a great imagination is because they don’t use it… because they don’t understand they are causers.”
3) 29th September 2024 — Paul S. Waugh on the indispensability of imagination:
“Imagination is indispensable to using everything else that we have, every endowment we have, every element we have, that we’re created in, in God’s image, to… take seemingly disconnected things, look inside our own souls, outside our own souls, inside our own doors and outside our own doors, and bring them together in a complete solution/opportunity/value potential and its relative probability and ultimate transactional outcome.”
4) 7th May 2025 — Paul S. Waugh explains how creative imagination synergises with the other human endowments:
“You are made in God’s image with self awareness and God’s image with a conscience, with an independently willing choice between stimulus and response. You have therefore the ability to innovate and create and and imagine scenarios, including problems and their solutions.”
5) 7th May 2025 — Paul S. Waugh explains how creative imagination applies to problem solving and problem prevention:
“Imagination is not all about creating our stories or drawing pretty pictures. It’s anticipating problems before they happen.
…And when they do happen, or before they do, finding a solution…
By way of imagining possible problems, you’re eliminating them before they start.
…therefore solutions, therefore opportunities, therefore value, therefore love.”
6) 20th May 2021 — Paul S. Waugh expressing how most people abuse their imaginations:
“Instead of using our imaginations to solve problems, we use our imaginations to talk ourselves out of it, we use our imaginations to minimise our problems so we won’t have to solve them. We use our imagination to justify it. We use our imagination to blame-shift.”
The Establishment has sought to crush the human endowment of imagination and its fruit of creativity.
The compulsory mainstream education system has been a significant vehicle to achieve this.
Millions recognise that the school system does not actively promote and inspire the imaginations and creativity of children in preparation for their adult lives.
This widespread recognition of the problem is evidenced by one of the most popular TED Talks given over 20 years ago was one by Sir Ken Robinson, ‘Do Schools Kill Creativity?’
This 2-minute excerpt makes the point that we are actually educated out of our creativity.
Millions have watched this presentation, from teachers and students through to business leaders.
Yet in all this time, with all these views and all these observations, problems being made, nothing has fundamentally changed for the better. If anything, it is getting worse, much worse.
This is because of a lack of resourcefulness and initiative that is rooted in a lack of creative imagination.
The tragic irony is that the problem itself becomes the restrainer to solving the problem.
Neglected, undeveloped and subsequently weak imaginations mean a lack of global solutions being conceived and implemented at a time when imagination is needed more than ever.
Lighthouse Global, however, have been working on such solutions, and we’ve been attacked horrendously by the top-tier Establishment.
Even before we came to see the reality of Christ, we were actively researching ways to ignite the human spirit and to infuse the creative imagination of everyday citizens.
In our journey, we found this is only truly possible through God’s Holy Spirit, a breakthrough discovery that was, to say the least, extremely inconvenient at the time.
It turned our inner and outer worlds upside down.
Our growing individual and collective faith in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour led to the onslaught of attacks on us. This Truth, THE Truth, is now setting us free, one day at a time. All Glory to God.
Next week we’ll be focusing on the four human intelligences and how they are being attacked and crushed by the top-tier Establishment, all in the name of learning, growth and progress.
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

4th July 2026 – Lighthouse Weekly Update – Correcting the False Record in an Age of Lies and Deceit
This is a very powerful set of updates. On the one hand, Lighthouse Global is literally fighting for the protection and safeguarding of the very essences that make us human. Paul S. Waugh has suffered for this, to persist in his research. Research that’s been not just experiential, but painful, arduous, personal and come at great cost to him.
Then you have people like Richard Thomas fighting to destroy Lighthouse, hiding behind a pseudonym, with his cohorts, spewing out toxic fumes online. And the BBC call that “highly critical”. That makes sense, because this is the same BBC that refused to call Hamas the terrorists they are (and even the British government were willing to call Hamas out as the terrorist group that they are, so that says a lot!)
And what’s the primary first message here? To love our enemies. Not repay evil with evil. A very timely culmination of the lessons underlying these examples. To love with truth and spirit, not vengeance or falsehoods, not to excuse the attacks as the video stated, or to forget them, but to respond in maturity, peacefully, and righteously.
Thank you for this massive update. It is essential to understand what it really means to love our enemy, and that this is not about having a loving, nice and warm feeling, but about doing the right and loving thing.
This is another crucial lesson that we ought to learn in our upbringing and education. I also feel this is closely related to what Ken Robinson said about creativity and why we lose so much of our creativity from an early age. Where is the teaching on love, on God’s love, and on loving ourselves, our neighbours and our enemies? Without these foundations in place, how can we truly be free to focus on creativity?
Richard Thomas is a great example of what happens when someone chooses hate instead of love. I pray that he repents. The comments against Lighthouse in the dirt bin of the internet, Reddit, are really shocking to read, and they clearly show what happens when love is absent.
God bless us all.
Wow, thank you for this update. It was incredible watching that TED Talk by Ken Robinson—it really resonated with me, and I have recently witnessed so much of what he describes.
The Establishment is constantly trying to dumb us down, but, thank God, it can never eradicate the God-given potential within us. It has been an incredibly exciting week learning more about this and beginning to understand just how much potential God has given each of us.
I also really appreciate how this falls right in line with Section One and what we have been learning about loving our enemies. I really appreciated the video shared here, as it helped explain more deeply what that actually means and why it is so difficult. Yet that is precisely what makes it such an ultimate demonstration of love—Christ’s self-sacrificial agape love, which extends even to those who oppose, attack or mistreat us.
And regarding the section on Richard Thomas and the predatory trolls online, we sincerely pray for their repentance—that they will turn to God and genuinely examine the condition of their hearts. Rather than responding with hatred or bitterness, we are called to love them and pray for them, just as Christ commanded us.
What a powerful and challenging lesson this week has been. May God give us the grace to put these things into practice, and may He have grace and mercy on us all.
Thank you! x x
Who in humanity has ever spoken as Jesus has? There are none who have spoken with such divine wisdom, profundity and compassion. He is the Way the Truth and the Life and if we all lived to emulate Him this world would be a totally different place.
It’s because of Christ that, while Mr Thomas herded together and gave platform to such vile trolls as Mr Bourne, I will pray for them all. I certainly do not like them or feel any affection to them but I will love them as my Lord commands me to and I do genuinely wish that they could repent and their souls be saved and transformed in Christ.
Ken Robinson saying that our education institutions are effectively educating people OUT of creative capacities is especially revealing. Either the educators are incredibly stupid for doing so, or they’re doing that on purpose!
I remember watching this Ken Robinson video approximately a decade ago. Then I thought he had a very powerful point and that it was just a case that those in charge didn’t know how to implement such ideas on a national scale. I had no idea that our creativity was deliberately destroyed so that we would be able to be controlled by the top tier establishment
I really appreciate how today’s post has brought together love, confrontation of enemies, imagination and creativity. There’s a richness and a depth to what’s being shared that far surpasses all the mainstream media smears that can all be tracked back to provable lies from a small group of hateful people.
Yet I appreciate this group, the likes of Richard Thomas, Joanne Holmes and Gareth Bourne have all been used by the global Establishment. They are the victims at the end of the day… they tried to destroy us and our work, but their efforts have completely backfired because what they tried to do was based on hate and vengeance, not the love of Christ.
These people are distinctly anti-Christ, they’re not praying for us as we pray for them…
Imagination is absolutely crucial to so everyone’s life. Just to be able to decide what to do next needs imagination!
The problem is without a conscience as described earlier in the week, that imagination can be corrupted by demonic intent and you have the results that Richard Thomas and Reddit are demonstrating. If God is not involved at the centre of our learning, doing and imagination through the endowment of conscience then what we invent and imagine will be used for harm and not for good.
Such an important update. There is so much here that we all need to take in and understand, not just for ourselves, but for the next generation. We need to learn for ourselves how to be educated and what it means. Where that education starts is with loving God. Why? Because He loves us and made us in His image so that we could grow and learn for ourselves and make righteous choices.
What these people on Reddit do is not make righteous choices; they make wrongteous choices, ones that hurt and destroy good people. The fact that Mr Thomas was part of this site, I pray for him…
What Mr Robinson said about children having tremendous talents and that we squander them is so true. I’ve known children with such imaginations, yet when they get to school, those imaginations are demolished, squashed, all because it does not fall in line with the establishment’s educational system. It’s no wonder that, as adults, our fourth endowment is dormant.
Thank you for both of the videos…wow, the first one on loving your enemies, has absolutely changed my way of seeing this scripture. I did not grow up in a forgiving household or a household that did not make love conditional. But as Christ has begun His work in me, learning to give, in this case, loving our enemies, is something that I now feel the capacity is growing for.
Richard Thomas and his ilk, made us into enemies and did not care for us with even a morsel of grace. His actions were disgraceful and only he knows why he thought his actions were worth it. The truth has still come up and revealed his true character and the lengths he would go to continue standing by his lies.
Powerful update. Thank you. Learning to love our enemies even when we are attacked, exposing the serious consequences of weaponising the internet, and recognising creative imagination as a vital God given human endowment. The message that particularly stands out to me is that we are called to respond to opposition with truth, love and accountability, while developing the God given abilities that enable us to create solutions and generate value. So much here is both challenging and genuinely encouraging.
To see a human being made in the image of God with so much potential and creativity to wield that for evil purposes, demonic purposes “we are legion”, shows not only the nature of the attack against us but the state of our world that this coordinated attack and media smear campaign was allowed to happen. Even encouraged.
