Today’s Opening Comments
Good evening everyone. As we discussed in yesterday’s update, we are in the process of launching The Lighthouse and The Lighthouse Citizen newspapers. Today, I want to share with you the specific publications we’re preparing (that will precede the papers) and why this work is so critically important—not just for Christians, but for every citizen.
Listen to the audio of today’s update below:
The Question That Changes Everything: When Does the Establishment Become a Danger?
Let me ask you a very important question tonight: When does the establishment become a danger to us?
We’re not talking about any particular national country. We’re talking about Joe Public. Joe Citizen. Whether religious, whether Christian, or whether purely secular, atheist, agnostic—whatever it may be.
You’ve got the establishment, which is a group of what they would call themselves, and others may call them, the ruling elite. The elite businessmen, elite members of media, elite members of the judiciary, elite members across a wide range of government positions, including government agencies.
And then you have the gophers, the minnows, the stooges, the henchmen and women that work for these people, hoping to be recognised as perhaps one of them, rubbing shoulders, social climbing, or to be accepted by the establishment.
Why would they risk their families, their children, walking around telling lies about other citizens for the benefit of the establishment?
This is the question we must grapple with.
When Are We a Danger to Them?
The answer is devastatingly simple: The establishment becomes a danger to us when we become a danger to them.
What are they concerned about? What are they concerned about in terms of the value they have, the value they can have, the value they have had—the value across the board that they are in control of: human, material, and financial?
What are they in control of? And what do they want to hold and get more of?
How are we a danger to them getting more of it, losing what they have, losing control and losing a handle?
Because there have been times when the citizen has taken over through revolution. So there’s a real concern there for the establishment that this may happen. And if they’re not concerned, they have to at least act like they’re concerned.
There’s a whole game being played here. And the media is the game that communicates that en masse.
The Establishment: The Biggest Cult of All
The state broadcasters like the BBC, the legacy media, the corporate media, the mass media—however you want to call it—does the bidding, the bad bidding, the dirty bidding of the establishment.
So the establishment are a group of citizens, basically, who have most of the advantages, most of the opportunities, most of the power, most of the influence. And they all rub shoulders and keep safe. They intermarry.
The establishment is quite the cult. And lots of little cults that form this cult.
So what do they do? They brand any group like Lighthouse—branded, for want of a term, slandered and smeared—as a ‘group of concern’. A cult.
Why would they do that? Why would they project what they are onto a tiny little group and then spend millions through the system that is owned and run and controlled by the establishment against this tiny little embattled group? It’s in a pre-startup phase. It’s doing research. But then you start to realize: what research are they doing?
We’re doing research that empowers Joe Citizen. That empowers the Christian citizen. That empowers God-given human potential.
What They Don’t Teach: The Greatest Restriction on Life
Do they restrict? Do they control through education? With what they don’t do with families and parents, so that people don’t get the upbringing they need?
Psychologists will tell you that the family is the smallest, most powerful unit of society.
If that is the case, how much money have the BBC spent, for example, or the money that the legacy media get from the public—how much have they spent encouraging families to raise their children very, very well or to set a standard by law to do that? And what would that even mean? What would that entail? What would that involve?
The greatest risk to us by the establishment is when we stand to threaten them and their value and their position and their power in any way.
This is what it boils down to. It really is, as they see it, us and them. Them and us.
There are two factions here. Serious, serious divisions and divides of wealth, power, influence. Everyone knows one another. The media marry into business. Business marries into politics. Some marry into both. Families in the establishment are very, very nepotistic.
What They Never Taught You at School
People do not understand the establishment. They get lost in government. They get lost in stories. They get lost in Prime Ministers. They get lost in elections. They get lost in party politics and right and left and left of right and right of centre.
At the end of the day, if you do not understand the establishment, you can’t look at something and go: Why aren’t they reporting on these thousand heinous things happening here? Why don’t they ever report on this?
Why at school do they never teach us who we are as humans and develop our human potential? Why didn’t they teach me about me, Paul Waugh? Why did I leave school not knowing anything about Paul Waugh at all?
It shocked me.
As I shared in yesterday’s update, we were never taught about our four human endowments: self-awareness, conscience, imagination, and independent will. We were never taught how these work across our body, heart, mind, and spirit.
The bottom line is: there are a lot of ways of finding out how the establishment works. And more often than not, it’s by what they don’t do and what they don’t teach and where they don’t spend money or where they don’t report through their media henchmen, their media propagandists.
Why They Attack Us
The media—that’s what their main interest is: propagandising and destroying through their stooges, their henchmen, their punks. And we’ve had our fair share of that. Catrin Nye now being one.
Why would she risk that? Her whole family, her whole future, telling hundreds of provable lies? Why would she do that? Why would anybody do that?
What are the establishment going to do when we start to hold her accountable to her lies and start to educate the public around that?
Well, they use their establishment’s ways and means to destroy somebody who’s going to educate the public and empower them—to keep the philosophers, the sages, the teachers, the leaders, the researchers, the people that are awakening or who are awake, so they don’t wake the rest of us up.
God forbid we all wake up. We all make a realisation. We all learn these lessons.
This is why we were attacked.
Not because there was a little group of Reddites that didn’t get a refund, which is how this started on Reddit. People complaining about a refund or parents complaining that they don’t see their children anymore or that this cult has stolen their child.
When it comes out that they are gross abusers of these children in every single possible way across the board, it’s got nothing to do with that.
It’s like them going to the BBC and saying: who is writing stuff about us that they don’t like? And then: how can we attack them? Using those people as a cover.
You see, this is how they work. They throw those people—those poor people, often really bad people—and they’re not stupid, they’re just not well. And they have been labelled. They’re going to carry this thing for the rest of their life. People like Jeffrey Jones.
I won’t go into his pathology, but it’s not good. He will live with this for the rest of his life. He knows better.
Announcing Two Critical Publications
We are bringing out The Lighthouse, which is going to discuss these issues, bring these issues to the forefront.
One thing is for certain—and you can speak to senior members of the press, young and old, that are honest about this and have written books about it, like Owen Jones in his book The Establishment: the establishment is seriously under-scrutinised, under-investigated.
This is something that The Lighthouse is going to do so we understand where we stand. So that we reclaim our boundaries as Christians, reclaim our boundaries as business people, reclaim our boundaries as voters, as members of the public.
And we hold those boundaries and we keep them in place.
Because if we don’t, like a frog boiling in slow water, they slowly take these boundaries away until they’ve got us ring-fenced, they’ve got us kettled in this small little enclosure. We can’t move. This is where they’re going with this.
There are two publications that we’re bringing out:
1. Christians and the Establishment Problem: Setting Our Boundaries and Protecting Them in Christ
This is the Christian-based publication. The subtitle is: Setting Our Boundaries and Protecting Them in Christ.
The first book is going to be called Christians and the Establishment Problem. What are the real dangers? What are the real challenges?
And the real danger, I’ll tell you in a nutshell: The real danger is when we are a danger to them.
When we are a danger to them—whatever they’re threatened by, whether it’s voting, democracy, whether it’s this party or that party, left or right government coming in, whatever it may be—whatever they are threatened by, they become a danger to us when they are threatened.
There is no way around it.
We need to understand, therefore, how are we a threat to them and how we’ve been a threat to them historically, and historically, how have they acted on that?
Most people are clueless. They have no idea. They’re lost in Harold Wilson back in the 50s, 60s. Margaret Thatcher in the 80s. At the end of the day, everyone looks back at these eras, but what they’re not looking at is the establishment around, inside, behind.
And of course, what I’m curious about is what I call the blind head of the beast. The head of the beast we don’t see. That part of the establishment that even the whole establishment doesn’t know. But they’re influencing, pulling strings, politicking, assassinating, whatever it may be.
But no one knows who they are, but they are extremely wealthy and old money. I’m talking about the old establishment that have come through families through hundreds of years at the very, very least.
2. Citizens v. the Establishment: Compete or Comply
This is the secular version. The title is: Citizens vs. the Establishment: Compete or Comply.
We’ve also got one coming along with that called Citizens v. the BBC—hitting that mouthpiece of the establishment.
Because that’s who they are. Not this public-funded broadcaster. We are the public and we are the main interest. We’re not the main interest. At best we’re second. At the very best we’re second.
Provably so.
Please, we have the evidence for all of this. We have the knowledge for all of this. We’ve done research of two decades. And they are terrified for us to get this out.
How They Destroy Those Who Threaten Them
What they do is they smear. What they do is put us through all sorts of punishment through process.
Draining our lives. Draining our families. Our energies. Frightening our children. Draining our reserves—financial reserves. Draining our energy reserves, our health.
Punishing us and destroying us, not just punishing us, destroying us through process.
Even if nothing at the end comes out of it, they know that they’ve spent £15 million or £20 million destroying a group of people who just eventually give up.
We won’t give up. If it’s only me standing, we will never, ever give this up.
This is a problem that needs to be solved. And it’s not just a problem that I have at Lighthouse. It’s a problem for the world. This is a world problem.
And the public—Christians, secular, theistic, agnostic, atheist, whoever—are duped. They’re pretty much duped.
You ask people in the street what they think the establishment is. They don’t understand it. We don’t understand it. I didn’t understand it. I couldn’t believe it. Can’t believe who the BBC is. But I do now, because I tell you what I understand: I understand the establishment very well.
I’ve worked with them. I’ve been there. I will prove that. I will show you. I’ve met members of royalty. Believe me, I’ve been there, done public speaking in front of them, been invited to some of their events. I’ve been there. It’s all come out. Don’t rely on me saying that. There are lots of people in the world that know about that. They were there.
You know, they go out there and they smear me as being this ordinary guy: “Don’t listen to this ordinary cult leader.”
But I don’t know where to go with that. The real answer is I’m subordinary. I come from a subordinary place. That’s where I come from. Subordinary Paul Waugh from a subordinary place, originally from Liverpool, a subordinary place, somewhere where I grew up in South Africa in the old apartheid, a very poor white area, with very poor, scouse Liverpool parents.
The Timing Is Now
Really, at the end of the day, people’s eyes are opening and the timing to release this information, this knowledge, this research—which they do not want us to get to you, which will blow the whole thing open so wide, you wouldn’t believe it.
Seriously. They thought Assange was causing their problems. This is going to cause their problems.
Because there’s nothing like an awake, educated people to cause them problems.
They know that not everybody can do well in life. Not everybody can reach even half their level of potential. Never mind all their potential, not even half. The system isn’t set up for that. It’s set up for the house to win. And the house is the establishment.
Their religion is not Christ. It’s what I call establishmentism. That’s their religion. That’s their family. That’s their cult. Or series of cults. Or their community of cults. Or their empire of cults.
Like their media cult, the BBC. The cults within cults that are within there. There’s not one cult in the BBC. There’s many cults there. Many. I’m going to prove it to you.
Beyond Catrin Nye: The Real Issue
So it’s not so much about Catrin Nye and A Very British Cult. This is less than 0.01% of the issue.
The real issue is why that happened and the real reason of what’s behind it all.
And the real reason is that people in the UK will watch a program like that. Once I’ve helped you, just a little while, releasing this information and releasing this education to you, and your eyes are open and you start seeing things, you’ll never unsee it.
You will put on any program like A Very British Cult, and within five minutes, if you don’t roll your eyes, your eyes will roll for you. Your eyes will start rolling. On will come the music.
Seriously. I mean, one person on Twitter went to Jamie Bartlett, Catrin’s husband, and went: “Did you do that on purpose? I mean, really? Did you do the music? Did you do it on purpose?”
And he goes, “Yes, we did.”
I mean, really? Really?
I mean, we haven’t even started and they wish they weren’t journalists now. When I say that, I presume by the way they’re acting, things they’re saying, over exaggeration, they were certainly acting like people who didn’t want to be doing this.
But we’ll get the evidence for that soon. That too.
Reclaiming Our Boundaries
The bottom line is this: we have a problem where our boundaries are being affected—we don’t even know what they are, where they are. They’ve been taken away.
Christians have a job to do in our Lord. We have a job to do secularly. We have a job to do in our Lord. We have a job to do moving towards the Kingdom and its righteousness under Christ.
There are literally billions of people that are reeling under the foot of the global establishment, because the establishment ultimately is global. It’s not just UK or America or France or Germany. It’s global.
And at the highest possible level, there are less factions than there are agreements. There are way more agreements. Way more understanding. Because they all suffer at that level if they don’t.
What we hear is a fraction and it’s never accurate. Ever, ever. And I’m being nice about that.
Closing Prayer
Father, thank You for this revelation, this opportunity to get this information out that You’ve guided us over 21 years to produce.
Father, it’s going to be revolutionary for people to learn this. They won’t believe it. They’ll have to see the evidence which, with Your guiding hand, we have. And we thank You.
You clearly want Your people to be educated, to be aware, to work together to protect the interests of Your Body, to do the work You’ve commissioned us to do. That is not just for Your people. It’s also for every human being.
You have an interest, Father, in every human being on this earth, every child. Every vulnerable human being reeling under the foot of the establishment.
Again, Father, I would like to say this in prayer, and You know this: I’m not anti-establishment. I’m anti-ignorance and anti-being duped and anti-not being able to work together because we’ve been rendered so ruggedly individual by the establishment and the education system, especially in countries like England. I mean, the rugged individualism—they call it British reserve. It’s just isolation.
So, You know, at the end of the day, when all this comes up, people start to realise: hold on a minute. Perhaps the people that work at the BBC, Father, will look at this and go, “I don’t want to be these people’s dupes. To rub shoulders with these people, maybe I’ll look better because I’m with a member of the establishment, or maybe they’ll accept me as a member.” No, they won’t.
Father, You know there are people on this earth that love their careers more than they love their lives, love their children, love their potential, love each other. When people and their egos, Father, want—You know, they put their own importance, their own vanity, their own hubris before love—the net result is this failing world that You have prophesied about for thousands of years.
So Father, we pray for the children, we pray for the vulnerable, we pray and thank You deeply for this work and for where we are now. This work is priceless work. Priceless work. Priceless education. Priceless, eye-opening, soul and spirit, human-liberating work.
We’re not anti-establishment, Father. We are anti-being duped. We are anti-not being educated. We are anti-ignorance. We are anti-foolish. We are anti-vulnerable people and children being hurt by the establishment and its greed.
And over the years, Father, the establishment have become drunk on their own power. Drunk. They’re making really stupid mistakes. Drunk on their own power. The media. Drunk. Even though it’s failing. Still drunk. Still doing things with a hubris one wouldn’t believe. How the hierarchy is throwing their journalists at the moment, not least like Catrin Nye, under the bus.
This woman has kids. Jamie Bartlett has kids. Throwing them under the bus. These people are thrown under the bus. And maybe too drunk even to realise it. On their own hubris.
So Father, You know, everyone must have an opportunity to make things right and to reform. So do they. So does everyone else. I mentioned Jeffrey Jones. He needs an opportunity to reform.
We need that on this earth as a matter of principle—that going around destroying enemies from some other political persuasion is just not good enough. Eventually the whole world suffers, and it is.
I’m probably never going to change that by reading Your Bible. They’re so drunk and so hubristic that it’s going to fail.
So at the end of the day, Father, You know, we thank You for Your love, Your protections, Your guidance. We, Father, with bowed head and bended knee, we repent. We thank You for Your love and Your protection. And we ask You all of this through Your Son, King and Redeemer, Jesus Christ’s name. Amen.
Closing Comments: Publication Timeline
Guys, I did say it would be a shorter one—it’s 28 minutes. Anyway, I got it out.
I’m going to be—we’re going to be producing with some help. I mean, if I’ve got a few minutes a day to work, it’s a lot. I’m not doing anything today work-wise. Nothing, literally. I’ve just been absolutely exhausted and really unwell.
But we’re looking at putting together—well, it’s almost complete. We’re putting together a publication that is now well-planned for.
An introduction to these two publications:
- Christians and the Establishment Problem
- Citizens v. the Establishment
Just a little overview of it, a little outline of it, and what’s going on. That’s being put together so that can be passed around and shared globally.
And we’re going to be doing it in several hundred languages. It’s that important.
So we are going to be sharing that over the next several days. My health permitting, perhaps I’ll need a couple of hours just to get it done now. So maybe a few minutes a day I’ll get this done over the next three or four days.
So I’ll leave that with you.
Lots of love. God bless and have a good evening.

Hi everyone,
We have felt both sobered and strengthened by the framing that the establishment becomes dangerous precisely when citizens, and Christians in particular, become a danger to its control of value, narrative, and conscience. This insight has helped many of us connect patterns we have sensed for years but could not previously articulate. It reframes attacks, smears, exhaustion, punishment by process, and silencing not as random, but as predictable responses to threat. At the same time, we are struck by the absence of hatred or revolutionary fervour in what is being shared. The emphasis is not on overthrowing anything, but on understanding, responsibility, boundaries, and refusing ignorance.
We are repeatedly drawn to the fact that this work starts with the human being. Rather than beginning with politics, ideology, or outrage, it begins inwardly—with conscience, self-awareness, responsibility, and spiritual grounding. This is why it feels so different from other voices speaking about power or the “deep state.” It is rooted, sober, and developmental, not sensational. For many of us, this has exposed how incomplete and restricted our worldviews have been, both as citizens and as Christians, and how easily ignorance leaves us compliant and vulnerable.

Thank you Paul, this is immense.. what you’ve shared here.. so much to grasp and gather from what you’ve shared.. just thank you so much. God bless you in your health 🙏 x x x
What you have shared this evening is huge, Paulie. I am genuinely gobsmacked — I didn’t think it could get any more impactful than yesterday, yet it has.
The way you articulate the establishment, the world, and the systems at work is incredibly clear, sobering, and deeply profound. This is vital information that everyone needs to hear, read, and engage with — there is no greater education than this.
As you say, once we see, we cannot unsee — and tonight that unfolds on another level for me. Profound.
I am so grateful to you, and ultimately to Christ, who works in, with, and through you according to His will.
God bless you and your health — I pray you receive the rest and support you need to continue the work you labour over so faithfully, all for the glory of God.
Thank you, Paulie. God bless us all. 🙏 x x x
Amen Jess 🙏, well said
Thank you for this insight and for sharing the plans of what is to come!
What it makes me remember is the phrase “Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”
While every version of society has an elite / establishment element to it – whether elected or not – that control must always be at the agreement of and for the benefit of the whole population. A fine balance that needs to be maintained, starting with education through these much needed written works.
I am valuing that Paul is very much deepening our, and everyone’s, understanding of the establishment. There’s too much truth and relatable examples to ignore!
The presentation of what we did and didn’t get at school together with the lack of meaningful focus on family and child development in the media says it all. They can’t honestly say that Jo Frost ‘Super Nanny’ is the epitome of parenting excellence?!?
Yet I remember there even being a propaganda excuse that they can’t do more to teach parents on how to raise their children because that would mean the British government interfering ‘too much’. This is simultaneously being said we we’re indoctrinated on what we should and should not learn in school as well as through the mainstream media (anything outside of that makes you a far right conspiracy theorist). There’s also punishment for social media posts, praying silently outside abortion clinics and other ‘thought crimes’.
Meanwhile anyone who dares question this is labelled and smeared as a ‘group of concern’ (like Lighthouse) and/or called a cult. Yet the real cult is this global establishment cult that I’m learning about more and more each day. What I’m learning is not even from doing deep dive research into dark places of the dark web. Instead it’s often from just seeing what’s presented in the mainstream media and current affairs.
For example, some of the latest developments are:
– Fear-inducing articles involving false people and fictionalised medical situations to ‘encourage’ people to get flu jabs.
– The gradual re-introduction of mask-wearing because of the flu and now we need to wear masks in doctors. Yet there’s no solid scientific evidence that these masks even do much to stop the spread of a virus. Meanwhile there’s pretty much no mainstream education on how to improve our immune systems.
– ChatGPT refuses to present certain Bible verses… yesterday I persistently asked it to give verses on Christian persecution (with different prompts etc), it agreed, started and then stopped. Another AI tool pointed out that some verses can’t be quoted because they are too offensive! Meanwhile look at all that comes through our screens each day…
– The UK Supreme Court has ruled it’s unlawful that Christian-focused religious education and collective worship taught in Northern Ireland’s state-funded primary schools. (This opens the door for this to happen across the whole of the UK).
So little by little we’re signing away our freedoms in the name of safety, security and ‘public interest’.
However, all these incidents are just small indicators of where things are going and what’s to come. Seeing the trends means that it’s so important to hold the boundaries. Christians and everyday citizens across the globe need to be united and able to defend themselves against the infringements on our ability to grow, develop, lead meaningful lives, build value and protect the needs of the vulnerable.
May God bless us and our work in educating the world on the reality of what’s happening in this world.
“The establishment becomes a danger to us when we become a danger to them.”
This is so Profound!
The research Paul has been working on for decades is priceless work, empowering, upbuilding, positive, educative work, everything the establishment has desperately tried to suppress here at Lighthouse and have certainly worked extremely hard to ensure the citizen (who is not part of the establishment) would never have access to. So, we are a threat, we are dangerous and we are a concern to the establishment and they showed their hand when they came after us so ferociously.
These publications are needed by every citizen, no matter your belief system or your ignorance to the establishment…we have never seen anything like this – thank God for these powerful resources!
100% agree Stas, everyone needs to read these publications
God bless us all 🙏
This is power!! Something so important you giving to people insight into how to live well. How society is way from what it ought be and it’s intentional. This is critical wisdom for anyone who wants to thrive, as the system we’re in is designed to keep us down. God bless you for what you’re giving here. This is Lighthouse shining light into the dark
This update really hit me. It’s sobering to realise the “establishment” isn’t just a few powerful people, but an entire system designed to keep us aiming down while believing we’re aiming up. I’m aware of how deeply indoctrinated I still am, even when I think I see it. The illusion of opportunity, success, and freedom runs so deep — and recognising it is both unsettling and necessary. I’m grateful for this call to reclaim our boundaries in Christ and step out of the lie.
This is another very powerful update, thank you! It helps me to understand why the establishment reacts the way it does when citizens begin to understand themselves, their value, and their God-given potential. The line “the establishment becomes a danger to us when we become a danger to them” summarises their modus operandi and explains their actions.
To see and understand clearer what we were never taught about family, human development, conscience, and responsibility raises the question, why the education system is set up the way it is. It explains a lot why the media and certain government organisations react the way they do. Empowering people directly impacts their control and power.
These publications feel deeply important, not just for Christians but for anyone who cares about truth, boundaries, and the protection of the vulnerable. This explains more as well why there’s so much unnecessary suffering in the world and I see more the urgency of bringing good-hearted people together for real change. Thank you again for these reality checks. God bless
What these updates are helping me understand is that the way I was raised, and the way we all have been raised, is all part of keeping us within the establishment. What I mean is that the threats made when we are in school, for instance, if we do something wrong or don’t keep up with our grades, mean that if we challenge the status quo, we will fail and be held back. These kinds of threats follow us through our lives. How many times have we been threatened with the sack? How many times have we been threatened with legal action? Mess with the system, mess with the establishment, and we become a danger to them.
I can’t thank you enough Paul, Chris and Shaun, for sharing this with us, opening our eyes to what is really going on. God bless you and all of us
I can’t wait to read the two publications that will be coming soon.
Thank you so much for your prayer x x
