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 wicked fool says in his heart, ‘There is no God.’ They act corruptly, they commit abominable deeds; there is no one who does good.” — Psalm 14:1
Richard Thomas is a name we have not featured as prominently in our recent exposure of fake whistleblowers. Others, including Jeffrey Leigh-Jones, were placed far more visibly at the centre of the BBC’s hit-piece against Lighthouse Global.
Yet the fully evidenced reality is that Richard Thomas was diabolically instrumental in building the national hate and smear campaign against Lighthouse from its earliest stages. He played a central role in the Daily Mail’s 2022 hit-piece against us—but when the campaign moved to the BBC, he quickly retreated into the shadows and allowed others to be pushed forward as sacrifices on the establishment altar.
Richard came to Lighthouse desperately needing support, particularly in his responsibilities as a husband and father—areas of his life in which he was severely struggling. We will examine this tragic case in far greater detail throughout the week. For now, these are the essential introductory facts:
- Five years of mentorship: Richard was mentored by Shaun Cooper for five years. This included months of pro bono support given by Shaun to help him confront serious personal, marital and parental difficulties.
- Encouraging Joanne Holmes to receive mentorship: After benefiting from Shaun’s support, Richard encouraged his then-friend Joanne Holmes, a schoolteacher, to receive mentorship herself.
- Voluntary participation: Richard volunteered to join the Lighthouse Associate-Elect Programme and encouraged Ms Holmes to join and invest in herself too. The programme offered numerous levels of involvement. Both were at its lowest level and attended meetings only once a week—a direct contradiction of the BBC’s utter lie that Lighthouse supposedly took over people’s lives.
- Extraordinary practical support: Richard and Ms Holmes received exceptional levels of care from Shaun Cooper and Paul S. Waugh. During the Covid pandemic, this included helping to provide Ms Holmes with medical necessities and health supplements—material realities you will certainly not hear from the BBC.
- Orchestrating the smear campaign: Despite receiving this support, both individuals became heavily involved in organising and driving the hate and smear campaign against Lighthouse Global.
- The timing of the attack: That campaign ignited at precisely the time Paul S. Waugh and several senior Lighthouse Partners began exploring the merit, substance and indispensable importance of the teachings of Jesus Christ—particularly the Sermon on the Mount.
- Christian teaching was entirely opt-in: This exploration was shared with Associates and Associate-Elects solely on an opt-in basis. No one was obliged or pressured to receive it in any way.
- An anti-Christian campaign: We hold substantial evidence that the campaign advanced by Richard Thomas and Joanne Holmes was not only vitriolic, racist and xenophobic, but involved the doxing of young children and was clearly, palpably anti-Christ and anti-Christian in its nature and purpose.
Throughout this site, we will publish comprehensive evidence showing who Richard Thomas really is, in direct contrast to the false whistleblowing persona presented through the Daily Mail’s hit-piece against Lighthouse in 2022. The public was sold a carefully manufactured account stripped of the support he received, the voluntary nature of his involvement and the personal realities that first brought him to Lighthouse.
We remain deeply concerned for Richard’s wellbeing. That concern has not disappeared despite his sustained attempt to destroy Lighthouse Global rather than face the poisonous and toxic marital relationship that, as the evidence will show, placed the wellbeing of his children in jeopardy.
In the coming weeks and months, we will reveal the full extent of Richard Thomas’s conduct without fail. He may believe he can remain hidden while others, including Jeffrey Leigh-Jones, bear the brunt of the public accountability arising from the campaign he helped initiate.
He is sorely mistaken.





The example of Richard Thomas shows the importance of developing a strong foundation within ourselves. When we are not clear about who we are, what we stand for, and what is true, we become vulnerable to external pressures and influences.
In his case, it shows that family pressures played a significant role, and he ended up turning against people who had supported him and given him what he needed. His choices revealed important aspects of his character, and he now has to face the consequences of those actions.
It is a powerful reminder of how important it is to build inner strength, seek truth, and take responsibility for the decisions we make.
Richard Thomas’s departure and assaults on Lighthouse are tragic because of what his (limited) involvement with Lighthouse was doing for him. There were some very meaningful interactions between Paul S. Waugh and Richard Thomas when Richard was able to join us on a Saturday morning call. From what I saw and heard it was evident he wasn’t just looking to grow and develop to advance his career, the hope of becoming a better leader and steward of his family was something that was important to him.
Sadly, the sabotaging efforts of his wife (Antonia Brider-Thomas) snuffed out his regenerative efforts.
Those he’s been tyrannical towards Lighthouse, I fee for him. His stupidity will damage him for years. I do appreciate how this article challenges the public narrative by presenting a broader context and raising important questions about accountability, truth and integrity, shame this person has none. If the evidence continues to support what is outlined here, it reinforces just how important it is to look beyond headlines and examine the full record before forming conclusions…that a must going forward. Thank you for your continued commitment to correcting what you believe to be the public record.
Richard is sorely mistaken indeed, sorely mistaken to believe that he could slander Paul and Lighthouse unrepentantly and without providing context or evidence for his unfounded accusations. This type of character is exactly what the BBC look for, since they are of the same character themselves. And like the BBC and every other fake whistleblower, they are being and will be exposed.
Revealing these truths is an act of love towards Mr Thomas and forms part of the mentorship he was receiving before he was turned away by his wife. The truth needs to be told, not only to clear away falsehoods, but because our very eternity and infinity are at stake.
May God grant Mr Thomas, and all of us, the grace to repent, forgive those who have transgressed against us, and love our enemies as Christ commands us.
In His name, I pray. Amen.
The fact that Richard Thomas was offered a refund but then didn’t take it and then tried to blackmail Lighthouse shows the entire origin of the attacks against us were always a premeditated smear campaign. The source “critics” against Lighthouse whether it was the Daily Mail or the BBC are the same people, chief amongst them Richard Thomas who was Covid vaccine injured and needed support. But was so devoured at home that he turned fully against us. It’s honestly tragic and I pray that he is healing and that he repents to make this right.
It’s extremely telling in itself that Richard Thomas did not want to take part in the BBC hit-piece also, he knew all the way back then, after the Daily Mail, that the smears would be brought to light for what they are. He knows the level of evidence that Lighthouse have and that escalating this heinous and palpably malicious smear campaign was only going to make the fall out and consequences for liars like him so much worse.
It is vital that Richard Thomas is being profiled. It’s been a long time coming. Someone who so horrendously attacked Shaun Cooper and Paul S. Waugh… someone who even blackmailed Paul and even facilitated the doxing of Paul’s children! I say I am glad, not out of spite, but because he thought he could hide and hold onto his lies. I really hope he can face up to and own his own lies, deceit and the state of his marriage, to repent. Christ loves Richard and wants him to repent, to be cleansed and redeemed!
This situation is so tragic. I remember being on a call with Mr Thomas when he spoke about the unnecessary situation of his friend (Jo Holmes) being antagonistic towards lighthouse – and then a few weeks later he was even worse. It just shows the anti-value power of having a toxic person in one’s life feeding them lies and negativity all the time.
I pray for Richard and his family, for what they have and are doing and the consequences that they will have to face. They are an example of who we have and are under attack by, and by that I mean people that we have and do put our trust in. You are helping me see the utter importance of putting my full trust and love in God, because He comes before everything else.
Thank you for this article, and I look forward to reading more about Richard…God bless…
The BBC will decide what story they want to tell you, to reinforce their own state run propaganda. They will then present you facts, but distort all the context around those facts to back up ‘their truth’ of what really happened. The Daily Mail does this too, as does almost every mainstream media outlet.
Richard Thomas, his wife Antonia Brider-Thomas thought they could use this process to their own advantage, but there is just one huge problem.
None of it is true.
That one fly in the ointment will I’m afraid backfire on them far more than any ‘damage’ they think they have caused, because that is the nature of telling lies and deception. i pray for them that they come to Christ and beg for His forgiveness.
