Lighthouse International Group Launches Troll Assault & False Accusation Register
For over a year, Lighthouse International Group has been assaulted, criticised and accused of wrongdoing by those with a hateful and destructive agenda. This post will provide the context for the relentless assault that Lighthouse International Group and its people have endured through false and unfounded accusations.
We have been falsely accused of trying to silence those who have been involved with Lighthouse International Group. This is completely untrue and the evidence of that is we are publishing the accusations made against us on our very own website!
Introduction
Since February 2021, we at Lighthouse International Group (LIG) have been assaulted as well as falsely and baselessly accused online of immoral, unethical, unlawful, illegal and criminal activity. These assaults have been instigated by a tiny percentage of all the people we’ve worked with over the last 18 years; less than 0.01%!! What those accusing us fail to recognise though is that the burden of proof lies on these accusers, not on Lighthouse International Group.
Anybody can resentfully make accusations about anyone else but for these claims to be taken seriously and to avoid legal repercussions, there needs to not just be evidence of the alleged wrongdoing, but legitimate evidence, evidence that is proven and accurate and that can and will stand up in a court of law. This means that not only does the burden of proof lie on our accusers and assailants, but so too does the burden of responsibility for what’s been shared publicly and also how that has been shared as well. To accuse is one thing, but to do so maliciously, with a reckless disregard for the truth and to be deliberately destructive is something else entirely.
Therefore our post on our community site contains what will be an ongoing and constantly updated list of ALL accusations and assaults made against Lighthouse International Group and its individual representatives; past and present.
Along with the accuser(s), we’re presenting the current status of each accusation in terms of the amount and quality of evidence/proof that’s been presented to back them up. In the same manner, we will also be listing and keeping a track of all the many personal assaults that have been and are being made against Associate Partners of Lighthouse International Group as they develop.
Context of The Assaults on Lighthouse International Group
This is to put the lists of assaults and false accusations into absolute context and all the evidence that is available within the confines of the law.
1. The insanity you will witness all started because requests from certain people for undue refunds thus unenforceable by law were rightfully denied by Lighthouse International Group.
2. Then the false accusations were wrongfully and unlawfully made online in Reddit by these disgruntled people in order to slander and defame Lighthouse and its people. This was to purposely inflict damage on our reputation in order to destroy our lives and our business as well as any opportunities present and future.
3. The above was then followed by a daily flood of slurs and cruel assaults on the people of Lighthouse; our characters, our mental health and wellbeing designed to cause as much pain suffering and debilitation as possible. They hurt and nearly destroyed many sensitive and honest people here. This continues daily despite increasing police intervention.
4. The Lighthouse assailants, character and well-being assassins then proactively roped in people on the net, some of them criminal and extremely unstable and dangerous, to attack us and even lead the charge. These people had no prior issue with Lighthouse International Group, its people and had never met us.
5. The Lighthouse assailants hellbent on destroying us then went to the Daily Mail, the Daily Mirror and other newspapers in order to report their false accusations. They did this to add credibility to their assault and smear campaign. The Daily Mail’s Tom Kelly then printed a sensationalised, biased and prejudiced story designed for advertising clickbait. Mr Kelly and team did no serious investigation or fact-checking. They simply referred to the false accusations as “accusations” and then hung the responsibility for the contents of the article on the shoulders of a few willing named and unnamed sources.
a. All of these Daily Mail sources were our assailants and Reddit ‘trolls’ who had to that point mercilessly assaulted our characters and mental health and wellbeing with the most vile assaults.
b. To date the Mirror has not published anything to damage us or printed anything about us at all. The hell continues. We pray for it to end soon and for justice to be done.
c. Many of the people recruited as trolls and assailants by the disgruntled people (who did not receive refunds) are extremely controlling family members of Lighthouse Partners and clients. These family members have been of the worst kind of assailants in all of this causing unimaginable pain, suffering and damage to their family members and others here at Lighthouse International Group. They continue relentlessly.
It is both ridiculous to expect and impossible for Lighthouse International Group to take responsibility and atone for any alleged unlawful/illegal activity if this cannot be genuinely proven or substantiated first. Atoning for what we’ve done wrong is at the heart of our philosophy at Lighthouse International Group.
Given our research into understanding and developing human beings and human potential over the past 18 years we understand there will be three groups of people who read this article;
1. Those who believe the false accusations without evidence because it suits their current agenda.
2. Those who choose not to believe the false accusations because it suits their current agenda not to.
3. Those who are genuinely objective and who will weigh up the facts, the reasons and the evidence to base their opinion on a dedication to reality and truth, no matter how inconvenient to their current views or painful that might be to them personally.
We expect there to be high levels of bias and prejudice within the first two groups. The last group however, we know will not only examine and weigh up the evidence and its legitimacy (or lack thereof) but also consider the character, intentions and the motives of those making the accusations too as well as ourselves at Lighthouse International Group. Those in this third group are rare; they are objective, interested in facts, evidence, truth, justice and what is right. We encourage anyone reading this to strive to be in the third group as we also strive to be.
To accuse someone or a group of people of immoral, unethical, unlawful and/or illegal activity without legitimate proof and/or evidence is defamation, either by slander or libel. To do so repeatedly and with malicious intent to cause that person and/or group distress, alarm, pain and suffering is assault and harassment. It causes huge, unlawful damage to healthy human beings.
We have publicly and consistently challenged our accusers through our blog articles, videos, social media posts to present proof of their accusations and we even offered invitations for them to meet with us in person and discuss these matters like any mature and reasonable human being ought to do. These people however, for the most part, insist on hiding online behind the anonymity of their pseudonyms, dispensing hatred and maliciousness in ongoing attacks and assaults from the dark corner of the internet, mainly on a platform like Reddit.
On 3rd June 2022, Chairman Paul Waugh posted publicly on Twitter that he and Lighthouse International Group invite any and all of our accusers to meet face to face, at a neutral venue and with neutral oversight, in order to hear their claims and accompanying evidence, along with any lawyers, police or anyone else they wish to bring to help back up their case in order to avoid having to meet up in court. Our intention is to avoid having to take this through a very expensive, time-consuming and stressful judicial process through the courts on both a criminal and libel level. To date we are still waiting for even one acceptance of this invitation.
On our community site is a register, a compilation of assaults and false allegations that continues daily on a relentless circular pattern designed to devastate us including our families and children.
We will be updating this list daily, or as often as new information comes to light, but given the consistency, persistency and sheer volume of anti-Lighthouse statements we estimate that there is far less than 1% here, compared to the volume of what’s actually been written. The assaults and false accusations listed on the site is drop in the ocean compared to the thousands of false accusations made online that we are still categorising from our extensive documentation and evidence gathering.
What we will also say is that responsibility for what’s been written on Reddit also comes under the moderators of the relevant subreddit. This means that the following usernames are complicit for what’s been written because through their inaction they condone and endorse what’s been posted.
- u/Fagins_nemesis (Name to come, subject to police clearance)
- u/CreativeWrap919 (Name to come, subject to police clearance)
- u/Own-Station2707 (Name to come, subject to police clearance)
- u/************ (Name to come, subject to police clearance)
- u/starling157 (Name to come, subject to police clearance)
- u/happyhippo717 (Name to come, subject to police clearance)
NB: To stress and reiterate… all assaults and false accusations towards Lighthouse International Group online are in a closed dogpiling group with moderators who have the final say on what content is allowed.
We warn in advance of the offensive language used. Unfortunately those assaulting us are very bitter, hateful and resentful individuals. This is likely because as children growing up they did not receive the kindness, gentleness, love and compassion they needed to learn how to process their emotions in order to express themselves with honour, dignity and respect. We genuinely hope they will read this and be shocked into realising that hate never wins and accept our invitation to meet in person to reconcile and atone with us like healthy grown adults would choose to.

Our Legal Response
As individuals we strive to forgive, to love, to care. This means we’re asking our assailants to repent, to ask them to show cause and to ask them to show evidence because we want to deal with this legitimately, authentically and decently. However, the reality is that no one can expect to cause so much damage on so different levels; physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, materially and financially without consequences.
There have been significant costs to us at Lighthouse International Group; not just the substantial time, effort and money invested in handling what’s been thrown at us through these assaults, but also the emotional impact, attacks on our character as well as the threats to our safety and wellbeing. The costs incurred have not just been from responding to these assaults but also the sabotaged opportunities and the projects we’ve put on hold.
The individuals involved, and the group of assailants as a whole, are accountable for these increasing human, material and financial costs involved. Legally, ethically and morally this needs to be those who have been attacking us for a sustained period of time. We have a justice system to assist us in reconciling this situation that our assailants are on the wrong side no matter how right they think they are. Even if they did have the truth, the fact is that the way they’ve tried to go about holding us accountable through false accusations and relentless assaults for over a year is criminal.
There has been much chatter online about the legal team at Lighthouse International Group. Whilst things are very much in process in relation to defamation and civil prosecution, our focus at the moment is on reporting the criminal assaults against us to the police. This is criminal behaviour and efforts to reason have been ignored, even mocked.
We recently started holding people accountable through the appropriate legal channels. Presently we have 27 cases in process with a number of police forces nationally and internationally. As part of a coordinated smear and assault campaign our assailants have admitted that they are known to each other and therefore our conversations with the police include treating our assailants as a group as well as individuals. Whilst we’re not able to name some individuals involved for legal reasons (as yet), we are presenting what we can and will update as and when further reports are filed and progress is made.

Through this whole situation there is not only the burden of proof for these false accusations, but also the burden of responsibility for the assault on Lighthouse International Group as highlighted by Paul Waugh on Twitter.
Conclusion
A year ago in June 2021, one accuser (troll) made the following below comment. As you can see from the above and given our experience, we do not see that this has changed at all since then…
Lighthouse International Group has been logging and collecting all of the above accusations dating back to February 2021, along with the ongoing non-existence of any legitimate and substantial proof, evidence or substance to verify and give credence to any of these claims that would stand in a court of law.
This process has accumulated a vast body of evidence that has been extensively collated, catalogued and organised and is now being used and will be used for existing and future criminal and civil legal proceedings on an individual as well as collective level.
Various police reports are currently in progress for crimes against Lighthouse and its people, including harassment, harassment on the basis of race, religion and disability, malicious communications and hate speech. This extensive catalogue also provides the basis for civil and libel cases to be brought where no proof has or can be shown to substantiate such claims. As can be seen above, the potential consequences for lacking such evidence is likely to be extensive.
To close we must reiterate that this is not just a smear campaign, but an outright assault on us as individuals and a business. Here’s a breakdown of what we have needed to endure over the last year despite attempts to reconcile in respectful and human ways.
