The Case Of Educofirebird & Associated Accounts (AKA Mr Jon Breen)…

• This page serves as a visual story and example of a predatory troll you may encounter (or already have) on our social media with the anonymous profile ‘educofirebird’ or one of many ‘sock-puppet’ accounts he uses.

• His obsessive and relentless harassment and abuse is so renowned that other victims saw his attacks on us and sent us a website that exposed his criminal background & more. (You will quickly see from our examples below, his behaviour certainly lives up to this).

• We wanted to warn and inform you as to the kind of individual we have been dealing with.

• He was recruited and encouraged to attack us online by disgruntled ex-clients he met in anonymous Reddit forums: Richard Thomas & Joanne Holmes

• This summary is for important context and an informed understanding, using only evidential facts.

• For the reality behind the malicious smear campaign against us and libellous newspaper article (currently being formally challenged by us), you can find all you need to, here..

A Convicted Criminal & With Multiple Detentions & Arrests…

The below information is taken from a website created about Jon Breen by others he has persecuted in the past and what’s he’s written about them, which was passed on to us. To our knowledge he’s never disputed its contents, nor proven them false. 

How To Identify A Predatory Troll…

The below video featuring Dr Jordan Peterson and Dr. Michael Nuccitelli (Predatory Troll expert) explains and highlights the key behaviours, traits and characteristics to look for in identifying a Predatory Troll. We believe Jon Breen, via ‘educofirebird’ (and other anonymous and fake accounts) clearly meets most, if not all of these criteria. 

A Self-styled Cult ‘Activist’ – Attacking Others In The Name Of Good…

Styling himself as some form of online anti-‘cult’ crusader, he places himself in a position of absolute unquestionable virtuosity, as well as informal judge, jury and executioner of all those he deems deserving of being punished into destruction. His persistent labelling of Lighthouse International being a ‘cult’ is his own private obsession and has no basis in facts or evidence.  We have openly invited anyone, experts, psychologists, the police to come and prove otherwise. None have tried, or even shown interest in this. 

Religious Persecution…

One can definitely say from his posts that there is animosity and religiously inspired persecution in his attacks.

Christian’s Responses To Jon Breen’s Attacks…

Here are some of the powerful responses our brothers and sisters in Christ have said about Jon Breen’s online maliscious attacks.

Our Warning About Jon Breen And Others

Quickly Blocked By Those Who Can Identify A Predatroy troll…

Many people, especially those who are used to dealing with predatory trolls, recognise such accounts and deal with them quickly. As you can see from the Twitter account below “Stopworkplacebullies”.

No Interest In Genuine Accountability…

Even if there were any truth in what he claimed and guilt in those he attacks, he is so void of any kind of reasonability, forgiveness or willingness to offer the opportunity for redemption. He seeks one outcome only, to see his targets suffer as much as possible into destruction – showing Dark Tetrad traits.

Adept At Treading A Fine Line…

His brushes with the law have taught him to keep himself from crossing a line that would see him face prosecution, but he will push the line as far as he can. In this tweet he makes the claim that a Lighthouse partner who recently survived cancer, is using the story of her victory over the disease as a cover for abusing others..

Constructive Saboteur…

He constructively seeks to sabotage our work and people at every turn possible, even going to the lengths of having a press release we made taken down online and writing to ITV who did a brief interview with Paul in Dec 2021. ITV were well aware of the malicious allegations being made against us and Paul at the time, which was the reason they wanted to interview him in the first place. This response, from their newsdesk general account, would have likely been an uninformed and uninvestigated reply. 

Doxxing…

As educofirebird he has openly and publicly written about the areas people  at Lighthouse live and where they have their family homes, without concern. This tweet below put Paul and his family at risk to any manner of other predatory individuals. 

Ostracised By Other Trolls As Too Extreme…

He has become so obsessed that even those who told him about Lighthouse online and encouraged him to attack us have disowned him and – according to this tweet – accused him of being a cult leader too!

Self-Grandiosity & Zero Responsibility…

Any challenge to his claims or attempts to hold him accountable only lead to cries of being a victim and of being ‘abused’ by his imagined foes, which often consumes his activity. He does this while self-inflating his self-adopted identity of being a champion for other ‘victims’ – something there’s no evidence for and no one who has called themselves such that can be seen to interact with or be associated with him at all.

For the context and our response to the fallacious and exaggerated claims made in the tweet above, you can read all about it clicking here. Please take the time to read and be adequately informed.

Anyone Who Challenges Or Disagrees With Him Become a Target…

He is not content to harass Paul Waugh, Head Mentor and ex-Lighthouse Chairman alone, but he will target any one of our partners as much as possible and anyone else who he sees interacting positively with us on social media, or who disagrees with him.

Over 200 Fake Accounts Purely To Harass…

He has set up over 200 fake ‘sock-puppet’ accounts just to harass Paul and Lighthouse specifically, all with names deliberately chosen to provoke and spread libellous defamation.. These are where he becomes more brazen in his language and shows more of his true character…

Mocking The Abuse Others Have Received…

The below is Paul tweeting about an investigation into the parent of two Lighthouse partners who suffered horrendous childhood abuse at their hands, you can see the lack of care, empathy or concern in his response..

Even though Paul himself has come out and shared how he is a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, Mr Breen, who claims to stand for survivors of such abuse, acts with callous diregard..

No One Is Safe…

Although Paul has borne the brunt of this person’s psychopathically persistent attacks, bless him, no one is safe and it’s our fear that he will only find and latch onto others if people don’t block him.

Refusal To Reason Or Find A Resolution…

This person has shown himself to be incapable of reason and maturity, despite patient attempts from us asking him to meet with us and prove his claims.

Keep Our Online Space Safe…

As has been mentioned, we have never met, done business with or ever spoken to Jon Breen, yet he is responsible for over 1,400 malicious, derogatory and defamatory posts against Paul Waugh & Lighthouse International, since July 2021. We are far from his only targets and once he becomes obsessed with others he will go all out to attack and destroy them as well.

If there is any hope for Mr Breen seeking redemption for these things and building a relationship with our redeemer, Jesus Christ, then we pray earnestly for that. We have many times appealed to him for this and for him to seek a mature dialogue with us rather than go about things the way he insists on doing. However, while we are always hopeful things may change for him and the prospects for his eternal soul, to date our efforts have fallen on deaf ears with him… Please educate yourself as to the dangers of people like this online and protect yourselves, your children and your families. God speed.
