Cardiff Face The Facts: A 9/11 Truth Event with David Shayler & Annie Machon (ex

Gareth Strangemore-Jones (Campaign Promotions) | 03.12.2005 16:26

THE EX-MI5 OFFICER, DAVID SHAYLER and his wife ANNIE MACHON, also ex-MI5 and author of Spies, Lies and Whistleblowers will be speaking in Wales for the first time at Cardiff Face The Facts: A 9/11 Truth Event, and exposing UK & US State-sponsored Terrorist acts.

Shayler is one of the most notorious whistleblowers in British political history, and Machon’s book is a damning indictment of the operations of the secret service on behalf of the British Government.

“We have both personally witnessed state collusion and terrorist atrocities,” said Annie Machon.

“The public need to know the truth about the so-called war against terrorism, especially as we are still suffering the after effects of 9/11, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and the 7/7 bombings in London,” she added.

“At Cardiff Face The Facts, we will be talking about how these secret and despicable acts have eroded our traditional values, our concepts of freedom and our civil liberties. They have also led to a worrying increase in racism and hatred. Both David and I have seen first hand exactly what our British Government is capable of. We will expose some of its dirty dealings, its lying and its domestic and international crimes.”

“The misdemeanours and outright deceit includes UK taxpayers funds going to Al Queda to fund a plot to kill Libya’s Colonel Ghadaffi in 1995/96; British Intelligence Agents targeting and torturing civilians Northern Ireland; America’s $3million funding of Israel’s “pinpoint prevention” policy, which has led to the deaths of innocent Palestinian civilians; and the ham-fisted cover ups over intelligence failures regarding Weapons of Mass Destruction, which Tony Blair used to take the nation into an illegal war in Iraq,” Machon explained.

Machon and Shayler will give exclusive insights into the cover ups over the death of Dr Kelly and the so-called Hutton and Butler “Enquiries”. They will also outline how MI5 failed to stop four major terrorist attacks in Britain, even though they had reliable intelligence and many other explosive revelations.

It’s time Cardiff faced the facts, and anyone interested in the truth will be made welcome.
The event starts with “Face The Facts”, a 45-minute film, followed by an informal discussion with David and Annie. Questions and comments are invited from the floor.

Book Guild Press Release

Spies, Lies and Whistleblowers (MI5, MI6 and The Shayler Affair)
by Annie Machon

Explosive New Exposé
What Dame Stella Didn’t Tell You…

Spies, Lies and Whistleblowers is a damning indictment of the operations, the methodology, the targets and the personalities within MI5 today.

Annie Machon is one of the first female British spies ever to go public and this is one of the few books ever written by someone who has been an MI5 officer.

Spies, Lies and Whistleblowers not only examines the crimes and misdemeanours of MI5 and MI6 over the last decade, it goes on to show how our intelligence community should be reformed to protect us effectively from modern threats such as Al Qaeda.

It is also an insider’s analysis of the intelligence failures in the run-up to the Iraq war, the death of Dr Kelly, and the Hutton and Butler cover ups (“enquiries”).

Annie is the partner of notorious whistleblower David Shayler, but she did not overturn her entire life to support David merely because she was his girlfriend; she has seen for herself what he talks about, and has some horror stories of her own to throw in.

Annie Machon was born on Guernsey in 1968, and was educated at the Ladies College there. She went on to study classics at Girton College, Cambridge. In 1989 she began her career as an Editorial Assistant for a publishers but left when she was recruited as an officer for MI5 in 1991. In 1996 she left MI5 to work as a Management Consultant specializing in human resources. Since 1997 she and her partner David Shayler have been government whistleblowers.
