context_page_description: Annie Machon is a former MI5 intelligence officer and conspiracy theorist who left the Service at the same time as David Shayler, her partner at the time.
context_section_description: In late 2006, Machon ended her relationship with Shayler. The home of Machon and Shayler in Highgate, London was the base of the British and Irish 9/11 Truth Campaign, founded in January 2004, which believed the September 11 attacks were an "inside job" arranged by a "shadowy elite" of American agencies and others. Machon has continued to identify with the 9/11 Truth movement. In May 2013, she was removed from a forthcoming United Nations panel discussion in New York City on 6 June 2013 after a complaint from B'nai B'rith International. In 2015, she told The Sunday Times some issues related to 9/11 remained unresolved: "Dirty tricks certainly happen and one should always keep an open mind". In her first book, Spies, Lies and Whistleblowers (2005), Machon suggested the death of Princess Diana had been organised by the security services.
