Veitch was born in Rio de Janeiro in 1980 to a wealthy family in the oil business. He attended Edinburgh Academy before receiving a Master of Arts with honours in philosophy from the University of Edinburgh. [2] [4]
He joined the Territorial Army before working at HBOS until the financial crisis made him redundant in 2009, at which point he dedicated himself to full-time filmmaking and protesting. [2] [5] Veitch was a former prominent figure among Britain's conspiracy theorists where he was recognized as a 9/11 "truther". [6] In 2013, Veitch went on the BBC's 9/11 Conspiracy Road Trip and later confessed he no longer believed 9/11 was faked by the United States government.
