Charles Torres Veitch (born 5 August, 1980) is a British filmmaker, YouTuber, and former conspiracy theorist.[1] [2]
Veitch was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to a wealthy family in the oil business. He attended Edinburgh Academy. He claims to have received a Master of Arts with honours in philosophy from the University of Edinburgh.[3]
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.[4] Veitch was a former prominent figure among Britain's conspiracy theorists where he was recognized as a 9/11 "truther".[5] In 2011, 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. His decision to denounce the 9/11 conspiracy theories drew backlash from prominent conspiracy theorists like Alex Jones and David Icke. He also received death threats.
In recent years, Veitch has been noted for his walking tour-themed YouTube videos. He walks around Manchester making videos witnessing interesting stuff such as antisocial behaviour and protests.[6] [7]
