Charles Torres "Charlie" Veitch (born 5 August, 1980) is a British filmmaker, YouTuber and conspiracy theorist.[2][3]
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.[2] His decision to denounce the 9/11 conspiracy theories drew backlash from predominant conspiracy theorists like Alex Jones and David Icke. He also received death threats.[5][6]
In recent years, Veitch has been noted for his walking tour themed YouTube videos.[7][8]
