I'm not a journalist, writer or investigator. I am, by chance, a witness to some very significant matters.

September 1997: When employed as a field service technician by a Queen's Award winning British engineering export company (JM Heaford limited) I was sent to install printing machinery in a supposedly new customer's factory in Yemen. The new customer turned out to be Khalid Sheikh Mohammed’s terrorist cell's front company called YemPak (Yemen-Pakistan abbreviation), located inside an existing customer's headquarters compound in Taiz, 17-miles south of Al Qaidah town. KSM's hosts were the British allied, US supplied, multi-billion dollar Hayel Saeed Anam (HSA) Group. I was vetted over dinner at my hotel by Yousef before being introduced to the Engineer (KSM) by HSA's managing director Saeed Alrobaidi, aka the Chief. HSA's general manager Mohamed then took me to an unscheduled meeting one mile from Al Qaidah town - it was a recruitment interview that I cut short before it'd even begun. Those meetings occurred after KSM's Pakistani chemical engineers who I was training asked me about visiting New York as tourists. I repeated a warning I'd first given to a customer in Toronto on 12 June 1997 after flying there from Boston's Logan airport. I explained my fear of the 1993 World Trade Center (WTC) bomb group trying again but next time using a hijacked plane as a missile. My advice to them was not to visit the WTC and to resist any hijacking attempts, even highlighting box-cutters as an easily carried potential weapon. On 8 January 2020 JM Heaford Ltd's former US sales agent David Dean (a 101st Airborne Vietnam veteran of Hamburger Hill) killed himself by drowning in Lake Hartwell after I tweeted about his links to CIA contractor Billy Waugh (who admitted working with Al Qaeda operators in 1990s Yemen), and saying Dean set up the machine sale to Yemen at an industry exhibition in Chicago on 14 April 1997.

I also deployed to 2012 Afghanistan with the British army, a vehicle mechanic working in Camp Bastion's light vehicles workshop. I did many airfield guard duties and five top-cover vehicle patrols too. The Afghan Reports tab details my experiences that included protecting opium harvesting and processing, refusing illegal orders, using a civilian human shield against a possible IED, witnessing hundreds of millions of £££ of procurement corruption and fatal command incomputence.
I’m documenting my experiences so my testimony and the supporting evidence I've presented can be acted upon. I declined a 9 March 2018 9/11 Military Commission invitation to interview from US Pentagon based investigators because they were working for KSM's nephew's defence attorneys and wouldn't discuss my witness status. British security services are spying on and targeting me for retribution, but refuse to acknowledge my reports or investigate my claims. Britain's Secret Intelligence Service, Parliament's Intelligence & Security Committee and the US Embassy London have all been formally informed of my experiences in 1997 Yemen, via my MP Sir Graham Brady on 27 March 2017.
