To date, Machon is a prominent member of 9/11 Truth Movement.

In 2005, Machon published her first book, Spies, Lies and Whistleblowers: MI5, MI6 and the Shayler Affair in which she offers criticism of the Security Service and Secret Intelligence Service based on her observations of the two whilst in the employment of MI5.

Early life
Machon read Classics at Cambridge University and after her academic years started a career in publishing.

MI5
In 1991 she was recruited by MI5 where she was posted to their counter-subversion department, officially known 'F2'. Later in her service after meeting Shayler, she was reassigned to the international counter-terrorist division, known as 'G Division' where she claims Shayler, who was head of the section, informed her that he had witnessed other employees involved in the practice of illegal telephone tapping of journalists.

After MI5
After hearing Shayler's claims, along with his claims MI5 failure to prevent the bombing of the Israeli embassy in London on 26 July 1994 and his claims MI5 had some involvement in the attempted assassination of Colonel Gaddafi, Machon agreed to resign from MI5 so Shayler could go public with his claims.

In February 2007, Machon appeared in Ireland with Shayler and William Rodriguez who unsuccessfully sued President Bush and 155 others in federal court alleging their complicity in the 9/11 attacks.

In 2007 Machon ended her relationship with Shayler due to his alleged use of hallucinogenics and his claims that he is the Messiah. Machon is featured in Last Man Out, a 90-minute documentary movie by Jonathan Kerr-Smith about Rodriguez.

In an interview published in April 2009 Machon claimed that Mossad carried out the bombing of the Israeli embassy in London and 1994 AMIA bombing as a false flag attack.
