Our History
Our History
When I said, “Hope and promise”, here is what I meant: in the 1960s, I took my shilling and became a British soldier by swearing allegiance to the Queen, living my childhood dream as a Scots Guardsman. Later, I transitioned into police service in Canada. As a police officer, I honed my military skills mostly in tactical units, more commonly called these days the SWAT, or in Toronto, the Emergency Task Force.
In April 1980, I had the privilege of using my military and police skills to create and own the newly established Armet Armored Vehicles. With exceptional Canadian workers the company grew into an international group of companies with our head office in Canada. This continued until a slowly growing insidious cancer took hold in 2006 and fully developed by the end of 2007, culminating in Armet’s slow but inevitable death in 2015.
I can say that creating and operating the Armet Armored Vehicles business was exciting. There were few competitors in the early years, and we became prestigious because, as countless governments that have bought our armored vehicles could attest, Armet’s tactical vehicles were unique, with ballistic protection certified by at least a dozen countries. This explains why progressive governments bought these machines undaunted by their costly price, but by the reputation they had garnered.
Several news publications and government reports noted and continue to note that in 2023 these tactical vehicles could protect and frustrate attacks by societies’ enemies, in internal security and more than a few wars. These vehicles of Armet’s design and my creation are still being built in 2023, but not under my direction or ownership, which was stripped away by a song and dance in the United States.
The excitement in my life, as well as the employment of my friends and colleagues, suddenly took a sharp turn downwards. What follows from here is extremely long and not an easy read, jumping forwards and backward while I try to make the issues clearer. However, I chose to speak so that those readers who can endure reading through this document can pass their own clear judgment as to whether I was guilty or innocent in the case brought against me by the United States.
One of the cornerstones of my platform is the belief that people need to be well-informed to make sound judgments. That is why a significant part of my content consists of authentic documents for our audience to review and consider the evidence.
This is particularly important in my case, as I am a convicted felon, and nothing I say now can change that fact. Therefore, readers may approach my words with skepticism until they have thoroughly examined all the available facts.
