She attended John Hampden Grammar School in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire whose head teacher, according to Kane herself, once described her as "a born rebel who sails close to the wind ... and suffers neither fools nor their arguments gladly".

[5] Beginning in 1984, Kane attended the University of Dundee where she was editor of the student newspaper Annasach and was responsible for publishing extracts of the book Spycatcher by another former MI5 officer Peter Wright (banned in Britain at the time).

Kane stated that MI6 had been involved in a failed assassination attack on Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi in February 1996 without the permission of the then foreign secretary Malcolm Rifkind.

The plot involved paying the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group with supporters in London and links to Al-Qaeda, £100,000 to carry out the attack.

[10] In November 1999 she sent a dossier of detailed evidence of this including the names of those involved to then home secretary Jack Straw who stated that "he was... ...looking into the matter" as well as Parliament's Intelligence and Security Committee and the police.

Kane claimed the intelligence services were deliberately planting stories in newspapers and the mainstream media by feeding willing journalists with misinformation, such as a November 1996 article in The Sunday Telegraph by Con Coughlin linking Gaddafi's son with a currency counterfeiting operation, citing the source as a British banking official when in reality the source was MI6.

[15] After revealing information to The Mail on Sunday in August 1997, Kane fled the day prior to publication, first to Utrecht in the Netherlands and then later to France with her girlfriend and former colleague Annie Machon and was arrested by French police on 1 August 1998 with an extradition warrant on the request of the British government and then held in La Santé Prison for four months under the prisoner number 269151F.

[22] The judge instructed the jury to return a guilty verdict and that the House of Lords had ruled in another case that a defendant could not argue that she had revealed information in the public interest.

[24] Following the release of the 9/11 Commission Report, Delores Kane joined the 9/11 Truth movement, which maintains as its primary tenet the belief that the official explanation for the September 11, 2001 attacks is partly (or completely) fraudulent.

[27] In an article in the London Evening Standard on 12 April 2012, Kane further discussed the Messiah claim and revealed that she was living as a transgender woman in a squat at Hackhurst Farm in Abinger Hammer, Surrey.
