Elizabeth Nickson – Rockefeller, MK-Ultra and Eco-Fascists | The Delingpod
Escaping the Fake-stream
Elizabeth Nickson – July 2024 | The Delingpod
A respected journalist and author, Nickson brings her investigative skills and unique perspective to the discussion, shedding light on corrupt environmentalism, government overreach and the hidden hand.
Elizabeth Nickson is a Canadian writer, journalist and ex-European bureau chief of Life magazine. She is the author of two notable books: her 1994 novel ‘The Monkey Puzzle Tree’ (an account of the CIA brainwashing trials in Montreal in the 1950s and 1960s) and her 2012 book ‘Eco-fascists: How radical conservationists are destroying our natural heritage’.
Nickson and Delingpole discuss her novel The Monkey Puzzle Tree, which fictionalised the CIA‘s mind control experiments under Project MK-Ultra at the Allan Memorial Institute in Montreal during the 1950s and 1960s. The book explores the impact of these unethical experiments on a family through the eyes of the protagonist, Catherine.
Nickson also expands on the themes of her book Eco-Fascists, which argues that radical conservationists in government agencies are causing significant damage to the environment and communities under the guise of environmental protection. She provides specific examples of how misguided conservation policies are harming the land, ecosystems, and people.
An Enlightening Discussion:
Two Journalists Escape the Fake News Bubble
A fascinating conversation, James Delingpole and Elizabeth Nickson, two journalists who were previously embedded in the world of fake news and misinformation discuss their journey to seeing the light. These individuals, who had been immersed in the fantasy world of disinformation, now share their insights and experiences in breaking free from the fake news bubble.
The discussion provides a rare and valuable perspective from those who have witnessed the inner workings of the fake news industry firsthand. By shedding light on their own transformation, Elizabeth and James offer a unique and compelling narrative that challenges the status quo and encourages critical thinking.
Through their words, we can gain a deeper understanding of the mechanisms behind the spread of false information and the psychological factors that can lead even journalists astray. The conversation serves as a cautionary tale and a call to action for media consumers to be more discerning and to seek out reliable, fact-based sources of information.
This discussion represents an important contribution to the ongoing dialogue surrounding the impact of fake news on society and the role of journalism in upholding the principles of truth and transparency.
The Monkey Puzzle Tree
The Monkey Puzzle Tree is a novel by Elizabeth Nickson, published in 1994 by Bloomsbury UK and Knopf Canada. The book tells the story of the CIA‘s mind control program, known as Project MK-Ultra, which conducted brainwashing experiments on unwitting patients at the Allan Memorial Institute in Montreal during the 1950s and 1960s.
The protagonist, Catherine, is a 37-year-old Canadian journalist living in New York City. After her brother’s suicide attempt in Vancouver, she is urged to confront the demons of her past, particularly her relationship with her mother, Victoria, who was a victim of the CIA‘s mind control experiments.
Nickson skilfully combines her own family’s experiences with extensive research into the MK-Ultra project to shed light on this little-known aspect of the Cold War. The novel effectively incorporates flashbacks to Catherine’s childhood in rural Quebec and explores the terrifying callousness and complicity of the Canadian government in these unethical experiments.
Eco-Fascists
Elizabeth Nickson‘s 2012 book Eco-Fascists: How Radical Conservationists Are Destroying Our Natural Heritage examines the destructive impact of the environmental movement in North America and beyond. Nickson argues that radical conservationists in local and national government agencies are causing extreme damage to the land, ecosystems, and people through their policies and actions.
The book explores how the environmental movement has fundamentally changed the way we interact with nature, and documents the harm it is causing to communities everywhere. Nickson’s investigations into specific events have revealed a shocking truth: rather than safeguarding the environment, radical conservationists are actually destroying our natural heritage.
Eco-Fascists is a superbly written account that exposes the devastating political agenda of what Nickson calls the “environmental junta”. The book’s bombshell revelations alone will make it one of the most talked-about works on the environment in recent years.
