TLDR; Im thinking constantly scrambling up my co-program classmates was on purpose.

To start this post is inspired by another posted today about the paperwork they found. It made me think of papers I ran across long ago that I tease my parents about to this day.

Also this occurred in schools built in a cancer cluster that has its own superfund river. The city is home to about 20 refineries all big names like Exxon. Polution pumped out 24/7.

Primary School was for grades K-2. My core group (started as 11 of us) were in the same classes consistently. Parents all friends and most lived in our subdivision. Starting in K my teachers would leave the classroom for something and put me in charge and had me read to the class.

Elementary School was for grades 3-5. My core group and I were in the same rotation in 3rd grade class. 4th grade we were in a class of advanced 5th graders and did 5th grade work. 5th we were back together, more bored, flew through class work because we did it the year before. This is when spending all our time alone in the computer lab, library or as an admin aide of some type. Our first WTF field trip was to meet the professional basketball team in Houston.

Testing during 5th grade happened. The parents that could prvide transportation to and from school sent their kids off to another campus for a full accredited program. The rest of us were placed in “Honors” everything and stayed in the regular feed.

Middle School - “Honors” kept the remaining 6 of us together a lot. 6th grade nothing special. But we experienced fatigue because there were new classmates in our classes that slowed things down. 7th grade the COMPLETELY ENDED the Honors program. Said it was inclusion time. As 7th and 8th grade we basically just hung out. But more wild unsupervised field trips and privileges.

High School was stressful. Not having advanced curriculum for two years then thrown back into the Honors program comes at you hard. That had to be an experiment.

Suspected Experiment 1. Thrown into 5th grade Honors class as 4th graders. Then test how much we could retain by having us complete it a year early, and testing us for recall the next year.

Suspected Experiment 2. Compare how we perform when separated into attending a fully immersive program off campus versus attending a mock program on campus. Use the state standardized EOY scores see what group did best.

Suspected Experiment 3. End the Honors program (7th grade) and mix them with the others for a while and see what happens. Then keep them behind for 8th grade but te-enroll them into the program in 9th grade. See how remixing the program students goes and if we are still competitive.

Lastly, we had a group of boys kill another boy in high school. The ringleader(orphan) and 2 others(single parent and both parents) were program students. Their trials all lasted very few days with harsh sentences. I believe they’re just casualties. We had more program students that murdered during highschool. One kid murdered his girlfriend in a car, the other both of his parents.

Anyways, just considerations. Happy 4th

As these hearings unfold I'd like to remind everyone that one of these CIA "subprojects" is G.A.T.E. and similar children's programs. From the official CIA online PDF archives (summary): "Documented CIA Child Experiments & Psychic Research: Remote Perception Research: Documents from the CIA's remote viewing archives show the agency investigated the limits, accuracy, and physiological responses of "gifted" subjects [minors] to explore potential applications for intelligence gathering.

Is there data about if there were more programs or more students in these programs in certain parts of the country? Or does it seem to be more evenly distributed across the country?

I'm thinking back to the little I remember about those classes. Aside from lying on the floor in the dark at the end & ‘meditating’, I remember making the ‘great rhombicosidodecahedron.’

I looked it up & it is a convex, 3-dimensional geometric shape with 62 faces, making it an Archimedean solid. It consists of three types of regular polygon faces: 12 pentagons, 30 squares, and 20 triangles.

This seems like a strange project for an 8-year-old.

I am just learning about the Gate program and diving into what little I even remember about life before middle school. When I was 15 I thought it was normal to not remember life as an 11 year old until I started talking to friends I grew up with that weren't in TAG and could remember all these things we did together that I had very little memory of.

When I was 12 I also had a realization that something I thought was normal or at least my really was actually me being molested by a family member and subsequently covered up or not believed, depending on who I asked, by other family members. 12 is when I asked my Mom about it and she confirmed she had caught him but thought I wouldn't remember because I was so young.

So at 12, I could remember being 2 or 3 and being abused but by 15 I couldn't remember what those memories of it were and many other memories were gone with it. Could be what I always believed it to be, trauma repression. But why would I forget my happy memories with my friends?

I also remember predicting weird events, telling my friends and then those things happening. I was commonly believed to be "psychic" by my friends but that also faded away with my middle school years.

I'm still putting a lot together now with the more I'm reading. I remember some of the exercises and puzzles we did, the hearing tests, being taken out of classes routinely but not exactly what for but no pink drink.

I continued in AP classes after that and was definitely less social and more awkward and weird. I always had 2 beliefs though: 1. I would die at 32 on my birthday (did not happen luckily). 2. I would see the end of the world -whatever form it took. I'm not a prepper or really preparing in any way, just kind of waiting with some degree of fear. When I used to watch horror movies (not anymore because my anxiety is high enough) I used to say I would just kill myself so I wouldn't have to be in fear anymore. I have kids now so fighting is what I'll do to keep them safe.

If anyone reads this jumbled thought vomit of memories I'm just putting together, please let me know how much this sounds like something that could be trauma related or if it could be the beginning formation of actual memories of a government conspiracy.

(Separate to the Gate Program, I know I'm waking up to something but haven't fully accepted what yet)

I've been going on different subs, sorting by controversial, trying to find the stuff that's being silenced. Allegedly, keeping posts at zero upvotes is one way this platform is controlled.

Anyway, this post I'm sharing is the only one that kinda indicated foul play. Lots of comments but supposedly zero upvotes. I'd expect something like 3-5 for that sort of post. Any idea why? Or maybe I'm reading too much into this one.

Interestingly this sub was the only one I had trouble sorting by controversial in. That by itself was an oddity.

I've posted once before on a different sub Reddit and have since deleted the post after most people basically called me crazy or brushed me off as being too young to actually remember what happened. I swore I'd just move on and forget but too many coincidences keep happening. Bit of a long read but please bare with me.

When I was young I was sent to this school for preschool early development. I have a few memories of regular class activities but there are things that don't line up. I remember being taken out of classes to be put in dark rooms where I would put on headphones and be made to take strange tests I can't recall too well anymore. I've even been made to take those tests a few more times when I was in public elementary school.

One of my more troubling memories took place in this strange furnished basement like area where me and a few other kids were all being monitored by adults and given a bunch of food items. The room looked nothing like the rest of the school and to this day I can't place where exactly it happened.

Now, my dad has been in the military since youth and it's heavily believed that my dad was groomed into MK Ultra by his at the time step father who had been some form of military officer. He described being taken into a church basement where people would do these strange rituals and has been sexually abused by these people. In the coming years my dad has developed severe DID, has had many alters most of which I have interacted with, and had a military hospital step in and rope her into electroshock therapy where she proceeded to essentially forget huge chunks of her memory including many individuals (My dad didn't even remember me either).

My dad has told me a few strange things whilst growing up. One of which was warning me to never get involved in anything military because they would "be too happy to have someone else from my bloodline". But there was also a period of time in my life where I would have these very strange vivid dreams, dreams that I told my dad about that freaked him out. He had said something about not wanting me to have to go through any of it and I recall him being very distraught and telling me to tell him whenever I had dreams like that again.

The thing is I've always had oddly vivid dreams where I was either made to interact with or surrounded by strange beings. But I've also been plagued by dreams that feel way too real, usually dreams where I'm a child and I'm being abused or manipulated by these adult figures. I've even had one reoccurring instance of this where the dream would continue from later points after the last dream and they only stopped when I told people about them.

I've been having dreams like that again for a while, and it's become incredibly traumatizing. I don't want to give details but one dream had been so sickening I had a mental breakdown as soon as I woke up and can still recall the dream almost perfectly. A lot of the more vivid and strange dreams are the ones I remember consistently.

I've only thought about these things on occasion after receiving these strange sensory triggers and though I can't recall most of what happened I always have this feeling of dread that can lead to full panic attacks if I linger too long. I've also had strange encounters with people that have claimed to know me as well as occasionally being cut off from my father, receiving strange calls, or straight up feeling like I'm being watched. I know I'm not crazy because I've spoke to a few close friends about this and everytime I start to talk about it they'll interrupt me because they feel as though we were being watched.

Stuff keeps getting worse and I have reason to be concerned due to an individual that had reached out to my dad before his breakdown. She told him she was with the military, that she had been watching him, and had even given full accurate receipts to back up her claims as well as finding out she manipulated other people just to interact with my dad in the months they interacted before they had a bit of a separation. Part of me is concerned because although I haven't heard from her she had showed interest in me, went out of her way to contact me and ask me about my life as well as trying to get me to move out of state with her and my father when they were still friendly with each other.

Almost none of it feels real but I've been having these strange dreams again and I'l feel like I'm going crazy. I tried to condense this as much as possible and there are other events I've left out for the sake of brevity as well as in the case I actually am being monitored. I just don't know what to do anymore.

Curious how many of us were led/forced/coerced into serving. My whole family was military and I did not want to join but I came from an abusive household and was forced into joining. Freshly 18, my mom gave me 2 choices. Join the military or she was gonna kick me out.

I did 10 years in the military and it was worst experience of my life. I endured so much trauma from various different people I met along the way. Almost every single supervisor or person above me treated me like hot garbage and mentally and emotionally abused the hell out of me despite me being the best damn worker all the time. I never got in trouble or committed any crimes. Was always respectful to the rank structure and rules. Always the star worker because I hated letting people down. I was super analytical, rational, and always creating new processes for improvement. I can only count on 1 hand the amount of people who actually looked out for me and protected me. I’m so grateful to those few. Now that I’ve awakened to all this knowledge I realize they were all handlers playing their parts to purposely beat you down. I also recently learned that they strategically placed me into certain duty stations and cancelled certain locations as well. 🫩

Anyways just curious if there’s a correlation to us and being indoctrinated into the military

Former gifted kid turned parent of 3. I’ve just started seriously considering the programs impact on me, recently. I’ve tried to read up and watch videos to educate myself. Anyways just a Mom that has been “special” my entire life. There are 6 things I haven’t yet read about that stand out to me. Wondering if anyone else has similar recall.

1. From my first day in K (PK too) the classroom felt overly bright, clean smelling and sterile? When I had a cesarean section for the first time, going into that room felt just like Kindergarten to me. Instantly I was back.

2 Multiple times since K, I was learned upon like an assistant teacher. Even them leaving the class to me while they left to visit the office or whatever. I’d be asked to read out loud and take names. I was 5. I remember all these things like it was my first day at work.

3. About 6 of my classmates and I were always in the same classes and groups. There was no secret we were seen as the “smart” kids. K-12, I seemed to always be around them.

4. Us 6 had privileges that were so odd. Until 8th grade we could go to the auditorium, library, or computer lab - no questions asked - if we finished our work. No hall pass, no escort, just us in a lab. Field trips were heavily unwatched too, like they had no problem letting us roam Galveston for hours alone - at 11 - for hours. Not a cellphone between us.

5. Twice we were placed into a co-taught class for the full year with the smart kids a year older than us. But we never had people added to our classes.

6. I did everything to graduate early, take “regular” classes, take the fewest credits needed to graduate. My counselor refused this. He refused to help me with HBCU schools. A handler it felt like. He was running whatever program it was like a boss.

I have always had teachers that protect me, listen to me and were easy to persuade or get help from. My group all turned out to be high earning, alcohol loving, balls of nerves.

I am starting to suspect that I was in the Australian version of GATE in the 2000s. I don’t have a lot of memories, but the main one is the hearing tests. Lots and lots of hearing tests, even though I had no hearing issues.

It is also crazy how many of the typical GATE characteristics I share, and this is something that I am truly astonished by.
About me:

Assessed as gifted, probably ND; High IQ; Never broken a bone; Multicoloured eyes (hazel/blue); Ancestor was a Freemason; Grandfather was high up government; Mother and self both have been in low level government roles; Israeli father; Born en caul; Difficult birth; Did not breathe after birth; Nearly drowned as a baby; First born; Obsessed with MK Ultra as a teenager; Multiple personalities; Depression/Anxiety; Unexplained, exaggerated competitive streak; Recurrent nightmares of drowning since toddlerhood; Speech therapy; Weird coincidences in own life and mother’s life; INFP; Probably psychic and has psychic best friend of 10+ years; Cannot handle multiple sounds at once; Difficulty understanding what people are saying.

I know I was in the GATE program in 3rd grade before I ended up being transferred to a “highly gifted magnet” for 4th and 5th grade.

I have so few memories of GATE, though my memories of 3rd grade are otherwise relatively clear.

Someone on this sub posted a picture of a red blazer/skirt combo and it brought back a memory of the woman who did the first test with me. She had dark curly hair, vaguely resembled Elaine from Seinfeld, and the blazer/skirt suit combo brought her back into my memory. I think she was a school psychologist.

I remember going into another classroom that was very dark. I remember going back to class. I don’t remember anything in between except once we made ice cream in this cylinder by rolling it across the room.

I don’t remember who else was in GATE with me.

Trying to recall these memories makes me feel crazy.

Before I dive into what I can recall- I am not by any means saying that it is GATE- it could’ve been something else that i’m simply unaware of… sooo- let me know!

I was in elementary school in the late 2010’s. Not the 80’s or 90’s where most people recall GATE, but I did very similar things.
I was pulled out of class with maybe 4 other kids, 5 in total. We would go to this separate room which had lots of books, ipads, and I think I recall hearing tests? But I’m not too positive on that.

On the ipads, which I think were only used on special occasions, there would be educational games we would play, or we would watch educational PBS kids shows… now I haven’t seen anyone else mention anything about this so it genuinely may have been a class for kids who are behind on reading and spelling.

But here’s what’s odd for me.

I am perfectly fine in reading and spelling- if anything I actually accelerate in english.

As for now, this is all I remember. Feel free to ask me any questions you have- i’m totally interested in this subreddit.

EDIT: Thinking about it now, i’m confused. My mom was told it was a special reading class- but I really didn’t struggle with reading itself, I just would add works that weren’t there in the text; random filler words. But I don’t necessarily get why I was there for years on end because once I hit 5th grade I was a higher reading level than my classmates. Not to mention they never brought up me possibly having dyslexia as a child, if that possibly was a concern— why the hell didn’t they tell my parents, and why did I stay in that class for years?

Hi,

I was in gate-type programs from 98 until 2011. I had a lot of issues with sleep walking. I used to open all of the cabinets, windows, and doors in the house and then go stand in the yard. When my mom made it so that I couldn’t do this she would find me crammed into small spaces or on top of things that I shouldn’t have been able to climb onto. For years she would say we were being haunted by a ghost. Things would move around me, either falling or flying or breaking with seemingly no explanation. I still sleep walk, sometimes turning on lights too. I still have very vivid dreams that feel more real than my waking life, and odd things will happen when I’m emotionally distraught. Does anyone else have a similar experience?

The CIA notoriously recruits LDS/Mormon church members. Curious if anyone had any connections, info, or memories of being in Utah and apart of the GATE program.

Hey everyone, I'm new to this thread.

I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was around 5-7. They also sent my mom packets about Autism but I was never officially diagnosed with it but I guess some of the symptoms overlapped (such as sensory stuff, I use to have to wear headphones because loud noises scared me), so they questioned it. My mom was also diagnosed with Schizophrenia or atypical Bipolar 1 (psychiatrist debated) and ADD, but she also believes that she's on the spectrum (it does run in the family like plenty of other things lol) and/or social anxiety disorder. She always told me growing up that we were special, indigo children, etc...

From pretty much all of elementary school - middle school/junior high I went through series of private tutoring and IEP evaluations. My memories are hazy, but I recall visual tests with cards (not sure if they were Zerner) and audio tests with beeps (also recall the Hemi-sync guy's voice but that could be a false memory).

I also have a forehead scar over my third eye, right eyebrow scar and lower lip scar. I even have this very early memory (possibly 3-5 years old) of being operated on by surgeons, I think when I was getting stiches in my lip. I don't remember the eyebrow story but with my lip my mom said it was the strangest thing. I was just standing around and for whatever reason bit clean through my lip, there was no fall, bump or anything. To this day she thinks I was possessed. And the forehead scar comes from falling into the table and hitting my head, and she also thinks I was pushed. Me and mom both have moles on our left forearms, she said they're birth marks. I bring all that up because apparently these kinds of scars are very common among those in the GATE program.

I know that IEP may technically be separate from GATE but I'm sharing all of these details because I'm wondering if there was an overlap, as if I was at least being tested for the GATE program or involved in any way. Me and others in my family are also UFO/NHI experiencers. I also had a cousin tell me that he and his father were both experimented on when they served in the Air Force in the 1940s and 50s. He stated it was somehow biological/genetic related but didn't elaborate and it was hard for me to follow. Admittedly, he's also schizophrenic so I sort of wrote off his story until I found out how common these stories are with "mental illness" or not.
