There is a reason why we're all obsessed with deciphering the meaning of the Plandemic and so much more. We were trained long ago. Question everything.

New to this forum. Former GATE/TAG/CTY kid. I don't know what my IQ technically was, but I was ranked as exceptionally gifted. Participating in GATE wasn't really a choice. There were about 7 or 8 of us that I recall. I reached out to a couple friends after seeing this thread and having curiosity around why I cannot recall the lessons or work done in GATE very well. This post seriously confirmed for me how much I Belong here. Want to add in..

FOX is the name of the finals club to whom GATES belonged at school. Intresting that the microsoft typography test includes, "quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" afro

Listen, I found out what’s going on. You can too. Start doing your genealogy as far back as you can. At one point you will be totally blown away at the person you discover is your ancestor, and all your questions will be answered. You will know for sure why they were doing the culling and the investigating.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 48818885


I started doing the research this last year and you are on point with this feedback. Ancestor was in congress back in the day, huge part of early hawaii colonialism and the generation above me knows nothing of it!!!! I found it all out with the research. I've been amazed that so much information could just be "lost"!

Academically Talented Programs New York late 70's early 80's.
Moved to Ohio they had no such thing. The teacher couldn't believe how far ahead I was.
Why what does this mean?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78234390


I was put in the gifted program in the 5th grade.
Only a couple of others from my school were in the program.

All the "gifted" students in the school district would be bussed once a week to the "technical center".
He we were given a battery of tests, and Projects were assigned.

My family moved to another school district when I was in seventh grade.

Within a few months, I had been "recommended" by 3 separate teachers for the TAG "Talented and gifted" program.

In high school, this program was my home room and also two periods of each day were devoted to TAG all four years.

Most of my freinds were from Tag program in high school.
It was nice because I never had to take an "English" class the whole 4 years as Tag fulfilled the English requirement.

Lots of testing. Lots of interest from school psychologist "especially in middle school".

Long-time poster popping in and bumping the thread. Both sides of my family are dead ends when it comes to genealogy - my father was adopted and my mother's side is not very forthcoming with family information, other than a known connection to WWII-era British intelligence. I'd love a point in the right direction if this is true.

How's everyone holding up?

Close friend was in the program with me since 1st grade and he got double jabbed, dude did his dissertation on ayahuasca too smfh. Looking back at my peers I haven't seen in decades I wouldn't be suprised if most of them got jabbed as well. Another close friend grew up in a different state program, was able to suss out on his own at the time ulterior motive left on his own, unjabbed but believed in the Trump psyop lol.

Who remembers being tasked with "seeing" outcomes in the current scenario?

I don't remember if this was one of the scenarios but I do recall being presented with example scenarios and being asked what the outcome might be.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28925333


They had us workshopping lifeboat ethics which I remember taking very seriously. As with other experiments I also recognized at the time the subject was psychologically disturbing for some of my classmates, perhaps myself as well. Ironically the current covid transition play had me rechecking this thread to seek higher signal input. Sifting through most GLP threads has to be tedious for most of us.

I'm in awe with the level of manufactured misplaced fear. I'd prefer fear-inducing frequencies being used on tech devices in addition to overt media control.

I gleaned from a covid thread few days ago, a thought I already had but wished not to post for its darkness. The masking of everyone in public along with six feet creates almost complete anonymization and dehumanization of society. Obviously parallel to women wearing burqas and to the extreme end Guantanamo Bay type prisoners with full abduction head coverings. Searching "Guantanamo Bay prisoner uniform" this is the first image that comes up:

[link to www.amnesty.org.uk (secure)]

Bit ashamed I didn't know till now. From what we know I'd say it wouldn't be poor taste to use this image as witness not only for the unknown political prisoners around the world but also for where most of society can be headed.

Yeah, SRA.
They had a chart on the wall to track your progress (or display it LOL). I am sure my SRA scores contributed to my MGM status.

Years later, my youngest daughter's school had an "Accelerated Reader" program they did on the computers. Similar thing to SRA.

My daughter was the only Kindergartener using the program, and by the second grade had the highest scores in the entire school. I only know this because I was the IT guy for the district and had access to the program on the server, could download all the reports, etc.

Some form of that was in use still in the late 80's. I remember it pretty clearly.

Curious if any of the other MGM/GATE kids can read upside down and backward at nearly full-speed? I attribute that to the hours spent on that software. I read by rapid pattern recognition, doesn't matter if the pattern is flipped or rotated.

Sadly, this thread is full of rabbit holes, but few revelations. It's worth reading. Your memories are similar to most of ours. But years later, I still have no real answers.

Most likely...we were subject to a somewhat unethical experiment in eugenics, spearheaded by followers of the human potential movement with prominent roles in education...and most likely, quietly funded by some 3-letter agency or another.

Beyond that? If you find answers, please share them!
