I'm a super white guy, and I looked at my arm and I see that freckle! I also see one next to it, and one next to that one, and one next t that one, and one next to that one...

But for real, it's likely from TB testing, maybe?

I was in gifted and currently turn unstructured data into actionable insights (aka high level pattern recognition). Really makes you think.....

But in reality GT classes in elementary were great because it just so happened that my friends and I were the only ones that tested into it. So we would just crush the schoolwork and hang out. All still friends to this day despite almost all of us living in different states.

Rumors of Epstein flying out influential people to have sex with underage girls was a conspiracy theory that goes back years. Alex Jones was talking about it for a long time before it came out that it was true.

Per my parents, I got in because I waltzed into kindergarten and started talking about a tornado that had killed some people and the teacher was like "yeah I need this kid out of here." I don't remember ever doing any specific test, but I suppose that's what they want you to think.

I also got bounced after a couple of rounds of the DO/NCS recruitment process, so it didn't work for me.

I was in Talented and Gifted, but I guess we got shafted because the most we did was learn how to develop pictures and study art.

My teacher got pissy with me one day because instead of saying "yes ma'am" I said "yes'm". She took me out to the hallway and tried to berate me into saying "yes ma'am" and when I refused she sent me to the office.

That's all I got. non-csb.

I have a freckle on my left arm and a scar on my forehead, but have never been considered gifted or talented in anything. Am I victim or just dumb and talentless?

The forehead scar is from a medical intervention

I remember, in explicit detail, when I gave myself the scar on my forehead before I was in G&T. It wasn't the CIA.

Creepy. I have the exact freckle on my left arm and it's the only one. Was in TAG in Dallas early 1980s. Parents moved to Arkansas when I was in 4th grade and the name changed to GT class.

It all depends on how you define the "conspiracy theory"

You also have to be weary of the CT "kernel of truth" dishonesty.

MK Ultra existed, but was basically a huge failure. So the kernel of truth that it existed is true, but that doesn't allow dishonest expansion from that kernel of truth into the usual MK Ultra CTs to "prove" them. You still have to get your own data to do that.
