Was in the gifted program. Where’s the freckle? I have a scar on my forehead but it’s from falling off a tractor when I was 4.

That was the story they gave you after the implementation

If you could take an autistic person and have some of the most advanced pattern recognition, would you?

If i was a person with the job title to do so, absolutely i would. So yeah, i may exploit a few kids or two but i need high level thinking folks

CIA or other government agencies more than likely monitored all sorts of programs like that. They are at every college recruitment for a reason and talk with professors for that type of thing.

Jumping to implementing trackers in the kids is where you lose me.

The big issue with the muh CIA CTs is that the CIA has proven over decades to be quite incompetent. In fact, the reactions to trying to fix their failures is often the behavior referenced in the CTs.

Not sure I buy into the OP completely but…one of my best pals was in college at let’s call it a very liberal institution. His choice. Said he was literally approached by a man in black who said he fit a - as Martin Blank said - fit a certain moral ambiguity and would he be interested in working for the CIA. So he did for 30 years and has some wild stories. To this day he says he has no idea what test or whatever he took to lead them to him
It’s a crazy world out there

There's a conspiracy theory that the Gifted and Talented programs in the 80s, 90s and early 2000s were not meant to provide advanced education, but were actually covert CIA or government screening and conditioning projects designed to identify children with latent psychic abilities, high-level pattern recognition, or remote-viewing potential.



If that's code for creating a program for smart kids, then locating that program in low-performing schools to boost the school's overall performance, then I think it's true

I was in GT from 4th-8th in the early 80s. Have the freckle, have the scar, had the testing.

But Im psychic and knew what those frickers were up to.


(Honestly, had the scar since 1st grade, have a lot of freckles, the testing was done at LSU in the fledgling days of the program. Conspiracy is BS.)

I was in the G&T program. What would you like to know?

Just be advised that I can tell you, but then I have to kill you...

I was in GATE, I have a small round indentation right between my eyes, the forearm freckle, golden rings around my eyes, I remember the pink drink but nothing else really. None of the extrasensory stuff but could recall the flashcard codes.

The crazy thing is I have had an insane easy time with law enforcement. The last officer that pulled me over apologized and we t back to his car in less than a minute.
