Gifted and Talented (GATE)
What is Really Going on With it?
When I was in first and second grade, I was part of the GATE program—but something about it was pretty sus looking back. They used to bus me to an unmarked trailer a few miles from my elementary school. It wasn’t isolated, but it was definitely off-campus and not something anyone talked about. I was one of the youngest kids there, and when I asked my mom about it recently, she had no idea they were even taking me off school grounds. I remember being handed Zener cards—the kind used in ESP testing—and vague flashes of other strange assessments, though the details are foggy now. What I do remember clearly are the nightmares, and that I started sleepwalking during that time. After we moved and I was no longer in the program, it all stopped, just like that. Last year, I tried to get my records to find out what that program actually was, but the school only had a single page confirming I’d been enrolled. Nothing else. Like the rest had been scrubbed clean.
GATE represent! 🥳

Just your basic psychotic United States Intelligence Community Mind Kontrol talent ID program, me thinks.
It used to be called AT- Academically Talented, then the name was changed to GATE. Makes you wonder about the Billy goat GATES connection, when they changed the school education programs.
My son was in this program along with two or three of his close friends in the eighties, probably third grade. One teacher suggested putting my younger son in the program also, but another teacher thought it wasn't a good idea for him.
I'm not aware of anything nefarious about the situation. I'm not aware of any strange tests or experiments, but I think I'll ask my son. We had a very good school with excellent teachers. They did some creative things. They read a book called "Two Years Before the Mast" and learned some skills, then went to Dana Point in southern California for one night on the reproduction of the famous ship in the book. Parents were there, not on the ship, but very close by. It was a good experience.
I have a relative who is a scout for a professional sports team. That and current situations have made me aware of the scouting process and people who watch, trace and track talented young people. Whether it's athletics, music, drama, academics - whatever it is, being outstanding might be a curse instead of a blessing. I think they are targets.
I've read that the WEF scouted out people early on, educated, trained/programmed, etc. then managed to get them placed in government positions.
If I had school age kids now, I wouldn't want them in school. I think it's a dangerous place to be, and I think they don't learn much that is useful. History is a lie. Science is a lie. Geography is a lie... The social aspects of school are questionable. (I realize there are huge differences in different schools and different parts of the country or world.) Kids do need music, art, and sports. Community programs might be a better solution.
