GATE

Happened across this, this morning. GATE Also operated on the UK in the 1970s, it is claimed.


What is GATE?
GATE = Gifted and Talented Education, it's a part of the American system. Basically kids are put through a screening test around grade 3-4 and some are selected by the results of the test to go into separate classes, sometimes separate schools for a day or so each week. Here they are given the most advanced memes the state has in order to ensure they follow the rest of the cattle, or better yet, become the left wing memes and get handed the keys to the gate.

There seems to have been two categories of G.A.T.E Students. Category 1 was kids that after the G.A.T.E program seemed to have been 'selected'. these kids seemed to have been groomed for specific classes and all pursied advanced stem degrees or political degrees, these kids also seem to have been helped along towards that end. Category 2 are kids who 'didnt get selected'. They found themselves in poisitions where their education was sabotaged from middle school on, refused entry into honors roll and other things that would make children that would otherwise be high achievers give up and become massive underachievers. People from the chans are category 2.

A few similarities about us became apparent as the threads naturally evolved:

Blue eyes (ok it's a given on /pol/)
Occipital Bun (aka math bump on the back of skull)
Birth Complications (like weeks early or not breathing)
Near Death Experiences (particularly drowning)
lack of memory of GATE - (we all did many many hours there, and it's very vague)
windows were covered
tendency to being followed (abductions and general tracking too)

Other similarities, less common but still a few exGATErs agree on these too:

Interest in /x/ phenomena
Heavy early twenties drug period
Forehead scares
Early speech therapy
First born sons
Migraines
Israeli art student girlfriends (not even joking)
Meme Magic
Premonitions/prophetic dreams
Above average intuition
 
Zener cards, reading boxes and headphone tests were features of my early childhood, as well as the head nun at school calling in my parents for a chat one Saturday afternoon to tell them I was ridiculously gifted for an 8 year old (well, that wore off). Early 20s drugs, blue eyes, first born, migraines as a teen... little bit freaked out by this. Anybody else? Probably half of dissensus.

lots of that stuff. I was part of a testing program from birth,

I did loads of acids with Woops a while back and got this persistent sense that we had been tested on in some way. What that memory is is what I think is behind this.

And there's a number of possibilities not least of all a kind of wish fulfilliment and a way to understand why we aren't currently running the world with our magical powers.

But I generally advocating choosing the most exciting answer to any given question. So I will say there The Programme exists and you were on it. So far can't say any more than that,

It's The Programme. But don't worry Mr Tea. You weren't selected for it and you aren't supposed to know about it so forget you ever heard about it.
Phew! It sounds pretty horrible. Reckon I dodged a bullet there.

Stranger Things and shows like it can't be ignored in bringing this stuff to the surface. Particularly stranger things.

This sounds pretty scandalous. Are we going to hear about Gate-gate in the lamestream media any time soon, do you suppose?

If you'd have said, for example, this is a symptom of the crisis of Aryan man, Blue eyed first born and disenfranchised in a multicultural and more meritocratic world, It would have been great.

Aryan man robbed of what he supposed his inheritance. That's one valid take among many.
