Beschrijving

Thousands of people who went through gifted education programs share the same recurring dream: a liminal space, empty and wrong, that started in childhood and never stopped. An abandoned mall. A classroom after hours. A room with a checkerboard floor and a staircase leading somewhere they were never supposed to go alone. In Part 2 of our GATE investigation, we go deeper into the shared dreamscapes, the paperwork some of them kept, and the Monroe Institute, a Virginia research center that developed brain-synchronization technology using sound and had a quietly documented relationship with the U.S. government's remote viewing program, Project Stargate. This isn't just a story about a gifted education program. It's a story about what happens when someone decides a child's mind is a resource. If any of this lives in your memory, find us at @thelosttapes22. Every account is another piece of a file that refuses to stay closed. Start with Part 1: The Gate Program and the Hunt for Psychic Children. https://open.spotify.com/episode/0mvu9idWE2c38bu8sppO2A?si=NYm5fv46QtS22jdzJXDy9Q [https://open.spotify.com/episode/0mvu9idWE2c38bu8sppO2A?si=NYm5fv46QtS22jdzJXDy9Q]

The Gate Program and The Hunt for Psychic Children

In the 1980s, 90s, and early 2000s, millions of American schoolchildren were quietly pulled out of class and brought to a room with an instructor they'd never seen before, a locked briefcase, and a set of tests that had nothing to do with reading or math.The program was called GATE or Gifted and Talented Education. The official story: academic enrichment for bright kids. The memories thousands of alumni are sharing online: something else entirely.On this episode of The Lost Tapes, we dig into the shared memories that shouldn't exist.. the Zener card tests, the pink liquid, the vivid dreams, the bones that never broke and follow the thread back to Project MKUltra, Project Stargate, and a Cold War government that desperately wanted to know if psychic ability was real.Were they just teaching gifted children? Or were they looking for something?—For more Lost Tapes and to reach out with your own GATE memories or strange stories, find us on Instagram @thelosttapes22.
