This is the first step along your path to a gateway. >> If this sound sparks something in your memory, a feeling you can't explain, you might have heard it before you were old enough to question it. Thousands of former students across the United States remember being exposed to audio just like this in classrooms and testing labs, in small rooms with no windows.
All under the banner of a program called Gate, which stands for gifted and talented education. Most were told it was part of an evaluation, a gifted test, a focus exercise, a hearing test. But what if it wasn't any of those things?
What if this sound was part of of a government-f funed psychological experiment? One you never agreed to and were never meant to question. Tonight, we're pulling back the curtain on the gate program and the disturbing possibility that it wasn't just about identifying gifted children, but about conditioning them, studying them, and in some cases controlling them.
What most people remember as Gate was supposed to be simple, a government-funded program designed to support gifted children, the kids who finished their worksheets early, who read above their grade level, who tested unusually high on standardized assessments. At least that's the story we were given. But now thousands of adults, people who have never met, never spoke, didn't grow up in the same state, are recalling memories that do not fit the harmless picture of a gifted education program.
Memories of being pulled from class by someone who didn't work at the school. Memories of windowless rooms, strange boxes, Xener style cards, headphones attached to briefcases, hypnosis style audio, mysterious pink drinks, and the repeated instruction to visualize. Don't guess, visualize.
These are not part of the curriculum in any district handbook. These are not the tests given by school nurses or guidance counselors. And yet, the details match across thousands of people from the late '7s to the 80s and '90s.
people separated by geography but connected by memory. Because when we compare these recollections to declassified government programs from the same decades, the overlap becomes too strange to ignore. Predecessors to the gate program emerged in the late 1950s.
Coincidentally, this is also around the time the federal government stepped directly into public education through the National Defense Education Act. They funded psychological tests, IQ screenings, creativity assessments, and early childhood evaluations designed specifically to identify children who showed unusual potential. That part is documented.
That part is real. But here's where it becomes unsettling. At the exact same time, behind the scenes, the CIA was running covert behavioral experiments.
Projects Bluebird, Artichoke, and eventually MK Ultra. They were studying hypnosis, memory alteration, remote viewing, sensory manipulation, and altered states of consciousness. And every single method they used shows up in the memories of certain gate alumni, the headphones, the tones and frequencies, the guided imagery, the dissociation, the visualization tests, the missing time, the amnesia-like gaps in childhood memory, the timelines match, the techniques match, and the population being tested.
Now to be clear, we do not have proof that Gate was part of an MK Ultra successor program. We do not have a document that says this happened in schools, but the patterns, the timing, the memories, and the psychological methods involved are not random. At some point, the question becomes, were these truly gifted programs?
Or were some of us quietly filtered into something else? Tonight we will be going down the rabbit hole through the history of gifted education, the gateway process, MK Ultra, the Stargate Project, and the think tanks that shaped America's psychological warfare. Because to understand the memories resurfacing now, we have to understand the systems that created them.
And one thing is already certain. Gate was never just about academics. To understand how a gifted education program could carry undertones of psychological experimentation, we have to look at the institution that pioneered the science of mass behavior itself.
A place not in the United States but in London. The Tavistock Institute of Human Relations. Tavistock began as a clinic helping soldiers with shell shock, what we now call PTSD.
But the military quickly realized something. If you can understand trauma, you can reproduce it, control it, weaponize it. Tavistock's researchers started asking questions.
How do you break down identity? How do you fragment memory? How do you shape group behavior without them noticing?
How do you guide entire societies in a direction without them realizing they're being steered? These weren't theoretical thoughts. They were experiments.
When Tavistock reorganized into an institute in 1947, everything changed. They were no longer confined to medicine. Now they could study governments, corporations, schools, media, social movements, entire populations.
And they were no longer limited to funding from the British government because suddenly the Rockefeller Foundation was writing the checks. Rockefeller money helped export Tavistock's psychological warfare strategies straight into American institutions. From their research came modern corporate training, behavioral economics, political messaging, focus groups, propaganda modeling, group think theory, educational compliance structures.
If you've ever wondered why certain classrooms felt eerie, structured, controlled, that architecture traces back to Tavistock. Wilfred Bayion, one of their leaders, believed groups behave like individuals with defense mechanisms, with unconscious fears, with predictable reactions. And if a group can be predicted, it can be controlled.
John Ree, the institute's director, said something even more disturbing. If we are to infiltrate the professional and social activities of other people, we must imitate the totalitarians. He was talking about education, medicine, journalism, religion, influence from the inside, soft control, invisible guidance.
And it was this psychological architecture that merged seamlessly with American intelligence programs in the coming decades. After the Rockefeller connection, Tavistock's influence spread fast into American defense circles. Three institutions would carry that torch.
Rand Corporation, Stanford Research Institute, MITER Corporation. Rand studied nuclear war, psychological stress, propaganda, and population behavior. They modeled how people think under fear, scarcity, or manipulation.
Rand is also where early cognitive science, the study of how humans process information, merged with military strategy. Stanford Research Institute is important for one major reason, remote viewing. The CIA used SRRI as the laboratory for Project Skinnate and later Project Stargate, training individuals to see distant locations or predict events, access non-ordinary states of consciousness.
The children who remember Zenner cards in Gate Sri use the exact same cards. the children who recall being told to visualize. That's the precise instruction in remote viewing protocols.
The overlap is unsettling. MITER Corporation MITER is different. Quiet, opaque, highly classified.
They design surveillance infrastructure, behavioral prediction systems, national security algorithms, data tracking platforms, psychological influence tools. Their clients include the CIA, NSA, FBI, and Department of Defense. MITER builds the systems, the pipes, the neural network of government intelligence work.
If there was a channel connecting educational profiling data to intelligence agencies, MITER would be the one designing it. And again, this all expanded during the same decades that GATE was created, funded, and normalized across public schools. If you want to understand how all the threads come together, the gate program, the gateway process, MK Ultra, Stargate, and the think tanks that shaped psychological warfare, there's one place you have to look.
A quiet research center in rural Virginia, small, unassuming, peaceful, and somehow connected to all of the different mind experiments the government ever conducted. I'm talking about the Monroe Institute, founded by a radio executive named Robert Monroe and eventually studied, adopted, and quietly monitored by US intelligence. But why?
Because Monroe discovered something the CIA had been trying to achieve for decades. A reliable, replicable method to alter human consciousness without drugs, trauma, or coercion. Monroe's work started innocently enough.
He was experimenting with audio tones and brain wave patterns for learning enhancement. But something strange happened. Participants reported leaving their bodies entering dreamlike states, accessing memories with perfect clarity, experiencing remote or expanded awareness.
And this wasn't a one-off. It was repeatable, predictable, engineered. Monroe called the method hemisync, short for hemispheric synchronization.
Using binaural beats, Monroe discovered that you could drive the brain into deep trance, hyperfocus, dissociation, elevated intuition, sensory separation, remote viewing just by using sound. No hypnosis scripts, no chemicals, no electrodes, just audio frequencies. And that's when the intelligence community quietly stepped in.
In 1983, the US Army Intelligence and Security Command analyzed Monroe's methods. The result was a 29page classified report called analysis and assessment of the gateway process. It was authored at Fort me, the same base where project stargate remote viewers trained.
The report concluded, consciousness can be manipulated. Altered states can be engineered. Out of body perception may be real, the brain can be retuned like a radio.
The Monroe techniques can be weaponized. The CIA believed Monroe had found a doorway to hack human perception, to understand and ultimately control human consciousness. Now, it's time to start putting all of the pieces of the puzzle together and ask ourselves why.
Why were these children selected for the gate program? What was the government really looking for? What was their ultimate goal for these kids?
Let's start with the memories. Thousands of people are now reporting they experienced while in the gate program, being pulled out of class unexpectedly, long periods in small, quiet rooms, hearing tests with odd tones or pulsing frequencies, relaxation tapes that induced dissociation or floating sensations. Xener cards or psychic style guessing games.
Men in suits carrying metal briefcases with wires. Unexplained drinks or liquids before and or after certain tests. Sudden unexplainable gaps in memory.
Out of body sensations. Feeling observed during problem solving tasks. Now let's take a closer look at each of these memories.
One, the strange tones and headphones. Kids remember listening to sounds that made them calm, dissociated, sleepy, detached, floaty, hyperfocused. This aligns perfectly with the Monroe Institute bonural beat research, the gateway process, altered state induction, MK ultraensory manipulation, remote viewing prep sessions.
The tones weren't random. They were engineering brainwave states. two Xener cards and psychic guessing games.
A huge number of former gate kids recall ESP style activities, guessing symbols, predicting numbers, identifying objects without seeing them. This matches Stargate project protocols, Army remote viewing training, early ESP experiments by the CIA, and Tavistock's perceptual testing models. These games were never just games.
They were screening tools. Three, the mysterious pink drink. A surprising number of people recall drinking an unknown liquid before and after testing.
This is consistent with preconditioning fluids, mild sedatives, focus enhancing mixtures used in early ESP research, placebo priming substances. Another theory surrounding the mysterious pink drink is the fluoride in it worked as a barrier to a functioning pineal gland, a tiny structure in the middle of the brain. a p-sized organ many cultures have called the seat of the soul.
Ancient civilizations connected it with intuition, inner vision, and access to states of consciousness beyond ordinary perception. We know for a fact that fluoride does indeed calcify the pineal gland. We also know many children during that time were given a fluoride drink at school to supposedly help prevent cavities.
So, putting the pieces together, maybe that's why kids in the gate program were made to drink this mysterious substance. Maybe there were certain children they wanted to block from having these special abilities and did so by calcifying their pineal gland. However, much of this is purely speculation.
Number four, memory gaps, missing time, or fragmented recall. This is perhaps the most chilling overlap. Many gate kids say, "I don't remember what happened in the room.
I only remember the walk there and back. The memories feel dreamlike. That's textbook hypnosis.
Guided dissociation. Transstate testing. Monroe Institute focused states of consciousness.
MK Ultra amnesiainducing protocols. This type of amnesia lines up with methods that don't require drugs, just audio and suggestion. You might be asking yourself, why kids?
Why this group? Reason number one, children are more suggestible. Their brains are more plastic.
Their imaginations are more accessible. Their trans states are deeper and easier to induce. Kids respond to bural beats and hypnosis far more strongly than adults.
Reason number two, kids haven't built psychological defenses yet. If you wanted to study intuition, altered perception, dissociation, psychic sensitivity, hypnotic responsiveness, then kids were the ideal subjects. Reason number three, kids express psychic and intuitive traits.
Children show higher spontaneous intuition, stronger imaginative projection, more vivid imagery, higher openness, less internal censorship. When the US government shifted from IQonly selection to identifying children with the ability for creativity, abstraction, perceptual sensitivity, pattern recognition, emotional intensity, imaginative immersion. Then Gate became the perfect filter not for geniuses but for the perceptually unusual, the sensitive, the dissociative, the intuitive, the same minds that excelled in remote viewing and the same minds Monroe believed could access broader consciousness.
When you ask why these children would be studied and tracked, the answer comes from the government's own documents. They wanted to identify future intelligence assets, remote viewing potential, susceptibility to hypnosis, capacity for dissociation, high creativity problem solvers, non-ordinary mental functioning, rare cognitive profiles, the psychologically porous. Every single program, MK Ultra, Stargate, Gateway, Rand, Stanford Research Institute was looking for the same type of mind.
And what group provides a perfect population sample? Gifted children. But more specifically, highly unusual gifted children.
The ones who think sideways. The ones who feel differently. The ones who drift in and out of deep thought.
The ones who leave their body when bored in class. The ones who daydream so deeply they lose time. Those kids weren't just gifted.
They were different. And difference is valuable. to intelligence agencies, to psychological researchers, to anyone who believes the human mind can do more than it appears.
These children represented potential. It's important to acknowledge that not every child in the Gate program had a strange experience. In fact, many Gate students remember nothing unusual at all.
For them, it was exactly what the curriculum described. Harder books, special projects, a small group of advanced learners, and an occasional trip to a separate classroom. But that doesn't dismiss the thousands of accounts from students who seem to experience something much more nefarious, something unexplainable.
There can also be confusion around the standard hearing tests schools would conduct during this time. Millions of children will remember wearing the blocky headphones with strange sounds coming from them. You would typically be asked to raise your hand when you heard a sound.
And this was simply a standardized hearing test to ensure you didn't have any auditory issues that would distract you from getting an education. But the binaural wave and hypnosis tapes were something entirely different. And the children who underwent experimentation with them definitely know the difference between the two experiences.
As we wrap up tonight's investigation, let's zoom out and look at the bigger picture. Because when you place the pieces side by side, a pattern starts to emerge. On one side you have the think tanks.
Tavistock studying group psychology and social influence. Rand modeling human behavior under stress. Stanford Research Institute pioneering remote viewing and altered states.
MITER developing psychological profiling and surveillance systems. On the other side you have the covert projects. Bluebird and artichoke testing hypnosis and amnesia.
MK Ultra pushing the limits of druginduced mind fragmentation. The gateway process, mapping consciousness through sound. And Project Stargate, training psychic spies to perceive at a distance.
Different names, different decades, but all aiming at the same target, understanding and influencing the human mind. And right in the middle of all of this, you have GATE, a nationwide program quietly identifying children who were highly intuitive, highly creative, highly sensitive, dissociative, exceptional at pattern recognition, unusually aware or perceptive. The exact traits intelligence agencies were trying to measure, cultivate, and recruit.
So the question becomes almost impossible to ignore. What were these children being prepared for? Were they meant to be future analysts?
The kind who could see patterns others missed? Future operatives, future remote viewers, intuitive strategists, psychological assets, or were they simply being studied, observed quietly to understand how gifted, sensitive minds respond to conditioning, to stimuli, to influence? No one is saying every gate student was targeted.
Most were not. But the overlap between what these think tanks wanted to build what these intelligence programs wanted to test and what these children uniquely could do. It's hard to call all of that coincidence.
Maybe this wasn't just gifted education. Maybe it was a pipeline, a filter, a long-term observation program. Perhaps even the early stages of training for something the public still doesn't know exists.
We may never get the official story. Those files were buried long ago. But the memories are resurfacing.
The patterns are undeniable. and the children they once selected are now adults asking the questions no one else ever did. This story is far from over.
