I was apart of the "Enrichment" program in the early 90s in VA. I don't have very much memory except doing some weird puzzles and the teacher turning off the lights and telling us to put our heads down on our desk, close your eyes, and imagine your on a beach. Quoting: SushiCat 78585613 I remember in 5th grade I had to fill out this book to determine if I would continue the classes in middle school. I remember not even trying, like subconsciously failing it. I remember the heads down and talks in the 4th and 5th grade. I also remember the book to fill out but I passed it and it was 6th, 7th and 8th grade all taught together by the same 4 teachers in a special side of the school quardended off by a door with a separate everything except lunch time or Gym. No but I remember them bringing the fluoride around every Wednesday. Student volunteers would come in with that big bottle of fluoride and the little cups and you'd have to swish for 30 seconds and then spit it out.

Yes. In health class, all the students were given a piece of paper and we were told to describe the taste. What was weird, some couldn't taste the chemical on the paper and some could not. I believe it was some kind of gene expression test. For me it was a bitter taste like alum powder. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78720925 There were times the whole school had to take hearing tests and eye tests also but I believe this was a public health function. We had TB tests on our forearms, the test administrators pressed a thumb tack like device with four pins pressing it hard on our forearm until some blood developed. I still have a mark on my forearm after 40+ years, now it is just a dark pigmentation like a liver spot but many years ago you could still see the individual pin pricks that looked like this :: Time frame late 60's and through the late 70's, a decade in Minnesota. some couldn't taste the chemical on the paper and some could.

What are you Hunting, OP ? [link to www.whale.to] Phase Two - Rebuilding the Pieces 2.3.1 Overview: During phase one, the basic personas were created, and their functions established. Now they must receive further training to fulfill their assigned missions, and thereby fully integrate into a cohesive operational assemblage. Furthermore, the child requires practice to master their psychic abilities and learn to apply them under the direction of their NSA handlers. These tasks are accomplished during phase two. Physical/mental trauma (torture) is still used, but in a less brutal, more targeted manner. Where phase one was carried out in a torture compound, with the child isolated from their parents/guardian. Phase two is carried out in a more natural setting, over a period of several years, while the child resides with their parents/guardian. During phase two training, the psychic child will visit their trainer once or twice a week, with each session lasting two hours. Retro-grade amnesia is invoked (via persona keying gesture, see 2.2.2) at the end of each session to hide the training (and associated trauma) from the dominate personality and parents/guardian. Over the years, a number of pediatric care facilities, child psychologists, and family clinics have been co-opted by the NSA, for use in phase two training. The recruitment of child care professionals by the NSA is accomplished through a combination of monetary inducements and targeted telepathic projection of patriotic sentiments/feelings. Given the high cost of medical schooling (and resultant debt), many medical school graduates find it hard to resist NSA overtures. These individuals operate as a shadow group within their respective professional organizations. In the past, many state operated reform schools, mental hospitals, and orphanages also housed covert phase two training centers. Again it was NSA supplied money, that motivated state bureaucrats and elected officials to allow (if not outright condone) such blatantly illegal activities. 2.3.2 The training room: In some ways, the phase two training room resembles a stripped down version of the phase one torture chamber (2.2.1 figure 1). During most sessions, just two individuals will conduct the training. A child psychologist, acting as the trainer. An assistant, who operates and monitors a combined EEG/electrical torture console. A standard padded medical examination table is used for training sessions. The room is purposely designed to look as innocuous as possible, and will include book shelves, storage cabinets, a desk, chairs, etc. At this point in the training, there is little chance the psychic child will retaliate, so security is less important than making sure the room will pass casual inspection by any outsider who might view its interior (janitors, building maintenance personnel, etc.). During a training session, the entry door is always locked. There will be a small anteroom off the main training room, used in connection with certain forms of psychic training. It will be disguised as an oversized storage room. The training room lights are dimmable, and some method for projecting images on the wall and ceiling (above the training table) will be available. Every available method is used to separate the training room perceptual experience, from that of the psychic child's normal (dominate personality) environment. Room wall/ceiling color and acoustical treatment, air temperature (below normal, and reminiscent of torture compound), odor, and lighting are all employed to enhance that separation. The trainer also uses a different vocal tone, inflection, and verbal pacing during the training session. The purpose of this separation being to widen the split between the normal world inhabited by the dominate personality, and the perceptual world experienced by personas invoked during the training session. Like the phase one torture chamber, an IV drip is used on the psychic child during training sessions. However, rather than employing psychoactive drugs intended to heighten pain perception, a mild hypnotic (sedative) is used. In the 1950s the drug of choice was chloral hydrate, one of the few sedatives known that did not suppress EEG response. Since then, the NSA has developed drugs that accomplish the same goal with less harmful side effects. The purpose of the hypnotic is to induce a dream like state. Thereby creating further separation between the psychic child's normal state of (dominate personality) awareness, and the altered mental state wherein the actual phase two training takes place. Just like the torture compound (2.1.4, 2.2.1), all aspects of a phase two training room are meticulously designed, and carefully controlled. |

I was in Northern Illinois and it was the mid to late 60s. I remember the hearing tests, the flash cards, being shown how to read with the projector on a screen. Given the Iowa Basic and SRA tests and completing them in record time. I was tested to have an IQ of 175ish. I had ESP cards and was highly praised when I could get them right. We had the cup of fluid to "sip, swirl, swish and spit". I had so many vaccines that my parents nor MD knew about and then got my regular vaccines too. I have perfect photographic memory, I can read a whole 300 page book in about 2 hours with exact memory. I have been exceedingly successful with schooling and career. I have several advanced degrees and my speciality is medicine and pharmacology. I never have vaccines now, do not trust them. Rarely take any medications. I also learned thru this vocabulary, spelling, and several languages. I also have an incredible gift that I can see a photograph of a place on the earth and I can tell you exactly where it is on google earth. I can also "read" people and know what they have wrong with them medically. I am an excellent diagnostician. Many MDs use me to help figure out difficult cases for diagnosis and treatment. I also remember them giving me pieces of plastic and they would show you pictures of figures and you saw it for only a few seconds and then you had to arrange the plastic pieces to replicate the figure you we're shown. It really got interesting when it became 3 D objects. I was pulled out of class around 1st grade because I was way ahead and usually bored. I would go into a room near the principals office with a table and a woman would sit across from me and test me. I never looked or don't remember her face. I do however remember the green sweater she wore. I liked doing the testing because it was a challenge and I always was able to figure it out. I don't remember anyone else doing this, I don't know if my parents knew I was doing this. I never talked about it with class mates. I do remember once going on a big air-conditioned bus that came to the school and picked me up. I don't remember anything else that happened on the bus. Years later at a meeting of UFO topics, I met a woman who I thought I knew and we talked afterwards and found out we had lived near each other in a different city when we were in graduate school. We had similar experiences during that time with being awaken in our sleep and taken to a place for other types of testing. That is where we remembered each other from. She knew Whitley Strieber and his exploits and we did keep in touch for a while. Then as mysteriously as we met and remembered, we just faded apart. It is interesting to focus on this time because now more and more things keep coming to mind. I don't have any bad feelings or memories but I find it strange that I totally forgot all this until I read this here. Quoting: Anonymous 75155617 1968, I too remember the projector and have the same reading ability. Also the ability to diagnose, which has been a blessing and a curse. Wondering if you read my earlier post about ancestry? Does your heritage date back to late 1600’s or 1700’s America? Yes I did see your post about genealogy! Yes I have ancestors who came to the US in the 1600s and 1700s, both sides thru VA and PA. I have a long list of very famous people both here and in England. King Egbert was the first king of England and my 40th Great grandfather. Charlemagne was on my father's side (direct descendent). Also related to Viking kings. |

I went through all of this testing and was even given tuition to attend summer camps at an elite college. The program at the college was for gifted and talented children. There were at least a hundred children there. That was seventh or eighth grade. I remember some of the tests. They shared test results with us pretty regularly. I maxed the Sat tests from sixth grade on. It wasn’t grade based. It would have results based on where the test thought you should be in school. I tested at graduate level from the age of 11.
