[quote:Menny 18032514:MV85NjMyNjNfMzM5NTQ0OTFfQUY5NEJEREE=] [quote:Anonymous Coward 17927000:MV85NjMyNjNfMzM5NTM1OTFfMzM4MUVGNTQ=] [quote:Menny:MV85NjMyNjNfMzM5NDkwMDFfQjY1NTVGMjI=] So I just had a very interesting conversation with my mother that gave us both chills. All along I've sort of suspected that my father was possibly a subject in MK-Ultra or at the very least subjected to something similar to what we were. He did mention having IQ testing done as a child and being told it was very high, he also exhibited some symptoms of 'childhood schizophrenia' (what we'd now classify as some form of OCD). Unfortunately he died a few years ago so I was never able to ask him more about the sorts of tests he underwent or what he might remember. He rarely talked about that or his time in the Marines. Anyway, I was talking to my mother today about some of the things I've been reading here. I've mentioned this thread and my memory holes related to the program to her on several occasions over the past several months and she's never mentioned anything happening to her until today. She told me that she has a very clear memory of being pulled out of class when she was in fourth grade (this would have been around 1956) and taken to a room for tests by men she didn't know. She said they showed her a number of cards and asked her to describe the shapes behind the cards, and then she said 'they did things to me and I cried'. I asked her specifically what they did and she said she remembered that they hooked her up to some sort of machine and put things on her fingers and that it hurt. She said they asked her lots of questions and that she was terrified. She went home and told her parents and they went to the school to complain, but they never told her what the school told them or anything like that. My mom has told me before that she remembers being able to do extraordinary things as a very young child which I won't get into here, but I can't help thinking there might be a common thread here. At the very least it's a pretty chilling anecdote. [/quote] This last weekend I found out that my mother had an extremely high IQ when she was young. She went to a private school called California Childrens College - during the early and mid 50's. She had a private room while everyone else slept in dorms, she always thought that was strange. I've wondered if something happened to her there - my mother has had a sad life due to drug use and never did anything with her potential. She could paint, was musically gifted but couldn't do her basic studies well, due to having ADD (which they obviously didn't know of back then). My mother is very sensitive - like my sister and I. We can finish each others thoughts and even speak without speaking. I never thought anything of it until I was older - but there were plenty of times that one of us said nothing and the other answered what we were thinking of. When I was very young 3-4 I remember finishing her thoughts a lot and her looking at me incredulously. Over the years I think we would just take it for granted. I can't find anything on California Childrens College (in Hollywood) except a post on a site looking for people who went there (but that post is almost 10 years old). It mentioned that the owner but I can't find any info on her either. My mother was also part of the whole Hippie and LSD movement and took LSD for a year and a half straight! Her talents/gifts have been dulled by her drug use and I always wondered what could have been with her... [/quote] It would be great if you could find info from the school. I'm guessing specific records either don't exist or were destroyed as they were for the rest of us. (I of course had to do a cursory search myself and found a list of a surprising number of Russians on a European social networking site who list themselves as alumni, haha :wtf:) [/quote]
Original Message
Were you ever removed, many times, from your regular class for "testing"?
Were you shown a series of high speed images on a television, not once, but many times?
Was the school psychologist selectively interested in you?
