Re: Were You Part Of The "Mentally Gifted Minds" Program In California Scools back in the 70's?
Candy, I have a very bizarre and awkward question.

Why is your name candy corn if you're from the UK? Candy is an americanism. Surely it would be sweets...?
 Quoting: Joshua Flynn 19488825


Some of us get around. I tried to change the flag to a random country to confuse people even more, but it insists on tagging me as UK.
 Quoting: Candy Corn


Okay. Just curious.
 Quoting: Joshua Flynn 19488825


No problem. I was raised in a bubble of sorts...grew up on an ivy league campus. I don't even fit into my own regional culture because of it, so I've pretty much given up on trying to fit into anyone else's.
 Quoting: Candy Corn


It's okay, I just pay attention to small details and seeming inconsistencies. Spotted so many lies that way (for example, starbucks and india might not seem like a contradiction until you know indian economical policy). I typically have to ask questions about it (bugs people to no end).

I must say, going back and reading this thread from the beginning today sure brought back alot of memories. So here's my new question. Did anyone else have special guests show up on occasion to share some bizarre facts with you? I remember a man talking about the bermuda triangle and how his wife disappeared without a trace. Anyone else remember stuff like that?

Thank you, Australia and Candy Corn. I am not the one who asked the question about the vaccination scar, but I am the one who bumped it because it is important. I am still in the process of reading through the posts and this takes time. My access to the internet has been limited also. Regardless of my personal problems, rather because of them, I don't understand why my bump was met with hostility.
I'm not stupid, either, as I replied earlier. I am, however, at the end of my rope. The vaccination scar question is particularly pertinent to me right now because mine has recently been "active." I apologize for not remembering to search this thread for a particular words until last night.
Anyone who has endured the level of harassment and interference that seems to pervade the experiences of most people who post on this thread should recognize the feeling of having had enough. It helps me to read this thread and i would like to be a part of the ongoing conversations. Maybe I have will something to add that is of merit. Right now though, I am really stressed and come here in order to try to keep myself together, whatever that means.
I have a great understanding of what is behind the experiences that are recounted in this thread. Very little that i have read in this thread is new to me. The vaccination scar question was.
One thing that we must have, along with a "healthy" sense of "paranoia," is compassion. Without that, we become no more than agents for the perpetuation of the sick, twisted systems that have perpetrated on so many people's minds and lives.

I'm with the newbie genius that thinks they have it all figured out. I mean it's so obvious, I can't believe we never figured this all out before. It's all about a vaccination scar which some of us may or may not even have. Pure genius.

But seriously please don't let the sarcasm concern you. Please by all means, share your discoveries.

Come, unlock our minds....

No Dear One, it's not all about a vaccination scar. Was that implied? I am not a newbie to this thread or this topic. I also never implied that I have it all figured out. And it's true, there is very little I have read that is new to me. I said that I may have something of merit to post, of course after I search this thread for keywords. You, my dear, have not been visiting this thread for very much longer than me. From my understanding, we have both lived a life fraught with experiences that are "outside of the norm." Mine has been 55 years long. I was not a part of a large official program. My genetics are different from what I gather to be those of the majority of people posting. Maybe I do have something to add:
Unlock your heart, please. As I did imply earlier, that is the only thing that distinguishes us from "them."

My agenda is survival, at this point. Not just my personal survival, either.
I'm not trying to put any angle on this. Last night, I did read a number of posts concerning vaccination scars that develop little bumps and itching periodically. My thought was that my body was cleansing out the poison (vaccinia.)
I mean no disrespect to anyone. I, too, have given extensively of myself, though not in this thread. Is sharing more of my life's experiences here going to subject me to more sarcasm and ridicule?
And attacks?

Remember that many of Earth's people feel that the heart is most important. I have heard tell that the mind is centered in the heart.

not if you read the thread first.

then youd understand the "attacks"as you put it, the "sarcasm" etc as you percieve it...if you read the thread you may not percieve any responses as any of those in fact, youd more than likely expect those responses...these people are fed up..to expect anything imo would be invalidating.

Not sure I understand.

You guys are going at "oronoca" for a perceived wrong? Whilst I agree that no-one can ask you anything (or they can but you're not obliged to answer), I can't help noticing that "oronoca" might be on the end of perhaps slightly unnecessary aggression?

I mean, you only need to state why you'll not answer once (or even just that you won't answer) then refer back to the prior statement.

It's not like he's the first person whose been attacked so far (hi!). Government is wrong for conducting such experiments but that does not justify attacking everybody who walks in (agent or not agent).


You do realise provocateur efforts are typically the mainstay tool of the socially manipulative, not only because any kind of provoked reaction makes the person reacting look bad, but because it gives away social tells that enables a capable reader to know what you're thinking. Sorta like a lie detector but using social cues to set the baseline.

In short: if he's innocent, he doesn't deserve the flak, but if he's an agent, then giving them the flak will give them the responses they are looking for. You don't have to respond to questions, but you don't have to be mean either.

 Quoting: Joshua Flynn 13017980


Thank you, Joshua Flynn. I braved coming back here to read if there were any further comments. Maybe i'm exposing to much of myself here, but here goes: I was in tears after reading the the replies. I am most certainly not an agent. It is really understandable that one should question given the level of subterfuge that agents are capable of. I am a woman also. A mother and grandmother. My adult children were not a pat of any gifted and talented program (homeschooled.) Nonetheless, they have been tracked, monitored and messed with. I was pulled out of class. along with 4 others in 1969 for an experimental math program, complete with fast moving images and subsequent loss of memory as to what it was all about and what the man who spoke with us said. In the ensuing years, I have experienced a high level of harassment and interference, especially through loved ones. I posted an incident from my early childhood on this thread. I could go on. As I wrote earlier, there is little I have read so far that I haven't either experienced or intuited. In writing this, I did not and do not mean to sound arrogant. I started posting because it's been intense lately and it's good to remind myself that I and my family are not alone.
That being said, I have gotten over my hurt feelings, but agree that attacking is not justified. Yes, I harp on compassion. Some of us come here because we have been and are being attacked and misunderstood in many arenas. For the sake of someone else who may be on the edge in the future: Please give the awkward "newcomer" the benefit of the doubt. I don't think it harms to do so. Agents will be agents. I know that there are people astute enough here to run circles around their attempts at subterfuge.

Re: Were You Part Of The "Mentally Gifted Minds" Program In California Scools back in the 70's?
Okay so I'm up to page 11 of this thread, got sidetracked by google and yahoo news links omg, anyway my next question is this? Those of us here who were in the mgm or it's national equivalent program, do you all feel like you've lost about 50 IQ points since then? Did you read "Flowers for Algernon"? It wasn't required of me to read it, but I was frequently given books by random adults and told that I would enjoy reading it, and I did. Connections anyone?

I must say, going back and reading this thread from the beginning today sure brought back alot of memories. So here's my new question. Did anyone else have special guests show up on occasion to share some bizarre facts with you? I remember a man talking about the bermuda triangle and how his wife disappeared without a trace. Anyone else remember stuff like that?
wtf

Yeah. Over my life I've had a few weird incidences where real oddball strangers have approached me and told me scary or weird things. Like one time I was in Vegas and some doorman insisted on telling me the story of how he had a heart attack and then lived. Stuff like that. I thought I was just a weirdo magnet. But now I see there's more to this. Since finding this thread I have begun to have memories stimulated. I remembered waking up in the back of my parents' car maybe 3 dor 4 years old (so this would have been c. 1961, 62) and seeing my "blankie" all black and hard, covered with blood. The emotion was one of fear as my dad drove away from somewhere in the middle of the night. They told me I had a nosebleed. I remember having lots of nosebleeds now. WTF indeed.
