On social media, many viewers were stunned after a viral video showed a mom revealing that the Gifted And Talented Education (GATE) program was actually a CIA training program decades ago.
A new wave of curiosity has emerged around the Gifted And Talented Education (GATE) program, with some adults questioning if they were unknowingly trained by the CIA.
Social media has become the platform where former GATE students share their suspicions and the strange memories they have of their childhood lessons.
Additionally, Anna Mills, known online as @annamillsxo23, has reignited interest in this conspiracy theory by posting videos and revealing her past assignments.
What were the strange assignments in GATE classes?
On social media, Anna Mills, who goes by annamillsxo23, recently shared some of her childhood GATE assignments on TikTok, leaving viewers puzzled.
In one video, she flipped through a binder containing her classwork from the 90s. Mills questioned, “What were you training us for?”
Her assignments, which included cracking codes, plotting graphs, and learning sign language, Morse code, and Russian, seemed unusually focused on creative problem-solving.
Many of the lessons even mentioned aliens or Russian culture.
Was the GATE program linked to the CIA’s gateway program?
Anna’s video quickly went viral and sparked debate a mong viewers.
In the comment selection some individuals have speculated that the GATE program was connected to the CIA’s Gateway Program, which was developed in the 1980s.
This federal initiative was designed to train people to enhance their perception and awareness of their inner abilities.
The program used meditation and sound recordings featuring “non-verbal audio patterns” hidden in sounds like waves and wind.
While, some former GATE students claim they remember similar audio tests during their time in the program.
Were the GATE tests similar to CIA training methods?
Rachel, a TikTok user known as @rachelthedreamer, recalled how the tests were not just IQ assessments but also involved meditation-based exercises.
While, she said they had to listen to a woman’s voice on an audio tape while wearing large earphones.
These tests, along with the unusual subject matter, have raised suspicions.
Some believe the GATE program had connections to the CIA’s methods for enhancing mental abilitie
Why do former GATE students struggle to remember their experiences?
Mills and other former GATE students have continued sharing their memories on social media, but many claim they have only faint recollections of their experiences.

Additionally, some express confusion, wondering why they can barely remember anything about the program.
One commenter asked, “Why don’t I remember a single thing except the building and entryway?” The difficulty in recalling memories has led to theories that their minds were altered or erased.
One person said: Possibly but much more so if you had a lot of trauma in childhood. The ones of us with scary rage waiting to come out. Perfect house painters
A second wrote: My son was in these classes and he’s now an Electrical Engineer.
While a third commented: The tests they gave us were from John’s Hopkins University. And had nothing to do with Russian.
Another added: I locked my Gifted and Talented teacher in a supply closet and went back to my regular class. Because the assignments they gave us were so lame.
Is there any evidence supporting the CIA connection?
Conspiracy theories continue to circulate, but no one has provided concrete evidence suggesting that the GATE program was ever tied to the CIA
Internet sleuths have pointed to declassified documents.
However, none of these documents directly link the public school program to the CIA’s Gateway Program.
The speculation remains unsupported by clear proof.
In short, until proven otherwise, the theory remains speculative.
