MK-ULTRA for Children

The Hunt for Psychic Abilities Through the G.A.T.E. Program

What if the gifted program wasn’t just about intelligence?
What if it was about something else entirely?

In the 1970s and 80s, thousands of children across North America were quietly enrolled in specialized programs for the “gifted and talented.” But decades later, many of those children—now adults—are waking up to disturbing memories, missing time, and psychic experiences that can no longer be ignored.

Author Desta Barnabe was one of them.

From the mysterious "Green Group" in her Winnipeg elementary school to unexplained “nap times” and psychic testing with puzzle games, Desta's memories lay dormant for years—until dreams, synchronicities, and buried trauma began surfacing. As she dug into her past, she found a chilling pattern: others in these programs had also reported psychic phenomena, sleep disruption, entity contact, and emotional collapse in adulthood.

This is not a book of wild claims—it’s a book of careful patterns.

Drawing connections between Project MK-Ultra, Project Talent, the Cold War psi race, and the possible psychic priming of children through education systems, MK-Ultra for Children blends personal testimony with documented history, hard-to-ignore coincidences, and the larger question no one is asking:

What were these programs really training us for?
