MITRE / GATE child-psionics claim.
folkloreclaimDisclosure Legislation & Oversight
A fringe claim (promoted by Ross Coulthart) that MITRE Corporation ran psionics research on children under the school 'GATE' (Gifted and Talented Education) program. No primary documents support it.
A name-coincidence conspiracy (Monroe 'Gateway' / CIA-DIA 'Star Gate' / school 'GATE') splicing MKULTRA and remote-viewing lore into ordinary gifted classes. The MITRE-specific attribution rests on a single podcast witness's inference. Tagged folklore for the CLAIM — not an allegation against MITRE, which the record does not support. Burlison himself deflected it.
