In Episode 559: The GATE Program we welcome Elle, who reached out to us to share her mystifying experiences within the GATE program. Initially, I must admit, I didn't know what the GATE program was. Upon researching, I discovered that the GATE program is a special initiative for exceptionally gifted children. However, what caught my attention was the uncanny parallel experiences reported by individuals involved in this program worldwide. Many believe that there's more to it than meets the eye, speculating a potential connection to the infamous MK Ultra Program—a sort of covert vetting system. Last week, we had the privilege of hosting Walter Bosley, who himself was part of the GATE program. In our overtime conversation, Walter revealed his belief that the GATE program could be linked to MK Ultra programming. It was a mind-blowing discussion.

Now, it's time for Elle to take the stage and share her firsthand experiences within the GATE program. We talk about how she got involved, how she started connecting the dots that something might be off, her memories such as spending a night sleeping next to a centuries-old mummy in a possible ritual, and how he father might tie into this whole thing with his military background.

We explore the possibility that this visitor in his dreams was nothing ordinary but rather an otherworldly entity, perhaps even the devil himself, breaching the bounds of consciousness.

What was the purpose behind these dreams? Was it a plan to get Jarrod to simply start studying the occult in hopes to catch his interest? Or was it a vetting process, testing him for a possible future invitation to embrace this entity?
