Old memories, but maybe, not her memories? Is that why El doesn't remember the past and is always associated with being new? But if that's true, whose memories they made her relive? Sarah's? Will's? The real Jane's? Imagine if the real Jane is the girl we know as Sarah. There are so many connections and parallels between those kids, that I'm not ruling out anything.

The second screenshot is from Quantum Leap, a tv show about a scientist who becomes lost in time, swapping places lives with different people in different times.

I find it interesting that behind El we see Two, and that it's Two who bullies her. Maybe a hint that we're seeing the battle between two realities? 11 as two ones? (and 22 is twice eleven)

In S2, they call both El and Will schizos, and when Axel says it and tries to pick up his knife, it's pointing to the number 2.

We've also seen people being possessed and becoming someone else so, El being the combination of two different people, the body of one child and the memories and life of another, is not too crazy.

Sex pollen fic but the characters do it recreationally, like psychedelics

(any number of participants, could be poly)

There's one sober person who ensures everyone gets a good experience

Someone complains about it not working right before the effect hits

The pollenned person gets a lecture on what they should expect

There's That One Scientist who documents everything and loudly announces which region of their brain is shutting down currently

Food is prepared in advance and it's honestly the best part of the experience

There's generally a Procedure and a Culture around it

The pollenned person gets handed sleeping pills if it's a bad trip

I unironically think it could be such a lovely setting for a very sweet and awkward kind of intimacy

Project MKUltra wasn’t a myth—it was the CIA’s secret program to master mind control in the 1950s. Using LSD, hypnosis, sensory deprivation, and worse, they experimented on unsuspecting people. Declassified files reveal the horrifying extent, but conspiracy whispers say it never truly ended. What hidden truths still lurk in this government cover-up? The Codex of Forbidden Knowledge digs deeper into the dark history."

[jjmcquade-misc]

Conspiracy theories that turned out as true

Here is a list of theories that were initially labeled as conspiracy theories by the mass media but later turned out to be true:

MKUltra: A secret CIA program that conducted mind control experiments using LSD and other methods on unsuspecting individuals. Initially dismissed as a far-fetched conspiracy theory, its existence was later confirmed through declassified documents released in the 1970s, revealing the extent of the unethical experiments.

Tuskegee Syphilis Study: A U.S. Public Health Service experiment where hundreds of Black men with syphilis were left untreated to study the disease’s natural progression. Initially denied and considered a conspiracy theory, it was confirmed in 1972 after a whistleblower exposed the study, leading to widespread outrage and reforms in medical ethics.

Operation Snow White: A conspiracy orchestrated by the Church of Scientology to infiltrate U.S. government agencies and steal sensitive documents. Dismissed as an unlikely plot, it was proven true in the late 1970s when investigations led to the conviction of several Scientology members.

CIA’s Involvement in the Crack Cocaine Epidemic: Allegations that the CIA facilitated the spread of crack cocaine in the 1980s to fund covert operations were initially rejected as conspiracy theories. Investigative journalism, notably by Gary Webb in the 1990s, and subsequent inquiries confirmed some level of CIA complicity or negligence in drug trafficking networks.

NSA’s Mass Surveillance Program: Claims of widespread government surveillance of citizens were dismissed as paranoid theories until 2013, when Edward Snowden leaked documents revealing the NSA’s extensive PRISM program, confirming the scope of global surveillance activities.

FBI’s COINTELPRO Program: A secret FBI initiative to surveil, infiltrate, and disrupt political groups, including civil rights organizations, was initially denied and labeled a conspiracy theory. It was confirmed in 1971 after activists stole and released FBI documents exposing the program’s illegal activities.

Project Sunshine: A U.S. government project that collected tissue samples from deceased children without parental consent to study the effects of radioactive fallout. Initially dismissed as a gruesome conspiracy theory, it was later confirmed through declassified records in the 1990s.

Operation Mockingbird: A CIA effort to influence and control media outlets and journalists during the Cold War. Long considered a conspiracy theory, it was substantiated by declassified documents and congressional investigations in the 1970s, revealing the agency’s manipulation of public narratives.

CIA’s Involvement in the 1953 Iranian Coup: The CIA’s role in orchestrating the overthrow of Iran’s democratically elected government was initially denied and dismissed as a conspiracy theory. It was officially confirmed in 2013 when declassified documents detailed the agency’s collaboration with British intelligence.

FBI’s Spying on Martin Luther King Jr.: Allegations that the FBI surveilled and attempted to discredit Martin Luther King Jr. were initially rejected as conspiratorial. The program’s existence was confirmed in the 1970s through released documents, exposing the extent of the FBI’s efforts to undermine the civil rights leader.

These examples demonstrate that while many conspiracy theories lack evidence, some dismissed by the mass media have been validated over time through investigations, leaks, and declassified records, revealing hidden truths about government and institutional actions.

These are less obvious, often overlooked incidents that still carry the weight of confirmed conspiracies:

The Business Plot (1933) Okay, this one stretches just before the post-WWII mark, but it’s modern enough and obscure today. Rumors swirled that a group of wealthy American businessmen planned to overthrow President Franklin D. Roosevelt and install a fascist regime. Marine Corps General Smedley Butler blew the whistle, claiming he’d been recruited to lead the coup. People dismissed it as a wild tale—until a congressional investigation confirmed there was indeed a plot. Big names like DuPont and J.P. Morgan were linked, though no one faced charges. It’s a chilling “what if” that doesn’t get much airtime today.

Operation Paperclip’s Darker Edges You might’ve heard of Operation Paperclip—the U.S. recruiting Nazi scientists after WWII—but the conspiracy angle is less known. Beyond the famous ones like Wernher von Braun, whispers persisted that war criminals with horrific pasts were smuggled in. The government insisted they were just harmless tech experts. Declassified files later showed otherwise: many were high-ranking Nazis whose records were scrubbed to dodge immigration laws. It’s not just about rockets; some worked on biological and chemical weapons projects, a detail that stayed buried for decades.

The Nayirah Testimony Hoax (1990) In the lead-up to the Gulf War, a girl named Nayirah testified to Congress that Iraqi soldiers in Kuwait were ripping babies from incubators and leaving them to die. It was a gut-wrenching story that helped justify military action. Skeptics called it propaganda, but they were shouted down—until it unraveled. Nayirah was the Kuwaiti ambassador’s daughter, coached by PR firm Hill & Knowlton (hired by Kuwait’s government) to sell the war. Investigative journalists exposed the lie, proving it was a fabricated conspiracy to sway opinion.

The CIA’s Heart Attack Gun (1970s) Ever hear rumors of a gun that could silently kill with no trace? In the ‘70s, people speculated the CIA had a dart gun that triggered heart attacks using frozen toxins. It sounded like James Bond nonsense—until the 1975 Church Committee hearings. The CIA fessed up: they’d built it. The dart dissolved in the body, leaving no evidence. It’s a spy gadget turned real, and while it’s niche, it’s not a household name like Snowden’s leaks.

The Ford Pinto Scandal (1970s) This one’s corporate, not governmental. Word got around that Ford knew their Pinto car could explode in rear-end crashes due to a faulty fuel tank. Ford denied it, insisting the car was safe. Then internal memos leaked: they’d calculated it was cheaper to settle lawsuits from burn victims than fix the design. Court cases confirmed it—a cold-blooded conspiracy of profit over lives. It’s a grim footnote in automotive history that doesn’t get the spotlight it deserves.

Project SHAMROCK (1940s–1970s) Before the NSA’s modern surveillance scandals, there were whispers they’d been snooping on Americans’ telegrams for years. Critics were labeled paranoid—until the Church Committee (again, busy folks) uncovered Project SHAMROCK. Starting in the ‘40s, the NSA collected millions of telegrams without warrants, sharing them with other agencies. It ran for decades before exposure in the ‘70s, a precursor to today’s privacy debates that’s faded from public chatter.

Bohemian Grove’s Real Rituals (Ongoing) For years, people murmured about Bohemian Grove—a secretive retreat in California where elites like politicians and CEOs allegedly held weird rituals, including mock sacrifices to an owl statue. It sounded absurd, a fever dream of conspiracy buffs. Then, in 2000, Alex Jones snuck in and filmed the “Cremation of Care” ceremony, proving it happens. The meetings are real; what they mean—powerful networking or something darker—is still up for debate. It’s not a headliner like Watergate, but it’s verified and eerie.

These cases flew under the radar compared to the big-name conspiracies, yet they all started as dismissed theories before evidence—documents, testimony, or footage—proved them true. They’re snapshots of modern history where secrecy and power collided, only to be dragged into the light later!

1. 9/11 and Government Foreknowledge (2001)

Initial Dismissal: After the September 11, 2001 attacks, claims that the U.S. government had prior knowledge or was complicit were widely rejected as baseless conspiracy theories by officials and mainstream media.

Later Validation: The 9/11 Commission Report (2004) revealed significant intelligence failures, including missed warnings from agencies like the FBI and CIA. While it didn’t prove intentional involvement, it confirmed that critical information was overlooked, lending some credibility to theories of negligence or mishandling.

2. Iraq War and Weapons of Mass Destruction (2003)

Initial Dismissal: Before the 2003 invasion of Iraq, the idea that the U.S. and its allies exaggerated or fabricated evidence of weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) to justify war was dismissed as anti-government propaganda.

Later Validation: The Iraq Survey Group report (2004) found no active WMD programs, and subsequent inquiries, like the U.K.’s Chilcot Report (2016), confirmed that intelligence was flawed or manipulated, validating the core claim that the war’s premise was shaky.

3. Mass Surveillance Programs (2013)

Initial Dismissal: For years, suggestions that governments were conducting widespread surveillance of citizens via technology were brushed off as paranoid delusions.

Later Validation: Edward Snowden’s 2013 leaks exposed programs like PRISM, run by the NSA, showing that the U.S. and other governments were monitoring communications on an unprecedented scale, confirming the reality of mass surveillance.

4. Financial Crisis and Banking Misconduct (2008)

Initial Dismissal: Before the 2008 financial crisis, theories that major banks were engaging in reckless or fraudulent practices—like predatory lending and creating risky financial products—were often dismissed as exaggerated or alarmist.

Later Validation: The crisis exposed widespread misconduct, with investigations and settlements (e.g., the 2010 Dodd-Frank Act and billions in fines) confirming that banks had indeed acted irresponsibly, validating earlier suspicions.

5. COVID-19 Lab Leak Hypothesis (2020)

Initial Dismissal: Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, the notion that the virus originated from a lab in Wuhan, China, was labeled a conspiracy theory and dismissed by many scientists, media outlets, and organizations like the WHO.

Later Validation: By 2021, intelligence reports and scientific discussions (e.g., U.S. government assessments and WHO revisits) deemed the lab leak a plausible scenario, shifting it from fringe theory to a legitimate hypothesis, though conclusive evidence is still lacking.

6. Social Media Manipulation and Data Misuse (2018)

Initial Dismissal: Claims that social media platforms like Facebook were exploiting user data for political or financial gain were often downplayed as speculative before 2018.

Later Validation: The Cambridge Analytica scandal (2018) revealed that data from millions of users was harvested without consent and used to influence elections, confirming that such manipulation was occurring on a large scale.

Bucky Barnes Winter Soldier Memory Erasure - from a real scientist.

Hi y'all! I posted this a few days ago with the book I'm about to share and realized my embarrassing mistake that I accidentally forgot a page. Things will make sense now! Sadly, I'm not the scientist, but I am a historian. I was asked if Bucky's story was realistic and part of that story was mind erasing. If you want to learn about mind control, look up the MK-Ultra science experiments- which the government admitted a few years ago to be a thing that happened. I'd also recommend looking up early LSD experimentation on soldiers and the Manchurian Candidate. Tony makes this joke for a reason. This is only about 3.5 pages. It's a pretty easy read! This is from The Science of Marvel: From Infinity Stones to Iron Man's Armor, the Real Science Behind the MCU Revealed! by Dr. Sebastian Alvarado.

The rest are under read more.

End chapter. Now, despite this saying MCU, this actually follows closely with the brainwashing in 616 Marvel. If anyone has any other meta or history questions, feel free to send them in!

I think the nootropics thing is like, faux-legibility, which is what bothers me. I said I agree with that anon who claimed Western society ("Western society") overvalues legibility, but I think it's more like... Western society ("Western society") loves faux-legibility, metrizability that doesn't correspond to what we actually care about. Because I do like legibility. One of the reasons I don't mind caffeine is that its effects on me feel very legible, phenomenologically. I drink a cup of coffee and instantly I feel a noticeably more awake, maybe a little anxious if I have too much, this and that. The effect is not too strong, like being drunk, which I generally don't like, because it changes too much and is a confusing, illegible experience.

But see, this is all feelings-based, internal. People talk about nootropics and they're like "I take such and such milligrams of lsd every day and I can't really feel anything but I think it's been making me more open-minded overall, I've noticed XYZ improve in my life since I started doing this". And this is like, this is like awful to me. I mean you do you but like. This is faux-legible, you know some dosage numbers but it's not phenomenologically obvious what's happening to you, you're suggesting that this shit is changing your behavior in some diffuse way that you can't pinpoint? Terrifying, baffling that you would do this to yourself. At least if I drink a bunch of coffee and then find myself sitting around worrying about something stupid, I can be like "oh, obviously this is because of all that coffee I just drank, I can tell I am too-many-cups-of-coffee anxious". Like I'm sure drinking coffee has illegible effects too, literally everything you do has illegible effects, but trying to incur that shit on purpose through some kind of complicated scheme where you microdose this and that just seems disquieting.

It's like... studies, right. Studies say that this and that is true, because we did a controlled trial and it was statistically significant. To me this is the worst type of science. Because like, I don't doubt that if you do your experiments and stats well, the results are meaningful. Sure. But why? Why does the thing happen? What is actually going on. No idea, you just did a study. Whereas with physics it's like, ok there's still a philosophical "why" in the most abstract sense but at a more particular level it's like "this magnetic field pushes on this thing and then makes that happen, blah blah", it's like, it's describing this comprehensible sequence of events, that you can understand the workings of. That's what science is for. To me. No wonder then that nootropics is loved by studies guys, by guys who read this and that study and are impressed by it. No wonder that nootropics is loved by such guys, according to me based on my gut right now.

Documents that shed the light on the CIA’s notorious mind control program decades ago, are being published by a transparency group.

Historic memos about brainwashing “Russian agents” and drugging US inmates with LSD have already been put online.

RT reports: The National Security Archive, an NGO dedicated to using Freedom of Information Act requests to expose government secrets, put some of the records online on Monday to mark 50 years since the CIA’s activities were exposed by the New York Times. A full collection of more than 1,200 documents is to be hosted by ProQuest, a scholarly research assistance firm.

Starting in the early 1950s, the CIA secretly searched for ways to control human behavior with drugs, including the then novel hallucinogen LSD, hypnosis, and extreme maltreatment, such as sensory deprivation.

The experiments, including those done on unwitting subjects, largely stemmed from interest in anti-war sentiments expressed by US troops who fought in the Korean War and went through captivity. The media coined the term ‘brainwashing’ to explain why soldiers would sympathize with the Communist enemy. The CIA hoped it could replicate the effect, conducting research under the code names BLUEBIRD, ARTICHOKE and MKULTRA

CIA Director Richard Helms and MKULTRA chief Sidney Gottlieb destroyed most of the original records in 1973 in what the Archive called “perhaps the most infamous cover-up in the Agency’s history.” The bulk of its documents came from author John Marks, who in 1979 wrote a book about the controversial program.

One of the memos highlighted by the NGO claimed success in inducing amnesia in “Russian agents suspected of being doubled.” In another one, Gottlieb signed off on giving federal inmates in Atlanta larger doses of LSD as part of the research. The Archive pointed the finger at pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly & Company as the supplier of “tonnage quantities” of LSD to the CIA.

The mean green

I was thinking about the parallel between the Are you real? in 2x07 and 4x09

And these screenshots in one of kaypeace21's posts. The dialogue in the elevator, when Erica says that she will drink the green goo, because you can survive for a while without food, but not without water, raises the question of how Will was able to survive for a week in the UD. But we only realize that in S4, when we see that there is no water in the lake. Imo, not a random location, for many reasons.

All this green is connected to gates/Mind Flayer/One. Then there's Kali's nickname, K, a street name for ketamine. Another one, that was used in the late 60s, was mean green. Even the name of the man Kali wants to kill, Ray Carroll, can be associated with drugs (Alice as a slang for LSD) Same for Kali's power. Making people see or not see what she chooses, reminds of what drugs and mind control do.

"LSD mind control experiments" (Powell in 1x03) "...elaborate experimentations in perusal of mind control" (1x08 newspaper). And Richard Brenner was head of the Narcotic Enforcement Division from 1954-1971, so from the year Henry vanished in Dimension X to the year Will and El were born.

In the article that El reads in the cabin, the line about Brenner's experiments is slightly different, more specific about what they did.

"extensive... into physiology... perception." So, they used drugs to alter people's perception of reality.

There's a lot of green in K's scenes. Even her mask is green.

Kali, "K" (ketamine) and the green toy (mean green) in Terry's memory, one of the many hints that we can't trust what we see (more about that scene here)

Just like we can't trust what we see in Nina. They show both the green toy and the Magic 8 Ball a few times, the massacre happens on September 8, Kali's name is in the crossword in 4x01, and Henry mentions her and Terry, so that memory is probably not what really happened.

Henry asks El to join him. In 3x03, before she looks for Heather in the void, we see more green liquid and Join Us.

Like the green Join Us on the bulletin board behind Will

In 3x06, we see this green bottle, after the conversation about the keys and the gate.

Speaking of keys, there's a big green key at Melvald's, because Will and El are the keys, and getting to Mike is the key, too.

At the end of S3, connection between the lab and "chemical leaks"

EDIT: In @threemanoperation 's post about the mentions of caves and holes, I noticed something:

in this shot, we see Will and El while Hopper mentions being stuck in one place, in a cave, imo a hint that, because of experiments/ drugs/mind control, they're all stuck in a time loop. Interestingly, Lucas' shirt is green. Maybe just a coincidence. Maybe not.

In 2x01, Bob points to a green Halloween bucket. On Halloween, Will almost gets possessed by the Mind Flayer. It's also interesting that Bob's very first line is that he's not a big fan of orange. Orange is associated with Hopper, because of Agent Orange, but orange barrels, cubes, haze are also street names for LSD. I'll make a post about that, too.

The song that plays when El arrives at Terry's house is Green green grass of home. An interesting choice for a mother-daughter reunion. The song is about a man who returns home, to his mama and papa. "It's good to touch the green green grass of home", but then the man wakes up and realizes that it was just a dream (Becky says that Terry is stuck in a dream). He's actually in prison, his parents are dead and he's about to be executed. So, touching the green grass and dreaming that you're home= being drugged and believing/seeing things that are not real?

And you know what? I'm starting to think that even the color of Joyce's car could be a hint. There's a green car in Terry's suspicious memory... It's all connected. They've all been manipulated.

Also, this green soap in Nancy's vision of Henry and Brenner.

And there are probably other things I didn't notice.

Snaps crawling out of their cave of work to talk about more character analysis as someone who’s played all the CoD games and likes to analyze things. And the Cold War era is one of my favorite times in history because it’s so twisted it’s interesting. Back when espionage was actually cool.

I would like to do a little dive into this specific dialogue in Bo6. Now I see a lot of people tie this back to Bell which is unlucky given the moral alignment of Russell Adler’s character and historical context.

I doubt this dialogue is attached primarily to Bell because Adler had no remorse twords killing them in Cold War, why? Because Bell was a tool to him, a means to get closer to Perseus who he’s been chasing for near thirty years. Bell was a high ranking member of the group and Perseus’ right hand/ favorite soldier. He brainwashed and manipulated Bell into getting what he needed and when he exhausted that resource, He offed them. Bell was an assist that couldn’t be allowed to be let loose and once the conditioning broke Alder had to remove Bell from the playing field. He never apologized or showed guilt for manipulating Bell, because he wasn’t.

Adler is a very morally grey character who tended to go a little darker for the sake of the mission and his team(theres dialogue that shows he cares, he just doesn’t show it) Adler is known to be a wildfire as Marshall calls him and others know he does whatever it takes to complete the mission. Sims points that out in the Ground Control mission, he pauses Case to remind him that Adler doesn’t play but the rules to do what needs to be done. Bell was just another step closer to Perseus.

Now for historical context, the CIA did conduct mind control experiments on its own citizens and soldiers. MK-Ultra was a real division and although the drug in the game had a fictional name, it’s based off of real compounds MK Ultra created using LSD and other amounts of hallucinogenic chemicals. The CIA experimented these compounds during this time to try and do brainwashing, they did this to US soldiers and citizens and the people who were exposed to these tests experienced very horrible things as it’s injecting an almost lethal amount of chemicals into the body in attempt to control them or get them into a more easily wavered state.

The reason why he says “don’t ask” is because these the experiments were brutal and a lot died and many threatened into secrecy. Adler isn’t known to dwell on the past and he also probably couldn’t speak of them /or didn’t want to remember what happened. It’s more of a “you don’t wanna know.”

Now I am all for headcanons, I love seeing Adbell content because that dynamic is so toxic and intriguing, it’s not my favorite pairing but I love to see what people do with a blank slate like Bell and turn them into this incredibly complex and interesting character. I mainly wanted to analyze this because I see a lot of people missing key parts, mostly TikTok/ppl who haven’t played or even watched the whole gameplay. There’s a lot of reaching in the cod community and especially on certain platforms (cursed clock app) the lore gets blurred and people forget what’s canon.

THEY SAID I DID SOMETHING BAD: a musical about the life and times of the unabomer, by taylor swift.

(Spotify Link) (Inspiration, provided by @significationary)

[Disclaimer: I'm not an expert on this guy, although I have notated which changes I made and cited my sources down at the bottom. I also tried to include at least one song from every Taylor Swift album. Feel free to suggest other songs I could have used!]

ACT I: OUR COMING OF AGE HAS COME AND GONE

I Did Something Bad  — Having attempted suicide while in police custody, Ted Kaczynski prepares for trial, refusing to let his lawyers use the insanity defense. In the end, after a failed attempt at representing himself, Ted pleads guilty to 13  federal charges in exchange for life in prison.

They say I did something bad,  Then why’s it feel so good? Most fun I ever had! And I’d do it over and over and over again If I could…

seven / this is me trying (mashup) - As a small child, Ted is hospitalized and isolated following an allergic reaction; reports allege this had a strong effect on his personality. Nevertheless, Ted's younger brother, David, describes him as kind and protective. Ted skips two grades in his early schooling, but is othered for being smaller than the other children and too “different” due to his intelligence. At 16, Ted goes to Harvard on a scholarship to study math.

Please picture me In the trees I hit my peak at seven feet In the swing Over the creek I was too scared to jump in… And I just wanted you to know that this is me trying… 

Tell Me Why - While at Harvard, Ted is subjected to repeated verbal abuse by his professor, Henry A. Murray, who was part of a CIA program code-named Project MK-Ultra. The program sought to understand how to implement mind-control techniques, including using drugs such as LSD, although there is no evidence that Ted was ever drugged while at Harvard. 

Here's to you and your temper Yes, I remember what you said last night And I know that you see what you're doing to me Tell me why

Guilty as Sin? - In 1966, Ted experiences an intense sexual desire to become a woman, even deciding to undergo gender transition. 

I keep these longings locked, In lowercase inside a vault…

 I Hate It Here - Upon arriving at his therapy appointment to begin transitioning, however, Ted changes his mind, and never mentions to the psychiatrist why he originally wanted to meet. Afterward, he considers killing the psychiatrist and several other people.

I hate it here so I will go to secret gardens in my mind People need a key to get to The only one is mine I read about it in a book when I was a precocious child No mid-sized city hopes and small town fears I'm there most of the year Cause I hate it here...

this is me trying (reprise) - After graduating, Ted gets a teaching job at Berkeley, but has a hard time delivering lectures and avoids his students. He suddenly resigns from his position in 1969. 

They told me all of my cages were mental, So I got wasted like all my potential…

I Can Do It With A Broken Heart  - Ted moves back to Chicago to work at the same factory as his brother and begins a relationship with a woman at work. Due to Ted’s sexual harassment of her following a sour breakup, David, his supervisor, has to fire him.* Ted moves to Montana into a cabin him and his brother had built.

I can read your mind… “She’s having the time of his life…” There in her glittering prime The lights refract sequined stars off her silhouette every night I can show you lies...

ACT II: AND IN THE DEATH OF HER REPUTATION, SHE FELT TRULY ALIVE 

the lakes / I Hate It Here (Reprise) / Clean - In his cabin, Ted lives in near-total isolation, hunting and growing his own food, and spending much of his time reading. It is here Ted develops his anti-government, anti-technology philosophy.

hoax - Alone in his cell, Ted reflects on his brother’s betrayal. 

You knew the password, so I let you in the door You knew you won, so what's the point of keeping score? You knew it still hurts underneath my scars From when they pulled me apart But what you did was just as dark

Dear Reader / ME! - In June of 2023, Ted is found unresponsive and is pronounced dead later that day. The death is officially ruled a suicide. Inside his cell, guards find a letter — a suicide note? A letter to a fan? No one can say for certain.

Trip-report first time on 2c-b

So I tried honest to god 2c-b. How do I know that? Well it was tested in a lab and good to go it’s important to test your drugs especially 2c-b. If you ever thought about taking 2c-b pls do your own research about it! I have a possibly life saving post about 2c-b and about the difference between tucibi and 2c-b it really is worth a look!

So moving on to the trip report…

Sometime after consuming 2c-b I started to feel a little funny. Like I and the whole world was anticipating something. It’s weird to describe the come up because a psychedelic like 2c-b is nothing like a mdma come up. It feels like earth is planning a silly little prank on u. I was more aware of my existence kindaaa. Then a trippy thing happened to my friend and me. We talked to a person who we thought we knew however this was not the same person they just looked veryyy alike. That kind of triggered my trip more and things were getting interesting.

The neon purple and red lights that were shining up at the trees looked waaay brighter the color was deeper and richer in a way. And when I was dancing I could sometimes feel a presence behind me or beside me that wasn’t there. So what would happen is I would occasionally see something in my peripheral vision and when I look to my right or left nobody would be there. I have a theory about what could be causing that tho…I think when I dance my hair would get in the way and I would register moving hair as a shadow but in reality it would be nobody just my hair. Whenever there would be a little wind blowing it would feel super duper nice, like I was taking double breaths every-time. I tried inhaling the wind not air fr. My hearing was way more sensitive as well, at some point I thought that the loud music broke my eardrums, so I had to move a bit from the speakers. Usually I’m the person who always stands in the front so that time I had to make a change and move. The 2c-b made me more in tune with my emotions overall that night. But I didn’t mind that either<3

There was one moment though that stuck out to me through out this whole trip. Me and my best friend had a nitrous balloon with us and we went away from the crowd to lay down on the grass by some trees. Nitrous oxide by itself is pretty calm but once drugs are involved nitrous becomes something totally different. I see it as the drugs are different seasonings and whatever your on is gonna create different trips when inhaling nitrous. So when I took Nitrous on 2c-b I saw black and stars and everything became wobbly for me, first the sound then the ground. Also my friend was talking meanwhile I was inhaling the balloon and I laughed at every word she said. I wouldn’t be surprised if I peed myself because I was laughing so hard. I didn’t pee myself okayy.. I was just laughing more than usually. My IQ was probably lower than a goldfish at that point.

After that balloon that’s where the visuals came on, I looked at the trees above me and the leaves where moving in such an interesting way. And the neon lights were also pointing up to the sky so it was creating an aurora but between the leaves on the trees. These leaves looked like, when you look through a microscope inside a leaf but I saw that up on the trees where these leaves were. It looked like moving cells but with color. Then when walking in the forest, bigger stones in the dark could from a far look like a drunk person laying down but the closer I got to the stone, I realized it’s just a stone and not a person. However there was no moment where I felt fear and that it was overwhelming, just that one time with the loud music but that was simply resolved by moving away from the speakers.

This is why I believe that 2c-b is a perfect psychedelic drug for parties. It’s not the same as lsd at all. But it’s still psychedelic however easier to control at least in my experience. I experienced 2c-b in a forest rave at night I bet if I took 2c-b inside the visuals would be a lot more visible and complex, but because being outside with fresh air kinda sobers you up I think, and being outside in the dark is overall just hard to see. So the visuals weren’t really as intense as they would’ve been inside I believe. However I still saw those beautiful trees, I’m not complaining because this was still a very good first trip on 2c-b.

Later I didn’t have a comedown at all. Didn’t feel any emotional changes like you do sometimes with other drugs for example mdma.

2c-b is the best parts of mdma combined with the best parts of acid, I would say. But I recommend that you keep water by your side because your throat and mouth gets very super dry, that’s the only thing I did not like. But I can see myself taking it again.

Also this was my experience so if you ever decide to get 2c-b don’t expect the same things to happen to you. We all have different brain chemistry, metabolism etc that makes us react differently. So you might have a completely different experience on 2c-b keep that in might! <3

I tried finding pics of what I saw. Try to combine these pics togheter…this is was I saw, kindaaa.

These types of cell shapes and colors I saw where the leaves are and imagine it’s moving and it’s night. The leaves were also at the same time moving like swarm of flying butterflies 🦋

From Reality to Fiction: How CIA Documents Inspired Stranger Things

Stranger Things: A Blend of Sci-Fi and Real History

Since its debut, Stranger Things has captivated audiences worldwide with its eerie storytelling and supernatural mysteries. But what many fans don’t realize is that the show’s foundation is deeply rooted in reality. The secret experiments at Hawkins National Laboratory and Eleven’s powers draw heavily from declassified CIA programs like MKUltra and STAR GATE. These aren’t just wild theories—they’re backed by real documents, freely available in the CIA Reading Room for anyone to explore.

The Real Inspirations: MKUltra and STAR GATE

MKUltra: Mind Control by the CIA

From the 1950s to the 1970s, the CIA conducted MKUltra, a top-secret program exploring mind control techniques. Experiments ranged from LSD administration to sensory deprivation and hypnosis. In Stranger Things, the parallels are clear: Eleven and other children are subjected to intense experiments to develop and harness their mental powers, just as MKUltra sought to manipulate the human mind.

STAR GATE: Remote Viewing and Psychic Powers

From the 1970s through the 1990s, the STAR GATE program investigated the potential of Remote Viewing, where individuals attempted to perceive distant or hidden locations using only their minds. In Stranger Things, Eleven demonstrates this ability repeatedly, using sensory deprivation tanks to locate people and objects far away.

Techniques: The Real Meets the Fictional

1. Sensory Deprivation Tanks: A Portal to Other Worlds

In Stranger Things, Eleven uses sensory deprivation to amplify her abilities. This method directly mirrors real-world experiments where tanks were used to isolate subjects from external stimuli, fostering deep mental focus. The concept traces back to John C. Lilly’s isolation tank studies, which also influenced MKUltra.

2. Remote Viewing Protocols: Fact or Fiction?

In STAR GATE, participants were trained to describe distant locations by focusing their minds on specific coordinates. While results varied, some successes, like accurately identifying hidden military sites, were striking. Eleven’s mental explorations mimic these techniques, albeit dramatized for effect.

3. Numbered Test Subjects: A Nods to MKUltra

In the series, Eleven is designated as “011,” implying many other test subjects. Similarly, CIA experiments anonymized participants with code names or numbers, especially in MKUltra studies involving vulnerable populations like orphans or prisoners.

Stranger Things and CIA Documents: A Tangible Connection

What makes these connections fascinating is that the history behind Stranger Things isn’t pure fiction. The CIA Reading Room, an extensive online database of declassified documents, offers everyone the chance to read about programs like MKUltra and STAR GATE in detail.

How to Access the Documents:

• Visit the CIA Reading Room.

• Use search terms like “MKUltra,” “STAR GATE,” or “Remote Viewing.”

• Explore millions of pages that reveal the extraordinary lengths governments went to in their pursuit of power.

Conclusion: Stranger Things Is Closer to Reality Than You Think

The creators of Stranger Things skillfully blend real-world inspirations with supernatural storytelling. By borrowing from programs like MKUltra and STAR GATE, the series offers a chilling reminder of how far governments are willing to go in the name of science and security.

While Eleven’s adventures take us to alternate dimensions, the truth behind the experiments she endured can be found in history itself. The real question remains: how much of this is truly behind us?

A while back I was asked how I'd have done Mikan's execution in SDR2, and I really love what I came up with. I'm not going to go through the effort of finding it, so I'll just rewrite it.

The concept here is combining medical, brainwashing, and lust. For that, we need an executioner's table, like what's used for lethal injections. Monokuma is in sexy nurse garb, probably just Mikan's despair outfit because it makes sense. There is a bag of liquid, like what you'd see saline in, which is labeled as being MDMA. There is a tank of liquid, which is labeled LSD Why those? LSD was heavily used in the US government's brainwashing experiments, MK-ULTRA. Meanwhile, MDMA is the fuck drug. It's the party drug that makes you want to fuck. However, both also have one overlapping side effect: overheating. They both make your body run very hot.

Her eyes are also clamped open, ala A Clockwork Orange, and a screen hangs above her. Monokuma fits a mask connected to the LSD tube over her face, and inserts a needle into her arm connected to a tube connected to the MDMA bag. The screen turns on and starts showing a mix of death and sexual content at extremely high speeds. Could involve some reuse of DR1 death images and Junko's magazine shoots, as well as other stuff (Aoi fanservice scene, Makoto in the shower from the anime, etc). The rapid flashing images stuff too comes from MK-ULTRA brainwashing research.

Her skin starts turning redder and redder as her body temperature rises, and she begins writhing and struggling. At first it looks like she's trying to escape, but heart eye pupils and her leg movements say otherwise. Her wrists get shredded from struggling against the leather restraints, and eventually one of her wrists breaks and she gets that hand free via that. It goes for between her legs right as her body gives out from the mixture of body temp and absurdly high doses of narcotics, and she dies.

Medicalized murder, brainwashing, and lust, all in one. The use of traditional prison execution imagery being in which murder is a form of medicine, the use of drugs to control the mind from the most famous brainwashing experiments ever, and of course the psychotic lust induced by Junko which eventually led to this all happening to her.

I'm sorry if this sounds like a silly question but type of ‘‘roles’’ are involved in military programs? And is there anywhere I can learn more about military programming?

Not a silly question at all. No worries, ask what you’re comfortable with. 

There are common programmes found in military programming (base programming). Then if you’re asking about government/military these programs would depend on the branch and the task of the programmed system. 

Military base programs are: 

Delta: Delta tier 3, Basic soldier training. 

Kappa: No pain programming. The subject is programmed to not feel pain and to dissociate/shut down when they are in severe pain.

Honour/Dishonour Programming- Parts are told that they are an "honourable and courageous" soldier who will take their life, rather than reveal secrets or leave their unit.

Protection By Trance Programming-The host, and any alter that switches to the front will dissociate if there is an unauthorised attempted  access to the system.

When it comes to researching methods and programmes I suggest people start at the beginning. This way you can sort out specifically what information you are seeking. Here are a few starting places:

The CIA's Secret Quest For Mind Control: Torture, LSD And A 'Poisoner In Chief'

The Cia's Appalling Human Experiments With Mind Control

(U) Project‘ MK-ULTRA

The Secret History Of Fort Detrick, The Cia’s Base For Mind-Control Experiments
