Growing Up With Baby Boomer Parents
"My parents sent me to a 'Chickenpox party' as a kid. Now I have shingles."
"I can't be alone in this. Before the vaccine came out, parents of millennials would send their little kiddos to Chickenpox parties and get them infected on purpose. It was never a practice encouraged by any health organizations -- it was just a social practice that a lot of parents bought into." - r/Millennials
They said this to us like it was commonplace and normal.
I don't know if people younger than us know about this, so I want them to know. This was a "normal" part of our childhood as kids. They infected us on purpose and said they did not know the consequences, but I'm not sure about that last part.
The thing they won't admit to us is that they created the Troubled Teen Industry, and brought "CEDU" tactics into most of our lives.
Chicken pox also isolates the child (quarantine) because it is contagious. Which makes little sense when they also encouraged catching the virus because, "you can only get chicken pox once" and then soon after, they realize "you can get chicken pox twice."
It was not a good time, there was very little thought and consequence considered.
Straight, Inc. (Multiple States)
A massive, independent nationwide network of drug rehabs for kids. It had zero corporate connection to CEDU but weaponized the exact same Synanon-derived sleep deprivation, isolation, and peer restraint tactics.
"Peer restraint" is a nice way to say "peer bullying". The staff doesn't have to yell at you, if the other school kids do it for them. They turned the kids into Overseers.
This is possibly what helped open the door to why our society was able to accept the cruelty we faced in person, and online. I don't think we understand how many of us here have been "CEDU'd" in some way or another.
Many of these were not real schools. They were transitional programs, with varying ages of acceptance and length of stay. They were "preparatory schools", training programs, the way Harvard University existed for the stolen/kidnapped children of the last conquered nation. Many of these weren't schools in the way that they enter at a certain age, have freedom, play around, then leave once they graduate at a set time.
Some of these were entrances into Pleasure Island. The children didn't know, they were told it was school, and they didn't know anything else to compare it to. They grew up believing it was school.
Once they're trained, nobody knows that they are basically enslaved. The children themselves often don't know.
They will be on a strict regiment, a path, towards extreme success. They have absolutely no choice. We are viewed to see them as "overachievers", as incredibly ambitious, but in reality -- they have no choice. Many cannot leave, and many are actively threatened with horrifying violence either mentally, emotionally, or physically.
I was taught to look at people with a very narrow scope, and I think we are going to miss a lot of suffering that way.
The worst part: I think the "kids" from CEDU (even past graduation years of 2005, when the last CEDU school technically closed) were never released.
They will move onto College in some cases, others will join theater groups, others will join musical acts -- these are explained to us in Rolling Stone Magazine as organic, cool, exciting youthful choices. I don't think they are choosing these things, and sometimes, I don't think it happened at all. I believe some of them have backstories told to us that aren't true at all, and they were recognized very early as "gifted and talented". This is viewed as a threat, only because the people doing the viewing want to "play with their food". There is a deep psychological sickness attached to this and the people who have it will never admit to it, but the most important part is realizing what it looks like. It happens, and I think it's still happening to this day. Even if people are afraid to admit it, who cares, the point is that I think people are trapped and can't really tell us where, why, and how.
Then, they will star in movies. They will star on Broadway. They will win an Academy Award, they will win a Grammy Award.
This is often a pre-set plan, by the parents, and their connections to each other. They plan and hope, while simultaneously taking credit for the "gifted and talented child", never being honest about the level of control they are exercising over that child's life. They continue to do this even into adulthood, because they got used to it, and know nothing else. They believe what they do is not harmful. It is extremely abusive, psychotic, and terrifying what they do to these people.
I think that this is urgent, and ultimately, has never been fully caught. I believe when people have tried before, there was major retaliation that went towards those who tried. I think many have tried before. I think we have to try again. It only takes one generation to forget, and I think that was actually weaponized against our millennial generation. I think a lot of our peers are actually fully enslaved, cannot tell us, and we don't think to look for them because we believe they are separated because of class division and for their protection.
A big part of CEDU schools and high-control groups who have prisoners is isolation.
I think they trick us into believing these people are rich, and can eat whatever they want tomorrow at the drop of a hat.
I don't think most of them can.
Erhard Seminars Training, Inc. (marketed as est, though often encountered as EST or Est) was an organization founded by Werner Erhard in 1971 that offered a two-weekend (6-day, 60-hour) course known officially as "The est Standard Training".
The purpose of the training was to use concepts loosely based on Zen Buddhism for self-improvement. The seminar aimed to "transform one's ability to experience living so that the situations one had been trying to change or had been putting up with clear up just in the process of life itself."
