Cold War	1947	26 September 1991	The official narrative had 2 diametrically opposed systems locked in combat with one another since soon after WW2.

Project STARGATE	1978	1995	Project STARGATE aimed to gain domination over entire nations by making them cede their autonomy and privacy to the controlling person or group.
Operation Cyclone	1979	1992	The first time the CIA officially met Osama Bin Laden, they deemed him part of the hero movement to protect the world against Soviet influence.

The secret war against Sweden	27 October 1981	1994	A large number of "Soviet" submarine intrusions in Swedish waters in the 1980s, in reality committed by NATO under false flag. The intrusions were about deception and PSYOPs, to change the mindset of the Swedes, to make them adapt to US interests.
