Project CHATTER	1947	1953	CIA research focused on the identification and testing of drugs in interrogations and the recruitment of agents.
Cold War	1947	26 September 1991	The official narrative had 2 diametrically opposed systems locked in combat with one another since soon after WW2. Each of the "superpowers" and its team of allies needed to outdo each other by creating ever more and deadlier weapons, creating a kind of perpetual war for perpetual peace, with the warring parties engaging mainly in covert/proxy wars. Deep state interests blossomed in the climate of fear and paranoia.
Operation Demagnetize	1948	1980	"The institutional hardening of Gladio", an expansion of Gladio in the late 1940s, early 1950s.
Marshall Plan	1948	1951	US initiative enacted in 1948 to provide foreign aid to post-war Western Europe that has reached mythological status in transatlantic circles. If one looks at the details, it becomes far less impressive in achieving its stated objectives.
Project AERODYNAMIC	1949	1970
