We all know that Delta Green did a lot in WW2 under the OSS. But the years from 1947 to 1970 (and especially 1970-1994) remain largely unexplored with a scattershot of interesting tidbits.

Delta Green operated under the Pentagon, reporting directly to the Joint Chiefs of Staff. For the most part, the postwar Delta Green faced no "unifying" threat like Majestic or the Karotechia.

The major undertaking of the postwar years saw a cleanup of the Karotechia (SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS, SUMMER BREEZE, SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY) followed by a slow erosion of personnel and sanity in the malaise of the late 50's. The 1960's saw military operations conducted against Devil's Reef (Operation RIPTIDE, 1963) and further investigation into Deep Ones, who were believed to be responsible for sinking submarines in the Western Mediterranean.

Operation KURTZ in 1964 saw action against a mythos outbreak in the Belgian Congo. The 1960's also marked Delta Green's increased commitment to domestic operations with aggressive (albeit haphazard) recruitment from the law enforcement community. The history of the Pentagon-era Delta Green was capped by Vietnam, and ended with sanction being stripped from the organisation.

Some rampant speculation on the facts:

1) Could the encroaching influence of Carcosa and Hastur have had a serious effect on the late 1950's Delta Green? Entropy, social decay, malaise, the insanity of Daniel Fries and the retirement of Martin Cook, it all points to a problem that may have gone beyond the "eight-martini-results" of investigation into the paranormal.

2) What if Deep Ones had nothing to do with the Western Mediterranean situation? Gloon, Carcosa, and Soviet psychotronic warfare are all valid alternate theories. Perhaps Gloon and Carcosa have a dreamlands connection, this ties in nicely to my first point. On the other hand, Conspiracy Literature suggests the Soviet connection, which I'm developing in gradual little spurts here and there.

3) The primary conflict of the 1970's post-Vietnam-era Delta Green could have been the Soviet psychic warfare establishment. While GRU and Majestic were dodging each other in the 60's and 70's, Delta Green could have been mucking about with the KGB and their pet psychics.

The distraction of dangerous psychics with mythos abilities may have distracted the GRU enough to allow Majestic to blindside Soviet Military Intelligence into believing that Majestic had been disbanded. It could also allow Delta Green to convince the GRU that they were an official US Government program. The irony of such a situation is rich with the potential for tragic-comedic misadventure, a black budget, black comedy.

Given the possibility that a Nazi version of the Tillinghast Resonator could be responsible for the proliferation of Soviet psychics, time travel also comes into the mix, with psychic mutants jumping forward in time (into the 1980's) to escape the GRU's Delta Green assisted purge of them during the 1970's. To combat this time-traveling menace, Delta Green may have founded STARGATE and related remote viewing programs to track down inhuman Soviet psychics.

This opens the possibility that Majestic (through it's MKULTRA contacts) could start the manufacture of psychic mutants with their own Project TELL or Project WELLS. Given their access to Grey Biotechnology and Justin Kroft's reckless ambitions, this seems highly likely.

The few people with clearance to the MIB's report on Project CONTOUR will realise that Neo-Tissue could be used in conjunction with the Milk of Shub-Niggurath to produce truly horrible human-alien hybrids. Combined with Project TELL and the Soviet "psychic factory", Majestic could give these godchildren of Ubbo-Sothla and Shub-Niggurath the ability to generate vast amounts of T-Radiation.

The prospect is not a pleasing one. A replay of the Soviet psychics jumping into the future to escape their persecutors could again occur, only this iteration would involve incredibly dangerous creatures that resemble a cross between a Shoggoth, a Dark Young and a Hound of Tindalos. The possibility that one or more members of the Soviet psychic warfare establishment could have had ties to the Skoptsi is also something that should not be overlooked. An Eaten of God with T-Radiation abilities is something that would give most investigators pause.
