As for postmodernism or deconstruction, the connections are less clear. Derrida for instance had connections with American universities that themselves had government connections and funding sources, but I don’t know of any evidence of a direct link.
I knew about expressionism. Has nothing to do with postmodernism. I do believe the CIA determined that post modernism was not a threat because it was so abstract and also the left tends to eat itself without outside help. Regardless the content of the philosophy is extremely compelling.

It’s been acknowledged that Abstract Expressionism was partly a CIA op ( https://daily.jstor.org/was-modern-art-really-a-cia-psy-op/ ) probably along with other attempts at cultivating anti-Soviet “soft power.”
