Ron Paul Calls Pentagon's 35% Venezuela Oil Stake Corporatism

Ron Paul Calls Pentagon's 35% Venezuela Oil Stake Corporatism

The Pentagon's Office of Strategic Capital took the stake in North American Blue Energy Partners days after the US military removed Maduro.

  • Ron Paul's essay 'Corporatism Goes Global' (Ron Paul Institute, Sept. 8, 2026) says the Pentagon took 35% of North American Blue Energy Partners.
  • "Corporatism is a socialism variant where businesses are nominally private but are controlled by the government."
  • US government has 'invested' in over 30 private companies since Trump returned to power in 2025.

Why it matters: The 'Office of Strategic Capital' prices the regime change it just bought with public money.
