Trump, Venezuela, and the Technate

SKtheChoG | January 3, 2026 (Updated 1/14/26)

Early this morning reports on social media began streaming in regarding explosions heard in Caracas, Venezuela. In what is being described as a 'large-scale strike', Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro has been captured, arrested, and brought back to the United States to stand trial. (He is arriving in New York as I publish this.)

The political left in this country is crying foul, stating that Congress should have been consulted in what amounts to an act of war. Conservatives are responding that Maduro was indicted in a New York Federal Court in 2020 on drug trafficking charges, making it a Federal matter that falls under the purview of Executive Powers.

But let's set the political bickering aside for a moment and look at the bigger picture. I am increasingly concerned that there is a larger - much larger - agenda afoot here.

President Trump began his second term in January of 2025 with a flurry of unorthodox statements regarding Greenland, Canada, and the Panama Canal. Some of these statements occurred before he had even taken office. Trump stated that the U.S. must acquire Greenland as an 'absolute necessity' for national security. He began discussing the issue again publicly within the last week.

In 2025, President Trump also signaled interest in the U.S. reclaiming the Panama Canal, arguing that Panama violated the 1977 Torrijos-Carter Treaties' terms by allowing undue Chinese influence and functional control over the waterway.

During this same period Trump also bizzarely claimed that the U.S. should annex Canada as its 51st State.

It's hard to gauge all of this honestly, but if one looks at the map below there may be more going on here than meets the eye:

This is a map of the Technate of America published by Technocracy Inc. in 1940. What is the Technate, you ask? Well, it was/is:

a proposed geopolitical and socioeconomic system from the 1930s-1940s Technocracy movement, led by Howard Scott and Technocracy Inc.. It envisioned merging the United States, Canada, Greenland, Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, and parts of northern South America (e.g., Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana) into a single, self-sustaining continental entity governed by scientists and engineers rather than politicians. (Grok, accessed 1/3/26)

Economist, financial analyst and writer Patrick Wood has been sounding the alarm about Technocracy for decades. He argues that the New World Order will not come about via Communism, Socialism, or Fascism, but rather will come through Technocracy.(1) During the early days of the Second Trump Administration tech billionaire Elon Musk led the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency, exposing waste and fraud and eliminating unnecessary bureaucracy.

Periodicals like The New Yorker and globalist mouthpiece The Atlantic have commented on the possibility of embedding technology into government to implement a form of techno-fascism, despite American Conservatives traditionally opposing such methods. Such fears may not be as irrational as some may assume. Elon Musk's grandfather Joshua N. Haldeman was involved in the technocracy movement during the 1930s and 40s in Canada and evidently made a significant contribution. Elon himself is one of the world's leading technology leaders.

Other authors like Troy Anderson have claimed that Donald Trump's uncle, MIT engineer John Trump, had access to or even possessed FBI files on Nikola Tesla and his banned technologies.

Returning to the map above, it interestingly goes from Venezuela in the extreme south to Greenland in the extreme north. For this to work the Panama Canal would have to be under the Technate's control. Just today President Trump is talking about taking possible action in Colombia, Cuba, and Mexico, citing the Monroe Doctrine - in which America asserts its influence primarily in the Western Hemisphere.

Trump is openly saying that the U.S. is going to run Venezuela and take over oil production. The sales pitch is that America will be more respected in the world and that the grateful people of Venezuela have been liberated. But this could have precisely the opposite of that effect. Democracy-building projects in the past have not tended to go very well. America's reputation as the above-the-law international bully that does whatever it wants could only be further entrenched.

Economists have argued that ideas floated by Trump, including Tarrif Dividend Checks, a Sovereign Wealth Fund, and government-funded investment accounts for newborns, could all pave the way for and evolve into means of providing Universal Basic Income (UBI), though Trump has publicly opposed UBI in the past. Proponents of Technocracy argue that UBI would be necessary as human jobs are phased out by Artificial Intelligence, machines, and increased scientific efficiency.

Additionally, President Trump's 20 point plan for Gaza includes transitioning governance over to Technocrats (see here and here). This shows that President Trump is actually advocating for and attempting to implement a Technocratic government elsewhere. So is it such a leap that this might be a part of his domestic agenda as well?

Looking back through headlines from the last three weeks, President Trump has been laying the groundwork for what has taken place in Venezuela and presumably for actions to follow.

American Conservatives and Evangelicals need to be wise as serpents (but innocent as doves Matthew 10:16) here. I fear we are being sold a bill of goods. If this is the case many will go right along with it since Trump is the President.
