The Texas-based oil giant Exxon financed right-wing think tanks to help spread climate change denial across Latin America, according to newly revealed documents published by The Guardian and DeSmog.

“The real reason they sank the boats isn’t fentanyl — it’s black gold.”

What we see now—naval strikes, sea “incidents,” fishing-boats vanishing—is being sold as “anti-drug operations.” Yet the country they’re targeting is sitting atop the world’s richest energy prize.

A recent piece in The New Yorker flagged that the global “war on drug boats” near Venezuela may be serving a different aim: resource-extraction and geopolitical dominance.

So, let’s ask: Is the narrative about fentanyl and fishermen really about stopping traffickers — or about controlling oil infrastructure, shipping lanes, maritime zones and strategic leverage?

If we care about justice, we must insist on:

Full transparency about which vessels were struck, who they were, what evidence was used.

Independent investigations into civilian deaths — not just “enemy narco-boats.”

Whoever profits from Venezuelan oil must be held accountable — and so must those using the “drug war” pretext to cover resource grabs.

Democracy isn’t safe when military power is used to enforce resource access, and when human lives get written off in the cross-hairs of global energy politics.

The fight for the We the People Amendment becomes even more urgent: when corporate and state power merge around resource control, ordinary people and their rights become collateral
