Project Camelot and Socialism XXI: A Controlled Revolution
Project Camelot, a military-sponsored social science study of revolution, was discovered and brought into public view in 1965. Contrary to widespread claims repeated across the media, the project was never truly canceled. Instead, it was internalized and redistributed across several branches of the United States government, continuing its implementation through the State Department, the CIA, the NSA, and other institutions. This restructuring allowed Camelot to avoid further scrutiny amid both international and domestic debate over its political implications.
Camelot eventually evolved into what became known as Socialism XXI. Every major objective originally formulated under Project Camelot was ultimately accomplished, revealing deep connections between Cold War politics, military patronage, and American social science. As early as 2004, I identified this transformation and predicted—accurately and in detail—the actions that Rafael Correa would later take. The evidence defies coincidence. Hugo Chávez, Rafael Correa, Evo Morales, and others followed the Project Camelot blueprint with remarkable precision.
Although public controversy erupted in 1965 and the U.S. government claimed Camelot had been abandoned, this was merely a tactical retreat. The controversy itself—and its long-term implications—underscore the central role of political developments in what was presented as an epistemological revolution. The damage inflicted by the United States on Latin American nations through this process is appalling. What is even more grotesque is that Donald Trump now pretends to use the consequences of this very project as a pretext for military aggression, invasion, and destruction—claiming to fight a monster that the United States itself created.
The Purpose and Mechanism of Project Camelot
Project Camelot was originally conceived as a military-sponsored social engineering study designed to simulate and manage revolutionary processes. Its objective was not merely to understand insurgency, but to control both revolution and counter-insurgency simultaneously—to manufacture a “citizens’ revolution” while regulating ideology, objectivity, SORO frameworks, and so-called value neutrality.
In practice, Camelot engineered a fake socialism—a controlled leftist model that posed as a movement for national sovereignty and resource control. Under this model, a puppet government would proclaim popular revolution, undertake massive infrastructure projects allegedly for the people, and incur enormous debt through onerous loans. These projects would then be contracted to establishment corporations. After roughly a decade, political “change” would be encouraged, allowing the same corporations to purchase the infrastructure for pennies on the dollar and seize control of national resources.
The corruption generated by this model was so extreme that many projects were never completed. As a result, the entire system unraveled across Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, and Argentina.
U.S. Policy Continuity and the Role of Key Actors
It must be acknowledged that Elliott Abrams has influenced U.S. policy toward Venezuela since the PNAC neocon era of 1998. Regardless of which administration occupied the White House, the strategic direction remained consistent. This continuity shaped political decisions, research agendas, and intervention strategies across Latin America.
When I published my book Conspiración en Latinoamérica in 2007, it was largely ignored. Yet everything unfolded exactly as I predicted. The argument is no longer theoretical—it has been empirically validated. Today, Project Camelot—rebranded as Socialism XXI—is being cynically used as justification to promote war against Latin America under the false claim that socialism and communism must be destroyed. In reality, this “socialism” never had ties to Russia; it was always directly connected to the Pentagon and U.S. intelligence structures.
Camelot’s Transformation into Socialism XXI
Anthropologist Ralph L. Beals, a key figure in Project Camelot, participated in the creation of this military-sponsored study of revolutionary processes in the 1960s. When the project was exposed in 1965, officials claimed it would be abandoned. That never happened—it merely changed its name.
Camelot became Socialism XXI, a U.S.-controlled ideological framework. This is easily demonstrated by two facts:
-
U.S. media actively promoted leaders such as Hugo Chávez, Rafael Correa, Evo Morales, and Fernández.
-
The United States imported more goods from these supposedly “leftist” regimes than from governments that presented themselves as genuinely democratic.
In Ecuador, for example, the U.S. purchased nearly twice as much during Correa’s presidency as it did under Lenín Moreno or Guillermo Lasso. This is not an anomaly—it is exactly what Project Camelot prescribed.
Project Camelot was the largest and most expensive social engineering project in U.S. history. Its imperial implications forced the U.S. to claim its cancellation, but the operation continued under a different guise. Hugo Chávez was secretly trained at Fort McNair to implement Socialism XXI in Venezuela and export it throughout the region. The ultimate objective was the internal destruction of these nations to facilitate resource extraction for U.S. benefit.
The Epistemological Revolution
The epistemological revolution that enabled this project began in the 1960s. At its core was a challenge to the post–World War II positivist model of social science, which claimed objectivity and value neutrality while remaining insulated from political influence.
When Socialism XXI was published, it openly described itself as a “scientific revolution.” The difference between Camelot and Socialism XXI is largely presentational: Camelot masqueraded as academic inquiry, while Socialism XXI was an operational manual calling for direct political action based on Camelot’s formulations.
Hugo Chávez and Rafael Correa were not the architects of this movement. They lacked the intellectual capacity to design such a complex nexus of politics, patronage, social science, and economic manipulation. They were not thinkers—they were trained executors. Their role was to implement, not to conceive.
Personal Testimony: Fort McNair and Hugo Chávez
Socialism XXI entered the political stage with Hugo Chávez. By coincidence—or destiny—I encountered direct confirmation of this process. While teaching English and managing rental properties at the Colonies of McLean, I housed several South American military officers, including Venezuelan and Colombian personnel.
At a social gathering in 1999, I was introduced to Hugo Chávez himself. He personally told me he was being trained at Fort McNair. No intermediary conveyed this information—Chávez did.
Military, Academic, and Corporate Integration
Socialism XXI was engineered using psychological warfare techniques designed to win hearts and minds. Its intellectual roots trace back to Cold War doctrines developed by the Department of Defense and RAND Corporation, incorporating deterrence theory, systems analysis, and operations research—particularly economics.
Major private foundations such as Carnegie, Rockefeller, and Ford financed the project alongside national security agencies. Harvard, Columbia University, and MIT’s Center for International Studies were instrumental. Rafael Correa even received an honorary degree from Columbia.
This fusion of military, academic, and corporate power sustained Project Camelot and its successor. Socialism XXI was not an accident—it was a coordinated operation.
The Military–Industrial–Academic Complex
President Eisenhower warned in 1961 about the growing power of the military–industrial complex. Today, that warning has expanded into a military–industrial–academic–financial complex. Companies like Palantir conduct mass surveillance on American citizens. BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street own controlling shares of defense and war-technology corporations. Politicians, courts, and presidents serve as puppets of this structure.
Final Assessment
Socialism XXI—aka Project Camelot—was designed to identify revolutionary activity, manufacture controlled insurgency, and provoke internal conflict within nations under the guise of liberation. According to SORO documents, the project targeted Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, Venezuela, Iran, and Thailand, with comparative studies spanning dozens of additional countries.
Despite claims of abandonment in 1965, everything Camelot predicted and engineered materialized in Venezuela, Ecuador, Argentina, and Bolivia.
The United States has burned all trust. Its interventions have produced no genuine economic development—only devastation. Donald Trump’s current posture seeks to exploit the chaos created by this project as justification for further aggression. That strategy will be rejected outright.
The era of control is over.
