The Immigration Debate
The ying-yang of corporate imperialism: not only grab natural resources by chasing people off their native land in the 3rd world but also get "cheap labor" that way and then get busy using them as scapegoat in domestic politics. Works wonders for the right wingers as their disastrous economic policies squeeze the middle class by offshoring jobs to slave societies and bringing in slave labor from abroad.

Blackwater
"Blackwater has been at the center of a number of pivotal moments in Iraq. In fact, I don't know that there's any other private entity that's had more of an influence on events on the ground in Iraq than Blackwater.(...)
And then in the past year, there have been a number of incidents that not only have impacted Iraqi civilians, but have caused tensions between Baghdad and Washington."

Alan Greenspan
Alan Greenspan on Democracy Now:
AMY GOODMAN: Well, they are talking about, in one day, for example, the East Rutherford operation center of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, 100 Orchard Street in East Rutherford, a tractor-trailer truck pulling up, and though accustomed to receiving and shipping large quantities of cash, the vault had never before processed a single order of this magnitude: $2.4 billion in $100 bills. But ultimately, again, $9 billion of $12 billion gone missing in Iraq.
ALAN GREENSPAN: I am not familiar with any such evidence. And it was certainly not brought to my attention. I, frankly, find it very unlikely that those orders of magnitude were involved in any of the numbers that we were dealing with.
NAOMI KLEIN: Well, I would just add that it's quite surprising, actually, that Mr. Greenspan is unaware of this scandal around Iraq's missing billions, because Paul Bremer had to testify before Congress and was asked directly about those missing billions. It's been the subject of very high-level investigations.
