Well, once you realize that essentially, large American Fortune 500 companies are actively supported by its spy agency (hint: They Hate Snowden) through a veil of foreign aid and other friendly name sounding causes such as "volunteers of Amazonian language preservation of America" calling in military assets to put down a rebellion from the foreign country, that get in their way of the lootin of their country.
The book 'Confessions of Economic Hitman' perfectly illustrates a sort of "active measures" that take place with increasing lethal consequences for those that oppose them.
1. identify elites in a country (ex. bankers, biz ppl)
2. lucrative contracts and monopoly handed out to elites via government.
3. profit???
4. If no profit, use bribe to corrupt key players.
5. If still no profit, send in the jackals (what EH calls professional assassins), put poison in cigars, drone strike.
6. If tradecraft fails, then they put boots on the ground.
South America is a very good example. It's been thoroughly pillaged by American corporations now for over a century, which has given rise to narco-economy.
