There's actually an entire book written on the subject.

I can't remember what the statistic is, but, I want to say it was something like 90% of the "terrorists" that have been arrested have been FBI setups. So, pretty much only ten percent are real.

From the book Terror Factory: Inside the FBi's Manufactured War on Terrorism:

"When Barack Obama took office in January 2009, his administration provided some early indication that federal law enforcement would deemphasize the targeting of potential terrorists in Muslim communities and focus more attention on right-wing extremists and other growing threats in the U.S. In April 2009, the Dept. of Homeland Security's Office of Intelligence and Analysis released a report titled "Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment," warning that violence could come from right-wing extremists concerned about illegal immigration, abortion, increasing federal powers, and gun control. Returning military veterans were particularly susceptible to recruitment into these extremist groups, the report said.

A political storm gathered following the report, with Fox News providing inspirtaion with exaggerated interpretations such as: "The government considers you a terrorist threat if you oppose abortion, own a gun, or are returning war veteran." U.S. Representative Lamar Smith, a Republican from Texas, accused DHS of "politcal profiling." A House Homeland Security Committee inquiry followed, whih the committee's then-chairman, Bennie Thompson, a Democrat from Mississippi, called "a GOP stunt aimed at embarrassing the new administration." IN fairness, three months before the right-wing report, DHS had released an assessment predicting increased cyber threats from left-wing extremists--but the federal government's concerns about extremists on both ends of the politial spectrum were cut out of the controversy, which became so great that Homeland Security Janet Napolitano withdrew the right-wing report and ordered it re-written."

Good TED talk on the subject: https://www.ted.com/talks/trevor_aaronson_how_this_fbi_strategy_is_actually_creating_us_based_terrorists?language=en

Another book called Green is the New Red is all about how the FBI continues to target left-wing and eco groups as terrorists despite very, very few instances of violence, even going so far as to deliberately entrap them. Meanwhile, right wing terrorists are the most prolific terror group in this country.

> I haven't seen any proof of the fabrication of attacks so I'd research judgement on that.

Really? It took literally 3 seconds to google.

>but there has definitely been a huge benefit to the American economy as well.

Do you not see how evil that sounds? No shit it's been beneficial, that was the point of them doing it. But for one, they got almost all of the benefit. And two, the benefit came from horrific crimes against humanity, so why is that relevant at all?

data shows that over 80% of these "terrorist attacks" are manufactured by the US government by encouraging people who would never have done anything like this, to do so by fooling them into thinking the plan is fool proof. FBI is on record for scouting sites with the individual, encouraging the individuals very aggressively, all so the feds can prevent their own attacks, get media coverage for "stopping the big bad terrorists", and get more funding, keep the citizenry afraid and willing to give up more freedom for a false sense of security.
