The Terror Factory: Inside the FBI’s Manufactured War on Terror
shows how the Federal Bureau of Investigation has, under the guise of engaging
in counterterrorism since 9/11, built a network of more than 15,000 informants
whose primary purpose is to infiltrate Muslim communities to create and
facilitate phony terrorist plots so that the bureau can then claim victory in
the war on terror.
An outgrowth of Trevor Aaronson’s
work as an investigative reporting fellow at the University of California,
Berkeley, which culminated in an award-winning cover story in Mother Jones magazine, The Terror Factory reveals shocking
information about the criminals, conmen and liars the FBI uses as paid
informants, as well as documents the extreme methods the FBI uses to ensnare
Muslims in phony terrorist plots—which are in reality conceived and financed by
the FBI.
The book offers unprecedented
detail into how the FBI has transformed from a reactive law enforcement agency
to a proactive counterterrorism organization–including the full story of an accused
murderer who became one of the FBI’s most prolific terrorism informants—and how
the FBI has used phony terrorist plots to justify spending $3 billion every
year on counterterrorism.
