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.

awful lot of fuzz at january 6th
like Larry Elder says the demand for racist white men far outstrips the supply, similar to the demand for muslim terrorists.

>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?
Propaganda outlet?
Unfortunately for you, it is MSM, and intelligence outlets. Basically what you think is fact.
I know it is hard to come to grips that you might not be as omniscient as you believe you are, but hear me out.
What is going on behinds the scenes at major media outlets, social media sites and Intelligence agencies that would prompt them to push the current narratives so hard … Considering how the entire country was lied into war, why should we be trusting US Intelligence now? Sure, you could blame the most recent Iraq War all on the Bush Administration, but it took a team to sell it. There are good and honest people within each organization, but are they being listened to?

These are only a few examples of what a few people within an organization can do to manipulate the narrative. It could be the culture of these bureaucracies that allows this type of behavior, that's up for debate.
Remember, during the first stages of the Iraq war, if you disagreed with the “official” narrative, you were called unpatriotic and unamerican. My, how the tables have turned.
So why are people jumping on board with trusting the Intelligence Agencies now? Could be brainwashing, could be tribalism (team sports politics). The examples above should give pause to the people on that "Russian Collusion" wave. It's not to say all the Russian info is incorrect or that Russian didn't do anything during the US election. It could all be true. But we should all be asking "Why is this intelligence true given these past actions and statements from our Intelligence Agencies?"
