In doing so, they help perpetuate an obsolete relationship between work and life. Let's be frank: most of what we do on our jobs is a complete waste of time and nobody should do it! Jobs are an artificial, wasteful and dehumanizing way of organizing useful human activi- ties. Creative freedom and making a useful contribution to society are usually blocked by the 9-5 grind. * * * Much immigration to the U.S. today is a direct result of its imperial history. A migrant workforce is useful to capital because the "social" costs of reproducing labor— costs of education, training and survival — are borne elsewhere. Today it is not only California's agricultural sec- tor which is dependent on an imported workforce (who live in serf-like condi- tions) but also the high-tech industries of Silicon Valley. Companies like Oracle deliberately hire educated Asians and Indians because of their vulnerability before the immigration court (the ad- vantage of "working papers"). No matter which way the "brain drains," U.S. universities are similarly dependent on curious outsiders coming to this coun- try; in 1986, U.S. universities awarded more engineering Ph.D.s to foreigners than Americans.

An outgrowth of Trevor Aaronson’s work as an investigative reporting fellow at the Uni- versity of California, Berkeley—which culminated in an award-winning cover story in Mother Jones magazine—The Terror Factory reveals shocking information about the crimi- nals, conmen and liars the FBI uses as paid informants, as well as documenting the extreme methods the FBI uses to ensnare Muslims in terrorist plots—which are in reality conceived and financed by the FBI.
