Watch Sebastian Gorka. His appearance looks like real danger to me. Maybe somebody knows him from JFKSWC. @MalcolmNance@nadabakos

@MalcolmNance @nadabakos In US under 10 years and now in White House job? His degrees are fluff. Just looks like a security violation.

@AgXphoto @nadabakos You have been reading my mind for years. His entire claim to fame is world class slamophobe corrupting Marines/SOF

(32,076 posts)Last November, Gorka told Megyn Kelly that the United States has been "fighting jihadis since the Barbary Wars 200 years ago," thus lending his air of authority to the error-riddled contents of a chain email
Gorka dismissed the release of four Americans held in Iran, saying that President Obama "gave away the farm for a Starbucks gift card" by using diplomacy instead of loud, angry noises
Gorka regularly minimizes the threat of right wing domestic terrorism, which has killed more Americans since 9/11 than any other kind, by complaining that ***** attention to homegrown extremists is really a political attack on conservatives ****
Displaying zero military acumen, Gorka would forego any opening to divide and conquer Islamist enemies in the

(21,088 posts)Bannon has spoken passionately about the economic and security dangers of immigration and took the lead role in shaping the immigration order. In a 2014 talk to a meeting at the Vatican, he said the Judeo-Christian West is at war with Islam.
There is a major war brewing, a war thats already global, he said. Every day that we refuse to look at this as what it is, and the scale of it, and really the viciousness of it, will be a day where you will rue that we didnt act. Elsewhere, on his radio show for Breitbart News, Bannon said, Islam is not a religion of peaceIslam is a religion of submission, and he warned of Muslim influence in Europe: To be brutally frank, Christianity is dying in Europe and Islam is on the rise.
Others with similar views of Islam include Sebastian Gorka, who taught at the National Defense University and is a deputy national security adviser. Gorkas wife, Katharine, who headed think tanks that focused on the dangers of Islam, now works at the Department of Homeland Security. Tera Dahl, who was an aide to former Rep. Michele Bachmann, Republican-Minnesota, is a National Security Council official. Walid Phares, a Lebanese American Christian who has advised politicians on counterterrorism, advised Trumps campaign but does not currently have a government post. All four have written for Breitbart News, the right-wing web site previously run by Bannon.
They all reflect the hard-line opinions of what some have described as the Islamophobia industry, a network of researchers who have warned for many years of the dangers of Islam and were thrilled by Trumps election.
Unless they are stopped, there will be foreign wars, and religious/ethnic "cleansing" at home.

Sadly agreed - there will be blood. I'm leaving a great big space for an "act of God", "miracles" and such, but yeah, grim forecast for now - thanks, GG.
