A couple of weeks before he was ousted as deputy assistant to President Donald Trump, Sebastian Gorka gave an explosive two-and-a-half-hour speech to the US Armys special operations school, which an officer who was present characterized as a tirade about the war in Afghanistan, Sharia law, radical Islamic terrorism, and the Trump administrations aggressive policies to counter and defeat it all. It was classic Gorka, said another US Army special operations officer.
BuzzFeed News learned about the speech, which was classified, through documents obtained in response to a Freedom of Information Act request.
Gorka delivered the Aug. 9 lecture, titled Transnational Terrorism/Insurgent Ideology, via secure video teleconference from the White House to students at the US Armys elite Special Operations Center of Excellence, in Fort Bragg.
Special operations command declined to disclose specific details about Gorkas talk because, the emails say, it was classified as secret. A spokesperson for the Armys Special Operations Center of Excellence would only say that Gorka spoke about extremism in religion.

(3,847 posts)1. WTF? How was this nazi allowed to give a speech, a 2 1/2 hour speech
to "elite ops". The Armed Forces wish to keep Fasicism speechs "top secret". Thank God for FOIA.
Howsa about having a real theologist or a real religious studies expery/professor give an educational lecture. I'm sure it wouldn't have lasted two and a half hours either.
