For White House Counterterror Adviser, Media Attacks Are Latest Theater of Battle (Gorka)

Washington Free Beacon ^ | Bill Gertz

Gorka said the goals for the new Trump administration's counterterrorism program and policies are simple. "As the president said [Friday] we will ‘obliterate' groups like ISIS and wipe the scourge of radical Islamic terrorism from the face of the earth," he said.

The media attacks prompted friends and supporters of Gorka on Capitol Hill and in the military and special operations community to voice their support.

"The bottom line is Sebastian Gorka's work is a necessary tool for all special operations forces in developing critical thinking," said an Army special operations officer familiar with Gorka's counterterrorism lectures in Tampa, Florida, and Fort Bragg, North Carolina.

The officer said Gorka has been most valuable in helping hundreds of commandos properly identify and understand the nature of the threat posed by Islamist terrorists.

"Our biggest threat we face is tied to radical Islam," the officer said. "We teach our Special Forces how to think, not what to think. [Gorka's] speeches have been 100 percent factual and the reason he has spoken so often is that he has been able to connect with warrant officer candidates."

"We've lived the last decade and a half of war and this is our lives. Having someone like Mr. Gorka who connects with our groups, gives us a solid foundation."

Retired Army Lt. Gen. John M. Mulholland, a career Special Forces officer, said he has known Gorka from his counterterrorism lectures.

"Seb has always been first and foremost a patriot, dedicated to this country," Mulholland said in an interview. "He has been very supportive to us in helping us understand the threat so we can apply our capabilities to support the nation against the unconventional warfare threat, in this case, the terrorism threat."

Back in October 2011 one of the most astute lawmen in Washington, Cong Louis Gohmert (Repub-TX), a former judge, questioned then-DHS Secy Janet Napolitano about Mohamed Elibiary, a member of the Department of Homeland Security Council (DHS) given a high level security clearance by then-pres Obama.

Elibiary allegedly accessed, illegally, from his home computer, a Texas State and Local Intelligence Community database.....(Elibiary was ousted from the Homeland Security Advisory Council for shady activities---and settled in Texas).

Napolitano managed to unglue her lips from Obama's behind---and told Cong Gohmert she knew nothing about it, and that she would "personally" do the investigation. (waiting for hysterical laughter to die down)

=========================================================

Obama gave 5 MILLION federal hires Obama top security clearance.

======================================================

The following have top US security clearance

Arif Alikhan, assistant secretary of Homeland Security for policy development;

Mohammed Elibiary, a member of the Homeland Security
Advisory Council (ousted for using his home computer
to tap into a Texas State and Local Intelligence Community database;

Rashad Hussain, the U.S. special envoy to the Organization of the Islamic Conference;

Salam al-Marayati, co-founder of the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC);

Imam Mohamed Magid, president of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA);

Eboo Patel, a member of President Obama's Advisory Council on Faith-Based Neighborhood Partnerships.

==================================================

Estimates range from several thousand to approximately eight million Islamic fighters inside the United States as we type. The exact number is unknown. Several thousand could create havoc if a coordinated attack was to occur. keep in mind, on 9/11, just 19 Islamic fighters and hijackers killed almost three thousand people. One has to believe the worst case scenario----that nearly eight million are already here....and being welcomed by Obama.

========================================================

Cong Michelle Bachman says the FBI told her Americans who joined ISIS are allowed back in the US.

Rumana Ahmed, a hijab-wearing Muslim woman who worked at the National Security Council during the Obama administration must know plenty about this. She worked eight days into the Trump admin, then quit.

=======================================

Pittsburgh FBI field office's Cyber-security Unit is trying to identify those individuals behind breaches of the DNC's computer systems. The 2015 and early 2016 breaches exposed the internal communications of Democrat party officials as the convention got underway........

Three Muslim brothers---IT workers on Cpitol Hill---apparently compromised House Intelligence, and Foreign Affairs Committee members: Abi Awan, Imran Awan and Jamal Awan, are said to be Pakistani foreign nationals. They worked within the IT department for Democrats exclusively---members of the House Permanent Intelligence Committee, including Cong Debbie Wasserman Schultz----onetime DNC chair.

There is a fourth brother and his Muslim wife involved in sensitive political IT exclusively for Democrats....all share a residence.

===========================================

CONGRESS AND THE FBI NEED TO DETERMINE:

<><> Extent of Wassermann-Schultz and the DNC's assistance to the three members of the intelligence panel and five members of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs who were among the dozens of elected members employing the suspects on a shared basis.

<><>Were govt intel computers ever transported off-premises?

<><>Did the FBI and/or Secret Service accompany and supervise the transport of the server?

<><> Did the three brothers have an active email account?

<><> Was there continuity of intel computer activity or did the intel computers ever go off-line?

<><> Who received govt intel?

<><>Did the three brother get officially qualified by Wasserman Schultz and the DNC to handle national-security-level data?

<><> Did the three brothers ever “upgrade, manage, and secure” the DNC server.

<><> What - specifically - did they do?

<><> Did Wasserman Schultz and the DNC vet the three brothers security clearance to handle this type of intel?

<><> What were the DNC firewall protocols in place at the time?

<><>Who, by name, had access to intel computers, and the administrative authorization to do so?

<><>When was that authorization given?

<><>Did the three brothers ever remove all data from the intel computers?

<><> Was malware or antivirus also on the server?

<><> Was the inherent firewall, virus protection, or operating system “upgraded, managed, and secured” by the brothers?

<><> Did Wasserman Schultz at the DNC report any incidents, such as DOS attack, hacking, etc. How were they resolved?

<><> Did the three brothers maintain the DNC intel computer?

<><> Does Wasserman Schultz and the DNC know if the House Permanent Intelligence Committee computers in functioning condition at this time?

<><> Does Wasserman Schultz and the DNC have the work schedule of the brothers just prior to being outed for security breaches?

<><> Were normal and regular backup procedures executed on the server?

<><> Where are the back-ups kept?

<><> If no backups were taken, does the DNC have a disaster recovery location? Where is that?

<><> Did the DNC have a backup plan if the House Permanent Intelligence Committee plan intel equipment failed or was found to have been compromised?

<><> Does Wasserman Schultz and the DNC have a list of other foreign nationals (from countries President Obama identified as terrorist countries) Democrats employed on Capitol Hill?

<><> The DNC should list foreign nationals by name and country on Democrats' payrolls, who currently have access to US intel and are using govt computers.

I’m not familiar with Mr. Gorka or his work, but all of a sudden I’ve seen media hit pieces on him the last several days.

This article seems a strange response.

[RoosterRedux]

He was a professor at Marine Corp University and now is deputy to Steve Bannon in the White House. He’s a regular on Fox News and is a real authority on jihad and how to defeat it.

[RoosterRedux]

Here's Gorka's book. The reviews will give you a pretty good idea of who he is and what he stands for.

Defeating Jihad: The Winnable War

[ilovesarah2012]

I’m friends with him on Facebook. He’s a great guy and very smart. Supports the president.
