Dr Sebastian Gorka, as of February 2020 had a long section entitled "controversy" on his Wikipedia page. His was the first name listed on Chris Donnelly's Washington DC Schedule.
Career
In 1992, he moved to Hungary, where he worked for the Hungarian Ministry of Defence during the prime ministership of József Antall. He also studied for a master's degree in international relations and diplomacy at the Budapest University of Economic Sciences and Public Administration, now known as the Corvinus University, which he completed in 1997. In 1997 he was a Partnership for Peace International research fellow at the NATO Defense College in Rome.
"Terror expert"
Following the 9-11, Gorka became a public figure in Hungary as a television "terrorism expert". This led to his being asked in 2002 to serve as an official expert on the parliamentary investigatory committee created to uncover the Communist background and alleged counterespionage of the new Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Medgyessy. Gorka failed to obtain the necessary security clearance from the National Security Office to serve on the committee, apparently because he was widely regarded as a spy working for British counterintelligence.
Connections
In August 2016, he joined The Institute of World Politics, a private institution, on a full-time basis as Professor of Strategy and Irregular Warfare and Vice President for National Security Support.
Sebastian Gorka was scheduled to have breakfast with Chris Donnelly, (director of the Institute for Statecraft), the first meeting listed on Chris Donnelly's Washington DC Schedule.
