Have you read the @ForeignPolicy article but would like to dive further into the colorful world of Gorka& #39;s dissertation? Would you like to know more about the scholarly chops of the man just appointed to a four-year term on a defense education board?
Well, you& #39;re in luck! https://twitter.com/smsaideman/status/1283208808974753793">https://twitter.com/smsaidema...

The amazing @BeijingPalmer commissioned the @ForeignPolicy article after I started a multi-part deep dive into the dissertation (NB: while I cannot prove it, they self-destruct, I believe one of my tweets was the main originating vector for #GorkaDiagrams) https://www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2017/02/sebastian-gorkas-dissertation-part-i">https://www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2017/02/s...
I eventually wrote four blogposts (in addition to the article) on the diss. I must admit that – after hours of looking at references, trying to make sense of diagrams, and checking it for plagiarism – I left a lot of material on the cutting room floor. https://www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2017/02/the-gorka-dissertation-part-ii">https://www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2017/02/t...
This might have been related to my untreated adult ADHD. It might have been the fact that I sometimes felt bad about scrutinizing a dissertation. My own had some major issues. But what kept me going was the knowledge that this charlatan was on the NSC. https://www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2017/03/the-gorka-dissertation-part-iii">https://www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2017/03/t...
In Part III, which I linked to above, I discuss the murky issue of attribution in his dissertation. Part IV concluded the series. https://www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2017/03/done-sebastian-v-gorkas-dissertation">https://www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2017/03/d...
Still, Part IV will always have a special place in my heart, as that& #39;s where Gorka showed up in the comments thread ("larvatus prodeo"). I have screenshots if those comments ever go away. https://www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2017/03/done-sebastian-v-gorkas-dissertation">https://www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2017/03/d...

And another. Alas, the full Twitter thread is no more. https://www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2018/01/gorkas-gotta-gorka">https://www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2018/01/g...
