Dr. Sebastian Gorka on NY’s Democrat gubernatorial candidate and Socialism proponent, Cynthia Nixon
“‘My parents lived and actually suffered under fascism and then socialism. Let’s not forget that those two are linked…the phrase Nazi actually comes from ‘national socialist workers party.’ Millions, hundreds of millions suffered under that system. I saw it for myself after the fall of the Berlin wall. I went to live behind the former Iron curtain for 15 years. It’s very simple. This system crushes human souls. “There is no equality under socialism, it’s a lie. Whether you’re in Cuba, whether you’re in the Soviet Union, whether you’re in China today, North Korea. A tiny number of people have all the wealth and all the power and everybody else suffers. And if you disagree with that elite, the most scary thing of all is that you will be persecuted and sometimes disappear and sometimes you will be killed. The toll of socialism of the last 100 years is 100 million people killed by Cynthia Nixon’s favorite system.'”

Informally dubbed ‘Arab NATO,’ the recently discussed alliance is a Saudi-led effort to counter Iran by coordinating missile defenses, military training and counter-terrorism measures — and would include the six Arab Gulf states in addition to Egypt and Jordan. The Washington summit is tentatively set for Oct. 12-13. The United Arab Emirates’ lead English-language paper, The Gulf News, firmly supported the effort in an editorial: ‘‘Arab Nato’ can counter Iran more effectively’.”
