Mujahedin Khalq; A proxy force

MEK, the US’s proxy war ally!

Former US Army officer Joachim Hagopian said US Senator John McCain is using MEK, a terrorist cult, as his proxy war ally in the US covert war against the current Islamic Republic of Iran government.

Joachim Hagopian who is a West Point graduate and former US Army officer is also a regular contributor to Global Research, Sott.net and LewRockwell.com. In an interview with Balkans Post, he was asked about the meeting that former Arizona Senator John McCain had last month with the leader of the terrorist group Mujahedeen Khalq Organization (the MKO/ MEK/ the Cult of Rajavi).

Hagopian is a critic of the US war mongers’ campaign. He has so far published several articles on the US-backed terrorists in the Middle East.  He suggests that the MKO are “the same terrorists that killed American military and civilian personnel in pre-revolution Iran” while it is “touted by the warmongering McCain as courageous freedom fighters.”

This is not the first time that Hagopian slams McCain for his support for terrorists and his hawkish hunger for war. Back in December 2015 he published a post on Global Research where he denounced John Mccain and Lindsey Graham –another MKO sponsor—for their push for more aggression in the Middle East. “Fast forward to four decades and three war defeats later, and our government is still sending Americans off to fight and die in Afghanistan (9800 currently) and Iraq (3500 with another 100 on the way), and now in Syria (50 just proposed with more on the way while war-hawk Bobbsy twins McCain and Graham are calling for 20,000 more troops in Syria),” he wrote. “But this century’s wars we keep hearing red, white and blue, flag waving Americans urging us to “support our troops.”

Besides, it was on March 2017 that the US veteran accused McCain for accepting bribe from another state sponsor of the MKO terrorists, Saudi Arabia. “A year ago McCain was also caught accepting a one million dollar bribe from the House of Sin, I mean Saud, the world’s biggest financier of the world’s biggest terrorist group that the chicken hawk’s been in bed with for years,” stated Hagopian in LewRockwell.com.

According to Hagopian, in his recent interview he condemns the US’s bullying plan to dominate the world. “It’s an outrage that this treasonous senator makes trips to Albania to pay homage to terrorists and accepts awards from terrorist leaders, groups this traitor’s been in bed with, meeting on a regular basis with America’s so called enemy”, he asserts. “This Iranian terrorist group MEK has murdered 12,000 fellow Iranian citizens out of the total 17,000 who’ve been victims of terrorism.  Like George Soros, McCain is all about war, protecting terrorists and regime change of any nation refusing to succumb to US hegemonic dominance and control, and obviously since 1979 Iran has been in the Empire crosshairs.”

He believes that McCain’s bedfellows including MEK, ISIS, Zionists, AIPAC and Saudi Arabia cannot save his warmonger campaign even if their blackmails mounts to millions of dollars.

Former members of the MEK

MKO ex-member attended a meeting in the European Parliament about Yemen

Ex member Davoud Baghervand Arshad attended a meeting in the European Parliament about Yemen. He exposed MEK-Saudi Arabia collusion in relation to Yemen. Arshad explained that this goes back to the time of Saddam Hussein when Massoud Rajavi clandestinely visited Saudi Arabia and met with Turki Al Faisal, who was head of Saudi intelligence at that time. From that time, they worked together on different issues in the Middle East, including Yemen.

Iran Interlink Weekly Digest

Iran Interlink Weekly Digest – 189

++ Among ex members’ online activity this week is a memoir of MEK life in Iraq. The writer talks about how the MEK used and abused the members until they have become exhausted and almost disabled. He says that now the MEK has swapped the desert for a city but the abuse is the same; overwork until we cannot think properly any more. Another writer talking about Albania describes the difference between the standard of living enjoyed by the leadership elite and the struggles of the rank and file who do not have proper food or clothing. Maryam Rajavi spends whatever money the MEK has in order to promote herself, says the writer, but nobody in the MEK dares to raise their voice. If they do, they will be labelled an ‘agent of the Iranian regime’ and put on trial to explain themselves – why did you think of that, what is wrong with you – rather than it being acknowledged as just a statement of fact.

++ Ex member Ehsan Bidi in Tirana this week wrote a short article referring to an item on the MEK’s website which is titled ‘the punishment for being a lion is to be caged’. Bidi says ‘you have written this to wring out tears for Massoud Rajavi, but I believe that it’s because you can’t give proof that he’s alive and now you are trying to say he is alive in this way’ – by claiming he is not making himself known because he is in some way constrained. Bidi also adds that Maryam has tried to use this time of absence to replace him but she can’t. She is bogged down in Albania and can’t keep the MEK going.

++ Ex member Davoud Baghervand Arshad attended a meeting in the European Parliament about Yemen. He exposed MEK-Saudi Arabia collusion in relation to Yemen. Arshad explained that this goes back to the time of Saddam Hussein when Massoud Rajavi clandestinely visited Saudi Arabia and met with Turki Al Faisal, who was head of Saudi intelligence at that time. From that time, they worked together on different issues in the Middle East, including Yemen. Two other ex members, Batoul Soltani and Reza Sadeghi, attended a different meeting in the European Parliament.

In English:

++ Albanian Pa Rrena website writes a short opinion piece exhorting people to remember, as they worry about various destabilizing scenarios involving Russia or Serbia, the MEK are already in Albania as a destabilizing factor.

++ Massoud Khodabandeh published a piece in Top Topic exposing Maryam Rajavi’s plots to blackmail the Albanian government into replacing the role played by Saddam Hussein; in Iraq any dissident members could be sent to a political prison. Rajavi has used the forced confessions of dissenting members to threaten her group that in Albania she has even more power than in Iraq. She published letters of support by US personalities to underline her message that she is directly backed by the CIA and Pentagon.

++ Press TV reports that Iranian anti-terror activists met with the Swiss Ambassador to Iran, Giulio Haas, who represents American interests in Iran. They told him about MEK terrorist activity in Iran and said, “All the families of the victims of terrorism are shocked by how [US] senators and officials are linked with and support the MKO leaders and consider it as a blatant support for terrorism in the international arena”.

++ In an interesting article Mazda Parsi of Nejat Society contrasts the MEK’s propaganda against the Iranian elections with the extremely undemocratic behaviour of the group itself. “A look at the history of the MKO and the Iranian government demonstrates the dimensions of democracy that are observed in each establishment. While the MKO cult leaders accuse the Iranian authorities of being fundamentalist, dictator and undemocratic there have never recorded a fair election in the whole history of the group. The above-mentioned type of undemocratic elections are exactly the only ones that were held in the MKO. No matter the person is supposed to be selected for what rank, there is always one candidate and members are supposed to vote for this only one without any opposition. In the voting process, there is no polling station, no ballot box. No one’s vote is secret. Members of the Cult of Rajavi have to raise their hands in a public ceremony to indicate their agreement with the selected person. There is no alternative choice and there is no option to dissent the selected person.”

Mujahedin Khalq Organization's Propaganda System

The MKO‘s Propaganda against Iranian Elections on the ground of Fiction

Only, a few weeks left to the presidential elections in Iran, the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (the MKO/MEK/the Cult of Rajavi) has launched its predictable propaganda campaign against the Islamic Republic. As usual, the group labels the Iranian elections as “sham”.

Reviewing the substance of elections in governing systems around the world it is worth to compare them with elections held in both ruling systems of the Islamic Republic and the Cult of Rajavi.

Elections are the central institution of democratic systems. The principal mechanism for linking public opinion into the system’s authority is the holding of elections.

All modern democracies hold elections, but not all elections are democratic. Right-wing dictatorships, Marxist regimes, and single-party governments also stage elections to give their rule the impression of legitimacy. In such elections, there may be only one candidate or a list of candidates, with no alternative choices. These are not democratic elections.

In contrast, democratic elections are not merely symbolic but they are competitive, periodic, inclusive, definitive elections in which the main decision-makers in a government are selected by citizens.

A look at the history of the MKO and the Iranian government demonstrates the dimensions of democracy that are observed in each establishment. While the MKO cult leaders accuse the Iranian authorities of being fundamentalist, dictator and undemocratic there have never recorded a fair election in the whole history of the group. The above-mentioned type of undemocratic elections are exactly the only ones that were held in the MKO. No matter the person is supposed to be selected for what rank, there is always one candidate and members are supposed to vote for this only one without any opposition. In the voting process, there is no polling station, no ballot box. No one’s vote is secret. Members of the Cult of Rajavi have to raise their hands in a public ceremony to indicate their agreement with the selected person. There is no alternative choice and there is no option to dissent the selected person.

Compare this undemocratic system to the one in Iran. Despite all deficiencies, the elections in Iran are competitive, periodic and inclusive in which candidates from the two main political wings including conservatives and reformists take part. They run their presidential campaigns, participate in debates and try to challenge their rivals, much similar to what takes place in famously known democracies in Europe and America.

Leaders of the Cult of Rajavi run their propaganda machine against the Iranian presidential elections as they are backed by certain warmonger figures of the US government who find them as the enemy of their enemy. Saeed Kamali Dehghan of the Guardian finds the exiles such as Reza Pahlavi and the MKO that seek regime change in Iran, as people “who are irrelevant to modern Iran, yet appeal to gullible Americans”.

KamaliDehghan accurately asserts that the MKO and the Monarchists do not represent the aspirations of the Iranian People. “Nevertheless, the Iranian people by and large still believe in gradual change, however slow the pace of reform might be,” he writes. “Huge turnouts for elections represent a rejection of the sort of things that Pahlavi and Rajavi have to offer.”

He confirms that the MKO is never a reliable source for the enemies of the Iranian nation. “In their constant mission to demonise Iran, the US, Israel and Saudi Arabia have heavily relied on groups such as MEK,’’ he suggests. “The fact of the matter is that they remain out of touch with the realities on the ground.”

Former members of the MEK

Iranian anti-terror activists slam US support for MKO

A group of Iranian anti-terrorism activists have slammed some US officials’ support for the terrorist Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO).

At a meeting with Swiss Ambassador to Tehran Giulio Haas, who represents the US interests in Tehran, a group of representatives of the Association for Defending Victims of Terrorism (ADVT) presented an account of how their loved ones had been killed in different terror incidents in Iran, particularly the terror operations conducted by the MKO.

“All the families of the victims of terrorism are shocked by how [US] senators and officials are linked with and support the MKO leaders and consider it as a blatant support for terrorism in the international arena,” an ADVT member said at the meeting.

Another activist underlined the important role of international organizations in alleviating the problems of the victims of terror and stressed that the issue should turn into a matter of grave concern for the global community.

The Swiss envoy, for his part, expressed sympathy with the victims of terrorism and noted that he will convey their message to the US officials.

The MKO, the most hated terrorist group among the Iranians, has carried out numerous terrorist attacks against Iranian civilians and government officials over the past three decades.

Out of the nearly 17,000 Iranians killed in terrorist assaults since the victory of Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution, about 12,000 have fallen victim to MKO’s acts of terror.

The terrorist group also sided with the former Iraqi dictator, Saddam Hussein, during Iraq’s eight-year imposed war against Iran in the 1980s. The group also helped Saddam in his brutal crackdown on his opponents.

Maryam Rajavi

MEK’s Maryam Rajavi blackmails Albania to become the new ‘Saddam regime’ for them

The forced relocation of the MEK organisation from Iraq to Albania resulted in drastic changes within the group. No longer forced to endure the extremes of heat and cold in Baghdad, living alongside ordinary family neighbours for the first time in two decades and the loss of their leader Massoud Rajavi have all profoundly affected the members. They now have the ‘luxury’ to think and their changed environment and circumstances have led them to challenge the leadership.

Defections started almost immediately and the MEK is now in the grip of a crisis of disaffection. The problem was exacerbated when Sahar Family Foundation moved its operation from Baghdad to Tirana. Sahar was created to offer support and help to families of MEK members who were trying to get in touch with their estranged loved ones in the MEK while they were based in Iraq. The MEK leaders regard families and familial relations as “poison” and have tried every way possible to prevent these families contacting their loved ones in the group.

Now that Sahar has begun its work in Albania, the new MEK leader Maryam Rajavi has panicked. Sahar began by reminding the UNHCR and Albanian authorities of the international laws governing refugees, in particular UN human rights conventions and articles, and how the MEK rejects these norms.

Maryam Rajavi reacted by shooting herself in the foot. https://www.mojahedin.org/news/197420

Maryam’s counter campaign is based on the tactics used by Massoud Rajavi in Iraq – blackmail and coercion – but it is too little and too late and has lost its potency.

Soon after Sahar started its campaign to inform Albanian authorities of the MEK’s illegal and scandalous behaviours, Rajavi announced that three disaffected individuals, Hadi Sanikhani, Gholamreza Shokri and Sarfaraz Rahimi, had made contact with their families in Iran and declared them therefore to be ‘agents of the regime’. For this reason, she said, “we will cut their refugee allowances from now”. The MEK then said that the only way for their UNHCR money to be restored was for these individuals (and others) to write whatever the MEK dictates. In Saddam’s prisons the MEK also used such coercive tactics to force compliance and silence.

The three individuals went to the UNHCR office and explained what had happened. The UNHCR advised them to go the MEK’s HQ and talk to them. There they were threatened and attacked by MEK operatives. Two of them have since published their account of the events, but Sarfaraz Rahimi has given in and accepted to write for them. He writes what they dictate against the other two – who are understandably complaining about having no food or money in Tirana – condemning them as agents of the Iranian regime.

Rajavi then publishes these letters of Rahimi alongside letters signed by American personalities in support of the MEK.

The letters from the Americans are addressed to the Albanian Prime Minister and bear the familiar hallmark of MEK authorship. (One letter published by the MEK is signed in blue ink. We can only speculate how the MEK obtained the original letter which should have been sent directly from the Americans to the Albanian PM!)

 

This combination of letters (forced confessions alongside Americans letters to the Albanian PM claiming Iran is operating against the MEK in Albania under the guise of cultural centres, etc) had two aims. One was to warn dissidents inside the MEK what will happen if they leave or disobey orders. The other aim was to get the Albanian government to back the MEK and replicate the role played by Saddam Hussein in the group’s survival by punishing dissent, only this time in Albania.

Reactions were not as Rajavi wanted or anticipated. Inside the MEK and among ex-members there has been outrage. It seems to everyone that after three decades of unpaid work for the MEK and Saddam Hussein, the day someone leaves they instantly confess, in their own writing, to being an agent of the Iranian regime. There are only two possibilities: the organisation is lying and takes forced confessions, or the organisation is a training ground for agents of the regime.

Others complain that although the Americans have the right to recruit people as mercenaries, they do not have the right not to pay them and force them to be gladiators in Albania.

Albanians themselves see this MEK presence as yet further evidence that America is using their country for any and every form of corruption and illegal activity. Albania is still notorious as a centre for narcotics, arms smuggling and people trafficking in spite of efforts to clean up the country so it can join the EU. Albanians complain that their country is reportedly being used to smuggle US arms to Syria and other places for so-called ‘moderate’ rebels, that NATO uses Albania to conduct activities it can’t perform in the US or EU and that the CIA and the Pentagon have turned Albania into an extra-judicial base for nefarious activities. And now John Bolton and Senator John McCain alongside others use Albania as a springboard to pursue unclear political agendas which may include training terrorists and providing land and logistic for groups which are to be deployed in other countries.

Along with dumping nuclear waste and Guantanamo Bay prisoners, Albania now has had the MEK dumped on it. Instead of getting advice and support to de-radicalise these fanatics the government is being blackmailed and corrupted into performing the same role as Saddam Hussein undertook to protect and deploy the MEK.

Albania

Albania’s destabilization? You have forgotten hundreds of Mojahedin!

Day after day somebody articulates a scenario about the destabilization of Albania. Someone talks about the Serbian scenario, others about the Russian scenario… but nobody mentions a time bomb, which is several hundred terrorists, known as the Mojahedin from Iran, brought to our country under the umbrella of ‘humanitarian aid’.

In many countries, this group continues to be known as a terrorist organization and to be treated as such. They are known especially for war crimes against their own country on behalf of Saddam Hussein in the Iran-Iraq war.

Today, a considerable part of this army is located on the outskirts of Tirana and they move freely in the capital and other cities, becoming the cause of tension between Iran and Albania. From Tirana, this organization conducts activity to overthrow Tehran’s government, which places our country in a hostile position without any need. We can observe them in their distinctive clothing in the capital’s streets, they move in small or large groups, but never alone. They have no family and obey as a typical military organization.

So, as we calculate a Russian, a Serbian or any other scenario, it is not a bad thing to bear in mind that this foreign army – we repeat, considered for long time as a terrorist organization by the EU, US, Canada, and Great Britain, etc – is today deployed and active inside of Tirana!

–

Destabilizim i Shqipërisë? Keni harruar qindra muxhahidinët!

Po artikulohet ditë pas dite kohët e fundit një skenar destabilizimi i Shqipërisë. Dikush flet për skenar serb, të tjerë për skenar rus….por askush nuk përmend një minë me sahat, që janë disa qindra terroristë, të njohur si muxhahedinët nga Irani, dhe që janë sjellë në vendin tonë nën petkun e “ndihmës humanitare”

Në shumë vende ky grupim vazhdon të njihet si organizatë terroriste e të konsiderohet si e tillë. Ata janë të njohur sidomos pèr krime lufte kundër vendit të tyre, për llogari të Sadam Huseinit në luftën Iran – Irak.

Sot, një pjesë e konsiderueshme e kësaj armate ndodhet në rrethinat e Tiranës dhe lëviz e lirë në kryeqytet e qytete të tjera, duke u bërë objekt tensioni mes Iranit dhe Shqipërisë. Nga Tirana kjo organizatë zhvillon aktivitet për përmbysjen e pushtetit të Teheranit, gjë që e vendos vendin tonë në një pozitë armiqsore, pa qenë nevoja. Ju ka qëluar t’i shihni me veshjet karakteristike udhëve të kryeqytetit, tek lëvizin në grupe të mëdha ose të vogla, po kurrë vetëm. Ata nuk kanë familje dhe i binden një organizimi tipik ushtarak.

Pra ndërsa llogarisim një skenar rus, apo serb a kushedi ç’tjetër, s’është keq të mbajmë parasysh edhe. Këtë ushtri të huaj, e përsërisim, të konsideruar për shumë kohë si organizatë terroriste nga BE, SHBA, Kanada, Britani e madhe etj, sot e kemi të dislokuar dhe aktive brenda në  Tiranë!

Truth
Mujahedin Khalq; A proxy force

US Media and Iran’s MEK Terrorists Who Cried Wolf

Right-wing, anti-Iranian figures and media in the United States have begun circulating claims that Iran had violated the JCPOA that resulted from the P5+1 nuclear negotiations, and indeed has a nuclear weapons

program. Various pro-Israeli and anti-Iranian voices in the US echoed this claim. Mark Toner was even asked about the allegations during a press briefing in April.

The source for this allegation was the National Council of Resistance of Iran, a front group for the Mujahadeen E-Khalq (People’s Holy Warriors). Putting aside the group’s shady history, terrorism, and bizarre cultish practices, the claims should have immediately been discredited. Why? These exact same forces were caught lying back in 2015, with similar claims.

Truth

In 2015, as the nuclear negotiations were nearing their completion, the NCIR published photos of a safe, claiming it was in Iran and contained materials related to a secret nuclear weapons program. The photo the NCIR released was proven to have been taken from a French website selling safes. The group was caught in an obvious lie.

Iran’s nuclear energy program has never been proven to have any military uses. The International Atomic Energy Agency has watched over all of Iran’s nuclear activities, and following the negotiations in 2015, almost all of the peaceful nuclear energy program has been shut down.

A Bizarre “Islamo-Marxist” Terrorist Cult

The 2015 photo flub was not the first time the MEK has been caught lying about Iran. Over the last ten years they have continued to make claims that they have proof of an Iranian nuclear weapons program. None of their claims have ever been verified. MEK did, however, cooperate with Israel’s Mossad to assassinate peaceful nuclear scientists teaching at Iranian Universities. Who is the source of all these fraudulent claims that continue to be treated with credibility in the US media? So, who is the MEK?The Mujahadeen E-Khalq is a religious/political cult formed in Iran during the 1970s. At the time Iran was led by a US backed dictator, the Shah. While various groups organized resistance to the Shah in the form of guerrilla warfare, strikes, and protests, the MEK conducted adventurist acts of violence and terrorism. In addition to Iranians, Americans were also victims of MEK’s terrorism prior to the Iranian revolution of 1979.

The Mujahadeen E-Khalq calls its belief system “Islamo-Marxism.” The founder, Masoud Rajavi, claims to be a prophet brought to earth by God in order to usher in some kind of Islamic Communist revolution.  MEK’s beliefs could almost be described as an Islamic version of Reverend Jim Jones “People’s Temple,” which reached its peak during the same time period. Like Rajavi, Jones also claimed to be some kind of prophet who could spiritually combine the world’s religions with soviet-style Marxism in order to foment global revolution. Also like the People’s Temple, many people have died as a result of Rajavi’s fanatical and violent organization.

A History of Terrorism & War Crimes

After Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution, the MEK briefly aligned with [Ayatollah] Khomeini, hoping they could influence the Iranian revolution from within. After one of their allied clerics was deposed, the MEK launched a bombing campaign against the Islamic Republic. In 1981, the MEK bombed a meeting of Iran’s Islamic Republican Party, killing 72 people.

During the Iraq-Iran war, Saddam Hussein began funding and arming the MEK. The MEK formed an armed body called the Iranian National Liberation Army. In 1988, MEK fighters were airdropped into Iran by Iraqi aircraft. Its members proceeded to raze villages, slaughtering, men, women, and children, before ultimately being defeated by the Iranian military. It is estimated that tens of thousands of civilians were killed by MEK fighters during the Iraq-Iran war.

After the war, MEK set-up shop in Iraq, being coddled by Saddam Hussein’s government. Hussein used the MEK as shock troops to suppress the Kurds and other uprisings against him during the 1990s.

MEK is now headquartered in France, with Massoud Rajavi, the wife of the cult’s founder, claiming to be Iran’s President in exile. During the 1990s, the cult ordered all members to divorce their spouses, as marriage was considered a distraction from achieving the cult’s goal of toppling the Iranian government. MEK’s base of operation, Camp Ashraf in Iraq, has been operated as a kind of mini-police state. According to Human Rights Watch, within Camp Ashraf, the death penalty and torture is frequently used against residents. Reports described individuals being dragged by ropes around their necks, among other routine atrocities.

The Spirit of the Agreement

Throughout his presidency, the Tea Party and Republicans frequently accused Barack Obama of being a “Muslim” and a “Communist.” Ironically, however, the Mujahadeen E-Khalq is a favored group of the Republican Party, despite being self-described as “Islamo-Marxists.”

With the support of Hillary Clinton, the MEK was removed from the list of designated foreign terrorist organizations in 2012 by the US State Department. The decision was based on claims that MEK had “renounced violence.” However, at the very time the process of delisting was in the works, MEK assassinated Iranian Nuclear Scientists.

The fact that the group was caught intentionally using a fake photograph against Iran in 2015, in addition to all of its terrorism and war crimes, should discredit its recent statements about Iran in the US media. However, despite their previous lies and horrendous record, certain US media outfits remain so biased and hostile to Iran, that they still repeat their claims.

While no evidence exists that Iran has violated the JCPOA, Donald Trump recently stated to the press that Iran had violated “the spirit of the agreement.” How does one define “the spirit?” Will Iran be punished for such a subjective crime, despite fulfilling all of its written obligations?

Only time will tell.
