The cult of Rajavi

A Call To Disclose Cult Abnormalities

More than two decades ago when Massoud Rajavi informed of the great change and ideological revolution within Mojahedin Khalq Organization (MKO), still believing to be active as a political group, hardly anybody first came to assume that it was actually the beginning of a long path leading the organization into the abyss of internal and external challenges. Although Rajavi’s marriage with his comrade’s wife received appreciations of a novel move in the group’s internal relations, soon the magnitude of the marriage itself was faded in comparison with other significant consequences of the move that required time to be actualized. The intended personality change in the insiders could not take effect overnight ant it really consumed time to accomplish Rajavi’s plotted ideological principles. Even Rajavi himself anticipated prolongation of the process when he said: “If you fail to comprehend now, be patient. I do not know, maybe you come to understand in one, five or ten years”. 

It was in no way an overstated assertion since he knew well what would come out of his initiated revolution. Still many aspects of his devised ideological ploy and its profound effects remain concealed and beyond the scope of the world. Only in the recent years, and following the disclosures made by many defected members, the outside world has been to some extent informed of the organization’s cultic aspects and internal human tragedies. Interestingly enough, the modern world was even shocked to a great degree to learn about horrible, deplorable stories related by the ex-members about what passes inside the organization.

Of the most outrageous, scandalous cult records recently revealed are hysterectomy operations and Rajavi’s sex scandal, his polygamous marriage with the female cadres of the Leadership Council. Being under the constant influence of cultic behaviors that show most abnormal to the outsiders, the insiders and even the separated members consider them as typically normal. As expounded by Thaler Singer “If you spend enough time in any environment, you will develop a personal history of experience and interaction in it. When that environment is constructed and managed in a certain way, then the experiences, interactions, and peer relations will be consistent with whatever public identity is fostered by the environment and will incorporate the values and opinions promulgated in that environment”. 1

It is of great importance to perceive to what extent the detached members of MKO have come to incorporate abnormal experiences and interactions of the group’s cultic environment now out of that milieu. Long being engaged in cooperative activities with other comrades in an environment that hardly could they realize its cultic structure under the cover of political campaign, these members fail to perceive that they had been coerced into many abnormalities. It has to be pointed out that it is a fact most cult members have experienced and as Singer explains “when you engage in cooperative activity with peers in an environment that you do not realize is artificially constructed, you do not perceive your interactions to be coerced. And when you are encouraged but not forced to make verbal claims to "truly under- standing the ideology and having been transformed," these inter. actions with your peers will tend to lead you to conclude that you hold beliefs consistent with your actions. In other words, you will think that you came upon the belief and behaviors yourself”. 2

So explicitly explained by cult experts, the insiders and newly defected members are unaware of the change in them while in the cult and which are regarded bizarre behaviors by the outside onlookers. The defectors should know that whatever they consider as the mist ordinary, normal and unimportant are much objectionable, bizarre and abnormal to the outside societies. Then, it is best recommended that the defected members of MKO be sensitive to whatever monotonous regularity they were putting up with in the cult and to disclose them to the world to judge for itself.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization's Propaganda System

Is PMOI a democratic organization?

The self-assigned president of the so-called National Council Resistance (which is the political arm and the elegant admirable cover for MEK)without war and with a pen in hand wearing beautiful clothes, recently replied the Italian Newspaper ,Metro, the question on the solution to Iran problem as :

“Support the change inside Iran and by the Iranians, we believe that this is the only way to achieve democracy, free opinion and respecting the rights of minorities. We are a democratic organization.” (According to MEK’s website)

As it is referred to Iranians, they always selected what they wanted and they will absolutely make a change whenever it is needed.

As it is referred to minorities, we have witnessed in MEK how the few number of other religions were forced to change their ideology the example is Mr. Edvard Termado (who is a defector of MEK, he is Christian who was forced by the group to convert to Islam  

                                                           

But about Maryam Rajavi’s word:” we are a democratic organization.” There is a question since we have been in MEK and served there we can understand what you mean by Democratic!?

The forced signatures you took from us or the forced meetings we had to attend every week to insult and beat each other. You mean the people who waist their lives in the prisons of Ashraf where under heavy physical and mental torture the opponents die. Or those who were assassinated by the terror squads and then you claimed that they died due to illness!

Your Democracy is also obvious in the testimonies of hundreds of defectors in various international communities where they denounce the way you forced mothers to leave their children or spouses to divorce, the way you destroyed the family relations. The pure democracy is shown in the ideological leaders’ order for the hysterectomy surgery on women of Ashraf! You might interpret democracy as the forbidden phone contacts between members and their families. We would be so pleased to realize your documented, clear description for this sentence:”we are a democratic organization”

Mujahedin Khalq Organization as a terrorist group

The Guarding Constitution Department of Westfalen province, Germany, on PMOI

The annual report of “The Guarding Constitution Department “of Westfalen province, Germany, on MKO does not include so many changes regarding its last year’s report. The report contains two pages in which there are various notes on Mujahedin Khalq.

The report reads that the sympathizers of MKO/PMOI in Germany are about 900 people and in Westfalen province the number mounts to 400 people. The report declares their organization as Mujahedin, their TV channel as NTV in London saying that their activities on internet are multi-lingual.

The goals of MEK and NCRI are described briefly as to overthrow the Iranian regime and along with their goals MEK/PMOI has established “National Liberation Army” which acts as the military wing of MEK in Iraq.

 

Following the above –mentioned description, the report concludes that “the MEK/PMOI/MKO which is using violence and providing support for violent activities, threatens the foreign interests of Germany (The paragraph 1-3 of Guarding Constitution)MEK is a powerful violent dissident Iranian group that claims to be “ the only democratic alternative “ against the Iranian regime.

The movement is consisted of a hierarchical structure with revolutionary Marxist rules mixed with Shiite Islamism “the report says. The report continues with MEK’s clashes with Islamic Regime of Iran and the election of Maryam Rajavi as the “ President Elect “ of the “ Resistance “,adding that  “ MEK was listed as a terrorist organization by the EU in 2002 but the political wing has excluded from the approach.

On September 12th, 2006, the European Supreme Court annulled the EU’s decision based on the designation of MKO as a terrorist organization, the reason of this ruling included lack of hearing for MKO. But MEK became disappointed of the removal of their name from the terror list and on June 29th, 2007, after MEK’s hearing the EU Council made serious decisions against terrorism especially MEK and NLA which still have been on terror list.”

“In their struggle against Iranian regime, the MEK follows two strategies: political activities, lobbying and fundraising campaigns and also military operations which were supported by Saddam Hussein. The NLA in Iraq launches its attack against Iranian interests and authorities. MEK’s political cadre (NCRI) has always attempted to discredit Iranian leaders outside Iran. The organization uses violent acts as a legal mean, especially while Iranian government authorities visit Germany “the report notes.

Auver-sur-Oise

Auvers-Sur-Oise; Mojahedin dead-end in France

Of the main cause behind intensifying security measures in Auvers-Sur-Oise and concealing it from the focus of the media may be the fact that Mojahedin are highly concerned about the rumors running rampant that insiders are deserting. Majority of those who have defected from the organization are known to be quitters, but to be a deserter is absolutely intolerable. Being a highly closed cult of personality, Mojahedin Khalq Organization disapproves either of the two groups of the quitters and deserters, but, according to many MKO former members, Rajavi discriminates in favor of the former. He is quoted to have reiterated that he prefers to have a member quitting every day to having even one deserter in a year since the cost the latter imposes on the organization is irreparable.

Now this question arises that why a quitter is supposed to impose lower costs on the organization? As a former MKO member explains, when a member declares his willingness to separate the organization, he has to account for some ambiguities, such as being the enemy’s accomplice, and undergo some process. First, the dissident member has to sign papers that his separation is a willful act due to individual frailty and failing to keep on his past enthusiasm for struggle as a freedom fighter. Then, he is forced to sign to discredit any criticism of the organization at any time in future done in his name. Thus, the quitters are careful about whatsoever they say about the organization lest it should make public their signed papers which might indicate that they have talked under outside pressure and discredit whatever made testimonies. That is just what happened in the case of Marzieh Qursi who quitted MKO last year and tried to unveil some of its cultic activities and features.

Mojahedin justify that the process at least works as a barrier for possibly further collaboration of separated members with the other oppositions in general and the Iranian regime in particular hence cutting costs to the possible extent. However, those members who manage to escape from or desert MKO impose a greater cost on the organization since they are under no obligation and have signed no particular paper. They freely take the opportunity to disclose whatever the organization tries to keep concealed about its cultic relations and scandals. In the same way, it is evident that the members’ slinking away from Auvers-Sur-Oise would be in no way tolerable and is incomparable with escapes made from Camp Ashraf.

There are evidences that disclosures of members deserted while in Europe have been much more effective compared to those escaped from Camp Ashraf. The reason may be their familiarity with the Western culture and knowledge of appropriate terminology and the ways in which the real nature of Mojahedin can better be publicized. For example, Masoud Banisadr’s “The memoirs of an Iranian rebel” has been much more successful than oral statements and testimonies made by other separated members. Also, the fact that Auvers-Sur-Oise has drawn the attention of France security agencies is another impetus for Mojahedin to maneuver on Camp Ashraf than Auvers-Sur-Oise and its occupants.

It has to be also pointed out that there are countless instances of complaints and objections made by local citizens who are disturbed by living in the vicinity of Rajavi gang’s residence; as it was one of the reasons for Rajavi’s expulsion from France when protests were made that he was shattering peace and security in the suburbs of Paris. However, at the present Mojahedin run two strategic strongholds which are under the threat of disintegration and dissolution. They know well that collapse of Ashraf may lead to their strategic blockade in Auvers as well, so they reluctantly abide by the imposed rules of being under the control of outsiders as done in Iraq.

Wherever they are, Mojahedin necessitate a camp-like location to run a collective life. Contrary to their phase of armed struggle which bore no settlement, now they are highly in need of a dwelling to survive. Unlike the past, they are in need of securing a permanent setting to run a seemingly pro-democratic struggle. That is why Auvers-Sur-Oise is of great strategic and political significance for Mojahedin. They are willing to turn it into a legalized refuge of their political struggle in Europe. In fact, they try to model Ayatollah Khomeini whose settlement in Paris suburbs was the climax of his political, anti-monarch struggle conducted from France and initiation of his Islamic regime. But there is one exception. Looking it from an impartial angle, Khomeini’s residence was open to the world to visit.

As pointed earlier and verified by many reporters visiting Auvers-Sur-Oise, it has been turned into a strategic fortress and cultic bastion guarded under strict security measures. Generally, it has to be a location for all opposition groups dissenting the present Iranian ruling and a place where people of all classes can attend freely to express their ideas and take part in collective political activities to achieve a joint objectives.

The reason why Mojahedin have established another camp in France is a matter of consideration to which France government has to pay due attention. If it is an ordinary camp of some political refugees, why it is so unusual? The fact is that despite pro-democratic and peace-seeking gesture of Mojahedin leaders, Auvers-Sur-Oise is a cultic bastion and an assembly of terrorist plotters set in the heart of Europe. It might well answer the question that why Mojahedin refrain to admit anyone to Auvers-Sur-Oise while they insistently invite their Western advocates to visit Camp Ashraf. The duality may be the ground for the West to take a closer look at the course of events therein.

US Presidential election and PMOI’s vague future

The US presidential election ended with the victory of Barak Obama. The case was largely reflected in the world due to its crucial value.

 

The change in the ruling party in the US will absolutely influence the US foreign politics but the fate of other countries won’t undergo large changes because they will try to adjust their new relations.

 

Here, only the dependent movements including MEK/PMOI might undergo unexpected changes. MKO’s vain hope on warmongers of the US and its propaganda show that this reliant movement plays no independent part in its own fate.

 

According to Masud Rajavi’s analysis, the warmonger party of the US administration should have prepared the preliminaries for military invasion to Iran so as after the overthrow of the Islamic Regime Masud Rajavi and his wife Maryam could achieve the power in Iran. This bad-omen dream shows the dependence of the cult on foreign countries rather than seeming unrealistic. 

 

In fact, the dependent political movements of Iran have two main characteristics:

 

First, the reliance on foreign support has an old history (MKO/PMOI has been supported by Saddam Hussein for three decades)

 

Second; the fate of these dependent movements is unexpected. Their fate depends on decisions made by the supporters and their agreements with the group’s enemies.

 

Today the same dangers threaten Mujahidin’s Cult, Today that the US forces in Iraq are facing a lot of problems of which one is the MKO/PMOI that was supposed to serve CIA as a “ good terrorist “ organization but the cases in Iraq make MKO’s fate ambiguous.

 

MKO’s baseless propaganda and its dramatic activities including the support of millions of Iraqi people for MKO/PMOI, or the support of Iraqi tribal leaders who are still loyal to Saddam, will not have any influence on MKO’s future.

Auver-sur-Oise

Auvers-Sur-Oise, the blind spot in the Val d’Oise

In an interview with VOA, Alireza Jafarzadeh, the diplomatic activist of MKO, released some statistics on Camp Ashraf. He raved about the number of Ashraf members as well as entertaining, educational, health, and medical centers therein. Likewise, Mojahedin-run TV is engaged in broadcasting programs on the significance of Camp Ashraf and its residents giving repeatedly cliché, inflated information on the structure and facilitations of Camp. It is evident that the demagoguery is aimed to cover the truth about what really passes within Ashraf under a cover of heavy media propaganda. However, many believe that it is a tactic through which Mojahedin attempt to distract the attention of the public opinion to effortlessly continue with their main job in Auvers-Sur-Oise quarters.

As a terrorist cult, the organization has developed sophisticated techniques to twist the mind of its listeners from among a range of sympathizers, advocates and ordinary run of people uninformed of the facts. It well recognizes the effect of propaganda in how to defend peace and freedom by appealing to patriotism, nationalism and humanitarian sentiments to continue with its violent plans.

Camp Ashraf is now considered as the mainstay of Mojahedin with regard to the practice of their cultic relations. After the Fall of Saddam in Iraq and the takeover and siege of Ashraf by the U.S. forces, Mojahedin have actually lost the opportunity of using the camp as the command center of plotting and launching over the border terrorist operations. Therefore, it has no strategic significance for the time being and has turned to be a spot merely keeping the cultic relations of the organization ongoing and intact. Now this question arises that in spite of overexposure of Camp Ashraf, why Mojahedin keep silent on releasing the least amount of information on their main quarters in France where the leaders, on whom the survival and life of the cult depend, are residing and making decisions?

Except the local residents of Auvers-sur-Oise, hardly any visitor to the calm town is conscious of a globally proscribed terrorist cult having situated its citadel there. Reported by New York Time’s correspondent Craig S. Smith going there on an arranged interview with Maryam Rajavi:

The sleepy town of Auvers-sur-Oise, 20 miles northwest of Paris, is best known as the place where van Gogh lived the last months of his life. Japanese and American tourists wander uncertainly down its main street, peering at reproductions of his paintings in front of the buildings that they portray. Few of the tourists are aware that the town is now home to an almost cult-like Iranian opposition group, some of whose members have divorced their spouses as an act of loyalty to the cause and whose armed wing is on the State Department’s list of foreign terrorist organizations. The group’s devotion to Mrs. Rajavi is so extreme that some members set themselves on fire when she was briefly detained by the French police two years ago. 1

It has to be pointed out that Auvers-Sur-Oise is not an ordinary site; on the contrary, it is well guarded by means of numerous controlling and security systems to the point that they have caught the attention of all interviewers and reporters arriving there. Almost all individuals meeting the residence of leaders and ranking Mojahedin in France unanimously focus on its complexity and high level of security. According to an Italian reporter once coming to have an interview with Massoud Rajavi:

His [Rajavi’s] dwelling in Auvers-sur-Oise, in the Parisian suburbs, is much like a fortress. There is a high wall keeping it concealed from suspicious looks. There are high voltage barbed wires around as well as searchlights on the walls illuminating the surroundings. The road to Massoud Rajavi’s villa (leadership centre) is controlled by two French check-points equipped with machine guns. The only entrance to villa is guarded by Mojahedin forces themselves. 2

Also, the Germany national broadcasting writes:

There were some impedimenta in our path to his [Rajavi’s] dwelling, 4 kms to northwestern Paris. The park therein was not well landscaped; the area was surrounded by barbed wires charged with high voltage. There were a number of French police officers at the entrance door to settle the possible disputes. 20 men always accompany Massoud Rajavi. His political assistants live outside his small fortress. 3

As noted by another Italian reporter, the main residence of the Rajavis and the highly imposed drastic security measures even for the group’s members is described as:

A place where no one (even the insiders) can enter unless fully inspected and under highly control measures. 4

The use of controlling systems fails to be productive in itself; however, the act of Mojahedin in misusing the facilities provided for them by the West is a matter of consideration. They make attempt to abuse these facilities for the achievement of their cultic and terrorist objectives and according to D.S.T report, they have established another cultic-terrorist haunt in France. The western political analysts have come to the point that ‘the Rajavis misuse the surprising laxity of the European governments by living in Auvers-Sur-Oise luxuriously for many years.’

There are evidences that Auvers-Sur-Oise is known at the present to have become the main strategic base for Mojahedin and they abuse it in different ways in order to pursue the totalitarian objectives. According to D.S.T report:  

We have been able to identify numerous PMOI members recruited and housed in France, making regular trips to Iraq… They also follow several different routes to Iraq: passing through Jordan, Egypt, or Turkey. They make their connections through different European countries, such as Belgium and the Netherlands… Once in Iraq, the militants undergo various levels of political and military training. The NLAI fighters coming from Iraq regularly visit PMOI HQ in Auvers-sur-Oise, while veteran soldiers are installed in France and remain continuously active in promoting the organization. 5

In addition, a fact is acknowledged that Mojahedin aim to establish another Camp Ashraf in the Europe:

The Mojahedin’s aim was to move their "world operational centre" -previously based in Baghdad -to the Val d’Oise. 6

Interestingly, Mojahedin broadcast the majority of their television programs from Camp Ashraf and refrain to give any information about Auvers-Sur-Oise while almost all their political contacts and activities are conducted from the HQs there. It is much surprising that at a time when Mojahedin petition the West to remove their name from the terrorist list, what really panics them to let a free entrance into their dwelling. What is really different about Camp Ashraf and the camp in Auvers-Sur-Oise with the former being the focus of the media and propaganda while the latter remains off the air.

Mujahedin Khalq 's Function

Terrorist, Mercenary, Spy…

“National Council of Resistance is a branch of Mujahedin-e-Khalq which is listed as a terrorist group in US and EU. Mujahedin were Saddam’s mercenary during the 1980s when they launched cross border attacks against Iran. NCR is proud of having denounced Iran clandestine nuclear facilities in Natans. Though, according to a report by the expertise journal Nuclear Fuel in December 2002, IAEA has already been completely aware of those facilities.”

Extracted from the report published in the Austrian newspaper “Die Presse” on 10/24/08, relating the press conference held by MKO, meanwhile the seasonal meetings of IAEA council.

Mujahedin-e-Khalq must believe that the world has achieved a unified description of them, having recorded them as terrorist, cultist, mercenary and spy. The MEK should pay the price of this changed description by their own nature and it is definitely obvious that the cults don’t shoot their own nature and the world has basically accepted that spying, warmongering and terrorism are rooted from the cult-like nature of MEK. 

All treasons committed by Mujahedin take their roots from their cult-like practices. Which Iranian is willing to tie his fate with a criminal dictator like Saddam Hussein? Or is proud of submitting the nuclear information of his own country to foreigners? And shouts proudly that “we have denounced Iran!” all those are justified by a manipulated mind. This is a matter that is responded by psychology: the cults have no will.  

“MEK has long been considered as the most important spying network in Iran but today they seem to have a very weak operational power. “

Figaro 10/26/2008

It is not an accident that everyone believes in MKO as spies and implicitly states that they are an ended movement. This is a reality that was proved following the fall of Saddam Hussein. But the MEK are trying to survive as long as possible by their false propaganda.

Hatred towards the Mojahedin Terrorists

Hatred towards the Mojahedin Terrorists is an indication of close ties between the people of Iran and Iraq

In a meeting with a number of Iraqi cultural figures as well as academicians in Tehran on Monday, Ayatollah Hashemi Rafsanjani said, "From the start of the US and other occupiers’ invasion of Iraq, we described the military campaign as a ‘quandary.’ Now, years after the assault, the occupiers are in reality mired in Iraq’s quagmire."

"Colonial acceptance has no place in Muslim states particularly in Iraq and Afghanistan and if the occupiers seek to linger in these two countries under any pretext, they should satisfy public demands," he added.

According to Press TV, the Chairman of Iran’s Expediency Council meanwhile termed the Iraqi nation as prudent and resistant, adding that the high turnout of Iraqis at the parliamentary elections was a true representative of their commitment to Islamic values.

He noted that Tehran calls for Iraq’s perseverance of territorial integrity as well as the establishment of stability and tranquility in the war-torn country.

Hashemi Rafsanjani meanwhile called on Iraqi scholars and academician to seal a bright future for their country through teaching and training Iraqi students.

The Ayatollah also referred to the Iranian and Iraqi nations’ hatred towards the terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) as an indication of close ties and feelings between the officials and people of the two countries.

The MKO, whose main stronghold is in Iraq, is blacklisted by much of the international community, including the United States.

The MKO is on the European Union’s list of terrorist organizations subject to an EU-wide assets freeze, and has been designated by the US government as a foreign terrorist organization. Yet, the MKO puppet leader, Maryam Rajavi, who has residency in France, regularly visits Brussels and despite the ban enjoys full freedom in Europe.

The MKO is behind a slew of assassinations and bombings inside Iran, a number of EU parliamentarians said in a recent letter in which they slammed a British court decision to remove the MKO from the British terror list. The EU officials also added that the group has no public support within Iran because of their role in helping Saddam Hussein in the Iraqi imposed war on Iran (1980-1988).

A May 2005 Human Rights Watch report accused the MKO of running prison camps in Iraq and committing human rights violations.

According to Human Rights Watch report, the outlawed group puts defectors under torture and jail terms.

The group, founded in the 1960s, blended elements of Islamism and Stalinism and participated in the overthrow of the US-backed Shah of Iran in 1979. Ahead of the revolution, the MKO conducted attacks and assassinations against both Iranian and Western targets.

Leaders of the group have been fighting to shed its terrorist tag after a series of bloody anti-Western attacks in the 1970s, and nearly 30 years of violent struggle against the Islamic Republic of Iran.

The group started assassination of the citizens and officials after the revolution in a bid to take control of the newly established Islamic Republic. It killed several of Iran’s new leaders in the early years after the revolution, including the then President, Mohammad Ali Rajayee, Prime Minister, Mohammad Javad Bahonar and the Judiciary Chief, Mohammad Hossein Beheshti who was killed in bomb attacks by MKO members in 1981.

The group fled to Iraq in 1986, where it was protected by Saddam Hussein and where it helped the Iraqi dictator suppress Shiite and Kurd uprisings in the country.

The terrorist group joined Saddam’s army during the Iraqi imposed war on Iran (1980-1988) and helped Saddam and killed thousands of Iranian civilians and soldiers during the US-backed Iraqi imposed war on Iran.

Since the 2003 US invasion of Iraq, the group, which now adheres to a pro-free-market philosophy, has been strongly backed by neo-conservatives in the United States, who also argue for the MKO to be taken off the US terror list.

The MKO has been in Iraq’s Diyala province since the 1980s. – FNA

Massoud Rajavi

Rajavi’s lingering promise

It has been assumed that the US presidential election might bring about dramatic effects on the final destiny of Mojahedin. In this regard, Masoud Rajavi and his theoretician in shadow, Bijan Niyabati, have made false predictions about the occurrence of fundamental changes in the Middle East turning it to the Great Middle East under the control of the US. They have also taken it for granted that there would be a fateful decision making on the US policy in dealing with the Iranian government. However, contrary to their naïve remarks, there appeared faint traces of Iran-U.S relevant détente.   

Here we avoid reflecting upon the foolish delusions of Mojahedin leadership, as it is a common practice committed in MKO. However, keeping silent on the fantastic and simplistic views of Masoud Rajavi is highly favored by Mojahedin at the time being so as to conceal their low level of political awareness. 

It has to be pointed out that the main strategy of Mojahedin leadership in recent years has been grabbing hold of empty promises to keep on his illegitimate hold over the body and soul of a number of deceived and ill-fated individuals. Two years ago, Rajavi promised to make the grounds for the overthrow of the Iranian regime up to the U.S presidential election; otherwise, members would be free to either remain in Camp Ashraf (dwelling of Mojahedin rank-and-files in Iraqi soil) or quit the organization. Now the countdown reaching the zero, Mojahedin members, advocates, and sympathizer are expected to bring into question Rajavi’s last unfulfilled promise and make a just analysis of his rhetoric the true nature of his cultic and totalitarian leadership.  

At the time being, Rajavi would certainly seek another excuse at least to keep his control over the remnants of his cult. He is well aware of his lack of the least social support inside Iran due to his disloyalty to his own country in cooperating with Saddam in invading the Iranian soil in 1980s. Also, he has encountered an impasse in Iraq pretending to stop armed warfare. Being blacklisted as a terrorist organization is another challenge worsening the state of affairs for Rajavi. A strong reaction to the present critical conditions is expected of him by those familiar with his manner of conduct. It may be an imminent statement or a message issued by him.     

What is of interest here is speculating the content of Rajavi’s forthcoming message.  The justifications he would give as for the reasons why he has been wrong in his predictions once more is of no importance since they are the result of a psychopathic personality that grabs at cultic, brainwashing techniques and thought reform to lead the organization that is no more considered a political but notorious terrorist cult having secured a position among global terrorists. Therefore, we are more concerned with the new plot he has contrived to distract the world’s attention away from his last blunder. The removal of the name of the organization from terrorist list of the EU seems to be the focus of his next message.     

Despite anti-imperialist and anti-American nature of MKO reflected in its principles and creeds, as well as its assassination of American employees and military personnel and its active participation in the US Embassy hostage-taking crisis, Rajavi’s new remedy to pass over the critical situation has proved to be the White House. Maybe he intended to lead the way of the new president to achieve his political objective and make his way of assuming political power in Iran. He may also be under the illusion that once “imperialist and enemy’s of the nations” proceeds to recognize it as an alternative. In any case, many are still laughing at his naïve remarks while others are waiting to see how he will let his followers free to choose their own destiny now that the time has drawn to its limit.
