MKO’s Role in Saddam Massacres Should be Exposed

The court of former Iraqi regime’s crimes, now being held without the presence of Saddam Hussein, exposes important issues one of which is the decision of former Iraqi dictator to exterminate the Kurds with all possible means.

In the court, it was revealed that the order for massacring the Kurds by chemical weapons was issued personally by Saddam Hussein and suggested by Ali Hassan Al-Majid and consequently criminal officials of former regime committed the crimes in Halabja.

Meanwhile, what are very important are Chemical Ali’s comments on using the MKO for pursuing and targeting the Kurds (even inside Iran).

Earlier also, with the exposure of Rajavi’s secret talks with then the head of Iraqi Intelligence Service lieutenant general Taher, in which MKO forces’ participation in killing the Kurds was praised on behalf of Saddam, the role of the group in massacring the Kurds had been revealed.

In addition to the issue of MKO’s role in killing the Kurds- which has been proved with a lot of documents- what’s new in Chemical Ali’s comments and reveals new facts on MKO-Saddam ties, is the reality that this group acted as a private army for Saddam Hussein and that Iraqi officials considered the roles of the MKO when planning.

In this regard, Chemical Ali clarifies that MKO forces were tasked with pursuing and targeting the Kurds inside Iran.

The new government of Iraq and those in charge of holding the court should expose more of documents on cooperation between the MKO and Saddam Hussein in order to illuminate the public opinion and prevent distortion of historical facts by the leaders of the group.

By clarifying the dimensions of such crimes the efforts of MKO leaders to seek refuge in Iraq will fail and the main reasons of their presence in the country will be determined.

MKO’s Invalid Claims

In response to soft and humane comments by Iraqi government spokesman, who had asked for direct and private talks with MKO members kept captive in Camp Ashraf, terrorist MKO acted violently and threatened the spokesman to file suit against him.

Earlier also, through its lawyers, the MKO had threatened Iraqi ambassador to Iran but when he stressed his position and that of his government, calling such moves by the MKO as unimportant and illegal, it was proved that such threats do not work for Iraqi officials and that these acts, as psychological threats against Iraqi officials, are invalid.

However, what has made the MKO leaders so upset that they have been forced to come to the scene violently is nothing but the fact that Mr. Al-Dabbagh has pointed to a clear reality: MKO leaders prevent the members from talking directly to the government of Iraq and that they don’t allow their members to choose freely.

Mr. Al-Dabbagh states that the Iranian government has promised to forgive the MKO members, while the MKO threatens its members to prevent them from leaving the group.

In response, the MKO have resorted to refugee principles and the rights of the group in the framework of 4th Geneva Convention and , while ignoring the fact that these rights apply to individual members in Camp Ashraf. By abusing these rights, the MKO is trying to guarantee its political and organizational interest of its terrorist cult and its leader (Massoud Rajavi).

MKO leaders should be notified that when they refuse Iran’s issued pardon and don’t quit interfering in issues not related to them, they should stop censorship in the Camp to see how the members use their rights.

The example of Iraqi government’s idea can be seen in the return of Mr. Mehdi Shah Karami of which the Gestapo of Ashraf is fully aware. And there’s no need to say that the noise made by MKO’s European spokesperson are only aimed at creating a psychological war against the MKO members.

Ali Reza Jafarzade

No Revolution in the Horizon

Alireza Jafarzadeh, member and spokesman of terrorist MKO, acting as Middle East analyst who’s serving Israelis’ lobby in Warmongers’ TV channel, suggested to Bush’s government in an interview with CNN to use the terrorist group of Mojahedin-e Khalq instead of attacking Iran.*

Jafarzadeh and leaders of the cult (of Rajavi), who have created this theory to impose the group on the US, know it’s really sarcastic and that’s why they speak of so-called "popular protests" and "explosive situation"!

For years, the MKO has repeated contradictory claims on the internal situation of Iran in order to receive advantages from the West, and the US in particular. Now, these claims have become so unbearable that even CNN’s presenter turns on Jafarzadeh asking him: "what internal situation are you talking about?"

In response to Jafarzadeh’s request from the West to put pressure on Iran and focus on internal situation, CNN’s Lou Dobbs asks:

"We have heard these things for years that there’s dissatisfaction. That there was opposition to Ayatollah Khomeini. Then there was Khatami. Then they said that Ahmadinejad has come to help the regime because the regime is facing pro-democracy youths and so on. Don’t you think these are all only rhetoric?"

(In this question, Dobbs questions Rajavi’s analyses and makes them invalid)

Jafarzadeh, unable to answer the questions in a meaningful manner, resorted to a stupid comparison (that has been repeated by the MKO for 25 years) and said: "We saw that Shah, with all military power and after 37 years of ruling the country, was eventually toppled by Iranians. There is a limitation for dictatorship."

Dobbs had a stronger answer: "I’m not anyone to question the will of any nation’s people. But I’m confused why there’s no sign of this opposition to state Islamic radicalism and why it’s not negated."

Jafarzadeh tried to introduce the protests to the Iranian President as a sign of revolution, saying: "Ahmadinejad is being negated widely. When he was speaking last month in Amirkabir University, students protested to him despite the pressure by Revolutionary Guards Corps and practically forced Ahmadinejad out of the auditorium."

In the end, using a very simple example, Lou Dobbs showed how discredited MKO analyses on Iran and Iranian are: "I tell you that in this very country, when you hear the name of George Bush in a University you think a revolution is going to take place"!

This short interview proves that Rajavi’s current policy is not useful and that the US needs a group or solution that can resolve its problems in practice.

refore, even if the MKO succeeds to impose itself on a Zionist or American party, it would be the beginning of being exposed and discredited.

Sad News for the Cult

While the stupid propaganda system of Mojahedin has focused on warmongering and repeating the confused policies of Bush to deploy more troops to Iraq and threatening other countries, the reports published around the world represent the image of opposition to US’s fascist warmongering policies; of course, the cult of Rajavi censors all such reports so as to prevent them from being heard by its desperate members.

Tom Lantos, the head of Senate’s Foreign Relations Committee said on Wednesday, Jan. 17, that he’s ready to go to Iran along with a delegation.

Speaking in Foreign Relations Committee, Tom Lantos, Dem. From California, added that Iranian officials have so far refused to issue visas for Congressmen.

He also added that Americans should also be blamed for obstructing the process of talks to the US.

"I’m ready to take a delegation from Foreign Relations Committee to Tehran at any time in order to talk on all issues without conditions," he said.

Madlin Albright, former US Secretary of State during the presidency of Clinton, who was also in the meeting, said: "The US should sit to talk with Iran without any conditions". (1)

"By preparing a draft resolution that will be put to voting next week, three senior Senators protested to Bush’s policy of deploying plus 20000 more troops to Iraq and said that it was not good for national interest of the country.

Chuck Higel, along with influential congressmen Karl Levin and Josef Biden, announced in a press conference that their resolution is aimed at convincing the president to give the duty of establishing security and stability to Iraqis themselves instead of increasing the number of US troops". (2)

"Opposition to the war in Iraq has extended to US troops so that 1085 soldiers have initiated "War Against War" campaign.

The more it passes, the more the number of anti-war US troops becomes. They say that the war was both wrong and futile. They also want to use legal ways available to make their protests public." (3)

Since the MKO leaders believe in another war for the survival of the group, and since they have already started supporting military clashes between the US and Iran (they have put their members in Camp Ashraf in "ready" situation), therefore they censor all reports on moves against US policies."

However, since the remnants of Rajavi want to convince the members in Camp Ashraf that "Americans have gotten their message and are following them"!, and regarding the facts above, it should be said that "opposition to war and Zionist policies of Neocons is increasing and also, those who support unconditional talks with Iran (called by MKO as "compromisers) have formed a stronger front and declare this policy louder than ever before.

Former members of the MEK

An Unexpect Trip Disarrays the MEK Headquarters

The trip of Ms. Fariba Hashtroodi* to Iran and her meeting with the representatives of Habilian Association and Mr. Ibrahim Khodabandeh has overwhelmed MKO members and leaders in their headquarters in France.

People close the MKO report of disappointment of members of this organization, particularly the members of Council.

That’s why the MKO has made so much noise by its forces- through taking position against Ms. Hashtroodi.

In recent months, the cases on defection of several MKO supporters and old sympathizers as well as MKO members and their departure from Auvers have been on Maryam Rajavi’s desk.

The issue of the European-based MKO members’ differences with the group has forced the Gestapo of this terrorist organization to take measures to control the situation; however, Ms. Hashtroodi’s trip to Iran thwarted these measures and accelerated the process of defection so that some people have left the Camp in Auvers in recent days.

In the process of defection, most of focus is on the situation in Camp Ashraf, since the MKO officials there in the Camp are watching the members individually to prevent them from going to the US-run Camp (TIPF). However, the situation in Auvers is not better than that of Ashraf, especially now that MKO leaders are not able to send dissidents to Iraq to control them in better way.

Iranian People Don’t Want MEK says Thomas Pickering

Iranian People Don’t Want MEK says Thomas Pickering in US Foreign Affairs Committee Hearing

 WITNESSES: THOMAS PICKERING, FORMER UNDERSECRETARY OF STATE FOR POLITICAL AFFAIRS

FORMER CIA DIRECTOR JAMES WOOLSEY

Extract…

REP. TOM TANCREDO, R-COLO: It is just that, sir, and thank you.

Let me go from the strategic to the tactical in terms of the framework for our discussion here, both because of the time constraints and also because I think so much has been gained by the discussion to this point in time.

We’ve talked about the fact that the people in seem to be interested in regime change themselves. I think you put it, If the mullahs hate us as much as they seem to, then there must be something good about us, is the way many Iraqi people — I mean the Iranians — are looking at the situation today.

So if that is the case, then I hearken back to the situation we have with the MEK. And I wonder about whether or not it would not be in our best interest to take them off of the terrorist watch list, as they are certainly hated by the mullahs. And that is the one thing about which we are sure with regard to the MEK.

There are lots of, you know, gray areas, murky areas in the past, things we’re not positive about in terms of their responsibility for certain actions 30 years ago. But in the last couple of decades, anyway, it seems to me that it is pretty clear that they are, as a political — they are certainly not much of a military force, but a political force — and they may not even be that to any great extent. But to the extent that they are operating as a group of people who are articulating an opposition to the present regime, they understand the culture. They understand the language.

We are protecting them in Camp Ashraf . Here’s a group of people who are, in fact, on the terrorist watch list that we are protecting. Our troops are protecting them.

Wouldn’t it be to our advantage to somehow use these folks in pursuit of our goals? And in order to do that, wouldn’t it require their removal from that list?

LANTOS: Ambassador Pickering?

PICKERING : Yes, certainly. I’d be happy to answer the question. I think that the question is premised on the Middle East fundamental proposition, "The enemy of the enemy is my friend."

My view is that the MEK doesn’t represent the kind of government we would like to see in their past actions — and they’re all documented fairly well — in . To me, it would be a bigger burden.

And if the Iranian people knew what MEK had been doing in terms of its own activities and the way it behaved, particularly towards its own people, I think they, too, would see that as a negative rather than a positive.

LANTOS: Ambassador Woolsey?

WOOLSEY: I agree with Tom. Everybody is using Churchill quotes today, one of my favorite is, "If Hitler invaded hell, I should find a kind word to say for the devil."

(LAUGHTER)

And there’s a side of me that is tempted to cast about for anybody when can cause trouble for the Iranian regime. But I do think their being on the terrorist watch list at this point is a bar. And if somebody wants to look into the facts of all that and the history of it and exactly what they did and so on, it might be a useful review for someone to do. But I never have done it and I don’t know how it would come out. –HOUSE COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN AFFAIRS HEARING ON THE NEXT STEPS IN THE CRISIS

US’s New Strategy and MKO’s Position

It seems that the early slogans of US warmongers on the spread of democracy in the Middle East is an issue even the US’s failed politicians are too tired to repeat in their speeches.

Drawing a goal as "spread of democracy" was from the beginning a hollow slogan and what was important for Neocons was to impose US’s hegemony on region’s country and people and to get the oil resources. That’s why this goal is followed by deploying more US troops and threatening the countries of the region, and not by respecting the will of majority of Iraqis (who ask for the exit of occupiers).Warmongers’ obstinate competition with democrats, now representing the Americans’ requests on US’s foreign policy (particularly putting and end to the war), is another factor for the insistence of Bush’s team on killing Iraqis and others in the region.

Warmongers are well aware they have totally failed and that changing the strategy can’t help them. While experts had suggested their ideas on different solutions, warmongers still stress the spread of violence only to satisfy their hatreds.

In this way, they have resorted to the policy of creating tension between Arabs-Persians and Shiite-Sunnis to take advantage of the situation.

Their reliance on such a policy, with its whole negative consequences for the people of region, means "committing suicide" and getting more entangled in the quagmire. This will also intensify negative reactions in US’s domestic political scene.

US’s new approach, which will certainly be accompanied by more bloodshed and violence in Iraq and the region, would be welcomed only by anti-Islamic and anti-human movements whose lives are tied to setting up the fire of war and US invasions against other countries.

Among those who will welcome this are Israel and its followers in the region (those who, like warmongers, claimed of spreading democracy); failed from achieving their goals by the slogan of peace, they are in dire need for such policy by the US.

The terrorist group of MKO should also be included in this group. Lacking a clear strategy and surviving only by the support of Saddam Hussein, this group is now facing the strong opposition by Iraqi government and people and is also at the threshold of being deported from Iraq.

Believing only in bloodshed and violence and weakening the government of Iraq as the only ways to survive, Rajavi’s cult hopes it would be used by warmongers as an influential force.

It doesn’t seem the warmongers (who see the best solution as deploying 21000 troops) are interested in using 3000 desperate members of MKO who’ve been disarmed by the Americans themselves. However, if the warmongers are stupid enough to use bankrupt forces of Rajavi, it will be proved that Rajavi’s murderous gang is unable to do anything and that part of US forces should take care of these people. This has been proved during past 20 years when Saddam was taking care of the group.

Apart from this reality, what’s important and should be paid attention by MKO members and supporters is MKO’s recent stance, which exposes the depth of this group’s crimes.

Now, it can be said that Mojahedin-e Khalq is proudly paving the way for policies of the most hated parties of Imperialism all over the world the crimes of whom are known to everyone.

Today, another black page should be added to the treacherous records of this group- after cooperating with Saddam against Iranians. The crimes of the cult will never help the group survive but it will add more problems for the group.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization's Propaganda System

Warmongering, the Peak of Rajavi’s Political Retardedness

Terrorist group of MKO gathered its British supporters in London in a meeting called "Iranian Fundamentalism, A Growing Threat".

In the meeting, MKO’s traditional supporters spoke in favor of MKO policies which made their speeches repetitious, hollow and clichéd. Their speeches showed how unaware they were [of the nature of MKO], people who have been supporting the group for more than 2 decades!

What was amazing in the meeting was that MKO’s tactics ruled the comments of participants.

Participants, opposing to the Baker-Hamilton report, asked George Bush and Tony Blair to return to their previous positions and not to follow this commission’s proposals for solving Iraqi problems.

They criticized the U.S. government that "it has not understood the conflicts of the Middle East"; they particularly were opposing to suggestions that the U.S. should talk to Iraq neighbors, especially with Iran!

Participants repeatedly warned the U.S. and Britain to "try their best in standing against Iran"!*

MKO’s insistence on military invasion on Iran and its opposition to Baker-Hamilton, along with Zionist lobby in the U.S. (which recently turned out to be the main group encouraging Neocons to attack Iran), is the main tactic of MKO against Iran.

In Iraq, MKO first acted cautiously in condemning Saddam execution but later, when it recognized that Ba’ath party and its supporters in some countries try to use Saddam execution as a tool for weakening Maliki’s government and for preserving tension in Iraq, it started praising Saddam as the "hero of Arabs" as if the group had not been following U.S. policies.

Evidence on MKO show that the group has moved along the lines of Ba’athists so much that it is officially promoting Salafi’s ideas (about killing Shiites)- which is undoubtedly spread by Israel and Britain.

The fact is that, for the time being, with MKO’s commitment to radicalism and murder as the ways of achieving it policies, the group can’t take any other option. Fortunately, it can be said that the public opinion, not only in the U.S. and Britain but also in the world, has concluded that U.S.’s policies in Iraq have been wrong and that they should be corrected. Evidences also indicate that even American officials have accepted this fact.

On the other hand, Iraq’s current government has gotten more strength with the execution of Saddam. It showed that it wouldn’t be surrendered to pressures and plots of Ba’athists, Al-Qaeda and their supporters.

So, holding such meetings by the MKO will have no outcomes. Such moves expose MKO’s retardedness and its desperation in taking such positions.

The Stain of Supporting Saddam

The murderous gang of Rajavi condemned the hanging of its major supporter- whom they called "spiritual father"- and since his crimes were so high that even this murderous gang can’t openly support him, they claimed the history will judge this issue!

With the exposure of Saddam’s plans for massacring Kurds, which is only one of numerous horrible crimes of this man, all those who supported him found themselves labeled as supporters of massacring and "crimes against humanity".

What was admonitory was about the fate of opportunist gang of Rajavi, which was trying (with the assistance of Saddam’s lawyers) to accuse Iran in order to divert the case of murdering 180000 Iraqi Kurds.

Last year, Saddam’s French lawyer Emanuel Lodeux falsely quoted Iran’s ambassador to France that Iran was going to blame the MKO for Halabja bombing! (the operation the MKO was not capable of performing, even if ordered to do).

Following the complaints of former Iranian ambassador to France, this lawyer and a number of Saddam’s lawyers repeated this lie this time quoting it falsely from Iranian embassy in Jordan.

After Saddam execution and the noise Baathists and his supporters made, Khalil al-Dulaimi, the head of Saddam’s lawyers team, repeated the lies.

However, now that undeniable evidences on Chemical Ali’s case have been presented- which show that Saddam mocks the world’s response to killing the Kurds by Chemical weapons, the world knows how inhumane Saddam and his supporters are.

The gang of Rajavi was trying during past 3 years to disassociate itself from Saddam and claimed of being independent. However, following the execution of former dictator, they acted in line with Baathists’ policies to spread propaganda against Iran.

Thinking that after Saddam no one will investigate their crimes and understanding the colonial policies of the occupiers to stoke the fire between Shiites-Sunnis on one hand and Arabs-Persians on the other, MKO came to the scene with full power and devoted its satellite TV channel as well as internet websites to praising Saddam Hussein the murderer. They had closed their eyes on all Saddam’s crimes including the massacre of 250000 Iranians, 10000 Shiites and Sunnis and inflicting thousands of billions of dollars of damages to the people of region. But now that the plan for exterminating Kurds has been exposed, they should come and reveal their real nature.

Yesterday, newswires (quoting Reuters from the court of Saddam’s associates) reported about the exposure of documents on Saddam’s plans to exterminate Kurds with chemical weapons. The report said:

Saddam Hussein and his cousin "Chemical Ali" discussed killing thousands with chemical weapons before unleashing them on Kurds in 1988, according to tapes played on Monday in a trial of former Iraqi officials.

"I will strike them with chemical weapons and kill them all," a voice identified by prosecutors as that of Majeed, Saddam’s cousin and a senior aide, is heard saying.

"Who is going to say anything? The international community? A curse on the international community!" the voice continued.

"Yes, it’s effective, especially on those who don’t wear a mask immediately, as we understand," another voice, identified as that of Saddam, is heard saying on another tape.

"Sir, does it exterminate thousands?" a voice asks back.

Prosecutors said 180,000 people were killed, many of them gassed. Chief prosecutor Munqith al-Faroon also played on Monday video showing women and children lying dead on village streets and mountain slopes after what he said was a chemical attack ordered by Saddam.

Opposition Groups Don’t Care about Rajavi

In response to repetition of slogans on "unity" by Rajavi, Didgah website expressed ideas which received some reactions. These reactions show that the gang of Rajavi is not accepted even among opposition groups.

Ali Nazer, director of Didgah website, childishly insists that the unity among opposition groups is an important issue for the MKO. "Why the MKO doesn’t call for unity? Is it harder than getting the support of a British or American representative?" he asks.

According to the self-conceit of MKO, he asks them:

"Isn’t it true that Massoud Rajavi, in his first message, addressed all those who share the same ideas on Republic, Democracy and the rule of Iranians? Isn’t it true that Mojahedin believe that Massoud Rajavi is their ideological leader? Then, why his particular request has not been answered? Why all MKO members and supporters, who are ready to give their lives for Massoud and Maryam even by self-immolation, have remained silence on this request? Why the MKO allowed the failure of "National Unity Project"?

Some people ask what if an organization or a political group doesn’t want to unite. I say, "Some senators didn’t want to support the MKO at first. It was the efforts of the MKO that led to their support for the group. The only major and positive difference is that in National Unity Project, Mojahedin don’t want and need not to expect others to support them but they want others to unite and form a common platform and front. In this front, no one necessarily supports nobody, but they make alliance to overthrow the enemy."

Ali Nazer intentionally deceives himself and ignores the fact that Iranian now know all MKO’s lies and that the MKO can only deceive those who are not familiar with Iran’s issues; those who don’t know the terrorist nature of the group well and support the group only for their own interests.

Then, Nazer turns to Mehdi Abrishamchi and addresses him as follows:

"I write this letter to you the chief of NCRI’s Peace Commission as an Iranian who has never had an organizational contact with the NCRI. Peace is not necessarily always made with an enemy; sometimes you have to make peace with a friend. Maybe it’s time for NCRI to initiate efforts for forming a commission (reconciliation commission, for instance) out of the NCRI, in which opponents, critics, and sympathizers can get together in order to form a broader front. There’s no doubt that the formation of such a commission will be very difficult since it’s really hard to forget all differences of these past 27 years. This needs sacrifice and patience. If we can’t form such a commission today, how will be able to sit beside each other in future’s parliament? How do you- who promise of a "democratic alternative"- want to solve the deep problems of forces, groups and individuals?"

Then, Nazer offers a list of people who can be invited to such commission by the MKO. He names people like Sadr Haj Seyed Javadi, Lahiji and others who left out the organization several years ago and now know the undemocratic nature of the group very well.

One of the people named by Nazer is Taghi Roozbeh who responds to this suggestion as follows:

"Overthrowing the regime for the sake of a democratic change requires a proportionate arrangement. Believing in overthrowing the regime is only a criterion gathering around which and ignoring other democratic facts means recreation of this hell we’re living in. This should be done in a way where there’s no place for dictators and other new administrators, such as Mojahedin and Imperialism who want to take advantage of public dissatisfaction and …finally, I should say that apart from above guidelines, all my familiarity with this group and its leaders, my experiences with them in prisons, during the revolution and their presence in Iraq and their ties with imperialist powers convince me not to cooperate with these people."

Many of these people and groups who are well aware of lack of popularity talk of the necessity of unity among forces who seek overthrow. Meanwhile, MKO is totally dependent on the western countries particularly the US in order to get something.
