MEK former members rally in Paris demanding the end of hostage taking of MKO Cult leaders in Iraq.
Zahra Sadat Mirbagheri and Hamed Sarrafpour, former leading MEK members, were married in Iran in October.Members of the MEK Cult are deprived by the cult leaders of their most basic rights such as marriage, having child, maternal love and family life as they contradics the Cult’s so called ideology.
The war on terror declared by the United States on September 11 only made international terrorist groups stronger and even made them come to power in some countries. Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria became 
victims of US anti-terror fight.
Today, the United States is seen globally as the main supporter of terrorists. The «Western foreign legion» represented by terrorists allows the United States to achieve a number of objectives, including weakening the chief competitors – Russia and China.
The myth of «fight against terrorism» creates a pretext for United States intervention against any other state having accused it of supporting terrorists. At that, the critical state of US economy makes international terrorism an effective instrument of intimidating Americans and introducing police state.
Like many other terrorist groups the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (the MKO) has been preserved by the United States and Israel to be used as a proxy force against the Islamic Republic. “Some Western backers believe the group serves as a strategic counterweight to the clerical regime in Iran,” states Jonathan Masters, Deputy Editor of Council on Foreign Relations. However, he mentions that critics of the MKO question the group’s motives and commitment to nonviolence and human rights.
Jonathan Masters asserts that even State Department noted some “reservations” upon delisting the MKO in September 2012. "With today’s actions, the Department does not overlook or forget the MEK’s past acts of terrorism…The Department also has serious concerns about the MEK as an organization, particularly with regard to allegations of abuse committed against its own members, " he quotes from the State Department’s statement to announce the removal of the group from the black list in 2012.
Meanwhile Antony Cartalucci, a geopolitical researcher and writer based in Bangkok, Thailand, warns about “color revolutions” engineered by the United States to overthrow governments around the world. He suggests that attempts to escalate chaos and provoke or perpetuate violence is generally the next step after the alleged revolutions. Cartalucci believes that the chaos in Hong Kong is an example of US intervention in the world politics.
To prove his idea he refers to a “documented fact”. “It was the 2009 Brookings Institution document titled, “Which Path to Persia?” that stated unequivocally in regards to toppling the government of Iran”, he writes. “The policy document would also openly conspire to fund and arm listed terrorist organizations including the notorious Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK)’’.
The document introduces the MKO as a proxy force to overthrow the Islamic Republic: “The United States could work with groups like the Iraq-based National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) and its military wing, the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK), helping the thousands of its members who, under Saddam Husayn’s regime, were armed and had conducted guerrilla and terrorist operations against the clerical regime. Although the NCRI is supposedly disarmed today, that could quickly be changed.”
According to the theory suggested in “Which path to Persia” the MKO does deserve the label of a terrorist group but its capacity to be the US mercenary shouldn’t be ignored! Cartalucci proposes that the Brookings Institution’s report is a “signed confession – a documented conspiracy that was demonstrably executed not only in Iran but also in neighboring Syria”. Notice what the report reads: “Undeniably, the group has conducted terrorist attacks—often excused by the MEK’s advocates because they are directed against the Iranian government. For example, in 1981, the group bombed the headquarters of the Islamic Republic Party, which was then the clerical leadership’s main political organization, killing an estimated 70 senior officials. More recently, the group has claimed credit for over a dozen mortar attacks, assassinations, and other assaults on Iranian civilian and military targets between 1998 and 2001. At the very least, to work more closely with the group (at least in an overt manner), Washington would need to remove it from the list of foreign terrorist organizations.” And Washington finally removed it from the FTO list two years ago.”
Nevertheless, The US support for the MKO does not seem to be productive for both the MKO and the US because of the group’s lack of popular backing in Iran. Cartalucci asserts that the West’s “mystery gunmen” are found in Iraqi Camp liberty, Libya and Syria, Egypt, Ukraine, Thailand and now Hong Kong. As a matter of fact, he should notice that the same pattern probably cannot be operative in case of the MKO because the majority of Iranian nation do not care about the MKO if they do not detest it.

From Stealing Flowers to Sexual Abuses
The reports and documents published on the MKO camps, demonstrate that morality has been deleted from the group’s internal relations.
Morality is defined as a particular system of values and principals of conduct, especially one held by a specified person or society. It gives the person or society the extent to which an action is right or wrong. In a moral-based society people obey moral and human values including helping others, offering sympathy to others, being honest, being polite… These do’s and don’ts are less or more practiced and respected in normal societies.
Nonetheless, in the Cult of Rajavi (the MKO) from the peak of the cult’s hierarchy – where Massoud Rajavi stands – moral values have been violated and even confused with immoral values.
For instance, marriage, maternal love, family life are regarded by the MKO leaders as counter values. In turn, polygamy, treason and divorce –that are usually considered as counter values– are recommended values in the Cult of Rajavi. The leader of the MKO is able to marry as many wives as he wants – up to the number of the Cult’s Elite Council, about 600 women. He can sleep with all of them while male members of the group are not allowed to marry or even to think of the opposite sex otherwise they are humiliated and punished by the cult system. Not only polygamy is considered a value but also dishonesty of the cult leader is viewed as an ordinary.
The most recent case of immoral acts in the MKO was covered by French media. Last week, French newspaper Le Figaro reported that plant pots decorating graves in a cemetery in Auver Sur d’Oise were found in the MKO base. “The 59 year old widow followed the path of the plant on her computer. Imagine her surprise to find that the floating plant came to rest in the premises of the NCRI, based in Auvers since 1980,” reported Le Figaro. The French newspaper also reported that besides the hydrangeas other plants were found that might have been stolen from other graves in the cemetery, where such disappearances have intensified over the past year despite the precautions taken by the municipality.
The news of the new Rajavi’s scandal was widely covered by former members of the cult. It was followed by numerous cases of memoirs and experiences of former members about stealing objects for the group. Former senior interpreter of the MKO, Ghorban Ali Hossein Nejad recited that stealing goods was called “Liberating” in the MKO.
He believes that robberies by cult members should be measured as “ideological” because they are indoctrinated by Massoud and Maryam Rajavi and their Machiavellian ideas that justify every means to get the goal.
In ex-members memos and evidences you read about all sorts of stolen items from Iraqi tanks and artilleries for the MKO army to suits and ties for the group’s gatherings. The whole stories indicate the awful decline in values in the cult of Rajavi. Defectors recall that at that time they were proud of their immoral acts.
Furthermore, as we witness the evidences of female defectors such as Batoul Soltani, we realize that every women who was more dedicated to Rajavi’s sexual desires was more admired and more glorified by the cult leaders. This was definitely the outcome of the manipulative indoctrination structure of Massoud Rajavi’s cult of personality. The lust of the MKO authorities for absolute obedience of members prompts them to suggest he evil as good.
By the way, the stolen plant that made a French citizen sue the MKO might be a very small step to counter the huge immoral and inhuman acts of the MKO leaders but it is an indicator of collapse of morality in a group that when its leader was arrested by French Police in 2003, millions of dollars were found in her base.
It is a pity that more crucial crimes and counter values practiced in the MKO are ignored by the international community. Leaders of the group are not brought to justice for their inhumane acts. There are countless records and documents of these cases of abuses in the MKO but they have not been investigated seriously by judicial bodies yet.

The ISIS threat in the Middle East might be over someday but the threat of cult-like extremism will not leave the region unless the super powers stop pursuing their empire-building policies in the region.
The beginning of the sectarian violence in the region perhaps goes back to the time of Russian influence in Afghanistan when the US supported Afghan Mujahideen and then created Taliban, the extremists group to fight the Soviet Union –the US strategic adversary in the Middle East. The rise of Taliban was the start of al Qaeda. Al Qaede in turn has been the originator of even worse extremist groups such as ISIS or IS. The entire historical memory of the world indicates that the Threat of extremism is a Western creature.
“The ISIL or IS threat is a smokescreen,” Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya the award-winning author, sociologist and geopolitical analyst states. “The strength of the ISIL has deliberately been inflated to get public support for the Pentagon and to justify the illegal bombing of Syria.” He suggests that the US has a broader dream which is regime change in Iran. ”… Baghdad and Damascus have been viewed as pathways for the Pentagon towards Tehran, “he writes. [1]
To accomplish such an objective, the US has the same plan for the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (the MKO, Rajavi’s Cult, MEK). As Nasemroaya notices, “disingenuously and ironically, the US and Britain used Saddam Hussein’s support for the MEK to justify labeling Iraq as a state-sponsor of terrorism and to also justify the Anglo-American invasion of Iraq”. [2]
That part of the US government that is opposed to diplomacy with Iran is dramatically manipulated by the MKO propaganda. The group’s multi-million dollar lobbying campaign finally resulted in getting removed from the list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations of the US State Department in September 2012 but shilling for the MKO has not stopped since then. The warmongers of the Congress view the Cult of Rajavi as “the main Iranian opposition” and an “alternative” for the Islamic Republic.
Daniel Larison of the American Conservative website criticizes Western supporters of the MKO who argue about the Iranian “deceit”. “Leaving aside how crazy it is to spurn diplomacy because governments sometimes lie and break their promises, there is something especially weird about an argument that simultaneously promotes the cause of the MEK while complaining about Iranian deceit,” he writes. [3]
Larison clarifies how the MKO propaganda actually deceived the West to buy its sponsorship. He states:” As it has sought to rehabilitate itself in the West, the MEK has claimed all sorts of spurious, self-serving things about what it represents. Despite being a bizarre authoritarian cult with Marxist and quasi-Islamist views, it now pretends to be exactly what Westerners want an Iranian exile group to be.” About the group’s skillful propaganda he writes,” It doesn’t matter to the MEK’s American fans that it is lying about its political views, and they are obviously not worried about reciting those lies for Western audiences. Indeed, it has so completely hoodwinked them that they think it should be rewarded with American support.” [4]
“The MKO Since 2003, the US has been funding the MEK,” Nazemroaya also warns about the US support for the MKO. “Washington has been protecting the MEK, because it wants to keep them on a leash as either leverage against Tehran or to have the option of one day installing the MEK into power in Tehran as part of a regime change operation against Iran.” He confirms that the MKO “has literally become incorporated into the Pentagon and CIA toolboxes against Tehran.”[5]
The Iranian-American analyst declares that the MKO’s money is circulated among its sponsors and the group’s propaganda arm. “The irony is that the money for the event most probably came from the US government itself. US allies probably contributed too,” he writes. “This money has gone to the MEK’s lobbying initiatives with the US Congress and US Department of State, which in effect is recycling US funding.” [6]
The fraudulent policy of the West to run its empire in the Middle East is very clearly seen in recent Henry Kissinger’s comment about ISIS which MKO propaganda website proudly republishes it. The former US Secretary of State who is famous for his warmonger policies, expressed in an interview with NPR that he considers ”Iran a bigger problem than ISIS”. He sounds to be making this audience ready for another war in the region—which is a dream for Maryam Rajavi. [7]
Daniel Larison announces to his country fellow politicians that the MKO is not “the main Iranian opposition” or “anything like it”. He suggests, ”The shilling for this group by many prominent American former officials and politicians is one of the more disgraceful displays of the last decade, and as long as it continues it should be held up for derision.” [8]
However, as Nasemroaya proposes, the West’s imperialism policy is not indeed based on truth but it is based on its in benefits and interests. “When it comes down to it, the US is not concerned about fighting the ISIL, which has been serving Washington’s interests in the Middle East,” he concludes. ”America’s main concern is about preserving its crumbling empire and preventing Eurasian integration.” [9]

Members and representatives of Setaregan Association (Switzerland), gathered in Geneva for the 27th Session of the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC). The Association used leaflets and individual explanations to inform delegates to the Conference about the human rights abuses practiced by the Rajavis against members of their own organisation, the Mojahedin Khalq. Representatives of Setaregan, including Nasrin Ebrahimi, were able to relate personal testimony to inform delegates, a move which was highly effective.
Ehsan Bidi; MKO former member on his FB page published the photo of his friend’s – Ali Ardalan wedding ceremony . he hoped all the MKO Cult hostages who are deprived of their basic rights such as marriage to be released from the bars of the Rajavis cult and experience the free,hopeful life near their families.
The document released by some dispatched members of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization reveals that the members had to go through strict procedures in order to go out of camp Ashraf and even commuting between different parts of the Camp. they had to fill out a form requiring their name, destination, time it takes for he/she to be out , reason of his/her exit along with signature and approval from his/her superior. The prescribed rules for those who wanted to go outside the Camp Ashraf had been more complicated as the members where required to get the approval of different parts of the organization such as security, personnel and intelligence commands.
The second form on top of which is written “Visa for internal places “had been issued for the members commute between different parts of the Camp Ashraf i.e. going to hospital, masque, cemetery or different bases within the Camp.
According to former members who could managed to release themselves from Camp Liberty such firm rules are run in Camp Liberty as well.
