The same MO exists with the U.S. and Israel currently collaborating with the Iranian MEK/MKO/PMOI terrorists who have committed assassinations inside Iran. The U.S. government has recently shifted the MEK terrorists from the ranks of “bad” to “good” terrorists as part of a broader campaign to undermine the Iranian government …
the event indicated that the MKO propaganda has been roughly successful to whitewash its violent past and even the image it had as the assassin of the 6 US citizens in the 1970s. Haward LA Franchi of the Christian Science Monitor suggests, “From prominent former members of Congress to former national security officials and high-profile diplomats, the caliber of the American advocates on hand for the ribbon-cutting demonstrated how effective the Iranian opposition organization has been at transforming its image – from that of a fringe group with a violent past
The United States government has failed to protect its citizens’ rights at least not as good as it claims. Forgetting the fact that MKO aka MEK/PMOIhas assassinated a number of American citizens in Iran back in the 1970s, is a good proof for this claim…
I was shocked when our State Dept. under Hillary Clinton announced last fall that MKO/MEK/PMOI was being rehabilitated by taking them off the terror list. It seems the International Criminal Court might be off the hook for doing absolutely nothing about this group, thinking I guess that mass murderers only lived in the Balkans or Africa.
the de-listing of the MEK was mostly a quid pro quo to get most of the group’s members in Iraq to relocate from its old base at Camp Ashraf. It also fails to mention that many of the people at Camp Ashraf were being held there against their will. Taken together with the many disgraceful displays of support by members of Congress and various former officials, all of this creates the impression that the group’s “rehabilitation” is much more meaningful than it is.
Some US critics of the NCRI [MKO/MEK/PMOI]say there are no grounds for believing the group has anything of a positive image, let alone actual support, in Iran. Going further, they point to the high speaking and lobbying fees that some of the group’s prominent American advocates have reportedly been paid as evidence of Washington support that is only dollars-and-cents deep.
This seems to be a notable act since MKO’s traditional approaches of fundraising in the European countries still stand on place. These fundraisings are usually undertaken under the cover of charity works and titled as “social-financial” activities. The group’s TV channel also launches programs named “collaboration” to achieve the same goal.
The bomb used to explode Islamic Republic Party office was made of “Compressed Gas’ that had been previously invented by the United States but the Soviet Union had also achieve the technology shortly after the US. Immediately after the explosion the Soviet Union accused the US of committing the terror act because it wanted to convince the world that only the US had had the technology.
The US supported MKO/MEK/PMOI killed 12,000 of them, but Americans know nothing of it. One Israeli died in the last Gaza ‘war’, but Americans do know that. Do you see something a little out of balance here?Yes, some of this mass killing was done while Saddam was using the MKO, but when the US took over it kept the MKO bases in operation under its protection.
Today after the U-Turn shifting in the MKO’s principles, the group leaders deny their involvement in the assassination of US citizens, claiming that the killings were carried out by another splinter of the group. They try to whitewash the background of their Marxist terrorist ideas.“The Mojahedin’s enduring consensus on foreign policy is demonstrated by public statements of the group’s current leader, Massoud Rajavi, ”the DOS report reads.”At his sentencing during the 1972 trials, for example Rajavi argued that…
