the reality is that the group’s beliefs are antithetical to liberal and democratic principles. The MEK’s reinvention as a “democratic” opposition group is a classic example of a revolutionary organization adopting the rhetoric of its would-be Western patron. Suffice it to say that a group that relied on the patronage and protection of Saddam Hussein for over two decades..
IACNT and IANCC paid the lobbying firms in Washington thousands of dollars to get signatures for the congressional resolution. They paid the speakers lobby thousands of dollars to get Rendell, Giuliani and Crowley, participants said.And they funded a series of sleek ads that have aired on channels like Fox calling for a delisting of the M.E.K. aka MKO/PMOI
The push to get the group removed from the State Department’s list of terrorist organizations, presumably to make it eligible for US funding to undermine the Iranian government, ignores the fact that the MEK engage in violence to this day…Gingrich railed against the Iranian hostage crisis, not knowing that the MEK actually participated in the incident..
Since conducting its antagonistic struggle under a pro-democratic disguise in European countries, MKO has heavily invested on the crucial role of the media to spread its play in the formation of public opinion and thought through talking in monologue. MKO has its own private media that broadcasts its own words..
Maryam Rajavi ‘s better known as the”principal leader”of Mujahadeen-e-Khalq or MEK, which is officially designated by the United States as a terrorist group…it’s a bit jarring to see a recent front-runner for the GOP nomination for the presidency literally bowing to the leader of a terrorist organization. The bow was an odd choice
he seems to be hailing them as the George Washington’s of the Middle East. That’s ludicrous. It’s also a development that you might even be justified in labeling terrifying if the MEK really were to become the new pet cause of crusading conservatives. What Gingrich is courting is not the liberation of Iran but a replay of the Iraq War. That is a path that no American administration should follow.
Every big- and middle-name Democrat and Republican loves raking in fees to speak to the exiled Iranian Marxist guerilla group MEK, an official member of the State Department’s terrorist group list..Of course Newt Gingrich did this. What’s more fascinating is how working journalist Clarence Page of the Chicago Tribune found himself in such a position..
The latest hypocritical twist in the Zionist extremist-directed campaign against Iran has seen an Iranian terrorist group[MKO/MEK/PMOI], long on the State Department’s “banned” list, move towards recognition and “legitimacy” because it now can be used to carry out attacks inside Iran…
The group has been involved in targeted assassinations as recently as January 2012, previously working with Israeli intelligence agency Mossad to carry out five known targeted killings since 2007, according to Iranian state sources as well as U.S. government officials. The most recent attack in January of this year killed Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan, a nuclear scientist.
Days before the event they publicized for the rally spending huge amounts of money to bring rented crowds to Paris. A week after the event held you can find on the group’s websites very few photos and highly edited videos of the gathering. You may see the 1300 buses the MKO propaganda claimed of but you never see who got off the buses, Iranian exiles or hired Arabs and black Africans.
