Are MEK Politicos Taking Saddam Hussein’s Blood Money?

Nejat SocietyMarch 15, 20120124 views

There are many misconceptions about the MEK/MKO/PMOI so I checked in with several Iranian born experts on Iran. All of them are distressed that American politicians are advocating for the MEK. They also doubt that the money paid to the politicos comes from the Iranian Diaspora because most expatriate Iranians do no support the MEK.. a Washington political consultant, said,”The MEK is a terrorist group. It is a cult of religious automatons. ..

Washington’s high-powered terrorist supporters

In August of last year, The Christian Science Monitor‘s Scott Peterson published a detailed exposé about “a high-powered array of former top American officials” who have received “tens of thousands of dollars” from a designated Terrorist organization – the Iranian dissident group Mojahedin-e Khalq (MEK) aka MKO/PMOI— and then met with its leaders, attended its meetings, and/or publicly advocated on its behalf…

The Folly of American Pro-MEK Advocates

It doesn’t exactly come as a shock that the MEK/MKO/PMOI is misrepresenting the facts about the conditions at Camp Liberty, since the group misrepresents itself on a regular basis. Pro-MEK advocates in the U.S. and Europe worked diligently for years to blur the differences between the welfare of the civilians at Camp Ashraf and the issue of the MEK’s listing as a foreign terrorist organization. The goal of this was to exploit the plight of Ashraf residents..

But Rendell is far from the only former government official who has publicly acknowledged accepting speaking fees from supporters of the MEK, which has been lobbying to get the group off the State Department’s list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations. The Huffington Post put together a list of 33 speakers at various MEK related meetings and conferences, though not all of them had accepted payments.

Mojahedin Khalq, True Mercenaries

Nejat SocietyMarch 13, 20120101 views

In Washington D.C. the MEK cosy up to the neoconservatives, Israeli lobby and regime change pundits to press for military strikes and war against Iran. The MEK’s black/white version of events infects the Republican electoral campaign with a crass warmongering stance. Conversely, in Europe and the Persian Gulf States, where such a stance is highly unpopular, the MEK/MKO/PMOI instead claim that the sanctions are working …

Rendell’s”extensive research”claim appears to contradict what he told the audience at his very first MEK-related speaking engagement — a July 16 conference at the Willard Hotel in Washington attended by this reporter. There, on a bipartisan panel of former administration officials, all receiving at least $20,000 for their appearances, Rendell said he had received the speaking invitation only five days before. Typically, top-tier speakers like Rendell are booked months in advance.

Dershowitz: from Israel Firster to MEK Firster for the Right Price

Nejat SocietyMarch 12, 20120101 views

How much money is the MEK dropping on Dershowitz? I’d be shocked if he’d sell himself any cheaper than $50K a pop. If anyone has actual figures on this please get in touch. Where does the money come from? Possibly from the Iran assassinations the MEK aka MKO/PMOI performs on Mossad’s behalf, which undoubtedly pay well. Then there’s the possibility that the $400-million Bush allocated for destabilizing Iran in 2007 has found its way either to the MEK or Mossad (or both) …

What must be done to reach “liberty”?

Nejat SocietyMarch 12, 2012076 views

What all entities are in agreement with is that the Ashraf inhabitants must enjoy the minimum of freedom. Will the individuals have the right to visit their close relatives in the new base? Will they have access to the outside world? Will they be able to think freely and decide for their own destiny? Will the brainwashing techniques still be in use? Will the families’ concern about their loved ones eventually be ended? Unfortunately those parties who praise the MKO ..

Are the MEK’s U.S. friends its worst enemies?

However, according to an Obama administration official who works on the issue, it’s actually the MEK aka MKO/PMOI that is trashing Camp Liberty — literally. According to this official, the U.N. has reported that MEK members at Camp Liberty have been sabotaging the camp, littering garbage and manipulating the utilities to make things look worse than they really are. While there are some legitimate problems at the camp, the official admitted,..

What’s Up With All the MEK Ads?

Nejat SocietyMarch 11, 20120128 views

the MEK/MKO/PMOI is not well liked by the majority of Iranians because of the numerous acts of violence it has committed within the country. This means that it’s not really a viable regime-change option—which is the reason Washington insiders have been lining up on behalf of the group.More disturbing is the fact that the MEK is basically a cult. In a 2009 report on the group, the Rand Corporation characterizes the MEK’s practices as “cultic” and their recruitment tactics as “deceptive,”
