MKO’s Financial Sources

According to the media reports, during the 17 June raid, the French Police discovered and confiscated more than a million US dollars in 100 banknotes and 100.000 Euros in MKO’s headquarters situated in Auvers-Sur-Oise, and more than 8 millions dollars in cash in various offices of the MKO as well in the houses of its high-ranking officials throughout France. Of course, the sum has been never returned to the organization and the group is banned of any fundraising activities inside France and in those countries that have blacklisted it as a terrorist group. The question is who is feeding MKO and what are the financial sources?

An exiled group likes MKO, claiming to be an alternative for the current Iranian ruling system, that has to spend huge sums for its insiders’ expenses, rallies and meetings, sumptuous banquets, lobbying activities and more and more, a look at its media propagandas explains enough, can never be run merely depending on charities and fundraising activities in the streets of Western countries. Once in Iraq under Saddam, the group enjoyed Saddam’s donated dollars; the regime paid it as middleman for illegal oil, arms and chemical dealings. During the past three years, financial section has also been activated in Iraq and with bringing goods from turkey to Iraq and selling it by MKO’s dealers in Iraqi market or similar activities.

The French judiciary has exonerated none of the MKO’s previous terrorist and money laundering charges and the file is fully open. In Western countries, business in the field of real estate, stock market, gold, electronic devices and … are of the activities of the group. Apart from political and legal scams of Mojahedin during these yeas including receiving tens of thousands of dollars from refugee and immigration organization (for the refugee right of the members and supporters), Mojahedin have had obvious financial ties with world’s intelligence services. Mojahedin have been careful in conducting this, in order to hide it.

In an article by Soraya Sepahpour-Ulrich, Why This Axis?, published in payvand.com, she criticizes the US administration in failing to track down the money activities of MKO:

Yet in spite of its sophistication, its groundbreaking and lawbreaking efforts, this [the US] administration has failed to track down the money that feeds the Mojahedeen-e Khalg (MEK) in Iraq; and the transactions the terrorist group make here in the United States.. . One must surely wonder how our finest who can handpick 400-500 ‘terrorists’ among untold hundreds of thousands and retain them for years in Gitmo, cannot trace money back and forth between 4000 terrorists (who are given ‘protected persons status’) under their very noses. This lack of intelligence gathering is incomprehensible – dismal at best.

France

‘The Association of Criminals’

Mojahedin / National Council of Resistance of Iran – ‘The Association of Criminals’

The judge in France, who is prosecuting Rajavi’s gang for illegal and criminal charges, has rightly called this group”The Association of Criminals”.

This, above all, shows the depth of the judge’s recognition of the nature and behavior of the MKO.

Abulghassem Rezaee, one of 17 members of this association, has given some explanation about the recent decision of the appeals court (to lift some restrictions on MKO), which itself displays the critical situation of MKO in France.

Rezaee, as the one who is fully aware of the case’s details, while trying not to reveal much, admits that:

1. MKO’s case is still open. He says that the case is practically open and that regime (read”French Judiciary”) will try again to keep it open.

2.”Our lawyers had asked the judge to lift the restrictions and bans. As we expected, the judge refused and we took it to appeals court”. So, the judge of the case is opposed to lifting these restrictions.

3.”Chief of France’s Counter-Espionage Office said it was right to destroy a terrorist organization.”This means that France’s intelligence services are wholly against the Rajavi’s band, which is the result of 25 years experience of countering the deceptions of MKO.

4.”Those countries whose security services investigated MKO supporters know that they can do nothing; they can’t stop our political works and resistance against theocracy in Iran. During past 3 years, we have won all courts we were taken to.”This means that Europe’s security officials are opposed to MKO’s illegal activities and that Mojahedin have been forced to accept to only do political works and avoid from violence.

Despite these confessions, MKO’s propaganda system tries to boost the morale of its desperate members by relating the decision of appeals court to the case itself; they stupidly claim:

“The case was based on the claim that some people in France are doing terrorist activities. They had even coined the name of”The Association of Criminals”for the MKO. With baseless charges, they created some restrictions for the officials of resistance to cut their relations with activities. When the court cancels the ruling it means that whole charges were baseless.”

This claim is so invalid that Rezaee himself admits to the hatred of European officials for the MKO and says:

“Informed sources quoted a European government saying that when MKO is bombed, more than half of them will go to Iran and others will disperse; then we can deal with remaining small groups”.

In addition, Rezaee refers to the measures taken by the US and Europeans after 9/11 and that how, in line with fighting terrorism, they controlled the group. However, MKO still tries to attribute all this global opposition (to Rajavi’s group) to Iran!

Mujahedin Khalq Organization as a terrorist group

A”nice-sounding”name won’t change terrorist nature of MEK

A reliable source has informed Iran-Interlink that neoconservatives in the US administration directly instructed the Mojahedin Khalq (MEK) several weeks ago to create "some nice-sounding NGOs" so that they can be funded under the 75 million dollars funding project which was approved to "promote democracy" in Iran.

America knows, historically, that creating and supporting terrorist groups is not in the long-term interests of that nation. It is not possible to use ‘good terrorists’ to fight ‘bad terrorists’. The problem with the MEK is not that they don’t have money and not that they are not already getting money from various sources. The problem is that they are too dirty so that after twenty five years everyone knows them. They are hated throughout the world by Iranians and non-Iranians alike.

Even if the MEK were to receive the full 75 million dollars – which is of course supposed to be distributed among several ‘opposition’ groups – this would still not be a fraction of the support they received from Saddam Hussein for over two decades, and for which they have absolutely nothing to show as a result.

Duplicity of the MEK nature

Saddam Devotees Hail Community of Strategy with Iraqis

It is common in political sphere for two political currents to concur in a community of strategy when they have mutual political axes to grind. The alliance does not necessarily mean that they have to reconcile with each other’s different ideologies. Years before the Islamic revolution, for instance, Mojahedin Khalq Organization (MKO) and People’s Fedayan Militia, two ideologically different campaigning anti-monarchical movements, formed an alliance against Shah’s regime and the US imperialism.

Iraqi people in general, regardless of being Kurds, Shiite and Sunni, advocated a community of strategy in their struggle to topple Saddam’s regime. Even the pro-Saddam factions in creating post-Saddam disorders moved on a line of consensus strategy.

With these preliminaries in mind, it was shocking to hear Dowlat Nowrouzi, the MKO’s representative in UK, saying “Mojahedin-e Khalq have a community of strategy with Iraqi people”. Before going any further, it should be noted that MKO have developed a comprehension of the magic role the numbers and statistics play in today’s political world and the adopted Western policies according to these figures. As a result, MKO have developed a talent of digging statistics out of any performed tasks. The significance lays in the fact that rarely the tally of these figures, being multiplied by a favored coefficient, are reliable as authentic. That is to say, the promulgated figures are too much exaggerated to be accepted.

MKO has been on this path from the beginning. Once, soon after the Islamic revolution, they announced that more than 150,000 rallied in Amjadieh soccer stadium in Tehran. The stadium in full capacity, according to mathematical evaluations, could entertain a crowd of not exceeding 30,000. Later, on the anniversary of the 20 June event, MKO’ TV reported a rally of 200,000 in the same place. Even on the 20 June 1981, the day MKO organized a protesting rally in different Iranian cities, MKO announced a swarm of 500,000 sympathizers in Tehran’s streets never thinking of the destructive potentialities of such a crowd if they really existed; demonstrators were easily dispersed and the irritated MKO announced armed struggle against the Islamic Republic.

Last year, MKO reported the declaration of 2,800,000 Iraqi people issued in support of MKO. This year, the number has increased to 5,200,000. Regardless of the authenticity of so big a figure, the Iraqi supporters of MKO are nearly multiplied, that is to say, a nearly 100 percent increase. More above that, according to reports broadcasted on 8 July by the group’s TV, as any single vote of this big figure represents an Iraqi family of five, consequently, it can be multiplied by 5 to reach a total figure of 26,000,000 supporters.

On 20 June, MKO reported that 300,000 French citizens had urged support for Maryam Rajavi. Then, they concluded that as any single vote of these French citizens represented a French family of three, so the number of supporters reached a total 900,000.

At the present, MKO claims the Islamic Republic has so far executed 120,000 members of the group. The number of the executed in 1987, the year they settled in Iraq, did not exceeded 20,000. It is not amazing to see the number jumping to such an extent because the “martyrs” have gone through the coefficient system of the organization. In another instance, Ebrahim Khodabandeh, a high-ranking separated member, admitted that once in a meeting of the European parliamentarians he had claimed, as was dictated by the organization, that about 300,000 political prisoners were under regular and daily torture in Iranian prisons. As he said, he never thought of a simple fact that if any of these prisoners were to be tortured by nothing more than a quick slap, what a great number of guards and torturers had to be provided! There are more and more examples of these kinds.

Accordingly, depending on case and place, they make the most of the words rather than the numbers. Seemingly suffering hypomnesis to remember what they have stated or done earlier, or maybe they think people are inattentive and unmindful, MKO expatiate on something they had controverted before. An organization commonly known to have formed a close alliance with Saddam, leaps forward to proclaim they “have a community of strategy with Iraqi people”. The words indicate that they have been in the same front along with Iraqi people in their struggle against the ousted dictator! That they too were victimized and oppressed under the tyranny of Saddam and the Baathists! That they are naturally democratic and advocates of freedom!

If uncertain about anything of Mojahedin’s past, the world vows that MKO was the most enthusiastic, strategic alliance of Saddam. The evidence? They were given land to establish a “city” of their own. With Saddam’s donated dollars in their pockets, armed with Iraqi weapons, and trained under Iraqi officers they recurrently violated Iranian borders at a time when Iranian were busy dealing with Saddam’s assault. Any body in doubt? They were the most trustworthy forces cooperating with the terrible Iraqi intelligence system. They had the permission to freely move around Iraq carrying arms. They gladly accepted the mission to have a key role in suppressing the insurgent Iraqi Kurds. They put their unsatisfied insiders in the same gruesome, terrific cells of the notorious Abu-Ghorib prison where the dissidents of Saddam’s regime had been consigned to oblivion. A look at videotaped secret meetings of Saddam’s high-ranking officers with MKO’s heads seems to suffice.

To “have a community of strategy with Iraqi people”, Mojahedin have to prove they have been their brothers in hardship. They proved it, not for people, but for Saddam. They were ready to sacrifice their life for Saddam. Once Maryam Rajavi announced that all girls and women under her command were ready to fight shoulder to shoulder with Iraqi forces to die for the great leader Saddam Hussein as she did.* Of course, no body can blame them for what they fail to remember!

To achieve their objectives, Mojahedin never care whose body they crush under their feet. The advocates of Machiavellianism deny the relevance of morality in political approaches and strictly hold that collusion, treachery and deceit are justified in pursuing and maintaining political objectives. They needed and need to survive. Once they colluded with Saddam and today they move on a treacherous line to deceit Iraqi people. The fact is that they have no community of strategy with anyone.

Duplicity of the MEK nature

Mujahedeen, the master of bluffing

The Europe governors, who are going to put impact on their negotiation with the regime of Iran, utilize the Mujahedeen specially Maryam Ghajar who has a black dossier in terms of terrorist actions as the entertainers through the retired political factors.

Whenever the Mujahedeen perform the political projects optionally, they propagandize for some weeks, but in this case there was no advertising.

It is notable that when the political factors became aware about their mistakes, they deported Maryam immediately, but the Mujahedeen who have been completely disgraced tried to issue some peculiar bluffs.

The Mujahedeen have been brought to parliament suddenly and forcefully, so they had no special scenario.

Bluffing is a characteristic of the members of Mujahedeen which has been taught by their leader. Rajavi, who put all his attempts for Saddam in his everlasting lie, now tries to present his content victory and declares that they were able to get to Tehran, but there had been some reasons to avoidance.

During the deporting from France in 1995, Maryam declared that there was no need to do political activities, and they should continue with army activities.

When the Mujahedeen were captured by Americans and lost all their weapons they began to talk about the cease-fire with Americans to prevent their disloyalty.

The other bluffing by Mujahedeen was their backward point of views in spying and acting against the national interests of Iran. They regarded their spying as a kind of duty and a symbol of glory.

During the student movement in Tir 18, 1378 the Mujahedeen represented a funny bluffing. They introduced some unreal names and claimed that they have headed that movement. According to some of the detached members of the Mujahedeen, at first they introduced the names of some of prisoners. Then these prisoners were left in the frontier to be arrested by the regime. In this way, they could claim that they had been active in the Student Movement. What a plenty of crimes!

Iraq

MKO and Sharing Strategic Interests with Iraqis

In a speech made in a rally organized by NCRI, Mojahedin Khalq Organization’s (MKO) political wing active in France, in Paris on July 1, 2006 Dowlat Nowrouzi, NCRI’s UK representative, referred to the organization’s widely advertised claim of 5200000 Iraqi people’s supporting MKO’s presence in Iraq and stated that “the organization shares common strategic interests with Iraqi people in accomplishment of peace and democracy”. Her words, a clear MKO’s paradoxical stance, are an affront to Iraqi people. She seems to have a weak memory to remember that MKO’s settlement in Iraq was the outcome of a made alliance with Saddam who led a dictatorial, tyrannical rule over Iraq and that, MKO acted as his mercenaries to suppress peoples’ freedom-seeking moves in Iraq.

How she has found “common strategic interests” is a question Nowrouzi should give an answer to, something she never does as it is Mojahedin’s convention. If it means sympathizing with Iraqi people’s struggle to accomplish demands of democracy and freedom pursuant to the country’s religious, cultural, and traditional conventions, no doubt, MKO’s strategy has proved to be in absolute contradiction with that of people. The group’s stance towards Iraqi political bodies and parties after Saddam’s fall and its policy of advocating disorder to survive in no way comply with peoples demands.

Before anything else, Iraqi people in an abundantly clear voice cry out for Saddam’s just trial for his overt and covert crimes done against the nation. MKO have yet shunned taking a clear position meaning they, too, bore the sin of a close collaboration with the fallen dictator whom they regarded, according to evidences, brother beyond a patron. The existing evidences unveil that Nowrouzi’s words are exactly the same as those that once were addressed to Saddam and his generals by Massoud Rajavi. At timely, regular meetings with Iraqi army and intelligence officials, Massoud Rajavi again and again paid homage to Saddam and talked of the necessity of close cooperation to safeguard common interests. In the irrefutable videotaped meetings between Massoud Rajavi and General Saber, the head of Saddam’s Intelligence Services, once Rajavi stated:

As far as we are concerned I have only one thing to say. In my mind and in my heart, I cannot separate the account of our interests from your interests. They are exactly matching each other….The reality is that our interests match each other and are closely mixed together. *

For sure, the interests of MKO in the reign of Saddam matched that of the dictator which was in contrast to the interests of people. In fact, the only thing Saddam did not account and had no concern for were people and their interests. It is not amazing to see MKO undergoing a sudden change overnight; they call it “strategy”.

Who can deny Saddam’s horrible, gruesome cells in Abu-Ghurib prison where MKO enjoyed possession of a few granted cells to utilize as suppressive means against its dissidents? Dissidents were a challenge both for Iraqi regime and MKO and as Rajavi once stated:

Whatever is against you, it is obviously against us, and vice versa. Our security is one. When we receive a blow, it is to both of us.*

The notorious opportunist MKO fish in troubled waters not caring the least for the interests of Iraqi peoples. At the time when the presence of foreign troops has negatively affected Iraq and has escalated turmoil and disorder, MKO is under the protection of the US army. Known as uninvited gusts, MKO intrude in Iraq’s internal affairs and even meddled in the process of elections the same as the remnants of the ousted regime did. Once General Saber appreciated MKO’s standing by Saddam’s regime saying:

We have an Arabic proverb that says: Brothers show themselves in hardship. You supported us with the bodies of your fighters.*

Thus, they had proved to be pro-Saddam fighters. Can they now provide any proof of sharing common interests with Iraqi people? Neither Nowrouzi nor any other MKO insiders can possibly give a distinct answer to the question. Somebody should tell MKO that when the broad day reveals the facts, it is unproductive to bury your head in the sand.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization's Propaganda System

Source of Legitimacy of MKO’s Presence in Iraq!

Following the comments of Mr. Mahmoud Al-Mashhadani on the situation of MKO in Iraq, which showed the unanimous attitude of Iraqi government toward the illegal presence of MKO in Iraq, Rajavi’s gang hurriedly resorted to a weak and ineffective person to decrease the effects of Mr. Mashhdani’s comments.

MKO, trying to use an interview in order to justify their illegal presence in Iraq, virtually confirmed this Mr. Mashhadan’s comments that occupiers’ support is the major reason for this group’s presence in Iraq.

MKO’s stupid propaganda system called the statements of the head of Iraqi parliament "fake" and by asking guided questions from a man called "Khalf Al-Ayan" tried to follow the old line of dividing Shiites and Sunnis so as to calm down desperate members.

In a cunning move, MKO officials claimed that Iranian press have announced that Mashhadani has canceled asylum rights of MKO members in Iraq (MKO has never been granted such a right, neither by the US nor Iraqi government) and then asked Khalf Al-Ayan to comment!

In this regard, Al-Ayan said:

"Regarding the issue of MKO’s presence in Iraq and its status for the time being, we should say that Mojahedin have been in Iraq for more than 20 years since the former government granted them political asylum right… but at the current situation, Iraqi government has no control over this because it’s under the occupation; and occupying forces have confirmed asylum right of Mojahedin and are protecting them. When the Iraqi government becomes independent and occupying forces leave the country, then it would be different and the government will independently deal with this issue."

So, it becomes clear that:

1. MKO’s presence in Iraq is rooted in Saddam Hussein’s support for this group and has nothing to do with Iraqi people and current government. In addition, Saddam’s government had not signed any of international conventions on refugees and the MKO that has been in Iraq for 24 years has no related case in UNHCR and other institutions. Saddam had in fact given shelter to Mojahedin and this is not related to political asylum rights.

2. According to Mr. Mashhadani, and confirmed by Al-Ayan, Iraqi government can’t decide on this group currently because of the interferences of occupiers.

3. The claim of getting asylum right from occupiers is a sheer lie. Occupiers have only granted them protected status until the Iraqi government can decide about them. In addition, according to international regulations, occupiers are not authorized to do so. Besides, occupiers that don’t observe any of international laws have been major reason behind the presence of this group in Iraq.

4. The head of Iraqi parliament put it clearly that the Iraqi government can’t expel the MKO from Iraq until the occupiers are in Iraq, and this is what Al-Ayan has pointed to!

Europe

The West cannot take the Mojahedin seriously

In an article by James Graff, “Are The PMOI Iran’s last Hope For A Peaceful Solution?”, TIME Europe has discussed the position of the MKO in the west. Graff wrote:

“…But there are also reasons why Western governments remain wary: among them are the group’s ideological origins in a mixture of Marxism and Islam, the aid they offered to and received from Saddam Hussein, and charges, which they deny, implicating them in terrorist acts in Iran. Many independent analysts, such as Paris-based sociologist Farhad Khosrokhavar, say the group has few supporters inside Iran.

The PMOI’s terrorist listing was first secured nine years ago as a concession to the reformist government of Mohammed Khatami, but it has been consistently renewed since then. A legal challenge to the designation was denied in 2004 by the D.C. Circuit of the U.S. Court of Appeals, in a judgment written by John Roberts, now the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. At Le Bourget, a number of sympathetic politicians spoke in support of the organization, but none who have the ear of sitting governments.

The widow of President François Mitterrand, Danielle, headlined the French contingent, which also featured Edith Cresson, whose stints as prime minister and European Commissioner brought her little credit. And so the battle continues. The Le Bourget gathering had the harmless character of a political rally-cum-family reunion rather than the menace of a terrorist conclave. But the PMOI represents a Third Way the West is still unlikely to embrace — even if it has no other good options either.

The MEK; Baath Party Accomplice

A Ba’ath Party Replica

Mojahedin Khalq Organization (MKO) left France to settle in Iraq with the aim to utilize Saddam and Baath Party’s potentialities to form an alliance against Iran. Saddam, too, had the same idea in mind and could venture on MKO in its war with Iran. The close strategic, political collaboration furthered a brotherhood between Saddam and Rajavi; it may explain why MKO yet avoid taking any clear position against Saddam and his crimes. As a proof of their loyalty, MKO sided with Saddam in suppression of Iraqi insurgents in 1991. They had to because, as Rajavi made it clear in his meeting with Iraqi generals, they moved on the same line of interest with Saddam:

As far as we are concerned I have only one thing to say. In my mind and in my heart, I cannot separate the account of our interests from your interests. They are exactly matching each other. [1]

In the same meeting, General Saber, the Head of Saddam’s Intelligence Services, appreciated MKO’ worthwhile assistance the same as brothers’:

We feel ashamed in front of your speech. And in front of your leadership and your organisation,and you and your army and your fighters and your political stands. Exactly in a situation that a common danger was threatening us and this common danger has put us in the same line of defence. We have an Arabic proverb that says: Brothers show themselves in hardship. You supported us with the bodies of your fighters. [2]

General Saber unequivocally points to MKO’s hand in glove with Iraqi forces’ crackdown on insurgent Iraqis:

Also many thanks to the brothers in the National Liberation Army and their big role in the process of the past uprisings and revolts… The other issue is that during these uprisings that we faced and what we fought against together and defeated… and that was the second phase of the attack and the programs and the plans and plots in this respect. [3]

Regardless of all these corroborated evidences on MKO and Saddm’s close collaboration to secure mutual interests, what really augmented the alliance were the shared political, organizational, and ideological tenets projecting in both MKO and Iraqi Baath Party. The first remarkable and dominant feature in both is the leadership hegemony. Both Saddam and Rajavi were the predominant influence atop occupying a permanent leading seat. Far above a leadership position, they both besought a highly acclaimed position with the potentialities far above those of earthly men and were indulged in practice of discrimination against people and insiders on the grounds of the Party and group’s ideological priority.

Iraq’s political-social state structure, under Baath Party’s hegemony, heavily influenced by Stalinist Parties, was running under Sadam’s hegemony. The bloody internal clearance, the commonly practiced method in Stalinist Parties, emboldened Saddam as the authoritative state power in perpetrating covert group slaughters and blood bathes. It was also so celebrated an idea in MKO with the exception that the authority was limited in the framework of an organization perpetrating atrocities against the insiders and staging violent and terrorist acts against the outsiders. Of course, it projected a future Iran should it succeed to power. In fact, MKO in Iraq were practically testing an ideology they were to administer once in power. Bijan Nyabati, a MKO left element, believes:

MKO’s strategy being stabilized in Iraq, they got the opportunity to test their revolutionary theory in the laboratory of their self-controlled community far from the outside influential magnetic field of ruling systems. [4]

In other words, the Iraqi soil, because of Saddam’s totalitarian and hegemonic control over all aspects of Iraqi people, served to form a microcosm of future Iran:

The formed microcosm had to contain all the political features of a real society. A legal state with a president atop, a parliament in exile, army and police forces, judiciary and prison, a state-run TV-radio station as well as media and news agency, diplomatic bodies, extensive financial institutions and logistics to feed was all the component elements of the microcosm. [5]

There are more fundamental elements shared by MKO and Baath Party. Both justify their hegemonic leadership to survive. The difference lies in geographical and political conditions. The Baath Party and Saddam justify their existence and leading potentialities according to blood and tribal relations. Above that, in a broader extent of advocating nationalism, they chanted slogans of creating a Great Iraq to further the authoritative hegemony. That is in this way that the party mesmerized peoples and exploited peoples’ soul and body to serve its interests; there immerged Saddam Devotees Squads who are ready for suicidal operations on the master’s order.

Somehow the devotedness may seem to be a result of apprehension of punishment for disobedience. Saddam’s inter-Party executions are more disobedience punishments rather than having political and national causes. In MKO, first it is the ideology and then patriotism that serve recruit sympathizers to preserve the organization. The ideology in MKO does the same influential factor of blood and tribal relations in Baath Party. That is the ideology that compels devotees to commit self-destruction operations as ordered. The same as Baath Party, MKO insiders are under the illusion of being led by a heavenly blessed guide. The similarity between MKO and Baath Party is emphasized by Rajavi addressing General Saber in this way:

I think that the relations between us and you and Iraq, being the government of Iraq or the Baath Party and at the top of it Mr President [Saddam], and on the other side, the Iranian Resistance and the Mojahedin and the National Liberation, is not a purely political relation and one cannot interpret our relations like that any more. I think that the brotherhood relation has been completed. Such brothers that would not come short of anything for each other…. And that was how our fates were tied together. Our fates have become one and our bloods have been mixed together. And you know that there is no exaggeration in this. [6]

Thus, whatever threatens the Baath Party might be a threat to MKO as well, that is to say, any democratic and freedom movement could sounded the alarm. That is a fact Rajavi admitted:

Whatever is against you, it is obviously against us, and visa versa. Our security is one. When we receive a blow, it is to both of us. And when there is progress, it affects us both. [7]

Moreover, the alliance between MKO and Baath’s Party before being a pragmatic and tactical one was based on cult-like similarities. Both attempted to develop a community that evolved the ideological tendencies of the party and the cult. The core of all these ideological teachings was expansion of an absolute totalitarian influence on society and insiders under a hegemonic leadership. Elaborating on the importance of these ideological teachings Nyabaty states:

The final solution to the issue of leadership that could put an end to a problem known to be the Achilles’ heel in most contemporary revolutions and movements was only evolution of a stabilized theory of imamate inside the organization that could lead the new revolution. [8]

The mere difference between the two was that MKO had succeeded to assume a classified order of these ideological teachings, a task that Saddam failed to accomplish because of tribal and historical infrastructures. In practice, however, the Baath Party was moving in the same line with MKO.

The cult of Rajavi

The council and the women commission

We should bear in mind that all the mottoes of the council and its commissions are to justify the functions of the Mujahedeen. Its members are the old staff of the Mujahedeen sect. SARVE NAZ CHITSAZ, the leader of the women commission, is one of the members of the Mujahedeen sect who tried to settle the forced divorces against the members.

In 21 Khordad 1385, this commission tried to abuse from the plan of the regime in terms of having the veil for the women in the offices. They declared that they had performed the regulations having to do with the veil perfectly.

It is funny for the sect that even a small hole in hosiery of men is against the order, but the women should confess about their sexual desires in front of men. The women should explain their dreams for the leader everyday.

As the detached members who have been in the sect for two decades, we must explain the major discrepancies between the recent view of the commission and the previous function of the Mujahedeen:

1)From 1370, after the fall of the families and forced divorce, the house and the office of men and women were separated completely. The women were settled in desolate places or in castles with tall walls.

2)The Mujahedeen represented a plan that no man and woman allow to sit in front seat of an automobile, even the old one.

3)In 1372, a plan was represented that the women should have a pistol to show their nobility upon the men.

4)Some of the women had a sexual relationship with foreign workers in Ashraf garrison. Doesn’t it show the bad function of the sect about the women?

5)All the marriages were performed according the interests of the sect, which was the organized marriage.

The women commission should find answers to the problems of the women who killed themselves because of forced marriages, or for those whose families were separated from them forcibly.
