Anti-MEK hashtags were once more trending on social media in the past few weeks. The viral hashtag, which is reminiscent of the MEK’s violent record and has trended in English, is #MEKTerrorists. This was the outcome of speeches made by some US former politicians on behalf of the group in their conference in Paris.
Another bad news for the MEK is that Donald Trump has blacklisted some ardent supporters of the MEK for his second administration. The list includes Mike Pence, Dick Cheney, John Bolton, Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney who served in his first administration and who have so far been paid hefty amounts of money by the MEK for speaking at their events.
However, there is only one politician who is under sever scrutiny because of his visit with Maryam Rajavi and his advocacy for the so-called National Council of Resistance (NCR), who will serve at Trump’s second administration. General Keith Kellogg, Trump’s special envoy for Ukraine and Russia, spoke at the NCR’s conference. NCR is the MEK’s political vitrine used to attract Western politicians by its pro-democracy gestures and its main figure is Maryam Rajavi, the so-called president elect who has not been elected by anyone except by her husband, Massoud Rajavi, the disappeared leader of the Rajavi’s Cult of Personality.
Keith Kellogg was blasted by the Iranians in social media. They condemned him of being bribed to lend his credibility to the MEK and considered it as a grave mistake. The critics of Kellogg reminded him that the MEK is a terrorist cult responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent people including American citizens.

The Iranian users and even western journalists warned the US general that the MEK do not represent the Iranian people in any way and will have no place in the future of a free Iran. These are a few of the most reposted posts against Keith Kellogg’s “shameful” embracing of the MEK:
*The dreaded terrorist and criminal organization, #MEKterrorists OR #NCIRterrorists has no place in Iran and is deeply hated by Iranians , You have no right to interfere in the internal affairs of our country. You have taken blood money.
*it is truly shameful that as a retired U.S. Army general, you support a terrorist group like the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK), which has a history of killing and assassinating Iranians, as well as several American soldiers and colonels. This group was on the U.S. State Department’s list of terrorist organizations until just a few years ago. In case you’ve forgotten, let me remind you of the names of three American colonels who were brutally assassinated by the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) in Iran in the 1970s.
Say their names out loudly:
Paul R. Shaffer
John H. Turner
Lewis Lee Hawkins
These three American colonels were killed by MEK in the 70’s.
*Why are American politicians endorsing and taking money from a former terrorist group #MEKterrorists bloodthirsty cult that has killed American soldiers?
*That woman #MaryamRajavi killed thousands of Iranians and Americans and even her own people.
