Mujahedin Khalq as a Destructive Cult

Mujahedin Khalq Organization's Propaganda System

Culture of taboo in MKO

Former members, journalists, politic men and political activists who criticize the cult of Rajavi, are all considered as the agents of Islamic Republic Culture of taboo in cults is part of their mind control system. Cult leaders are not able to defend their manipulative practice against their opponents, so they try to demonize their critics.

Former members, journalists, politic men and political activists who criticize the cult of Rajavi, are all considered as the agents of Islamic Republic and therefore they deserve being boycotted. The leaders of People’s Mujahedin of Iran launch a large-scale propaganda campaign against them, turning their words into taboo words that no member of the cult dares listen to the critics since any word against MKO is definitely from the side of Regime!

Maryam Rajavi claims that her so called resistance (Cult of Rajavi) is the only democratic alternative for the regime of Tehran! But the true facts show that MKO has the most undemocratic approach against its critics. How can one consider MKO as a democratic movement while Tolerance is meaningless in Mujahedin-e-Khalq Organization? Rajavi represents himself as the one on the summit of perfection and never admits the arguments against his cult.

As the main principal of a democratic society, Tolerance signifies the freedom of speech, freedom of decision ad freedom of thought but in fact any freedom in the cult of Rajavi endangers the existence of the cult. Therefore, MKO leaders never believe in political arguments or challenges, they just eliminate the rivals and opponents by viewing them as taboos.

Today the growth of societies is directly based on discussion, negotiation and consultation while MKO leaders view the world as Black and White. They divide the world as their supporters and their opponents who are all labeled as agents of Islamic Republic. A significant instance is the recent letter they sent to Economist newspaper (allegedly signed by Lord Corbett) following the publication of an article on MKO titled “where will they all go” dated April 11th. Via the letter, MKO attacked the Economist for repeating “untruths commonly voiced by the Iranian regime’s Ministry of Intelligence and security”.

Despite all deceptive hawkish propaganda of Rajavi’s Cult, truth is always present. The history records all atrocities committed by the destructive cult of Rajavi: As Baroness Nicholson of Winterbourne, MEP, clarifies in her letter (Mary 21st) to Economist, “the article on People’s Mujahedin of Iran” as “an accurate account of their past activities”.

European Union

MKO ex-members’ letter to the President of EP

Letter of a number of former members of the MKO in Iraq to the President of the EP concerning the deeds of the proxies of the Rajavi terrorist cult in parliament

President of the European Parliament, Mr Hans-Gert Pöttering, Brussels

On Thursday April 23, 2009, a motion for resolution was tabled in the European Parliament by a number of advocates of the Rajavi terrorist cult including Mr Alejo Vidal-Quadras who has recently been an exceptional guest of the MKO destructive cult in Ashraf garrison in Iraq. In that motion the situation that has been described is quite contrary to the actual facts as well as baselessly accusing the Iraqi government.

The text of the speech delivered in the Chamber of the EP by Mr Alejo Vidal-Quadras to defend such a motion and ruling out the other proposed amendments which in reality defended the inhabitants trapped in the Ashraf cult garrison is brought below as a reminder:
Friday, 24 April 2009 – Strasbourg

Alejo Vidal-Quadras, – Mr President, this morning we will be voting on a joint motion for a resolution co-signed by four political groups on the situation of the Ashraf refugee camp in Iraq. Three thousand five hundred Iranian men and women, members of the democratic opposition to the fundamentalist regime in Iran, live there completely defenceless. In the last few weeks they have been under pressure and harassment by the faction of the Iraqi Government under the influence of the Iranian regime, and there is a high probability that at any moment a tragedy could happen that would parallel the ones we witnessed in the Balkans not so long ago.

We all remember Srebrenica, and I have no doubt that no Member in this Chamber wants a second Srebrenica in Iraq. Our motion for a resolution is a call to alert public opinion all over the world before a disaster takes place. Unfortunately, some colleagues have tabled amendments that could increase the danger for the residents in Camp Ashraf and provide the Iranian regime and its proxies in Iraq with arguments to massacre them.

I recently visited the camp myself and I assure you that the allegations included in the amendments tabled are absolutely unfounded. People in Ashraf are there on a volunteer basis. They are free to leave whenever they want and they live in the best friendly relations with the Iraqi population of the region. The intention of our motion is to protect these people. Nobody would understand – but if these amendments are adopted the result of the motion would be exactly the opposite.
This is not a political issue, colleagues: it is purely humanitarian and it is very urgent. I beg you to vote against all amendments tabled to this joint motion supported by these four groups and support the motion as it has been agreed by these four groups that are of very different political stances. The lives of many innocent and harmless people depend on your vote. Please do not let them down.

As you are well aware, the proposed amendments which Mr Vidal-Quadras so strongly opposes are based on the testimonies given by many rescued former members of the Rajavi terrorist cult. They describe the situation of human rights inside Ashraf garrison as disastrous and remind us that visits by international human rights organizations to this cult garrison, which lacks the minimum individual rights, were sought. According to Mr Vidal-Quadras this just demand would provide the Iraqi government with the excuse to massacre all of them!

It is worth mentioning that the speech delivered by Mr Vidal-Quadras as well as the contents of his motion for amendment to the resolution is exactly coordinated with the bizarre stances of the leaders of the MKO. For instance nobody in the whole world claims that a faction of the Iraqi government is a proxy of the Iranian regime which is determined to massacre the inhabitants of Ashraf.

The aim of the leaders of the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO), which Mr Vidal-Quadras is pursuing in the European Parliament very determinedly, is to keep the people in Ashraf cult garrison isolated from the outside world since only in this case could they be trained to execute sabotage activities inside Iraq.

We wish to ask Mr. Vidal-Quadras through you, why he and the MKO leaders are so severely against the visits of international human rights organizations and direct interviews with the people over there without the presence of the MKO officials and also their free contact and visit with their families, and why he just repeats the MKO leaders’ excuses.

We of course do agree with him that a disaster is about to happen and also the fact that the issue of the Ashraf cult garrison is not a political matter but a human rights one. But those who have lost many years of their lives being captive in that garrison would also like to alert international public opinion to the threats against the innocents in that garrison from the MKO leaders. We do fear that the end of the Rajavi terrorist cult will be like many other cults such as that of Jim Jones in Guyana.

Individuals such as Mr. Vidal-Quadras are certainly responsible for the continuation of the mental and physical captivity of the inhabitants of the Ashraf cult garrison and all the consequences resulted against these people from the cult leaders.

With regards

Germany

German secret service report highlights MKO terror role

Germany’s domestic Verfassungsschutz intelligence agency highlighted in its annual report, released here Tuesday[May 19], MKO’s numerous terror attacks inside Iran.

The German secret service which continues to monitor the MKO, stressed the Paris-based terror group was "responsible for scores of attacks" inside Iran over the past three decades.

The report pointed out the MKO was no longer capable of conducting terror assaults in Iran ever since the collapse of Iraq’s dictator Saddam Hossein.

The Israeli-backed MKO terror group had collaborated with the former Saddam regime, brutally massacring tens of thousands of Iraq Kurds and Shias.

The MKO has been involved in the mass killings of thousands of innocent Iranians over the past 30 years.

The report referred also to MKO’s campaign in Europe to whitewash its brutal crimes by portraying itself as a "democratic Iranian opposition movement."

It added the MKO had hired numerous people of non-Iranian origin, interested in visiting Paris, to attend a MKO rally in the French capital on June 17, 2008.

The MKO terrorist group had also paid extras for a demonstration in Brussels on March 8, 2007 in a bid to cover up the small number of protesters, according to German press reports.

Around 60 Iranian actors and actresses who were not informed beforehand about the action, were paid the usual 50 euros per day fee to take part in the demonstration in Brussels where the MKO was protesting its blacklisting as a terror group by the European Union.

The extras were hired by a German casting agency, named ‘House of Extras’, which transferred them via two buses from Cologne to Brussels.

Most of the actors and actresses were duped into believing that the MKO demonstration was part of a movie and not a real event.

Once the extras arrived at the scene of a demonstration they were shocked and most of them broke away from the other demonstrators.

Meanwhile, a representative of the German casting agency said extras were also hired for another MKO rally in New York in fall 2005.

Jochen Cerff confirmed 50 actors and actresses were hired in Hamburg and Leipzig to take part in a New York rally in front of the UN building.

The extras received reportedly a one-week complimentary trip to New York.

The MKO had also paid poor European-based immigrants from Africa and the Middle East, most of them social welfare recipients, to attend demonstrations in Berlin.

Several of the paid African demonstrators were told by the MKO that they would go on a sightseeing trip to Berlin.

The MKO has also been of massive social welfare fraud in Germany.

The cult of Rajavi

Rajavis’ Cult on the net

For those MKO members who are captured by MKO in Camp Ashraf Iraq or Camp Maryam France, surfing the Internet includes a difficult process due to the severe information control dominating the cult. The members would work on the Internet only in groups of at least two people including a superior and a minor member. The limited number of websites filtered for them, are just those of the organization that advocate the cults’ cause.

A free access to the Internet can be the first step for a person who is involved in a cult such as MKO destructive cult. The leaders of Rajavi’s cult hate the net because it allows their members access to Information they deem subversive or evil.

Many ex-members of MKO are now running their own websites posting their sometimes untold stories of their involvement in the cult of Rajavi.

”Be especially eager to surf the net if your leaders have told you not to “according to Cult Watch website. A quick search on common search engines by the keywords related to MKO (MEK, Rajavi’s Cult, Mujahedin Khalq, etc.)provides you thousands of pages and most of them contain the same patterns which are familiar to all those characteristics mentioned in previous parts of these articles.

According to Cult Watch “Old publications by the group are key tools to recognize a cult: often older cults have predicted the end of the world or changed their beliefs significantly, hence their old publications become a danger to them.” A look at Mujahed Journals issued in the 1980’s or 1990’s or before the Islamic Revolution shows numerous instances of changes in MKO beliefs which often contradict one another. The very significant example is the change in their approach toward Israel and America’s so-called Imperialism. During the early years of NKO foundation, militants of the group assassinated American military personnel and civilians or they received military trainings by PLO in Palestinian military camps of Yaser Arafat. Now the big change: they are flattering their Western godfathers to receive a safe haven after the fall of their ex-landlord Saddam Hussein. Among former members of MKO Cult, some have written books, articles, memoirs on the rise and fall of these changes.

Spain

Open letter to MR. JOSE LUIS RODRIGUES ZAPATERO

HONORABLE and distinguished President of the Government of Spain
“MR. JOSE LUIS RODRIGUES ZAPATERO”

We are the former veteran members of PMOI (Rajavi’s cult), a terrorist cult organization which has been blacklisted as a terrorist organization by USA and Canada.
We would like to inform your Excellency that MR. ALEJO VIDAL QUADRASS, the Vice President of the European Parliament is helping and backing up the PMOI’s leader MRS. MARYAM AZDANLO and her terrorist cult in European parliament.

We would like to notify your Excellency that this brutal and savage religious cult (PMOI) has perpetrated lots of crimes against the people of Iraq during Saddam Hussein’s reign and suppressed and repressed its own members for decades.

We are all victims of this brutal and tyrant cult, who had been under severe and harsh physical and psychological mistreatment and torture by the henchmen of this cult for years just because we dared to criticize the leaders of this cult and their cultish ideology which is considered as a deadly sin and is totally against the cultish regulations and rules of law in this cult.

We are all witnesses of killing and murdering lots of innocent people of Iraq by PMOI’s military missions in complicity and complete co-operation with Saddam Hussein’s army during the popular uprising of the people of Iraq.

We are all surprised that MR. VIDAL QUADRASS is helping and backing up such a cruel and bloodthirsty cult which has committed numerous crimes not only against its own members but also against the people of Iraq.

Before MR. VIDAL QUADRASS, MR. CASACA, a politician from Portugal, was doing the same job in favor of PMOI, backing up and helping PMOI in European Parliament, but we saw that he lost his popularity in European Parliament and they did not vote for him and he had to withdraw from European politics.

Helping and backing up this terrorist and inhumane cult will ruin and damage the popularity and prestige of anyone who aligns himself with them.

Best Regards

SIGNATORIES (the Former Veteran Members of PMOI)

Massoud Rajavi

Elevation of Rajavi from charismatic leadership to cult of personality

A common characteristic among all cult leaders is charisma which by itself is not evil but when the leader’s charisma is used as a tool to exploit members including their whole-hearted After his release, Rajavi tried to represent himself as a charismatic leader devotion to the charismatic leader and their fanatical submission to his orders. To achieve such an objective, the charisma should be combined with mind control techniques since the members would not submit to the leader automatically. So the charisma leader uses this powerful attribute together with manipulation practices. This mixture will end with the total devotion of members to the cult and its goal. The brainwashed members are always ready to run the cult’s objectives.

In the early years of the foundation of Mujahedin Khalq Organization, Masud Rajavi was not as experienced as most members including founders of the movement or those who were more related to the founders, but after the Islamic Revolution he could assume leadership in MKO despite he didn’t have qualifications of a leader since he was among those few people who were not executed by Shah’s Savak and there were allegations on his cooperation with Savak when he was interrogated by them. Therefore after his release he tried to represent himself as a charismatic leader because despite his expectations, he couldn’t achieve any powerful position in Ayatollah Khomeini’s Islamic Republic.

As a good lecturer, he started holding meetings, publishing articles, attending interviews to elevate himself as a charisma personality and of course he succeeded to accomplish this goal and his success was actually originated in his ambitious, egotic characteristics. Thus he began to eliminate all his rivals in the organization by criticizing them. In 1980, when he fled Iran to France, he had partly achieved his primary goal: being accepted by his sympathizers as a charisma leader. In France he pursued his ambitions by establishing his so –called National Council of Resistance in which he and his group were the dominating elements. In 1986 after the settlement of the organization in Iraq, most of the way was paved to establish a cult of personality. Their landlord, Saddam Hussein offered them the very isolated Camp Ashraf to perform all cult-like practices Rajavi needed for his cult of personality.

During the Iran-Iraq war, due to Rajavi’s cooperation with the invading enemy, Saddam Hussein, MKO lost its little support among its Iranian compatriots, and also its supporters in other parts of the world.

Now, Rajavi had to launch a new trick to keep his cult of personality that was his ideological marriage with Maryam Qajar Azdanloo and then the so-called ideological revolution. It was firstly accepted by high-ranking members who were indoctrinated by himself. These members showed passionately their complete devotion to Masud Rajavi. Therefore, the others who still hesitated to agree with Ideological Revolution were convinced and even forced by their superior officials.

Rajavi, since then continued his egocentric activities in a more convenient situation. The public power had reached its least level and the atmosphere was prepared for Rajavi’s Megalomania.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization members' families

Letter of Nuri Family to ICRI

The honorable representative of ICRI in Tehran,

This letter is to inform you that Hamid Reza Nouri, soldier of Division No.64 was captured by forces of Mujahedin –e- Khalq Organization in the fronts of Iran – Iraq was in Haj Omran operational region in 1986 when only a few days of his serving period was left.

The above-named was married and had a baby girl. After several years of lack of information on his fate, in 2000, we were informed that he was in MKO’s Camp Ashraf, Iraq. In September 2002, his brother and daughter went to visit him. They succeeded to have a 2-hour visit, under the supervision of MKO forces, persuading him to return to his family but unfortunately due to the strong monitoring of MKO during the visit, it had no outcome.

In a following meeting another brother of him and his father-in-law visited him. Once more they couldn’t talk to each other in a free, honest atmosphere because of the severe security supervision. Therefore, regarding the last time that his brother visited him, we found out that he is severely brainwashed and due to his physical and mental imprisonment in Ashraf he fears to tell the truth. We believe that if the visits take place in another place with total freedom, they will end with positive outcomes.

Sincerely, we ask the honorable representative of ICRC in Tehran to arrange our visits in a place outside Camp Ashraf, far from the supervising eyes of MKO agents.
We hope that it will be a start for the return of our beloved brother to the family.

Yours Faithfully
Mojtaba Nouri, Hamid Raza’s awaiting brother

Jaafar Babaiee nezhad

I just want my father

Mr. Jaafar Babaiee nezhad was a service man when he was captured by MKO group in 1986. He has an only daughter who hasn’t seen her father since she was born. She is now living with her grandfather in the village of Ali Abad. Having missed her parents, she has a lot of problems including lack of the possibility to continue her studies. She always thinks if she lived with her father, she would have a better situation or she would live in a better city to enjoy educational facilities. She says:”For God’s sake, do something to return my father … I just want my father.”

The following is a part of Maryam’s letter to her father:

In the name of God
I just want my father

Father,
How shall I speak to you? I have a lot to tell you but I have no idea how to write.
Father. What a beautiful word is “Father”. When a baby begins to speak saying “Daddy” “Daddy” … how does her father feel?!! I don’t know the answer and father; you are not here to ask you. If you were here, you would not be able to answer my question because you haven’t seen me since I was born.

You were not here in all those years that you could hug and kiss me … you could see my first steps for walking …
You were captive in Ashraf and I was captive in the hands of my fate in my old grandfather’s house where he had to do your duties, without my mother who couldn’t tolerate your absence and left me to look for her own destiny.

Perhaps, when I was a child I was happier but after I was grown up ,I realized that I have mother and father but meanwhile I don’t have them with me. A mother who left her kid ,and a father who is captive in “Ashraf Prison”.

Father, what a cult it is that made you leave your family? What a morality that opposes the most sacred love…

The cult of Rajavi

Time Control within Rajavi’s Cult

Mind Control cults keep their members so busy with meetings and activities that they become too tired to think about their involvement.

“They have systematically arranged hard busy work schedule for members. So that they have no opportunity to think about anything else.” Writes Mohamamd Hussein Sobhani in his memoirs ; Dark Days of Baghdad, “even our eating time was planned, for example we had a snack time at 10 pm, it was called “The 10 O’clock break”. It was time to have a cup of tea and cookies according to a long-term tradition in the history of the organization”

Never-ending compulsory meetings and tasks is a sign of a cult

Defining a time table in MKO cult helped the leaders of the cult to control every moment of members’ lives. They assigned them when to get up, when to work, when to relax, when to watch TV …

According to HowCultsWork”, Time control also helps the cult keep their members immersed in the manufactured cult environment.

A look at MKO you tubes on the internet shows this aspect of cult-like practices in the destructive cult of Rajavi very clearly. For instance you can see a female member cleaning a tank so many times or you see them gardening or planting in Ashraf Camp. They are always made busy doing something even something of no use.

Besides, a time control helps keep cult members away from friends and family. They are never free to think of their family. As Batoul Soltani describes in her memoirs the only place she could look at her daughter’s photo (which she had hidden in her pocket) was in the bathroom.

CultWatch gives a key point to recognize a cult:

Never-ending compulsory meetings and tasks is a sign of a cult

Auver-sur-Oise

Formation of a cultic ashram in Auvers

The admirers of Vincent Van Gogh can hardly resist spending a few hours in the French village of Auvers-Sur-Oise where the great artist spent his last days. Describing the place in a letter addressed to his brother, the painter once wrote “Really, it’s seriously pretty; it’s open countryside, characteristic and picturesque”. He was right and it hasn’t changed so very much since then, except for the established headquarters of Mojahedin Khalq cult on Rue des Gords since early 1980’s. Known to be the residence of Maryam Rajavi, the cult’s vice-guru leading the organization in the absence of her husband, to many it seems like a castle of mystery that leaks no information of what is going on inside.

It was only on the morning of 17 June 2003 when French SWAT teams went over the walls and broke into its headquarters for the first time to discover what was going on therein. It was only a few months after Nicolas Sarkozy became Interior minister that the French authorities began to suspect cult practices and terrorist activities within the highly guarded headquarters. It was mostly because mobs of members were swarming back from Iraq to their French enclave following Saddam’s fall, a globally despised dictator to whom they were notoriously known to be serving as mercenary pawns. And the aroused suspicion in French authorities proved to be well justified.

The shocking finding was not many illegal instruments, communication devices and big sums of money discovered and seized, but the raid’s aftermath. Maryam Radjavi was arrested and as a protest, several members of the cult set themselves on fire. Parisian could not believe the human torches running right before their eyes in the broad daylight. The tragic scene is best depicted by the French reporter, Alain Chevalerias, in his Brûlé Vif (Burned Alive):

June 18, 2003, on Wednesday we were in Paris. Street Nelaton, in the 15th district, about ten individuals gathered in front of the offices of the ministry of the interior. They had the air of eastern people. Chanting vague slogans, they shook brandish flags and the big photos of a smiling woman in their hands. Without going to preoccupy building, the police officials ascended the markets of it to begin their operation. It was 9:25. It was hot.

Suddenly, a scream tore the air. A little further in front of the line of the aerial subway, the flames were flying in the air. A man ran in the scene. Policemen intervened. It was too late; In the dark a monstrous figure was standing on the restless ground of soubresaut. The victim was obvious. She was an Iranian. The same country as theirs, she was a 42 year old woman called Marzieh Babakhani. She wanted to sacrifice herself by the fire to obtain the liberation of the woman whose picture floated above the small assembled crowd, to some extent, in front of the ministry of the interior. Urgently transported to the hospital Cochin, the insured’s soul returned in the evening.

In the midday, having splashed gasoline on her another was transformed to the same place. She introduced herself Sedighieh Mohageri and said she was 38 years old. Later in the afternoon, Mohammad vakilifard, a man of 46 years repeated the fatal gesture. An epidemic of suicides by the fire seemed to win the planet: the very day, a man in Bern; the day before and the next day four in London; two again in Rome and another in Ottawa.

The human tragedy ended with two deaths. For Pierre de Bousquet de Florian, the director of the DST, the decision taken by authorities was justified, "There was a danger for our country and our fellow-countrymen”.

Now leading France as its President, Nicolas Sarkozy is counted on not to have forgotten about this very controversial organization in France and in the world and the dangerous bunch of cultists who are dominating Auvers-sur-Oise. Any cult needs to found its own ashram as did Franklin Jones in Lake County, California or that of David Koresh located in Mount Carmel near Waco, Texas. That is also the case with Mojahedin in the village of Auvers-sur-Oise, a complex that is highly controlled. The residents are not free to go wherever they want in spite of having obtained political refugee status in France; no gate opens to let anybody in or out unless they carry a required written authorization.

It will not take long to turn this picturesque French village into a complete ashram for Mojahedin Khalq if their comrades in Camp Ashraf join them with a show of good-will from the French part. And, of course, the shining, smiling pictures of Maryam Rajavi will outdo those of Van Gogh if French MIVILUDES (Inter-ministerial Mission for Monitoring and Combating Cultic Deviances) fails to take precautionary measures to fully monitor the activities of the organization. Eyes are needed to watch it from the within before it is too late.
