First of all we should see the real facts which exist in the political atmosphere in Iran, Europe and Western countries about the PMOI. It is better to begin with a substantial question which contains many ambiguities which has surrounded public opinion about PMOI.
Why do western and European countries persist in supporting PMOI? Why is such a terrorist organization so important for foreign countries? Is it because of PMOI’s slogans, ‘democracy and freedom for Iranian people’ or is it because of their popularity among Iranian people?
I am not a politician but as an Iranian and as a victim of this cult (Rajavi Cult ) it is my right to ask those politicians either European or American, why are you supporting an organization which is cursed and abject among Iranian people? Why have you closed your eyes and your ears to the facts revealed by many witnesses who had been members of this organization for many years? I am a live witness who had spent more than two decades of my life in that organization. I am a real witness of their atrocities toward Iraqi and Iranian people. I am real proof of their violent and brutal internal relations. I have experienced all their savagery and brutality with my own flesh and bones for two decades. Why do not you allow me and others to share our experiences of their real entity and essence which is completely different than the thing which they endeavor to show and present in their external affairs by their professional agents?
This organization which you are supporting politically believes in violence and bloodshed and carnage. Their slogan and catchword is armed struggle. After the presidential election in Iran, we witnessed some unrest inside Iran which was totally and utterly peaceful and non violent. But the PMOI’s agents, who it sent specially to Iran, tried their best to beget bloodbath and carnage out of those peaceful demonstrations just for their organization sake. Many of those agents were arrested and confessed. Iranian people who stood up for their rights peacefully demanded their needs and demands from Iranian politicians peacefully, and interestingly in none of those peaceful rallies and demonstrations they did not mention even once the name of this organization. The people of Iran fought 8 years against the invasion of Iraq to their soil, so how can they support and back the organization which fought shoulder to shoulder with Saddam Hussein’s army against them? How can Iranian people forgive and forget their full cooperation and collaboration with Saddam Hussein in killing their sons and daughters during 8 years destructive war? How can Iranian people support such a treacherous organization which gave vital military and civilian information to Saddam Hussein to utilize that information to bombard and missile Iranian cities and kill innocent people? In Iran it is very rare that we can find a family who has not lost one of their relatives in that war. While I was in this organization, Iraq was ruled by the dictator Saddam Hussein. During those days in Iraq, especially in 1990 and 1991, the leadership of PMOI ordered their National Liberation Army (NLA) to fully cooperate and collaborate with the Iraqi army in the suppression of Iraqi people who stood up against the savagery and brutality of their dictator Saddam Hussein. Massoud Rajavi the PMOI spiritual leader and NLA commander in chief was in complete coordination and cooperation with Saddam Hussein and his army as they were considered as Saddam’s private army. They both had very productive relations with each other. Saddam Hussein utilized the NLA in gaining vital military information from inside Iran by PMOI’s military invasions in Iranian territory as well as in suppression of the rebelling people of Iraq who were fed up with Saddam’s atrocities, and in return Saddam Hussein equipped them with different kinds of arms and tanks, armored vehicles, ammunition, heavy artillery and vast and miscellaneous military training which was taught by Saddam’s high ranking officers, colonels and brigadiers, even Saddam’s Presidential Guard who were professional and specialist in guerrilla warfare tactics, gave a lot of guerrilla training to the members of this organization.
Now I take you to the PMOI’s internal relations in their garrisons and military bases throughout Iraq. It is first worth mentioning that all those garrisons and military bases were given to PMOI leadership as a gift in relation to their espionage services and military cooperation with Saddam Hussein’s army and his notorious intelligence service. In their internal relations we were under severe religious indoctrination and brainwashing methods every single day. The PMOI Leadership Council was in charge of brainwashing and indoctrination of all members. We were forced to accept Rajavi as our spiritual leader, and we had to obey him and his orders without any doubt. Any question and ambiguity toward his position and his orders and his political and ideological analysis were considered to be a deadly sin and no one dared to open his thoughts against him and his ideas, because of the awful consequences. The PMOI Leadership Council tried its best to force us to accept him and his wife, Maryam Rajavi, as holy leaders who were God appointed and God sent. We had to accept and believe that Massoud Rajavi and his wife were totally saint-like and sinless and no one dared to criticize their position or their orders. We had to accept and cave in to everything they were telling us without any rejection or objection. The PMOI leadership during years of treachery and treason in cooperation with the Iranian people’s enemy, Saddam Hussein, little by little converted to a religious cult. Rajavi tried his best to deceive his members by brainwashing them to believe that they were invincible and untouchable. He was preaching that each Mojahed could fight with 100 Iranian soldiers and guards. He was encouraging his members to persevere and fight till the end. But he and his wife, Maryam, were the first who escaped from their so called battlefield, Iraq, when the political and military situation turned against Saddam Hussein and his government. And their escape substantiated that all those sermons and war cry were just brainwashing and indoctrination methods to keep all those members captive in Rajavi’s cultic ideology, to stay in Iraq and die for him and his wife. Both Rajavi and his wife, Maryam, were preaching that Massoud Rajavi will guide each and every Mojahed to Paradise after their death. The Leadership Council even insisted on the doctrine that Massoud Rajavi is the same as Imam Hussein and that Maryam is the same as Hazrat Zeynab.
It is very strange for me to see that despite all kinds of crimes that this organization has committed during three decades, some American politicians and their European counterparts still support them and try to delist them from the terrorist list. I have heard many times directly from PMOI spiritual leader, Massoud Rajavi, in general gatherings in different garrisons and bases that everything said and posed by the PMOI external affairs’ agents in foreign countries such as USA and European countries are just political propaganda to be supported and backed by superpowers for gaining political power in Iran. And after that the PMOI will show its real face which is totally against USA and European countries, because in their real ideology and beliefs, which are purposely hidden, the USA is considered as the real obstacle which obstructs the Third World countries from making progress. In the PMOI ideology, the only way to get rid of this obstacle is by the utter annihilation and destruction of USA. For that reason the PMOI leadership after the fall of Saddam Hussein government ordered the PMOI members to destroy and burn all the books and newspapers, magazines, documents, even the PMOI archives which had any trace of their real opinion and thoughts about USA.
At the time of 9/11, while the twin towers in New York were annihilated by terrorists and as a result thousands men and women lost their lives, the PMOI leadership ordered a huge gathering in Bagherzadeh Garrison in Baghdad to celebrate that catastrophic event. I was there in that gathering and I saw with my own eyes as the PMOI leadership Massoud and Maryam Rajavi ordered all their members to celebrate, and Massoud Rajavi said during that meeting, “I said [before] that the USA is just a paper tiger and someday it will be destroyed utterly by the revolutionary people and today [9/11] is just the beginning.”
Despite of all the evidence and witnesses to the real entity of PMOI and its destructive ideology the only reason which crosses my mind why are they supporting the PMOI is that the PMOI is utilized as a bargaining chip vis-a-vis Iran. I am sure that all the politicians who know this organization are totally aware that this organization does not have any capability to overthrow the Iranian regime, because of the following reasons:
1. The average age of PMOI members is over 50 years old.
2. The lack of leadership in PMOI, because their spiritual leader is in hiding and he is not in control of his organization anymore.
3. The vast and profound dissent and discord among its members about the lies which their leaders have told them for many years just to keep them there.
4. The PMOI is too cursed among Iranian people living either in Iran or in foreign countries to be a political opposition.
5. Their criminal records in Iran, Iraq and even against American military advisers in 70’s.
So the question which remains is that while aware of all these facts which I mentioned above, why is the PMOI utilized as bargaining chip? I think the answer to this question is very clear. The PMOI cannot overthrow the Iranian regime by any means and for that reason the PMOI leadership decided to connect itself to the Superpower to ask them for the same thing that Saddam Hussein did for them for two decades. They think that by becoming a mercenary like they were for Saddam Hussein, they will have a chance to gain power in Iran. And this idea has been understood by western politicians, that the PMOI by itself is nothing and is crippled like they were in the past, so they can be easily and cost free be exploited and used as a bargaining chip against Iranian regime and its nuclear agenda. There is no doubt that the Superpower and European countries are totally aware of the real entity of this organization and I am sure and confident that they do not even think that PMOI has the slightest chance in Iran’s future because of their treacherous past. But even supporting
PMOI tactically will be considered as a gross insult to all Iranian people and all the victims of this cult who lost all their lives in that cult for nothing.
The European and western countries should accept this concrete fact that PMOI is politically dead in Iran and the Iranian people who are looking for change in Iran’s politics hate this organization and in their opinion PMOI are considered as traitors and spies who turned their back on the Iranian people during Saddam Hussein’s military invasion of Iran and worse of all, gave him their full cooperation. In the end as an Iranian and a victim of this organization I ask everyone to stop supporting this dangerous religious cult and please do not gamble and bet on a dead horse.
Hassan Piransar/ an expert on Rajavi’s Cult
The more we get inside Rajavi’s cult-like treasonous policies, the more we get to know about its alliance with Israel and American warmongers.
The most recent news on MKO’s servitude towards Israel and its interest for bloodshed was its fanfare on the opening of Bushehr Power Plant in Iran, citing from John Bolton, American controversial figure that it would be dangerous and military invasion to Iran would be necessary and hence the sanctions against Iran should be intensified.
Following the news of Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant, the positions taken by Israeli authorities and American John Bolton are very similar to that of MKO. Their interests are all against what Iranian nation believe.
Israelis’ reaction to the news was published by Reuters:
"Israel says Iranian reactor use ‘totally acceptable’ "[1]
Publishing a statement, Israel foreign ministry’s spokesman said:
"It is totally unacceptable that a country that so blatantly violates resolutions of the (United Nations) Security Council […] should enjoy the limits of using nuclear energy."[2]
John Bolton who was Maryam Rajavi’s special guest at MKO meeting in Taverny went further and asked his Israelis friends to attack Iran.
According to Agence France Press, John Bolton said:
"it will be too late for Israel to launch military strike against the facility."[3]
"If Israel is going to do anything against Bushehr it has to move in the next eight days." He added.
Former ambassador of US in United Nations emphasized that in the absence of an Israeli attack, "Iran will achieve something that no other opponent of Israel, no other enemy of the United States in the Middle East really has and that is a functioning nuclear reactor."[4]
The traitor Massoud Rajavi who had to find a new master after the fall of his ex-one Saddam Hussein, in order to gain some trivial scores among his new Western masters, launched a large propaganda campaign on fueling Iran’s nuclear power plant. MKO’s website claims "International supervisors say that the regime’s objective to invest on this power plant is to create a cover to lead its plans to achieve nuclear weapon."
But, as usual, the group didn’t name any international supervisor for such a comment. And the fact is that even Western governments including US and Britain confessed that Bushehr reactor was designed for peaceful civilian nuclear power.
"The United States does not see the fueling of Iran’s nuclear power plant in Bushehr as a "proliferation risk" ,State Department spokesman Parby holladay said .[5]
But Rajavi’s warmongers didn’t hesitate to write on their so-called NCRI’s website that "while international sanctions intensify pressures on Iran,[…] the director of the regime’s Atomic Energy Agency Organization declared that the locations for 10 centers of uranium enrichment centers were found."
But MKO’s website failed to recall that IRI regime is going to fall – as what they always claim – and wrote:" Iranian Resistance calls for complete sanctions including oil industry, trade, technology and diplomacy against Iran as a necessary approach to prevent Iranian terrorist from reacting atomic Bomb, and warns on any dangerous consequences of delay on this case under any pretext.
I think that the above – mentioned instances of Rajavi’s commitment to Israel and warmongers’ policies, clarify despicable substance of his cult.
Rajavi and his group, under any form, any cover and any slogan, have an only desire: War, Bloodshed against Iranian people , treason and spying for their financial sponsors.

Tom Tancredo’s Marriage to the Mojahedin Khalq (MEK, MKO, NCRI, Rajavi cult): Posterboy for Israel’s Infiltration of the American Right
The Washington Post and the international media inform us this week that it’s official: Former Republican Congressman Tom Tancredo (R-Colorado) is going to seek that state’s gubernatorial nomination as the candidate of the Constitution Party. For the record, I was the Constitution Party’s nominee in the U. S. Senate race in Delaware in 2000, opposing now-Senator Thomas Carper and the late William Roth.
 |
| Mark Dankof: The MEK/MKO/PMOI terror organization. Does it have the fingerprints of the CIA, Mossad, and MI6? |
But, as usual, the media (and many of the naive faithful in the Constitution Party) misses the real story: Tom Tancredo is a tool of the Israeli Lobby, a neo-conservative, and a warmonger for the Zionist State on the subject of launching a preemptive war against Iran.
This is not the first time that the national Constitution Party has promoted an Israeli asset at the national level in recent years . In 2008, Constitution Party founder Howard Phillips, chairman of Washington’s Conservative Caucus, was promoting Dr. Jerome Corsi of Harvard University as a prospective Presidential candidate for the fledgling conservative 3rd-Party-in-the-Electoral-Wilderness.
It takes less than 5 minutes on the Net to establish Corsi’s credentials as a neo-conservative, Zionist asset of influence on the American Right. An inspection of Corsi’s written archives for World Net Daily, the brainchild of Netanyahu’s buddy-in-residence, Joseph Farah, tells all that is needed to know about the good Harvard doctor. His book, Atomic Iran, might as well been authored by the agitation-propaganda assets for the Israeli intelligence establishment that Philip Giraldi informs us are using Rupert Murdoch’s media chain to deliberately disseminate false stories about what is transpiring with Iran’s nuclear program. As an excellent summation of Atomic Iran, Payvand’s Iran News carries a review of Corsi’s tome that reveals the extent of its connections to America’s Mossad-linked Neo-Conservatives.
But Corsi made one mistake in 2008. He appeared on my broadcast, “Mark Dankof’s America,” for the Republic Broadcasting Network. At that time, he shared with my listeners his ongoing travels to Israel, for consultations with his “advisors in the Israeli Knesset.” It was shortly after that revelation that he withdrew his name from the Constitution Party Presidential sweepstakes. It would be the end of his brief foray into electoral politics, but not the end of the bigger story.
The new posterboy for Israeli infiltration of American paleo-conservative parties and media outlets would appear to be Tom Tancredo. An examination of Tancredo’s published views in an interview with Right Wing News reveals what the London Financial Times depicted by photograph yesterday, in covering the ex-Congressman’s run for the Colorado governor’s mansion. He is working with the Mujahideen-e-Khalq (MKO)/National Council of Resistance in Iran (NCRI), the Communist-cultic terror organization, in assisting American neo-conservatives and Israel in facilitating “regime change” in Iran.
 |
| Hey, Mr. Tancredo: Is that the Hammer-and-Sickle in the MEK Logo? |
My recent work on the MKO, and my coverage of the Raymond/Constance Tanter divorce case, should tell every American paleo-conservative in either the Constitution or Republican Party about that organization—and who it is that Tom Tancredo is working for. It isn’t America. It’s Israel and the Jewish Lobby.
Right Web joins Right Wing News in chronicling the Tancredo world view as it pertains to both the MEK, the Neo-Conservative “clash of civilizations” ideology, and support for America’s alleged War on Terror. Here is a sample:
“A cultural warrior on the international front, Tancredo is an enthusiastic supporter of the Bush administration’s war on terror, including the war in Iraq. Tancredo, who is a consistent supporter of the Pentagon and U.S. defense industries, has become a leading spokesperson in the House for an Iran regime change strategy in which the People’s Freedom Fighters (MEK) would be the vanguard organization supported by the United States.
“Describing himself as a ‘devotee’ of Samuel Huntington and the thesis of his Clash of Civilizations treatise, Tancredo, like many on the right-from social conservatives to neoconservatives-bases his restrictionism less on economic reasons than on cultural and racial ones. ‘The threat to the United States comes from two things: the act of immigration combined with the cult of multiculturalism,’ argues Tancredo. ‘We will never be able to win in the clash of civilizations if we don’t know who we are. If Western civilization succumbs to the siren song of multiculturalism, I believe we are finished.’
“Concerning the war on terrorism, Tancredo stated: ‘I believe that what we are fighting here is not just a small group of people who have hijacked a religion, but it is a civilization bent on destroying ours. Radical Islam has been the foe of Christiandom for centuries. The most serious foe of Christiandom. The battle ebbs and flows, peaks and becomes less intense, but it has been going on for centuries. We have never really been bothered by it, because the world was a place in which you could not really attack the United States physically. There were oceans separating us and if you did come, what were you going to come with? A gun, a rock, an arrow? But today it has all changed; it has taken on a different dimension.’
“‘This combination, massive immigration and radical multiculturalism,’ warned Tancredo, ‘is a prescription for our own demise.’
“Violent Regime Change in Iran by Freedom Fighters Tancredo advocates U.S. support for the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK), a cult-like group that is cultivating a broad base of support among Iranian expatriates around the world. Mujahedin e-Khalq means ‘people’s freedom fighters.’ MEK affiliates are the Iraq-based National Liberation Army of Iran and the National Council of Resistance in Iran. MEK calls itself the People’s Mujahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI). The public face of the MEK is Maryam Rajavi, who has been designated by the MEK as the president-elect of Iran’s government in exile.
“Although identified as a terrorist organization by the State Department and accused of a pattern of human rights abuses, Tancredo says ‘We should be aiding them, instead of restricting their activities. We can use the MEK, they are in fact warriors. Where we need to use that kind of force, we can use them.’
“Together with Rep. Bob Filner (D-CA), Tancredo in 2005 formed the Iran Human Rights and Democracy Caucus.
“On April 6, 2005 the caucus convened a briefing on Capitol Hill organized by the Iran Policy Committee, the most prominent policy institute dedicated to advancing a U.S. government-supported regime change strategy that relies on the MEK as the main instrument of a violent revolution. At that briefing, Tancredo called for the Bush administration to remove MEK from the list of terrorist organizations. According to Tancredo, MEK was designated not because it was involved in terrorist activities, but because the Clinton administration sought to curry favor with the Iranian regime.
“Tancredo describes Maryam Rejavi as ‘very charismatic, she believes in women’s rights, she believes in democracy in Iran . I do support their efforts. I understand that the United States characterizes them as a terrorist organization, but what you have to understand is that they were identified as such only after the Clinton administration agreed to mollify the regime in Iran. They wanted to reach some kind of detente with Iran. Iran had only one demand, and that was that we put the Mujahedin-e Khalq on the terrorist list and so it was done for political reasons, not because they posed any threat to the United States.’
“On May 10, 2005 Tancredo organized another Capitol Hill briefing through the Iran Human Rights and Democracy Caucus that featured a variety of witnesses who spoke favorably of the MEK, including at least two U.S. military officials who had worked with the MEK in Iraq. On May 18, 2005 Tancredo took his support of MEK to the House floor when he asked that excerpts of the briefing be included in the congressional record. In his statement, Tancredo said that 65 political groups in Iraq had organized a petition signed by 2.8 million Iraqis that criticized Iran-sponsored ‘Islamic fundamentalism’s stealthy domination’ of Iraq and strongly supported the People’s Mujahedin Organization of Iran. Tancredo called the organization the ‘main Iranian opposition group.’ Describing the petition, Tancredo said its supporters demanded that ‘the PMOI should be recognized in Iraq as a “legitimate political movement”’-which is also one of the demands of the Iran Policy Committee.
“Tancredo and Filner, the co-chairs of the Iran caucus, offered their support to a pro-MEK rally in Washington on January 19, 2006. In a letter to the rally organizers, the Council for Democratic Change in Iran, the co-chairs of the House caucus, said, ‘We believe a possible alternative to the current government can be achieved through supporting the people of Iran and the Iranian resistance . We extend our solidarity to you and to the Iranian people and their defiance against tyranny.’
“The pro-MEK rally was endorsed by two U.S. Senators: Tom Coburn (R-OK) and Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX), and by four individual congressional representatives: Christopher Shays (R-CT), Ed Towns (D-NY), Bob Filner (D-CA), and Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX).
“By publicly supporting the MEK and the Iran Policy Committee, Tancredo has positioned himself with the most radical wing in the intensifying debate about how the U.S. government should pursue an Iran ‘regime change’ strategy. All sides that favor such a strategy agree that the U.S. government should be working more closely with Iranian dissidents both inside and outside Iran.
“Tancredo continues to be an enthusiastic supporter of the U.S. war in Iraq. In a section on his official website on Iraq, Tancredo says: ‘The United States did not invade Iraq to conquer it, but rather to set it free. The United States does not stand to gain territory, oil, or any other spoils of war. We all should be proud of that sacrifice.’
“Concerning the war on terrorism, Tancredo states: ‘Ultimately, I believe that the leadership of President Bush and the determination of the American people will result in the needed investments in technology, people, and weapons systems to combat, deter, and respond to future acts of brutality and terror by our enemies.’”
Alfred E. Newman and Tom Tancredo: Which one is "Mad" Magazine’s Poster Boy
So much for a political party that rejects “neoconservatism and American interventionism” and nominates Tom Tancredo. You can consign the Constitution Party to the ashheap of history, along with an Israeli-infiltrated Tea Party movement. As I pointed out in my past essay, “Controlled Opposition: The Tea Party Turds and the House of Rothschild’s Coming War with Iran,” the ongoing demonization of Iran and ad hominem attacks on Islam, are always accompanied by a complete ignorance of the history of the relationship between the Jewish Lobby and Israel on the one hand, and their malignant influence on America on the other. When the Tea Party’s well-publicized Nashville conference featured Neo-Conservative after Neo-Conservative, leading up to the grand finale of Sarah Palin’s gracing of the stage, I suggested the following:
“Try this one on for size. What would have transpired in Nashville if someone with access to podium as a scheduled speaker had said something on the order of the following?
“‘Ladies and gentlemen, why is the domestic and foreign policy of the modern American conservative movement and the Republican party being defined by a view of Biblical prophecy unheard of until the 19th century, and largely promoted worldwide by the House of Rothschild’s distribution of the Scofield Reference Bible through its Oxford University Press? Why are we in an alliance with a nation that has repeatedly committed crimes against the United States, including the Lavon Affair, Mossad involvement in the Kennedy assassination, the premeditated attack on the USS Liberty in June of 1967, the Pollard spy case, participation with Communist China in the theft of American nuclear secrets at Los Alamos through the PROMIS affair, and the more recent Ben Ami Kadish and AIPAC/Rosen/Weissman spy cases?
“‘Why are we in an alliance as American conservatives with a domestic Jewish lobby which has militantly supported and financed the radical feminist, abortion, and homosexual lobbies most of us are sworn to oppose?
” ‘Why are we, as a pro-life movement, committed to policies of genocide against the Palestinians and the advocacy of the mass murder of Iranians, at the behest of an “ally’’which is the chief nuclear, biological, and chemical military power in the Middle East, and a non-signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) signed, however, by Iran?
“‘And why, pray tell, are people here today in Nashville, talking about recovering American domestic liberty, in the context of ongoing obeisance to the chief players in a central banking cabal which has handed to us the direct federal income tax, the Federal Reserve Board, $13 trillion in national debt, and every globalist trade treaty that has destroyed American sovereignty and the manufacturing sector of our economy? Is Bernard Madoff going to show up next year as a Tea Party keynote speaker?
“‘And are Sarah Palin, Dick Armey, William Kristol, Mary Parker Lewis, Alan Keyes, Lou and Phillip Sheldon, Connie Hair, Judson Phillips, Mark Skoda, and Andrew Breitbart concerned that Israeli intelligence is promoting agitation-propaganda through the Rupert Murdoch News Corp chain designed to begin a Third World War?
“‘Frankly, ladies and gentlemen, there is only one word to describe these activities on the part of those who claim to speak for America, its Constitution, and its people, but who have been bought off by what I have just described. That word is treason.’
” Nashville clearly would have exploded. It should have. And the longer America First patriots delay the exposure of the Trojan Horse within the gates that should have transpired in Tennessee, the greater likelihood of the destruction of the Republic at the hands of the House of Rothschild, and the envelopment of the planet in the flames of a Third World War, courtesy of the Neo-Conservative dream of a ‘Clash of Civilizations.’“
To the list of agents of the House of Rothschild, you may add the name of Tom Tancredo.
And for the real history of the Mujahideen-e-Khalq and its affiliates, real American conservatives and patriots are invited to listen to my past broadcast with Dr. Paul Sheldon Foote on the subject. Dr. Foote is a Ron Paul Republican, ex-U. S. Army veteran in Vietnam , and past denizen of the American Embassy in Tehran decades ago. He is presently a professor at Cal State Fullerton. When accessing the interview on the Habilian Association web site in Iran, peruse the rest of the site, along with the web page of the Nejat Society.
You’ll learn what Tom Tancredo isn’t telling you. And who he’s working for. And who continues to deceive you.
And why they hate us. It isn’t because of our “freedoms.”
Mark Glenn is returning from sabbatical leave to resume his radio shows with me on The Ugly Truth. We will be talking about the Israeli-sponsored infiltration of the American Right, and the MEK, in future shows. Stay tuned real soon.
On July 26th, when MKO propaganda champagne held a gathering in Jean bouin stadium in a small town called Taverny, Maryam Rajavi had nothing to say except repeating her previous nonsense. She was even unable to present new ideas for MKO members. She could not suggest a solution for the mire MKO was stuck in although MKO made efforts to get rid of it.
I listened to Maryam Rajavi’s speech on Simaye Azadi[MKO’s TV channel] carefully. The conclusion I made was that she implicitly expressed depressing pulses just like those wrinkles on her face which signifies her senility.
As usual she repeated some mottos and clichés, crying loudly but there was no sign of her harmony with the modern world and its evolutions, neither no sign of understanding the reality in her words. The names and positions of people who attended the gathering as MKO sympathizers seemed also astonishing to me. Besides some trivial political figures including the mayors of Ouver Sur d’Oise and Taverny who were generously funded by MKO, you could see John Bolton former American ambassador in UN, who is anti UN and an anti-Iran neo-conservative. Maryam Rajavi might know better than everyone that inviting John Bolton to attend MKO’s gathering and to speak as an MKO sponsor, in fact signifies the refusal of all principals of the struggle once MKO founders insisted on. Being trapped by politic men of the alleged Imperialists and warmongers such as John Bolton and siding with such an anti-Iran person, shows an extreme scandal of the self-assigned president Maryam Rajavi.
A look at thoughts and personality of this warmonger element reveals shocking facts to those who still have a sense of nationalism and patriotism. These facts may clarify the border between right and wrong.
During his speech in the gathering, John Bolton clearly described his anti-Iranian ideas. "I don’t think that sanctions will prevent the regime from its nuclear weapon program. In my opinion, the sanctions can be helpful for the day the regime falls. We need much more than sanctions.
But, who is John Bolton? He is a senior member of American Enterprise Institute, Council of National Policy and an analyst of FoxNews, also an active member of Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs.
He is an extremist rightist neo-conservative who was imposed to Collin Powel by Dick Chenny the then American vice-president Iin order to supervise the moderate policies of that retired General. He believes that international treaties and even the UN limit America’s hegemony over the world.
At the time of the meeting of vote of confidence he resorted to dissimulation and deception so he could win 57 pro votes against 43 cons. During that meeting Jesse Helms, the extremist senator who approved the "Helms-Bolton" law to impose sanctions on foreign oil firms in order not to invest in Iran, supported her henchman John Bolton by saying words that revealed Bolton’s nature. "John Bolton is the kind of man with whom I would want to stand at Armageddon …[or what Bible calls] the last battle between good and evil."
Ian Williams, UN’s Washington Report correspondent is completely familiar with John Bolton. He warns:"it is not clear where Bolton stands on Armageddon, but it is clear he has the greatest sympathy with the Christian Right’s world view." among these rightist one may find Dick Chenny, Donald Ramsfeld and his under secretary Paul Wolfovitz. "It would be very dangerous to ignore Bolton’s statement. These are harbingers of endless wars" Williams continues.
Mrs. Maryam Azdanlou [Rajavi] probably invited John Bolton to her gathering despite her perfect awareness of his anti-Iranian views including "the relations of America with other countries should be like that of a hammer and a nail."
Richard Curtiss, a contributor to Washington Report reveals that "Bolton seems very dogmatic in his prejudices. He has champagned tirelessly against the International Criminal Court".
Bolton is a supporter of Wolfwitz’s "Opposite Domino Theory", according to Mark Perlman, a correspondent of Forward journal. Wolfowitz believes that invading Iraq would serve as a domino to extend the US’s influence in other parts of the region.
John Bolton who once played an important role in mobilizing the White House and Pentagon to invade Iraq, is now seeking more tensions between Washington, Tehran and Damascus Public opinion, believes that Bolton operates as a radical figure to create a balance against some American moderate politicians. Bolton views Iran and Syria as serious threats to Israel and never allows them to harm Telaviv’s security and esteem. During Bush, the father administration, he prevented the approval of a law that would see Zionism equivalent to Racism. Also, when in London he was asked why Washington would not take a similar approach towards Israel’s nuclear program, he answered:"the US is concerned about the threats against us and our allies ….we do not protect Israel but we protect the benefits of the US."
American famous journalists and experts think that what makes Bolton’s call for Iran’s ban (according to NPT) on its nuclear program funny, is that Bolton himself never believes in respecting international laws.
About four years ago, John Bolton declared clearly: "It’s a big mistake for us to grant validity to international law even when it may seem in our short-term interest to so."
Despite what public opinion expect "Bolton has been a staunch advocate of the Bush administration’s revival of the "Star Wars" missile defense system and its rejection of the anti-Ballistic Treaty." Richard Curtiss writes.
"John Bolton is to diplomacy as Jack the Ripper was to sugury, said Ian Williams to Nation Magazine.
Now, there is a question to ask Maryam Azdanlou: when you and other leaders of MKO terrorist cult are in the same campaign with anti-humane and anti-Iranian politicians and supported by them, what is your position?
Are you in position of a patriot or that of a traitor or our enemy’s mercenary?
By Arash Rezaiee
In contrast to the Iraqi Government’s reluctance to use violence to evacuate Camp Ashraf, the members of MKO, encouraged by their leaders, have warned that they will not be taken out alive.
That is to say, MKO has adopted a blind, antagonistic way of struggle against the preferably peaceful attempt by the Iraqis to end the increasingly tense stalemate with less bloodshed. Emboldened by its last July’s violent reaction against the Iraqi forces that left many casualties, MKO is preparing for further systematically organized defensive measures to defend its bastion against any similar move by the government. Although the terrorist and cultic nature of MKO well justifies speculations about its potentialities in application of violent and aggressive approaches, the assertions by the defectors is a given warning that the organization is busy preparing for a much bloody confrontation.
Stated by Alireza Fattahian, the defector who has recently managed to flee the terrorist cult, MKO has started a new round of training to bludgeon Ashraf residents into a bloody resistance and confrontation:
Hundreds of vehicles equipped with a variety of cameras are on a 24 hour patrol round the camp to announce red alert as soon as sensing any suspicious move. On Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays the members undergo self-defense trainings by using non-fire arms like knives and bow and arrows. The latter is so sophisticatedly made that easily penetrate any common protective jackets. They have also devised petrol-filled capsules wrapped in cloth that can be catapulted far away. Another creative weapon is a very sharp, short knife carried under clothes to be used in close man to man encounters. As there is an anchor rope that is used to pull away the forces. They have recently crafted a hand-grenade-like pack filled with wax-like material to stun whoever intends to harass their women members. They have prepared especial green, thick and shockproof military uniforms to ward off blows by the security forces. The trainings, started three months ago, begin from 6 in the morning to 12.
The disclosure that reveals only some aspects of MKO’s harsh defensive reaction against lawful measures to evacuate Ashraf has frustrated the group since it is recently engaged in a vast propaganda blitz to influence the public opinion and to show how it has been oppressed and victimized. No doubt, Ashraf is a crisis and tense stalemate the Iraqi Government has to deal with but it seems that it lacks the needed decisiveness and experience when coming to treat with an aggressive group like MKO. It is a proven fact that the more lenient it is toward the group to arrive at a peaceful solution the more aggressive and violent attitude the terrorists emit. The government’s withdrawal after the last July’s bloody clash with Ashraf residents, who demonstrated their potentialities in creating big crises through self-destructive practices, has emboldened them to strengthen for later encounters if the Iraqis ever dare.
In the interim, MKO anticipates that two outlooks will be possibly promising to reach a conclusion. First, to postpone, and if possible to wholly resolve, the issue of relocation and evacuation of Ashraf and second, to impose legal leverages on Iraqi authorities that, as Rajavi has reiterated, will be to the group’s advantages. At least the Iraqi Government, in its rather long tension with MKO, should have learnt that Rajavi never assents to any peaceful or moderate solution. But, does it mean that the tragic armageddon between the two is inevitable?
The answer can be either yes or no depending on the extent of the government’s cooperation with the defected members and benefitting their experiences that will be of advantage to it. Although the Iraqis have become familiar with some aspects of the terrorist cult, but to deal with a cult like MKO requires its own especial approaches since it is hard to evaluate the costs of encountering a terrorist cult that has already proved its potentialities in inflicting irreparable social damages and committing self-destructive activities.
Rajavi knows well that the closure of Ashraf is the beginning of its cult’s decline since nothing can guarantee what happens to the relocated members; it is the concentration of members and regular cultic instillations that ensures the integrity of the cult. The group needs a closed bastion under its own control so as not to wound the integrity of its central tenets that might cause permanent disillusionment and disintegration of the members. At the same time, it must sufficiently mute the active condemnation of internal and external critics and dissidents. Thus, a tragic end will be an inevitable solution which will put all costs on the Iraqi Government to hold it accountable for the bloods shed.
The Iraqi authorities must give serious considerations to the warnings of those who are detached from the body of the organization and can share valuable information and experiences. They have now the opportunity of taking advantage of the international supervising organizations and bodies as well as the media to fully control and watch the moves of MKO and its suspicious practices within the walls of Camp Ashraf before it is too late. At least, the public opinion, advocates of MKO and even the victims themselves will come to know who is the real responsible for any tragic event the organization is preparing to instigate at the ripe time.
Text of report under "news shadow" section headlined "Forming a terrorist organization with convergence of Monafeqin [MKO] and Rigi" published by Iranian newspaper Jaam-e Jam on 26 January
In continuation with Monafeqin [Mojahedin-e-Khalq Organization] terrorist group’s support to Abdolmalek Rigi and the terrorist organization active under his group as National Resistance Movement, several meetings were held for mutual support and co-operations in Karachi and Islamabad. A number of MKO commanders and Abdolmalek Rigi himself participated in these meetings.
In these meetings, it was agreed to form a new group called the Iran Mojahedin Armed Forces [Niruha-ye Mosalleh Mojahedin-e Iran] with the help of Rigi’s terrorist group and the MKO, the Jahan News quoted the informed sources as reporting.
Meanwhile, there were reports from Pakistan that some Iraq-expelled MKO elements by contacting the absconding, bandits and anti-system groups in Pakistani regions, particularly in Karachi and Islamabad, are in pursuit of attracting forces [manpower] to form a new armed organization that may likely lead to the creation of this organization.
Similarly, following the occurrence of the recent street unrests in Iran and Monafeqin’s announcement of their readiness to launch operations in the country, the American forces in Iraq have taken fresh initiatives for providing training to some Monafeqin forces in different fields.
A source with the Iranian Intelligence Ministry has announced the arrest of a number of Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MKO) terrorists in the anti-government protests that sparked in central Tehran. 
Protestors took to some central and downtown streets in Tehran, hijacking the Shia Muslims Ashura event during which people commemorate the 7th century death of Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) grandson, Hussein (PBUH).
The unnamed source was quoted by Fars News Agency as saying that protestors had attacked mourners participating in Ashura ceremonies and damaged public property and parked vehicles in central Tehran.
The protesters reportedly chanted slogans against top Iranian government officials.
According to the Intelligence Ministry source, a number of MKO terrorists were arrested in this connection
Rubaie told “Al Hayat”: the stability of Iran and Iraq is in the regional interest
LONDON – Raed Jaafar – The national security adviser Mowaffak al-Rubaie said the security and political stability in Iran is in the interest of the region in general and Iraq in particular, and warned that any political or security flaw in Iran would have a negative impact in the region in general and Iraq in particular, explaining that “Our intelligence confirms that during the manifestations of opposition, elements of the Mujahideen infiltrated among the demonstrators, giving rise to riots”.
Rubaie told “Al Hayat” that “the differences between the so-called Reformists and Conservatives in Iran focus on domestic issues more than specific foreign policy”. Referring to “the absence of major differences in the foreign policies of Iran”, he added “Whoever wins in Iran will not change the policy with Iraq since Tehran’s policy toward Iraq will not be much affected by the victory of any of the parties”, explaining that “foreign policy is almost uniform with the same constants”.
Rubaie said that the “Iraqi leaders governing the country now, and since the days of the late opposition to the regime of President Saddam Hussein, have strong historical ties with the ruling power in Iran now, the conservatives, from the top of the pyramid below them”. He continued: “They have been in power for a long time, such as the Republic’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and the others, and have close ties with the Iraqis, and that gives Iraq a particular role for the Iranian regime”.
He added: “But we do not know many Reformists, and we had no relations with them in Iraq despite their 8 years under Khatami. We were not in power (in the first two years after the occupation of Iraq) and there is no strong relationship with the Reformists, without that meaning any diminution of them”. He added that “the Conservatives understand Iraq more than the Reformists, as they have a clear record in support of the Iraqi opposition (during Saddam’s rule), and support for the political process after the fall [of Saddam]”.
Rubaie confirmed “we do not interfere in the internal affairs of Iran in any way, in a trend to prefer any party, but limit ourselves to respect the choices of and support the Iranian people and respect the existing system of the Constitution and laws, institutions and others in Iran”.
He added: “But from our point of view from outside and our knowledge of Iranian affairs, and our long experience, we believe that the vast majority of Reformers are part of the very essence of the Islamic system».
He added that “Our intelligence confirms the presence of very small groups, few in number, including elements of the Mojahedin organization in opposition to the regime, which infiltrated demonstrations in protest against the results of the presidential election, which escalated the protests and demonstrations into riots”.
Rubaie denied the possibility of infiltration of the «Mujahideen» from Camp Ashraf in Diyala province, into Iran to participate in the protests or the riots there, explaining that the Iraqi authorities overseeing the camp do not allow its members to get out, and added that “elements of the Mujahideen entered from several countries into Iran, not from Iraq, some of whom were already present, too, to stir up trouble”. He warned that the “high probability of migration is the opposite for these elements, therefore, we have enhanced our intelligence level of preparedness and readiness on the border with Iran, for fear of infiltration of the elements of the Mujahideen Khalq, and crossing the border into Iraq and their attempt to enter the Camp Ashraf”.
In addition, some criticized the Arab media, dealing with the repercussions of the Iranian presidential elections, as “short-sighted, as I believe that support for the Reformists can win the Reformists and weaken Iran”. This was seen as a “kind of revenge or wishful thinking”, stressing that “any instability in Iran, meaning the lack of stability in the region, especially the Gulf States and Iraq”. He said that “some of this is media-driven, non-political, professional”, referring to the “ethnic and racial factors which play a role in this area, such as Arabs and Shi’ites, and this demonstrates the short-sightedness of the media … considering that the stability of a large country like Iran in the region is a stabilizing factor for the entire region”.
Al Hayat (Arabic), London,
Despite the fact that Mojahedin have been accused of many criminal acts and terrorist activities in Iraq in the reign of Saddam including their alliance with him in suppressing Iraqi dissidents, misusing international humanitarian aid, Oil-for-Food program for example, as well as their current interference in the internal affairs of Iraqi government like intensifying religious and tribal conflicts, supporting terrorist groups, cooperating with problematic trends, the group’s hostile position toward Iraq has remained unchanged and they are still insisting on their illegal settlement therein.
It reveals that wherever settled, Mojahedin disregarding their wrongdoings and criminal acts, take a superior position toward the governments, individuals, and international bodies. This kind of relation has its roots in the totalitarian and absolutist viewpoints of Mojahedin and their methodology based on an authoritarian ideology that considers the outsiders as inferior. The organization regards itself the criteria of absolute truth in the world; a viewpoint that is evident in the position takings of Mojahedin in recent years. How a cultic-terrorist organization has managed to impose itself on the relations of governments and global society is an issue to be investigated in depth. In this regard, the mechanisms and levers of this strategy based on terrorist practices and threats have been repeatedly elaborated on.
The recent transitions in Iraq confirm that Mojahedin grab at all means and pay all costs to uphold their illegal settlement in Iraq to the point that they have even endangered the integrity and independence of Iraq asking for the extension of the presence of the US forces in Iraq. In other words, the independence and freedom of Iraqi citizens and government come to lie in the hands of a cultic and terrorist group.
As it was pointed out, Mojahedin assume the main role in all the challenges and issues of the region and even world to the point that this viewpoint has turned to a strategy of dealing with any government. It is much easy to prove that Mojahedin misuse international conventions as a subterfuge and seize the precious "protected persons status" for postponing their expulsion from Iraq. They will pursue their objectives through this trick as long as there is the least possibility of misusing international levers and also as experience shows, in case of failing they would change their strategy in a blink of an eye and discard no threat and cultic-terrorist practice for furthering their objectives.
An obvious example is their current status in which despite their illegal presence in Iraq, they have resorted to the trick of the "protected persons status" to evade the challenges. Bijan Niyabati, of the main ideologues of MKO, openly declares that in the present conditions, the "protected persons status" has replaced Mojahedin armed struggle and is a solution for ending the current crisis until the time when Mojahedin take back their arms:
The worthy alternative of status or the protected persons status, both in the previous and present critical conditions have guarantee, even far beyond any other practical means, the survival of the mentioned army forces.
France has borne the consequences of the unexpected terrorist activities of Mojahedin in various occasions like the negative reaction of the organization after the banishment of a number of MKO members to Gabon, Masoud Rajavi’s expulsion from France, and Maryam Rajavi’s arrest in the form of cultic self-immolations that ended in the submission of judiciary system of France. Despite the fact that at the time being a minor part of MKO members reside in Auvers-sur-Oise, France has paid considerable costs for its negligence and multi-purpose policy toward the organization let alone the time when the remnant members of MKO enter France. There is no doubt that Mojahedin would be expelled from Iraq in near future and pursue their current policy wherever they settle.
France has to act logically in case of the transfer of Ashraf residents to its soil and foil the efforts of Mojahedin in preventing their host to make any decision for their location even if it makes them ally with the opposition groups and parties of the refugee givers or commit terrorist activities therein as they did in Iraq. As long as Mojahedin make use of the lever of cultic practices like self-immolation, referred to by Rajavi as a human disaster, governments are forced to surrender and grant a portion of the absolute rights of their citizens to Mojahedin as a cost for their humanitarian and altruistic viewpoints. The opportunistically ever-changing strategy and ideological doctrine of Mojahedin helps them to end their challenges. As Rajavi has repeatedly stated in the internal relations, all governments, and superpowers in particular, surrender to the activities of the so-called daredevil individuals (MKO members) due to their conservative inclinations and it suffices for MKO’s success and paves the way for the achievement of all its objectives.
“MEK played a prominent role in repressing the intifada in the southern Iraqi cities in 1991 as it sent forces from the organization to the cities of al-Amara and Diala, as the former regime did not 
rely on its soldiers more than relying on the MEK fighters in this particular respect,” Batoul Soltani said in a press conference she held in Baghdad on Saturday.
On whether she was read to stand before the Iraqi judiciary regarding her involvement in repressing the intifada, Soltani replied, “I am ready to stand before the Iraqi courts to give my testimony on this case.”
“MEK used to back militias inside Iraq by training them and have them infiltrate the present Iraqi institutions,” Soltani, a former member of the MEK leadership council, said, declining to name those “militias.”
The 1991 uprisings were a series of rebellions in southern and northern Iraq in the aftermath of the Gulf War.
The revolts in the Shia-dominated cities of Basra and al-Nasiriya broke out in March 1991, sparked by demoralized Iraqi army troops returning from Iraq’s defeat in the Gulf War.
Another uprising in the Kurdish areas of northern Iraq broke out shortly thereafter. Unlike the spontaneous rebellion in the south, the uprising in the north was organized by two rival Kurdish parties: Massoud Barazani’s Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) and Jalal Talabani’s Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK).
Although they represented a serious threat to his regime, former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein was able to suppress the rebellions with massive force and maintain power, as the expected United States intervention never materialized.
The uprisings were eventually crushed by the Iraqi Republican Guard, which was followed by mass reprisals and intensified forced relocations. In a few weeks, tens of thousands of civilians were allegedly killed.
The prime defendant in this case is Ali Hassan al-Majid, alias Chemical Ali, who was condemned to death on charges of crimes against humanity in the al-Anfal case, in his capacity as former commander of the Southern Zone, based in Basra, and member of the dissolved Revolutionary Command Council.
Other defendants include Sultan Hashim, the former Iraqi defense minister; Hussein Rashid al-Tikriti, former assistant chief of staff; Saber Abdul-Aziz al-Dori, the former chief of military intelligence; Sabaawi Ibrahim al-Hassan, former President Saddam Hussein’s half brother; Abad Hamid Mahmud, Saddam’s personal secretary; Abdul Ghani Abdul Ghafour, a former Baath Party official; Saadi Taama Abbas, the former minister of defense; Iyad Fatieh al-Rawi, former chief of staff and a Republican Guard commander; Latif Mahal Hamoud, former Basra governor; Sufyan Maher al-Tikriti, also a former Republican Guard commander; Iyad Taha Shehab, a former intelligence chief and Walied Hamid Tawfiq al-Naseri.
Soltani said she has heard from MEK chief Massoud Rajavi after the fall of the former regime in 2003 that the handover of their weapons to the U.S. side was a “tactical plan,” adding “MEK boasts a very strong intelligence system”.
The defector said she has spent more than 20 years of her life inside Camp Ashraf before she managed to escape a couple of years ago. Soltani has come to Iraq in 1986 with her husband using a fake passport and remained inside the camp until she was able to run away after the 2003 fall of the Saddam Hussein regime.
PMOI is a militant Islamic Socialist organization that advocates the overthrow of Iran’s current government.Founded in 1965, the PMOI was originally devoted to armed struggle against the Shah of Iran, capitalism, and Western imperialism.The group officially renounced violence in 2001 and today it is the main organization in the National Council of
Resistance of Iran (NCRI), an “umbrella coalition” parliament-in-exile that claims to be dedicated to a democratic, secular and coalition government in Iran.The group has had thousands of its members for many years in bases in Iraq, but “they were disarmed in the wake” of the 2003 US-led invasion and “are said to have adhered to a ceasefire.”The PMOI’s armed wing is, or was, called the National Liberation Army of Iran (NLA).
The Iranian government officially refers to the organization as the Monafeqin (literally, “Hypocrites“), maintaining that PMOI is not truly Islamic.The United States, European Union (EU), Canada, Iraq and Iran have designated the PMOI a terrorist organization.Although the European Court of Justice has overturned the EU designation in December 2006, the Council of the EU declared on January 30, 2007 that it would maintain the organization on the blacklist.
Camp Ashraf, which lies in the province of Diala, 57 km northeast of the Iraqi capital Baghdad, exists since the 1980s. The PMOI members in Iraq were collaborating with the former regime of Saddam during its war with Iran from 1980 to 1988.
Soltani called on the Iraqi government to “target all the leaders of the MEK,” expressing readiness to help the Iraqi government on this.
“There are about 3,000 MEK fighters whose hands are tied under the strong control of Massoud Rajavi and Maryam Rajavi. They do not have any media channels to exprss themselves and for more than 20 years they have been hearing nothing except the voices of those leaders,” noted Soltani.
