..And in 2004 MEK was still actively involved in planning and executing attacks according to FBI investigation documents released in May under the Freedom of Information Act. A joint investigation between Los Angeles-based agents and German police recorded phone calls where MEK/MKO/PMOI members discussed operations.

Mark Dankof: U.S. support for MEK and PKK against Algiers Accord

Nejat Society0108 views

… go back to January 1981 the so-called Algiers Accord when the US committed itself to never intervening or interfering again in the internal affairs of Iran. Obviously when you look at what’s happened in the last 30 years we (US) have trampled all over the Algiers Accord and our support for PJAK; our support for the Mujahidin-e Khalq; and our support for Jundallah is clearly evidence of the fact that we are perpetually intervening in Iran’s business engaging in acts of terror and cross border incursions that are absolutely illegal and reprehensible. It’s a simple contra indication of everything the American government claims to stand for …

Paul Sheldon Foote: Terrorist groups exist because someone wants them to

… They have existed throughout those regions for a number of reasons: one is strong American support. Even though the American government denies it, it’s been reported by Seymour Hirsch in The New Yorker; it’s been reported by Laura Rosen in the War and Peace Blog. They can deny it all they want, but we do strongly support it — independent journalists have gone through the region and videotaped all these communist terrorist groups and they all admit they are working with the American government. They also of course have strong support from Israel. What the American media doesn’t bother to report is …

Nejat Society084 views

Most of the criticisms of the PMOI today converge on what is perceived to be their pursuit of power. The event in Paris did nothing to dispel such criticisms. It was undoubtedly led and orchestrated by genuine PMOI activists, but it is less certain how convinced the others present were about the gathering – people who had been offered an inclusive free trip to Paris.What they discovered when they got there was that they would not see Paris, but only a huge exhibition hall in Villepinte, with no shops, kiosks or even benches to sit on in the visible vicinity. While remaining sympathetic to the plight of the Iranian people, many seemed disappointed at being used to make up the numbers..

I suppose one could argue that Iranian public opinion shouldn’t affect what the U.S. government decides to do, but the MEK’s lack of support inside the country where it is supposedly the “most important” opposition group shows that the advocates for the MEK/MKO/PMOI are just repeating falsehoods they’ve been told to say…The organization engages in terrorist activity or terrorism, or retains the capability and intent to engage in terrorist activity or terrorism

France step nearer to putting MKO back on EU list

… the Advocate General, nevertheless, does not find France’s position unreasonable. In strict accordance with the General Court’s Rules of Procedure it was not possible for that Court to offer the Council any assurance that the confidential information would not, at some point, have to be communicated to PMOI. As a result Advocate General Sharpston suggests that changes be made to the Rules of Procedure and principles be outlined so as to allow the use of such confidential information where necessary to combat terrorism whilst simultaneously ensuring respect of the rights of defence and the right to effective judicial protection …

War With Iran? US Neocons Aim to Repeat Chalabi-Style Swindle

Nejat Society089 views

Pressure to remove the MEK from the State Department’s Foreign Terrorist Organizations list is a cynical ploy by the neocons that can have only negative consequences for both the United States and Iran. It would allow an Islamic radical terrorist group to operate freely in the United States..Instead of legitimizing the MEK aka MKO/PMOI, we call on the law-enforcement agencies to investigate the illegal activities of this group, their funding and their allies. After all, they are still on the US State Department terrorist list..
