A wave of American leaders have illegally lined up to get their slice of the MEK/MKO/PMOI bankroll for speaking on their behalf…The end-game of all this bought and paid for rhetoric is a writ entered on June 1, 2012 to the United States Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C. asking Hillary Clinton, to review the designation of MEK ..
MeK is treated differently because they are Our Terrorists. NBC News reported that “deadly attacks on Iranian nuclear scientists are being carried out by an Iranian dissident group [MeK] that is financed, trained and armed by Israel’s secret service,” while The New Yorker‘s Seymour Hersh detailed in April that the U.S. has provided…
Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and the Representative of the Secretary-General of the United Nations in Iraq Martin Kobler agreed to close the file on the Mojahedin Khalq organisation aka MKO/MEK/PMOI and move them accordance with established deadlines. The statement said …
The MEK is engaged in a multifaceted effort to get off the list, and, as part of its strategy, supporters of the group have recruited prominent former lawmakers and government officials from both parties to appear at pro-MEK events in both the U.S. and Europe. Some of these advocates have received tens of thousands of dollars for their appearances.
While ex-US officials are receiving money from the MEK/MKO/PMOI, rather than providing it, the tolerance of the close work with the group has been a Washington oddity for some time. There’s some”enemy of my enemy is my friend”logic around this ..and some of its advocates view it is a government in waiting..But the group has limited support inside Iran
“It is past time for the MeK to recognize that Ashraf is not going to remain an MeK base in Iraq,” said Ambassador Daniel Benjamin, State Department coordinator for counter-terrorism, on the call. “The Iraqi Government is committed to closing it, and any plan to wait out the government in the hope that something will change is irresponsible and dangerous.”
What doesn’t make any sense is how so many prominent figures could be so thoroughly ignorant about the background of an organization whose cause they are promoting. At some point, the ignorance defense isn’t credible. Since the MEK’s aka MKO/PMOI American advocates obviously know so little about the group’s history, why should anyone else trust their judgment when they say that the group shouldn’t remain on the FTO list?
The Mujahideen-e Khalq aka MEK/MKO/PMOI will never have the necessary popular grassroots to carry the banner of a future revolution against the Islamic Republic of Iran…While the MEK has an extensive public history of violence in Iran, the pinnacle of its repugnance in the eyes of many Iranians came during its cooperation with Saddam Hussein’s Iraq
In order to penetrate into Iran MEK militants need to use territories of neighbor countries. However, permission of neighbor countries for it is not required. They may apply various methods that the terrorists use like entering different countries under different names through which they can enter Iran..Azerbaijan itself would be interested in cooperation with Iran to prevent MEK militants
Former director of the Mossad Meir Dagan told a senior US official in 2007, as revealed in a State Department cable published by WikiLeaks that the US and Israel should exploit disaffected minority groups in Iran in order to “change the ruling regime in Iran.”As recently as 2007, a State Department report warned that the MEK, retains “the capacity and will” to attack “Europe, the Middle East, the United States, Canada, and beyond.
