Via Glenn Greenwald, Daneil Denvir writes about former Governor Ed Rendell trying to explain why he shouldn’t be indicted for providing “material support” to the Iranian cult terrorist group MEK/MKO/PMOI:One 10-minute speech earned Rendell $20,000,…
Why, then, nearly two months after it was revealed that the Treasury Department is investigating former Gov. Ed Rendell for receiving money from a terrorist group to undertake just that sort of advocacy, has he not been indicted by the Department of Justice?..
MEK is listed by the U.S. State Department as a FTO, and for good reason. For years, it was a paramilitary arm of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, carrying out bombings and assassinations.In the 70s, MEK/MKO/PMOI assisted in the takeover of the American embassy ..
For some, it seems, although the MEK aka MKO/PMOI may be a terrorist group, it has the “right targets,” and therefore should be supported rather than banned.But the MEK is not simply a run-of-the-mill dissident group employing terrorist tactics. It is a bizarre and dangerous cult run by a strange and fanatical couple,The Rajavis..By legitimizing the MEK, Washington would lose almost all credibility when it comes to opposing terrorism.
a group of Iranians associated with Mujahedeen-e-Khalq, or MEK, were being trained in terror operations by the U.S. JSOC ..The so-called war on terror is not what it seems. America and America-based non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are arming and providing assistance to terrorists in Iran. America, NATO and NGOs are doing the same with al-Qaida terrorists in Syria. And they armed and provided air cover to al-Qaida terrorists in Libya.
The Mujahedin-e-Khalq–sometimes referred to as the MEK, the MKO, the PMOI, the NCRI or, perhaps more fittingly, “The Cult of Rajavi”–is a strange terrorist group by anyone’s reckoning…The MEK is just another tool in the West’s arsenal to wield against the villain of the month. As long as they are useful in bombing, attacking and otherwise causing carnage in Iran, the West will be happy to use them as pawns in their chess game. ..
HRW says the testimony of former MEK prisoners paints a grim picture of how the organization treated its members, particularly those who held dissenting opinions .. Other witnesses told Human Rights Watch claimed it was the practice of MEK interrogators to tie thick ropes around prisoners’ necks and drag them along the ground. One witness told investigators:”Sometimes prisoners returned to the cell with extremely swollen necks–their head and neck as big as a pillow.”
