IPC: Terrorist Financial Involvement

Nejat Society — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 00:00:00 +0000

Rajavi cult Lobbyist exposed In a video posted online, Professor Raymond Tanter has denied that the Iran Policy Committee (IPC) is a lobbyist for the Iranian Communist MEK (MKO, PMOI, NCRI, Rajavi Cult, or Pol Pot of Iran) terrorists. The MEK is a communist terrorist organization responsible for killing large numbers of Iranians and Iraqis. The MEK has murdered American military officers and Rockwell International employees. In 2003, American and coalition forces attacked the communist terrorists at Camp Ashraf , Iraq . Now, the American military is protecting these terrorists. In June 2003, some members of the Rajavi Cult burned themselves in France and elsewhere to protest the arrest of a cult leader in France . However, published financial disclosures of the IPC show that Professor Tanter claims to work 20 hours per week for the IPC and receive only $5,000 per year in compensation. A September 2, 2007 meeting in France with NCRI leaders to negotiate an American divorce settlement provides a lead as to the financial arrangements between the IPC and the NCRI. On September 2, 2007, Professor Raymond Tanter and his wife, Constance Andresen-Tanter, met in France to discuss a proposed divorce settlement for a divorce case in America with Mohammad Mohaddessin and Sarvenaz (“Sarvi”) Chitsaz. Clare Lopez, a former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) employee and the former Executive Director of the Iran Policy Committee (IPC), testified in support of Constance Andresen-Tanter at a hearing before Associate Judge Michael Ryan about her involvement in this meeting: Tanter vs. Tanter, Superior Court of the District of Columbia , Family Division, Docket Number CPO3612-07, March 6, 2008.

Mohammad Mohaddessin is the chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), the political front for the Iranian Communist MEK terrorists. http://www.ncr-iran.org/

He is the author of a book, Enemies of the Ayatollahs. See also an interview with him:

http://www.meforum.org/article/267

Sarvenaz (“Sarvi”) Chitsaz is the Chairwoman of the Women’s Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI). She speaks and writes about the plight of women in Iran . Her failure to defend Constance Andresen-Tanter in the divorce case provides additional evidence of the lies of the Rajavi Cultists about caring about women. For truthful accounts about mandatory divorces, assigned marriages, and other bizarre cult practices of the communist terrorists, read: Anne Singleton’s Saddam’s Private Army and Masoud Banisadr’s Masoud.

Tanter’s Denial

US Intelligence on Iran & the MEK

Friday, 30 March 2007

This investigative report produced by the Dateline programme probes into the role of the Mujahedin-e-Khalq (the MEK) in providing intelligence related to the Iranian nuclear programme to the US . The MEK is a listed terrorist organisation, which is amongst the world’s most equipped and well armed, having under its control a functional military capability. Following the historic and infamous Iraq intelligence failures, this report questions once again the credibility of US intelligence sources.

Divorce Settlement in France

There has been a divorce case (07 DRB 102) in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia , Family Court, Domestic Relations Branch, before Associate Judge Michael Ryan. However, on September 2, 2007, Raymond Tanter and Constance Andresen-Tanter met in France with NCRI leaders to negotiate a divorce settlement. Raymond Tanter offered to withdraw his petition for divorce and to pursue a non-contested divorce if Constance Andresen-Tanter would accept the return of her personal property in Apartment 507 of Alban Towers in Washington , DC plus a payment schedule for payments of $30,000 for bills and of $150,000 for her new life. At a hearing on March 5, 2008, Associate Judge J. Michael Ryan reviewed this settlement offer.

Defend Constance Andresen-Tanter

While Professor Raymond Tanter and the NCRI can pay large sums of money to attorneys, Constance Andresen-Tanter has no access to enough money to defend herself in court. Lawyers, political leaders, Internal Revenue Service (IRS) officials, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), members of the media, literary agents, anti-war activists, women’s organizations, anti-communists, and opponents of the neo-conservatives (neo-Trotskyites) should come to the defense of Constance Andresen-Tanter and learn what is really happening at the Iran Policy Committee.

Open Letter to Raymond Tanter on His Siding with Terrorists

Nejat Society — Thu, 29 May 2008 00:00:00 +0000

Dear Raymond Tanter,

As people say, the truth will out. That is to say, there will come the day when your real intention behind supporting Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) is brought to light. It appears that the main goal behind your advocating of MKO is to bring democratic change in Iran through recognition of the organization as the sole legitimate, pro-democratic alternative. You know, as we believe, that the very made claims proves no legitimacy since there are costs to be paid. In the same way that costs work to ascertain any legitimacy, they can discriminate between the intentions of good or evil.

The current terrorist operations in Iran, allegedly masterminded and carried out to change situation in Iran, is of the type that can well decide the accuracy of your claims concerning the establishment of democratic change. Reportedly, an Iranian opposition identified as the Kingdom Assembly of Iran claimed responsibility for Shiraz Mosque attack on April 12 killing a number of innocent civilians. The operation was in many ways similar to those perpetrated by terrorist MKO. Surprisingly, the group’s issued statement claiming responsibility for the attack was identical with those issued by MKO. It seems that these operations, occurring concurrently with your attempts to take MKO out of terrorist lists, induces you to feel under obligation to take a clear position for or against such terrorist activities that will help best explain the real intention of supporting MKO.

Such acts of violence, regardless of imposing heavy costs on Iranian people, have the merit of challenging your siding with a party in general. No doubt, MKO and its advocates’ meaningful silence over the Kingdom Assembly’s terrorist assault have to be justifiably explained for the Iran Policy Committee and whoever struggles for a free, democratic Iran. Otherwise, there would be assumptions that your passivity in taking any position means a contradictory-nature approval of terrorism for a democratic cause.

In many occasions through the past three decades, you approved MKO’s terrorist deeds against Iranian people referring to them as ‘legitimate defense’ long after the group had ceased terrorist activities. Now it is different since MKO and you insist to be pro-democratic and logically, you have to take a clear position in the face of terrorism and the Kingdom Assembly’s terrorist operation in particular to prove sincerity of the claims.

There is also a supposition that you back up MKO seeing as its militarism potentialities have reached a stalemate which would be regenerated being removed from the terrorist list. The supposition emerges to be closer to truth when one sees you move to acquit Mojahedin of terrorist atrocities they themselves have accepted the responsibility of perpetration. Furthermore, you prefer to remain silent over a bloody terrorist deed committed by a similar group. It would not be improbable that you take a siding of supporting the Kingdom Assembly of Iran as well.

A point to be noted, MKO has repeatedly announced political illegitimacy of Monarchist groups and slams their political activities as opposition. The group has also discarded these groups having any share in NCRI’s interim government and believes they are close accomplices to the Islamic Republic ruling. Surprisingly, the proven fact is that in the present critical conjuncture there has developed an alliance among MKO, the Monarchist groups and you as their advocates notwithstanding all pretentions of disagreement. Naturally, the best taken strategy at the present would be to keep silent for fulfilling the greater cause of regime change in Iran. It is even probable that you stand up for any military and terrorist stratagem against Iran which might explain in reaching out for any reason why a blacklisted terrorist group is taken for a pro-democratic group.

Dear Raymond Tanter,

For sure, what might happen in future fails to be the outcome of some imposed wills and that is too appealing that no fate is sealed. In the course of events curtains may fall to reveal truths and dreamers will be the real losers. Now there is an opportunity, in spite of being a condemned tragedy that has touched all men’s consciences, that helps to assay sincerity of claims that have become confusing by your supporting MKO. For the cause of your obligation to moral-political considerations be sure of the propriety of an appropriate position taking and give priority to your political prestige and stature over any supposed political interests.

Yours Sincerely,

Mojahedin.ws

Raymond Tanter’s Quest to Free Iran

Nejat Society — Sun, 09 Mar 2008 00:00:00 +0000

Irving Kristol, a founder of neoconservatism, once said that a neoconservative is a liberal who’s been mugged by reality. At Georgetown, we have Raymond Tanter, a conservative who’s had his bike stolen. After the theft, he got a new chain intended for motorcycles, which looks more appropriate in the hand of a wrathful Hell’s Angel than a dapper Georgetown professor.

“That’s a heavy bike. The lock is over here, you’re not even reaching the lock, he said before leaving campus to bike to Capitol Hill to talk with members of Congress (he wouldn’t reveal their names) about his plan for solving America’s problems in Iran and Iraq: relying on a group the State Department calls terrorists.

As the president of the Iran Policy Committee, a non-profit organization that promotes using Iranian oppositionists against Iran, Tanter is a tireless booster for the Mujahedin-e-Khalq (MEK), an armed group of Iranian exiles that seeks to overthrow the Iranian government. Its efforts are hampered by its placement on the State Department’s list of foreign terrorist organizations, a classification Tanter says should be reversed so the MEK can counter Iran. Still, dressed in a matching plaid blazer, pants and bow tie, Tanter doesn’t look like a Washington lobbyist. Only the phone clipped to his belt suggests that he is tied to a worldwide effort to change U.S. policy on a controversial army that the Council on Foreign Relations estimates has 10,000 members. Tanter does not consider himself a lobbyist”because the MEK is considered a terrorist group, advocacy on their behalf is illegal. The Thinker Professor Raymond Tanter says the Iranian rebel group Mujahedin-e-Khalq can reduce Sunni terrorism in Iraq and counter Iran’s ayatollah regime. EMILY VOIGTLANDER “I’m not an advocacy group either, I’m 501©(3),” he said, referring to the tax provision for non-profit groups. The Iran Policy Committee is a 501©(3). We educate the public, we don’t advocate.” Tanter has been busy educating people on both sides of the Atlantic in the past year. In addition to meeting with Congress, Tanter spoke in the British Houses of Lords and Commons last year and met with members of the European Parliament in Belgium. At the beginning of February, he held a press conference in France calling for the delisting of the MEK-linked National Council. I’m on a roll, don’t you think he said of his recent activities abroad. The MEK has been on the State Department’s list of foreign terrorist organizations since 1997 and has been blamed for killing civilians and American military personnel before the 1979 Iranian Revolution. A one-time ally of Iran’s religious government, the MEK was exiled and fought on the Iraqi side in the Iran-Iraq War. The group, which has a largely female officer corps, has been tied to numerous violent incidents; a 1981 bombing attack of the Iranian government killed 70 high-ranking officials. The MEK also allegedly helped Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein in the bloody suppression of Kurdish and Shia rebellions in 1991, though the group denies involvement. Recently, the MEK has provided the United States with information about sites suspected to be involved in an Iranian nuclear program. During the 2003 invasion of Iraq, the American military bombed the MEK camp until a ceasefire was reached with the group that allowed it to keep its camp in exchange for not fighting Coalition forces. The MEK was not disbanded after the war, avoiding the fate of much of the Iraqi military, and Human Rights Watch reported in 2005 that the MEK’s base was used to hold prisoners for the U.S. government. While the United States and the MEK coexist in Iraq, their relationship is different in this country. In 2002, the State Department shut down the Washington offices of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, an umbrella group to which the MEK belongs. According to Tanter, treating the MEK like terrorists is counterproductive to American interests. In his evocatively-titled books Baghdad Ablaze and Appeasing the Ayatollahs and Suppressing Democracy, he promises a plethora of benefits to come from removing the MEK from the terrorist list: it would wean Sunnis from the insurgency and break the cycle of sectarian violence in Iraq and help democratic forces establish liberty in Iran.

When he taught at the University of Michigan, Tanter helped convince prospective athletic recruits to choose the Wolverines. Now that he’s at Georgetown, he insists he’s not trying to recruit his students to his school of thought. “I’m not a preacher, I’m a scholar,” he said. In his class, Terrorism and Proliferation, Tanter uses an aggressive cold calling technique, imploring some students to “be Googling!”, others to challenge their classmates and one girl to smile. Tanter uses his connections with special guests to surprise his students, he once made them present threat assessments to Iranian dissident Alireza Jafarzadeh and former Spanish president JosÃ© MarÃa Aznar.

during another class, former Polish president Aleksander Kwasniewski discussed threats from Iran and Russia, and complimented the class on their presentations (he offered to send one student’s analysis to the Polish foreign minister).

“I’m probably in over my head,” Devon Cohen (SFS “˜10), one of Tanter’s students this semester, said, “But I love the class.” Tanter is aggressive about his views in class, according to Cohen. “It’s kind of his way or the highway in his perspective,” she said. Tanter runs his class imperiously, telling students and presidents alike to speak louder or stand up when they talk. “I do sound like a general, don’t I? Maybe a colonel,” he said, adding that despite his work on Iran he remains dedicated to teaching. Tanter and his students frequently refer to his books about Iran and the MEK in class, though some question his estimate of the MEK’s power to change Iraq and Iran. Russ Greene (SFS “˜09) critiqued Tanter’s optimistic assessment of the group’s abilities in class, noting that It kind of sounds like [Tanter is] a lobbyist for the MEK.” “I forgive you for calling me a lobbyist,” he replied. Once, while Tanter was a professor at Michigan, pro-Palestinian activists disrupted a speech he was giving. “The protesters laid down on the ground and forced the security people to pick them up,” he said. “They put on YouTube that this was violence against students.” While nothing similar has happened at Georgetown, some on campus, like Daniel Byman, the director of Georgetown’s Center for Peace and Security Studies, oppose Tanter’s positive view of the MEK. 50,000 Strong for the MEK Last June, 50,000 Iranians rallied in Paris for Maryam Rajavi, the leader of the MEK. Courtesy THE NATIONAL COUNCIL OF RESISTANCE OF IRAN “I generally agree with the U.S. government’s view that it is a terrorist organization,” he said, adding that he did not think the MEK should be taken off the Foreign Terrorist Organizations list. “It would anger some Shia groups we’re having trouble with.” Byman did not discount Tanter himself, though, saying that despite their different views, he considers Tanter “serious.” “I work in hot topics,” Tanter said, trying to explain the breadth of issues he has covered in his government and teaching jobs. Tanter’s career plays like a highlight reel of American foreign policy crises: he has written books about Lebanon, Vietnam and rogue states, and was the personal representative for Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger at multiple arms control meetings. Tanter came to Washington after 9/11 because he “wanted to be closer to the action.” Here in D.C., besides teaching and running the Iran Policy Committee, Tanter has worked with the Department of Justice on terrorism issues.

“I think Professor Tanter has played an important role in igniting a debate in Washington about a policy option that was before him limited to Congress,” Alireza Jafarzadeh, a former spokesman for the National Council of Resistance of Iran, the umbrella group that includes the MEK which had its Washington office closed, said. In 2002, Jafarzadeh gave the United States information which he said demonstrated a budding Iranian nuclear program.

“There was a lot of talk in the U.S. Congress supporting the idea of regime change through relying on the Iranian opposition,” Jafarzadeh said. “But Professor Tanter made that an academic debate, a debate among the think tanks, the experts doing research on it, giving it much more depth than it was before.”

Tanter can’t remember when he started wearing bow ties, which have become, like the MEK, linked to his public persona. “I’ve been bow-tieing forever, “ he said. The bow ties have contributed to Tanter’s reputation as a snappy dresser””in an article on the MEK, MSNBC called him “nattily dressed.”

After working for the Department of Defense and teaching at several American universities, Tanter was appointed to Ronald Reagan’s National Security Council in 1981 (he also worked on Reagan’s 1980 presidential campaign). Asked if he knows anything about rumored negotiations between Ronald Reagan’s campaign staff and the Iranian government to hurt Jimmy Carter’s chances in the election, Tanter laughed and said he didn’ t work in that part of the campaign””then pointed out that he didn’t deny or confirm the rumor.

Journalist Yvonne Ridley thinks Tanter’s claims about the MEK are ridiculous. Courtesy YVONNE RIDLEY During the campaign, Tanter worked with Zalmay Khalilzad, the current U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. Tanter called Khalilzad his friend, then backtracked, saying “When someone is a friend who goes higher [professionally], you can’t really call them a friend anymore.” Watching Khalilzad deliver a speech about the Middle East in Gaston Hall in November, Tanter knit his fingers under his chin, pointing out when the Ambassador echoed a point Tanter made in Baghdad Ablaze. When Khalilzad mentioned “internal elements in Iran,” Tanter leaned over excitedly and whispered “Did you hear that? Internal elements in Iran.” Despite this possible nod to the MEK, Tanter said he does not think his opinions have been adopted by the Washington foreign policy establishment. Working in the Reagan administration gave Tanter access not only to Khalilzad, but also other influential Republicans who continue to influence foreign policy. In the acknowledgments chapter of his book Who’s At the Helm?: Lessons of Lebanon, he thanks Ronald Reagan, Donald Rumsfeld, and George Bush for being “supportive of [his] professional development.”

Still, Tanter’s connections and history with Republicans haven’t been able to get him a meeting with the woman who could most help him get the MEK delisted: Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

“I’m trying to get a “˜date’ with her,” he said, “But her staff is keeping me away.” Since the State Department decides what groups are designated as foreign terrorist organizations, one good meeting with Secretary Rice could mean new resources and status for the MEK and vindication for Tanter.

Tanter last visited Iran in 1975 when it was still ruled by the pro-Western Shah. After the Shah’s repressive regime was overthrown by a coalition of bourgeois intellectuals and fundamentalist Shia ayatollahs, the ayatollahs gained the upperhand and turned against the Shah’s foreign backers, including the United States.

“I’ve gotten invitations from the Iranian regime to come, which I consider to be””gick!” Tanter said, drawing his hand across his neck and making a noise like his throat was being cut. “They ask me to come on Iranian television all the time. No, I don’t want to give them the legitimacy.”

At least some in Iranian television aren’t eager to give him legitimacy, either.

“You’d have more chance of seeing the Pope’s b**ls [sic] than seeing this lot being taken seriously by anyone,” journalist Yvonne Ridley wrote in an e-mail. Ridley hosts a show on Press TV, an international television channel funded by the Iranian government. Ridley also questioned Tanter’s claim that the MEK can bring change to Iran. “The Iranian Government hates them, the pro-Shah/return-the-Peacock-Throne lobby hate them. Saddam loved them and they were part of the famous “˜Saddam’s Tank Girls,’” she wrote, referring to the large number of women in the MEK army. Tanter’s personal conversation continually echoes his professional interest; he lists Lawrence of Arabia, a film whose hero gains his government’s support for a rebel movement in the Middle East, as one of his favorite movies, and he can turn anything into a metaphor about Iran. He plays tennis twice a week, and is quick to draw an analogy between this hobby and his passion. “In tennis, stroke the ball leaning forward, not on your backfoot,” he wrote in an e-mail, “Similarly, the Iranian regime is leaning forward by building the Bomb, destabilizing Iraq and threatening its neighbors.” Even the air he breathes is fodder for a metaphor””Iranian meddling in Iraq “is like oxygen fanning the flames of conflict in Iraq.” Despite his relentless focus on Iran and the MEK, Tanter says he will not let his work as an educator suffer. “I’m still committed to my teaching, even though I’m involved in all this transformational business,” Tanter said. Whether in the classroom, Congress, or Europe, Tanter’s work is teaching. Speaking about his research on Iran, Tanter said, “You don’t have to buy mine, just do yours.” Will Sommer – georgetownvoice – March 5, 2008

Another Part of Tanter’s Background

Nejat Society — Fri, 28 Dec 2007 00:00:00 +0000

In Yossi Melman’s article, published in Israeli newspaper Haaretz, part of the records of Raymond Tanter- as the main supporter of MKO in the U.S.- has been exposed:

"Tanter, 67, is considered a genius in international relations. At the age of 25, he completed his doctorate at the University of Indiana. He belongs to the school that introduced the use of mathematical models and quantitative studies in international relations. He has taught at top American universities, and in 1974 he spent his sabbatical at Hebrew University’s Institute for International Relations (in the interest of proper disclosure, I was his student at the time.)

Between one academic job and the next, Tanter filled several positions in the White House and the Pentagon, mainly during Ronald Reagan’s presidency. For two years (1981-1982) he was a member of the National Security Council, in charge of Libya and Lebanon (among his other assignments, Tanter followed Israeli policy which led to the invasion at the time.) He is identified with the Republican Party and has for the most part held conservative opinions. In his opinion, however, President George W. Bush’s administration is not sufficiently conservative."

This much of his records, and his support for the terrorist organization of MKO, is enough to understand how anti-people the MKO is.

For more information, we can point to his mission on using the Contras (similar to his opinions on using the MKO).

However, the most important issue in his case is that despite all Melman’s complements about him, Tanter is so discredited that he’s currently acting as an agent of the MKO.

Raymond Tanter turns out his wife to please a cult

Nejat Society — Sun, 25 Nov 2007 00:00:00 +0000

At the end of October a symposium was held in the French National Assembly, attended by a few second rate persons from the world of France and politics which brought nothing new to confront the Iranian threat.

More interesting is the guest of honor: Raymond Tanter.

Interesting first in his capacity as a professor at Georgetown University in the USA and as a former member of the National Security Council at the White House. But also because it is a striking example of an ambiguous relationship between a part of American political circles and certain terrorist groups.

Indeed, Tanter currently chairs the Iran Policy Committee (IPC) which performs lobbying for the Mojahedin-e Khalq (aka PMOI, MEK, MKO, NCRI,… etc.), recognized as a terrorist organization by both the European Union and the USA.

But what is interesting is how Tanter has been under the control of the Mojahedin. At one point his wife, Constance Anderson-Tanter, accused the People’s Mujahideen of being responsible for the separation of the couple.

In several testimonies she clearly accuses the spokesman of the Mojahedin in the USA, Alireza Jafarzadeh, of first becoming a friend, then the confidant and finally mentor to her husband. At that point he convinced Tanter to leave his wife.

This kind of mental manipulation is usual in the Mojahedin and is the methodology of a typical type of sectarian group (cult) that has been frequently described.

Although curious this has been the fate of Raymond Tanter. A US academic who has become faithful to a terrorist cult…

It is, in this case, inappropriate for him to pretend to be an independent expert…

Original in French:

Quand un membre de l’administration US vire sa femme pour faire plaisir à une secte

Fin octobre s’est tenue à l’Assemblée nationale française, un colloque réunissant quelques seconds couteaux du monde politique français et qui n’a rien apporté de neuf à la rengaine sur la menace iranienne.

Plus intéressant en est l’invité d’honneur : Raymond Tanter.

Intéressant par sa qualité de professeur à l’université de Georgetown aux Etats-Unis et d’ancien membre du Conseil de sécurité nationale à la Maison Blanche, d’abord. Mais aussi, car il est un exemple marquant des relations ambiguës entre une partie de l’administration américaine et certains groupes terroristes.

En effet, Tanter préside actuellement le Comité pour une politique iranienne (Iran Policy Committee IPC) qui fait du lobbyng en faveur des Moudjahidine du peuple iranien (connu aussi sous le nom de l’OMPI, CNRI, etc…), organisation reconnue comme terroriste tant par l’Union européenne que par les USA dont Tanter fut pourtant un très haut fonctionnaire.

Mais ce qui est emblématique, c’est la manière dont l’OMPI l’a mis sous sa coupe. Au point que son épouse, Constance Anderson-Tanter, a accusé les Moudjahidine du peuple d’être responsables de la séparation du couple.

Elle accuse clairement dans plusieurs témoignages, le porte parole de l’OMPI aux USA, Alireza Jafarzadeh d’être devenu l’ami, le confident et finalement le mentor de son époux. Au point qu’il l’aurait convaincu de quitter sa femme.

Cette sorte de manipulation mentale est habituelle au sein des Moudjahidines et typique d’un fonctionnement de type sectaire qui a déjà été souvent démontré :

Bien curieux destin de Raymond Tanter, agent du gouvernement US, qui serait devenu un vrai fidèle de la secte terroriste…

Il est en tous les cas bien mal venu pour jouer à l’expert indépendant…

posted 8/09/07 @ 11:49 AM EST

I am Raymond Tanter’s wife and I would like to make a statement. I married Raymond Tanter May 14. 1999 being a widow living in New York City. I was innoncent to what his work was about but he asked me to become his research assistant and help him promote his work, in fact many letters are written on Georgetown Letterhead how I helped him, how he benefited from my work…I traveled to France London, walked the Halls of Congress promoted what I thought was the Freedom for Women of Iran and all around the globe.

Raymond and I traveled the globe together working in Vienna, etc. and I attending events at the State Dept. and other places helping him as his wife. I hosted parties for him in our Trump Tower apartment…I got him speaking engagements, at the WNRC in NYC, at the BEST social clubs in New York and elsewhere…. I took him to my clubs and gave him my apt NYC ….now I find myself homeless, yes he locked me out of our apartment in ALBAN TOWERS in Washington DC he keeps two not one apartment for himself. He will not pay my dental bills, eye glasses or other medical emergencies. I AM in shock with threats to eliminate me and most of the information is in HOUSING COURT where Raymond Tanter fails to pay on one of our three apartments to make me homeless….he did this in SEPT 2006 the month my mother died after have her in 4 hospitals in 32 days. He threatend that if I did not sign off the lease and perhaps giving up my condo marital rights of the other apt. 507 which he used to work with IPC MEMBERS AND ALIREZA displaces me into another unit that they and yes I say they because they all knew he was making me homeless for no reason……..He apparently is now married to the to the

MEK……I am now in court but awaiting court orders. Raymond got into clubs in Washington using my social clubs as his which is untrue, he was never a member of those clubs,,,,then he refused to pay my bills since I could live there…He used my friends, many of high circles including their money in the hundreds of thousands of dollars…..he also took generals and their wives to Paris leaving me homeless with 13 cents in my pocket and without the good church I would be hungry….I worked years for him and am in the process of suing for my promised wages by my attorney.. and Raymond still is living the high life…..fooling many….However I married him as a widow former widow of a Wall Street MNYSE…a man of great character….I thought Raymond was a good man but he fooled me ..he still keeps a checkbook with his former lover in Ann Arbor MI Mia Saverino….some friends of Ann Arbor have come to me and said they are not supprised ….. have missing funds from my deceased husband’s life insurance and well I can tell you this because all you have to do is go to DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA HOUSING COURT FIRST IN ARSCHSTONE SMITH V. CONSTANCE AND RAYMOND TANTER…YES Raymond went to housing court refusing to pay rent on our extended apartment to make me homeless when I would not sign off units he now holds,,,,because I believe of the condo rights status,,,,since we moved into unit 507 in June of 2001…..which give lots of value should the ARSCHSTONE DEAL GO THREW the largest private equity deal in the UNITED STATES HISTORY……so you see Tanter is not a nice man…he speaks of women’s rights but he has made his former researh assistant and partner and friend…..homeless after he took all he could get out of me…I pray for his soul daily, because I thought married a good Christian. I have many Jews as friends, Muslims, all faiths…I am white and I recently noticed that Raymond an African American never has even one African American intern or any African American around him.

We had a good marriage I thought and he whispered much in my ear of love and committement and never abandoning me……he whispered much of his internal work and clearly involved me…My photos and media is all over Europe. and in Iran…I still believe one thing…..all people have the right to be free…

Raymond Tanter abuses his own wife…..so perhaps you might want my story how the once happy man I married , we danced at balls, and were friends on the tennis court and went to church and were happy….I was promoting his books and his works and the works of his friends….now I have no idea who he is..>I have been told I am a Mortal Threat but what human being makes a wife homeless stealing not one but two apartments….my clothes my life are in storage….Jack Andresen I married before had an Uncle in Congress for 34 years, his other Uncle Andrew Fleischer invented the blood pressure machine and his other Uncle was Arschbishop Raymond Ettelldorf of the Vatican in Rome.

I am banned from going to my dear friends at Alban Towers since he made a point to keep me isolated from family friends and living in fear of my very well being and life…..One might ask who ‘s spell is he under. Alireza took my place as Raymond’s wife…..or at least he took my home space and life….I met Alireza’s family and I liked them…I was kind to all and well now that watch me being abused and threatened and do nothing…Do the Generals know who are on the board that Raymond is doing all of this…I think not..They took their wives on thousands of dollars to a trip to Paris…I was in Paris in June of 2004 as Raymond asked me to speak and I even introduced Dick Armey….I thought this group was for the rights of women and democracy….but if that is true then why are they helping do this to me….Calls should be made on this issue and I am taking interview so when you email me identify yourself I am looking for a literary agent at this time….My story is inside the box and it needs to be told…>I loved Raymond when I married him…he apparently had other motives for marrying me……….I pray for Peace and love for all people in our world…I pray that all get to speak when they wish to do so..Last July 25 2007 a man was kept from speaking in the Caucus Room at Cannon Building because Raymond did not wish him to…My hand was ignored when raised….I will not be ignored, threatened by death threats or discredited I will fight back for my rights and for my property……I would hope someone out there will listen. The public record of the divorce is Tanter v. Tanter in DC depositions are public record and of course. I am exhausted but people need to know first hand……I am an abused wife….17 years younger of Raymond and I tried to get him to speak with our Minister he would not…….I wonder has he become a member of another religion? thanks and God Bless our World.

Viewers of the Fox News Channel will be familiar with some of these names from the frequent appearances of these persons who claim to be experts on Iran.

http://www.iranpolicy.org/scholarsandfellows.php

Clare Lopez, a former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) operations officer, used to work for the IPC. She is now a private consultant and a member of the Advisory Council of the Intelligence Summit. The posted list of those involved with the Intelligence Summit has some familiar names from the list of persons involved with the Iran Policy Committee.

http://www.intelligencesummit.org/speakers/ClareLopez.php

Another speaker at the Intelligence Summit 2007 was Alireza Jafarzadeh. Jafarzadeh worked in the office of the National Council of Resistance of Iran in the National Press Building in Washington, DC, until the Federal Government closed the press office of the Iranian Communist MEK (PMOI, MKO, Rajavi Cult, or Pol Pot of Iran) and raided Jafarzadeh’s home to take away boxes of documents. The MEK has been on the State Department’s list of terrorist organizations since the administration of former President Bill Clinton. The MEK has murdered American military officers, Rockwell International employees, and large numbers of Iranians and Iraqis. The MEK has committed terrorist acts around the world, including in New York City. In September 2002, the White House issued a background paper for President George W. Bush’s remarks at the United Nations listing the MEK as a pretext for the forthcoming Iraq War. In April 2003, American and coalition forces attacked the MEK terrorists at Camp Ashraf, Iraq.

Confessions of Raymond Tanter

Confessions of Raymond Tanter: The Web of Neo-conservative (Neo-Trotskyite) Lies

"A few months ago, Irandidban.com reported of the gathering of Baath remnants in Camp Ashraf and that they had shouted slogans in favor of Saddam and against the government of Iraq."

The web of war lies continues to grow:

1. Professor Raymond Tanter’s name appears on the list of scholars and fellows of the Iran Policy Committee (IPC):

Clare M. Lopez, Executive Director

Major General Paul E. Vallely, USA (Ret.)

Professor Raymond Tanter, Former Senior Staff Member, National Security Council

Lt. General Edward Rowny, USA (Ret.)

Captain Charles T. "Chuck" Nash, USN (Ret.)

Lt. General Thomas McInerney USAF, (Ret.)

Bruce McColm, President Institute for Democratic Strategies

Lt. Col. Bill Cowan, USMC (Ret.)

James Akins, Ambassador (Ret.)

2. The Iran Policy Committee describes itself as:

Iran Policy Committee (IPC) is comprised of former officials from the White House, State Department, Pentagon, intelligence agencies, and experts from think tanks and universities.

The Executive Director is described as a former employee of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

3. The Iran Policy Committee does not disclose at its Web site its sources of funding.

4. The Iran Policy Committee is a strong supporter of the Iranian Communist MEK (Rajavi Cult or Pol Pot of Iran). See its posted white paper (a white washing of the atrocities of this cult):

US Policy Options for Iran and Iranian Political Opposition, Sept 13, 2005

The MEK murdered American military officers and Rockwell International employees in Iran. The MEK demanded the executions of American hostages at the American Embassy in Tehran, Iran. Fortunately, supporters of an Islamic Republic of Iran were able to defeat the supporters of the MEK in 1981. If the MEK had won in 1981, there could still be a Soviet Union today. Saddam Hussein provided millions of dollars of support plus military camps and heavy military equipment to the MEK so that the MEK would commit atrocities against the Iraqi people. In September 2002, President Bush’s background paper for his remarks at the United Nations listed the MEK as one of three Saddam Hussein-supported terrorist groups operating in Iraq. Al-Qaeda was NOT on his list. The MEK was a pretext for America’s invasion of Iraq.

5. Some of these scholars and fellows have appeared many times on the Fox News Channel. Many Republican and conservative viewers are so stupid that they do not understand that neo-conservative (neo-Trotskyite) supporters of the MEK are supporting the communist takeover of Iran by the "Pol Pot of Iran".

6. In 2003, American and coalition forces attacked Camp Ashraf, Iraq and killed some of the MEK members.

7. Then, the American Army protected the MEK from Iraqi Kurds and other Iraqis who suffered terrible atrocities committed by the MEK.

8. The American Army permitted the red, communist flag of the MEK to continue flying at Camp Ashraf, Iraq.

9. In 2006, a small unit of military guards from Bulgaria became responsible for watching the MEK at Camp Ashraf, Iraq.

10. As noted correctly by Iran Didban, anyone who has an international satellite dish capable of receiving Persian language television programs can watch MEK television programs. The MEK has shown many times Iraqis who attended events at Camp Ashraf, Iraq.

Confused by the neoconservative web of lies?

Admirers of Trotsky have infiltrated the Democratic and Republican parties of America to the extent that millions of Republicans and conservatives have been duped. These neo-conservatives support the Iranian Communist MEK (Rajavi Cult or Pol Pot of Iran). However, President Bush’s 2002 background paper for his United Nations remarks mentioned the MEK as one of Saddam Hussein’s supported terrorist organizations. In 2003, American and coalition forces attacked the MEK’s Camp Ashraf, Iraq and killed some MEK members. Then, the American military protected the MEK from being attacked by Iraqi Kurds in retaliation for the 1991 MEK atrocities committed against Iraqi Kurds. In 2006, the MEK can show on its television station events at Camp Ashraf, Iraq including Iraqis who are enemies of the American military in Iraq.

America’s worst enemies are not in the Middle East. America’s worst enemies are in America: the neo-conservatives (neo-Trotskyites) and the dupes who support them. America should not support endless neoconservative wars to enrich neoconservative supporters.

Raymond Tanter spoke of MKO’s interference in Iraq’s internal affairs

Nejat Society — Sat, 09 Dec 2006 00:00:00 +0000

Raymond Tanter, bankrupt republican and arms dealer who sells weapons to mercenary groups, talking on the issue of situation in Iraq to Al-Jazeera last night, overtly spoke of MKO’s interferences in Iraq’s internal affairs.

A supporter of MKO, Tanter has repeatedly asked the US government to use the terrorist group as leverage against Iran. On MKO’s ties with remnants of Saddam, he said:

“The US should strongly support Sunnis (read the very terrorists who conduct terrorist operations against the Iraqi government). They have common interests with the Iranian opposition”.

Tanter’s comments are a reaction to recent revelations on the relationship between the MKO and terrorists in Dyala and also remnants of Saddam Hussein.

MKO spokespersons also have tried to decrease the effects of these revelations, denying the accusations in a naïve way (despite all reports broadcast by MKO’s own TV channel).

A few months ago, Irandidban reported of the gathering of Baath remnants in Camp Ashraf and that they had shouted slogans in favor of Saddam and against the government of Iraq.
