\u201cSlimy with MEK blood money<\/a>\u201d<\/strong>, this is the logic Kurt Nimmo presents to explain why some of former American officials, politicians, and retired military officers have been cheerleading for the MEK over the past decade. [1]
\nAli Harb of the Middle East Eye<\/a> also wonders about the contradictions over the sponsorship of certain American figures for the formerly terror designated group, MEK.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeyond Giuliani and Bolton, lawmakers from both major American political parties have lauded the MEK as a pro-democracy movement despite its checkered past,\u201d he writes. [2]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

However, he gets the answer in the comments of Barbara Slavin the director of the Future of Iran Initiative at the Atlantic Council, on the MEK.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just ridiculous that they\u2019ve been able to get the influence that they have had in the US,\u201d Slavin told Harb, \u201cI think that\u2019s primarily due to the money \u2026 that they pay lobbyists to press their case. They\u2019ve had some very influential people like John Bolton and Rudy Giuliani who have taken their side.\u201d [3]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When a few weeks ago, Ilan Berman of the National Interest published a piece titled \u201cMaking sense of the MEK<\/strong><\/a>\u201d, Daniel Larison of the American Conservative responded with an investigated report on the true nature of the MEK criticizing Berman for \u201cwhitewashing\u201d the MEK. An example of whitewashing the MEK\u2019s bloddy history is accurately denounced by Larison.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor instance, he talks about the MEK\u2019s efforts to cultivate U.S. politicians and former officials, including John Bolton and Rudy Giuliani, but he leaves out the part where they have paid their newfound supporters for their endorsement to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars per speech,\u201d he states. [4]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In November 2016, the New York Times, \u201cIn one year \u2014 2006 \u2014 Mr. Giuliani reported in a financial disclosure report that he had made 124 speeches, for as much as $200,000 each, and had earned a total of $11.4 million. He often made extravagant demands in return for agreeing to make a speech, including that the private plane that flew him to the engagement be a certain size.\u201d [5]
\nThe sums that Bolton has received from the MEK is as hefty as Rudy Guilliani\u2019s.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cBolton has always been the star of the show,\u201d according to the Open Secrets News website. \u201cRecords show that the M.E.K has paid Bolton at least $180,000 in speaker fees to attend the group\u2019s annual Paris conference for more than a decade.\u201d [6]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The US warmongers, Saudi Arabia, the Israeli Mossad are all interlinked with the MEK\u2014no matter the MEK was formerly considered a Foreign Terrorist Organization by the US State Department. Some magic formula, is now considered to be made up to turn former terrorists into Iranian pro-democracy patriots. MEK agents which are being brought in from Albania are organized in troll farms and may be used to carry out some false flag and blame it on Iran. Money seems to be the catalyst of these interactions. But where does the MEK\u2019s money come from?
