I\u2019ll counter-sue for court costs. And will win. And will have fun humiliating you.<br \/>\nHerr Hillary, of course, is planning to de-list the MEK from the State Department\u2019s list of officially designated terrorist organizations.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of which, here\u2019s a nice little summary of the MEK\u2019s crimes by the U.S. State Department:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe group\u2019s worldwide campaign against the Iranian government uses propaganda and terrorism to achieve its objectives and has been supported by reprehensible regimes, including that of Saddam Hussein. During the 1970s, the MEK assassinated several U.S. military personnel and U.S. civilians working on defense projects in Tehran and supported the violent takeover in 1979 of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran. Despite U.S. efforts, MEK members have never been brought to justice for the group\u2019s role in these illegal acts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn 1981, MEK leadership attempted to overthrow the newly installed Islamic regime; Iranian security forces subsequently initiated a crackdown on the group. The MEK instigated a bombing campaign, including an attack against the head office of the Islamic Republic Party and the Prime Minister\u2019s office, which killed some 70 high-ranking Iranian officials, including Chief Justice Ayatollah Mohammad Beheshti, President Mohammad-Ali Rajaei, and Prime Minister Mohammad-Javad Bahonar. These attacks resulted in a popular uprising against the MEK and an expanded Iranian government crackdown which forced MEK leaders to flee to France. For five years, the MEK continued to wage its terrorist campaign from its Paris headquarters. Expelled by France in 1986, MEK leaders turned to Saddam Hussein\u2019s regime for basing, financial support, and training. Near the end of the 1980-1988 Iran-Iraq War, Baghdad armed the MEK with heavy military equipment and deployed thousands of MEK fighters in suicidal, mass wave attacks against Iranian forces.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe MEK\u2019s relationship with the former Iraqi regime continued through the 1990s. In 1991, the group reportedly assisted in the Iraqi Republican Guard\u2019s bloody crackdown on Iraqi Shia and Kurds who rose up against Saddam Hussein\u2019s regime; press reports cite MEK leader Maryam Rajavi encouraging MEK members to \u2018take the Kurds under your tanks.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And I don\u2019t know what they\u2019re saying here, but the MEK\u2019s former cult leader (it\u2019s now run by his widow, the cult leader runner-up) looks like he had a much warmer thing going with Saddam Hussein, that great ally of the Iranian people, than even Rumsfeld had back in their mutual good old days:<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/st.nejatngo.org\/media\/Documentary\/Al_Haqiqat\/Al_Haqiqat_1.wmv\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/st.nejatngo.org\/Image\/MEK\/Rajavi_Saddam_Cooper\/Rajavi_Saddam_4_L.jpg\"alt=\"\"width=\"250\"height=\"125\"hspace=\"10\"vspace=\"10\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Scott Horton<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So say the Mujahedeen e-Khalq terrorists in the comment section below my recent interview of Huffington Post writer Shawn Amoei.
