On 3 June families encamped outside Camp Ashraf waiting for news of their children celebrated Iranian Mothers’ Day. The fact they are separated from not only their long-lost children who are being held hostage inside the camp by MKO leader Massoud Rajavi, but are also far away from their other family members back home, did not deter them from having a good time.
Picketing families at Camp Ashraf remain cheerful and optimistic
..Although camp leadership has essentially been told by the Iraqi government that they are no longer protected, the members are still being told they are. Members are still isolated from the outside world, and they are regularly exposed to the groups’ own media. This propaganda campaign, an emblematic tactic for the MKO[MEK/PMOI], keeps members subdued and believing that the organization maintains strength…
During the few past days, MKO leaders had some of Camp Ashraf residents interviewed on the group’s TV channel. The show indicated the annoying systematic manipulative pressure on the group’s rank and file. Those who were interviewed on TV were mostly among those members whose families were waiting to visit them at Ashraf gates. The families were prevented from visiting their loved ones by MKO/MEk/PMOI leaders.
The crisis monger of Rajavi’s cult made futile efforts both in propaganda and operational phases to light the fire of protests in Iran. Now, no way is left for Massoud Rajavi but using displacement mechanism to put the blame on others. Addressing his imaginary evidence, MKO’s leader, stuck in his contradictory ideas, represents the ambiguity of the organization’s ideas.
Rajavi uses condescending language and erratic reasoning to affront the families whose loved ones remain in the camp. Further, Rajavi claims to be a follower and admirer of Mosadeq (the Iranian President who nationalized the oil industry in the 1950’s) and quotes his words, saying,”My family is my nation”. Although he compares himself to, he fails to mention the atrocities…
..MKO leaders misunderstand their organization’s condition, they are stuck in a defective cycle of”absolute denial of others”and”extreme violence”. This ends in their disability to solve their strategic or tactical contradictions, and eventually the gradual defection of their forces. All this leads MKO/MEK/PMOI from ultra leftist interests (in theory) to rightist activities (in action) as Imperialist’s mercenary and Capitalists’ footman. Today, MKO leader take the same positions of America warmongers and capitalists!..
