Supporters of Endless Wars in Congress

In my article, Supporters of Endless Wars in Congress (http://www.aljazeerah.info/ , September 13, 2005), I expressed my opposition to the Democrats and Republicans in Congress who have sponsored or have co-sponsored the Iran Freedom Support Act. If this act becomes law, then the American taxpayers will be paying millions of dollars to support Iranian groups claiming to be pro-democracy.

The American neo-conservatives (neo-Trotskyites) in the American Congress support America’s use of military force and of other means to impose communist or totalitarian governments in the world in the name of democracy. Vice President Richard Cheney has been discussing the possibility of dropping nuclear bombs on Iran. Any Iranian living outside of Iran who supports America’s dropping nuclear bombs on Iran should be deported to Iran so that they can enjoy America’s exporting of nuclear bomb democracy, too. Vice President Cheney and the evil members of Congress who support the Iran Freedom Support Act should not be supported by any Iranian, American, or by any person in the world who possesses an ounce of decency.

With my satellite dish, I was able to watch the MEK channel’s coverage of the MEK protest near the United Nations on September 14, 2005. I was able to see the large number of red and white MEK flags with communist symbols being waved by the MEK supporters. Many of the MEK supporters were not even Iranians. As Kenneth Timmerman has shown in his posted photographs, the MEK paid large numbers of non-Iranians from other countries to come to America for a free trip. Now that Saddam Hussein is no longer in power, there are no longer millions of dollars of money being given to the MEK through the United Nations Oil-for-Food Program. Who is financing the MEK now? You still have nearly 4,000 MEK fighters in Camp Ashraf, Iraq who must be supported.

Unfortunately, Americans who watch the evening television news or read their local newspapers are unlikely to have seen the communist flags of the MEK flying in New York City.

Fortunately, Kenneth Timmerman took photographs of two protest groups (the MEK and the monarchists) and reported the names of the other protest groups protesting at different times or locations near the United Nations. Please see: http://www.iran.org/news/24-Irandemos.htm

As Kenneth Timmerman noted, the MEK is on the terrorist list in America for a good reason. The MEK has a long history of acts of terrorism, including the murders of Americans in Iran and a terrorist attack in America in 1992. MEK fighters at Camp Ashraf, Iraq have held annual celebrations of the murders of these Americans. In Iraq, the MEK’s terrorist acts and war crimes include forcing Iraqis to stand in roads so that MEK tanks could run over and crush to death innocent Iraqis. MEK leaders wanted to save all MEK bullets for the invasion of Iran. Why does the MEK need to invade Iran? The reason is that there is nearly zero support for the MEK in Iran.

Unlike Kenneth Timmerman, however, I have only contempt also for the Iranian monarchists. I was in Tehran, Iran in the summer of 1976 when the late Shah of Iran explained on Iranian television why he had abolished all political parties and had replaced all Iranian political parties with one party, the Resurgence Party. After the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom forced Reza Shah to go into exile and placed the Shah of Iran on the throne, the Shah of Iran promised the Iranian people that he would give them a constitutional monarchy similar to that of the United Kingdom’s. The Shah of Iran lied. The Shah of Iran gave the Iranian people a one-party state with an absolute monarchy and a lot of corruption.

I do not support one-party systems of government anywhere in the world. The neo-conservatives (neo-Trotskyites) and American members of Congress who claim that the MEK and the Iranian monarchists are pro-democracy are liars.

President Ahmadinejad received the votes of a very large number of Iranians. There never was an election of Maryam Rajavi. Why do MEK leaders lie by claiming that she is the president-elect of Iran? MEK supporters were very active in the brutalizing of American hostages at the American Embassy in Tehran, Iran. When I was a doctoral student at Michigan State University, I attended MEK meetings. Some of the MEK students left the university to return to Iran to help the MEK supporters holding Americans hostage.

The MEK was founded in 1965 to oust the Shah of Iran from power. The Shah of Iran executed or killed in gun battles most of the original MEK leaders, except for Massoud Rajavi. The MEK is opposed to all Iranian governments except for a communist totalitarian state under the rule of Massoud Rajavi. Even the New York Times has reported about the future Pol Pot of Iran:

"This past winter in Iran, when such a popular outburst among students and others was still just a dream, if you mentioned the Mujahedeen, those who knew and remembered the group laughed at the notion of it spearheading a democracy movement. Instead, they said, the Rajavis, given the chance, would have been the Pol Pot of Iran."

–Elizabeth Rubin, "The Cult of Rajavi", New York Times Magazine, July 13, 2003

The neo-conservatives (neo-Trotskyites) and the Democrats and Republicans in Congress who support the Iran Freedom Support Act are the worst terrorists in the world today. They threaten to drop nuclear bombs on Iran and impose another Pol Pot. Pol Pot was able to murder only approximately 25% to 33% of his people until the communist government of Vietnam sent its military to stop the genocide by the communist Pol Pot.

America does not want to bomb Iran and to impose the MEK because of democracy. Instead, the Iranian people want to be free to (1) sell their oil in Euros instead of using American dollars and (2) to start an oil exchange in 2006 instead of using oil exchanges in New York.

The truth is that there is more capitalism and democracy in Iran and in many other countries today than there is in America. America’s political leaders are attempting to impose a communist government in Iran today (just as they did in 1959 in Cuba with Fidel Castro, the "George Washington of Cuba"). America is making these threats against Iran (and warnings against people in other countries who dare to be free). Most Americans do not understand yet how the neo-conservatives (neo-Trotskyites) in the Democratic and Republican parties are destroying America. They do not know that countries other than Iraq and Iran will stop using the American dollar or making investments in America. When there is a major depression in America or another terrorist attack in America, American dupes will have a choice: become educated and oust the neo-conservative (neo-Trotskyite) Democrats and Republicans or respond by bombing every country in the world refusing to hold American dollars and have American-supported totalitarians as their leaders.

Mujahedin Khalq 's Terrorism

In the Memory of Halabja

Mojahedin-e Khalq organization has published a very thick book called “Calendar of History”. The most important historical events of the world and Iran in the eyes of Mojahedin have been mentioned in this book. Some are important and some not. But the more I searched for the word “Halabja” in the book, the less I found. Why?

There’s no doubt that the chemical attack to Iraq’s Halabja by Saddam Hussein and other partners of Rajavi is a historical event. Why does Rajavi want to forget it? Rajavi is well aware that wherever Saddam’s name is mentioned he also should be accountable for the crimes of dictator, whether in suppressing Iraqis or Iranians.

On March 16, 1988, Saddam special forces led by Ali Hassan Al-Majid (known as Chemical Ali) attacked the Kurdish village of Halabja. The people of the village had to be punished for their opposition to Saddam. Therefore, Saddam forces destroyed the city with mortars and shells and then killed the people with different kinds of chemical weapons. Thousands of people, including men, women and children, were killed.

After many years, images still speak louder than words. The dusty streets of this Kurdish village is full of the bodies of men, women, children and animals who have no signs of blood, wounds or explosion on their bodies. Their skins are strangely pale. Eyes are open, gazing at nowhere. It seems that the death has come to them out of the blue, while they were working. Some of them were only able to get to the doors. Mothers have embraced their children and …

These images cause pain in the hearts of every human being but at that time in MKO camps, instead of these pictures which were shown all over the world, films of the meeting of Massoud and Saddam was being shown. And we were ignorantly cheering for Rajavi’s ideological and strategic solutions.

Mujahedin Khalq 's Terrorism

MKO Supports Terror in Tasuki

Following the terrorist action in Tasuki (on the road from Zabol to Zahedan), in which 21 were killed and 7 others injured, Iranliberty website which belongs to the terrorist organization of Mojahedin-e Khalq and is run by Mansoor Ghadrkhah (member of MKO council), supported this terrorist act by releasing a statement and called "revolutionary forces" those who conducted it.

In their website, MKO members published Sattar Laghayee’s article, which read:

"Mullah’s governor as well as Basiji and secret agents have been revolutionary executed in atonement for the blood of thousands of Iranian youths. Heroes who can’t stand the situation anymore, after the killing of Iranian elites in the horrible prisons of Mullah’s Oligarchy, have rebelled against criminal mullahs. Mercenary news agencies called them "anti-revolutionary"? Don’t they really know the difference of "revolutionary" and "anti-revolutionary"?"

Terrorist organization of Mujahideen-e Khalq, supporting the acts of these terrorist separatist groups, threatens of spreading such terrorist operations in the next year and says:

"This year was a good year for Mullah’s Oligarchy but the worst remains to come in the next year…what has happened is only a small part of Mullah’s problems".

Earlier also, terrorist MKO approved the acts of murderers in Ahwaz and, by condemning their execution, tried to buy credit for itself in front of its masters.

Mujahedin Khalq 's Terrorism

Turning Ashraf to Terorrists Township

Iraqi constitution stopped the terrorist plots of MKO.

Terrorist MKO conducted ugly operations in Iraq for many years and today, it is using Camp Ashraf again as a place for performing suspicious plots by cooperating with US forces.

Since the organization has inured to planning and performing treacherous ideas, it is not able to survive independently. Therefore, it goes from the shade of one regime to that of another and in such a situation, it can put to practice its evil plans.

The presence of this organization in Iraq is a threat for international regulations. This organization, which Iraqis have asked for expulsion of, has been given the status to remain in Iraq and to perform its plans against our nation.

We don’t know who’s granted the right of Camp Ashraf’s independence to this organization? It seems as if this organization is not in its own soil instead of Iraq!

About the presence of this organization in Iraq and misusing this sacred soil to create a military township, we talked to Dr. Mohsen Jom’e, professor of international law. He says:

"Occupation of Iraqi lands by the MKO after the expulsion order was issued for this group is clearly breach of law. Our law allows those who are given political refugee status to establish a camp fro settlement and this can be done only with the permission of government. But their refugee status has been canceled due to the decision of Iraqi government.

Therefore, the presence of this organization is against the will of our government and is in contradiction with the regulations of granting refugee status to refugees."

Dr. Hassan adds:

"This group’s misuse of Iraqi soil and also plundering the revenues of the country are in contradiction with law, and Iraqi government should do something to stop breaching of law".

In this regard, professor and lawyer Riadh Sa’doon, says:

"The presence of this organization in Iraq after the decision of interim government is against the law; it’s an illegal presence. This organization has not the right to misuse Iraq’s pure land and it shouldn’t establish its military camps here. Therefore, the presence of the group in Iraq is illegal and is against all international regulations.

You know that this organization uses the subsidies considered for Iraqi citizens and this has surprised political observers. We have documents showing the group sent a letter to the Trade Ministry, asking for its share of subsidies during past months. This organization has killed the children of this nation and is now using their services! It has gone even further; we were informed that the power of the camp Ashraf is never cut and its members use refined water with the budget of Iraqis. But what is happening inside Camp Ashraf is a crime against our nation.

This organization has committed the worst kinds of crimes against our nation and today, they interfere in our internal affairs. For instance, they have rejected and condemned our constitution and have asked for major changes in some articles of the constitution. Now the question is that who has given this organization the right to interfere in Iraqi affairs? Constitution has been designed to bring stability and security for people but the terrorist organization of Mojahedin-e Khalq doesn’t want the people of Iraq to experience stability and security; it always creates chaos.

Today, the presence of Mojahedin-e Khalq in Iraq is a threat for security and stability of this country. This is exactly what has been considered by legislators in the constitution to put an end to the presence of criminals in Iraq.

This organization has well understood the meaning of this article in the constitution; its leaders know the fate of terrorist organization, including their own group. After years of appearing as the executioner, the organization is now appearing as a victim.

Iraqi constitution has not allowed the country to become a safe haven for this terrorist organization; the constitution has blown the ugly plots of terrorist MKO. The constitution says that Iraq won’t be a haven for this terrorist organization".

Mujahedin Khalq Organization as a terrorist group

WHY ALL THE TIME “DEATH”?

It should be noticed by all governments, parliaments and the legal persons who confirm these producers of death, unconsciously and are unaware about their deception.

The strategy of death, the meeting about death, the design for death, the training and maneuver for death, the political diplomacy at the service of death, terror for death and death for terror and… In fact the word Mujahid has been a synonym for death.

Which system or person is behind this word? It should bear in mind that from the beginning, when this ideology was just an idea, it was produced and started with the idea of revenge.

It is obvious that, deleting a system and substituting a new one by means of death and aggression came to existence by Rajavi as the head of Mujahedeen sect.

The border and borderline of this ideology is death not only for the insiders but also for the observers. It means that the members should consider their death doubtlessly, and to prove the legitimacy of Rajavi they must follow the strategy of death. So, the death exists from the beginning till the end.

Self-burning and death are normal and acceptable by the organization and the members burn themselves very easily without thinking about the reason and the goal of this work.

As a person who spent about 20 years under this ideology, I am sure that in each part of this world where there is a supporting on killing and massacre, this ideology would be raised.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization's Propaganda System

Survivors’ Report- Editorial (No. 22)

News of the imminent disbandment of the group there prompted a flurry of activity among the MKO’s legion of lawyers in an effort to create more bluster and bluff. Exactly as when the Iraqi interim government voted to have the group expelled from Iraq in December 2003. The MKO’s ‘demand’ – if it were in a position to make any such demand – has been for the total 3000+ combatants based in Iraq to be moved wholesale to another base, in another country.

The absurdity of such a demand renders it obvious that such stances taken by the MKO are for internal consumption. The leaders – and probably their highly paid lawyers too -are well aware that no such option exists.

Bulgarian troops will start their mission toward the end of March or early April. We expect that the disbandment of the MKO’s terrorist base in Iraq will be a priority. The 370 former MKO who have repatriated to Iran are being followed up to ascertain their current circumstances. This will no doubt determine whether it is possible that more of the MKO’s rank and file could be successfully and safely repatriated to Iran to be reunited with their families.

Inside Iran, the execution of MKO member Hojat Zamani rightly attracted the attention of human rights groups who condemn the use of the death penalty and who point out that Zamani did not receive a fair trial. Following the interrogation of all the MKO’s combatants in Iraq after the forced disarmament, the USA has identified those who are known to have conducted terrorist acts in Iran which have caused death and injury.

There is no doubt that these particular individuals will not be able to return home to Iran. Interestingly, the Mojahedin’s interpretation of Zamani’s execution was not based on his terrorist actions. Ignoring the deaths of innocent citizens, the MKO has predicted Zamani’s execution to be the prelude for a "massacre" of Mojahedin prisoners in Iranian jails. It is not known exactly how many such prisoners are still held in jails, but the MKO’s need for fresh blood to maintain its fictional position as the main opposition to Iran’s regime has been well served by Zamani’s death.

As the Open Secrets article shows this month, the MKO’s ideology demands that members like Zamani be sacrificed, and this is not the first time they have deliberately created the conditions in which a member has been killed. Indeed, the Rajavis’ bloodthirsty disregard for the lives of their members is taking on the status of legend. February saw yet another attempt by the MKO to be removed from the global lists of terrorist entities on which the organisation has been placed. The case brought by the MKO against the Council for Europe in 2002 was heard on February 7th in the Court of First Instance of the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg. The Mojahedin’s cynical attempt to claim to the Court that the organisation has renounced violence was proven an outright lie when it published pictures and film on its own website of the military parade held in Camp Ashraf. Disarmed combatants dressed in their new military garb and waving the flag adopted by the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) marched along with huge mock-ups of artillery pieces. The message was loud and clear. Give us back our weapons!

MEK Camp Ashraf

Camp Ashraf Escapee: Camp Ruled by Violence

Human rights in the Ashraf refugee camp in Iraq are being violated on a daily basis, an escapee told media.

Mujahideen leaders in the camp still have power over the rest of the people there, Mohzen Abbaslou has told private Darik radio. "I had no future in this camp, that’s why I escaped," Abbaslou says.

People were often beaten, forced to work for the leaders, although it wasn’t their responsibility, the escapee explains. He claims that most of the people did not want to stay in the camp, and those who disobeyed orders were beaten constantly and yelled at a lot.

There was no one to turn to when all this happened, Abbaslou said, because the only troops guarding the camp were stationed outside of it. Americans do control the outside and they let no outer threats reach the population of the camp, but there is no one to help with the violence inside, the man explains.

Although he confirms that camp refugees have been long ago stripped of all weapons, Abbaslou says that claims that there hadn’t been an accident in the camp for three years are false. "I myself was severely beaten by the leaders of the Mujahideen organization within the camp nine months after the American troops took guard," he says.

Mujahedin Khalq; A proxy force

Stop War On Iran Campaign

President Bush, Vice President Cheney, Secretary of State Rice, Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld, U.N. Secretary-General Annan, Congressional Leaders and media representatives:

As a conservative Republican, I oppose the neo-conservatives (neo-Trotskyites), Democrats and Republicans, in Congress and in the Bush administration who support the communist overthrow of Iran by the Iranian Communist MEK (Rajavi Cult) terrorists. The Fox News Channel has been a major supporter of the Iranian Communist MEK (Rajavi Cult) terrorists, including retaining as an analyst the former spokesman for the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI).

For details of this communist cult, read these books:

Saddam’s Private Army by Anne Singleton Masoud by Masoud Banisadr Unlike the chickenhawks in Congress and in the Bush administration, I served in the Army in Vietnam. America has diplomatic and business relations with Communist Vietnam today, even though hundreds of thousands of Americans were killed or wounded in the Vietnam War. America has major trade and investment with Communist China. The neo-conservatives (neo-Trotskyites)oppose business or political relations with anti-communist Iran and support the Iranian Communist MEK (Rajavi Cult) terrorists. The MEK has murdered American military officers, Rockwell International employees, and Iranian and Iraqi civilians. The MEK is guilty of atrocities in Iraq.

Iran has been offering to America closer relations for many years. In 1995, President Bill Clinton announced at the World Jewish Congress more sanctions on Iran, including the prohibition of a contract between Conoco and Iran.

Now, the Bush administration is proposing even more sanctions to provide more pretexts for a future war.

It is time to stop the endless wars to benefit a few corrupt business and political interests in America.

The neo-conservatives (neo-Trotskyites) have betrayed America. America is a republic, not an empire. The imperialist goals of those who admire Machiavelli are having the result of the loss of sources of petroleum and other resources and the reduction in the use of the American dollar.

For details of the American damage to the people of Iran, read these books:

Interlock: The untold story of American banks, oil interests, the Shah’s money, debts, and the astounding connections between them by Mark Hulbert

Confessions of an Economic Hit Man by John Perkins

Americans need to oppose now those in politics, business, and in the media who seek to benefit from endless wars.

Mujahedin Khalq 's Function

MEK Interferes in Iraq Affairs

Political sources of Al-Shahid reported of the interferences of terrorist MEK in Iraq elections. "Members of this organization spend a lot of money to change the process of the elections," a source said.

This source, who has important evidences and documents on this group’s interferences in Iraq elections, added:

"This organization protests to Iraqi constitution, especially to the article which stresses the expulsion of terrorist groups from Iraq; this organization also asks for the cancellation of some paragraphs from the constitution. Interferences of this group in Iraq’s internal affairs show ugly face of this group, that wants destabilization of Iraq."

We should all try to bring Massoud Rajavi and other leaders of terrorist MEK to the court of justice for their crimes against Iraqis.

"Government should fight all signs of terrorism and prevent the country from becoming a safe place for the activities of terrorists" (Iraq constitution).

From the beginning, Massoud Rajavi tried to defend his dictatorship by creating a kind of sacredness for himself and his wife. In 1988, Iran affairs expert Professor Ervand Abrahamian, wrote about the MEK:

"In middle of 1987, all principles and rules for the establishment of personality cult were developed in the MKO so that the commander of the group introduced himself as "leader" and unofficial reports indicate that he considers himself an "Imam". Members of the organization have an image of him that his orders should be performed unquestionably and hierarchically; this is exactly what the MEK emphasizes in its training catalogs."

Members of this organization have drawn an image of horrible situation governing the group. Hadi Shams Haeri, former member of the group who was in high ranks for nearly 15, says:

"Anyone who tried to escape from the organization was imprisoned in MEK’s own prison or an Iraqi one; sometimes the person was sentenced to death."

"The one who joins the MEK should remain a member infinitely. He can only read the publications of the groups; spies are always watching him. Members of this organization should divorces their spouses in order to have only the love of Maryam and Massoud Rajavi."

Observers in the West report of unique methods in regard of how Rajavi controls the members. Former members have discussed dictatorial situation in MEK, in an interview with Wall Street Journal. These former members who didn’t reveal their names due to fears for their lives, said: "MEK leaders practice the worst kind of dictatorship against dissident members; they imprison, kill and punish all those who object to the orders of Maryam and Massoud Rajavi.

Some members of the organization have revealed that the group has forced them to divorce their spouses, leave their children and send them to Europe. Another journalist says: "As far as I could learn, members of this organization are in safe houses in the West. The MEK doesn’t provide much property for these people and they are deprived from the basic conditions for living. They don’t have the right to challenge their officials and should only obey the orders."

A journalist, who has visited one of MKO camps in Iraq, described it as follows:

"In this camp, I saw a clear example of dictatorship. Member of this organization has only the right to eat and sleep; he is not free to express his problems for higher-ups. He should only obey the orders. I believe that this method is similar to the way Saddam treated his own people."

"I saw that the officials of the camp remembered Saddam as their supporter, who has provided them with bases and weapons; there’s no doubt that the group has been effected by the way Saddam governed his people," this journalist adds.

Saddam Hussein has in fact supported this group, has provided weapons and large amounts of money for them.

On the other hand, offices of this group in Europe, North America, Middle East and Australia are responsible for collecting money and properties.

This organization has secret bank accounts under the name of Massoud and Maryam Rajavi. Formerly, these bank accounts were used to filled by Saddam Hussein. In addition, the MEK received a lot of money for giving intelligence to Iraqi government, collected by spying.

Oil-for-food scandal which was revealed recently reflected the level of cooperation between Saddam Hussein and Mojahedin.

Political expert of New York Times wrote:

"The MEK has received a large amount of money, from selling Iraq’s oil in European markets by Arab merchants, although this has not been registered under the name of the group." This expert revealed that when Iraq was under UN sanctions, signed agreements which directed hundreds of millions of dollars to the pocket of this group; this was like a gift from former regime.

This organization has a long history of spying for Iraqi Estekhbarat so that the former secret service used this group to target critics of the regime.

Efforts to bring Massoud Rajavi and other leaders of this organization to a criminal court in Iraq is a national request because the group and its leaders have committed crimes against Iraqis and have plundered their properties.

Mujahedin Khalq 's Function

Image of Iranian Opposition in US

That the State Department has asked for an additional 75-million dollar budget for promoting media propaganda against Iran and helping Iranian opposition group stirred Iranians groups and organizations in the US, which consider themselves pro-democracy. New Yorker magazine has published a 15-page report to reflect an image of these exile groups and their functions as well as Bush administration’s strategies for changing the regime in Iran.

Part of New Yorker’s report is about the MKO:

…another exile group that has powerful supporters among American conservatives and also in Congress is the Mojahedin-e Khalq organization. Helping this group is illegal since it has been listed as a terrorist organization. Therefore, Mojahedin-with the assistance of their representative, Ali Safavi- have employed three American public relations companies in order to make contact with Republican’s and ask for the removal of the group from terror list. These companies can’t receive money directly from the MKO, so they have to ask for the help of rich Iranians in the US in order to have MKO money in their bank accounts.

In return for these efforts, Raymond Tanter- George Town university professor who held a meeting with Maryam Rajavi in Paris for 6 hours- promised New Yorker correspondent that First Lady, Condy Rice and Maryam Rajavi will appear all together in a photo in the White House in the near future.

New Yorker has also pointed to MKO’s close ties with Israel and their bilateral cooperation. MKO’s strategy is revolving around military strike and freeing the southern parts of Iran.
