The extras were hired by a German casting agency, named ‘House of Extras’, which transferred them via two busses from Cologne to Brussels. According to Focus, most of the side actors and actresses were duped into believing that the MKO demonstration was part of a movie and not a real event.
On the other hand, the Britons have confessed the illegal entry into Iran’s waters and thus, they would possibly be treated according to the international rules. Furthermore, a group of fifteen solders can never have so important effect on such a highly disputed international issue as Iran’s nuclear file
For years MEK had launched cross-border attacks and terrorist acts against Iran with the support of Saddam Hussein. Officially designated a terrorist organization by the U.S. State Department in 1997, and disarmed of heavy weaponry by the U.S. military six years later, Washington has since come to view MEK in a different light……Accusing MEK of past involvement in repressive measures by former president Saddam Hussein, the current Iraqi government wants to close down Camp Ashraf, located well outside of Baghdad, where many of the MEK fighters are stationed. But the camp operates under the protection of the U.S. military, and American soldiers chauffeur MEK leaders.
MKO relies on a weak ruling by a European court, which is not bounding for the states and its least effect can be limited to bureaucratic relations inside the EU. More importantly, the ruling stressed that MKO had not committed terrorist acts since 2000, while after the ruling was issued, Maryam Rajavi said that group should be rearmed!
The arrestment of Ammar al-Hakim, the son of Abdul Aziz al-Hakim, by the US troops on his return from Iran seems to be the outcome of another disinformation by MKO to American forces convincing enough, not heeding the consequences, to make them take a hasty decision. Being it a deliberate or non-deliberate move,
Economist has always had a lot of information. This week’s Economist has an article,”Fund and Find Your Opposition”, in which the author speculates the death of Massoud Rajavi and that Maryam Rajavi has become a widow! The article has a critical view on Condi Rice’s request for allocating 75 million dollars to finding an opposition desirable for the US.
The papers publish selected or exclusive news reports which in turn serve as sources of reference for MKO propaganda machine. That is to say, a single piece of news is repeated again and again with the difference that each time it is quoted from a different paper with a deliberate display of the front page. As an evidence of MKO’s trick of reporting news more than once but from different angles, Rassul Mohammadnejad, an ex-member, stated:…
Exploited beyond their main purpose, the media are practical instruments to fulfill MKO’s ambitions. Besides their utilization to augment psychological warfare and propaganda blitz, the media are turned into the means of diffusing ideological teachings directly and indirectly. The TV affording many privileges, the psychological impacts and popularity to count
Pointing to Bush’s order to US forces in Iraq to shoot Iranian and Syrian agents in Iraq, Pentagon’s emphasis that Iranian agents were behind the deaths of 5 US forces in Karbala and the departure of second US aircraft carrier to the region, Spiegel writes that despite all these, the White House denies any effort to overthrow the rule of Mullahs.
This comes while Khalf Al-Ayan and Adnan Al-Dulaimi, who accompanied terrorist MKO member Mohammed Mohaddessin in the conference, are themselves involved in the unrest in Iraq and in creating ethnic clashes. While ago, a number of cars prepared with bombs were found in Dulaimi’s house but the results of investigations were not made public because Americans didn’t want to!
