Maryam Rajavi ‘s better known as the”principal leader”of Mujahadeen-e-Khalq or MEK, which is officially designated by the United States as a terrorist group…it’s a bit jarring to see a recent front-runner for the GOP nomination for the presidency literally bowing to the leader of a terrorist organization. The bow was an odd choice
he seems to be hailing them as the George Washington’s of the Middle East. That’s ludicrous. It’s also a development that you might even be justified in labeling terrifying if the MEK really were to become the new pet cause of crusading conservatives. What Gingrich is courting is not the liberation of Iran but a replay of the Iraq War. That is a path that no American administration should follow.
the MEK’s hard work has not been in vain. There’s something else to bear in mind. As one world-weary observer in Washington put it recently, ‘Hillary Clinton is a politico. Right now a lot of her colleagues and associates are making good money from the MEK. They won’t appreciate it if she removes the trough.’
Overwhelmed with the Mujahedin Khalq’s money, Capitol Hill is on the verge of delisting the group. Who is next to getting delisted? Al-Qaida? Definitely by delisting the MKO, hypocrisy will be raised to a higher level in the “land of double standards”. Naturally we should wait for the removal of other Foreign Terrorist Organizations from the list at the proper time!
An investigation by the US Treasury Department has indicated that the terrorist anti-Iran Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) aka MEK/PMOI is financially sponsored by the Israeli regime or Saudi Arabia.. The Treasury’s probe has been prompted by the “openness” of the MKO lobbying campaigns in the US Congress ..
But the openness of the campaign and the large amounts of money backing it, with donations to congressional campaign funds and large payments for speeches in support of the MEK aka MKO/PMOI, has prompted an investigation into potential breaches of laws against financial dealings with banned organisations ..
Last month the senior Obama officials lied to the American public about any U.S. involvement in the M.E.K. assassinations, but a former senior intelligence official told Hersh that the U.S. provides intelligence for M.E.K. operations. “The US broke international laws, helped finance terrorism ..
The vagueness is such that prominent figures such as Rudy Giuliani have palled around with the MEK (Mojahedin-e Khalq or People’s Holy Jihadis) of Iran, which was on the terrorism watch list for years, with no adverse reaction from the government. But now the Israel lobbies have succeeded in getting the MEK, which has a secret alliance with Israeli intelligence,
MEK aka MKO/PMOI has American blood on its hands, but today the group is reportedly a huge help to Israel in assassinating Iranian nuclear scientists—perhaps part of the reason it is being delisted. Memo to terror groups: If you want to get off the US terrorism list, make sure you kill the”right”civilians and offer generous speaking fees.
The US government took charge of the MEK/MKO/PMOI facility, known as Camp Ashraf, and, although the Bush administration continued to characterize the group as a terrorist organization, President Bush cited Massoud’s cult as the source of “intelligence” on Iran’s alleged nuclear weapons program. Prominent neoconservatives began agitating for utilizing the MEK the way the Bush administration had used Ahmad Chalabi…
