Hanging with the People's Mujahadeen of Iran

In 1997, US President Bill Clinton added Iran’s People’s Mujahadeen (Mujahideen Khalq in Persian, or MEK) to the list of designated foreign terrorist organizations, and in 2012 his wife Secretary of State Hillary Clinton took them off.

One of them erred and erred badly.

The MEK fought hard against the Shah Reza Pahlavi before and during the Iranian Revolution in 1979. Afterward, when the Islamist faction led by Ayatollah Khomeini emerged the strong horse in the ensuing struggle for power, they fought the new government alongside Iran’s leftist movements and lost.

Iran’s government insists on calling them terrorists and convinced Bill Clinton to do so as well.

They’re based in France now. They have to base themselves somewhere outside Iran because they’ll be tortured and executed if they go home. And they’ve formed a larger umbrella organization that includes other opposition movements called the National Council of Resistance of Iran. Every year they hold a huge rally in Paris that’s broadcast live on television (via satellite, of course) into Iran.

They invited me this year, so I went.............http://www.worldaffairsjournal.org/blog/michael-j-totten/hanging-peoples-mujahadeen-iran

پرغرور و شعله‌ور حماسه شکوهمند فروغ ایران در ۶ و ۷مرداد ۸۸پرشکوهترین حماسه تاریخ آزادی مردم ایران



سالروز حماسه فروغ ایران در اشرف را با تعظیم در برابر جاودانه فروغهای آزادی میهن گرامی می‌داریم و با تمامی عشق و ایمان، گرمترین درودهای خود را تقدیم آن گواهان صدق و فدا و پایداری و وفا می‌کنیم.

روزهای ۶ و ۷مرداد ۱۳۸۸ گله‌های وحشی و جنایتکار دست آموز خامنه‌ای ـ مالکی با خودروهای هاموی و آب‌پاش و لودر و سلاح گرم و چماق و داس و تبر و میله آهنی و… به اشرف حمله کردند، تخریب کردند و مجاهدان بی‌سلاح و بی‌سپر را آماج شقاوت‌بارترین ضربات خود قرار دادند، ۱۱مجاهد خلق را شهید کردند، صدها نفر را مجروح و دچار نقص‌عضو و بیش از هزار نفر را به‌شدت مصدوم کردند و ۳۶ مجاهد خلق مصدوم و مجروح را به ‌گروگان‌ گرفتند و بخشی از اموال اشرفیها را تخریب کردند یا به سرقت بردند. گروگانها تنها پس از ۷۲روز اعتصاب‌غذا و ۷روز اعتصاب خشک در آخرین لحظات حیات و در آستانه شهادت محتوم توانستند از اسارت دژخیمان رها شده و به اشرف بازگردند. اما آنچه هرگز برای جنایتکاران مهاجم و آمران آنها قابل تصور نبود، پایداری و مقاومت مافوق طاقت انسانی بود که زنان و مردان اشرفی با تمام هستی خود به آن قیام کردند و با دست خالی، تهاجم گله‌های شقاوت‌پیشه و تا دندان مسلح را با شکست مواجه کردند و رژیم و دولت دست‌نشانده مالکی را نیز در تمام دنیا افشا و مفتضح نمودند

«هدفي» كه براي آن شستشوي مغزي شده‌ايم! –ميثم



در روزهايي هستيم كه چند حماسة تاريخي در كنار هم، الماس درخشاني را بر چلچراغ تاريخ ايران آويخته‌اند. سر به دار شدن ۳۰ هزار مجاهد، عمليات فروغ جاويدان و حماسة فروغ ايران در ۶و۷مرداد؛ به ويژه اينكه اين الماس درخشان پس از كهكشاني‌ست كه آه از نهاد رژيم برآورده. آنچنان كه تا به امروز پياپي در رسانه‌ها و از زبان كارگزارانش مي‌نالد و تلاش ميكند با حرفهاي نخ‌نما شدة خود و وزارت اطلاعات و مزدورانش، در ذهن نسل جوان و تشنة آزادي ايران، چهرة مجاهدين را مخدوش كند. اكنون نيز با نزديك شدن به سالروز آن دلاوريها، باز هم رژيم تلاش مي‌كند همين حماسه‌هاي غرورآفرين تاريخ ايران را دستاويز دروغ و فريب خود قرار داده، شايد بتواند در مسير پر شتاب گرايش جوانان  ايران به سوي مجاهدين، مانعي ايجاد كند.

يكي از اين حرفهاي نخ‌نما شده، «شستشوي مغزي» ما مجاهدين توسط رهبري‌مان است. اينكه «سازمان… شستشوی مغزی اعضای خود را در دستور کار قرار داد»؛ يا سازمان براي «كنترل ذهن (اعضاي خود) يا همان شستشوي مغزي… (مي‌خواهد) از آنها يك آدم بي‌اراده بسازد… تا صد در صد (هدفشان، هدف) رجوی باشد». (سايت حكومتي پارس نيوز-۲مرداد۹۵) به ويژه اينكه «مسعود رجوي فوق تخصص شستشوي مغزي دارد!» (پاسدار محمود شاعري، قائم مقام عملياتي لشگر۷۱ روح الله)

پس من و ما شستشوي مغزي شده‌ايم! براي اينكه هدفمان، هدف «رجوي» باشد! اما بگذاريد كمي عميق‌تر شويم؛ براي اينكه بفهميم درد چيست؛ آيا مشكل نظام ولايت، دلسوزي براي مغز ماست كه شستشو داده شده؟ يا درد و سوزش عميق و جانكاه نظام ولايت، دقيقا همان «هدف رجوي» است؟ براي چه تا اين حد نگران است از «شستشوی مغزی نیروها در جهت نیل به اهدافي» كه سازمان و رجوي «در سر می پرورانند»؟ (سايت حكومتي حاميان ولايت-۲مرداد۹۵) پس اگر درد «هدف رجوي» است، براي پي بردن به ريشة نگراني و سوزش نظام و «حاميان ولايت»، بايد ديد «هدف رجوي» چيست؟

هدف مسعود رجوي، همان است كه در تابستان ۶۷ سي هزار مجاهد به خاطر آن به دژخيم «نه» گفتند و به رجوي «آري!»؛ همانها كه خميني مي‌خواست براي كوتاه آمدن از همان «هدف»، دست از نام «مجاهد» بشويند؛ اما آنها براي حفاظت از نام جاهد، با فرياد «درود بر رجوي» با طنابهاي دار دژخيم، جاودانه گشتند.

Tehran’s paranoia over opposition Free Iran rally in Paris

NCRI - For years, the Iranian regime has been peddling the notion that no viable opposition exists in Iran. In its relations with foreign governments, Tehran downplays the existence of a viable opposition, in particular suggesting that the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran, PMOI (MEK), has no major standing among Iranians and poses no serious threat. As such, for a long time Tehran opted the line of trying to ignore the PMOI and the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI).

This argument intended to convince its interlocutors that the only realistic policy options are either appeasing Tehran or waging a full-fledged external war. And given the tragic experiences of recent history in the Middle East, Iran’s mullahs remain confident that appeasement looks like the more attractive option.

The Free Iran gathering in Paris on July 9 punctured Tehran’s long held narrative. According to scores of media outlets, some 100,000 Iranians and their international supporters participated in the event..........http://www.ncr-iran.org/en/news/iran-resistance/20784-tehran-s-paranoia-over-opposition-free-iran-rally-in-paris

Iran’s Massive Crackdown On Opposition Shows The Regime’s Vulnerability and Fear

On July 9, the Free Iran rally near attractParis ed tens of thousands of Iranians from five continents and gained support from political leaders from many countries, including the US, several EU member nations, and the Gulf States. It also provoked the predictable ire of the Iranian regime, which has persecuted the constituent groups of the main opposition, the National Council of Resistance of Iran, since the beginnings of the Islamic Republic.


Approximately 120,000 political dissidents have been killed since 1981, most of them from the NCRI’s main constituent group, the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI or MEK). Tens of thousands were put to death in the summer of 1988 alone. UN special rapporteur Ahmed Shaheed has said that this year the rate of executions reached levels not seen for more than 25 years.......http://opinion.ijr.com/2016/07/258317-irans-response-opposition-rally-shows-vulnerability-fear/

Ambassador Bloomfield Speaks of the West's Misunderstanding of Iran

28 Jul - At the Free Iran rally on July 9 in Paris, Ambassador Lincoln P. Bloomfield Jr. gave an interview to the ‘Alliance for Public Awareness - Iranian Communities in Europe’.

Ambassador Bloomfield was U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Political Military Affairs from 2001-2005, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern affairs (1992-1993), Deputy Assistant to the Vice President for National Security Affairs (1991-1992), and Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs (1988-1989).

In the interview, Bloomfield addressed U.S. government officials’ misunderstandings of both the Iranian regime and the Iranian Resistance.

He said, the U.S. is "illiterate about the significance of June 20, 1981 when the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI or MEK) tried to uphold a ‘glorious outpouring of democracy,’ and Khomeini's theocrats ‘shot their way to power.’ From the failure to appreciate the true meaning of this event have flowed a number of other misperceptions that are only now being corrected - although ‘the work goes on’ to dispel ‘a global influence operation’ by the regime's Intelligence Ministry (MOIS).”

He explained that after the revolution, the PMOI endeavored to spread their message and garner support, but “on June 20, 1981, a peaceful demonstration by half-a-million PMOI supporters in Tehran was turned into a bloodbath on the orders of Khomeini, and the PMOI were forced to go underground and begin a Resistance campaign to expose and unseat the Khomeini regime.”.......http://www.iranfocus.com/en/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=30676:ambassador-bloomfield-speaks-of-the-west-s-misunderstanding-of-iran&catid=4:iran-general&Itemid=109

Recommended read: Michael Totten's account of the MEK

A recommended read for anyone wanting to know a little more about the main Iranian opposition group, the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI or MEK), is Michael J. Totten's account of the MEK in his article 'Hanging with the People's Mujahadeen of Iran', published in World Affairs.
Totten, a contributing editor for World Affairs, writes: "In 1997, US President Bill Clinton added Iran’s People’s Mujahadeen (Mujahideen Khalq in Persian, or MEK) to the list of designated foreign terrorist organizations, and in 2012 his wife Secretary of State Hillary Clinton took them off."
"One of them erred and erred badly."
In addition to giving a bit of background on the MEK, Totten writes about his personal experience of attending an MEK rally in Paris just this month. The rally was called "Free Iran."
It included speeches from the former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Newt Gingrich (R-Georgia), former Vermont Governor Howard Dean (Democrat), former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson (Democrat), former Congressman Patrick Kennedy (D-Rhode Island.), former Senator Robert Torricelli (D-New Jersey), and former Secretary of Homeland Security Tom Ridge (Republican). Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (Republican) was also scheduled to be there, but couldn’t make it.
The keynote speaker was Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, the main opposition coalition which includes the MEK. Rajavi, Totten says, is Iran’s Daenerys Targaryen, an exiled woman who wishes to overthrow an illegitimate government by rallying forces around her from abroad.
The account in World Affairs goes on to point out the Iranian opposition's 10-point political platform for a future Iran which includes:
1.                  A republic based on universal suffrage.
2.                  Individual freedoms, including free expression and a free press.
3.                  The abolition of the death penalty.
4.                  Separation of mosque and state.
5.                  Gender equality.
6.                  The rule of law.
7.                  The Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
8.                  Private property and a market economy.
9.                  A foreign policy based on peaceful coexistence.
10.              A non-nuclear Iran.

Hanging with the People's Mujahadeen of Iran, MEK - by Michael J. Totten

London, 22 Jul - Michael J.

They invited me this year, so I went, says Totten.

I was a little bit skeptical at the outset. Hillary Clinton only took them off the terrorist list a couple of years ago. Their roots are quasi-Marxist and Islamist. Their most strident critics insist that the MEK is some kind of a cult and that nobody inside Iran likes them. But I went anyway because…why not? I don’t work for them or answer to them. I can write whatever I want. I could denounce them as a gaggle of hysterical charlatans and propagandists and nothing bad would happen to me.......http://iranfocus.com/en/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=30660:hanging-with-the-people-s-mujahadeen-of-iran-mek-by-michael-j-totten&catid=4:iran-general&Itemid=109

الصراع العربي الإيراني: هل حان أوان دعم المعارضة الإيرانية

بقلم: د. نجاة السعيد

    يعكس الغضب الهستيري الذي انتاب النظام الإيراني من الصدى الذي رافق مؤتمر المعارضة الإيرانية في باريس، والتركيز الهام على مشاركة الأمير تركي الفيصل رغم حضور مسؤولين وسياسيين وناشطين من مختلف أنحاء العالم، قلقا في طهران من الرسالة التي حملتها المشاركة السعودية، وإن كانت غير رسمية، والتي تنبئ بأن هناك بتغيير في طريقة السعودية والعربية عموما مع السياسة الإيرانية ومساع لتدراك الأخطاء التي ساعدت على استشراء التهديد الإيراني بدل كبحه.

طبول الحرب العلنية تدق من اليمن
منذ أن انتهى مؤتمر المعارضة الإيرانية في باريس في 9 يوليو وبعد الصدى الكبير الذي كان له، خصوصا بحضور الأمير تركي الفيصل وكلمته القوية التي أثارت غضب نظام الملالي، بدأت طهران بحملة مسعورة ضد الشعب الإيراني.
وحسب ما ورد من أمانة المجلس الوطني للمقاومة الإيرانية في باريس في الفترة من 11 إلى 17 يوليو تم شنق 30 سجينا في مختلف المدن الإيرانية وشنق 5 سجناء في السجن المركزي في أراك وإعدام سجين في مراغه بعد 8 سنوات من الحبس. وفي الفترة نفسها تمت جرائم أخرى اقترفها النظام من إعدام وتعذيب.
وتم في 13 يوليو إعدام جماعي لـ6 سجناء في سجن جوهردشت في كرج، وفي 16 يوليو تم إعدام سجينين آخرين في السجن المركزي في “لاكان” بمدينة رشت. وفي يوم الأحد 17 يوليو تم شنق 16 من الضحايا بينهم امرأة في إعدام جماعي في مدينتي كرج وبيرجند
