As the US government confirms that terrorists involved in the Benghazi, Libya US consulate attack were indeed the very militants funded, armed, and provided air support in last year's bid to overthrow the government of Libya, yet another disturbing announcement has been made. Terror organization Mujahedeen e-Khalq (MEK) will be delisted by the US State Department in order to clear legal obstacles in the way of overtly arming and funding the terrorists in pursuit of a proxy war with Iran, the LA Times reported in their article, "U.S. to remove Iranian group Mujahedin Khalq from terrorist list."

MEK is just one of many terrorist organizations, that despite being listed by the US State Department as such, still receives weapons, training, cash, and political support from the US government. This is a pattern seen repeated in Libya and most recently in Syria - each case spun and excused with a myriad of lies wrapped in false, constantly shifting narratives.


The lobbying effort to delist MEK has been led by former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Howard Dean, first "Secretary of Homeland Security" Tom Ridge, John Lewis, Ed Rendell, former FBI Director Louis Freeh, retired General Wesley Clark, Lee Hamilton who farcically oversaw the 9/11 Commission, former US Marine Corps Commandant and former Obama National Security Adviser General James Jones, and Alan Dershowitz. There are also members of the British Parliament including David Amess of the Parliamentary Committee for Iran Freedom, speaking on MEK's behalf.




The US Has Already Been Arming MEK For Years

The delisting of MEK is merely a technicality to make more overt arming and funding for the group possible. In reality, and despite being long recognized as a dangerous, extremist organization with both innocent Iranian and American blood on their hands, the US has been arming, training, and funding MEK for years, beginning under the Bush administration and continuing unabated under Obama.



More recently, the British Daily Mail published a stunning admission by "US officials" that Israel is currently funding, training, arming, and working directly with MEK.

The article continues by claiming, "Washington insiders confirmed there is a close relationship between Mossad and MEK."



MEK is a Listed Terror Organization for a Reason


MEK has carried out decades of brutal terrorist attacks, assassinations, and espionage against the Iranian government and its people, as well as targeting Americans including the attempted kidnapping of US Ambassador Douglas MacArthur II, the attempted assassination of USAF Brigadier General Harold Price, the successful assassination of Lieutenant Colonel Louis Lee Hawkins, the double assassinations of Colonel Paul Shaffer and Lieutenant Colonel Jack Turner, and the successful ambush and killing of American Rockwell International employees William Cottrell, Donald Smith, and Robert Krongard.

Admissions to the deaths of the Rockwell International employees can be found within a report written by former US State Department and Department of Defense official Lincoln Bloomfield Jr. on behalf of the lobbying firm Akin Gump in an attempt to dismiss concerns over MEK's violent past and how it connects to its current campaign of armed terror - a testament to the depths of depravity from which Washington and London lobbyists operate.




MEK's history and even its current state is one of couching militant terrorism within the tenuous trappings of political activism - and provides a transparent comparison with which to use against Libyan and Syrian terrorists also armed, trained, funded, and supported by the West in pursuit of long since planned regime change.

Whether it is the US funding and arming Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) terrorists in Libya and in Syria, or delisting the already heavily US-armed and funded MEK in Iraq to carry out attacks across the border against Iran, the West itself is the premier purveyor of state sponsored global terror.

It is support that originates not within the alleged political ideologies of "Neo-Cons" or the current "liberal-Democrat" president, but from corporate-financier interests, articulated within their think-tanks, and merely rubber-stamped and sold to the public by troupes of proxy politicians using false paradigms to manipulate public perception. It is a singular, continuous agenda that will carry forth no matter who is elected into office in 2012, 2016 or beyond.

Until the balance of power can be shifted from the corporate-financier interests on Wall Street and in the City of London, back into the hands of the people and their communities, such agendas will continue on.

Rudy Giuliani consorting with MEK's political wing leader Maryam Rajavi in Paris, France. Giuliani is best known for his role playing a strong supporter for the "War on Terror" and his incessant fear mongering versus "Islamic extremists."

In real life, he coddles listed terrorist organizations in direct violation of US law and even lobbies for them.

One of the more interesting astroturfing/lobbying campaigns recently was for the MEK, the cult anti-Iranian terrorist group, which has succeeded in getting them delisted in the UK, EU, & now the US.


Probably a little over 2 years ago headlined ‘articles’ started appearing, written about the terrible plight of these brave freedom-fighters, and how the UN & the US government were failing in their responsibilities to protect & provide services for these ‘brave, idealistic, individuals’…

Nevermind that:

a) they are a listed terrorist that had killed US citizens, among many others;

b) they were actually a cult of seriously deranged, dangerous fruitcakes;

c) that there is plenty of information available about their past exploits, lunatic ideology & listing as a terrorist group.


After this was pointed out however, a whole array of commentators immediately started writing in their support of both the article & each others comments.

More articles followed, & soon they were popping up everywhere that had a featured editorial/analysis section, especially at the Guardian & UPI.

The articles themselves were bizarre, often referring in great detail to some event in Iraq/Iran which nobody had ever heard of, to show how oppressed or how good this ‘idealistic’ group was.

–and the reason no-one had heard of these events, was because:

a) they never happened;

b) happened, but had nothing to do with the MEK; or

c) was some minor event in which the MEK was involved, but was twisted almost completely out of recognition.


The writers too seemed to be coming from all over the place – hard-right military analysts/lobbyists, faux-leftist’, semi-official types involved with UN NGO advocacy, etc…

And in every single article, legions of commentators would pop up in support of the article, often bringing up their own bizarre claims to support the article, each cheerleading the other.

The people like myself that would comment, pointing out how nuts this all was & that the MEK is a terrorist cult, would just get buried under the deluge.


By last year, every single UPI digest had a featured ‘Outside Commentary’ on them, & articles in support of them seemed to be everywhere.

Anytime someone would about them in a blog, etc. soon the MEK ‘commentator’ cheerleaders would pop-up with a bunch of bizarre, complicated claims in support of them.

Eventually I just gave up commentating myself.
