MEK Recruiting on the Front Page of Iranian.com & Censored Facts About that Information
by CIM
04-Jul-2012
 

This blog is to note falsehoods in the article titled 'Mujahedeen's Moment' and featured on the front page of Iranian.com.

 

1.  It has been established that  the statement, "The unprecedented, massive turnout of 100,000-plus participants" is a lie.  An aerial photo of a 100,000 person population from the town of Lodi, California was included for comparative purposes to show the suspect nature of the claim that 100,000 people attended the MEK rally. 


2.  It has been established that the source for 100,000 figure was the MEK itself, and that it used shell organizations masquerading as news-outlets to disseminate the false claim about the size of the rally, which was also re-published on the front page of Iranian.com as a fact without any form of independent verification of the claim.  Iranian.com then excluded two of our contributions critical of the unchecked and deceptive attendee figure in which we also noted that inflated attendance records are commonly used as a recruiting device to give the false impression that a group is more popular than it is.


3.  The so-called news outlets below are the MEK. We have verified many many Iranian organizations and news sources (not just the MEK) hiding pertinent facts about the nature of their group through the use of a multiplicity of names.     


a.  MEK = //www.stopfundamentalism.com/

b.  MEK = //www.occdi.org/   "Organizing Committee for Convention for Democracy in Iran"

c.  MEK = //www.ncr-iran.org/en/  "The National Council of Resistance of Iran"

 

 

 

4.  Previously the MEK has used rent-a-crowd audiences -- who have been shown in up close footage and interviews to not have been "Iranians."  Given these verified past practices, this article's claim that the attendees were "100,000 Iranians" is doubly suspect both as to the overall figure and as to the ethnicity of the attendees in light of the prior deceptive practice.   


5.  The statement, "Since no government provides material support to the PMOI..." is false.  We have verified that funding has been provided through various means, including through a Swiss company called Interop that is headed by Danny Yatom, the former head of Israel's Mossad.   France also provides material support in allowing the MEK to base its organizing activities from its soil (as did the former government of Iraq), and a number of recently retired US government figures support the MEK, raising the inference that prior to leaving government service MEK enjoyed support among some of these figures.   The government of France also looks the other way to MEK fundraising characterized as 'charities helping foreign people in need,' that include offers of 'sightseeing and tourism' to recruit supporters and raise money.

Wahid, I think you've been Sourcewatched!

by Anonymous Observer on

Dude, I don't know who's done it, but it's pretty clever.  It's combination of your old name and your "prophet" name.  They must have gotten around all the precautions that you put in to avoid being Sourcewatched.  These Baha'i Jews...man...they're just beyond evil.  Check it out for yourself.  It takes a bit of effort, but you'll eventually find it.  Just keep putting in different combinations of the two names, and you'll find it...and boy...is it BAD!!  

Good luck man...You'll need it!

MEK money trail & recruits - 1 of the prior sources

by CIM on

One of the many MEK fronts for collecting money appears to have been the “Society for the Support of Iranian Refugee Children” in Germany. 

Germany's "Focus" magazine, issue number 2000/29 stated: 

“Reliable information indicates that MKO, with prior intention, separated children from their families [in Iraq] and secretly brought them to Germany and under the false pretences that they were orphans and homeless children, lodged them in the Child Care buildings so that it could receive governmental financial aid and then transfer it to the bank account of the  organisation. For this purpose the Society for the Support of Iranian Homeless Children in Köln was established in 1993. From the text of the Code of Conduct of the Society, it was obvious that these children were kept under the strict supervision of Iranian mentors, so that under a brain-washing program, [they could] prepare these children to return to Iraq and fight...."

Check for yourself

by CIM on

Check the capacity size of the hall which holds 10,000 people for yourself, which the MEK claimed held 100,000 people while Iranian.com keeps burying our attempts to call that information to your attention by hiding it on the backpage.    If you support the MEK, that's not our concern: CIM's job is not to tell you who you should support.  But if you care about whether you are being manipulated through false online content you should fully request for the individuals we want to interview, including the owners and operators of this website, to submit to an interview.  We have requested more information from a  correspondent in Paris about this story and will update this blog in the comments section with that information.
