US Hawks Want to Support Terrorists in Iran

Can't say I didn't see this coming.

Democratic Representative and Chairman of the House Veterans' Affairs Committee, Bob Filner and former House Speaker and leading Republican hawk Newt Gingrich (who is a paid spokesman of the Israeli Zionist movement, by the way) have called for greater efforts to topple the Iranian government.

They are suggesting greater support for so called "resistance groups" in Iran, emphasizing the Mujahedin-e-Khalq Organization (MKO), which is listed as a terrorist group in Iran, Iraq, Canada, and the US and is responsible for bombings, killings and attacks against Iranian government officials and civilians over the past 30 years.

The two also talked of a "sabotage" of Iran's oil and gas industry, which would then trigger an economic crisis bringing down the Iranian government.

"[We] should use covert operations to create a gasoline-led crisis to try and replace the regime," Gingrich was quoted as saying.

This wouldn't be the first time a known terrorist group would be supported by the US and the idea of attacking Iran's oil industry isn't new either.M any leading analysts and politicians have already explored its feasibility and effectiveness, but there is generally little outward talk of support for a terrorist group.

According to Presstv MKO has claimed responsibility for killings of such Iranian leaders as the late president Mohammad-Ali Rajaei, prime minister Mohammad-Javad Bahonar and judiciary chief Ayatollah Mohammad Beheshti.

The MKO is also known to have cooperated with former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hossein in suppressing the 1991 uprisings in southern Iraq and the massacre of Iraqi Kurds.

The organization is also notorious for using cult-like tactics against its own members and for torturing and murdering its defectors.

In a report by Investigative journalist Seymour Hersh it was revealed that the US is already spending USD 400 million to fund covert operations inside Iran. Like maybe the post-election riots? Maybe?

More information on the subject via Presstv:

Other than the MKO, other terrorist groups, such as PJAK and Jundullah, are believed to be the beneficiaries of the US plan.

PJAK is an offshoot of the internationally-recognized terrorist group the Kurdistan Workers' Party or PKK that carries out its deadly operations in Iran's Western Kurdish populated regions.

A 2006 article published by The New Yorker suggested that the US military and Israel provide PJAK separatists with equipment, training and intelligence to destabilize Iran.

A 2007 Sunday Telegraph report revealed that the CIA had created Jundullah and provided it with 'arms-length support' and 'money and weapons' to achieve 'regime change in Iran'.

Another report posted by ABC also revealed that US officials had ordered Jundullah to 'stage deadly guerrilla raids inside the Islamic Republic, kidnap Iranian officials and execute them on camera', all as part of a 'programmatic objective to overthrow the Iranian government'.

Anyone who is naive enough to think that the US government and the US media is interested in Iran for anything other than its own gain (read OIL) needs to turn off the TV and take a good look at the facts.

The US is fighting "terrorists" while supporting them at the same time? This makes no sense.

By the way the Webster definition of a terrorist is, "a person who uses terrorism (the use of violence and intimidation) in the pursuit of political gains." If the policies and practices of the US don't fall under the label of terrorism, I don't know what does.

So people, open up your eyes and look around! It is s different world once you leave the Western media bubble.
