The Downfall

Kayhan Daily complains de-listing of PMOI in Germany
Tehran, June 24, 2010
In an article on last Wednesday Kayhan Daily, Khamenei’s organ showed his deepest worry about the de-listing of PMOI by Germany’s Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution and wrote: “Germany’s interior ministry and a security organ there announced that the terrorist group of Monafeghin and NCRI affiliated with that group will be de-listed from the reactionary and terrorist groups of that country...Monafaghin have been enlisted in this list since 20 years ago...the political rule and intelligence and security apparatus of Germany yields to US  Foreign Ministry’s and Zionist intelligence services because of their embarrassing defeat in the second world war. CIA and Mused intelligence services use Germany as their spying terminal and for deployment of terrorists”.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry slaps Britain for having PMOI out of list
Tehran, June 24, 2010
A year and half after PMOI was de-listed in EU the clerical regime expressed once more its discontent. Regime’s Foreign Ministry’s spokesman, Mehmanparast said: “we don’t no the reason Britain took PMOI out of terror list”.
Mehmanparast pointed to regime’s latest plot against PMOI saying that it’s members wanted to explode some public places with support of Britain and some other western countries in regard of which Britian’s and other western ambassadors were summoned and said: “the last event was arresting some members of Monafeghin (the name regime calls PMOI) who confessed that they had been in contact with Britain’s intelligence services to execute terrorist plots in Tehran. This was the reason we summoned Britain’s ambassador and seriously protested such behavior. And we don’t know why did Britain de-listed this small group”.

Khamenei expresses his fear from the spread of crisis and schism within his bands
Tehran, June 24, 2010
While crisis and schism within regime has spread inside the dominant fraction, Khamenei called the downfall stage of clerical dictatorship as ‘very sensitive time’.
Speaking amongst some elements of Bassij he said: “today the country needs unity, any kind of words, moves and writings even with honest intensions that would lead to schism in the society and cruelty against some is against the country’s and Islamic System’s interest”.
Khamenei added: “preserving unity and solidarity in the society and preventing any dispute and schism is leadership’s opinion in this sensitive time”.
Khamenei clearly asked regime’s bands to act as he says and added: “principles and the directions of move are clear. Whoever moves in this framework is inside the circle of Islamic Republic”.
‘Demarcation with enemies’ is what he called the touchstone of regime’s bands to show how close they are to him.
Khamenei tried to raise its forces morale by saying: “current situation is sensitive today because the centers of world’s arrogance are leading the way in confronting Islamic move, the true symbol of which is Islamic Republic of Iran...but their hasty measures to issue the resolution, unrealistically maximizing the sanction and then their military threat all show that the system of arrogance is becoming passive in regard with the great move within the Islamic world”.
Khamenei asked for Bassiji’s presence everywhere and said: “we shouldn’t think of Bassij as a military organ Bassij is a public force and it must be present every where, at any time, any field and any sector of society”.

Mullah Eje’ee warned about schism
Tehran, June 23, 2010
Mullah Eje’ee regime’s General Prosecutor expressed his concern about continuous defect and demoralization within the clerical regime and said: “some who thought that they were the tick trunk of the System fall”.
Speaking amongst henchmen of regime’s Judiciary in Khozestan Province he added: “during last year...and by the enemy’s propagation and deception and cake and carrots and by imposing ambiguity a large branch of this three fell”.
Pointing to the incurable schism amongst regime’s bands Eje’ee continued: “today the enemy benefits most from inner disputes, striking from within the System... Enemy’s words come out from those who have history of service and have had positions and responsibilities. This is enemy’s quests for year and it continues”.

Band disputed in mullahs’ Majlis
Tehran, June 24, 2010
Mullah Larijani the head of regime’s Majlis attacked Ahmadinejad’s supporters and said: “You accuse this parliament of being an English bag? You accuse this Majlis of not complying with Velayat and threaten that you will close it? This is Khomeini’s parliament, this is Khamenei’s parliament”.

Majlis retreated 
Tehran, June 24, 2010
Following the pressures and threats of Ahmadinejad’s subordinates on and against the parliament, it yielded and endorsed the High Council of regime’s Cultural Revolution’s endorsements in regard with Azad University.
On last Sunday despite the will of Ahmadinejad’s government, regime’s parliament endorsed a plan. The government wanted to have control over the Azad University but the plan said that the university is a public wealth.
During last two days Khamenei’s bands inside and outside the parliament put a lot of pressure on it including organizing Bassiji mercenaries outside the parliament chanting against Larijani and Majlis and threatening him. The dispute was so acute that the bands called Larijani as ‘incapable head of Majlis’ and ‘accomplice of Mafia and Rafsanjani’.
On June 23 the parliament voted in favor of Ahmadinejad’s plan.

Iran increases pressure on political prisoners in Evin Prison
June 21, 2010 
 Political prisoners in Evin Prison’s cellblock 350 have been banned from calling their families since yesterday. The telephone was their only form of communication with their families.
A cell in cellblock 350 used by political prisoners was also evacuated and given to non-political prisoners and authorities have decreased the number of political prisoners’ cells. This issue has made the cells crowded because they hold many more prisoners than their normal capacity. Currently about 30 to 36 political prisoners are kept in every cell and almost 1\3 of these prisoners are forced to sleep on the floor. Despite the severe heat, these cells lack minimum cooling appliances and because the cells hold more than their capacity, prisoners are subjected to intolerable pressure.

Regime’s element conceded regime’s helplessness in regard with PMOI

Tehran, June 21, 2010

The first commander of RGC and regime’s former ambassador to France, Javad Mansouri pointed to the fact that PMOI is very welcomed amongst the youths and warned the head of the regime: “We shouldn’t be content that PMOI is stationed in Baghdad or Jordan. They are organized inside the country and they aim at rooting up the state gradually”.

In his interview with Fars news agency affiliated with RGC, Javad Mansouri being also an intelligence element, conceded to PMOI’s role in destabilizing the clerical dictatorship and said: “we didn’t take them serious, we didn’t try to identify them and we didn’t suppress them”.

“This is very serious. You think that they are there and are content with having activities in Baghdad and Jordan? No. They clearly say that they are organized in Iran and are active. They had said this several times”.

Answering the question that how he considers PMOI’s role he answered: “Hypocrite’s organization has had a great role in ruining Islamic Republic’s face. They had lots of sites and they made films and conveyed news. They were active both inside the country and abroad. Unfortunately we don’t dare to announce that”.

Answering a question about PMOI’s power and goal in confronting clerical dictatorship, Mansouri said: “their strategy is to weaken the System and gradually overthrow it. What is important is that they ruin our face. This is very important and we are unfortunately negligent about it. ...I went to Haj this year. Moslems around the world seriously asked us constantly ‘will you survive’, ‘are you weakened’, ‘what is going on’. I talked to tens of Moslems from around the world. They all had serious questions; you gentleman should have come and answered them. Important people had these questions too...”

Mansouri admitted that from the beginning of the rule of clerical dictatorship Khomeini has counted PMOI as its No. 1 enemy and had issued the Fatwa for suppressing the organization and added: “Imam’s decision was decisive and completely right. If he showed the slightest weakness the System would have confronted a serious problem. PMOI had a broad organization... and it was successful in gaining the support of West and East... If they were politically active, with such an organization, they would have won in the next two or three elections then and would have come to power...Imam said that we must act decisively in regard with this group because if they weren’t destroyed then we couldn’t uproot them easily in the future”.

Calling the vast presence of PMOI inside the country as infiltration, Mansouri said: “unfortunately during last years’ chaos we saw that many behaviors were just like the behavior of Hypocrites (or Monafeghin is the name regime calls PMOI) in June of 1981. We must say that after 30 years some of their infiltrators were arrested in Ashura!

When asked ‘why this infiltration is not announced’ regime’s first head of RGC said: “because this would mean that they have been inside our System for 30 years and we didn’t notice that. Do you dare saying such words!

The Downfall

Akbar Ganji counted Khomeini as primary accomplice who ordered about the crime against humanity; the massacre of political prisoners in decade of 1980’s

Tehran, June 17, 2010

Crisis within the regime escalates each day and each day a new taboo of the broke rule of Khamenei is broken.

In an article titled: “Ayatollah Khomeini, innocent or...’ Akbar Ganji revealed a glimpse of the crime against humanity committed by the anti-human clerical regime which was executed directly by the order of Khomeini.

Ganji wrote: “the first decade of revolution was the worst years of Islamic Republic’s prisons. In these years the worst kind of torture was implemented. The massacre in summer of 1988 was executed by the order of Ayatollah Khomeini which is counted crime against humanity in compliance with international courts’ penalty standards”.

Ganji continued: “Is there anyone that wouldn’t know that Ayatollah Khomeini is the commander of the crime against humanity (massacre of 30000 political prisoners in summer of 1988)? ...He clearly ordered that the Headquarters of Cultural Revolution must prevent Marxist students from having education and must purge universities from professors who have other views...”

In another part of his article Ganji pointed to the fact that Khomeini hated Dr. Mohammad Mosadegh the leader of Iran’s national movement and called him non-Moslem. Khomeini then adds: “people must talk of no one in this country” meaning that only he, Khomeini, must be taken into account in Iran.

In continuation of his article Ganji said that Khamenei is the true follower of Khomeini’s path and wrote: “... he is dedicated to Imam’s path more than any one else. Isn’t Imam’s path any thing other than the fact that ‘preservation of the System is the most essential and everything else including Islam’s primary practices can be compromised for that’?

Khameni is acting by that rule. Putting the opposition in jail, attacking houses of sources of religious law (Ayatollah Montazeri and Sane’ee) by hooligans, disqualifying sources of religious law from their positions, calling Mosavi and Karrobi spies are exactly Imam’s path.

It was Khomeini that forged the doctrine of Velayat-e-faghieh and Khamenei followed it. This regime is the regime of lie and deception...”.

Mullah Mesbah Yazdi fearing regime’s downfall

Tehran, June 17, 2010

In fear of the uprising of Iranians mullah Mesbah Yazdi said: “this is not the last sedition... we must be ready for the coming ones”.

Worried about the low moral of regime’s forces and its defected ones he said: “we shouldn’t be trapped in evils trap and fail the test”.
