More on Neo-Con/MKO connections
They have not been able to kill the Richard Perle story yet. He now admits to being a paid speaker at an event to support an organization this administration has labeled as "terrorist" but claims he was unaware of the connection. I can't possibly imagine a way he could have missed the picture of Mayam Rajavi, the MKO co-leader on the official program/brochure for the event or the giant posters hanging at the venue.
While the assets of "Iranian-American Community of Northern Virginia", the main organizers for the event was seized by the Treasury Department, the guest of honor is busy with his Whitehouse duties, seemingly unfazed by the whole mess. I'm no lawyer, but going through various sections of the Patriot Act and ACLU's analysis of it, I believe there are some grounds Perle may be charged under this horrible piece of legislation. Maybe it's time for Ashcroft to send Perle to Guantanamo Bay. Law practitioner visitors, help me out here.
On a related but different note, Fox News (the Bush Neo-Con's mouthpiece) has been using Alireza Jafarzadeh as one of his commentators on Middle-East. Jafarzadeh has acted as the U.S. representative for "National Council of Resistance -NCR- (another pseudonym for MKO) and is currently active with a new outfit called "Iranian Renaissance Movement". His MKO connection has enraged even Republican Bob Ney of Ohio, but Jafarzadeh maintains that he was 'freelancing' for NCR and that was all before the group was added to the list of terrorist organizations by the State Dept.
This is despite the fact that even as late as August 2003, he was acknowledged as the "the National Council of Resistance's U.S.-based representative".
I don't know if I'm disgusted or saddened by this whole charade. I just hope one day we can look back at this period as instrumental and helpful in divulging the true character of various players involved in Iranian politics on the way to build a strong and healthy democracy. A real democracy with clarity and accountability and without the current games of deception.
Posted by Pedram at January 29, 2004 12:14 PMSince you mentioned Fox News... I noticed today (sometimes it's good to see what the "other side" is reporting) that Fox News has been using the spelling Usama. Maybe they read your post Pedram?
Posted by: Kristen at January 29, 2004 12:52 PMIf the original founders of MKO are turning in their graves today because of Perle talk, were they really
proud last April when the US finest killing machines were bombing and killing MKO people?
Were you logging a couple of posts a day to let them know how proud you were, since you are so disgusted today? No it happens that the subject of your posts were for the dates that you had those days.
So, let's say it for what exactly it is, MKO is playing the politics as they should. They are fighting for thier life, as they should. If you see the Kurds dancing with the US and called it as being so "trusting" why a different view on MKO?
So may by you, a single, balding, aging guy can sit in CA and talk about your date last night and take the high road every now and then, but I don't think they can, they are in a fight for thier existance.
By the way something that you forgot to mention today is that Bob Nay paid a visit to someone today. But I guess we should be just playing disgusted with MKO today.
what on earth are you talking about "BLANK"???
Posted by: Foad at January 29, 2004 03:36 PMIn 'No Name' logic, the end justifies the means. So, MKO or Kurds or X can get in bed with whomever they wish, to "survive" and no single balding, aging guy in CA has the right to express his opinion particularly in disaproval.
Isn't that the same mentality that has seen them get in bed with Khomeini or Bani-Sadr or Saddam and now Perle & Ledeen?
Posted by: Roya at January 29, 2004 05:47 PMUsing these "surviving" methods is the reason they are so disgusting. I think they are the most hated political organization in Iran,... even more than the Islamic government.
Posted by: The Other at January 29, 2004 07:41 PMMKO representatives recently visited one of the LA based TV stations to buy some air time for their fund raising event. They stated that they share the same objectives of Reza Pahlavi!! Fortunately, their generous offer to buy airtime was refused.
MKO are the scum of the earth. They brought the Mullahs into power and would go to bed with anybody to gain power.
It is fascinating to watch the web of deceit that MKO and their friends are weaving. Take Perle for instance, quoting Congressman Paul Findley "An FBI summary of a 1970 wiretap recorded Perle discussing classified information with someone at the Israeli embassy." If a US Government Official was giving information to a Foreign country wouldn't that make him a spy? So then why is this friend of Israel giving aid and comfort to Terrorists, the same terrorists who seized our embassy in Tehran. MKO has blood on their hands from their wanton acts of violence. Then the "Conservative" TV network takes a MKO spokesman and pays him to lie about Iran just like he lied about Iraq.

Posted by: online casino bonuses at September 16, 2004 11:57 AMCar Insurance premiums are not getting any cheaper, let’s face it. This means that the internet is becoming more and more important when it comes to looking for cheap car insurance in the uk . All of the major insurance providers now offer online car insurance quotes and the vast majority also allow you to buy cover online. What’s more, insurers that give you a discount for buying online are growing in numbers. We have reviewed the websites of a lot of the biggest online providers and have also compiled a comprehensive faq section to try and make your search for motor insurance that little bit easier.
Car Insurance
Car insurance from GNS http://www.finance-directory.eu.com/Car_Insurance.html
The number of people looking for this cover online is astronomical, and it’s growing every month! The number of people who search for “car insurance” on some of the uk ’s leading search engines runs into the hundred’s of thousands per month. This makes this market one of the most competitive within the financial services industry, as insurance companies and brokers alike clamor for your business.
You can click through to the websites of various insurance companies and intermediaries from this site, in order to obtain online quotations, some will allow you to buy online and others you will have to telephone if you wish to purchase cover. As we mentioned, some companies even give you a discount now for buying online, which in itself is a growing trend for uk consumers. We have all been comfortable with buying certain non financial products online for some time, but we are now also entering a phase when we feel we understand enough about motor insurance to confidently complete this process online.
Why do companies give a discount if we buy online? This is because you are effectively doing part of their work for them. If you were to call a contact centre you would be costing them money if you called a freephone number and would certainly be tying up ten to fifteen minutes of their telesales staff’s time. In any case, if it much better to research, i.e. get quotes, on the internet in your own time, without a high press salesperson on the other end of a phone trying to earn their commission. If, at the point of purchase, you do not wish to complete the transaction online then fine, you may wish to call then, but the internet is great for hassle free, cost free research.

Posted by: Acer at September 17, 2004 03:43 AMMortgages in the UK are extremely easy to get at the moment. Interest rates are lower than they have been for many a year and the competition in the mortgage market is so intense that lenders are discounting their rates and offering special deals in a bid to win your business from their competitors. This makes it a very good market indeed and consumers are going out in their droves to arrange a mortgage for the first time or even consider re-mortgaging their existing properties.
Recent news reports highlighted that certain mortgage lenders were allowing themselves to be exposed to some very serious potential future problems, by being too lenient with their self certification mortgage application process. This type of mortgage basically means that an individual doesn’t have to prove their earnings and can effectively state whatever they wish. This means that people are potentially borrowing up to six times their annual salary, which if interest rates were to go up could cause problems, as we have said.
When deciding how much to borrow it is important to build in a buffer that allows for a gradual interest rate rise over the next few years. This is not to say that rates will go up, but if they do and you can’t keep up repayments on a mortgage, your home could be repossessed by the lender. In the last few months rates have gone up by ¼ of a percentage point, which doesn’t sound a lot, but if they did go up a total of 1 ½ percent over the course of two years, somebody with a two hundred thousand pound interest only mortgage could see their repayments rise by around two hundred and fifty pounds a month, three thousand pounds a year.
Although interest rates are at all time low levels, first time buyers are not seeing as big a benefit due to the continually increasing uk housing market. It is much harder for first time buyers to get on the property ladder these days with them having to borrow much more than a few years ago. It is no surprise then, that recent research has shown that the number of first time buyers declined last year, but the number of people re mortgaging helped to ensure that total borrowing in 2003 exceeded those levels of 2002.
Whether you are a first time buyer or are moving house, there are several additional costs that should be taken into consideration when deciding how much you need to borrow. These include; Estate Agents fees, the agent selling your house will usually receive 1 ½ to 1 ¾ of the eventual selling price. Solicitors Fess; professional services are essential at this important point in life and good solicitors do cost a fair few hundred pounds. Stamp Duty; payable to the government this tax kicks in on properties over 60k – 1% being payable in tax, rising to 3% for properties of £250,000 or more. Removal Fees; you may decide to hire a van and go it alone, but if not a good removal firm will cost a couple of hundred pounds depending on the distance you are moving.
