First seen on DeadLineLive: March 20, 2012 - In an astounding interview uploaded on August 29, 2011 by Think Progress.org, former US Representative Patrick Kennedy is asked about his appearance at a rally on behalf of Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK), a US State Department-listed foreign terror organization (#29). He shamelessly declares that not only was he paid a sum of 25,000 USD to appear at the rally, but that he also believes in MEK's "cause."
Kennedy would further astound us by claiming Iranians are "exporting" rocket propelled grenades and IED's (improvised explosive devices) to "kill Americans." He states, "you could never pay me enough to be on the side of any group that is killing Americans," apparently oblivious to the fact that MEK is listed as a terrorist organization specifically because it has indeed killed Americans.
He would then go on to implicate several other co-lobbyists working with him, claiming that he stands with "a whole array of military leadership" in his support of MEK.
Kennedy's support of MEK - being a designated terrorist organization - is in direct violation of USC § 2339A & 2339B - providing material support or resources to designated foreign terrorist organizations. It is a crime under US law that carries with it a penalty up to and including life imprisonment.
MEK is a listed terror organization for a reason....
US State Department-listed foreign terror organization, Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (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.
