The Chickens Came Home To Roost?
Christian Science Monitor releases a blistering report of high-ranking former U.S. political figures taking 5-figure speaking fees from a designated terrorist group. The purpose of the speeches? To get the group off of the list.
Former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell also spoke at an MEK-linked event and was paid $20,000 for a 10-minute speech….followed by Rendell’s call for removal from the terrorist list…
Andrew Card, former White House chief of staff under George W. Bush, told the crowd the gathering was a “great reflection of support for the people of the MEK. It is truly time … for the people all over the world who care about democracy to stand with the Iranian people and the MEK in the struggle for democracy.”

And there’s this:
It should come as a surprise to no one that all of these weapons would ultimately be turned inwards.
