According to Calgary Sun On July 5, “John Thompson, [who is often called on by media outlets to offer up analysis and] heads up the Mackenzie Institute, a security minded think-tank, says… he was offered $80,000 by a man tied to Iran’s mission in Canada. ‘They wanted me to publish a piece on the Mujahedin-e khalq,’ he said. ‘Iran is trying to get other countries to label it as a terrorist cult.’ Thompson says he turned down the offer.”
Intelligence and security networks in various European countries like the Netherlands, Sweden and Germany have stated in their annual reports (including recently published reports) that one of the primary tasks of the Iranian regime’s embassy, intelligence services and proxies in European countries is to conduct espionage against the PMOI and Iranian refugees in the context of a misleading campaign to vilify the Iranian opposition. What the operatives of the Iranian intelligence ministry say and write has been dictated to them through their intelligence contacts in the regime’s embassies.
