Yes they are the political front of the MEK. There are hundreds of pages of material you could read. It's one of the most disturbing and creepy organizations on the planet. Though they are clever at trying to hide search results.
Now based in Albania of all places. Members can't leave the camp. The founder her husband has disappeared. The woman probably had him offed. She is a absolute loon and creep.

No this cabinet is almost messianic outside of a couple lower figures. Folks like Hegseth are messianic about Israel. Frankly Iran is in such a weakened state at the moment a few pot shots probably wouldn't hurt, but regime change is another matter.

The level of grift or what anyone will do for a check here is simply unbelievable. We are a cesspool of corruption. No principles.
