Follow the money. The connection between Trita Parsi, president of the National Iranian American Council, and the Ahmadinejad regime. 

The following budget is retyped from a document discovered in the process of a legal lawsuit involving Trita Parsi and NIAC.  It is not clear if this budget is part of a proposal by Trita Parsi to render his matchmaking services for the Tehran's ayatollahs' liaison with the West, or an invoice for services already rendered.

There are also ample communications discovered in the same court case revealing Trita Parsi's communications with Ahmadinejad's men around the same time period covered by the invoice.   As part of these communications, he provided the Iranian regime with critical analysis of developments in Washington DC and NY.  He joined their private parties and festivities.   He arranged for Ahmadinejad's trip and speech at Columbia University.   As described by Saeedreza Jahromi, and detailed in Iraniansforum.com on September 23, 2007 Ahmadinejad spoke at Columbia University.  Trita Parsi's calendar entries obtained during a defamation lawsuit (a tactic NIACers use to silence critics) show that on September 11^th  he travelled to New York and had a 5 hours meeting at Columbia. The next day, Parsi met with Ahmadinejad's ambassador at UN Mohammad Khazaei.   In preparation for all these, a few months before the speech, the Iranian ambassador  granted a $100.000 donation to Columbia through Alavi Foundation.

Trita Parsi and his NIACers cult in recent weeks have embarked on another  intense, concentrated, and forceful campaign in Washington, and on the cyber space, against People´s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI – MEK).    Winning for them means paving the way for another massacre in Camp Ashraf, (where unarmed MEK members reside in Iraq),  and more executions of prisoners in Iran (several accused of relations with MEK and executed in the past months).   

Winning for Trita Parsi also means a probable bump up in his matchmaking services wage.
