MOSCOW K ASNAYA ZVEZDA IN RUSSIAN AUG 8 SECOND EDITION P 3
((LIEUTENAAN U. BORIN "INTERNATIONAL NOTES":
"BASENESS"))
((TEXT)) BASENESS IS MULTIFACETED AND INVENTIVE. IT TRIES,
AS A RULE, TO STING THE VICTIM ON THE SLY. BUT, DEPENDING ON
THE CIRCUMSTANCES, IT ADAPTS ITSELF TO THE SITUATION AND
SOMETIMES ALTERS ITS GUISE AND METHODS. AND IT CAN GO SO FAR AS
TO DEPART FROM THE TRADITIONAL CANONS AND START OPERATING NOT ON
THE QUITE BUT OPENLY, PASSING ITSELF OFF AS A "TRUE FIGHTER
FOR JUSTICE."
IT WAS IN JUST THIS ROLE OF A "CHAMPION OF TRUTH" THAT NAZI
PROPAGANDA ENDEAVORED TO APPEAR BEFORE THE WORLD DURING THE
YEARS OF THE BROWN PLAGUE. HOWEVER, EVEN TODAY, 4 DECADES
AFTER THE ROUT OF FASCISM, GOEBBELS' RECIPES ARE STILL IN THE
ARMORY OF CERTAIN WESTERN PRESS ORGANS. PARTICULARLY WHEN SOME
PEOPLE IN THE WEST, DISTORTING AND JUGGLING WITH FACTS, TRY TO
JUSTIFY INTERFERENCE IN THE AFFAIRS OF THE PEOPLES OF SOVEREIGN
STATES BY THE AMERICAN SPECIAL SERVICES AND THE HIRED KILLERS THEY
FOSTER.

OF WESTERN PROPAGANDA HAVE ALSO BEEN EXPOSED BY THE FRG JOURNALIST

(KH. KUSHNIK). "I ARRIVED IN THE AFGHAN CAPITAL," HE RELATES IN THE
BOOK "AFGHANISTAN THROUGH THE EYES OF AN EYEWITNESS," "WHEN THE
BBC WAS REPORTING THAT 'FIERCE FIGHTING' WAS TAKING PLACE TO THE
NORTH OF KABUL. I DID NOT DISCOVER ANYTHING OF THIS SORT."
WESTERN SPECIAL SERVICES HAVE REPEATEDLY SOUGHT TO SUPPLEMENT
MISINFORMATION IN THE MASS PROPAGANDA MEDIA WITH THE FABRICATION OF
VARIOUS VILE STORIES WHICH HAVE THEN BEEN PASSED OFF AS "TRUE
FACTS." CIA-TRAINED AND EQUIPPED DUSHMANS HAVE BLOWN UP MUSLIM
HOLY PLACES, SCATTERED PROFANED PAGES OF THE KORAN IN HERAT, AND
BURIED OLD MEN, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN ALIVE UP TO THEIR NECKS.
AND EACH TIME THE "FREEDOM FIGHTERS HAVE TRIED TO PASS OFF THEIR
OWN ATROCITIES AS...THE ACTIONS OF PERSONNEL OF THE LIMITED
CONTINGENT OF SOVIET TROOPS IN AFGHANISTAN. THIS BASE SLANDER WOULD
BE PICKED UP AT THE AMERICAN EMBASSY IN KABUL. AND SOME TIME LATER
VOICE OF AMERICA AND ITS YES-MEN WOULD HASTILY REPORT THE
"BARBARITY OF SOVIET SERVICEMEN."
BUT, AS CAN BE SEEN, THE AUTHORS OF SUCH FABRICATIONS ON THE
AFGHAN TOPIC ARE NOT REALLY BELIEVED. THE ANTI-SOVIETS ARE NOT
HELPED BY REFERENCES EITHER TO MYSTERIOUS "NAMELESS" PERSONS OR
TO OFFICIAL "DIPLOMATIC" SOURCES." AND THE INSPIRERS OF THE
UNDECLARED WAR AGAINST THE PEOPLE OF AFGHANISTAN HAVE DECIDED TO
THROW APPROPRIATE "REINFORCEMENTS" INTO THE SLANDER ARENA -- FRG
BUNDESTAG DEPUTY J. TODENHOEFER.
THIS WEST GERMAN PARLIAMENTARIAN IS THE BUNDESTAG EXPERT OF
THE CHRISTIAN DEMOCRATIC UNION-CHRISTIAN SOCIAL UNION FACTION ON
QUESTIONS OF DISARMAMENT POLICY. IN ADDITION, THIS POLITICIAN
EARNS HIS LIVING BY COMMONPLACE BRIGANDAGE. "FORGETTING" THAT
BONN MAINTAINS OFFICIAL DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS WITH KABUL, TODENHOEFER
HAS REPEATEDLY CROSSED THE AFGHAN BORDER ILLEGALLY. HE HAS NOT ONLY
SECRETLY PENETRATED DEEP INTO THE COUNTRY BUT HAS ALSO PARTICIPATED
IN DUSHMAN RAIDS ON SOVIET AND AFGHAN MILITARY SUBUNITS. AND DURING
HIS BANDIT ESCAPADES THE SELF-TAUGHT TERRORIST FROM WEST GERMANY
EVEN POSED BEFORE AN FRG TELEVISION CAMERA.
THIS HIGH-HANDED POLITICIAN IS NOW SPREADING RUMORS IN THE
WEST GERMAN PRESS...OF "THE USE OF EXPLOSIVE DEVICES DISGUISED
AS CHILDREN'S TOYS BY THE SOVIET TROOPS IN AFGHANISTAN."
TODENHOEFER IS NOT IN THE LEAST EMBARRASSED BY THE FACT THAT THE
FALSE REPORT CONCOCTED BY HIM IS JUST AS SPURIOUS AS THE
FABRICATIONS ABOUT "THE USE OF CHEMICAL WEAPONS BY THE SOVIET
TROOPS IN AFGHANISTAN." TODAY IT HAS BEEN IRREFUTABLY PROVED THAT
THESE WEAPONS ARE WIDELY USED AGAINST THE PEACEFUL POPULATION NOT
BY SOVIET SERVICEMEN BUT BY DUSHMAN GANGS, IN WHOSE RANKS BUNDESTAG
DEPUTY TODENHOEFER HAS ALSO BEEN ACTIVE. AND SUCH WEAPONS ARE
SUPPLIED FROM THE UNITED STATES.

((TEXT)) THE DUSHMANS' TRANSATLANTIC PATRONS ALSO SEND THEIR
OWN SO-CALLED "ADVISERS" AND "INSTRUCTORS" TO THE BANDIT
FORMATIONS. THEY SEND THOSE WHO WITH HIGH PROFESSIONALISM TRAIN
THE "FREEDOM FIGHTERS" HOW TO "COMPETENTLY" KILL WOMEN, OLD PEOPLE,
AND CHILDREN, TO POISON WELLS, AND TO DESTROY FOOD AND LIVESTOCK.
THOSE WHO HAVE ALREADY BECOME A PRACTISED HAND AT LAYING MINES

BY SLANDERING THE SOVIET INTERNATIONALIST SERVICEMEN THE
INSPIRERS OF THE UNDECLARED WAR AGAINST THE PEOPLE OF AFGHANISTAN ARE
TRYING TO REHABILITATE THEIR OWN CRIMES IN THE EYES OF THE WORLD
PUBLIC. BASENESS WOULD NOT BE WHAT IT IS IF IT DID NOT SEEK TO
ASCRIBE ITS OWN FEATURES TO OTHERS. BUT, AS CAN BE SEEN, IT IS NOT
EASY FOR THE PROFESSIONAL LIARS IN THE WEST TO MAKE PEOPLE
BELIEVE THE INSINUATIONS ABOUT "SOVIET BARBARITY." THEY HAVE BEEN
FORCED TO ENLIST EVEN PARLIAMENTARIANS DELIRIOUS WITH ANTI-SOVIETISM
FOR THE ROLE OF SPREADERS OF BASE RUMORS. SUCH AS THE WEST
GERMAN POLITICIAN TODENHOEFER, FOR EXAMPLE. BUT EVEN THE EFFORTS
OF THAT FAR FROM ORDINARY REPRESENTATIVE OF THE FACTION OF THE RULING
CHRISTIAN DEMOCRATIC UNION AND CHRISTIAN SOCIAL UNION PARTIES WERE
IN VAIN. THE PROVOCATEUR FROM THE BUNDESTAG HIMSELF ENDED UP IN
THE POOL OF MUD FROM WHICH HE DREW HIS FABRICATIONS.
