MOSCOW TASS IN ENGLISH 1223 GMT 15 AUG 85
((TEXT)) MOSCOW AUGUST 15 TASS -- BY TASS POLITICAL NEWS
ANALYST YURIY KORNILOV
HERE ARE SOME REPORTS FROM WASHINGTON THAT HAVE REACHED HERE
RECENTLY. FIRST: THE VOICE OF AMERICA RADIO STATION SHARPLY
EXPANDED THE VOLUME OF PASHTU- AND DARI-LANGUAGE BROADCASTING
AT AFGHANISTAN. SECOND: THE U.S. SENATE ADOPTED AN AMENDMENT
THAT PROVIDES FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF ANOTHER SUBVERSIVE RADIO
STATION SACRILEGIOUSLY TITLED "FREE AFGHANISTAN." THIRD: THE
U.S. INFORMATION AGENCY (USIA) WAS GIVEN 500,000 DOLLARS, INTENDED,
ACCORDING TO THE WASHINGTON POST NEWSPAPER, FOR INSTRUCTING
AFGHAN REBELS IN PROPAGANDA TECHNIQUES.
ALL THESE FACTS ATTEST TO THE FOLLOWING: UNABLE TO REVERSE
THE DEVELOPMENTS IN AFGHANISTAN WITH THE HELP OF HIRED TERRORIST
GANGS, ARMED WITH UP-TO-DATE DEATH-DEALING WEAPONS, THE
ORGANIZERS OF THE UNDECLARED WAR AGAINST THE SOVEREIGN COUNTRY
ARE RESORTING EVER MORE ACTIVELY TO ANOTHER KIND OF
WEAPONRY -- LIES AND SLANDER. PSYWAR SUBVERSION AGAINST AFGHANISTAN
AND ITS PEOPLE, WHO ARE BUILDING A NEW LIFE, IS BEING CARRIED
REALLY WITH "AMERICAN BREADTH."
THE METHODS EMPLOYED BY THE INSTIGATORS OF THE SUBVERSIVE
CAMPAIGN WERE BORROWED FROM GOEBBELS' ARSENALS: MOST ABSURD
CONCOCTIONS AND MALICIOUS MISINFORMATION.
THE CHORUS OF FOREIGN RADIO STATIONS, WITH THE TONE BEING SET
BY THE USIA'S SUBORDINATE, THE VOA, AS WELL AS THE MUNICH-BASED
RADIO FREE EUROPE AND LIBERTY CENTRES (WEST GERMANY) SEEK TO
PORTRAY THE CIA-PAID CUTTHROATS WHO SOW TERROR ON AFGHAN SOIL
AS "AFGHAN PATRIOTS" AND THEIR PATRONS FROM WESTERN SPECIAL
SERVICES AS "FRIENDS OF AFGHANISTAN" AND "CAMPAIGNERS FOR AFGHAN

IDENTITY."
THE ANTI-AFGHAN IDEOLOGUES STUBBORNLY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE
THAT IT IS THE U.S. RULING CIRCLES, THAT MASTERMIND BANDIT RAIDS
INSIDE AFGHANISTAN, WHICH ARE DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
CALAMITIES AND DAMAGE TO AFGHANISTAN. IT IS NONE OTHER THAN THE
MERICAN MERCENARIES, OR "AFGHAN PATRIOTS" IN THE PARLANCE OF
PROFESSIONAL LIARS, WHO DESTROYED 1,814 SCHOOLS, BURNT 40
HOSPITALS AND MORE THAN 900 FARMERS' COOPERATIVES AND MURDERED
OVER 200 CLERGYMEN AND THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT AFGHAN CIVILIANS.
THE CHIEF MOUTHPIECE OF U.S. FOREIGN POLICY PROPAGANDA -- USIA
(MORE THAN 8,000 STAFF MEMBERS, FINANCIAL 1986 BUDGET EXCEEDING
970 MILLION DOLLARS) HAS SINCE LONG ASSERTED ITSELF AS HEADQUARTERS
FOR SLANDERERS. WASHINGTON, ACCORDING TO THE REPORTS, IS NOT
GOING TO COUNT THE EXPENSES INVOLVED IN THE TRANSFER OF USIA'S
"EXPERIENCE" TO ANTI-AFGHAN COUNTER-REVOLUTIONARIES. WELL, THIS
IS ALREADY BEING DONE: IT IS AN OPEN SECRET THAT THE U.S. EMBASSY
IN ISLAMABAD REGULARLY HOLDS "BRIEFINGS" AT WHICH USIA AND CIA
EMPLOYEES PROVIDE THOSE INVITED, INCLUDING REPRESENTATIVES OF THE
PAKISTANI-BASED "AFGHAN INFORMATION CENTER," WITH PROPAGANDA
CLICHES INTENDED TO SLANDER REVOLUTIONARY AFGHANISTAN AND DISTORT
THE "AFGHAN PROBLEM." WHAT ARE THE RETURNS? MENDACIOUS
FABRICATIONS ABOUT AFGHANISTAN BURST LIKE SOAP BUBBLES, WHILE THE
PEOPLE OF THAT COUNTRY DEMONSTRATE TIMES AND AGAIN THEIR INVARIABLE
DETERMINATION TO UPHOLD THE REVOLUTIONARY GAINS, TO CONTINUE
BUILDING AND TO BUILD ULTIMATELY A NEW LIFE. THIS HAS BEEN AND
WILL BE THE CASE.
