Rodong Sinmun Calls for Frustrating Imperialists' Ideological and Cultural Poisoning

  Pyongyang, September 24 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun Tuesday in an article calls on the countries and people aspiring after the independent development and social progress to have clear understanding of the danger and aftereffects of the imperialists' bourgeois ideological and cultural poisoning and nip it in its bud.
    Dignity of nations is being mercilessly violated and development of their economy is disturbed in some countries and regions, the article notes, and goes on:
    Such abnormal situation is ascribable to the fact that those countries didn't stand resolutely against the imperialists' ideological and cultural poisoning as they failed to keep strict vigilance over it.
    The imperialists have desperately worked to disseminate bourgeois ideology and culture as a single criterion. This is aimed to create illusions about them and dominate other countries at will by letting their idea and culture prevail in the world. This is an ulterior design reflected in "freedom" of idea and culture touted by them.
    The imperialists are abusing the "freedom" of idea and culture as a pretext to deliberately interfere in the internal affairs of other countries and violate and infringe upon their state sovereignty.
    They are accusing the countries not tolerating bourgeois idea and culture of violating "human rights". This smear campaign is a prelude to invasion, as evidenced by the situation in some Mideast countries in recent years.
    Now the main target of the imperialists' ideological and cultural poisoning is the anti-imperialist independent countries and those with rich natural resources or in strategic vantage points.
    Openly trumpeting they can easily topple with bourgeois idea and culture even those countries they find it hard to bring down with nuclear weapons, the imperialists are staging vicious campaign to disseminate their corrupt idea and culture.
    The situation calls on all countries to totally reject the imperialists' bourgeois ideological and cultural poisoning and wage strenuous actions against it. -0-
