    Pyongyang, September 14 (KCNA) -- The imperialists are extensively infiltrating reactionary ideas and culture into other countries by crafty means, vociferating that whatever is impossible to be solved by military threat and blackmail can be solved easily by cultural infiltration, hinging hopes on the "globalization" of culture, notes Rodong Sinmun Tuesday in a signed article. It says:
    The imperialists are trying to benumb the independent consciousness and revolutionary spirit of the popular masses and enervate them through the infiltration of reactionary ideas and culture into other countries:
    The U.S. imperialists are now bent on their moves to send midget radios and TV sets into the DPRK in an effort to break up the single-hearted unity there and degenerate and disintegrate it from within. This fact alone well shows how desperately they are running about with bloodshot eyes to destroy the DPRK, the bulwark of socialism.
    Out of the same motive, the U.S. imperialists are trying to send impure publications into the DPRK.
    Today, many developing countries are intensifying the struggle for defense of the consciousness of national independence and against the imperialists' ideological and cultural intrusion. They strictly guard against the intrusion of rotten imperialist reactionary culture, which is like a drug making the sound mind of the people anemic. They expose and condemn its reactionary and dangerous nature and take practical measures to block its infiltration.
    The vicious ideological and cultural intrusion of the imperialists is bound to go busted in face of the active struggle of the progressive humankind defending national character and consciousness of independence and desiring sound social development in compliance with the demand of the era of independence, the article concludes.
