LEAFLETS FALLING LIKE BOMBS: Absurd manipula-tions in support of NATO aggression on FR Yugoslavia evi-dent in the west European and American media have recentlybeen enriched with a new addition on the tactical level of themedia war. Beside showers of bombs and cruise missiles, FRYugoslavia has also been shelled with leaflets. Versatile incontents, they are intended for different target groups from

soldiers to civilians. Such pro-paganda material in its formand contents indicates the factthat its NATO creators do notenjoy any support whatsoever

among the people ofYugoslavia. The fact that theycould not even find a decenttranslator to provide grammati-cally and logically correct mes-sage speaks in favour of theabove. Clumsily, almost ama-teurishly written, lacking thebasic knowledge of the peo-ples spirit, they incite mock-ery. One of the leaflets read:NATO remains adamant toprotect the vulnerable onKosovo-Metohija. Killed civil-ians in Pristina or at least 70

ethnic Albanian refugeesdeliberately massacred in F-16 air strike speak louder thanwords.
