Can Time Inc. Survive the Kochs? November 28, 2017 By Jane Mayer
..."This year, among the Kochs’ aims is to spend a projected four hundred million dollars in contributions from themselves and a small group of allied conservative donors they have assembled, to insure Republican victories in the 2018 midterm elections. Ordinarily, political reporters for Time magazine would chronicle this blatant attempt by the Kochs and their allies to buy political influence in the coming election cycle. Will they feel as free to do so now?"...

Belgrade Women Honour Srebrenica Victims
“We believe that it is the responsibility of all of us, the civil society, to never end our struggle for the victims' rights, to continue building monuments to those who suffered and to advocate for July 11 to be marked as an international day of genocide remembrance,” said Stasa Zajovic, the director of Women in Black. Zajovic has expessed her regrets that there have not been any official commemoration in Serbia related to the war crimes committed in Srebrenica in 1995, where more than 7,000 people were killed by the Bosnian Serb army.
During the gathering on the main city square, Trg Republike, the testimonies of the families of the Srebrenica victims were broadcast. “We are aware that it was not the fault of the ordinary people in Serbia. The perpetrators were not the Serbs that we lived with. The perpetrators were Chetniks. This is why we wish to call out to all those people to condemn the crime committed, and to tell them the truth – the truth of the families of the victims,” said one of the women from Srebrenica. The gathered women carried in silence the list of names of 8,372 people who were killed in Srebrenica and its surroundings. They also condemned the recent statements by Serbian president Tomislav Nikolic that the killings in Srebrenica were not genocide. Belgrade’s Helsinki Committee says that in Serbia there currently is a widespread denial of the atrocities committed by Serbs during the war, including the genocide in Srebrenica.
