Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.THE CURRENT exodus of 50,000 Serb refugees from north-western Bosnia indicates that the Muslims and Croats are well on their way to achieving their goal of creating a Serb-free Bosnia - a goal they failed to attain 50 years ago with Hitler's backing.
Many in the West who applaud the Nato air strikes argue that since Bosnia's Serbs are alleged to have committed more atrocities than the Muslims or Croats, they have forfeited their basic right to self-determination and deserve to be exterminated - something which the Croats and Muslims are doing. Nato is therefore an accomplice to genocide.
The Bosnian Muslims propaganda campaign appears to have won them not only massive arms supplies but Nato air cover as well.
The Western media has distorted the basic facts of the Bosnian civil war beyond recognition - portraying Bosnia's Muslims as innocent "victims" and Bosnia's Serbs as ruthless "aggressors". In reality, it is the Serb population that faces extermination. The Serbs have been so thoroughly demonised that the West turns a blind eye to the fascist regimes in Zagreb and Sarajevo - so long as they only kill Serbs.
With Nato on its side, the Bosnian Muslim ruling clique has less incentive to negotiate than ever before. The current Muslim and Croat offensives can be expected to continue until Bosnia is cleansed of its 1.5 million Serbs - all in the name of "Western values" and "democratic principles".
