The World Wide Web remains a large uncharted and dangerously unpredictable dimension. Many partisans and extremists have fled the inquiry and accountability more or less found in the press to establish websites with the purposes of hurting people and spreading propaganda.

Most noted is the massive spread of misinformation about political candidates by self-proclaimed fact-checkers and bloggers. This is a miscellaneous section, whose major usages shall be to document the characteristics of a randomly chosen website each month, detail the positions and sometimes noted accomplishments of candidates running for offices, and dispel various myths.

Technically many secular activities shall be covered in this section and other actions not yet described will most likely be enacted here, such as major news events, coverage for charities, and so forth.

Double veto of draft Security Council Resolution on Syria a betrayal of protesters

Below are some quotes from a recent Amnesty International news report.

"The decision by Russia and China to veto a weak draft UN Security Council resolution on Syria, the day after the Syrian army launched a major assault on residential areas of Homs leaving scores dead, is a shockingly callous betrayal of the people of Syria..."

"Amnesty International said it would continue to press members of the Security Council to refer the situation in Syria to the International Criminal Court, impose a comprehensive arms embargo on the country and implement an assets freeze on Bashar al-Assad and other top officials. ."
