New and Improved Comments

We are launching a major overhaul of our comments section.

In addition to more robust spam filtering and moderation, new features include the ability to rate other comments, sort how they are displayed and respond directly via e-mail or in a thread.

Unfortunately, commenters will lose their existing Truthdig identities. It's a pain, we know, but on the plus side you will now be able to log in with a plethora of options, including Google, Twitter, Facebook and Disqus accounts.

Before launching this system we spent months in discussion with our top commenters. We listened to the feedback and we hope you like what we've come up with.

Please direct any problems or concerns to us via our contact page.

I tried to start a revolution on Facebook.

It does not work.

Maybe there will be an update for that.

Who pays his salary, Google, C.I.A. or MOSSAD?

Or one of the Zionist benefactors ?

Well Said Gerard. It is all about people’s convictions of their hearts and minds. Google and Facebook just tools period.

PS—and it is the people who will do the reorganizing, the hard work of bringing about the many necessary changes.  Google is, after all, just another money-driven corporation.  The people is where the soul is.

Yeah, sure.  Google and WikiLeaks and the Internet combined to help people communicate and share ideas and feelings—but—- it was the people themselves, from the convictions of their hearts and minds, that united and assembled in the common interests of justice and reform.
