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 saw the sign for Greece and thought the very same thing, although caps for London, the Vatican, Israel, and maybe a mobile one for wherever the Bilderberg Conference is going to be held, would be needed as well. Talk about toxic dysfunctional people being cut off from humanity, these people always seem to be the first ones in the lifeboats, leaving women and children to drown; that’s the level of personal integrity we’re dealing with.

This is really no different than having some egotistical idiot scratch and claw his way over his fellow emplyees at MacDonalds in order to become “the manager” ........  then, the first chance he gets, he blames his employees when his numbers turn out poorly.

Restated, if these people running the show here, the Federal Reserve, the UN, the IMF, and the Bilderberg Group, actually had management skills, part of assuming those positions would also include accepting responsibility for when things go wrong. So, we’ve already seen what this is about. This wasn’t about properly managing our global population and or environment; it was all a ruse to make everyone think they actually knew what the F**K they were doing. We now know that the only thing they know how to do well is steal lifeboats.

only if they make another “cap” for DC and make sure all the politicians are at work that day ... i guess that would have to be on their “payday”
