America and probably Britain as well, need an excuse to invade Uganda to control the mineral assets, specifically oil. Joseph Kony will be the new ‘devil’ (see Saddam and Gaddafi) and western troops will have to invade to remove Kony from Uganda . At the same time, they will take control of the mineral assets and place their puppets in control of Uganda.
The main politician in the video who advocates the removal of Kony is Republican Senator Jim Inhofe and guess who have been his major source of funds for the 2008 and 2010 re-election campaign. From his Wikipedia page :
Fundraising
In the 2008 election cycle, Inhofe’s largest campaign donors represented the oil and gas ($446,900 in donations), leadership PACs ($316,720) and electric utilities ($221,654) industries/categories . In 2010, his largest donors represented the oil and gas ($429,950) and electric utilities ($206,654).The video is an attempt to manipulate public opinion into ‘something must be done’ with the ‘won’t anybody think of the children’ emphasis and that ‘something must be done’ will probably involve sending troops into Uganda. But why all of a sudden is America concerned with the children of Africa? It never has before.
I must stress Kony is a nasty piece of work and Uganda would be a better place if he was gone but experience shows when you send in the troops, it only serves to make a bad situation worse.At best “Invisible Children” are useful idiots. They are being played like a violin and I can see in my mind’s eye in six months time, President Obama wiping away the tears thinking of the children, as he announces he will have to send more troops into Uganda and at the same time, the stocks of the concerned oil companies rocket skywards.

"are y'all awareness motherfuckers for real? How long have you been aware of the plight of Afghani children and when exactly did you begin giving a fuck about them?"
All this time all you had to do was to make a nice video for us dumb people to raise an eyebrow about it.
And you didn't. Apparently you saved your energy to post a clever comment about that years after on qbn.
mmmh that's smart really...

Ugandans React Angrily To Kony 2012 Propaganda Film
'The viral Kony 2012 propaganda film has stoked anger amongst those it was ostensibly designed to help – Ugandan citizens – who see through the movie as a transparent ploy to legitimize a US military invasion of Africa.
There has also been a massive backlash against the fact that the Invisible Children organization openly supports the 30-year dictator of Uganda Yoweri Museveni, a man who resorted to election fraud last year to hold on to power and has been implicated in murders and acts of genocide against his own people.'
You know I was quietly glad a lot of people started reiterating the same criticism I was thinking about IC justifying more military influence in Africa etc. but honestly I hope this doesn't change their minds about the actual issues. It could be seen as an opportunity for people to look into these issues deeper and figure what IS the right thing to do, what the REAL situation is all about. There is still a lot of urgency needed around Africa but not the "Kony 2012" kind.
- no, how about you stay the fuck away from it, anyone with a hint of african history knows that collonianism is what brought it to the state it is at the present, just look at the belgian / congolese relation for a startgeorgesIII
- the state it is at the present, just look at the belgian / congolese relation for a start, look at what they did there, no one was ever prosecuted,georgesIII
- prosecuted, yet it makes me laugh when people assume there are lots of problem in africa without knowing the history of it,georgesIII
- they put the seed there and let it grow untill it became the cluster fuck it is presently, fuck kony, fuck ic, fuck neocolonialismgeorgesIII
- I don't get what your point is. There are lots of problems in africa thanks to colonialism... we should think about thatuuuuuu
- maybe you don't get my point... note sureuuuuuu
- I should have an automatic script that stops me from posting after a 13h day of workgeorgesIII
- heheh... know what you meanuuuuuu

for some reason i feel more compelled to not watch this than to watch this. I'm thinking the only reason i feel this way is because every person on facebook has something to say about it. I'm really feeling like I may be better off not watching it.
