#KONY2012 Video Hides US Support for Repressive Ugandan Regime
Joseph Kony left Uganda over six years ago.
Uganda government and military is oppressive and commits war crimes-it is also a government that passed the Kill The Gay Bill
The Uganda government is keeping millions in concentration camps
The Ugandan government is responsible for the deaths of over a million civilians
Note the USA has been backing the oppressive dictatorial regime in Uganda now for years
The US is more interested in freeing up Uganda's oil rather than the Ugandan people
Another concern is that inviting more US troops into the region may just make things worse as the US has done in other nations from Vietnam, to Chile, to Guatemala to Iran, to Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya ,Yemen and so on.
Another thing to consider is that by hyping the KONY issue is this taking away money and resources and the attention of young Americans from the #OWS Occupy Wall Street Movement.
This movement has so far been far too successful and is making those in power to take it seriously and to see it as a real threat to the elites.
I am sure Obama and those in power and the 1% would prefer young Americans focusing all of their attention on KONY than on the corrupt unjust American government which is a tool of the elites who are the real enemy of the 99% of average Americans.
Wall Street especially would prefer the public and media spotlight taken off of them.
The organization Invisible Children is being used by the extreme right , the Conservative movement , the GOP and the Religious Right to push their agenda in Uganda and throughout all of Africa. See notes and links at end of post.
Real Ugandan giver her perspective on KONY2012
KONY "Lord's Resistance Army " was started some 22years ago -
so why all the fuss now
KONY and LRA left Uganda over six years ago.
The US military is looking for KONY in Uganda when he is elsewhere
Is it a coincidence that more recently massive amounts of oil and gas were found in Uganda.
She suggests people think before they donate money to Invisible Children
It might be better she suggests to donate money to credible Human Rights organizations /NGOs
ie Amnesty International, Red Cross, Red Crescent, Human Rights Watch, Doctors Without Borders, Journalists without bordersand so forth.
Kony 2012 Video is Misleading
#KONY2012 CNN
Former child soldier says KONY2012 is misleading since KONY is not really an issue in Uganda. Josephe KONY and the Lord's Resistance Army have moved out of Uganda over six years ago.

This is a propaganda mission by the GOV. And to impose a complex issue onto simple minded social networks is totally irresponsible and the GOV is getting their desired reaction from those unwilling to RESEARCH!
The heart string tug is a great deception used by our twisted government to get people involved.. Maybe we should send over some "PEACE" Cruise Missiles to help them, ya think? Although I agree it is horrible.. I think KONY will become another Osama invisible and hard to find to justify a military presence in Africa. Just as this video describes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SanIGIomf8w
We could easily take this man out and they have plenty in Africa just like him!
Censorship! This website http://visiblechildren.tumblr.com which questions Invisible Children's legitimacy HAS BEEN BLOCKED FROM FACEBOOK.
checked it and it was not blocked on facebook my time11:59PM March 15,2012.
Is KONY just another over-hyped Bogeyman to help justify major military interventions throughout Africa to plunder thei resources.
KONY is a nasty piece of work but how much power does he actually have?
How many soldiers and military weaponry does he have?
Saddam was a nasty piece of work but that did not justify an invasion which killed thousands of innocent civilians nor did it justify a nine year occupation which is still on-going and has resulted in the deaths of over one million Iraqi citizens and a hundred to two hundred thousand so called insurgents?
Were the insurgents just Iraqis offering up resistance to foreign invaders???
This last video I wasn't sure of posting because it may have crossed over into the more bogus conspiracy theory since the speaker says that KONY maybe a CIA operative" which is a bit much.
I would prefer to stick with the less conspiratorial view that the USA, the CIA, the Pentagon etc. seeing how big the #KONY2012 is that they would as opportunists use this to justify more military interventions and the setting up of American and possibly NATO military bases in Africa.
In the same way I try not to buy into 9/11 conspiracy theories. I believe that Bush ,Cheney et al saw it as an opportunity to go after Saddam and to test Neoconservative theories about the US as a force for good? well they ended up a force for evil torture, mass murder , massacres, killing sprees, death squads, hunting human prey for fun etc.
But I do agree with the speaker about Qaddafi that Qaddafi was not as bad as the US made out since he was no worse than other US allies such as Egypt, Pakistan, Yemen, Honduras, Mexico, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia.
Just remember the US was the big backer of Saddam from 1970s til his invasion of Kuwait in 1990 but Saddam had thought the Americans had agreed not to interfer with his attack on KUWAIT.
KONY does not have an army of 30,000
The Ugandan Governemt has committed Genocide and the USA left them alon.
Uganda has passed barbaric laws against Gays. see notes below-
Invisible Children are liars and Kony 2012 is a scam

Invisible Children are lieing scam artists, who want to profit and maby even to start a new war in Africa. The CIA could also be involved in this whole scam.
ENDNOTES
On the influence of radical Religious Right and the New Apostolic Reformation Movement in Uganda here's a couple of articles to begin with:
American Evangelicals Play Role In Uganda Effort To “Wipe Out’ Gays Posted October 18th, 2009 by Wayne Besen at Truthwinsout.org October 18, 2009
In March, American anti-gay activists traveled to Uganda for a conference that pledged to “wipe out” homosexuality. Seven months later, a draconian bill has been introduced that pledges to make good on this threat. The “Anti-Homosexuality Bill 2009″ is so severe that it is designed to shred the spirit and suffocate the soul of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Ugandans. If it passes, Uganda will become a predator state that actively hunts down GLBT people to destroy them.
Sadly, this witch-hunt has the blood stained fingerprints of leading American evangelicals. The Fellowship, (aka The Family) one of America’ most powerful and secretive fundamentalist organization’, converted Uganda’ President Yoweri Museveni (pictured top) to its anti-gay brand of Christianity, which is the “intellectual” impetus behind the anti-gay crackdown. The clandestine organization’ leader, Doug Coe, calls Museveni The Fellowship’ “key man” in Africa. Jeff Sharlet, author of “The Family”, writes of the African strongman’ conversion:
“So,” Doug Coe told us, “my friend said to the president, “why don’t you come and pray with me in America? I have a good group of friends‚Äîsenators, congressmen‚Äîwho I like to pray with, and they’d like to pray with you.’ And that president came to the Cedars (a religious retreat), and he met Jesus. And his name is Yoweri Museveni…And he is a good friend of the Family.”
...These Christian Colonialists invaded Uganda’ politics and culture, and the result is that they have ruined the lives of its GLBT citizens. The Fellowship, Exodus and other American fundamentalist organizations, appear quite unbothered by the poisonous fruits of their labor.

Heads Up: Prayer Warriors and Sarah Palin Are Organizing Spiritual Warfare to Take Over AmericaThe New Apostolic Reformation, the largest religious movement you've never heard of, aims to take control of communities through 'prayer warriors.' by Bill Berkowitz, Alternet.org,March 1, 2012
...Spiritual mapping is the reconnaissance mission for spiritual warfare and involves the literal mapping of neighborhoods and cities to determine where the demons are. This includes generational curses, or those things in a city's history that allowed demons to take hold of the entire populis. Spiritual mapping is the ideological foundation for the now popular "prayer walking" and the formation of many city-wide prayer groups.and also check out:
Wagner, George Otis, Jr., Ed Silvoso, Ted Haggard, John Dawson of Youth With a Mission, and others created an entire genre of books, texts, videos and other media teaching spiritual mapping and strategic level spiritual warfare. Their access to the interdenominational world missions' movement in the 1990s helped them spread these techniques rapidly around the globe.
The Transformations movies produced by Otis, Jr. are promotional "documentaries" showing prototypes of this process in which supernatural transformation of a community takes place including the healing of AIDS, instantaneous purifying of polluted streams, and even growth of huge vegetables. These movies have been shown to millions globally, and Transformations organizations worldwide are attempting to replicate these prototypes in their local communities.
Uganda is featured in several of the series of Transformations movies, which include top political, military and religious leaders. Bruce Wilson's recent video, Transforming Uganda, documents Silvoso's claim that his International Transformation Network is "discipling" every region of Uganda and 14,000 churches across th at country.
It is important to note, however, that this supernatural warfare isn't limited to faraway places and underdeveloped countries. The Transformations ideology originated from Western evangelicals -- witch-hunting and all -- and the prototypes have included cities like Hemet, California. Ugandan Julius Oyet, who starred in one of the Transformations movies is a key figure in the recent proposed draconian anti-gay legislation in that country.

American Evangelical Lou Engle Promotes 'Kill the Gays' Bill at Sunday's Rally in Uganda BY Waymon Hudson, Huffington Post, May 4,2010
Over 1,300 people gathered at Makerere University in Kampala, Uganda on Sunday to hear American Evangelical Lou Engle preach at a rally and prayer service against "homosexuality, witchcraft, and corruption."and more recently:
Engle's involvement in organizing TheCall Uganda was mired in controversy from the very beginning given his long history of violent anti-gay and anti-abortion rhetoric and preaching. At past TheCall rallies, like the one in support of Proposition 8 in California, Engle called homosexuality a "spirit of lawlessness" and called for "martyrs" to become "God's Avengers of Blood" to stop the "homosexual agenda" at all cost.
Engle's newly founded chapter of TheCall Uganda comes at a time of unparalleled violence and animus towards LGBT people in the country, including the odious Anti-Homosexuality Bill, which calls for life imprisonment for gays and their supporters, as well as the death penalty in some cases.
