Kony 2012: Obama Makes George Soros Richer
http://noisyroom.net/blog ^ | 3.15.12 | AJ

Posted on 03/15/2012 2:12:01 PM PDT by Whenifhow

The Kony 2012 scam has been revealed and now it is time to look at Obama’s motivation to use American blood and treasure to wage war in Uganda even though Kony has not been seen for six years, is believed to be dead and American interests do not warrant this war.

Follow the money. Where George Soros invests, U.S. taxpayer dollars follow.

UGANDA:

Recall that we recently learned U.S. taxpayer dollars were spent on the writing of Africa’s new Constitution. The obvious question is “Why”? In October 2011, WND’s Aaron Klein provided the answer [emphasis added]:

Also in 2008, the Africa Institute for Energy Governance, a grantee of the Soros-funded Revenue Watch, helped established [sic] the Publish What You Pay Coalition of Uganda, or PWYP, which was purportedly launched to coordinate and streamline the efforts of the government in promoting transparency and accountability in the oil sector.

Also, a steering committee was formed for PWYP Uganda to develop an agenda for implementing the oil advocacy initiatives and a constitution to guide PWYP’s oil work…

PWYP is directly funded by Soros’ Open Society as well as the the Soros-funded Revenue Watch Institute. PWYP international is actually hosted by the Open Society Foundation in London.

The billionaire’s Open Society Institute, meanwhile, runs numerous offices in Uganda. It maintains a country manager in Uganda, as well as the Open Society Initiative for East Africa, which supports work in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda.

Soros will make millions – if not billions – off of Uganda’s oil industry and his other interests there.

BRAZIL:

Remember when we were perplexed that Obama’s 2009 stimulus plan (which is refunded each and every year) includes $2 billion per year for Brazil’s oil industry? We later learned that Soros was invested in Brazil’s oil industry prior to Obama’s 2009 infusion of $2 billion.

Public uproar caused Soros to liquidate those investments, but after the publicity died down, Soros went right back in and reinvested. Despite ‘paper’ losses in 2011, it appears Soros is staying in for the long-term gain.

Given that Soros has been a White House visitor since Obama’s election, do you think insider information, collusion and corruption may be in play?

CONCLUSION:

Does Obama work for George Soros or for the American people? While only two oil connections are presented here, there are many other examples of Obama’s use of American assets to aide and abet Soros’ interests, investments and agenda – as well as Obama’s support to other anti-American subversives.

Will Congress investigate and hold Obama accountable? Not likely.

Without doubt, Soros’ financial interests are being directly supported by Obama at the expense of American blood and treasure.

Imagine what Obama would do during a second term when he is unrestrained. Inform others so that they may consider who Obama really serves (and the lies he tells on the campaign trail) before casting their vote in November.

Clearly Obama works for Soros and does whatever is necessary to make Soros richer and more powerful at America’s expense.

Every move Obama has made so far benefits Soros financially.

They send us into Uganda because 1) Oil, 2) Uganda is against homosexuality and liberal socialist policy.

I believe that Obama wants to replace Uganda’s government as an “example”.

“There’s no doubt Kony is a bad man”. Define bad. This is a WAR. Bad things happen in a war.

Almost all the coverage about this is biased. I read a long article about this. I commend to all who haven’t read it. Be informed, don’t be a (knee) jerk.

http://www.smallarmssurveysudan.org/pdfs/HSBA-SWP-8-LRA.pdf

(snip)
“It is extremely difficult to obtain factual information about the LRA. Much of the existing voluminous research from northern Uganda is agenda-driven or fails to account for the overlap between LRA and civilian grievances and
perspectives. Because research in northern Uganda and, to some extent, southern Sudan requires the cooperation of the Uganda People’s Defence Force (UPDF), information is often coloured by the UPDF’s own perspective.

This report is based on focused fieldwork in northern Uganda and southern Sudan in 2005–07. The author conducted face-to-face interviews with a range of Ugandan and Sudanese civilians and community leaders. The military
was not present on these occasions and the interviewees were assured of anonymity. Members of the military from both countries, Sudanese politicians, and LRA representatives, including the LRA high command—specifically
Joseph Kony and Vincent Otti—were also interviewed.
In describing the history of the LRA/M–UPDF conflict in Sudan and Uganda, this report seeks a balance that has been sorely absent in previous media and
academic accounts. That the LRA/M can be seen as having arisen in pursuit of legitimate grievances—which at times have been shared by many communities in northern and eastern Uganda—should in no way be interpreted as a
defence of the group’s methods and tactics. Part of the story of the conflict, however, hinges on the use of propaganda and access to information; accordingly,
this report attempts to separate fact from fiction.”

Not sure if anyone really knows how often Soros visits the White House - he may not be a “logged” visitor.

I don’t remember what Freeper posted this stoopit scam last week but it was patently obvious.

Nice film work though.

From this page (John Galt)scroll down – see “emphasis added” section below.

Oil refinery land set for demarcation
(click on the title above to access article in full)
http://www.newvision.co.ug/news/629555-oil-refinery-land-set-for-demarcation.html

Uganda has apparently become the latest African nation to see a large oil discovery and gone from the rarely mention back pages of American media to the forefront as a cause celeb not because children have been murdered there for over thirty years now, exploited by militants and the governments alike. No, this is about securing natural resources and the individuals who produced Kony 2012! are simply being used by this government to create a justification for further military intervention to protect the areas in the map from Tullow Oil, PLC:
Map
http://johngaltfla.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/OB_Uganda_Blocks_28_July_2011.jpg

Until the video was produced then “suddenly” promoted by the mainstream media, I would wager that ninety percent of the U.S. population had no clue as to who Joseph Kony was, where Uganda was on a map, or that there was even an internal conflict there. Yet those in the investing world and with the monies to promote and purchase government influence via political donations understand the competitive nature of seeking and securing petroleum resources. The sad part about this is that

Emphasis added:

it has nothing to do with securing more oil for the U.S. consumer but instead protecting the operations of FINA Total and CNOOC, a French and Chinese oil conglomerate respectively. Thus the sudden sense of urgency to deploy millions of dollars worth of resources to eradicate an estimated 400 combatants brings forward the idea that the U.S. military is being used on “for hire” or mercenary missions at the behest of international corporations instead of their Constitutionally mandated mission of protecting the United States of America.

What do you make of this? 3 different resolutions ?

House members hope to parlay ‘Kony 2012’ viral video into action in Africa

http://thehill.com/blogs/floor-action/house/216069-house-members-hope-to-parlay-viral-video-into-action-in-africa

Reps. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.) and Ed Royce (R-Calif.) introduced a resolution, H.Res. 583, that seeks to use this new attention to call for increased efforts to protect people from the LRA and increase efforts to create an early warning system about the group.

Rep. Steve Israel (D-N.Y.) also introduced a separate resolution this week, H.Res. 584, which reaffirms the commitment of the House to capturing Kony.

“How often has George Soros been at the White House?”

At minimum five or six times according to partial data from the White House visitors’ log. Sometimes the reason given is “Social Innovation Fund Event.” Below is the link. One can sort by name.
