Invisible Children’s Propaganda Viral Video
Flopping Aces ^ | 03-10-12 | Wordsmith

I'm so sick of this viral fad video, I'm posting this counter-video up on my FB:

[VIDEO AT SITE]

Anytime you want to tug at heartstrings (attached to people's purse strings), bring in the children.

Backdrop:

The powerful YouTube upload is by Invisible Children, a non-profit organization seeking to end Joseph Kony's use of children as soldiers and sex slaves in his Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), a paramilitary religious group that has been active throughout Central Africa since 1987. Invisible Children is particularly concerned with Northern Uganda, where Kony has been fighting an ethnic nationalist war against the central government's administration, though he is not believed to have entered the country for six years. They urge the International Criminal Court to take action and arrest Kony so he can be tried for war crimes.

~~~

the advent of the popular fad comes suspiciously soon after President Obama's (unconstitutional) decision to deploy American Special Forces to the Central African Republic in October 2011. Although Kony is no saint, neither is his prime enemy in Central Africa, the proto-fascist President of Uganda, Yoweri Museveni. Museveni, who has been in power for nearly 25-years, is known for his affinity towards the United States Government, as well as his intense disdain for democracy.

Obama's move also came as China had started to make inroads into the region's oil production, threatening America's economic standing. Observers who paid close attention to the president's similarly dishonest war in Libya based upon national security interests were quick to discover the actual (monetary) goal of his administration.

Does supporting Museveni's government over resistance forces further U.S. national interests? If it does, then I'd lean toward supporting a brutal dictator over ushering in something worse, if not more of the same, if it also advanced our interests to do so.

A number of links caution readers to think before their knee reflex jerks them into donating to what they assume to be a worthy cause:

the organization is not as innocent as it would like the many followers sharing its flagship video to believe. Financial reports uncovered by Grant Oyston suggest the organization spent $8,676,614 in 2011, allocating a mere 32% to direct aid, while the remainder was put primarily towards advocacy projects such as the major video and concurrent outreach efforts.

What's even more deeply troubling about the organization is that its mission aligns with the Ugandan government of Museveni, condemning the human rights abuses of the military but otherwise arguing that cooperation with the regional authorities is necessary to achieve change.

this girl, if she’s telling the truth about her family being from there and still living there, is pretty spot on. And she rathe eloquently exposes the clowns that made the documentary for the typical, liberal, money hungry hypocrites that they are...

Glenn Beck was talking about this video yesterday, and how it’s aimed Goebbels style at youth.

He was speculating, the Obama administration may be behind the video, and that it may mean another Muslim Brotherhood coup is about to be justified.

Most experts believe that Joseph Kony and his rag tag army is a spent force and at present has no more than 500 fighters, though using guerrilla tactics he still represents a terroristic force that poses a danger to thousands of civilians.

The history of his army and its methods of capturing and enslaving children into its ranks as well as sexually abusing many of them, is all true.

It is a history that everyone in the region, every one in Africa, everyone in the world of non-profit aid outfits, every African government, the U.N. and all the western governments are very familiar with and not blind to either.

This new non-profit outift is a “Johnny come lately” to the regional agenda of ridding the world of mister Kony and his army.

They are wrong in presenting a presumption that mister Kony’s evasion from being captured is because those who are trying to capture him are no longer really trying.

How long did we hunt Osama Bin Laden?

The most likely prospect is that the principles behind this new non-profit are out of work, and how hard can it be to raise funds in the west for, supposedly, the fight against someone like Mr. Kony.

There's a lot of liberal platitudinous hogwash spewed far and wide these days . . . folks with little to no awareness of satanic globalist evils defending the indefensible.

The same folks who assign Obama, the Clintons and the Bushes their traitorous demonized tasks of destruction are the same folks who feed, prop up, manipulate, use, urge on the demonic ruthlessness of creatures like Kony.

They are the same folks who further spew filth from the "music" industry glorifying demonic death themes, rape themes, immorality of every kind . . . and thousands of ATSers buy the poisonous hideousness and feed their minds, hearts and spirit on that spew from hell.

They are the same folks who bugger toddler boys and sacrifice them to satan to be initiated into the upper ranks of the ruling elite.

They are the same folks who glorify infanticide as "choice."

They are the same folks who glorify the destructiveness to women and the family called "feminism."

The list goes on.

Wake-up folks. These demonized elite ignorant idiots do NOT have your best interests at heart.

They do NOT care for the environment. They merely use the environmental issues to further enslave the masses before they can get around to genocidally exterminating those they label as "useless eaters."

This Kony busines sin Africa is merely the tip of the iceberg but a horrific and deep rooted tip it is. It is a vivid depiction of the evil that has ruled the USA and the globe for a very long time. In the near term, it is only going to get worse.

However, we do NOT have to SUPPORT IT with silence, with mindless buying of more poisonous evil for our own minds and the minds of our children.

Wake-up folks.

Please wake-up.

My signature line has some worthy additional links for those who want to flee, have nothing to do with such evil.

There is NO SUCH THING as dancing with such evil unscathed.

There is no such thing as recreational demonization.

There is no such thing as harmless recreational sinning.

There are no such things as frivolous, entertaining, joyous temporary tours of hell.

There is no such thing as sleeping with the devil and waking up unshredded, unraped, unmangled, unscathed.

Pretending that Kony is over there in 'darkest Africa' and doesn't really have anything to do with us . . . is nonsense.

The same evil is ruling all the Western developed Nations and every other nation of any significance and virtually all of insignificant stature.

Just because such evil prances around in fashionable clothes; controls the Marxist Stream Media; controls the universities and schools; controls the political charades and system; clothes itself in color and sham . . . does NOT make it harmless nor neutral. Disguised it is even more insideous. At least Kony is starkly what he is--the worst example of human garbage currently available.

Folks just as sold out to satan as Kony is are ruling in D.C., London, New York, Moscow, Teheran, Mecca, and around the world.

And they have just as ruthless a set of plans for the populace of the nation and the world at large as Kony enjoys furthering.

Wake-up folks.

Please wake-up.

If only they directed their energy towards Mugabe, or the Muzzie terrorists in Nigeria.
