Description

(I'm not sure why the border moves and I'm currently too frustrated with Fireworks to fix it.)

Did you know? Informants in Africa claim that Joseph Kony has been dead since 2010.
He was captured in Northern Uganda during an operation sponsored by US Special forces who participated in the capture, torture and execution of Joseph Kony, hundreds of his fighters and children (many pre-teen) who had been recruited into the LRA.

Source, which also includes a plethora of links in addition to the ones you will be shown by me.

So, let's see: Strong military backlash wound up executing kidnapped children. This is the sort of extreme that Invisible Children is pushing.

But let's say this is a false lead. Consider this bad joojoo, then:
:bulletred: IC targets Uganda, despite the fact Kony has NOT been active in Uganda since 2006, something IC admits to themselves. www.reddit.com/r/videos/commen…
:bulletred: IC's funds go to supporting MILITARY GROUPS, such as the Ugandan army and the Sudan's People Liberation Army, both of which have come under fire repeatedly for rape , war crimes, human rights violations and other violence, INCLUDING USING CHILD SOLDIERS. books.google.ca/books?id=czMrN… books.google.ca/books?id=tVOCI… www.observer.ug/index.php?opti… www.reddit.com/r/videos/commen… www.voanews.com/content/un-con… www.unhcr.org/refworld/country… www.voanews.com/content/un-con… blog.foreignpolicy.com/posts/2… allafrica.com/stories/20120221… www.hrw.org/news/2011/03/23/ug… chzdailywhat.files.wordpress.c… (This image is of them posing with SPLA at a time when child recruitment was happening [see below])
:bulletred: Many Africans, especially Ugandans, are pretty pissed at the push for a more militant government and for Invisible Children's attempted involvement with their government. They do NOT support IC. www.telegraph.co.uk/news/world… www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/b… projectdiaspora.org/wp-content… newswatch.nationalgeographic.c… www.birdsontheblog.co.uk/invis… www.newyorker.com/arts/critics… www.theresolve.org/blog/archiv… pomee.tumblr.com/post/18899601… www.ethanzuckerman.com/blog/20…
:bulletred: Kony was on the run, defeated, and inactive as of 2006. ilto.wordpress.com/2006/11/02/…
:bulletred: IC has been HEAVILY CRITICIZED by various groups and persons, including US Foreign Affairs, Yale professors, human rights lawyers, activists, doctors, charities, political science groups, news reporters, and political commentators. chrisblattman.com/2009/03/04/v… www.foreignaffairs.com/article… siena-anstis.com/wp-content/up… www.huffingtonpost.com/michael… justiceandreconciliation.com/2… www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/b… www.humanicontrarian.com/2012/… www.misr.mak.ac.ug/index.php?o… tumblr.thedailywh.at/post/1890… thedailywh.at/2012/03/12/more-…
:bulletred: IC focuses on commercialism, not actual issues, and the money that doesn't go to funding war machines goes to personal funding of the founders. www.mediaite.com/online/direct… www.nytimes.com/2012/03/09/wor… c2052482.r82.cf0.rackcdn.com/i…
:bulletred: The Better Business Bureau and Charity Navigator find IC suspicious and untrustworthy. www.bbb.org/charity-reviews/na… www.charitynavigator.org/index…

Discontented yet? There's still more to consider:
:bulletorange: IC receives funding from Christian fundamentalist groups or groups/persons backed by Christian fundamentalist groups, including The Family. blogs.alternet.org/speakeasy/2… www.towleroad.com/2012/03/kony… boingboing.net/2012/03/12/kony… jezebel.com/5892566/kony-2012-… www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03… www.truthwinsout.org/blog/2012… www.queerty.com/if-you-were-lo…
:bulletorange: Did you notice all the "anti-gay" up there? Haha, indeed, The Family (which is identified as a hate group), along with Exodus International, are quite involved in Christian fundamentalism against the LGBT community, especially in Uganda, in fact, they are the ones behind, directly tied to, and heavily supporting the infamous "Kill the Gays" bill. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uganda_A… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Li… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fell… www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2010… www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2010… boingboing.net/2012/04/04/hidd…
:bulletorange: Not convincing enough? Turns out IC has come under fire for possible connections to the Ugandan pastor who radically lobbies for the bill, although they deny this connection. thinkprogress.org/lgbt/2012/03…
:bulletorange: Despite denying the connection and "supporting gay rights", the founders STILL refer to themselves as a "Trojan Horse" into Uganda (and other areas) to promote Christian fundamentalist ideals. www.huffingtonpost.com/bruce-w… www.truthwinsout.org/feature/2… www.queerty.com/jason-russell-… thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/… www.theatlantic.com/internatio…
:bulletorange: Last, upon being arrested for masturbating in public and being a general dick to everyone, it is revealed a founder is overtly Christian and plans to have 11 children (many children is common amongst evangelicals). www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03… www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local… www.commondreams.org/headline/…

Are you questioning now?
