A message about Joseph Kony and Kony 2012 movement:
Joseph Kony is no longer in Uganda, he's been gone since 2006
His "army" has eroded down to about 300 and is no longer any sort of a threat
Calling for any sort of military intervention against this man and his "army" will result in all of those "invisible children" being slaughtered, you realize this right?
The charity behind this largely astroturfed "movement" spends a vast majority of it's budget on staff salaries and media, only about 30% goes to supporting the SPLA and Uganda.
The SPLA and Uganda's government regularly commit human rights violations that dwarf those of the LRA, these are the organizations that benefit from donations to the invisible children charity.
And finally, I like "quotation marks."
If people really want to make a difference in the world why aren't they complaining about Iraq and Afghanistan, where our very own military has accidentally killed or maimed as many as 132,000 civilians? How about the 8,000 deaths that have occurred so far in Syria, where militant Islamic terrorist groups are fighting rogue elements of the Syrian military and NATO/UN forces are pumping weapons and funding? What about the fact that our government is being pushed by Israel to invade Iran on the absolutely unsubstantiated pretense that Iran is about to go nuclear?
There are much better things to be getting worked up about than a militia in Uganda that's leaderless and barely functioning.
