Something is not quite right about this story that it made me feel uncomfortable watching the video. There is a hidden agenda, i just don't know what it could be...

I'm half way through this and my Spidey senses are going crazy. I can't put my finger on it, it doesn't feel natural, it feels "off". I can't explain it beyond that right now, still watching.

I have spoken with co-workers from that area of Africa and they do talk about the terrorism going on there all the time in the villages.

Did I hear correct, that the US sent a whopping "100 American advisers" there to capture Kony? Was there not enough oil, lithium, or poppy plants in that region to send more of a force to help?

Yea, and even that was hard to get.

Anyway, can you explain what you mean by "off"? Because i i really don't think there's anything "off" about this.

Thank you to seenavv for posting more current information on this.
I have to agree after reading his information that there is something wrong here. Either IC is campaigning for more funds by using Kony's name, Obama is going to use it to get re-elected, or the government is distracting us.

While I do believe in helping children in other countries, isn't there an old saying about charity starting at home? We sure have too many hungry and homeless children right here in the US.

One thing wrong with this? You really want him dead just hire someone to do it. There are special forces 'out there' who'd wipe him off the map for little less money than the amount that's being drawn in by this campaign.

Problem is - Once Koby is gone? Who's ready to fill his shoes? Who. There are no voids in situations like this I can assure you.

Beyond that - I do NOT like this man using his son in this campaign. Enough said about that.

From there I checked out the info on the pages? 30$ bucks for the 'kit' or 15$ a month. Added note? This push for April? The 'kit' ships 4-6 weeks. Do the math.

Yeah, something is wrong here - I just can't pinpoint it yet.

I hope the boy from the film (Jacob is it?) who's in the States as a what - ambassador for the 'Invisible Children' doesn't get dumped by the way-side when this is all done.

peace

Why is everyone so paranoid??

" this doesnt feel right "

" theres a hidden agenda "

Ya wanna kno why it doesnt feel right for ya?

Because your not used to seeing people actually trying to make a difference and succeeding on such a scale!

IT bugs me a little how there is no mention of Sam Childers A.K.A The machine gun preacher who has been fighting against Kony for a number of years and continues to do so and liberates as many of these abducted child soldiers as possible.

We as a race should help these children, and to sit at your computer and say " hmmm this doesnt feel right, i feel uncomfortable " is a bloody joke, YOU feel uncomfortable?? think of the children over there!

I wonder if this has anything to do with that crazy preacher woman from Africa who talks about children being witches.

Best video anyone can watch at this moment.

Best cause anyone can get active in at the moment.

I was completely moved by the movie, this is what we should be working towards as a human race.

classic misdirection
what better to use as a distraction than a worthy cause?

sidenote, i posted the tumblr to facebook to see if it would work
and it did
which is good
cus that's where it's at.

With the nature of social networking as it is today, I don't find it surprising at all that it went viral so quickly.
The charity has a very large following comprised of mainly young people, young people have more than one social network/media available to them, as do many others.
If you want a fire to start, you use something that will burn. If you want it to keep burning, you use more kindling.
We are nothing more than kindling the flame by sharing this, and social medias and networks are the easiest and quickest ways for things to spread these days.

I think the reason some people are skeptical about this is because it seems like another organization that is "using" a terrible situation and turning it into a "cause" not in order to necessarily liberate children and bring a criminal to justice, but into order to get rich off donations which never make it to the proper sources in africa......

and to spread propaganda as a justification for rooting international organizations into African nations not to necessarily "help" but to "manipulate" the govts to work in the favor of international interests, not African interests.

I've spoken with people who travel in those sort of nations, from what they say, very little aid makes it to where it needs to go simply because it gets tangled up in the corrupt govt system of the country, and the aid that does make it to the nation is not proportional to the huge amount these organizations pull in.....so where is the money really going?

A conspiracy theorist would be screaming "CIA front group" right about now.....but I'm not gonna push it that far.....

I will just say, I hope this group is legit and I hope they help these kids, it's the kids that matter.
