Kony 2012 Campaign Sinks Under Scrutiny

Written by Raven Clabough

The Kony 2012 campaign that propelled into immediate notoriety for several days collapsed almost as quickly and as ferociously as it rose. Though Invisible Children’s Kony 2012 documentary initially tugged at the heartstrings of Americans, harsh scrutiny of the video and of the entire campaign unveiled the underlying agenda for an expanded US AFRICOM presence in Africa, and therefore forced the Kony campaign back down to the dustbin of “movements” history, where all failed movements go to die.
For those who are unaware, the activism organization Invisible Children put out a documentary called Kony 2012 about Joseph Kony, the African guerrilla leader of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), an organization that was supported by the public until it turned on its supporters to “purify” the Acholi people and transform Uganda into a theocracy. Kony was indicted for war crimes by the International Criminal Court, but has been on the loose and unseen since 2006.

Human Rights Watch attempted to jump on the Kony bandwagon and re-released an old video entitled Joseph Kony — LRA in an attempt to maintain the attention of the American people that was initially stimulated by the Invisible Children documentary.

Likewise, Human Rights Watch reposted an old video to its website entitled Dear Obama, hoping to capitalize on the newfound attention on Joseph Kony. In the video, a number of Ugandans are addressing President Obama in their native language, stating the following:

We want to tell President Obama that this situation is difficult for us. Our problem is that the LRA troubles us. I wish you could put an end to this war, because we are living in fear. I want President Obama to end this war because we are really tired of these wars. We do not know why we are being killed without any cause.

The video continues with heartbreaking stories of children being forced into the military by the LRA, and others of death and devastation, and ultimately leads to its primary purpose: to convince the Obama administration to permit AFRICOM to carry out its mission in Uganda.
In fact, the video seems to be reiterating the very mission of US AFRICOM, which states on its website:

1. A safe, secure, and stable Africa is in our national interest.
2. Over the long run, it will be Africans who will best be able to address African security challenges and that AFRICOM most effectively advances U.S. security interests through focused security engagement with our African partners.

The Kony campaign ultimately advocates U.S. military intervention in the region under the guise of a humanitarian agenda.

And despite the effectiveness of the video’s ability to evoke an emotional reaction from its viewers, the underlying issue with the entire KONY campaign is that the war in Uganda against the LRA ended years ago, and Joseph Kony himself has not been seen for 6 years. Some critics even believe him to be dead. So why the sudden interest in Joseph Kony?

Americans of Ugandan origin have taken to YouTube to express their suspicions about the Invisible Children’s interest in Uganda and support of US military forces to hunt down a man that has not been seen in six years.

Likewise, the Kony campaign seems to be inciting support for the Ugandan president, but the sponsors of the Kony campaign seemed to have overlooked one detail: Ugandan president Yoweri Museveni has been guilty of committing heinous atrocities against the people of Uganda.

“If Invisible Children was in fact a serious organization that has not been co-opted by the Museveni regime and the U.S. foreign policy agenda, the organization would inform the world that General Museveni, who has now stolen three elections in a row in Uganda is the first person who deserves to be arrested,” writes Black Star News.

Visible Children, an organization created to counter Invisible Children, has harshly criticized the Kony campaign and Invisible Children.

“The group is in favour of direct military intervention, and their money supports the Ugandan government’s army and various other military forces,” writes the Visible Children website, which has documented the hoax behind Kony 2012. “Here’s a photo of the founders of Invisible Children posing with weapons and personnel of the Sudan People’s Liberation Army.

Both the Ugandan army and Sudan People’s Liberation Army are riddled with accusations of rape and looting, but Invisible Children defends them, arguing that the Ugandan army is ‘better equipped than that of any of the other affected countries,’ although Kony is no longer active in Uganda and hasn’t been since 2006 by their own admission. These books [Abducted and Abused: Renewed Conflict in Northern Uganda and The Resolution of African Conflicts] each refer to the rape and sexual assault that are perennial issues with the UPDF, the military group Invisible Children is defending.”

Some critics contend that the entire Kony campaign was part of a larger effort to perpetuate the “scramble for Africa.”

In 2008, AFRICOM Vice Admiral Robert Moeller declared that one of AFRICOM’s guiding principles was to “protect the free flow of natural resources from Africa to the global market.” He went on to cite China’s increasing presence in the region as a growing threat to American interests.

It is for that reason that the Land Destroyer Report comes to this conclusion:

Therefore, Joseph Kony, Al Qaeda, Qaddafi, starving children, pirates, and every other geopolitical ploy and contrivance imaginable, and some left yet unimagined have been used to justify AFRICOM’s expanding presence on a continent they have no business setting foot on.

Rosebell Kagumire, a Ugandan journalist who worked with victims of the civil war in Uganda, has raised suspicions about the motives behind the Kony campaign and asserts that Uganda is now a stable country and would not benefit from Western interference.

Perhaps cause for further suspicion is that both Human Rights Watch and Invisible Children are funded by billionaire globalist George Soros through the Open Society Institute.

World Net Daily’s Aaron Klein contends that Soros’ interest in the region is oil-related:

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 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.

In other words, its possible that the American military and American tax dollars are being used to advance the interests of elite globalists.

Still, despite the controversy surrounding the campaign, and the various questions regarding its true agenda, the Kony video has effectively piqued the interest of some of America’s lawmakers, it seems.

CBS News reports that two House lawmakers introduced a resolution to increase U.S. military involvement in Africa.

“The resolution, introduced by Reps. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.) and Ed Royce (R-Calif.) calls for, among other things, expanding the number of regional forces in Africa to protect civilians and placing restrictions on individuals or governments found to be supporting Kony,” reports CBS News.

Kony 2012 Campaign Sinks Under Scrutiny

UGANDA OIL: US Africa Command, a tool to Recolonize the African Continent

Dr. Motsoko Pheko
InformAfrica.com
March 31, 2012

The USA Africa Command, which America calls ‘Africom’, is a military structure of the Defence Department of America. Africom was formed in 2007 during President George W Bush’s second term of office. That was two months after America had bombed a small African country, Somalia, destabilising it to the ashes it is today and to the danger it now poses to Africa and international trade. The coast of Somalia is infested with sea piracy and kidnappings. This is as a result of the earlier American invasion of Somalia, in pursuit of its illegitimate economic interests in Africa. The political instability of Somalia has now caused the problem of ‘terrorism’ for East African countries such as Kenya.

In October 2011, the Institute of Security Studies held a seminar in Pretoria, South Africa, on United States’ security policy in Africa and the role of the US Africa Command. The main speaker was the American Ambassador to South Africa. He presented what was a ‘non-military insider’s perspective on the United States’ Africa Command.’ This way he was supposedly to ‘separate facts from fiction and rumours and deal directly with misconceptions and misapprehensions about Africom.’

The American apologists of Africom suggested that the creation of this American military structure under the American Defence Department ‘has turned out to be different from what the USA government had originally envisioned and what the United States of America had originally perceived, having quickly foresworn locating its headquarters in Africa.’

It seems that even in this 21st century the United States of America government does not respect the sovereignty of African states and the territorial integrity of the continent. If it did, it would know that Africans have national and continental interests and the right to protect them. Assistance should be solicited. Those who need assistance know what kind of assistance they want. The United States of America has no right to prescribe Africom on Africa even at the expense of dividing Africa and weakening the African Union. America wants its own interests to prevail over those of Africa.

Africans have a painful history of the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade, racism and colonialism by nations that claim to be ‘civilised’ but have behaviour that is contrary to civilisation. They dehumanised Africa’s people and saw nothing wrong with that. They have never shown any remorse for their inhuman deeds to Africans or offered any reparations for the colossal damage they inflicted on Africans. America’s persistence to impose Africom on Africa proves this beyond reasonable doubt.

UGANDAN OIL AND AMERICAN TROOPS TO ‘HELP’
Uganda suffered unspeakable atrocities under Idi Amin’s government that was installed by Britain under Prime Minister Edward Heath. The British government did not like the socialist policies of President Milton Obote. Idi Amin killed many Ugandans. They included the Anglican Archbishop Janani Luwum.

After the overthrow of Idi Amin, there emerged Joseph Kony, leader of what he calls the Lord’s Resistance Army. Kony has murdered thousands of Ugandans. This included kidnapping hundreds of Ugandan children who he forced to join his army to fight the Ugandan government. Many of those children were killed in the senseless war. This has gone on for over 20 years.

The US government never approached Uganda or the African Union or its predecessor, the Organisation of African Unity, to ask how the United States could help. Now there is discovery of oil in Uganda. Almost immediately, there are reports that US government has sent an army to Uganda to find Joseph Kony and rescue Uganda’s children. Why did America not make this offer long before Uganda discovered this oil wealth? Acquisition of Africa’s resources is the chief purpose of Africom, not the development of Africa.

WILL US ALLOW RUSSIAN OR CHINESE ARMY INSIDE AMERICA?
Some African countries have been threatened with sanctions and ‘regime change.’ One of them is Libya, where Colonel Maummar Gaddafi was killed under the dark cloud of NATO and United States of America. When Africans raise concerns about ‘Africom’ they are said to suffer ‘misconceptions, misapprehensions, rumours, and fiction.’ Now, is the United States of America government prepared to allow Russia or China to establish their own ‘American Command’ and call it ‘Americom’ in pursuit of their national interests in America? How would Americans react to this? Would they go to the streets and say, ‘Welcome messiah!’
Anyway, the architect of ‘Africom’ President George W Bush has said that the United States’ Africa Command ‘will co-ordinate all United States security interests throughout Africa.’ If this is not imperialist arrogance and contempt for the sovereignties of African States, then the proponents of ‘Africom’ must be sent to a mental hospital for treatment.
VICE ADMIRAL MOELLER HAS SPILLED BEANS ABOUT AFRICOM
Vice Admiral Moeller was the man President George W Bush entrusted with the mission of Africom. Moeller knew that mission in and out. At the United States’ Africa Command Conference held at Fort McNair on 18 February 2008, this American head of ‘Africom’ declared that, ‘Protecting the free flow of natural resources from Africa to the global market is one of Africom’s guiding principles.’
Admiral Moeller specifically cited ‘oil disruption’, ‘terrorism’ and the growing influence of China as a major challenge to United States’ interests in Africa. Africom is organised by the office of the Under-Secretary of Defence for Forces Transformation Resources and National Security Policy at the National Defence University Fort McNair, Washington D.C.

Kony 2012 Part 2: License for Imperial Conquest

Tony Cartalucci
Infowars.com
April 6, 201
The sequel to the mega-viral disaster that was Kony 2012 may only be 20 minutes long, but financier-turned-humanitarian Ben Keesey still manages to gravely insult the intelligence of an audience clearly more awake and aware than he and the corporate-financiers behind Invisible Children would like to admit. Surely though, they are more than aware of the real revolution they’ve scratched the surface of – a population no longer swayed by slick marketing campaigns and who are more than ready to confront such deception. That is why Invisible Children has not only disabled comments on their latest piece of propaganda, but have also disabled the rating system for their video.



Image: Kony 2012: Part II (video can be found here). Ratings and comments have been disabled exposing “activism 2.0″ as the one-way predetermined, monolithic, corporate-funded agenda it was all along. (click image to enlarge)
….
Just like traditional corporate propaganda, Invisible Children has become a one-way marketing operation – while posing as an “activism 2.0″ exercise, it denies activists any opportunity to express their views, influence the debate, or sway the agenda in any shape form or way – much like Soros-funded infiltrators did to the Occupy Wall Street movement right before it petered out. You are given the illusion of being a part of something bigger than yourself when in reality you are simply being used by a monolithic unilateral predetermined agenda.
Bigger than Kony: Selling the R2P Pretext
Keesey, in his pro-imperial infomercial, begins by citing a 2005 UN World Summit “outcome” titled “the responsibility to protect” which is drafted verbatim from a 2001 report titled, “The Responsibility to Protect,”- published by the ad hoc “International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty (ICISS). The commission consisted of members drawn from the Fortune 500-Soros funded International Crisis Group (Fidel Ramos, Cyril Ramaphosa), theLowy Institute, the Council on Foreign Relations, and members of both Western governments and their armed forces. It is a doctrine created exclusively for the benefit of justifying wars of opportunity, profit, and conquest by former colonial rulers to recommence the golden age of global subjugation and plundering.
Already R2P has been horribly abused in Libya, where violence was purposefully triggered by the very nations behind the R2P doctrine, then insidiously used as a pretext to militarily intervene. Their intervention saw weapons, money, air support, and diplomatic legitimacy granted to vicious, racist, genocidal terrorists, notorious for decades of violence not only in Libya, but in Afghanistan and Iraq. NATO’s assistance to these terrorists, falling under the banner of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG), has not only plunged Libya into perpetual chaos, but has seen these rearmed, reinvigorate terrorists carry their campaign as far east as Syria and as far west as Mali.
Ironically, Keesey in his “Kony 2012 Part II” video implicates Syria as another prime candidate for R2P intervention. It is ironic because Syria is another nation ravaged by violence openly fueled by the UN, NATO, and their junior Arab League partners, with the “Free Syrian Army” itself armed, funded, and directed by NATO-backed Libyan LIFG commander Abdul Hakim Belhaj all under the pretext of the R2P agenda.
Luis Moreno-Ocampo of the illegitimate “International Criminal Court” (ICC) once again lends his questionable stamp of approval to Invisible Children’s crusade to “catch Joseph Kony.” Ocampo states that it is a “dream” that we are a “global community protecting each other.” Ocampo is famous not only for his role in lying to the world to justify the Libyan War in the first place, but for his overt deceit during the height of NATO’s Libyan campaign when he claimed Saif al-Islam Qaddafi’s capture in Tripoli was not only “confirmed,” but that his transfer to the Hague was underway. The next day, Saif al-Islam appeared in Tripoli still leading efforts to liberate his besieged nation. It would be months before he was actually captured.

Photo: Saif al-Islam in Tripoli leading the defense of his nation the day after ICC’s Luis Moreno-Ocampo “confirmed” he was captured - an overt lie. Ocampo would compound this lie by later denying he made any such confirmation.

….
Keesey then claims that the world is still standing behind the goals of Invisible Children, but what his video shows instead is the same steady stream of deceitful politicians who have held the will of their constituents in contempt for decades, green-lighting a massive military build-up in Central Africa for an admittedly meager, “alleged” force of 250 men. Keesey produces a smattering of Congolese witnesses that are supposed to sway us – after their previous film falsely depicted the conflict taking place in Uganda with a similar smattering of Ugandan witnesses.






Images: Screen grabs from the Soros-funded Human Rights Watch “Joseph Kony – LRA” video uploaded in 2010 and the USAID-backed, US State Department AYM 2010 summit-attending, Soros, JP Morgan, Chase-funded (.pdf page 22) Invisible Children’s Kony 2012: Part II. Another bizarre happenstance, as an identical man, wearing an identical shirt appears in both videos – as if the editing for both organizations took place in the same office using the same footage.
….
The punchline of the sequel comes 13 minutes in, where it is stated that the ICC has indicted Kony, but lacks an “army” to bring him to justice. The “solution” of course, requires a joint military force. John Prendergast of the Soros-funded “Enough Project” chimes in claiming that Kony’s alleged 250 men represent a threat to “international peace and security” and requires “collective responsibility.” The “Enough Project” comes to us from the Center for American Progress run by notorious corporate lobbyist John Podesta, funded by George Soros, tied directly to the US State Department, and yet another special-interest think-tank (covered in more detail in, “JP Morgan, Exxon, Boeing, Among State Department’s New Advisers“).
Kony 2012 – R2P’s Public Roll-Out
Keesey saves the best for last, claiming, “we will not dismiss the problems of our friends simply because they are not our own – we don’t live like that anymore. And this is only the beginning because stopping injustice around the world is far bigger than stopping the LRA . We are a new generation of justice made for such a time as this. Because our liberty is bound together across the world and across the street.”
And indeed it is bigger than stopping the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) – Kony 2012 and the mission of Invisible Children is the public roll-out of a geopolitical mechanism long festering amongst the pages of Fortune 500 think-tanks and being rubber-stamped at the UN for now over a decade. It is the public roll-out of R2P – the “responsibility to protect.” It is the institutionalization of wars of conquest – a systematic methodology of sowing chaos within any given nation refusing to pay into the globalist collective and using the resulting violence, real or imagined, as an excuse to eviscerate their government, bury their institutions, and build upon the rubble homogeneous networks that will interlock with globalist “international institutions.”
Kony 2012 from A-Z has been revealed as an absolute fraud – a fabrication as dishonest about the current problems in East and Central Africa as it is about the alleged solutions.
In reality, the greatest danger to the people of Africa are men like Ugandan “president-for-life” Yoweri Museveni who is in reality still carrying out the very atrocities Kony is accused of. And while the UN, ICC, and a menagerie of other “international institutions” pose as an army of “white knights,” they have been instrumental in legitimizing, covering up, facilitating, and clearly benefiting from the atrocities of men like Museveni. Just last year, it was reported that Museveni and a British corporation called “New Forests Company” forcibly evicted 20,000 Ugandans, incinerating their homes, burning alive and gunning down all who refused to leave. The evictions were part of a UN “clean air” program and involves investors including the World Bank and HSBC.


Image: Taken from New Forests’ website, they proudly display the swath of destruction their company is responsible for, of course, instead of depicting the displacements, murders, and thuggery they are committing against the people of Africa, they place images of thriving trees. In just this manner R2P is being declared as a revolutionary humanitarian achievement where tales of “democracy” and “freedom” cover up the trail of atrocities truly being blazed.
….
If what is essentially criminal land grabbing in Africa can be institutionalized and dressed up as “protecting the environment,” then dressing up imperial military conquest as “protecting civilians” under the R2P doctrine is an obvious logical progression. The R2P doctrine is as big a fraud as the continuous lies being told to justify it and endear it to the public – Kony 2012 being perhaps the most obvious embodiment of these lies.

WikiLeaks: Kony 2012 Creators ‘Invisible Children’ Spied for Uganda
Editor’s Note: Is anyone surprised? More importantly, will parents and teachers in the US still go along with Invisible Children’s sick charade?

RT
April 10, 2012

A memo written by a public affairs officer at the US embassy in Uganda documents Invisible Children’s collaboration with Ugandan intelligence services. It notes that the US-based NGO tipped the Ugandan government on the whereabouts of Patrick Komakech, a former child soldier for the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA), who was wanted by security officials for extorting money from the government officials, NGO’s and local tribal leaders. Ugandan security organizations jumped the tip and immediately arrested Komakech.

As a result of the tip, the Ugandan military claimed it obtained the names of other suspects from Komakech. The military then conducted a sweep and arrested a number of people, many of whom declared their innocence, the Ugandan media reported. Human rights groups say torture of arrested suspects by Ugandan security forces is routine.

Invisible Children also actively supported Operation Lightning Thunder (OLT), a joint attack by Uganda, the Democratic Republic of Congo and the then-autonomous South Sudan against the LRA. The operation, which was also received US intelligence and logistical backing, killed more civilians than LRA militants.

In a confidential memo dating back to 2009, US ambassador to Uganda Steven Browning noted that the US-based NGO planned pro-OLT events under the theme “Kony Must Be Stopped. Rescue Our Children”.

Browning says local Invisible Children activists led the events. These events included visiting Washington to meet with lawmakers and conducting awareness campaigns in the US, the UK, Australia, Canada and Mexico.

But Norbert Mao, a Ugandan opposition politician who, Browning claimed, “honchoed” the 2009 events, disputes the veracity of the ambassador’s assessment.

“I did not support OLT,” Mao told The Black Star News “It was an operation to rain bombs in the areas where Kony was believed to be participating and would lead to indiscriminate killing of those the operation was intended to rescue. But even so, I believe there is no purely military solution to the LRA issue. Even after the release of Kony 2012 I stated clearly that the doors to peaceful solutions must never be closed”.

Kony 2012 has been viewed over 100 million times and Invisible Children is now planning to release a sequel to the video. It has been criticized for oversimplified the issue, in which religious fundamentalism and century-long intertribal conflicts intertwine. It has also been accused of providing financial aid for the Ugandan government and Sudan People’s Liberation Army, both of which have regularly been charged with human rights violations. Invisible Children denied this claim, however. It has also been blamed for being heavy on advocacy and weak on aid, with most of the money spent for staff salaries, travel and transport and film production.

The release of the video followed a decision by US President Barack Obama to deploy 100 US soldiers to the region to help “remove” Joseph Kony from the picture.

The conflict between the Ugandan government, led by Yoweri Musevini, and the Lord Resistance Army, led by Joseph Kony, has lasted for over two decades.

Phony KONY 2012: Security Crisis in the Sahel Region of Africa and the Destabilization of the Congo Basin

The Intel Hub News Brief
April 11, 2012
You can download the mp3 here.

Madison Ruppert of End the Lie guest hosts The Intel Hub News Brief with independent writer Nile Bowie to discuss the security crisis in the Sahel region of Africa and the continuing destabilization of the Congo basin under the guise of capturing Joseph Kony and the Lord’s Resistance Army.



This broadcast also discusses the Boko Haram separatist movement of northern Nigeria and the role of the International Monetary Fund in the Rwandan Genocide.

Nile Bowie is an independent writer and photojournalist based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. He has published various articles on the implications of U.S. Foreign Policy in North & Central Africa, South-East Asia and the Korean Peninsula.
He regularly contributes to Tony Cartalucci’s Land Destroyer Report and Professor Michel Chossudovsky’s Centre for Research on Globalization

Editor’s Note: Since this interview was recorded on April 1^st, several new developments have unfolded in Mali.

Following the power vacuum created by the coup in Bamako, Tuareg rebels suspected to be part of AQIM-affiliated Islamist group Ancar Dine have declared the founding of an independent state (roughly the size of France) called Azawad in northern Mali.

As UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon urges the quick transfer of power back to the constitutional authorities, the two-week-old military junta has announced it will transfer power to civilian rule in return for the removal of trade and diplomatic sanctions imposed by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) bloc.

ECOWAS has proposed dialogues and a ceasefire with Ancar Dine and the rival National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad (MNLA), should the respective parties fail to come to an agreement, ECOWAS forces and the Malian military have proposed a joint military deployment strategy to reclaim the territory now referred to as Azawad.

Politicians in Bamako have unanimously condemned the Tuareg separatist declaration of an independent state, along with France. Algeria’s Prime Minister Ahmed Ouyahia has released a statement saying his country would “never accept a challenge to Mali’s territorial integrity”.

The Pentagon’s Africa Command (AFRICOM) has reported a shift in logistics focus away from Iraq and Afghanistan, to the “ungoverned spaces” of the Sahel.

As mainstream media outlets begin to insinuate that the increased presence of AQIM in North Africa “exposes Europe’s soft underbelly to terrorist attacks, facilitated by illegal migration,” the recent instability has prompted British security officials to warn about the rising threat posed by western-armed AQIM, and its capacity to undermine the security of Londoners and foreign tourists taking the tube to the 2012 London Olympics.

While the situation in Mali continues to deteriorate, the potential for an R2P-mandated form of intervention remains ever present.

Phony KONY 2012: Security Crisis in the Sahel Region of Africa and the Destabilization of the Congo Basin :

Exposing KONY 2012 and Invisible Children’s Evangelical Christian and CIA Relationship

The first part in a three part series that chronicles the opaque US advocacy group known as “Invisible Children” and their latest money-raising campaign KONY 2012.

Patrick Henningsen
Infowars.com
April 17, 2012

Time is running out. Not for Joseph Kony, but for Invisible Children.

Tales of the LRA and Kony have again been reignited, as the KONY 2012 campaign’s urgent April 20th deadline approaches. The attempt by evangelical-based business Invisible Children Inc to craft the mythology around Joseph Kony as public enemy number one as a ’Bin Laden Lite’, demonstrates more than anything the emotive power of film, and film as propaganda.

Quite simply, Invisible Children are meant to serve as the new cultural influencers, or “culture makers” who will do the community public relations work that softens the ground for the globalist establishment agenda embodied in organizations like the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and the United Nations.

Although quiet about its religious affiliation, Invisible Children’s organization is staffed almost exclusively with young, ‘Christian activists’ and could very well have support links to other Christian evangelist organizations, some of whom have historical links to the CIA, and round table groups like the CFR, Trilateral Commission and the Bilderberg Group. Many of these also share links with the powerful clandestine US religious-based political fraternity known as “The Family“.

Invisible Children’s link to The Family explains how KONY 2012 was fast-tracked on to the desks of politicans in Washington DC.

If open to public scrutiny, seed funding and foundation grants records could show if indeed, Invisible Children and their KONY 2012 PR campaign are financial and political beneficiaries of this powerful neoconservative, evangelical faith-based confederacy in the United States, a web of power with international outposts all over the world – hidden behind the curtain of evangelical Christian missions and aid NGOs.

One of Invisible Children Inc’s corporate business partners is Better World Books, who promote the idea of Carbon trading and off-sets to children in the US, as well as promote new distopic books aimed at children like popular new tilte, The Hunger Games.

For the past two days, a number of mainstream media outlets including CNN and the Post, have run what look and feel like paid-for ’advertorial’ placements masquerading as news segments The Post’s deceptive headline today read, “In Africa, U.S. troops moving slowly against Joseph Kony and his militia.” In addition, the article is littered with past photos of Kony and LRA victims dated 2004 and older.

There’s only one problem – there have been no verifiable reports, nor actual sightings of Joseph Kony in Uganda for approximately 6 years, a reality which has been replaced by a new media-driven mythology surrounding the former (and possibly deceased) LRA paramilitary commander, who is said be on the run from a crack team of US commandos in the jungles of Uganda.

Sound like a Hollywood script? Well, that’s because it is.

The former villain Joseph Kony was made into a pop icon, a myth propagated by the dubious organization based in San Diego, Invisible Children Inc, who portray their cause to look like a ‘charity’, even though many schools and children are still under the impression that they are an international aid organization.

Invisible Children’s chief product is not aid to poor people in Africa, as many US school children and teachers are led to believe. Rather, their main out-put seems to be film production, merchandise, advocacy, and lobbying Washington’s US State Department for an increased US military precence in oil and mineral-rich East Africa – a lobbying effort which interestingly dove tails perfectly with the Pentagon’s new AFRICOM military initiative signed into action by President Bush in 2007. According to its own documents, AFRICOM’s chief objective is reduce the influence of China on the continent and to secure America’s own natural resource interests in Africa.

The Post article by Sudarsan Raghavan, does go on to raise some criticism of US Uganda and its brutal dictator, Yoweri Museveni - who allows Invisible Children to operate inside Uganda:
According to Human Rights Watch, Uganda’s military has committed numerous abuses in its quest for Kony in the north of the country, including killings, routine beatings, rapes, and prolonged and arbitrary detention of civilians. Olara Otunnu, a former U.N. undersecretary general, has publicly described the Ugandan army’s role as tantamount to genocide.

“Nobody here trusts the Ugandans,” said Clement Rutebol, the head of Jupedec, a local aid agency assisting LRA victims. “I don’t understand why the Americans are partners with them.”

By focusing on the non-factor of the long since disappeared Kony and the LRA, Uganda’s President-for-life Museveni deflects the public spotlight which should be focused on him – a war criminal who used child soldiers, and is also accused of ethinc cleaning his political enemies in Uganda.

It should come as no surprise that Invisible Children founder Jason Russell and his team have links to numerous of dubious international Christian Evangelical organizations – some of which have long-standing, traditional ties to the CIA , and documenting these links should expose the true purpose behind their “charity” drive to get US troops on the ground in Africa.

Invisible Children’s multimillion dollar film production, KONY 2012, and subsequent US schools campaign relies on a series of 4 year old interviews with Ugandan villagers who recount past encounters with the former LRA paramilitary army, and give a plea for help from Obama to send in troops to the country in order to “hunt down and capture, and bring Joseph Kony for trial in the International Criminal Court (ICC) in the Hague.

Invisible Children’s film production uses the best in Hollywood and Madison Avenue careful editing and emotive techniques, in order to appear like it is a actual documentary film – the essence of public relations. The public fall-out from their first film was so harsh that their ‘visionary’ spokesman and head filmmaker, Jason Russell suffered a very public nervous breakdown this past March, where he was found by police shouting to himself and running naked through the streets of San Diego, ending in him being committed to mental care.

Following this embarrassing incident, the company was forced to disassociate itself with their eccentric, evangelical radical leader Russell and replace him with a new PR frontman, CFO Ben Keesey. They were also forced to re-cut and re-release a viral sequel to KONY 2012, entitled, ”Beyond Famous“, and closed the comment section on the YouTube campaign in order to avoid any further criticisms from the wider public.

Evangelist student Jason Russell was one of many protégées of none other than controversial multi-millionaire TELevangelist Jerry Falwell. Russell studied as an undergraduate at Falwell’s own Liberty University located in Lynchburg, Virginia. During a financial fall-out which began in 1994, Falwell received bail-out funds for the failing university from none other than the Reverend Moon.

Reverend Sun Myung Moon was founder of the Unification Church and owner of the Washington Times, and stabilized the failing university through two of his organizations – a forced business marriage with Falwell and Moon. At the time, an alleged $2.5 million was funneled through a Moon organization known as the ‘Womens Federation for World Peace’ which has been chaired by Beverly LaHaye, wife of Timothy LaHaye. The Womens Federation for World Peace paid $3.5 million to the Christian Heritage Foundation, which in turn bought Falwell’s $73 million debt.

Evangelism and Christian aid is well-known to be a back-door into Africa for western intelligence agenies. Both Jerry Falwell and Korean Reverend Moon’s CIA links are well-known and documented.

Among them are Moon’s past sponsorship of the organization like the Council of National Policy founded in 1981 by Tim LaHaye, co-author of the ‘end-of-times’ themed “Left Behind” cult book series. It is reported that he received $500,000 from former Korean CIA officer, Mr. Bo Hi Pak, who was Moon’s righthand man, and a former Korean CIA officer. Another Moon-associated group is the ‘Council of 56 of the Religious Roundtable’, made up of many of the same members from Rev. Moons’ CNP and CRF organizations. It marries leading Moon associated evangelicals to the CIA, the Council for Foreign relations, the Trilateral Commission – all of which are closely tied to the Bilderberg Group.

In addition, a number of Invisible Children’s Ugandan staff have ties to other controversial ‘Christian aid’ organizations including, the NGO microfinance institution known as the Ecumenical Church Loan Fund operating all over Africa.

It is not clear yet, how much funding Invisible Children has received from CIA front organizations, or Reverend Moon-related organizations. What Invisible Children Inc does extremely well is to pretend it is a charity-like organization, as it uses a false international crisis like Kony and the LRA in order to raise money around the US, by duping its army of well-intentioned, but incredibly naive teachers and students in US schools.

Because Invisible Children is not a registered charity in the US, all of its investment funding can not easily be accessed but watchdogs have been able to unearth some serious problems related to the company’s finances:

Invisible Children has been condemned time and time again. As a registered not-for-profit, its finances are public. Last year, the organization spent $8,676,614. Only 32% went to direct services (page 6), with much of the rest going to staff salaries, travel and transport, and film production. This is far from ideal for an issue which arguably needs action and aid, not awareness, and Charity Navigator rates their accountability 2/4 stars because they lack an external audit committee. But it goes way deeper than that.

Nor can the company rightly justify its large salaries awarded annually to some of its top officers and its 43 full-time permanent staff – a global payroll easily exceeding millions of dollars annually wordwide.

Put simply, Invisible Children is the latest, hi-tech vehicle to recruit innocent young children and school faculty, with a Twitter and Facebook-fueled utopian vision of the future – a virtual world where everybody can click a Paypal button and go to bed with a smile on their face.

Parents and teachers in the US should really be aware that when they hit that PayPal button, it encourages President Obama to hit his own button – sending thousands of US troops into Africa, on a wild goose-chase to hunt for the new Osama bin Laden.

Exposing KONY 2012 and Invisible Children’s Evangelical Christian and CIA Relationship

The first part in a three part series that chronicles the opaque US advocacy group known as “Invisible Children” and their latest money-raising campaign KONY 2012.

Time is running out. Not for Joseph Kony, but for Invisible Children.

Tales of the LRA and Kony have again been reignited, as the KONY 2012 campaign’s urgent April 20th deadline approaches. The attempt by evangelical-based business Invisible Children Inc to craft the mythology around Joseph Kony as public enemy number one as a ’Bin Laden Lite’, demonstrates more than anything the emotive power of film, and film as propaganda.

Quite simply, Invisible Children are meant to serve as the new cultural influencers, or “culture makers” who will do the community public relations work that softens the ground for the globalist establishment agenda embodied in organizations like the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and the United Nations.

Although quiet about its religious affiliation, Invisible Children’s organization is staffed almost exclusively with young, ‘Christian activists’ and could very well have support links to other Christian evangelist organizations, some of whom have historical links to the CIA, and round table groups like the CFR, Trilateral Commission and the Bilderberg Group. Many of these also share links with the powerful clandestine US religious-based political fraternity known as “The Family“.

Invisible Children’s link to The Family explains how KONY 2012 was fast-tracked on to the desks of politicans in Washington DC.

If open to public scrutiny, seed funding and foundation grants records could show if indeed, Invisible Children and their KONY 2012 PR campaign are financial and political beneficiaries of this powerful neoconservative, evangelical faith-based confederacy in the United States, a web of power with international outposts all over the world – hidden behind the curtain of evangelical Christian missions and aid NGOs.

One of Invisible Children Inc’s corporate business partners is Better World Books, who promote the idea of Carbon trading and off-sets to children in the US, as well as promote new distopic books aimed at children like popular new tilte, The Hunger Games.

For the past two days, a number of mainstream media outlets including CNN and the Post, have run what look and feel like paid-for ’advertorial’ placements masquerading as news segments The Post’s deceptive headline today read, “In Africa, U.S. troops moving slowly against Joseph Kony and his militia.” In addition, the article is littered with past photos of Kony and LRA victims dated 2004 and older.
