latest PsyOp? Kony 2012

[Unified Serenity]

This is a great piece with Alex Jones sharing a whole other side to the story. Anytime I see a big push via media, congress, news, and massive tweets, it's time to dig a little deeper. Here's just some more info to consider:

Yes, let's shed more American blood pushing for justice and I just wonder how many million African's will die because we go there to help get rid of the latest boogy man just like in Iraq and other similar countries. Yes, let's suddenly care about this issue and remember "trust us were here to help you" line from the ever helpful government. THINK before we get caught up on the images and propaganda.

I think anyone that supports this African Invasion has forgotten "Black Hawk Down.".

Chiquetet, posted this earlier with similar concerns.

38 + million have viewed the Kony 2012 video so this will be a very HOT topic issue.

Most so far are going with the "children" but this story will get ugly.....

One thing that caught my attention was the black triangle in the middle of the sign.... We all know thats a illuminatti symbol and the black white and red color scheme, also illuminatti symbolism.

Get who? Where? And what’s a Kony anyway?

Let’s get Kony, millions cried, relying on a viral film clip about a man they’d never heard of before:


A particularly savvy media campaign by a nonprofit group called Invisible Children has pushed a debate about Uganda and rebel leader Joseph Kony into a very bright spotlight…

To get the campaign off the ground quickly, the group had users send messages to 20 “culturemakers” and 12 “policymakers” with influential Twitter accounts urging them to support the effort. The list included names such as U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and former President George W. Bush, as well as celebrities such as Angelina Jolie, George Clooney, Mark Zuckerberg and Lady Gaga.

The message that users could send to those people included a hashtag, #Kony2012, that gave the Twitter community something to galvanize around. It read: “Help us end #LRA violence. Visit kony2012.com to find out why and how. @rickwarren Join us for #KONY2012”

The group also made a well-produced short film that encouraged people to use social media to raise awareness about the movement, which spread quickly over Vimeo and YouTube, where it has garnered more than 57 million views (http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/technology/kony-2012-the-anatomy-of-a-viral-campaign/2012/03/09/gIQALjbs1R_story.html).

Trouble is, Kony is not where these millions imagine and his Lord’s Resistance Army not as strong as they imagine:


Critics argue Kony and his diminishing troops, many of them kidnapped child soldiers, fled northern Uganda six years ago (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/africaandindianocean/uganda/9132991/Joseph-Kony-2012-Obama-administration-congratulates-success-of-campaign.html) and are now spread across the jungles of neighbouring countries.

“What that video says is totally wrong, and it can cause us more problems than help us,” said Dr Beatrice Mpora, director of Kairos, a community health organisation in Gulu, a town that was once the centre of the rebels’ activities.

“There has not been a single soul from the LRA here since 2006. Now we have peace, people are back in their homes, they are planting their fields, they are starting their businesses. That is what people should help us with.”..

Rosebell Kagumire, a Ugandan journalist specialising in peace and conflict reporting, said: “This paints a picture of Uganda six or seven years ago, that is totally not how it is today. It’s highly irresponsible”.

More:


...the LRA now numbers at most in the hundreds (http://blog.foreignpolicy.com/posts/2012/03/07/guest_post_joseph_kony_is_not_in_uganda_and_other_complicated_things), and while it is still causing immense suffering, it is unclear how millions of well-meaning but misinformed people are going to help deal with the more complicated reality…

Additionally, the LRA (thankfully!) does not have 30,000 mindless child soldiers. This grim figure, cited by Invisible Children in the film (and by others) refers to the total number of kids abducted by the LRA over nearly 30 years. Eerily, it is also the same number estimated for the total killed in the more than 20 years of conflict in Northern Uganda.

How easily people can be steered to hate and to demand “something be done” about something they don’t even understand. A frightening warning of our future.

The US Administration will take note. If only the Pentagon had put out a viral video called “Get Saddam"…

http://blogs.news.com.au/heraldsun/andrewbolt/index.php/heraldsun/comments/get_who_where_and_whats_a_kony_anyway/

PS - Don't get me wrong the children's well-being above (all else) should be put 1st and Kony should be captured and put on trial for his War Crimes...:yes4:

But is does begger the Question: "How will the MSM & Govts. use this type of E-Marketing to promote their own type of Propaganda under the guise of an independent group..?

It reminds me of 2 seamingly independent Progressive Groups - MoveOn.Org (http://front.moveon.org/) (USA) & their affiliate GetUp.Org (http://www.getup.org.au/) (Australia) and how they have been used (Covertly) to push their hidden Govt. Agenda's..!

"The new man, time-soldier
picked his way narrowly
thru the crowded ruins
of once grave city, gone
comic now w/rats
& the insects of refuge

He lives in cars
goes fruitless thru
the frozen schools
& finds no space
in shades of obedience

the monitors are silenced
the great graveled guard-towers
sicken on the westward beach
so tired of watching

If only one horse were left
to ride thru the waste
a dog at his side
to sniff meat-maids
chained on the public poles

there is no more argument
in beds, at night
blackness is burned
Stare into the parlors of town
where a woman dances
in her European gown
to the great waltzes
this could be fun
to rule a wasteland"

James Douglas Morrison 1968
from "The Lords And The New Creatures"

38 + million have viewed the Kony 2012 video

The YouTube counter is a delicate issue.
On Alex Jones' videos it usually stops at some early point but with the Kony video it easily works into the multimillions within a couple of days, very telling...

Here's an interesting article and it brings up some very vaible points if only in the name of humanity some of these desparate people feel. I refuse to give into suspicion and paranoia about thi,s a more clear and uncluttered vision is needed. K.I.S.S.

Kony 2012 and the politics of sending a brutal villain viral

http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2012/3/8/1331215579716/Joseph-Kony-007.jpg
Even if Joseph Kony is still at large at the end of this year, some of the message will have got through to people.' Photograph: Stuart Price/AP

There are plenty of men in east Africa with guns and armies, plenty of brutal militia and bandits, but only one of them, Joseph Kony, is an internet celebrity, one of the world's most visible villains.

Charities now understand a maxim – the advertisers' maxim – that to be successful, a campaign has to go viral. The Kony 2012 film is undeniably powerful, if faintly kitsch, but it has accrued more than 26m views on YouTube in two days. Yesterday, "Invisible Children", "#StopKony", "Uganda", and "LRA" all made it into the top 10 trending topics worldwide on Twitter.

Make Poverty History campaigners were the original viral grassroots marketers in the charity world and Kony 2012 is very much their spiritual successor; from the slick video to the merchandising and right-on street parties. There are even branded wristbands ("one for you, and one to give to a friend"), and posters are designed by the same artist as the Hope poster for Obama's 2008 election campaign.

But Kony 2012 has also suffered a backlash. People have attacked the charity running the campaign, Invisible Children, on technical issues, including how much it spends on the campaigns and filmmaking, compared with how much it sends to Africa. Many of these complaints are down to misinformation, and the charity answered them here.

But there have been ideological criticisms too. People appear to resent the idea that an NGO should also be an activist group, especially one that appears to be calling for military intervention. How dare they? They should stick to building schools, and leave the politics to the politicians; even, in some cases, Africa to the Africans.

Paradoxically, Invisible Children is also being attacked from the other side entirely, by people saying that the campaign excuses people from engaging with a complex issue in a serious way, calling it "dumbing down" and accusing the makers of being naive.

But it is unfair to expect campaigners to desist simply on the basis that their campaign is idealistic. Few of us have the clout that governments wield. As most of the people pledging their support to the Kony 2012 campaign don't have the military force or political influence to change the world, they are calling on their governments to do something on their behalf. That's how politics works. Additionally, a campaign is not supposed to be nuanced. This is the internet, and if you're going to be successful you have to think in slightly blunt terms. UN briefing documents of 500 pages rarely go viral.

Of course the situation is not as simple as the film implies. The Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) is not the only bandit group in east Africa, though it may have a claim to be the most brutal. They are not operating in a vacuum either, and it has been alleged that the beleaguered north Sudanese government is supplying Kony in order to disrupt newly independent South Sudan. This would hardly be out of character for Khartoum.

And it is hardly Africa's least-covered issue. The LRA has featured as villains in several Hollywood movies, including Casino Royale and the more recent Machine Gun Preacher. The international criminal court already has a warrant out for Kony's arrest – it was the first they ever issued – and the Ugandan and South Sudanese militaries aren't exactly his biggest fans.

Even so, the allies that Invisible Children have made are hardly admirable. The Ugandan army is under investigation by the ICC for alleged atrocities committed during the country's civil war, and the Sudan People's Liberation Army is accused of similar outrages.

But that's for the government to weigh up and decide. In the meantime, any activist group is perfectly free to call for whatever it likes, and appeal for popular support for their campaign. Lobbying is not restricted to lobbyists by law.

Anything that shines a light on the atrocities that are an almost daily occurrence in this region is a good thing – and with millions watching the video and joining the discussion, this aim has been achieved. If this campaign contributes to Kony being brought to justice, that is a real, tangible, important achievement. As well as stopping a brutal and bloodthirsty bandit, it may also send a signal to others that they are unable to operate with impunity any more in east Africa – and, perhaps more importantly, it might send a signal to people there that the world has a stake in their lives.

It could work, actually. The film states that it "expires" on 31 December 2012, and it is good that the campaigners are aware of the temporary nature of an internet campaign, and can use it to their advantage. Even if Kony is still at large at the end of this year, some of the message will have got through to people. In fact, the power of the internet is that, in just two days, much of it already has.

Why would the NWO interfere with someone (Kony) who is helping their cause?

Why are people so blind? Africa is set to become the zoo of the world under NWO so why interfere?

Why has Africa had war for as long as it has, elimination. they dumped weapons, then introduced aids in Africa to help achive their goals.
This man is helping them to achieve their goal.

People should look more into the real goals of NWO and wake up.
to put it simply, what happened in WWII was just the start or testing ground, only the methods have changed.
when you understand this you understand NWO

same people same goal

[Anam Cara]

Here's the video about Kony by people who were there and aren't distracted and diverted with all this political conjecture and correctness and whatever other complication their minds can conjure up . Where is the compassion? You discuss something but don't show what your talking about and instead show what someone else says about it. Or has anyone actually seen the vid? Here it is for those who haven't. See for yourself and let's see how many can decide for themselves without needing someone else to decide for them.

Right now, I am reading the following, which seems germane to the discussion on this thread.



The emphasis is to obtain behavioral change with regard to a few critical decisions that they are making. The subspace beings are injecting thoughts into the wily, crafty and nearly evil minds of these physical humans.

The ideas need only be cemented for a short period of time during this meeting. Selfishness will again triumph for these folks, but at least some helpful and crucial decisions will have been made without these folks knowing why they did it. Courtney Brown, Cosmic Voyage, p.142.

Edit: these people are specifically power brokers funding Star Trek to make a lot of money, while serious ideas are being surreptitiously injected in to the show so as to reach the broadest possible audience

The Kony Scam, the Bigger Picture, It is about AFRICOM and more wars we cannot afford.

This "Stop Kony" campaign is now being rammed down the kid’s throats in the public schools. I have to undue the Kony lie from my children's minds using from my own personal experience. My kids are well meaning and impressionable. They can be naive and gullible because propagandist will exploit children's good intentions to advance an agenda. I just wonder was this campaign thought out in the White House so they can have an excuse to invade Uganda. They are using are kids to influence the parents to think we have to invade a sovereign country?

Many parents did not want the kids to see Obama on the big screen in the Public schools when he was addressing the kids. They see that Obama was trying to use the kids to get to the parents to sell his agenda. Many dictators in the past used the children for their purpose. Since Obama cannot use the school big screen anymore to get kids to sell the President's agenda to mom and dad using the children. Can this be a well-crafted public relations stunt to form a public outcry to invade Uganda to stop Kony? The truth will come out if it was a planned agenda coming out of the White House to justify invading an African country. The agenda to invade Uganda under AFRICOM was already planned way before Kony sob story gone viral all over YouTube.

It sounds very familiar when almost twenty years ago. President H.W. Bush invaded Somalia because the reason the warlords were stealing the relief food. They were using food as a weapon starving the children. When we left the country months later, it was because we messed that up imposing our will on them. It was a quagmire because we invaded a country that was not a national security risk. Seeing George H. W Bush's globalist leanings for his New World Order he always talked about. There was a different reason why we invaded Somalia. I do not trust humanitarian reasons to invade a country anymore. It has not worked in Libya and it is not going to work in Syria. We can see there is always an ulterior motive why we invade sovereign nations.

Where I was really deceived was in my teens watching MTV. In late 1984 and 1985, a campaign was started to stop the hunger in Ethiopia. Bob Geldoff of the Boomtown Rat releasing a song with Britain's famous musicians and celebrities Called Band Aid singing "Do they Know it is Christmas time" and the American version with Producer Quincy Jones and American entertainment celebrities singing "We are the World". Later that year in Philadelphia and London, a big even was planned as a major fundraiser. They had a big concert called "Live Aid". This really tugged at my heartstrings. I purchased both 45-RPM records thinking I was feeding Starving Africans children. When Live Aid came that following summer of 1985 with satellite up-link between the UK and the US broadcasted on MTV. I donated $25 thinking I was helping people.

When the truth came out years later, I was appalled. All that money raised was diverted away from were it was supposed to go. It went to feed the Ethiopian communist rebels instead. The money was not for the starving people. What a waste. I was suckered exploiting my good intentions thinking I was helping people; instead, I was funding the communist. When I was younger in elementary school who did not know any better. I would go out, stand in from of the supermarket, and ask people to donate to UNICEF. It was after the fact I leaned years later, these UNICEF funds were used to fund Communist takeovers in other countries. They use to send these UNICEF boxes home with my kids. I would not allow them to go out and raise money for the UN, if the money is going to be used to enslave people. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

The Kony campaign exploiting the good intentions of the young children could be a White House ploy to get the children to influence the parents and public opinion. Why are they using the public schools to sell this? Why are they not selling this to the adults like us? It is because we would see right through it. Kony is Uganda's problem. It is not an American problem. We have enough trouble here on American soil to be really outraged about. Kony is not the only war Lord to recruit children as soldiers. Africa is full of these War Lords using these children for their armies. They are pickling on Uganda, It is because the White House and the Pentagon already has plans to invade the African nations. They are just selling Kony as an excuse as they used Saddam's weapons of mass destruction that never existed and Iran's nuclear program they cannot prove exist as a reason to start a war.

Beware of the Kony fraud, this man with child soldiers is a Uganda problem and not our problem. We have enough Americans here in distress that needs our attention right here. Besides, we do not need any more enemies. When it seems like we are going to invade because of moral reasons because it pulls at our heartstrings. We only make things worse for them and us. Do you agree? to the young kids, Charity starts at home and in our communities. Beware of the Kony scam, Do not get burned.

I seen this type of scam they use to pull at our hearts before using different people and situations. As Americans we are decent people, we are generous when the world has a need. We always responded in mass We just have to now be aware not to be scammed one more time by a tear jerking story. Kony sounds like a scam from the get go.

[Maia Gabrial]

First off, who in their right mind would listen to a bunch of actors and entertainers? We know how most of them are or have been child slaves themselves because of the Illuminati. I think because the UN/US haven't had much luck getting Iran involved in a war, that they want to attack something, ANYTHING. Guess what? It's Kony! And once the foot is in the doorway, then all of Africa will get the raping that the UN/US want to do to them.

And if it's a matter of child slaves, what about the helpless ones the US govt has? Have we forgotten Cathy O'Brien's story already?

Found an interesting article in AlterNet regarding a talk Jason Russell gave at Liberty University in November.

An excerpt from the article found at http://www.alternet.org/visions/154477/invisible_children_%22kony_2012%22_leader_suggests_it%27s_about_jesus_and_evangelizing__/



Invisible Children "Kony 2012" Leader Suggests It's About Jesus and Evangelizing

Is one of the biggest viral video in history Christian fundamentalist propaganda? Invisible Children's founder lays out his agenda at Liberty University.


March 8, 2012 |

"A lot of people fear Christians, they fear Liberty University, they fear Invisible Children - because they feel like we have an agenda. They see us and they go, "You want me to sign up for something, you want my money. You want, you want me to believe in your God." And it freaks them out." --- Jason Russell, speaking at Liberty University, November 7, 2011

Is Invisible Children a nonprofit devoted to human needs, or is it a ministry devoted to bringing souls to Jesus ? Judging by a talk co-founder Jason Russell gave last November at Liberty University, it would seem to be a bit of both.

Evangelizing christians using 'Invisible Children' to pimp their message...war-mongering Americans using it to justify a war in a country filled with natural resources that the corporations want...everyone using our children to achieve their goals by preying on their emotions.

[Unified Serenity]

Ok, let me put this thought out here for you all to consider. I am only tossing this around and by no means and I saying, "THIS IS A FACT". Movements headed by Hollywood and Washington elites do not happen overnight. They are planned. The war on terror needs fresh meat, fresh bad guys, and a new target and so now, Kony is now the new Bin Laden. If it's not just Kony, it will be some other bad guy from Africa, and most importantly a country with lots of oil. The Eugenics crowd hates black people. Just watch Maafa 21 to get a really clear picture of just how much our black brothers and sisters are hated by the elites and those who serve them. So, a new bad guy emerges, and he's a scary black man. Gee, do you think it's a coincidence that we have a black President going who would possibly be going after him? I know, it's a bit premature, and what has Obama said about Kony really? I have to do some research in that area, but if Obama starts out the dialogue in this issue and say a new President comes in, it won't look so racist because well, "Obama" saw it too and it's about justice and caring for the suffering children.

I may be going way out on a limb here, but could this not be a psy op campaign to show several things that either we need to go to war against Kony and thereby Africa or......

The scam is revealed and it's used to stir up more strife between our black brothers and sisters here in America who will see through this garbage and get ticked off and protest which could turn negative and thereby set off a powderkeg of racial tension which the ptb are only too happy to exploit. Just musing things over here. I invite all views on this. I believe we need to stop the political games, the subterfuge and scams, but we also need to stick together and not get suckered into some other planned "chaos".

[CdnSirian]

Anything to do with Africa is a resource war. If little kids were not kidnapped and sent down the mines - often sold from Uganda to the Congo - we wouldn't have Smart Phones or video games. While Americans start to understand this, a new slave labor pool is up and running in US prisons. Musical chairs.

Purely imagination - what would happen if everyone resolved to shop only from thrift stores - for maybe a week? Social collapse? Sounds melodramatic, but I think you can see it.

I agree with US that we have to be careful about getting "suckered into some other planned "chaos".

[ghostrider]

we aren't respnsible for another countries, mess. the U.S. should take care of the U.S. china take care of china. Africa take care of Africa, Iraq take care of Iraq. funny it's okay when children are slave labor building our shoes, and making hats in sweat shops and factories, for movie promotions ( banners , toys, ) but when its something else ohhh we have to go in there . make war. if we go to war who will make the new buzz lightyear dolls ? they are gonna make me angry and I'm gonna protest ever war, every violent action, every invasion, and I'll start with the mainstream media CNN. they deliver the mind control to the sleeping masses. humanity time to take a stand, NO MORE WARS.....

[Wind]

I should have seen it coming. They are just inventing another "Bin Laden".

[bennycog]

what is twisted about this is that.. the security guards were tearing down the posters.. the police were asking questions.. Is that to try to make the pro kony supporters look like the minority so that they get looked at in the mainstream to gain more support? the mainstream using a story to get supporters gets shot down by the truth,only to have that truth give them steam to use it to their advantage..
my head is spinning right round baby right round..
http://news.ninemsn.com.au/national/8454923/kony-campaign-falls-flat-in-sydney


A campaign to cover Sydney streets in posters calling for the capture of notorious African warlord Joseph Kony has fallen flat, with just a handful of people turning up to the event.

The Kony 2012 movement exploded in March when a video detailing the atrocities of the Ugandan fugitive was viewed by more than 100 million across the globe.

The American group behind the campaign, Invisible Children, had urged its supporters worldwide to hit the streets on April 20 taping posters in public areas to remind people Kony was still at large.

But of the more than 18,700 people who indicated via Facebook they would attend the Cover the Night event in Sydney, only around 25 could be seen in Martin Place on Friday night.

Hayley Hill, 31, turned up with her husband and two young children wearing a red Kony 2012 T-shirt and campaign posters ordered online.

She said the turnout was disappointing considering the hype that was generated around the movement just a month ago.

"It's very sad that there's not many people out here tonight, I'm quite disappointed," Ms Hill, from Wahroonga, told AAP. "I think that just goes to show it's lost momentum very quickly and that's sad."

Some Kony 2012 supporters in Sydney blamed the wave of bad press levelled at the movement for the poor turnout.

Security guards in Martin Place could be seen tearing down the red and black posters, with police on patrol questioning the group's activity as well.

A spokesperson for NSW Police said as long as the group's activities were legal police would not intervene

Even though it's obvious Kony is another Bin Laden,
there is an interesting article about the Kony story:

"AFRICA: The Legacy of Cecil Rhodes' Anglo-American Empire" by Dan Gordon

"Click this Button or African children will die”: How the “Kony 2012” video
drafted a Facebook army to support the militarization of Africa”

In 1877 the British Empire was at the height of its glory, the Spanish Empire
would soon collapse, and a young Oxford student named Cecil Rhodes was
gripped by a sudden religious vision. Rhodes scrawled out a manifesto.
In it, he called for an “Anglo-American Empire” that would begin in the heart
of Africa and spread out to conquer the known world.

“Africa is still lying ready for us,” he wrote. “It is our duty to take it. It is our
duty to seize every opportunity of acquiring more territory and we should keep
this one idea steadily before our eyes-that more territory simply means more
of the Anglo-Saxon race; more of the best, the most human, most honorable
race the world possesses.”

Rhodes went on to found the DeBeers diamond cartel and devote his company’s
vast wealth to the colonial project in Africa. He couldn’t have known that,
just over a century later, a new invention called the Internet would be
tweaking his message, smoothing out his more inflammatory language,
and sending his ideas around the globe through YouTube and Facebook.
Nor would he ever had imagined that the first black president of the
United States would be the one to carry his vision to its ultimate conclusion,
under the guise of “humanitarian intervention.”
