Kony 2012
watch this plz and try and share where you can, gives me shakes when i watch it
also get a kit if you wish!!
Saw this earlier today,it’s pretty interesting.
give this a read
Just grabbed my popcorn…......... Deano, where are you !!!!!!
I just saw this on a mate’s facey status.
Invisible Children is registered as a not-for-profit, therfore its finances are public (http://c2052482.r82.cf0.rackcdn.com/images/737/original/FY11-Audited Financial Statements.pdf?1320205055). Last year, the organization spent $8,676,614. Only 31% went to their charity program ($2,810,681).......
I haven’t watched the vid yet despite a squillion shares on facey. Might wanna check the link before you decide if you want to hand over your hard earned or not. I haven’t examined the audit myself but you might want to!
haha,
im just going to copy and paste from my earlier facebook “debate”
1 - posting a video around facebook isnt going to change one single thing in a country that the government is so damn corrupt that the entire country operates on these warlords armies and slaves to dig up diamondsl etc. to even feed the population. i
Sharing this video is as effective as pissing in the wind…
I’d also like to point out - not sure if I did it clearly enough before, that it was my mate’s status that I copied & that I have neither watched the video or read the audit…that was just what he wrote and I thought someone might be interested enough to want to investigate further & shed some more light. I have no idea if the figures are correct or not.
Most powerful thing i’ve seen.
Not just on the net, not TV, not propaganda. IT IS THE MOST POWERFUL MESSAGE.
I WILL complete step 1. But will not complete step 2 & 3 (due to my personal agenda and beliefs)
It’s also the longest video I’ve watched online and I’ve been online for for 14 years.
I believe this amazing protest will begin to unit the new world community of 750 million people that is growing growing daily (the largest, westernised, educated community that has ever existed).
It is the 3rd largest community after China and India. It is FaceBook. Over 75% of internet users are purely the FaceBook community. But they are educated and connected.
I will study this video many times and hope it will assist me in utilising the FaceBook community and using my abilities to change the atrocities that happen in our own backyard.
Atrocities against children and families. I feel a change in the new world order has begun.

It took a few decades but eventually the USA “found a way” to profit from acting on all the complaints of Iraqis
against Saddam Hussein. No matter how they disguised it.
I have not watched the vid, probably will not take the time to either.
I have learnt enough that there is a guy in Uganda doing some nasty stuff and no one likes him.
Pay me 10 million, I was have the problem sorted by the end of the month.
another interesting perspective on this KONY stuff.
http://blogs.independent.co.uk/2012/03/07/stop-kony-yes-but-dont-stop-asking-questions/
just did some research on this “charity”, seems the 3 main guys have been paying themselves around the $90,000/year mark for the last few years. Considering the USA’s median full time income is $39,993/year these guys are taking the piss…
I haven’t watched it and most likey won’t!!!!!
But from what I have read briefly, its pretty much the same as most “charitable” organisations!!!!! They always have their own needs covered before the people that they claim to be helpin!!!!!
“Charities” are a relative term in my experience. Do the people or the cause get money they would not have otherwise got, yes. Do they get anywhere near 100% of the money given in the name of that cause, most definitely not. Charities are a politically correct way to run a business for self profit that people see as being on the whole morally and ethically sound.
I had experience with this in relation to a friend of mine who entered into the world of collecting money for charity, you know the decent looking girls who hit you up on the street for just $20 a month to save the starving in Africa, fill out this credit card form etc etc. The deeper she got into it the more she realised it was a massive pyramid scheme, she went hell for leather for a while and ended up with a brand new Jeep Grand Cherokee before somewhat self disgusted ran away from it.
Fot that reason I generally choose not to give to charities, they exist publicly to help a cause but more often than not they help the causes of those in head office the most. The Movember guys are loaded as a result of their charity, they however created a charity that ppl want to be part of cause it’s fun, they have however donated a lot of money to causes I personally like.
With all that said however I will be interested to see the outcome of this campaign. The problem with internet groups and campaigns is that it is very easy for someone to become involved with a click of a mouse, the conviction does not have to run deep and govt know this. It’s still a watch and wait situation where govts will be interested to see if the internet campaigning and internet “popularity” will actually transfer into votes come ballot time.
check this out, proivides some insight into this so called “charity”

The Kony video is an experiment in viral marketing. You are told to listen very carefully at the very start. 750 million FaceBook users are being tested to see if than can be led by a slick and well made video that exploits his child, exploits your feelings. Either you will give him money (the charity takes 30% of it’s donations to pay salaries) and erect poster on a certain date. These invisible children are surviving on HOPE because they are getting the message that we understand their predicament - HOPE is what they need to keep running, keep hiding. They don’t need a WAR led by US forces. The US will sell guns to Kony to give to these kids so they can be his human shield. This war will refinance the USA, The USA fight war for profit, not for human rights, not against terror, not to find WMD’s. DON’T FINANCE ANOTHER WAR.
There is good and bad in the video. the good is that you are warned. The bad is that we are sheeple.
