KONY 2012

The point of the video/campaign was to raise awareness. So regardless as to whether or not it is 100% accurate, it's done its job methinks.

57.7 Million views in 4 days? Not bad.

Well if the point were to raise awareness how come they published the movie now and kony and LRA moved out of uganda in 2006?

Soo if Hitler had moved out of Germany in 1945 everyone would have just been like, "oh sup, np Hitler war over now."

I think the main point that people are concerned about is that if they really cared about helping and only that they would have raised awareness like this back when it was a much more serious issue. I havn't done much research on it so I don't know how true it all is but all I think is that there is obviously much more going on here than is seen.

Okey i have done some research now.. and the things that are a little intresting is that LRA moved out of Uganda in 2006. Why do they say in the movie now that they need money for american soldiers to come to Uganda to protect the country? Resently USA has found oil in Uganda and suddenly this movie is released. Invisible Children Takes most of the amount that gets donated and just a small part goes to the one in need of help. I have read that of all the donations to stop kony invisible children has taken 70% of all money to the organisation itself and only 30% came through to the people. All this things is a bit intresting and especially that USA has recently found oil in Uganda.

Sorry for some miss spelling was in a big hurry when i wrote this.

Well now Mr. Conspirator, some useful information:

"on the Ugandan territory, researchers have discovered 2.5 billion barrels of oil in 2011."

"The US uses >7 billion barrels of oil annually.
To say that there's all this interest in a country because it contains enough oil to sustain us for a few months is ridiculous."

"That is enough to fuel America for 125 days (4 months 5 days) . This is nothing, it's not even worth setting
up the drilling rigs. "

Just because USA uses more doesnt mean some US company wouldnt love to get the contracts from there o.O
(Besides business like that attracts more business, somebody gotta loan them money, build the roads, rails, housing, etc etc)

You dont need any cospiracy theories to see how funny it is that nobody gives a fuck about a country that was more or less like that for 40 years but they suddently get world wide attention...after oil is found. Not even saying the stupid vid got any connections with USA, just noted that its funny >.>

edit: Did a lil research and seems that Total was faster already, aww.
