I'll "fall" for anything with children. I have been aware of this movement for a few years, not just yesterday. I have actively supported Invisible Children.  I believe that children should have the right to live a full life. Anyone who will harm children is a below human, no matter where they live. They should be brought to justice. If this is wrong, then what is right?

Jiah011:

Spread the word and help bring this monster, Joseph Kony, to justice in Uganda! Let's do what we can to give a voice to the invisible children. At least as Nigerians with all the problems Nigeria has, things are not this bad. Abducting children and forcing them to kill and violation as to become child soldiers is as low as humanity can get and this does not happen in Nigeria. Let's move Africa into the light and stand in solidarity with those without a voice! At least for innocent children. They should at least have a chance! Reblog and repost and share this video everywhere you can! Let's get the word out. Children should at least have a chance to live! Reblog and repost and share this video everywhere you can! Let's get the word out. Thanks!

#StopKony2012

Please can you stop being a pain in the A** and research information instead of just
parroting what NGOs backed by the US Govt want you to say

The NGO, the Invisible Children that did this video that got 38 million hits in a few days
are "Suspect" and are being used by the US Govt Intel to push this agenda so that
we can have more US/Nato Interventions in Africa and more Resource grabs by Western Powers -

I said this about 7 months ago,

I gonna pull up the post and put it up for you

And by the Way Where was the USA in the late 1980's, 1990's when all this was supposed
to be happening in the Uganda?

Here are the Invisible Children NGO posing with Ugandan Govt forces who are currently
puppets doing the dirty work  for the USA in Somalia & Sudan and the Congo,

@ martinosi- I not trying to be an a** as you put it. I was only posting this video to share awareness. People can do whatever they want with it, help or ignore. If you have further information to share, by all means share it. There are so many conspiracy theories that no one knows what to believe. At the end of the day, I am only concerned about the welfare of Africans. We should be able to fix our own problems without Western intervention, I agree. I know that the West cares nothing about strife unless there is money or resources that they could acquire. They are the reason the world is messed up in the first place, as history shows. If there are things going on under the radar in Uganda and other African nations, we Africans should uncover them for the world to see instead of letting foreign entities have their way within this continent. I read somewhere that Germany has a ammunition factory in Northern Nigeria. Are they fighting any wars? No, so why do they have a factory in Northern Nigeria of all places. This makes you wonder where Boko Haram and other rogue entities get their arsenal of weapons to wreak havoc as they do. The magnitude of conspiracies could be even bigger than we think. And "our beloved" Nigerian government could be part of it! Corruption, apathy, disorganization, etc etc etc. A million reasons why Africa has problems. But I have faith in Africa for Africans.

I came to know of Invisible Children about 5 years ago, and have been following their efforts for a while. This whole initiative is controversial indeed. It always will be controversial when an outsider comes into a place and champions a cause they have no reason to or no apparent vested interest. The world is unfair indeed in that they can show all the commercials of hungry African children on tv, but white people are the ones asking for help and money. Why can't we Africans/Blacks help ourselves? And when we try to, why doesn't anyone take us seriously? Aren't we good enough? We are more than enough and we actually care. Or at least I do. All I know is that we live in a world where global citizens are using media in new ways. It can be used positively and negatively. We can still take this situation and help those around us in our communities who are doing us wrong. I am not a spokesperson for Invisible Children, but I love kids and its a personal ministry of mine to champion their causes. Tis all.

Another propaganda campaign by the Western Instruments of Deceits (Western sponsored NGOs) to claim the huge Oil Reserve that was recently discovered in Uganda. Kony has been committing atrocities for the past 25 yrs, but the West never gave a damn, only now that huge Oil reserve was discovered in that country did they pretend to care. Surely, the leopard can never change its spots. I pity those who can not see the Hypocrisy of this Western Vultures.

You and Martinosi echoed my thoughts.

@Jiah011: I applaud your efforts, however I believe there are many organizations out there more deserving of your support than Invisible Children.
