Invisible Children, a charity based in San Diego, certainly had the lash, in the form of a 30-minute video about the Ugandan warlord Joseph Kony and his Lord’s Resistance Army. The “Kony 2012” video, pitched to a 5-year-old’s sense of right and wrong, was an attempt to bring attention — and justice — to the case of Mr. Kony, whose violent paramilitary group has long been accused of using children as soldiers.
“Kony 2012” went viral last week and, helped by Twitter messages and endorsements by celebrities like Oprah Winfrey and Mia Farrow, had exceeded 71 million views on YouTube by Sunday afternoon.

I read the New York Times not so that I may know what is real, but so that I may know what is not real. The New York Times does not give the slightest coverage to anything that threatens the system of which it is a propaganda organ. This is a good rule of thumb.
I'll sometimes "check out." I'll go a couple of weeks without listening to the radio, or watching the "news." This practice allows me to decouple from the collective insanity which has gripped this nation. This cooling off period refreshes my critical thinking skills.
So I come back from my cultural exile the other day and I see that there is a new streetcorner con going on called KONY 2012. Everyone's all up in arms about something, and everyone's mixed themselves up a new batch of Kool Aid. I said to myself, "Alright. What are these idiots falling for now? Hm? What's the new con in town?"
I gave the issue a cursory ten minutes of my time before coming up with my provisional determination, which I will predict is at least 90% correct:
"Invisible children is a UN-sponsored non-governmental organization. Their job is to get everyone all stirred up about the latest bad man so that there will be 'grassroots' support for United States military intervention in Africa, where there's all sorts of oil and gold and rare earth elements and everything. The purpose of the KONY 2012 video was to provide the perceived moral authority for AFRICOM to secure these riches for their banker masters."
Print it out, save it, refer to it in a year. See if I'm right.
I guarantee you that the bankers who run this world couldn't give a shit less about some dead 'niggers' in Africa. They regard them as useless eaters.
You people need to wisen up.
