FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
The video, from Invisible Children Inc, an activism organisation, was posted
to YouTube and Vimeo,
a film-sharing site, on Monday night and by late on Thursday it had been
viewed 32,600,000 times.
It aims to make Kony “famous” by encouraging supporters to plaster US cities
with posters, in order to make the fight against the Lord’s Resistance Army
an issue of “national interest” to Washington.
That, the video’s makers claim, will ensure funding for 100 US military
advisors sent to train African armies to find Kony will continue.
“Suggesting that the answer is more military action is just wrong,” said Javie
Ssozi, an influential Ugandan blogger.
“Have they thought of the consequences? Making Kony ‘famous’ could make him
stronger. Arguing for more US troops could make him scared, and make him
abduct more children, or go on the offensive.”
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”.
There were criticisms that the film quoted only three Ugandans, two of them
politicians, and that it spent more time showing the filmmaker’s
five-year-old son being told about Joseph Kony than explaining the root
causes of the conflict.
Invisible Voices has faced criticism over its finances. Of more than £6
million it spent in 2001, less than £2.3 million was for activities helping
people on the ground. The rest went on “awareness programmes and products”,
management, media and others.
“It is totally misleading to suggest that the war is still in Uganda,” said
Fred Opolot, spokesman for the Ugandan government.
“I suspect that if that’s the impression they are making, they are doing it
only to garner increasing financial resources for their own agenda.”
Invisible Children said the video focused on Uganda because its “people and
government…have a vested interest in seeing him stopped”.
“The LRA was active in Uganda for nearly 20 years, displacing 1.7 million
people and abducting at least 30,000 children,” it said in statement.
