There's a lot of things people don't know and just because they've been suckered in by a video, think they know all about it..
EDIT: Link to article here, defo worth a read: http://www.sabotagetimes.com/life/kony- ... -campaign/
This above is what I disagree with. Never in the mission statement was it ever mentioned as giving money to the children. The whole point of this campaign is to make Kony famous so that people know what the problem is. If you watch the video you will have seen that america has already sent in forces to solve the situation however they will with draw them if there isn't considerable public interest. The whole point of the campaign is to generate this public interest to keep forces in Uganda NOT to donate money to the children in Uganda!
As for not knowing where the money is going and saying it is going to gangs or other bs then why would they build such a profile charity and then get involved with american politicians? Seems like a pretty long shot.
Also I heard today that another conspiracy was that the whole KONY 2012 was a plan by American Government in order to make up a false story so that they could militarise Africa. Because It is between them and China. BS!
