Been posted... and there's a lot more to it. Many people are probably being misled. While the intentions are good, this is just mass social media frenzy and people not doing their own research.

All you need to know about that video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=7DO73Ese25Y Kony and the LRA have been ERADICATED and have been INACTIVE in Uganda since 2006; there is now a peace process in place. Of the money that gets donated to Invisible Children, only 31% goes on their charity work. The rest goes to film making. But this 31% of your money, that you either directly give to them or help them raise through sharing their video, goes toward causes like funding Uganda’s military and the Sudan People’s Liberation Army (both of which have done despicable things, such as using rape as a weapon of war). The organization behind Kony 2012 — Invisible Children Inc. — is an extremely shady nonprofit that has been called ”misleading,” “naive,” and “dangerous” by a Yale political science professor , and has been accused by Foreign Affairs of “manipulating facts for strategic purposes.” They have also been criticized by the Better Business Bureau for refusing to provide information necessary to determine if IC meets the Bureau’s standards. If you really want to help then send your money to non profits that are putting more than 31% toward rebuilding the nations medical and educational infrastructure, so that former child soldiers have something to come home to. Enjoy your night you armchair activists. and Of the $8.9 million in donations they spent in 2011, this is the breakdown: $1.7 million in US employee salaries $357,000 in Film costs $850,000 in Production costs $751,000 in Computer equipment $244,000 in "professional services" (DC lobbyists) $1.07 million in travel expenses $400,000 in yearly office rent in downtown San Diego $16,000 in Entertainment etc... Only 2.8 million (31%) made it to their charity program (which is further whittled down by local Ugandan government officials) - what do the children actually get? oh and http://pastebin.com/Ku2Hw7W0 |
