    Kony 2012

    They're calling it the most viral video ever posted on the internet. This one doesn't feature kittens.

    Over 83 MILLION people have now viewed it.

    Do you know who Joseph Kony is? Find out.

    Pass it on.

    It was a very compelling video but, how much support will the cause get after the main guy behind the movement flipped out like that?

    It's just propaganda to get the US in there for oil. Kony has been missing or dead since 2008. All the pictures and footage are from around 2005.

    It's basically "Wag the Dog" in real life.

    I'm with you. And its amazing how very few of those 83million people have done their fact checking to see that this guy hadn't been around for almost 4 years!

    That guy doesnt give 2 craps about ugandan children so calling him the guy behind the movement is also a good joke. He gets paid 90K a year to make stupid videos just like the kony 2012 one. The whole kony 2012 thing is complete BS and if you have donated a cent to invisible children then youre a fool

    According to the President of Uganda (who probably wants Kony dead more than anyone) says that Kony hasn't been in Uganda since 2006. His force was defeated by the Ugandan army and driven out of Uganda.

    Here is his response to the Kony2012 video:

    Re: Kony 2012

    Yea the whole thing is sketchy to me. The guy makes one video, gets a ton of money from donations, an only gives 31 percent of it to help the cause IF THERE IS ONE. An what i wanna know is if they knew this was going on from 2006 an up why is it so important in 2012 over those other years. why wasn't there a kony 2011,2010 an so on. An why is the other people from the LRA being posted why don't we know there names an see there pictures if u really want this guy caught why not go all in an tell us everything you know about lra an everyone in it. i think the whole campaign is a sham but alot of people disagree with me so by all means donate if u want to its your decision

    Apparently A LOT of people know who Kony is/was.

    More importantly, A LOT of people also know the backstory of this "viral" video............
