Chris Duane on Kony 2012-Is it a Scam or Worse?--03-09-2012

Chris Duane is on to something here. Kony 2012 has become an overnight YouTube sensation with over 70,000,000 downloads in a matter of days. The video describes the exploitation of young children by Joseph Kony, a warlord in Uganda. However, it is rumored that Kony is no longer present there. The organization promoting this production has spent big bucks on it. They are known for taking in lots of money for worthy African Child protection efforts, but paying out relatively little for the purpose. Chris believes the purpose of this 30 minute short video may be worse than anyone thinks. There's lots of oil in Uganda, and the US has 100 troops there for the purpose of pursuing terrorists. Could the video be a means of building further support for greater intervention? Time will tell.

Worse. Its the International Crisis Group trying to involve us in one more mess to protect their interests.

International crisis group notables.

Thomas R Pickering, Louise Arbour, George Soros, Kofi Annan, Samuel Berger, Wesley Clark, Mohamed El Baradei and many more. Be sure to take a look at the Sr advisors too. Names like HRH Prince Turki al-Faisal, Richard Armitage, Zbigniew Brzezinski....

There is a lot of evil in the world, but why does this evil exist? I submit because good men sit around and do nothing. It’s easier to wait for someone else to swoop in, lay down the lives of their men and women, and fight to overthrow yet another evil man.

But, what is in it for us? Seriously, if Uganda fell of the globe in the morning - what would happen? In short, nothing. If the people of Uganda would rise up, they outnumber the enemy by at least 1000:1.

I humbly submit that ‘saving’ them, without expecting them to do anything - harms them in the long run. I offer Afghanistan, Iraq and countless smaller countries where we have rushed in to help; and either established ‘War Lords’ or other petty dictators - who turned on their people the instant we left.

I don’t see why we need spill one drop of American blood, on this soil. There is nothing in our national interests to justify this.

Seems to me that people who once held high security position in the American government should be subject to arrest for joining groups like this. Sandy Berger should have been buried under the jail.

Its a little ridiculous to believe we really have any national secrets at this point.

I agree. We can only hope that there are still some good Americans left in our security agencies who keep the sensitive stuff hidden from 0bama's thugs so that it doesn't get willingly compromised.

The Wikileaks stooge, Pvt. Manning.. His actions discredited our government in immeasurable ways which match perfectly with what team 0bama has been doing since day one.

There are many so-called "Americans" within our government who openly commit treason and/or espionage (0bama, Eric Holder, Leon Panetta, etc.) on a daily basis and it has gone unpunished and EVEN WORSE, ACCEPTED.
