 GET INVOLVED. STOP AT NOTHING. THE WORLD MUST KNOW.
I dare you to stop scrolling through your dashboard. Stop checking your Facebook newsfeed that you’ve already checked two seconds ago. Stop updating your Twitter and seeing what your favorite celebrities are saying. Stop watching funny and nonsense videos on Youtube. Take time to educate yourself to MAKE A DIFFERENCE in this world. This is your chance! WATCH THIS VIDEO. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4MnpzG5Sqc)
Let’s make JOSEPH KONY Famous!!
Who is JOSEPH KONY?
He is THE WORST LIVING CRIMINAL. He abducts children and makes them use guns to kill their own parents. He takes girls and forces them to be sex slaves. He calls his abducted children the Lord’s Resistance Army, AKA the LRA. He has abducted over 30,000 children and forced them to be child soldiers in Central Africa. He remains at large because he is INVISIBLE to the world. FEW know his name, even FEWER know his crimes. WE ARE MAKING HIM FAMOUS! Because when he is, the world will unite against him and demand his arrest.
We can help make a change. We can make a difference.
I feel so inspired. I feel the need to help and make a difference. This has to happen in 2012. We can’t let him go around and keep doing this to children in Central Africa. Let’s make his name known so he can be stopped. HE CAN NO LONGER BE INVISIBLE!
and if anyone wants to share it in portuguese as well on your blogs and stuff, here it is translated:
SE ENVOLVA, NÃO PARE POR NADA. O MUNDO PRECISA SABER.
Numa lista com os piores cirminosos do mundo, o primeiro lugar foi de Joseph Kony. Ele sequestra crianças, força-as a usar armas, mater seus próprios pais e multilar o rosto de quem resistir, as meninas sequestradas viram escravas sexuais. Ele chama essas crianças de o Exército de Resistência do Senhor, a LRA em inglês. Esse exército não luta por causa ou valor nenhum e só serve para mantê-lo no poder. E isso ele não fez só com algumas crianças, mas com 30.000 CRIANÇAS da africa central em 26 anos. E mesmo assim, ele continua INVISÍVEL pro mundo, poucos sabem seu nome e menos gente ainda conhecem seus crimes.
Chega, vamos DEIXÁ-LO FAMOSO! E quando ele ficar, o mundo vai se unir contra ele e exigir que ele seja preso.
Ano passado os EUA cederam à pressão de jovens do mundo todo e mandaram um pequeno grupo de militares para assistir os militares de Uganda, mas a pressão não pode ceder e a única chance é agora! ELE TEM QUE SER PRESO EM 2012 OU CAIRÁ NO ESQUECIMENTO! Faça sua parte, é hora de agir!
Passe adiante a mensagem, deixe-o famoso! Fale dele, espalhe cartazes, influencie nossos políticos e celebridades.
ELE NÃO PODE MAIS SER INVISÍVEL!

I commend your willingness to try and stop something this horrific but sadly I feel I must direct attention to this journal entry of a deviantartist who also posted it. yuumei.deviantart.com/journal/Is-Invisible-Children-Trustworthy-289115279Turns out that the people who made the video are a little... sketchy and untrustworthy. So... yeah a lot to be ashamed of humanity of an this thread. T_T |

Yeah, my dad and I thought it was something fishy when we calculated how ONE guy captured, trained, threatened, and used 30,000 children as bodyguards. Regardless, I think it's good to raise awareness, but I wouldn't do much more than that. I would let the officials act in the best way they see fit. Afterall, we don't want to start more wars by taking out one guy. It's so complicated, but all we can do is raise PROPER awareness.

Well what's fishy about it is that the people who made that video run their money into the Ugandan military... who are not exactly saints...

I'm with you there Rogo. That's why my stand on this is raise awareness, but let people who know what they're doing give us options of how to help. (o3o)b
If I've learned anything from history class, it's that citizens of our/a country are very distrusting of the government and so take matters into their own hands. However (this is case in my country) our government basically runs on public opinion. If we something done bad enough, we can get it done even if the government really doesn't want to spend its time/resources. We're very opinionated over here. LOL

I watched the video and felt inspired or something, didn't think it through and only got to know about the other side to it after I had posted it everywhere ._.
I feel ashamed, sorry guys >.<

Don't EVER feel ashamed for giving a Trash Ana.
You were misinformed by your passion came from a good place.
That alone is admirable.

^Agreed  I was impressed that you posted it actually. It's too bad that the organization behind this isn't as trustworthy as we all thought, but YOUR heart was in the right place, and I find it cool that you wanted to do something to help. Even though the information about it was exaggerated, there still is horrible stuff going on over there and I think you still did a good thing spreading awareness about it. |

Yup! Like I said, I am in full support of catching this guy and bringing him to justice!~ I am just as passionate as you are Ana and I love how the whole Interenet is uniting to find him. It's a wonderful idea, so it's a shame the organization that started it is not too trustworthy. But that aside, I don't know about you, but this looks like a really positive step in the right direction. :3

Besides, I'd rather people repeatedly post the video over and over than smug jackasses post memes mocking people for doing so.
*cough*

For something as serious as this, that's just plain wrong. As much as I disagree with the way the organization is running, I cannot say that people wanting to help is stupid or bad.
Makes Feathers sad~ D:
