Buyer Beware On KONY 2012 and the Invisible Children Charity
Many people are very upset at how Invisible Children Inc has been using the Joseph Kony Saga to cause sensationalism, so as to create a way for them to collect more money in donations and enrich themselves.
The more money they collect, the more these Invisible Children executives pay themselves hefty bonuses. Base salary for Invisible Children exec is about $85, 0000. When allowances and bonuses are added, these guys make over $160,000 a year. Just think what this money they lavish themselves with, could do for the people in Africa for whom they claim to be collecting donations for.

Legit charity or a bottom-feeding scam? One thing is for sure, a lot of money is changing hands. Buyer beware!
Invisible Children Inc does NOT have an Independent and external Auditor. Their Financial Statements as submitted to the Charity Navigator web site cannot be independently verified. It should be assumed to be a cooked financial statement since it was submitted by their in house Auditor and can not be substantiated by a third party.
Invisible Children Inc Executives have retained expensive Lawyers and in the past have been threatening libel suits to any one who dares to question their financial operations or their ethical legitimacy. They have also used your donation money to hire expensive Washington lobbyists to influence policies to suit their objectives. There close social relationships with African Oppressive regimes have also ensured that they have been protected and shrouded in biased and lopsided misinformation for years.
For the last 2 years less than 10% of funds collected by Invisible Children are sent to the Ground to help the Ugandan Children. Previous to that, less than 30% of the money they collected was sent to Uganda to help the Ugandan People. A preliminary survey of all projects and activity on the ground in Uganda to help the Uganda Children does not even total up to $1.5 Million of the $13 Million they have collected in donations so far.
The Executives of Invisible Children have used the ‘Invisible Children Inc’ Charity to farther their own Careers in Media, Film and Music. Before Invisible Children Inc started, the Executive directors where Media arts students who went to Africa to look for project to farther their careers. They first went to Southern Sudan on a hit and miss venture and by just by chance they went farther south and stumbled upon the conflict in Northern Uganda. Since then they have capitalized on the Uganda -Joseph Kony War to spear head their media, film and music careers. They have also become stinky rich and drive in fancy cars and live in fancy houses with your donation money.
Now in 2012, Invisible Children has created this STOP Kony 2012 viral video campaign to mislead people that they are collecting money to help catch Joseph Kony? The LRA Joseph Kony war, that they talk about in their video has ended over 3 years ago. Joseph Kony has not been seen or heard from, for the last two years and is actually believed to be dead. The United Nations however has reported that villages in Central Africa have recently been raided and people killed by thugs believed to be the LRA soldiers of Joseph Kony.
What many people do not kow, is that over 5 months ago, the USA Government had already sent 100 combat marine soldiers to Uganda and Central Africa to catch Joseph Kony. These Marines are co-coordinating their efforts with the armies of Uganda, DR Congo, South Sudan, and Central African Republic in an effort to Catch Kony. How is the Money you donate going to be used help catch Joseph Kony? Does Invisible Children have an Army in Africa that they are collecting this money to equip for a mission to catch kony? On invisible children’s donate website, they write that; “To bring home Joseph Kony’s child soldiers, it will take an army of individuals making a monthly commitment through TRI contributions” Is the Money you donate to Invisible Children and Kony2012 being given to the United States Government to capture Kony? Off course Not. Will the Money be sent to Africa to Help the African Poor People? Yes only only less than 10%. So what will Invisible Children do with the rest of the 90% of your money? Think about it!
Besides the viral Video of kony2012 contains recycled materials outdated six years ago. The Ugandan kids you see in those Videos are already over 21 years and are currently struggling in Uganda to continue with their lives while, Invisible Children is still Sensationalizing them for their own personal gains. The information in the kony2012 Viral video is half untrue, t is misleading, biased and completely out dated.
The Viral Youtube ‘Invisible Children’ Video does not focus on helping Ugandan children but rather on showcasing the media skills of the video maker. If you want to Donate Money to help Children In Uganda, You are better off donating your money to any of the many Charity Organizations that deal directly with helping people. Do NOT waste your money and donate to Invisible Children. source – KONY2012

Yep…I saw this stuff years ago and it hasn’t changed much. I am always wary of these charities, but even more so when they use the misery of children to solicit funds! If you want to give to a great children’s charity, give to Rancho Sordo Mudo. It is the only free deaf school in Mexico and they do a wonderful work! They’ve taken kids out of jails in Tijuana and taught them, gave them a trade, and a new life in Christ…just too much stuff for me to list. Look them up on the web. They’re sponsored by Berean Baptist Missions…

I’ll say this in defense of the campaign..there are other ways that you stop Kony quote on quote..they mentioned technology needed to give to the ugandan military to find him and track him..that costs lots of money…also facilitating the process of rebuilding the kids schools, sending them to their families all cost money. The amount of advertising they spend to market the stop kony campaign (even the video) is also a lot of money, hiring people to lead these actions also cost money…so I doubt its 90 percent of the funds just going in ppls pockets…I also dont mind allowing the heads to make 85k salary..considering the work they are doing to get freedom to children and reuniting to their families..85k isn’t lavish..lol…credit should be given to those who dedicate their time and energy to things as opposed to just watching tv all day…HOWEVER, I don’t for one second believe this shit is about the one nobel generous heart of a white guy to help little black children…how about homosexuality being spread throughout african american communities..that is the start to the death of all black people…how about spreading drugs in our communities..that is death….but those same people were not concerned here in America so what makes them so concerned in Africa….I think this is about seeing if the platform for this campaign is effective..with new technology and facebook not going anywhere…propagandist/politicians/lobbyist/white supremists all have to figure out how they are going to push agenda in a new age and if it will be successful…the stop kony shit is just the check to see how much of this world will follow anything they see without questioning with the guise of “we are all one” “we are all human” “we must all fight”

I love your all’s information, sources, and news that don’t even get aired on FOX (not surprisingly). Moreover, I supply many other people, and on Facebook NTEB’s material. However, just a friendly reminder, we all make mistakes, and don’t take this harshly and on the editor, but if it’s not too much to ask, please proofread a bit more. There are a few grammatical errors with missing letters in words in this article. The reason I bring this up is for the fact of how many adversaries we’re up against in exploiting the sin in this world, and how we’re held to a higher standard. No worries, because I’m preaching to myself and we all need constructive criticism.
God Bless

The guy is not even left in Uganda.
This is to secure the oil and minerals in Uganda and kick out the Chinese, also it will help Obama to be reelected, especially if he can take out this guy (that should have been taken out many many years ago, he was kept alive for a campaign like this).
It’s too choreographed to be anything grass-roots, it’s the same i-zombies being used as per usual.

First of all I want to say awesome blog! I had a
quick question in which I’d like to ask if you do not mind. I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your mind before writing. I’ve had a tough time clearing my
mind in getting my ideas out there. I do enjoy writing however it just seems
like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually wasted
simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas
or hints? Appreciate it!
