Fact, even Ugandan officials are coming out saying that this video is 15 years too late. Nobody's doubting that he's a bad person, but the people who made this video made it very misleading (according to TONS of credible places that I'm just too lazy to find all the links for right now). Kony hasn't been seen in Uganda in 6 years, why are they bringing this up right now? Oh yeah, like it's been said before; OIL. Come on people, don't be so naive! Conspiracy theories my ass, do your global politics homework and you'd see the truth in this. It's a good message to stop the bad guy from doing bad things, but that's not the real reason this is gaining so much attention....

I personally will not share these videos with anyone because they serve an ulterior motive that most people are too blind to see to put it nicely.

c'mon man... invisible children have been marketing this Kony guy for TEN years.... WAY before the oil was discovered. They've been on fucking Oprah TWICE so this "why is it coming out now" criticism is the one which is outdated.

The main misleading piece, like you correctly pointed out, is that it paints a picture of Uganda 6 years ago. True, that makes viewers make rash decisions but surely congress has a more inquisitive mind than the average Facebook user and so policy will be made in a better... more "real" way shall i say. Already, there are 100 American special advisors in Uganda and the main aim is to KEEP them there not send more so i really dont see how the viral video will further any imperialism...?
