I first heard about this
particular puke some two decades ago and I am sure like many, had thought that
he was long dead. No such luck obviously
and this campaign is well worth our support.
The idea is simple. We will work
to make him a household name that everyone knows and make it impossible to hide
without every movement triggering reactions.
When his sorry band enters a village, everyone with a cell phone can
simply twitter his presence or his ‘armies’ presence. The point is to make sure he cannot evade
ground intelligence unless he totally goes to ground.
We cannot confront an armed quasi
governmental force that has ground support in this manner, but we sure can
confront outright warlords who utterly lack that ground support. Curiously, the one national environment that
lacks ground support for the powers that be is that of Iran
In this manner, counter
revolutionary forces are able to see the locations of all mullahs all the
time. This should serve to intimidate
them and perhaps even make them more paranoid than they are. Maybe we can even have a daily mullah report broadcast.
My real point is that the majority
of Iranians are no longer supporters of the Mullahs at all and they are
terribly vulnerable as is Mr Kony hiding in his jungles.
'Kony 2012' Campaign Against Uganda
By Enjoli Francis | ABC News – 19 hrs ago
If you logged onto Facebook at
any point today, you may very well have found friends and others sharing "Kony 2012,"
a 30-minute YouTube film on the Ugandan warlord Joseph
Kony.
The nonprofit charity Invisible Children Inc. uploaded the video Monday
to bring attention to Kony and the rebel group Lord's Resistance Army, which
has terrorized central Africa for several
years. The YouTube video currently has more than 7 million views.
The hashtag #stopkony has been trending worldwide on Twitter.
On its Facebook page, Invisible Children says it "uses film,
creativity and social action to end the use of child soldiers in Joseph Kony's
rebel war and restore LRA-affected communities in Central
Africa to peace and prosperity."
The charity came about after three Southern California filmmakers
returned from Africa and released a
documentary on the children forced to fight under Kony's leadership.
In October, President Obama sent 100 troops to Uganda
During that announcement, he said that for more than two decades the
LRA had been responsible for having "murdered, raped, and kidnapped tens
of thousands of men, women, and children in central Africa" and continues
to "commit atrocities across the Central African Republic, the Democratic
Republic of the Congo, and South Sudan that have a disproportionate impact on
regional security."
On April 20, the group is asking supporters to cover their hometowns
with posters calling for Kony to be brought to justice. On its website,
supporters can sign a petition and contribute to the cause by buying T-shirts,
posters and bracelets.
