I just started another KONY thread, didn't realize there had been one started already. It's interesting to see light shed on the organization. Still a moving film though.
The first is a blog post on the subject from a local non-profit organization that works in Kenya.
The second link is a factual response from Invisible Children themselves.
I know there has been a lot of bashing of this campaign, but I encourage people to do their own research and be informed before they form their own opinions.

What they don't cover in their factual response letter is that they had income of $13.7 million in 2011 and spent $8.8 million. What are they doing with the nearly $5 million in net income?
I think it's a pretty fascinating insight into the human mind to see just how quickly this has caught on with the college-aged demographic though. Spreading like wildfire over social media.
Sadly, its not surprising. And that is not a good thing.
This is funny. I first heard about Joseph Kony in 1994 at Camp Pendelton as someone that we might be going to find. Nothing ever happened. This guy has been around for years and years and now all of the sudden since these guys released this video everyone is concerned and wants to get him.
The main problem is Kony is in hiding and really has no leadership left. If we are going to get him it would be to prosecute him. Not stop what is happening. For every Joseph Kony over in that theatre their are 2000 other guys that will be doing the same stuff on a lesser scale. Only to build it up to his level.
The charity involved in this is as sketchy as they come. They are in it for the money and attention. If they were in it for the right reasons they would have done something 20 years ago to catch this guy.
Don't donate to these idiots. The government is fully aware of Kony and his goons. This charity will do nothing but spend your money on crap.
Nobody but HB knows for sure. You pretty much know nothing....like Knownothing would like to say.

It's blowing up my newsfeed as well - one girl got into an 85 comment argument with someone who basically pointed out what this article says. It was entertaining, he stayed logical and she eventually started typing in all CAPS at him.
What really gets me are the people on my feed saying that the US NEEDS to get involved because we should be concerned about the world's problems.........yet are the same ones saying we never should have gone to Afghanistan or Iraq because 'we aren't the world's babysitter'. I'm not arguing about what side you're on, but shouldn't you at least be consistent? Saddam and the Taliban weren't exactly treating their people nicely either.
