Editor's Note: It is worth mentioning the background of "Invisible Children's" CEO, Ben Keesey and that he was formally pursuing a career at JP Morgan before suddenly becoming an advocate for a US AFRICOM invasion of resource rich Africa.
Like other fraudulent NGOs including Avaas.org who's founder is formally of Fortune 500-funded, George Soros and Zbignew Brzezinski's International Crisis Group (page 5) as well as the Soros-affiliated MoveOn.org, they exist within one degree of separation from the most depraved corporate-financier interests on earth, promoting identical agendas of invasion, war, occupation, and foreign meddling.
Edward Bernays believed that society could not be trusted to make
rational and informed decisions on their own, and that guiding public opinion was
essential within a democratic society. Bernays founded the Council on Public
Relations and his 1928 book, Propaganda cites
the methodology used in the application of effective emotional communication. He
discovered that such communication is capable of manipulating the unconscious
in an effort to produce a desired effect – namely, a capacity to manufacture
mass social adherence in support of products, political candidates and social
movements. Nearly a century after his heyday, Bernays’ methodology is apparent
in almost every form of civic and consumer persuasion. The platform of social
media is being used in unprecedented new ways, one such example is a new online
documentary about the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA), an extremist rebel group
operating in Central Africa.

Youth Movement Promotes US Military Presence in Central Africa
Edward Bernays believed that society could not be trusted to make
rational and informed decisions on their own, and that guiding public opinion was
essential within a democratic society. Bernays founded the Council on Public
Relations and his 1928 book, Propaganda cites
the methodology used in the application of effective emotional communication. He
discovered that such communication is capable of manipulating the unconscious
in an effort to produce a desired effect – namely, a capacity to manufacture
mass social adherence in support of products, political candidates and social
movements. Nearly a century after his heyday, Bernays’ methodology is apparent
in almost every form of civic and consumer persuasion. The platform of social
media is being used in unprecedented new ways, one such example is a new online
documentary about the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA), an extremist rebel group
operating in Central Africa.
The documentary is unprecedented, not for its educational attributes
but for its capacity to use visual branding, merchandising and highly potent
emotional communication to influence the viewer to support US military
operations in resource rich Central Africa under the pretext of capturing the
LRA’s commander, Joseph Kony. The Lord’s Resistance Army was originally formed
in 1987 in northwestern Uganda by members of the Acholi ethnic group, who were
historically exploited as forced laborers by the British colonialists and later
relegated by the nation’s dominant ethic groups following independence.
Together with the Holy Spirit Movement, the LRA represented the armed wing of a
resistance faction aiming to overthrow the government of current Ugandan
President and staunch US military ally, Yoweri Museveni.
The LRA was originally formed to combat ethic marginalization, but
soon became dominated by Joseph Kony, a self-proclaimed spiritual messenger of
the (Christian) Holy Spirit. Kony utilized his messianic persona to lead a
syncretic spiritual movement based on Acholi tribal beliefs’ and extremist
Christian dogma. It is claimed that LRA seeks to establish a theocratic state
based on the Ten Commandments, however its inner ideological mythology is
largely unknown. In an effort to mobilize a large scale armed resistance, the LRA
routinely recruited child soldiers and forced them to commit heinous acts such
as cannibalism and mutilation on others who resisted to join the rebel group
during their extensive twenty-five year campaign.
KONY 2012 is directed by
Jason Russell and runs just thirty minutes; the video has received over twenty million
views on YouTube and Vimeo and it’s national support group on Facebook is said
to gain 4,000 members each hour. The highly produced feature is narrated
from the perspective of Russell and his attempt to explain the Lord’s
Resistance Army to his infant son, Gavin. The video features footage from
Russell’s trip to Uganda (prior to 2006, when the LRA was still operating in
the region) and introduces the viewer to Jacob, a Ugandan boy who was formally
recruited by the LRA as a child soldier. Russell presents various montages of
ethically diverse groups of students raising their fists in the air, sporting
KONY t-shirts, and scenes of mass celebration in response to President Obama
signing the S. 1067: Lord's Resistance Army Disarmament and Northern
Uganda Recovery Act of 2009.
