Time to jump back into my blogs and what better topic to start with that a post about Kony. I kind of got in on the tail end of the conversation, but something was just not sitting well with me.
Today I saw this article and it makes a lot of sense given the propaganda that the government puts out on a daily basis.
by BAR managing editor Bruce A. Dixon
A week ago Invisible Children released a video that was immediately picked up and promoted by every corporate news and entertainment outlet till it went "viral". Kony 2012 allegedly "promotes awareness" of and contributes to the end of child soldiering in Africa. But is that really what it's about? Is it, like the old Save Darfur war dance, another propaganda campaign to justify US intervention in Africa?
Thanks to relentless promotion by Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, Bloomberg News, ABC, CBS, Oprah, celebrities and politicians of both corporate parties, along with right wing church groups and foundations, the Kony 2012 video has “gone viral.” Viewed on YouTube more than a hundred million times by now, it paints a vivid and simple picture, clear enough, its narrator says, for a five year old.
Read more and please keep and open mind and think for yourself. Try not to be led by the main stream media. There will be a video tomorrow
