Must. Get. Ren. To. MDSC.



Don't donate to the Kony 2012 cause.
Donate to Ren 2012.

I don't think anyone here is dumb enough to donate to a charity organisation that is pretty much blacklisted, and only passes on around 23% of their profits, the rest goes into salaries/travel/expenses AND media movie production.

True story. But, I do love that millions of people watched it and never thought to check the credentials of the charity.

Invisible Children has been condemned time and time again. As a registered not-for-profit, its finances are public. Last year, the organization spent $8,676,614. Only 32% went to direct services (page 6), with much of the rest going to staff salaries, travel and transport, and film production. This is far from ideal for an issue which arguably needs action and aid, not awareness, and Charity Navigator rates their accountability 2/4 stars because they lack an external audit committee. But it goes way deeper than that.

The group is in favour of direct military intervention, and their money supports the Ugandan government’s army and various other military forces. Here’s a photo of the founders of Invisible Children posing with weapons and personnel of the Sudan People’s Liberation Army. Both the Ugandan army and Sudan People’s Liberation Army are riddled with accusations of rape and looting, but Invisible Children defends them, arguing that the Ugandan army is “better equipped than that of any of the other affected countries”, although Kony is no longer active in Uganda and hasn’t been since 2006 by their own admission. These books each refer to the rape and sexual assault that are perennial issues with the UPDF, the military group Invisible Children is defending.

Fair enough.... I have no white guilt so meh.

We're talking about it I guess, apparently it has nearly 30 million views in under a day.

Pretty sure the states should make a thirty minute video tugging at peoples heart strings about all the 'ed up shit going on in their own backyard - before running off to wage war on one warlord in Africa.

[B4TT]

yeah LOL.

I would wage war on all of them and take their countries natural resources, I would so head to the diamond minds and some of the newer gold fields.. would be epic.
