To Kony, or Not to Kony.. That IS The Question
Notice how people can and will rally to cause after being emotionally instigated? Ever notice how easily the public can be manipulated via mainstream media into believing anything presented to them in a clean and polished video production? Have you ever found out about an atrocity which has gone hidden from public view for a long time ( and foolishly believed your benevolent government had no idea about it )?
The CIA are experts in being in everyone's business, so no high crime goes unnoticed, only unpunished until a good reason ( something of value ) comes about... for if anyone has been paying attention, there have been several atrocities throughout Africa and the developing world with no mention of them in mainstream media nor any reaction from Washington. Why? No political value or resource value to be realized, so no better reason than 'saving lives' is evident. This is a sad reality.
Yet, people are hyped into believing their government works on prudence, ethics and 'doing the right thing.' This is part of the Amerikan Dream. Unless there is a profit to be realized, nothing will be done... no matter how many people are being slaughtered or whatever.
Remember Rwanda in recent years? That genocide went on for quite some time before an United Nations personnel were deployed.. yet the effort was dismal at first. Why? Rwanda has little to offer those who make war / occupy / police for profit. Simple yet hard fact to swallow.
Getting caught in the headlights of the media hype of 'bringing to justice' some outlaw or evil doers can be dangerous in light of today's political climate. Obama signed into law ( irregardless of his reasons or objections, he still signed it which bounds all his subordinates to adhere ) N.D.A.A. which renders due process useless for anyone 'believed to be' an enemy of the state, domestic or foreign, citizen or not. In essence, no trial, no jury, no day in court.. just being thrown in a place like Guantanamo ( didn't he promise to close that torture chamber? ).
The magnitude of this decision / law being passed is monumental.
Gone is due process and your rights. Little Bush, with the inception of homeland security ( reminiscent of das Heimatland which was a 'change' Germany experienced after the fall of the Weinmar Republic ), wrote in the usurpation of your Constitutional rights, and Obama followed suit with NDAA. So not blaming either puppet here, just showcasing the agenda behind the front of politics= the left vs right lie.
To understand my point, one needs to know or simply read what happened in that German republic when it was transformed into an authoritarian state from one ruled by the people and their agreed-to laws.
I say this to point out the parallels and the repeat of history now here, stateside. It is dangerous for the populous to be instigated and rallied around ( even a seemingly noble cause, if you can call a worldwide lynch mob noble ) a simple narrative without a bigger picture of the history of the world. My point with adding the recent video is to show how MANY atrocities have, are and sadly will happen... and when you 'find out about it,' most likely there is an agenda or bigger reason than "that's wrong, make them stop."
What I see with the Kony story is how this story is publicized and directly marketed to people looking for the next 'bad guy' to go to war with... a 'justified' war or occupation... while all along plenty of other injustices are perpetrated against innocent people yet no political or monetary value can be realized so nothing is done... and those stories surely never see the light of day on the 'news.'
I am not advocating ignoring things or disregarding those crimes, but just pointing out that plenty are the crimes ( especially in your own neighborhood / region of the world ) and many of those are never brought to your attention.
The real evil people are actually closer than you think... one doesn't have to go to Africa to find those who allow the raping and murdering of people..... have you heard any war campaign stories from the benevolent U.S. military action in the last decade? Just because you haven't doesn't mean they have not happened ( and they have ).
The idea of Manifest Destiny has been well taught in our public schools ( which btw is one of the planks in the communist manifesto, the corralling of the minds of the masses and teaching them a one-sided narrative, this is why ethnic and cultural studies are always under attack by the 'conservatives' or from the 'right' ). This idea has been programmed onto the citizenry of Amerika for generations.. but who how many call tell?
The use of words and phrasing / framing like 'we need to do something' is a clear example of programming. Who really is 'we?' When soldiers go into combat, is it 'we' or those individual soldiers?
When players take to the field, is it 'we' or is it those players who are actually playing the game, winning or losing? Interesting how the tribal mindset is, huh?
"Oh, WE lost today."
Really? Isn't it your favorite team which lost? Notice how the narratives of life have already been written for you and programmed onto your subconscious where you automatically attach yourself to what you easily agree with ( but where is the critical thinking, the historical perspective, the 'bigger picture' )?
Edward Bernays comes to mind... he'd be someone to look and realize his contribution to our modern culture ( very powerful if you can see it ).
The bigger culprit is the Economic Slavery which not many understand, but feel everyday they have to 'work' in order to pay tribute to those who were here before you.... and you thought you lived in a 'free' kountry. It was free at one time ( not free like a free lunch, but free from paying tribute on a slave-wage ).
