The whole Kony 2012 thing had a very weird air about it. Is there any concrete proof that Joseph Kony actually exists?

thischildabductingwarlorddoesnotexist dot com

Apologies for starting the Kony derail, let me try to bring it back to our boy Jeff and the chaos of the current elite class. Hope it's not too disjointed.

I really wouldn't be surprised if Kony dovetailed with ol' Jeffrey's arms dealing friends, intelligence projects run amok, and child trafficking rings in general.

I would suspect that if there's a link, it would start with international opposition to Idi Amin, his ouster by the Uganda National Liberation Front in 1979, and the hotbed of rebellions and factional armies marching around Uganda in the 1980s. The UNLF joined Kony in 1987 after the National Liberation Army seized control in 1986. I honestly have very little knowledge of Uganda other than it seems very likely a place for intelligence to funnel money and see what happens (like the middle east and its boogeymen today).

However, it's possible that intelligence could have started running blackmail schemes among the various army leaders in exchange for arms should any of them become the new leader. Remember, this is in the era of Iran- Contra. Anything is possible. Whether Kony benefited from weird Reagan era policy, I don't know.

South Sudan is believed to be a place where Kony holes up. South Sudanese rebels had once been supported by Uganda, and so Sudan had supported Kony's LRA.

Sometimes-CIA contractor Erik Prince reportedly was trying to build a diesel refinery in South Sudan, but those plans collapsed by early 2014, this is about 2 years after Kony went viral. Prince had stated he has an interest in private militaries because of the Rwandan genocide, and has done other investment projects in this part of Africa with the Chinese. It could be a nothing burger, but it's so loving bizarre.

Interestingly, Invisible Children Inc., which once was a marketing project and made Kony2012, is now apparently in the business of intelligence gathering.

I thought it was pretty accepted at this point she is, minimally, very friendly with the "cowboy" wing of the CIA and probably doing some mockingbird-type poo poo, even if its just pro bono because she's a good american.



Cold war Africa is a fascinating place. You start lifting rocks in Uganda during these times and you start finding all sorts of weird things like North Korean commandos and "military advisors" scurrying away. Its certainly more complicated than the (very racist, obv) american zeitgeist of the region as being boring and full of savages doing savagery when in reality its a complicated interaction between foreign powers and indigenous people over things like resource extraction rights.

I don't dispute that the LRA are there and committing crimes against humanity, it's the hyperfocused attention to Joseph Kony combined with the fact that he's so elusive that make me wonder. I don't know if I can even put my finger on specifics, but maybe he is involved with intelligence agencies and arms trafficking like you suggested.

The Roman Catholic church has been running a massive worldwide pedophile ring for centuries, everybody knows about it, the most famous religious figure in the world protects it, and if you even mention it in a Catholic-dominated country, you risk getting beaten up by everybody from hardened street thugs to little old ladies. I'd make a thread on it but Catholic posters are probably the most weirdly defensive people on the board.

As another poster said, cold war Africa had DPRK generals running around. Being non-aligned never meant immunity from the east-west fight, and I'd suspect all the intelligence agencies have a long and weird history of arming whack jobs there.

To connect it to what you're saying, it seems like someone helped Kony the religious warlord become "Kony" the threat to freedom, ya know?

It's a convenient narrative that allows easy justification for intervention whenever it's wanted. Sure, Kony is bad for stability in the region, but I'm guessing "Kony" the boogeyman is somewhat manufactured for western audience consumption.

Look at how most people who are in Africa treat him like a joke and are always telling the west their assumptions about him are misguided.

He's a cultivated boogeyman for later use, similar to Bin Laden, Saddam, etc.
Step one. The pedophile run MIC sets up a nebulous bad guy on future exploitable land.
Step two. China or the Soviets invest, where you have your "American business interests" ready.
Step three. Once someone else has put the infrastructure in, let your bad guy attack, and rush in to seize the resources in a forever war.

The cabal of elites in the west then get to cry about saving the children over there so their abuses closer to home get deflected.

This is certainly true of countries like Zaire, who played both ends against the middle in the Cold War but still had the ultimate effect of accommodating colonial interests since their deck was stacked from the beginning by acts of foreign intelligence

If there's anything I've learned from this thread and the Trump thread, it's that having pre-inauguration/transition groups staffed by intelligence is the way Biden ensures his ascendancy meets no resistance.
