Invisible Children funds the SPLA in South Sudan and the U.S.-backed Ugandan dictatorship, both of which are guilty of war crimes, genocide, and mass rape. This campaign claims to want to bring war criminal Joseph Kony to justice, but ignores the similar atrocities committed by the Ugandan army and Sudan People\u2019s Liberation Army.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">America and China competed for the African oil state of Sudan a few years ago. Now there is the U.S. and Zionist puppet state of South Sudan with oil deals to the U.S. and Israel. During that time there was the &#8220;Save Darfur&#8221; campaign. Now China and the U.S. are competing for economic control of Uganda, including oil, and there is &#8220;Kony 2012.&#8221; Coincidence?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">The natural resources and massive economic potential to be made by multinationals in Africa and Uganda, 100 US troops deployed to Uganda months earlier and China buying up all of Africa, including much capital in Uganda, are enticing for Western imperialism.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">Invisible Children&#8217;s founders are profiting off of imperialism and funding death squads inside Africa.
