Adding to the disturbing nature of Invisible Childrens war mongering Kony 2012 campaign is the news that the organizations co-founder Jacob Russell, who also "starred" & directed the viral Kony 2012 video, was recently arrested for public drunkenness and public masturbation after "screaming, yelling and interfering with traffic while in various states of undress." . At a press confernece Invisible Children CEO Ben Keesey that Russell was subsequently hospitalized for exhaustion dehydration and malnutrition and that " The past two weeks have taken a severe emotional toll on all of us, Jason especially, and that toll manifested itself in an unfortunate incident yesterday.". As I read the report and saw the subsequent TMZ Video I felt like I was watching the latest Charlie Sheen meltdown not one of a supposedly respectable charity co-founder. This meltdown though, perhaps more than any thing reinforces the point of earlier post. That Invisible Children is not run by the competent level headed individuals like most respectable none profits , like say UNICEF, rather a radical, idealistic and mentally unstable group of individuals who are more interested in selling kits and making youtube hits than actually contributing to the sollution.

Two Red Flags for Invisible Children and Kony 2012
I know by now everyone and their grandmother have seen Invisible Children's Kony 2012 video and in case you still have not figured it out there are significant distortions of information in the video. First of all Kony and the LRA has not been in Uganda since 2006 and is suspected to be hiding in the Democratic Republic of Congo where they will occasionally attack a village. Secondly it is important to realise that the money raised by the Invisible Children will go to the Ugandan Military which cannot go after Kony in other countries, this is what we call an act of War, additionally the Ugandan Military is known to have committed numerous atrocities against civilians, not the kind of organization you want to be sending millions of dollars to. These reasons alone make the whole premise of the Kony 2012 movement Illogical as it supports sending money to a military force infamous for human rights violations in a futile effort to catch a criminal that is not even within there borders .
