come across something known as coney twenty twelve and this is like an online

campaign to basically raise awareness

of these despicable guy africa by the name of joseph connie now he is the

leader out something known as the lord's resistance army and the reason why he's

despicable is because he is uh... responsible for the grisly killings

tens of thousands of children prematurely kids so they are will have

people who will support them unquestioning lee and it's a tactic that

fistful you know it's only display the people throughout this reviews

uh... to to be able to

to have these soldiers that though

state in that don't question and answer leave brainwashed obviously it's is

despicable incidents now work

what this and

organization known as invisible children is doing is they're trying to raise

awareness about the situation and they've been doing so for nearly ten

years now and what they just recently did in the last day is released this

thirty minute video that explains who joseph connie ayers and what he's doing

exactly now we have a snippet of the video for you guys right now i want you

guys to watch to get a better understanding

of what joseph cody is doing in africa let's watch

because the truth is

colony of ducks kids just like gavin

for twenty six years connie has been kidnapping children interns rebel group

that our ad

turning the girls in the sex slaves

and the poison the child soldiers

he makes them usually people's faces

any forces them to kill their own parent

and this is not just a few children

it's been over thirty thousand of them

was one of those children

as if connie's crimes aren't bad enough

he is not fighting for any cards but only to maintain his power

he is not supported by anyone

and his repeated the use peace talks to rearm

again and again

different times to boot piece in the end

stern's that

this is the head prosecutor for the international criminal court

in two thousand two when the court was started their job was to find and

demanding the rest of the world's worst criminals

although there are a lot of warlords murderers and dictators in the world

the perversity of connie's crimes made him first on the court's list

on this earth died

maggie williams

by the trend is that you had the sections in one thing were crimes

committed against people

from is six oh three b_

rates

protections

to plan hamptons connie

stockman

fantasies

the only way to the police junkie

with the rest

all right so that's a snippet of what's going on you get an idea of who joseph

cohen e_a_s_

uh... and what's incredible about this campaign is the number of people who are

already talking about it right this group invisible children is stunningly

successful yes annie i help or at least you know is asian this successful www

social media

or influencing account for

in a way like this it appears to be

like he did not only did is the scoop this cleanup backed up by anybody does

new really no i mean i'm sure he died as a religious cloak around him but it's

not as a setter

but at the same time no one is the selling motivated to be a guest of for

political reasons either

that's why you have to give invisible children credit

for saying hey you know what were motivated just by the fact of how venus

this guy is yet since topping yes absolutely hamlet

i think that the most powerful thing that this organization is doing right

now is educating people now aside from educating people date have uh... you

know another strategy two

find colony and bring him to justice and this is a part of the video where they

talk about that strategy let's watch

we are going to make josef conte

not to celebrate him

but to bring his crimes to the lines

and we're starting this year

twenty twelve

you're targeting twenty culture makers twelve policymakers

to use their power for good so they want to make a household name babe why do so

at their social media and so far they've been very successful

however regardless of how successful they've been they've received a

tremendous amount of criticism and i think it's important to bring that to

you guys as well singer fully informed

that way you can make a decision as to whether or not you want to support this

organization

so the first criticism is how they use their funding and i want to give you

guys the exact numbers

uh... if you look at at the amount of money they received in donations it was

a total of eight point nine million dollars spent in twenty eleven one point

seven million went to their u_s_ employees to their salaries three

hundred fifty seven thousand out went to film costs now keep in mind that the

educated both their films eight hundred fifty thousand went to production costs

seven hundred fifty one thousand went to compete computer equipment

of course all of this uh... money is being used

for the films for the production and i understand it that's very expensive also

two hundred forty four thousand went to professional services

uh... and

that could include d_c_ lobbyists

uh... one point seven million went to travel expenses they travel to and from

africa and four hundred thousand yearly as spending went to office rent they're

renting in downtown san diego

now this is all public information it's available to all of its that were done

on the organization

on the two point eight million which is only thirty one percent of the donations

uh... went to their actual charity program there's a couple things here in

that regard one it is that uh... whenever you look at any organization is

doing a kind of charity non-profit center

people was like oh my god i can't believe that it costs money to run your

offspring but it that's you know you have to hire people inside

now is very clear that house

what the senate of the

you know money collected ghosts of actual charity saw without thirty one

percent is a low number i'm keeping it real

here better send the one the main missions they have

is public awareness so it's not fair to discount of thirty one percent here

and say that that's the only way they spend immaturity no no

is spending money for awareness

and that's why they have the employee cost of production cost the filming cost

et cetera and like i said they've been stunningly successful in raising

awareness and in uh... silly in the president's attention

as your about to tell us

so now if you do dive into the details and is salaries are outrageously high

which is not the says we have now

that would be a different story absolutely absolutely

and you know out when it comes to what they have achieved so far

they have up basically

but please huge role in getting it

president no bother to send one hundred members of our own military to africa in

search of connie to bring in to justice

that's one of these but with this group

i've been following politics in news from you know my whole life

and i cant emma recollect the president say hey you know what

here's a hundred guys google get back tag go arrest them killed whatever it is

that doesn't hit you with

and allies our fight against terrorism oil

police such as alba block state and never heard of it but that's why this is

so incredible change because

e understand its the u_s_ usually doesn't intervene unless they're

self-interests up late right

there are some pictures here right and and i'd know that that's a very realist

perspective but it's the truth right that's how it works in the

international's sphere

if a country doesn't see that their resources are something to take

advantage of didn't really give a shit about democracy i don't buy any of that

now uh... their disagreements about that but that's my take on it

ob but look even though they've been successful in public awareness and even

the old days finally got a white house to do something about it and

by the way when they first went to politicians about the situation

alike about ten years ago when they first did their very first film

politicians basically britain brushed aside to the rockets at yahoo probably

not going to anything about this antalya i'm shocked that they're doing something

about you know kinda and i think it could be committed

the solution to come see if you have about whether

uh... it's a good idea or not because

you know people who are libertarians and also some liberals said it would say you

know what

you have is random hundred-person

you know you call it a slob to arrest them you can call it a hit squad

s_n_e_t_'s the middle of sovereign countries ago

have added cost now of course the government of uganda is okay with it yet

so i knew that obviously is a huge difference maker here

it could develop into something badly they could great great rail that's why

you guys have to be fully informed on the situation right because i think a

lot of people are just blindly supporting without really delving into
