As others have already posted YouTube videos about:

I applaud the notion of people working together to solve a problem though and hopefully some of those brainwashed youngsters will learn from this experience in one way or another, either by being fooled by it or seeing through it, either works in the big picture, what matters is that they're researching an actual subject, the problem is if all the material they use is solely provided by for example their education. They need to go online (or to the library) and research actual databases, not trust what is handed to them as fact.

Either way, any sort of campaign where you need to pay for the 'information package' (or pay to be a part of it) is obviously a sham.


The Truth

The real truth behind Uganda is basically stealing land (and most probably also Oil and other resources) by forcing farmers and regular people out based on some sort of new international program, whatever they can come up with of complete fabrication, look at the UN sanctioned "Clean Air" program which is one of the more known incidents due to a few news-papers picking up on it, and remember, NEWS PAPERS, not mainstream media. That said the UN does sanction some programs such as UNESCO which truly do good, having UN support or affiliation does not necessarily mean 'bad' - in fact several UN branches are "at war" with each other due to the use of misinformation and corruption within.

The Telegraph - Killing Ugandans to save the planet
Quote
KICUCULA, Uganda — According to the company’s proposal to join a United Nations clean-air program, the settlers living in this area left in a “peaceful” and “voluntary” manner.

People here remember it quite differently.

“I heard people being beaten, so I ran outside,” said Emmanuel Cyicyima, 33. “The houses were being burnt down.”

Other villagers described gun-toting soldiers and an 8-year-old child burning to death when his home was set ablaze by security officers.

“They said if we hesitated they would shoot us,” said William Bakeshisha, adding that he hid in his coffee plantation, watching his house burn down. “Smoke and fire.”

According to a report released by the aid group Oxfam on Wednesday, more than 20,000 people say they were evicted from their homes here in recent years to make way for a tree plantation run by a British forestry company, emblematic of a global scramble for arable land.


New York Times - In Scramble for Land, Group Says, Company Pushed Ugandans Out
Quote
A Ugandan government spokesman said residents in Namwasa were illegal encroachers, but he acknowledged and deplored the use of violence to remove them, saying it was done by corrupt politicians and police officers operating outside the law.

Tensions brewed. The company and government said the residents were living illegally in a forest. Residents said they had rights. Community members took the company to court in 2009 and a temporary injunction was issued, barring evictions. Nevertheless, Oxfam and residents say, evictions continued.

Residents were given until Feb. 28, 2010, to vacate company premises while soldiers and the police kept surveillance. Company officials visited, too. From time to time a house would be burnt down, villagers said. Then came Feb. 28, a Sunday.

“We were in church,” recalled Jean-Marie Tushabe, 26, a father of two. “I heard bullets being shot into the air.”

“Cars were coming with police,” Mr. Tushabe said, sitting among the ruins of his old home. “They headed straight to the houses. They took our plates, cups, mattresses, bed, pillows. Then we saw them getting a matchbox out of their pockets.”

Homeless and hopeless, Mr. Tushabe said he took a job with the company that pushed him out. He was promised more than $100 each month, he said, but received only about $30


Huffingtonpost - U.S. Universities, Investors Accused Of 'Land Grabs' In Africa (good compilation of all news regarding the subject)
Quote
Obang Metho, a member of the Solidarity Movement for New Ethiopia, said these deals look more like business models than philanthropy, reports CBS:

    "No one should believe that these investors are there to feed starving Africans, create jobs or improve food security. These land grab agreements -- many of which could be in place for 99 years -- do not mean progress for local people and will not lead to food in their stomachs. These deals lead only to dollars in the pockets of corrupt leaders and foreign investors."


It is amazing what brain-washing can achieve nowadays, with things like this KONY movement, if it wasn't for all the resistance I would seriously lose any hope of humanity ever getting its act together. All of these facts above, including about the KONY movement can even be found online, there are actual Ugandans speaking out about the KONY scam and actively protesting it, not to mention all these other atrocities committed.

I dread what the history books will write about our generations in the future, it surely won't be forgiving, and rightfully so.


Regarding UNESCO
, which as I mentioned earlier are one of the best -- if not THE best UN sanctioned program, at least on par with Peace One Day -- The United States have cut ALL their ties and funding to UNESCO, even though by doing this they are actively hurting their own interests, yes crazy right? The US actually have had a law in place since 1990 which states that any organization in the World that supports Palestine is to be shunned, e.g. no support at all in any regards.

Quote from: Raw Story
In a special two-part segment on Thursday night’s The Daily Show, correspondent John Oliver took an in-depth look at the U.S. government’s decision to block funding to the relief group UNESCO.

First, Oliver meets with former Congressman Robert Wexler (D-FL), who informs him that under 1990′s Public Law 103-236, the United States is forbidden to provide funding to any agencies who deal with Palestine directly. As a result, a UNESCO spokesperson says, programs like fresh water for 950,000 people, literacy programs for the Afghan police force, and programs to strengthen the Iraqi judiciary are all going to have to be scrapped.

Watch the two-part segments here or watch the full Daily Show program at the official website. I highly recommend to watch the two segments.
