The return of KONY.

In the near future (the next couple of months) we will see the resurgence in the capture Kony movement. Does anyone in government or business actually care about KONY? No, there is obviously something else in that region that America wants. Obama just sent an additional 150 special forces to the region to "hunt Kony." We all know that the CIA and NSA can track any person anywhere on the planet makes it very hard for me to believe that they can't find a guy who has been on the run in the jungle for over a decade is a farce. The dude is likely dead and no one will say it because there are things we want in that jungle.

What do you think?

  1. No fucking way can the government find anyone anywhere. Especially in fucking Africa.

  2. Why do we give a shit? There are a bunch of African warlords using child soldiers. There's a bunch of fucked up shit happening all over the world every day. How does the U.S. pick where to intervene?

I like how everyone cared about this one guy because someone made a video for like 2 weeks and then suddenly stopped caring. Like, get your shit together, people. Have some fucking conviction. At least I have conviction in not giving a shit about stuff completely out of my control that doesn't impact me. Maybe when I'm old and rich I'll care.

No, the US government can't just press a button and find someone, especially in the middle of a jungle when he has 1,000 soldiers with him.

And the other thing they want/care about is the PR from catching the shitbag.

I disagree with you guys, I think we can eventually find him, but like anything, it takes time, and the US Gov't is like the Chicago Cubs and finds ways to dork it up.

Why do we care? I dunno, kinda makes me sad even if I don't want us sending a division of Marines to Africa. Or Crimea. Or ...

I think a fucking plane was recently lost, I don't think governments are as competent as is generally thought.

I used to like to eat mushrooms and stay up all night watching the news, marveling at the world we live in.

There was a lot more will to capture Bin Laden. Note that he also killed 3000 of the world's financial elite and caused a massive market disruption. This would have pissed off everyone from the Rothschilds to the Rockefellers, to various billionaires, to the space aliens. It still took ten years. I'm not sure the African jungle is all that much easier to search than the mountains of Pakistan.

Look, every time I hear some new zany conspiracy theory, I wonder if this country is doing enough to provide treatment for people with paranoid schizophrenia. 30 years ago, people would not be running around claiming that Obama was born in Kenya, that there was some big gay socialist conspiracy to destroy America, or that Bush blew up the WTC. Those people would all be receiving the medication and treatment they needed.
