From Jamie's link. This should stop Kony in his tracks:
Maybe this guy really does mean well, but he's doing nothing different than I've seen done by many individuals who have led sheltered, easy lives, who live in nice houses and make good money. He's picking some random cause de jour for "the betterment of mankind" to make himself feel better about his easy life (and possibly in this case profiting, as his film has been purchased by some major producer).
How many Kony clones are flying under the radar in various African countries because they're at the "Governor" level versus the "President" level?
There are many of those clones.
One, whom I cannot remember, has a son with a $30M home in CA.
The remainder of the country is in pathetic poverty.
Any condemnation from the administration for this? Hell no.
Politicians knowingly cuddle up to bad money until the publicity becomes negative. Whores!
ETA - That would be

And here is the political bullshiite reason:
Some critics have argued that the U.S. government has been slow to move because American energy firms, led by ExxonMobil, have billions of dollars invested in Equatorial Guinea and most of its oil is exported to the United States. Never mind that his father, Teodoro Obiang, who seized power in a 1979 coup, runs a regime as brutal as it is corrupt.
