KONY 2012

Horseleech said:Frank said:cursed by a powerful witch doctor.




One of my first thoughts was that a Kony cronie had drugged him, but this is a far more interesting explanation.




Of course I laughed at this when I read it as I think this sort of Voodoo shit is a joke.





I asked a young guy from the Ivory Coast that works for me who is the nephew of Laurent Gbagbo if he believed in the power of a Witch Doctor.





This is a highly educated guy with 2 degrees and working on his third......he looked me square in the eye and said "It's real".





I still don't believe, but then again I don't believe in a supreme being either but am willing to be proved wrong on both/either count.

I was only half joking with my "theory". Could be that it's how his family says and dude was just dehydrated and exhausted and needed a glass of water and a good nap but his behavior how it was described by eye witnesses and, what can be seen on the video clip... naked or in briefs, pounding onto the pavement and on the roof of cars, yelling and screaming in jibberish but being non-aggressive when approached, the resemblance to those "cursed maniancs" I've seen over there is eerie. To any outsiders, those cases are probably just untreated mental illness and maybe they are right. To me personally, there's really no question that this stuff is real. There's a lot of bogus shit out there that's just scams, smoke & mirrors and hokus-pokus and that's what most people ever get exposed to but there most definitely also is the "real thing". Did you show the TMZ video to your Ivorian employee? Ask him where he would go to do this to somebody and he most likely will mention the area around N'Zerekoure just North of Ivory Coast in the forest region of East Guinea.

He didn't say where but he did say that it had to be someone who knew the victim that went to the Witch Doctor to request the spell.

Yes.^^^





And I'm now convinced of the Witch Doctor theory.





Dehydration? Exhaustion? It's been days now, haven't they given the dude a drink of water and a good night's sleep?





I think he's got the hex, and the irony is that they'll probably have to give KONY a million or so to get it lifted.
 
I spent a lot of time in Africa with Peace Corps kids. I was in Uganda, too.





The Peace Corps kids fell squarely into two camps: those who "got it" (usually 1-2 yr vets) and those who actually thought they were helping (usually newbies or hopeless cases).





But even the Peace Corps kids harbored a special disdain for the shiny white Land Rover people, the ones who were actually kinda PAID off this isht.
 
I thought this would sizzle quickly, but am surprised by the rate at which KONY 2012 is losing face.

Seems like the witchdoctor theory has started to catch on:

'Kony 2012' Exec Joked About Keeping $900k Donation for Himself





One of the heads of Jason Russell's Invisible Children organization made a video after the charity won a $1 million grant ... in which he appears to be drunk and joking about keeping $900,000 for himself.





TMZ has obtained the clip ... featuring Jedidiah Jenkins, the Director of Ideology for the charity dedicated to hunting down African warlord Joseph Kony.





The footage appears to be shot in 2010 ... right after Invisible Children won the $1 million grand prize in the Chase Community Giving Facebook competition.





In the video, Jenkins is holding a handle of Smirnoff vodka ... and slurs to the camera, "I don't know if you heard this or not ... but we won a ... we won a million dollars so ... pretty rad."





After chugging from the bottle, Jenkins continues ... "a hundred thousand for Haiti and $900,000 in extra for me."





As for the Haiti reference ... the contest was held one week after the earthquake in Haiti and Invisible Children had promised to give $100k to Haitian relief efforts if they won the prize. We have no idea how the remaining $900,000 was spent.





A source connected to Invisible Children says the video is a joke that Jedidiah recorded and posted on a private YouTube page right after the group won the prize. We're told the bottle was filled with water, not vodka.
