<p>Breaking News:</p>
<p align="center">&ldquo;A New   Reformation&rdquo; to stop the Vatican&rsquo;s War of Terror on the Innocent will Commence   during &ldquo;Holy Week&rdquo;, Sunday, April 1:</p>
<p align="center">A Call to Action   by Occupy the Vatican<br />
                  
                </p>
<p align="center"><img alt="http://www.antitheists.co.uk/resources/occupy%20vatican.JPG.opt442x442o0,0s442x442.JPG" src="http://www.antitheists.co.uk/resources/occupy%20vatican.JPG.opt442x442o0%2c0s442x442.JPG" /></p>
<p>Rome:</p>
<p>Survivors of church terror and their   allies are taking direct action against the world&rsquo;s oldest and most ruthless   criminal, starting Palm Sunday, April 1.</p>
<p>Occupy the Vatican and survivor&rsquo;s   groups in eight countries will launch church occupations, teach-ins, protests,   and even &ldquo;public defrockings&rdquo; that day that will include the issuing of a New   Reformation Charter, containing a ten point program to abolish the power of the   Vatican as a criminal body.</p>
<p>The April 1 campaign will include   actions by a new group within the churches called <strong>Not in Our Name</strong>,   comprising Catholic and Protestant clergy who support the legal disestablishment   of criminal church corporations like the Vatican and the Church of England, and   a return to an egalitarian, congregational system of Christianity devoid of the   genocidal legacy of Christendom.</p>
<p>Joining this Occupy movement will be   traditional indigenous elders in Canada from the Mohawk, Squamish and Ojibway   nations who survived Catholic and Protestant &ldquo;Indian residential schools&rdquo;, and   who will be issuing new banishment orders to evict these churches from their   lands.                </p>
<p>In Ireland, plans are afoot to   conduct &ldquo;public defrockings&rdquo; of known child raping priests who the authorities   refuse to prosecute.                </p>
<p>&ldquo;We won&rsquo;t let these bastards pose as   men of God anymore, or practice in our communities. We&rsquo;ll toss them out of the   churches on their ass&rdquo; described Colm O&rsquo;Brien of Wexford, a member of Occupy the   Vatican Ireland.</p>
<p>In Rome, Occupy supporters plan to   create a human &ldquo;exorcism&rdquo; chain around the Vatican on Easter Sunday, April 8, to   &ldquo;expel the spirit of lies and violence&rdquo; from the church.                </p>
<p>Besides these direct actions, Occupy   the Vatican is working with members and officials of the European Parliament and   other nations to repeal the so-called &ldquo;financial concordats&rdquo; between the Vatican   and governments, and to bring the operations of the Vatican Bank under public   control and scrutiny.</p>
<p>&ldquo;The important thing is to take   action to dismantle the church from the ground up, and place it under public   control. That&rsquo;s the only way future generations of our children will be safe   from a church that&rsquo;s a law unto itself and feeds and profits off the suffering   of the innocent&rdquo; declared Caoimhin Ui Niall of Occupy the Vatican.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Let everyone do something on April 1   and April 8 to end the reign of terror of this false church.&rdquo;</p>

<h3>Re: Ugandan government human rights record</h3>
<p>We do not defend any of the human rights abuses perpetrated by the Ugandan government or the Ugandan army (UPDF). None of the money donated through Invisible Children ever goes to the government of Uganda or any other government. Yet the only feasible and proper way to stop Kony and protect the civilians he targets is to coordinate efforts with regional governments.</p>

<h3>RE: OVERSIMPLIFICATION OF A COMPLEX ISSUE</h3>
<p>KONY 2012 portrays, in no uncertain terms, the image of a madman who manipulates children spiritually for his own tactical gains. In our quest to garner wide public support of nuanced policy, Invisible Children has sought to explain the conflict in an easily understandable format, focusing on the core attributes of LRA leadership that infringe upon the most basic of human rights. In a 30-minute film, however, many nuances of the 26-year conflict are admittedly lost or overlooked. The film is a first entry point to this conflict for many, and the organization provides several ways for our supporters to go deeper in learning about <a href="http://vimeo.com/28628155" rel="nofollow">the make-up of the LRA</a> and <a href="http://s3.amazonaws.com/www.invisiblechildren.com/history.html" rel="nofollow">the history of the conflict</a>. Likewise, our work on the ground continually adapts to the changing complexities of the conflict.</p>

<h3>RE: PERPETUATING THE ‘WHITE MAN&#8217;S BURDEN&#8217; AND THE SAVIOR COMPLEX</h3>
<p>Invisible Children&#8217;s programs in Uganda, DR Congo, and Central African Republic are implemented with continuous input from, and in respect of the knowledge and experience of, local communities and their leaders. In Uganda, we learned very quickly that a top-down, Western approach was not the answer, and that local solutions were needed to fill critical humanitarian gaps. It is for this reason that over 95% of IC&#8217;s leadership and staff on the ground are Ugandans on the forefront of program design and implementation.</p>

<h2 style="margin-top: 20px;">Re: On a personal note.</h2>
<p>We&#8217;ve done our utmost to be as inclusive, transparent, and factual as possible. We built this organization with &#8220;seeing is believing&#8221; in mind, and that&#8217;s what why we are a media-based organization. We WANT you to see everything we are doing, because we are proud of it. Though we would no longer consider ourselves naive, we have always sought counsel from those who know much more. We have never claimed a desire to &#8220;save Africa,&#8221; but, instead, an intent to inspire Western youth to &#8220;do more than just watch.&#8221; And in Central Africa, focus on locally-led long-term development programs that enable children to take responsibility for their own futures and the futures of their countries. Our programs are carefully researched and developed initiatives by incredible members of the local community that address the need for quality education, mentorship, the redevelopment of schools, resettlement from IDP camps, and rehabilitation from war.</p>

<ul class="diigo-annotations">
<li>
<div class="diigoContent">
<div class="diigoContentInner">1. The film doesn&#8217;t tell the whole story of the LRA or Kony.</div>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<div class="diigoContent">
<div class="diigoContentInner">let&#8217;s get two things straight: 1) Joseph Kony is not in Uganda and hasn&#8217;t been for 6 years; 2) the LRA now numbers at most in the hundreds, and while it is still causing immense suffering, it is unclear how millions of well-meaning but misinformed people are going to help deal with the more complicated reality.</div>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<div class="diigoContent">
<div class="diigoContentInner">2. It&#8217;s condescending and imperialistic.</div>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<div class="diigoContent">
<div class="diigoContentInner">If “awareness” is the payoff for paternalistic, imperialist, “white man’s burden” NGO campaigns, I don’t want it. (Just the name “Invisible Children” denies and co-opts the agency of Ugandans- many of whom have organized to protect child soldiers…)</div>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<div class="diigoContent">
<div class="diigoContentInner"> 3. Invisible Children&#8217;s finances are sorta sketchy.</div>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<div class="diigoContent">
<div class="diigoContentInner"><a href="http://www.vice.com/read/should-i-donate-money-to-kony-2012-or-not" rel="nofollow">Alex Miller at VICE</a> notes that Invisible Children&#8217;s three leaders took home nearly $90,000 each in compensation last year (whether or not that&#8217;s &#8220;too much&#8221; is a matter of debate)</div>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<div class="diigoContent">
<div class="diigoContentInner">This morning Invisible Children posted a response to many of these criticisms, which you can <a href="http://s3.amazonaws.com/www.invisiblechildren.com/critiques.html" rel="nofollow">read in its entirety here</a>. Perhaps it will put your mind at ease about the group&#8217;s financials and/or other issues with the film. But it&#8217;s still worth coming at the campaign with a critical eye, even if it does make millions of Americans aware of Kony&#8217;s wrongdoing.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family: Arial;">Forgotten Islands Now Reached &#8211; Gospel for Asia</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial;">Life on the forgotten islands of South Asia is very secluded. They lack basic luxuries such as running water and toothbrushes. Not to mention that their only source of water is often from stagnant ponds where they bathe, wash dishes, and fish. To them, life may seem hopeless.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: Arial;">God has not forgotten them</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial;">God has called 18 national missionaries to minister to these forgotten islands. Travelling by boat, these brothers bring a message of light into the deep darkness of these hidden waterways. As they build personal relationships with the villagers, God lowers the social barriers that usually exist between outsiders and the islanders.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial;">Cultivating bonds with the people on the islands opens up many doors for sharing the Gospel. So far, 20 Bridge of Hope centers have been established, and Jesus Wells have been provided to help with the general health of the islands.<br />
There is still a lot to do</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial;">After witnessing the true love and dedication of these missionaries, these forgotten people want to learn more about the Lord. Because of this, more than 66 Christian fellowships started on over 44 of the forgotten islands. Everywhere these missionaries go, people learn of a personal relationship with Jesus—even their boat drivers!</span></p>
<p>There is still a lot of work to be done. With your help, we can continue to reach into places like these forgotten islands with the love of Christ. Partner with a national missionary, and watch how God moves mightily in both Asia, and your own life.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="the_body">
<p>I scribbled the instructions in my notepad as fast as the strange man with the faint twang could give them: <em>Ride the DC Metro red line out to the final stop. Walk to the commuter lot. Wait there. Look for a black Cadillac.</em></p>
<p id="paragraph3">It was my first encounter with a real-life whistleblower, a man I’ll call Roger. He had read my <a href="http://e2ma.net/go/7477999744/208849510/232305232/25612/b64/aHR0cDovL21vdGhlcmpvbmVzLmNvbS9tb2pvLzIwMDkvMDYvbmV4dC13YXZlLW1vcnRnYWdlLXByb2ZpdGVlcmluZw=="><em>Mother Jones</em></a> <a href="http://e2ma.net/go/7477999744/208849510/232305233/25612/b64/aHR0cDovL21vdGhlcmpvbmVzLmNvbS9wb2xpdGljcy8yMDA5LzA4L2ZvcmVjbG9zdXJlLXJlc2N1ZS1taXJhZ2U=">reporting</a> in 2009 on the <a href="http://e2ma.net/go/7477999744/208849510/232305234/25612/b64/aHR0cDovL21vdGhlcmpvbmVzLmNvbS9wb2xpdGljcy8yMDA5LzExL2hvdXNpbmctbWVsdGRvd24tZ3JvdW5kLXplcm8=">subprime mortgage crisis</a> &#8211; so he told me in an early email exchange &#8212; and wanted to discuss some documents that had come into his possession. &#8220;This is a huge story, Andrew, and you&#8217;re gonna blow it open.&#8221; He always called me Andrew. (My parents don&#8217;t call me Andrew.)</p>
<p id="paragraph4">Half a dozen emails and phone calls later, I was sitting shotgun in Roger&#8217;s car as we zipped through leafy suburban Maryland, and later holed up in his apartment. It was unnervingly clean, like the model unit that no one lives in. Instead of the usual socks and pants and shirts, his dressers overflowed with papers and cassette tapes. I spent hours riffling through those papers while picking at fried chicken and guzzling bottles of iced tea. Roger never ran out of iced tea.</p>
<p id="paragraph5">He could be difficult and exhausting. He called at odd times and talked for hours. He described conspiracies against him, the mounting legal bills he&#8217;d incurred for taking on The Man.
