HOW "HANOI" JANE FONDA GOT HER NAME

A FIGURE SOME WISH TO HONOR

TO MANY OTHERS, A TRAITOR THEY CANNOT FORGET

KEEP THIS MOVING ACROSS AMERICA.

This is for all the kids born in the 70's and after who do not remember and didn't have to bear the burden that our fathers, mothers and older brothers and sisters had to bear. In 1972, Jane Fonda was a part of the HOLLYWOOD ROYALTY that just a few years before could have made her a target for another infamous figure (Charles Manson). She shocked America, in 1972 (during the midst of the bloody Vietnam War) when she traveled to North Vietnam and reportedly consorted with the North Vietnamese Army even while visiting U.S. military being held as PRISONER OF WAR. This was a year when many Americans were still in harm's way and a year 759 paid the ultimate price.

The event was so stunning, it probably shocked many who would have otherwise been more sympathic. The net result was a stagma that haunts Fonda even to this day. Many (even to this day) cannot forget her and call her "Hanoi" Jane. While the promoters of the AMERICA LAST crowd have grown up to run much of the entertainment industry and hold political office, those promaters no doubt long to re-establish Fonda. So much that, HOLLYWOOD from time to time, still attempt to reinvigorate Fonda and her image...will trot her out to test the waters to see whether "all is now forgiven and forgotten."

At the same time, causing a chain reaction which ends with an entire generation being exposed to the depths of Fonda's actions AND the ramifications of radicalized "Hate America Movement" that exists in America even today.

HERE IS A PARTIAL TIMELINE:

1972 - Fonda travels to N. Vietnam.

1973 - Marries Tom Hayden who also "visited" N. Vietnam.

1980s - Fonda tries to resume her acting career.

1980s - Fonda begins a fitness video campaign.

1991 - Resurfaces during the Operation Desert Storm

1999 - Fonda is honored as one of the "100 Women of the Century."

2016 - Following the election of Donald Trump, so reappeared Jane Fonda.

The truth is, Fonda has some very powerful entities behind her that seeks to (reset) her image and present her to a brand new generation of Americans who are unaware of her actions, especially in 1972. So it is up to all of us to present this rebuttal her Fonda being worthy of any honor or praise BUT RATHER that Fonda should be indeed thankful she was given the chance to resume a decadent life and lifestyle in the same country she once (seemingly) helped to bring down.

Barbara Walters writes:

Unfortunately, many have forgotten and still countless others have never known how Ms. Fonda betrayed not only the idea of our country, but specific men who served and sacrificed during the Vietnam War.

Barbara Walters said :

Thank you all. Many died in Vietnam for our freedoms. I did not like Jane Fonda then and I don't like her now. She can lead her present life the way she wants and perhaps SHE can forget the past, but we DO NOT have to stand by without comment and see her "honored" as a "Woman of the Century."

The first part of this is from an F-4E pilot. The pilot's name is Jerry Driscoll, a River Rat. In 1968, the former Commandant of the USAF Survival School was a POW in Ho LoPrison, the "Hanoi Hilton."

Dragged from a stinking cesspit of a cell, cleaned, fed, and dressed in clean PJ's, he was ordered to describe for a visiting American "peace activist" the "lenient and humane treatment" he'd received.

He spat at Ms. Fonda, was clubbed, and was dragged away. During the subsequent beating, he fell forward onto the camp commandant 's feet, which sent that officer berserk.

In 1978, the Air Force Colonel still suffered from double vision (which permanently ended his flying career) from the Commandant's frenzied application of a wooden baton.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

From 1963-65, Col. Larry Carrigan was in the 47FW/DO (F-4E's). He spent 6 years in the "Hanoi Hilton". . . The first three of which his family only knew he was "missing in action." His wife lived on faith that he was still alive. His group, too, got the cleaned-up, fed and clothed routine in preparation for a "peace delegation" visit.

They, however, had time and devised a plan to get word to the world that they were alive and still survived. Each man secreted a tiny piece of paper, with his Social Security Number on it, in the palm of his hand. When paraded before Ms. Fonda and a cameraman, she walked the line, shaking each man's hand and asking little encouraging snippets like: "Aren't you sorry you bombed babies?" and "Are you grateful for the humane treatment from your benevolent captors?" Believing this HAD to be an act, they each palmed her their sliver of paper.

She took them all without missing a beat. . . At the end of the line and once the camera stopped rolling, to the shocked disbelief of the POWs, she turned to the officer in charge and handed him all the little pieces of paper...

Three men died from the subsequent beatings. Colonel Carrigan was almost number four but he survived, which is the only reason we know of her actions that day.

I was a civilian economic development adviser in Vietnam, and was captured by the North Vietnamese communists in South Vietnam in 1968, and held prisoner for over 5 years.

I spent 27 months in solitary confinement; one year in a cage in Cambodia; and one year in a 'black box' in Hanoi. My North Vietnamese captors deliberately poisoned and murdered a female missionary, a nurse in a leprosarium in Banme Thuot, South Vietnam, whom I buried in the jungle near the Cambodian border. At one time, I weighed only about 90 lbs. (My normal weight is 170 lbs.)

We were Jane Fonda's "war criminals."

When Jane Fonda was in Hanoi, I was asked by the camp communist political officer if I would be willing to meet with her. I said yes, for I wanted to tell her about the real treatment we POWs received. . . and how different it was from the treatment purported by the North Vietnamese, and parroted by her as "humane and lenient."

Because of this, I spent three days on a rocky floor on my knees, with my arms outstretched with a large steel weight placed on my hands, and beaten with a bamboo cane.

I had the opportunity to meet with Jane Fonda soon after I was released. I asked her if she would be willing to debate me on TV. She never did answer me.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

These first-hand experiences do not exemplify someone who should be honored as part of "100 Years of Great Women." Lest we forget. . . "100 Years of Great Women" should never include a traitor whose hands are covered with the blood of so many patriots.

There are few things I have strong visceral reactions to, but Hanoi Jane's participation in blatant treason, is one of them. Please take the time to forward to as many people as you possibly can. It will eventually end up on her computer, and she needs to know that we will never forget.
