Does Anyone Remember Hanoi Jane

A GENUINE AMERICAN TRAITOR! 

This cannot go around too much. Those of us that were living in those years will never forget that she was a traitor and did a lot of damage to our boys. 

She has now been chosen to play Nancy Reagan in her life story.

I am sending this one out because so many do not know this truth...

and also because she was on 3 times this week talking about her new book...

And how good she feels in her 70's... she still does not know what she did wrong..her book just may not make the best list if more people knew...

also...

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".

(I remember this well)

For those who served and/or died. . .

NEVER FORGIVE A TRAITOR. SHE REALLY WAS A TRAITOR!!

and now President OBAMA wants to honor her......!!!!

In Memory of LT. C.Thomsen Wieland who spent 100 days at the Hanoi Hilton [Famous North Vietnam Prison]

IF YOU NEVER FORWARDED ANYTHING IN YOUR LIFE FORWARD THIS SO THAT EVERYONE WILL KNOW!!!!!!

A TRAITOR IS ABOUT TO BE HONORED.

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.

Jane Fonda is being honored as one of the '100 Women of the Century.'

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.

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 USAFSurvival School was a POW in Ho Lo Prison 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 on to thecamp 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 advisor in Vietnam , and was captured by the North Vietnamese communists inSouth 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 inBanme 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.

TAKE BACK THE NIGHT -- PROVO

• Saturday, April 7, 2012
  
• 
  
  6:30pm until 9:30pm

Exchange Park, Provo UT, 700 N 900 W

• On April 7, 2012, we're making a stand against sexual violence in our community. Join us as we hold a march and candlelight vigil on the Provo River Trail. Our purpose is two-fold: to give a voice to survivors of sexual assault and to come together as a critical mass of people who are opposed to sexual violence. After the vigil, we'll hear from Dr. Niwako Yamawaki, an expert on gender violence, and Kelsey Hannon, a survivor of sexual assault, on how we can better support survivors of assault and make our community safer. Help us take back the night and take back the Provo River Trail

ENTITLEMENTS -- BALANCING THE BUDGET

The word entitlement is used to describe something that is yours, something you own, something you have a right to.

Isn't it odd that this word, entitlement, has come to mean "charity, welfare" something given to freeloaders. You know, social security freeloaders.

As I recall, and I do recall it correctly, I have been paying in to Social Security since I was 15 years old. Not only me, but my employer also paid in an equal amount. That totaled about 15% of my income, gross income, before taxes income. This was not just me, it was every earner, and it was not by choice.

So, let's see. If I averaged $30K over my working life, that's about $220,500 earnings. The fed collected about $4,500 each year to pay for my security in my old age. Well, they invested my $4,500 each year to pay for my security in my old age.

Now, about that investment. If they invested for me at 5%, after 49 years I should have an investment account worth $892,919.98.

If I took out only 3% per year, I would receive $26,787.60 per year and it would last better than 30 years (until you're 95 if you retire at age 65) and that's with no interest paid on that final amount on deposit!

If I bought an annuity and it paid 4% per year, I'd have a lifetime income of $2,976.40 per month.

The folks inWashington have pulled off a bigger Ponzi scheme than Bernie Madhoff ever dreamed of.

Entitlement, charity, welfare, handout, my foot. I paid cash for my social security insurance!!!! Just because they borrowed or stole the money, doesn't make my benefits some kind of charity or handout!!

Anybody Sick of the "Occupy Anything but a Job" Movement?

Oh Yeah, This Is Progress!

What's It Gonna Take To Get Happy?

STROKE --WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

During a party, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine and just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. (they offered to call ambulance) While she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening. Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00pm , Ingrid passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the party . Had anyone known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. Neurologist says that if a stroke victim can be diagnosed and to the doctor within 3 hours their prognosis is excellent. RECOGNIZING A STROKE Doctors say you can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions. S = SMILE. Ask the individual to smile.

T = TALK. Ask the person to speak a simple sentence. "It's a nice day today." R = Ask the person to RAISE both arms. If the person has any trouble performing any of these tasks, Call 911.
