Jane Fonda Shows Rebellious Streak At 71 In T-Shirt Bearing Her 1970 Police Mugshot

Jane Fonda shows rebellious streak at 71 in T-shirt bearing her 1970 police mugshot

Nearly 40 years after she was falsely accused of drug smuggling, you'd think Jane Fonda might have moved on.

But it appears the veteran actress, 71, is still be holding a grudge against the Ohio policeman who arrested her several decades ago.

Dining out with a friend at celebrity eaterie Mr Chow in Hollywood, the former fitness queen wore a T-shirt bearing her infamous police mugshot.

Arresting style: Jane Fonda, picked up by customs officers in 1970 suspicious about vitamins she was carrying, at Mr Chow's in her unique T-shirt

The actress had just finished working on Klute - hence her distinctive haircut - when she was arrested at an airport in Cleveland on November 3, 1970.

The customs officers wrongly accused Fonda of drug smuggling after finding vitamins labelled b, l and d (breakfast, lunch and dinner) in her bag.

Known for her political activism, her arrest over something so innocent as vitamins was a sign of the paranoia of the time.

At the time, the actress was on her way back from speaking at an anti-Vietnam war fundraiser in Canada.

Wrongful arrest: The actress was arrested for drug smuggling in November 1970 on the way back from an anti-Vietnam fundraiser

Writing about her false arrest on her blog earlier this year, she said: 'They confiscated (my vitamins) as well as my address book (which was photocopied) and arrested me for drug smuggling.

'I told them what they were but they said they were getting orders from the White House - that would be the Nixon White House.

The headline should read: “Jane Fonda, desperate for attention at age 71”

Jane shouldn’t worry. There are thousands of Vietnam veterans who will never, ever forget what she did against them. And someday, when she is dead and buried, the soil of her grave will be so enriched with urea that no plants will grow thereon.

Jane Fonda, Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn, Kathy Boudin, David Gilbert, Mark Rudd, Jeff Jones and all the others associated with actively supporting the enemy, North Vietnam against the United States were traitors to this nation.

Many of them (The Weatherunderground members) actively called for the overthrow of our constitutional republican form of government and advocated communism in its place...and then went about violently trying to make that happen.

In any sane world and time, they would have been caught, tried and executed for their abject treason.

That they were not, they they have since gone on to become some kind of sick, iconic hereoes of the left, many of them going on to teach American youth in colleges and universities and praised for the same, is the height of indecency and perverted justice.

God help our nation. God defend and help us, and give us the wisdom to actively and forthrightly defend our libery and God-given rights against all such.

That Obama befriended qand used the influence of such peope in his political life tells you all you need to know about the man.

Jane Fonda; from Hanoi in English to American servicemen involved in the Indochina War, 1 PM GMT, 22 August 1972:

This is Jane Fonda. During my two week visit in the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, I’ve had the opportunity to visit a great many places and speak to a large number of people from all walks of life—workers, peasants, students, artists and dancers, historians, journalists, film actresses, soldiers, militia girls, members of the women’s union, writers.

I visited the (Dam Xuac) agricultural coop, where the silk worms are also raised and thread is made. I visited a textile factory, a kindergarten in Hanoi. The beautiful Temple of Literature was where I saw traditional dances and heard songs of resistance. I also saw unforgettable ballet about the guerrillas training bees in the south to attack enemy soldiers. The bees were danced by women, and they did their job well.

In the shadow of the Temple of Literature I saw Vietnamese actors and actresses perform the second act of Arthur Miller’s play All My Sons, and this was very moving to me—the fact that artists here are translating and performing American plays while US imperialists are bombing their country.

I cherish the memory of the blushing militia girls on the roof of their factory, encouraging one of their sisters as she sang a song praising the blue sky of Vietnam—these women, who are so gentle and poetic, whose voices are so beautiful, but who, when American planes are bombing their city, become such good fighters.

I cherish the way a farmer evacuated from Hanoi, without hesitation, offered me, an American, their best individual bomb shelter while US bombs fell near by. The daughter and I, in fact, shared the shelter wrapped in each others arms, cheek against cheek. It was on the road back from Nam Dinh, where I had witnessed the systematic destruction of civilian targets-schools, hospitals, pagodas, the factories, houses, and the dike system.

As I left the United States two weeks ago, Nixon was again telling the American people that he was winding down the war, but in the rubble-strewn streets of Nam Dinh, his words echoed with sinister (words indistinct) of a true killer. And like the young Vietnamese woman I held in my arms clinging to me tightly—and I pressed my cheek against hers—I thought, this is a war against Vietnam perhaps, but the tragedy is America’s.

One thing that I have learned beyond a shadow of a doubt since I’ve been in this country is that Nixon will never be able to break the spirit of these people; he’ll never be able to turn Vietnam, north and south, into a neo-colony of the United States by bombing, by invading, by attacking in any way. One has only to go into the countryside and listen to the peasants describe the lives they led before the revolution to understand why every bomb that is dropped only strengthens their determination to resist.

I’ve spoken to many peasants who talked about the days when their parents had to sell themselves to landlords as virtually slaves, when there were very few schools and much illiteracy, inadequate medical care, when they were not masters of their own lives.

But now, despite the bombs, despite the crimes being created—being committed against them by Richard Nixon, these people own their own land, build their own schools—the children learning, literacy—illiteracy is being wiped out, there is no more prostitution as there was during the time when this was a French colony. In other words, the people have taken power into their own hands, and they are controlling their own lives.

And after 4,000 years of struggling against nature and foreign invaders—and the last 25 years, prior to the revolution, of struggling against French colonialism—I don’t think that the people of Vietnam are about to compromise in any way, shape or form about the freedom and independence of their country, and I think Richard Nixon would do well to read Vietnamese history, particularly their poetry, and particularly the poetry written by Ho Chi Minh.

FWIW, 4 or 5 months later, the ongoing process of withdrawal of combat troops was completed.........the body count in Vietnam and Cambodia skyrocketed subsequently

If events had happened as they should have after her little foray into North Vietnam, it should read:

“Jane Fonda hopes to gain parole at age 71”

The Nixon administration wanted Jane in prison but couldn't find a way to plant drugs on her. Right. How can a person lose respectability when they never had any? Give up all your possessions and go live in a bamboo hut Jane. Subject your rich,spoiled and filthy ass to the communist thugs you loved so much.

At the Air Force Survival School drinking hole I went to, the urinals had those little rubber thingies that prevent the big debris (cigs, mostly) from being flushed. All of ‘em had Fonda’s face on ‘em. Needless to say, I drank a lot of beer while there.
