The Albuquerque station KKOB AM 770 yesterday did two hours of a 99% hit on Fonda's disservice--most callers referring to treason.
Henry Mark Holzer and Erika Holzer, "Aid and Comfort": Jane Fonda in North Vietnam, McFarland & Company, 2002, had their own book-signing at the VFW 307 Montezuma in Santa Fe, attended by the State Republican Chair.
The book details the twelve specifically identified broadcasts Fonda made via Radio Hanoi in 1972, six while she was in North Vietnam, six others on a delayed tape basis since her departure July 22, 1972.
Fonda had left the United States, traveled to Paris and, fittingly, flown from there to Moscow. Boarding an Aeroflot flight in the Soviet capital, apparently incognito, she remained on the airplane when it landed in supposedly neutral Laos, and exited only when she arrived in Hanoi, North Vietnam. "Clad in black pajamas [typically worn by the Viet Cong in the South]and a white tunic, Jane stepped off her Aeroflot jet on July 8, 1972. . . .She arrived, she told her uniformed, helmeted hosts, with 'greetings' from revolutionary 'comrades' in America."
Of the forty-two (42) bullet points Fonda used in her twelve (12) propaganda broadcasts enumerated by the Holzers on pages 63-5 are these:
~American pilots were bombing nonmilitary targets, such as hospitals, villages, schools, factories, pagodas, theaters and dikes.~Americans were using "illegal, outlawed weapons," including chemical bombs and chemical toxic gases.
~Ordering the use of, and using, these weapons makes one a "war criminal."
~In the past, users of such weapons were "tried and executed."
~The Vietnamese seek only "freedom and independence," which the United States wants to prevent them from having.
~The Vietnamese fighters are her "friends."
~"We thank you [the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese] for your brave and heroic fight."
The Holzers on pages 65-6:
That there was a consistent pro-Communist, anti-American, propaganda theme to virtually everything uttered by Fonda in her broadcasts from Hanoi, that Fonda's statements reveal a clear intent to aid the North Vietnamese and injure the United States, cannot be disputed.
