On Thursday, a viral photo of vocal anti-Trump actor John
Cusack sitting down during a military salute at Wrigley Field sparked criticism
online.
"Here’s [John Cusack] staying firmly seated during
tonight's military salute at Wrigley Field," read a tweet featuring a
photo of the actor surrounded by standing folks at a Cubs game on Wednesday.
Cusack gave a slew of angry responses in reaction to the
photo. He claimed that he was merely slow to stand up for the salute, while
also belittling patriotism and suggesting the military salute at Wrigley Field
was just promoting the military industrial complex.
"I didn’t stand up for Boeing military salute — fast
enough for some maga f*** - see?" the actor wrote in a tweet, referencing
a supporter of President Donald Trump.
"I stood up— just not on que — like an Obedient
pet," he added. "I made a film called war inc — watch that."
Cusack again noted that his actions were a "non
protest": "They worship a draft dodger who insults POWs,
but freak out if someone silently protests at a sports event. The irony
is...next level."
In other tweets and retweets posted by Cusack, the actor
continued criticizing views on patriotism and questioning the president’s
patriotism:
Cusack has been a vocal critic of the president, calling
for a coup against “ill, deranged and dangerous” Trump in June.
"Let’s go to streets — Who owns the streets? Civil
disobedience," he wrote in a tweet, which is no longer viewable on
Twitter. "Require the government to leave if you are not satisfied with
it. We need to kick Trump out of the office now He’s ill, deranged and
dangerous. He’s putting children in cages — f*** the Nazis — shut them
down."
"Cusack continued to call for Trump's removal and
accused the current administration of placing illegal immigrant children in
cages at the South border," The Daily Wire reported at the
time. "Cusack was likely referencing photos taken during the Obama
Administration that were wrongly credited to Trump by the media, last week. As
noted by Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief Ben Shapiro, it is Democrats and leftist
judges who have said that children cannot be detained, meaning kids are being
ripped from their parents when the government enforces the law concerning
illegal border crossings."
In that same month, Hollywood player and sister of Jane Fonda,
Peter Fonda, went off the rails with his Trump-hatred. "Fonda, 78, ...
called White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders and Secretary of Homeland
Security Kirstjen Nielsen ‘g***es,' which he noted is "much worse than
c***.’ Sanders should have her children ripped from her and given ‘to Stephen
Goebbels Miller for safe keeping.’ He called for the stripping and whipping of
Nielsen, too. Additionally, Fonda suggested ICE agents be doxxed and anti-Trumpers
find out where their children go to school and harass them," The Daily
Wire reported.
"WE SHOULD RIP BARRON TRUMP FROM HIS MOTHER’S ARMS
AND PUT HIM IN A CAGE WITH PEDOPHILES AND SEE IF MOTHER WILL WILL STAND UP
AGAINST THE GIANT A**HOLE SHE IS MARRIED TO. 90 MILLION PEOPLE IN THE STREETS
ON THE SAME WEEKEND IN THE COUNTRY. F***," Fonda posted in a tweet.
In another tweet, Fonda wrote: "Kristjen Nielsen is a
lying g*** that should be put in a cage and poked at by passersby. The gash
should be pilloried in Lafayette Square naked and whipped by passersby while
being filmed for posterity."
Regarding Sanders, Fonda said: "SS (Sarah Sanders)
is a lying g***, too. And “g***” is much worse than c***. Maybe we should take
her children away and deport her to Arkansas, and giving her children to
Stephen Goebbels Miller for safe keeping."
Traitor: "Hanoi Jane" Fonda
The Patriot Post
She was born Lady Jayne Seymour Fonda, but earned her
reputation as "Hanoi Jane" Fonda after "aiding and
abetting" the enemy -- North Vietnam -- as documented in these photos
taken in Hanoi (July 1972):
Hanoi Jane on North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gun: A few
hundred yards from the location of this photograph, American POWs were being
subjected to all manner of torture at the "Hanoi Hilton." You can
read about one of those POWs, Col.
Roger Ingvalson, whose aircraft was shot down by an NVA-AAG similar
to the gun Hanoi Jane is straddling.

Showing her admiration
Fonda called returning POWs "hypocrites and
liars," adding, "These were not men who had been tortured. These were
not men who had been starved. These were not men who had been brainwashed. ...
Pilots were saying it was the policy of the Vietnamese and that it was
systematic. I believe that's a lie." You can read about one of Fondas
"hypocrites and liars" in this Veterans Day

With Tom Hayden back from Hanoi
Read the transcript of Hanoi Jane's
propaganda radio broadcast delivered in Hanoi, North Vietnam on
August 22, 1972.
As for the success of anti-democracy protests by radical
protagonists like Fonda, John Kerry
and others, Hanoi could not have been more pleased.
General Vo Nguyen Giap, supreme leader of the North
Vietnamese Army, told CBS in a 1989 interview: "We paid a high price
[during the Tet offensive] but so did you [Americans] ... not only in lives and
materiel. Do not forget the war was brought into the living rooms of the
American people. ... The most important result of the Tet offensive was it
made you de-escalate the bombing, and it brought you to the negotiation table. It
was, therefore, a victory.... The war was fought on many fronts. At that time
the most important one was American public opinion. "
More to the point, in a 1995 interview with The Wall
Street Journal, Bui Tin, a communist contemporary of Giap and Ho Chi Minh, who
was serving as an NVA colonel assigned to the general staff at the time Saigon
fell, had this to say about the Leftmedia and Soviet puppets like
"Hanoi" Jane Fonda and John Kerry: "[They
were] essential to our strategy. Support of the war from our rear was
completely secure while the American rear was vulnerable. Every day our
leadership would listen to world news over the radio to follow the growth of
the American antiwar movement. Visits to Hanoi by people like Jane Fonda,
and former Attorney General Ramsey Clark and ministers gave us confidence that
we should hold on in the face of battlefield reverses."
Bui stated further, "Those people represented the
conscience of America. The conscience of America was part of its war-making
capability, and we were turning that power in our favor. America lost because
of its democracy; through dissent and protest it lost the ability to mobilize a
will to win."
Most notably, Bui observed, that the 1968 Tet Offensive
was "to weaken American resolve during a presidential-election year. We
had the impression that American commanders had their hands tied by political
factors. Your generals could never deploy a maximum force for greatest military
effect."
Sixteen years later, under enormous pressure after Ronald Reagan had restored the honorable social
standing of military service, Fonda admitted to former American POWs and their
families that she regretted the pain she caused them. Few accepted her apology.
Fonda Power
In a 2005 interview with CBS, Fonda reiterated that she
had no regrets about her trip to North Vietnam in 1972. "There are
hundreds of American delegations that had met with the POWs. Both sides were
using the POWs for propaganda... It's not something that I will apologize
for."
Peace
More Peace
Fonda with last in husband line, Ted Turner, Village drunk
and self-appointed ambassador to North Korea, who observed recently,
"Obviously, I don’t like to see nuclear proliferation, and I’m very upset
about [the North Korean test]," as opposed to his earlier position being
"absolutely convinced that the North Koreans are absolutely sincere"
about not developing nuclear weapons.
What a life
Hanoi Jane's real life -- so far...
