Guest essay by Eric Worrall
Hanoi Jane sharing her charming insights into what she thinks is wrong with the world. Though to be fair, Fonda decided that since she is a mother and grandmother, exterminating the human race is not an option.
‘I was slipping into despair’: Jane Fonda finds hope, purpose in climate change activism
Barbara VanDenburgh
USA TODAY…
“I would wonder if perhaps humankind deserved the fate it had created,” Fonda writes. “Just get rid of us Homo sapiens ASAP and things will restore themselves.”
A mother and grandmother, Fonda knew that wasn’t an option.
“I knew this fatalist thinking was a cop-out, and I didn’t like myself for it,” she writes. What helped convince Fonda to fight for change was actually listening to what climate scientists were saying.
“The scientists are very clear: We have to cut our fossil fuel emissions in half by 2030,” Fonda says. “They say we have the technology to do it, we have the money to do it, we have everything we need to do it except enough people to force the government to actually do it.”

What can I say; scratch a hardline climate activist, find an anti-humanist.
Despite Jane Fonda’s claim she decided wishing death on all mankind was not an option, because she’s a mother and grandmother, considering the end of humanity as an option, and rejecting the end of humanity because she cares about her kids and grandkids, in my opinion demonstrates a shocking disregard for the value of the lives of people outside her immediate circle.
Note (EW): A few people have expressed upset that we are showing Jane Fonda’s image again.
I am sorry for upsetting people, but Jane Fonda appears to be trying to build her activist following. Fonda is very good at getting people to like her. If we ignore her, she will become more powerful. If we remind people of some of the horrible things she has said and done, maybe we can at least slow her down a little.

“The scientists are very clear: We have to cut our fossil fuel emissions in half by 2030,” Fonda says.
The scientist might be very clear on what they want you and i to do, motives still a bit murky, but they are not at all clear on the evidence that warrants such a quality of life destroying set of actions. In fact when questioned they begin hurling epithets and change the subject.
Translation from the ATB: “The peasants need to have their fuels and energy severely rationed, meanwhile us rich Hollywood Libs will go on about our affairs of high flying living.”
The Libtard motto: “Rules thee, not for me.”
And she was ‘slipping into despair until she found a new way to screw other people over to stoke her own warm fuzzy.
Beee-yatch.
They will need to maintain a class of scribes to maintain and produce the aircraft they fly around in. You see this in most civilizations from Sumer to modern day Canada.
No the activist water melons are very clear; the science not so much.
BTW Doesn’t this just epitomize the misanthropy of “enviromentalists” [sic]
Just kill yourself Jane. Do it. Just do it.
All my liberal friend take anti depressants, I suppose they are down in the dumps because they think this should be the Great Marxist Utopia States of America. OMG if they got the world they think they want they would go bonkers mad.
They could easily get the world they think they want. All they need to do is to move to one of the many failed Marxist states.
But no, they insist on dragging the rest of us down with them.
God to Jane,
I am waiting for you to join me.
I need your advice on what to do with the human race I created.
Love forever and ever
Eternally yours?
So True. I have always thought that letting liberals create their own Utopia, and then making them live in it as ordinary citizens, would be like condemning them to a hell of their own making.
Sounds like Seattle Autonomous Zone to me. Ended when the violence became so bad the residents decided they wanted police assistance after all.
Na, they’d be the first to be deemed nonessential lives and turned into soylent green.
Here in Canada, non-essential government workers were told to stay home. Still collecting their pay of course.
What Jane Fonda says, said, will say, is as important as an dud refrigerator.
She is a good Democrat.
To be a good Democrat doesn’t change her importance over a dud refrigerator, rather less 😀
Yeh. That’s just not cool…man.
82, and still a priveleged idiot. Who says inherited money and fame can’t buy you happiness?
Okay … what karma to call someone a privileged idiot and make a grade school spelling mistake.
When ever calling someone a moron, idiot or stupid use spell check 😉
Ah yes! We can rule out any wisdom because of a spelling error. Much like dismissing opinions because they didn’t add the Q to LGBT or didn’t use the right pronouns or forgot that it was now south east asian or indigenous. Glad my spell check caught that misspell of indigenous, not to mention misspell.
Well said!
Pedants are useful in th classroom teaching English, but out on the streets they are prissy, self-important know-alls.
yes karma can be funny.
https://www.dailywritingtips.com/whenever-vs-when-ever/
take that feather out of your hat and throw it away.
dmacleo,
Thank you so much for a big belly laugh! Apparently, like Jane, karma is a real bee-yotch!
Well, at least ‘d’ could spell his own name. There is hope for him.
He/she is probably an English peerson; they often confuse and abuse the vowels
“82, and still a spell check. Who says inherited money and fame can’t buy you happiness?”
If you insist, but it just doesn’t get the message across.
It’s “whenever”, not “when ever”
Grade school mistake.
““I knew this fatalist thinking was a cop-out, and I didn’t like myself for it,” she writes.”
No, Jane it’s not a cop-out, it’s just the state of being perpetually stupid.
In the real world, a planet with life that does not develop intelligent life is a complete waste of a planet.
Without intelligent life, the planet is wall to wall kill or be killed, a total predator-prey environment, far from the Eden the stupid like to imagine.
Man has altered the predator-prey world and broken the tooth and claw life of many animals. Literally billions of animals are not living the eat or be eaten life because of human activities. This is all good. Sure, we make mistakes but we are also correcting them.
Hanoi Jane’s problem is that she is not the “climate scientist” she fraudulently calls herself. And, she clearly has not idea that the claim that CO2 is warming the planet is equally fraudulent. It is scientifically impossible for a gas that is colder than Earth’s surface to warm Earth’s surface. It is simply a nonstarter.
The “scientists” were very clear in 1970, 1975, 1980, 1985, 1990…. They are so clear that the “consensus” is always just 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 years away and we must act today. So many “tipping points” have been passed and we’re still all here and things for us “deniers” seems to be improving in so many ways.
Rest assured, the solutions Jane is after resemble the Hunger Games where she and her ilk are in the city because they are ‘noble’ or some other B.S. The rest of us will be in the districts.
I recall Jane flying up to northern Alberta to protest the oilsands at one point. Curiously her fossil fuel use is fine, just not for the rest of us.
Many people have said that about Jane Fonda; especially us veterans.
Where she really goes wrong is when she says “They say…” This woman is unable to think for herself and so she thinks the vast majority of the population is in the same camp. Just like Joe Biden, “If the scientists tell me…” But which scientists, and why that group? Obviously those that align with his worldview and further his political ambitions. C.S. Lewis was right about tyrannies.
You found the wrong religion,Jane.Try Christianity.
She’s 82? My advice, for Jane? She best hurry. God has made himself known to humanity, since creation. She needs to look around and embrace the creator. She cannot add one cubit to her life. She cannot create anything … she can only destroy with the power she’s bestowed upon herself. She has made herself into a FALSE god. She lives as though she is her own golden idol. Showered with human riches, and wielding them as if a god. Repent!
Ha! And I am the LAST person you will ever catch “evangelizing” anyone. You’re all entitled to your own opinions. Why? Because God has given you that FREEDOM. It is your birthright. FREEDOM. Only people like Jane … resent and hate your FREE nature. Your FREE mind. A mind that questions human orthodoxy … such as every proclamation of “scientists”. And when she cannot separate you from your FREEDOM … she seeks to simply eliminate you. This is what “fallen” humans do.
She supposedly converted nearly 20 years ago. I’ve not heard anything about it since.
The decline of science and science inquiry in America and in public policy is accelerating. It was already nonexistent in Hollywood. The rest is caving in on the side of the precipice.
I am inclined to cut ol’ Jane some slack. She was born to great privilege and became wonderfully successful in her own right, but she didn’t just float around on a sea of money and go to parties and marry French directors and billionaires and things like that. She took up political activism, even if it often got her in trouble. I respect that.
Think how badly being a movie star would scramble your brain if you weren’t watching out for it. A movie is a multimillion dollar industrial project employing hundreds of highly skilled people so, if you were the star of the movie, everybody around you was dependent on you for their employment, and would treat you accordingly. That might leave you with a sense of your own importance that would get out of hand.
All of those people around her had repeatedly cut her had some slack. Either because of the reasons you pointed out or because they wanted in on the show.
I am not inclined to cut her some slack; I would be inclined to help her by letting her know she has become, through her life of privilege, a selfish piece of shit. If, throughout her life, others around her would have done this then she would not have to wonder about how much better off the world would be without her grand kids in it.
(giving her the benefit of the doubt … she probably envision a hunger games type solution. Except she envisions the producers, those that supply her family with food and luxuries as being dumb and happy, and not abused.)
What’s to respect in a political activism that aligns one with mass-murdering ideological tyrants, Ian.
Pat Frank writes “What’s to respect in a political activism that aligns one with mass-murdering ideological tyrants, Ian.”
Yes, the left and it’s favorite “causes” are in fact serving pure evil. See this essay by Allan MacRae:
https://wattsupwiththat.com/2019/04/14/hypothesis-radical-greens-are-the-great-killers-of-our-age/
The quotes from leaders of the Greens in the above essay say all you need to know about the absolute evil this ideology possesses at it’s core. (not to downplay the death and suffering it has wrought – but the words from the mouths of these leaders are telling about modern greens, etc)
And useful idiots as the Soviets termed them, are legion here and now and the ignorance of these foot soldiers is growing.
Just recently a new book about the founder of this warped ideology came out:
https://www.glennbeck.com/radio/hear-the-horrifying-words-karl-marx-wrote-about-satan-evil-this-is-the-origin-of-blm-marxism
Beck’s interview with Paul Kengor, the author of The Devil and Karl Marx is revealing. Marx, who is the father of all of the incarnations of the present movements whether Climate Alarmism, BLM, Antifa, etc. and the drive towards socialism/communism which is the goal of all these false fronts.
From the book are some lines from 2 poems written by Marx:
“Thus Heaven I’ve forfeited, I know it full well” … “My soul, once true to God, is chosen for Hell”
penned in 1837.
Another of Marx’ poems writes: “The hellish vapors rise and fill the brain, Till I go mad and my heart is utterly changed. See the sword – the Prince of Darkness sold it to me.”
It does not matter if there is a devil or not, if an individual believes he is a vessel or embodiment of Evil, and produces an ideology so thoroughly evil in it’s results – one cannot ignore the foundations upon which socialist/communist ideology was based upon.
It can be no surprise to any thinking, rational person that if you follow something created with evil intent, whose manifestations have caused incredible death and suffering over a century – you are in fact serving to foster or manifest evil!
All of us must bear this in mind – mere logical arguments won’t work against brainwashed cult members. Indeed the specter of being part of or supporting such evil, is a barrier to those brainwashed from acknowledging their mistake – as admitting to oneself you have been serving pure evil is a tough pill to swallow.
Maybe Scott Adams is right – fear works better than logical arguments. Focus on showing these useful idiots – at least the ones who have not swallowed too much kool aid, that their proposals will result in so much death and suffering as to make MacRae’s essay on the 100 million dead from this ideology in the past century, look like a mild case of the common cold by comparison to the result of “decarbonizing society”.
It is very easy to demonstrate that Jane’s sense of self-importance has gotten out of hand.
The very fact that she thinks any of us care about her uninformed opinions is proof of that.
I believe it was Elvis, when asked his opinion of some controversy in his day replied: How should I know, I’m just an entertainer.
Now that is keeping your sense of self-importance under control.
The very fact that she is out there lecturing us lesser mortals completely removes the obligation any of us might have felt towards “cutting her some slack”.
And how did she accomplish all those personal achievements? She sold her sex. From Barbarella to Exercise videos … she sold sex. All proper and whatnot. What a “strong woman”, eh? So, she whores out her body for fun, admiration, and profit … then claims “feminism”.
Well, if you don’t have the intellectual capacity … but a tight body and no moral compass … then go ahead. Stick it in the camera. Cha Ching!
Ian,
C’mon, man! So the poor little rich girl had a successful career; that doesn’t absolve her from responsibility for her traitorous actions during the war in Vietnam Nam or her inability to ferret out that the Green Blob has little or nothing to do with the climate and everything to do with instituting socialism across the globe and stifling liberty and prosperity for the majority of humanity!
As a bona fide member of the ruling elite she doesn’t have to worry about the effect of green policies on herself and her friends; after all, laws are for the little people, not our lords and masters!
I’m reminded of a guy I worked with who’d ask, “What do you call an @ur momisugly$$hole whose really rich?”
The correct answer is: “An @ur momisugly$$hole!”
Well. You guys have really got it in for Jane Fonda. I don’t see a lot of evidence that she’s a bad person. She does explain her reasons for her positions, and they are morally based, and essentially altruistic. Her opposition to the Vietnam War was based on hostility to the cruelty of it. Of course, her assumption that the Viet Cong were heroic defenders of the rights of their people was childishly naïve, but it was the kind of mistake a lot of young people might make.
And Kenji, I don’t hold it against anyone in show business if they base their career on sexual attraction. Why would I? Is there something about sexual attraction that is inherently wicked, and therefore sexually attractive people are to be derided if they use it to appeal to audiences? Well not that I can see.
Rich people are people too, just like everybody else. Their principal blind spot is that they just don’t think about money, because they don’t have to. Their is no need to allocate scarce resources because none of their resources are scarce. Even so, I’m sure Jane understands on some level that real people have to worry about orthodontist bills, and Christmas presents for their children.
She is a traitorous scumbag who has spewed hatred and vitriol on American citizens for decades, a two bit whore. The only forgiveness she will ever receive from me is when she is dead. And it will be very little even then.
Love it!
Gordon Gekko: That’s the one thing you have to remember about WASPs: they love animals and hate people

A wonderful fiction and projection from our good friends in Tinsel Town. The last time I checked, it’s the usual crowd of liberals, left wingers and Hollywood glitterati that despise humanity and gush over the critters, not White Anglo Saxon Protestants.
@Steve – “WASP” was used correctly by Gekko. It means WEALTHY Anglo-Saxon Protestants. It was applied to the elite of the past – equivalent to the epithets “Boston Brahmin,” “Nob Hill Snob,” etc.
Think on it – have you ever seen an Anglo-Saxon that is NOT WHITE?
Duck Duck Go search on “WASP Acronym People” says you’re wrong. But let’s not quibble, I get your point.
Every time I’ve heard it described, it was White, not Wealthy.
@Writing Observer, don’t know where you got that as it’s always has been White as far back as I can remember. But to give you the benefit of the doubt I tried Googling “WEALTHY Anglo-Saxon Protestants”. Wanna guess what the results that came back where? Come on guess. I give you a hint: Not a single result that said Wealthy. Yep every single link that came back was for White Other search engines give similar results.
Indeed, the Earliest know use of the phase (according to the editor of The Yale Book of Quotations) seems to be in an article in The New York Amsterdam News, April 17, 1948, where in writer Stetson Kennedy wrote the following: “In America, we find the WASPs (White Anglo-Saxon Protestants) ganging up to take their frustrations out on whatever minority group happens to be handy — whether Negro, Catholic, Jewish, Japanese or whatnot.” It thus appears that “WASP” was used in an African-American newspaper before it became social science jargon in 1950s and 60s.
They had Hanoi Jane on PBS’s News Hour last night.
I went to the News Hour website in an effort to let them know how much I object to their providing publicity to this total AIRHEAD BIMBO but PBS has been very careful to make it all-but-impossible to contact the program. Hanoi Jane is the very definition of the innumerates and economic illiterates who form the core of the anxiety-disordered climate delusionals.
I note that the Berkshire Hathaway (of which I am a shareholder) subsidiary, BNSF, is a major sponsor of PBS’ News Hour. Somehow, I rather doubt that BNSF powers their locomotives with pinwheels or sunshine.
” Hanoi Jane is the very definition of the innumerates and economic illiterates who form the core of the anxiety-disordered climate delusionals.”
Yes, she is. She doesn’t have a clue. All she knows is what some scientist told her.
Bill Nye is not a scientist.
Jane can volunteer to go first. Her Environmental i Ideas are about as good as her other failed causes.
You first, Jane. Oh, you’re still here.
Will the individual stopping Jane Fonda from getting rid of herself please get out of her way.
What she seems to not worry about is ‘Ordinary People.’
Just get rid of us Homo sapiens ASAP and things will restore themselves.”
Show us the way, Hanoi Jane. You first.
So, now we know that Jane Fonda is anti-human as well as anti-freedom. It’s striking how often those two attributes combine in a single individual.
It’s almost as though if the one view is encountered from an individual, the other can confidently be assumed as present there.
Take away, destroy, reduce, limit, consolidate, we must, all this always comes out of the mouths of people either with money or power as they will not be affected by the turmoil created by the ideas they present and represent. I for one am sick and tired of them and if they want to go away by God good bye corn cob pipe.
For the third time you have chosen to give this traitor attention. I suggest you simply ignore her, no one listens to anyway. She is a very sore spot to many of us Veterans. I am not reading any of the article but still have to see the skank when I come to this site.
+1
And well said.
Feckless drivel from someone desperately needing to feel relevant.
Her Dad was nice guy and a WW2 bomber pilot who made Brigadier General in the USAF Reserve and then filmed the USAF cold war propaganda movie Strategic Air Command in 1955. Pretty accurate depiction of Air Force life in that period.
Hank Fonda also filmed of course, “It’s a Wonderful Life,” in 1947. That movie is still the ultimate holiday season feel good about humanity movie.
Sadly, his daughter didn’t incorporate any of her Dad’s values as her own, only taking his privilege and money to become a Hollywood Libtard and The American Traitor Bitch (“The ATB” as she was also known).
You might check Jimmy Stewart’s biography.
Joel,
I think you might be getting Jimmy Stewart mixed up with Henry Fonda.
Max P
They were buddies though.
On a double date with Lucille Ball and another (to be) famous starlet, they took the girls home with them and had them wash the dirty dishes.
Yep thanks. I had a Joe Biden moment.
Folks, Henry Fonda filmed the you know, you know the thing. I mean, that’s a storybook, man.
Maybe he knows something we don”t?
Joel,
Shouldn’t that be Anti-American Traitor Bitch? Seeing how clueless she is these days I’m beginning to wonder if that contraption from Barbarella didn’t actually work! Maybe encountering her brain is what broke it!
I know the world is a bit short of actual news at the moment, what with a Presidential election just a few weeks away and some insignificant virus taking up most of the MSM”s sensationalism quota, but do we really need to constantly resurrect a nobody like Jane Fonda so frequently?
Just out of curiosity, has she actually ever done anything worthy of merit, in her 82 year long life.
Which scientists Jane? The same one who claim we wil never see snow after year 2000? Or the one who predicted Florida under water by now? Now, Jane… please tell us what conditions need to be corrected and returned to “normal.” Do you have a clue as to what normal climate on Earth really looks like? Jane the fool , always the fool. The only reason we quote Jane on these matters is because she so exemplifies pure ignorance.
