Mao to Obama via Hawai`i and Manzanar

by Andrew Walden  www.AccuracyInMedia.com

The “Honolulu Community Media Council” (HCMC) July 14 denounces Accuracy In Media and the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review for “shoddy journalism and smear tactics.” HCMC, headed by Chris Conybeare, “finds” that “there is no substance to the claim” that “Frank Marshall Davis was a lifelong Communist and a mentor to (presidential candidate Barack) Obama.”

Conybeare may be hoping that nobody else knowing the post-WW II history of Hawai`i is willing to talk. Davis, it turns out, was just one member of a network whose works continue to exert influence to this day.

A faculty member of the UH-West O`ahu Center for Labor Education and Research (CLEAR), Conybeare is a producer of the many-part PBS “Rice and Roses” series on the history of labor organizing in Hawai`i, focusing on the International Longshoremen’s and Warehousemen’s Union (ILWU). Conybeare’s “Biography Hawai`i” videos include the story of ILWU Hawai`i President, Jack Hall and the life of Koji Ariyoshi, founder and editor of the ILWU-funded Honolulu Record.

According to Conybeare’s own videos, before hiring Frank Marshall Davis, Koji Ariyoshi joined the WW2-era Military Intelligence Service/OSS—predecessor to the CIA—and used his language skills to land himself a position as U.S. military liaison to Communist forces in China—working personally with Mao Zedong.
