Before Rynearson Moves to Bainbridge Island

Summer 2006

Rynearson & wife visit Bainbridge Island for the first time & learn of the history

31 October 2006

Rynearson & wife purchase property in Poulsbo (but do not yet live in Washington)

30 January 2009

Rynearson & wife standing by the Capitol Reflecting Pool during President Barack Obama's inauguration, having a) voted for him, b) sent him a max campaign contribution, c) seen him on the campaign trail, and d) read his books

August 2011

Rynearson & wife purchase condo on Bainbridge Island, visit the Bainbridge Island Historical Museum, and first learn of Clarence Moriwaki (but do not yet live in Washington)

31 October 2011

Maj Rynearson resigns his military commission rather than assassinate an American citizen without charge or trial (refusing an unlawful order that violated the Fifth Amendment) -- his signed and offered resignation was not accepted





Rynearson's Signed & Tendered Resignation


RELATED:

Air Force Central Adjudication Facility (AFCAF) Decision

Clarence Moriwaki argues to Judge Sara McCulloch that Rynearson's refusal of the order to assassinate an American citizen without charge or trial outside a war zone who was no imminent threat (an order that Moriwaki labels "lawful") is evidence that Rynearson has "contempt for authority," while Rynearson's lawyer argues that Rynearson's refusal of the order was exactly what we hoped soldiers would have done when ordered to force Japanese Americans into internment camps

AUDIO: "Clarence Moriwaki trying to paint Rynearson's refusal of an unlawful order as bad goes against the moral compass of the Memorial"


30 November 2011

Maj Rynearson blogs about Indefinite Military Detention power given to the President of the United States as Congress (including Jay Inslee, Senator Maria Cantwell, and Senator Patty Murray) makes it legal to happen again (indefinite military detention without charge or trial). His blog post ends with:

Below I have included video of a stage play titled, Dawn's Light: The Journey of Gordon Hirabayashi. The creators of the play describe their creation: "During WWII in Seattle, University of Washington student Gordon Hirabayashi agonizes over U.S. government orders to forcibly remove and imprison all people of Japanese ancestry on the West Coast. As he fights to reconcile his country's betrayal with his Constitutional beliefs, Gordon journeys toward a greater understanding of America's triumphs and failures." The key word in that description is betrayal.

September 2012

The United States Air Force finds that Rynearson's reprimands (including one for refusing to assassinate an American citizen) are due to Maj Rynearson being "fully aware of the U.S. Constitution" and denies a request to revoke Maj Rynearson's security clearances

Moriwaki's conclusion and fabricated "quote" from Rynearson's blog:



Rynearson's actual blog post stated:

Those afraid of tyranny of government, or tyranny of a lunatic in a public place, all have the same remedy. Arm yourself and protect yourself! It is ludicrous that all Americans can't agree on the value of this right. As Thomas Jefferson stated, "Every citizen should be a soldier. This was the case with the Greeks and Romans, and must be that of every free state." If you want to be free, arm yourself! If you want to remain free, arm yourself. Every person benefits from the tools of self defense, regardless of religion or color or gender or politics or sexuality except for those who wish to violate the rights of others with whom they differ. But this common sense value has been programmed out of a large portion of our lemming-like American population and people who may have potentially had good intentions have turned themselves into domestic enemies of America who, like Senator Joe McCarthy, wish to use the machinery of public government to violate the rights of their innocent countrymen.

Above we presented just the facts with little to no editorial. But here is the only conclusion that the facts bear out:

Clarence Moriwaki is a liar. Clarence Moriwaki is a thug. Clarence Moriwaki doesn't just lie, he lies in order to have a person put in jail. Clarence Moriwaki lies to hundreds and thousands of people to conjure fear from thin air about people he disagrees with, and makes an irrational mob think innocent people pose a threat to their physical safety. Further, in an age of tragic police shootings over harmless encounters where police routinely fear a phone or wallet, Clarence Moriwaki purposefully contacts police to encourage them to fear his political enemies.

Clarence Moriwaki is a deeply evil man.

Like most fascists, Clarence Moriwaki is insecure and thin-skinned and filled with hate. He surrounds himself with other people of similarly horrible character, like Judge Sara McCulloch and Senator Christine Rolfes who model corrupt character and abuse of power, and along with ordinary street thugs like convicted felon Tres Cozine who beat his girlfriend with a bat because he was so angered by her speech. The hallmark of fascism is using street thugs and the machinery of government to silence those who criticize people in positions of power.

This ongoing situation demonstrates textbook fascism and makes clear without a doubt that Clarence Moriwaki is exactly the wrong person to be representing our memorial. As happened to Japanese Americans on Bainbridge Island in the 1940s, Clarence Moriwaki uses hysteria, lies, and propaganda to paint innocent people as dangerous threats while he simultaneously works with government to violate their constitutional rights and to exclude them from their homes and from their community. He stokes a mob, he plays on fears, and he lies about others while doing the very things he falsely accuses others of doing.

Clarence Moriwaki is an embarrassment to our Bainbridge Island and to the United States of America. Mostly, because indefinite detention without charge or trial is far worse than liking a sappy movie, Clarence Moriwaki is an embarrassment to our Bainbridge Island Japanese American Exclusion Memorial and our memorial should cut all ties with him to save its credibility and further its mission.

There is no excuse for supporting Clarence Moriwaki. Let it not happen again.
