One Question

Shovel Ready never built the casino, but he kept getting a check while the Tribe slid into the ditch. The Casino Stalker who never fit in.

On February 9, 2019 Cedric Cromwell and his regime will have been at the helm of the  Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe for a decade. The Cromwell administration has systematically undermined and poisoned the health and integrity of a once proud and spirited Native American Tribe This epitaph is a sad ending for the people who survived all efforts to wipe them out by the White man only to  succumb to the assault of a phony tribal member from freaking Dorchester who didn’t even have a roll number.

So  the only question that needs to be answered is why Cedric and Cheryl are rich ( between $5–10 million) and the Tribe is destitute.

Or try it another way.

Why are we worse off now than we were 10 years ago?

THE CCT did a real story…and How the March to Nowhere got us NOWHERE

Genting’s trying to salvage the casino and land in trust deal…it will be tough. But Cedric and Jessie will never escape the label of the Casino Stalkers who destroyed the Tribe.

We said it in the headline but we just want to remind you that that stupid march resulted in nothing. The crazy Trump people and the wacky Interior Secretary who rides to work in DC on a damned horse…. and we got nothing.  The appeal is a stalling tactic for the paycheck. Nothing on the news or national news.  Someone needs to tell simple Trish that it’s hard to break through the Trump daily distribution of insanity.  If you can’t get  on nationally what’s the point? Oh okay, I know, you didn’t know.

Simple.

Well, we know when Genting stopped paying our lousy  lawyers a couple of years  ago and recently started paying lobbyists on their own. Town does the old guy. Well, the Chinese were wanting results.  Genting had to make some money somewhere because they have been taking serious consequential financial losses with their gaming operations in the United States. So obviously before they take Cedric and the Payola Council off the payroll, they’re going to make a last run at getting this done by a pro, from Florida no less.

Yah.  The Cape Cod Times finally got an investigative reporter to do the real story behind how this stuff works. More tomorra.

Marching to nowhere …….Cedric sells us to the Town

The March to Nowhere will have no impact on that fact that we could become a landless tribe bound to  the Town of Mashpee and Cedric’s good friend the Town Manager. Sold out to a new master. Bet Cedric keeps getting a check.

The Cromwell administration has yet to present a strategy for the  Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe  that will actually do something to benefit the tribal members.  Trust us,  a march from Collins Lot to the council office  is a bootleg attempt to rally support for a totally lost cause. Unless you have 1,000 people it has no impact.  Even after you do, it’s gobbled  up in the news cycle and has no impact on a government that could care less.

The lost cause is the Department of Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs, failure to find  a new path  for taking our land in trust.  Okay so Shovel Ready Ceddie wants to sue the DOI  BIA because it could not do it.  What the federal agencies decided was, that there was no way around the Carcieri decision rendered by the US Supreme Court. We did not meet that criteria so the federal district court sent it back to the BIA and said ” maybe the tribe has other options?” And after screwing around for quite a while, the BIA said, Nah.

 

Well, we all knew what was going to happen.  And Cedric’s response is to sue the BIA.  That’s tantamount to suing or appealing the Supreme Court Carcieri decision.  The US Supreme Court is the end of the line. Suing the BIA is like suing the US Supreme Court because they are adhering to the final ruling.  But really people……it’s just another way for Cedric and the payola tribal council members to keep getting paid.  Let’s rewind for a minute .

For over 2 years this hand off to the BIA to ” find a new path” has been languishing at the agency.  Cedric knew the outcome.  Anyone with an iota of education knew the outcome.  Instead of trying to exercise options to benefit the tribe, Cedric and the payola council members kept taking pay checks, doing nothing and collecting millions to vote as Cedric  told them to.  Meanwhile the tribe has absolutely nothing established for the future.

Congressman Keating, City Manager Rodney Collins and Shovel Ready who is grinning like a Cheshire cat anticipating another reprieve at our expense. Meet the new master.

All the people who set up the bogus LIT application are gone, the overpaid consultants,and lawyers who also made millions. Course Messy Jessie is still here exploiting the tribe with her scams in her family tradition.  Cedric has a new friend at the Town of Mashpee.  The former police chief who used to arrest his enemies and harass tribal members, is the town manager. Hmmmmm. Well the town is trying to join the congressional legislation which was pointed our by former tribal vice chairman Aaron Tobey.  Tobey has filed suit saying  the town has ulterior motives that will greatly restrict our sovereignty.  And he’s right. Extraordinary is  the fact that Cedric never exercised due diligence with the town as a legitimate tribal government because he was oblivious to the need to build a relationship  and prove our legitimacy and earn respect.  Now he crawls begging for their help with lobbyists and legal help. The Town of Mashpee will own us if the congress allows  it to insert itself..

Instead of building a team to do the job in the congress years ago.  He just kept taking a check,.   Details tomorrow of the whole sorry deal.
