Reel Wamps

Herrin’ and Roe have stopped laughing about the Cedric Cromwell crew and remind us that his failed leadership set us back 50 years. Wiping out all our accomplishments.

Herrin’ : ” I gotta tell ya. I think Cedric did the worst thing a Mashpee could ever do.”

Roe: ” What’s that?”

Herrin’: “He betrayed us. It ain’t like we don’t have enough problems for God sakes!”

Roe: “Damn right boy…damn right.”

“Many American Indians face a host of difficult financial and social issues. They require – and deserve – real leadership. But it appears that Cromwell’s priority was not to serve his people, but to line his own pockets. We will continue to aggressively investigate public corruption, including by those who purport to serve our American Indian tribes.”

“Instead of working honestly on behalf of the Mashpee Wampanoags as their duly elected representative, Cedric Cromwell is accused of using his position as Chairman of the Tribe to enrich himself by extorting tens of thousands of dollars in bribes and engaging in a conspiracy with David DeQuattro to commit bribery. These allegations are extremely troubling and indicate a disdain for the rule of law,”

United States Attorney Andrew E. Lelling.

Hey Wamps out there….guess what we forgot to tell you ? We’re into Genting for $700 million not $600 million.  Ain’t that something?  That was the news last night laid on our awesome Mashpee 5 and their other salaried cohorts. And guess what happened next ?  They voted to add $3 million to that ($360,000 in interest graciously withheld  until March ). Here’s how they voted.

Yvonne Frye Avant, David Weeden, Winnie Johnson, Aaron Tobey — YES

Brian Weeden, Anne Marie Askew — ABSTAINED

Rita Gonzalves — ABSENT

Gordon Harris — SICK LEAVE (Ahem)

Carlton Hendricks, Jr — NO

Let’s talk about these votes. The ones voting yes are clearly in the pocket of Genting, America’s most wanted gaming monolith and predatory lender. They just go right along…skippin’ down the path to our ruin. What’s another $3 million?  If Genting offered $25,000 at 50% interest, they would have taken it because they are so damned dumb they don’t think there are consequences for their irresponsibility. And the Tribe? To hell with the Tribe. Rita has had surgery and continues to deal with a tough recovery. And Gordon Harris…well don’t worry about him, cause he did his thing, and all bets are that the Tribe will never see him again despite the

Knees Knocking has no shame, no decency, no tribal loyalty, just regrets. That’ll teach him to condescend.Such a looser

fact that the Mashpee 5 and cohorts are still paying his salary($95K) for failing to deliver a tribal budget for 3 years, violating law. The silly ones are showing their lack of acuity and voting protocol once again. Brian and Ann Marie abstained. That means you’re not voting on the issue….but it doesn’t clear you of any wrong doing.  They think they are cleaver but you abstain if you have a conflict. And Ann Marie has a conflict yes but she wins the salary (to do nothing) cause she knows what the final vote will be in the end. For Ann Marie, it’s about the money. They both should have voted yes because they weren’t fooling anyone. The orders are still coming from Cedric through Je$$ie.  Scared as she is, her loyalty is still to Cedric, not the Tribe.

Aaron was a surprise. But maybe he’s reconsidering a run for something,

Aaron is full of surprises. We can’t even guess what he’s up to.

and getting paid.  But it’s hard to justify taking money from the bad guys under these incredibly bad circumstances.

Carlton Hendricks, Jr. — NO. Hendricks continues to sound the alarm and challenge the bad deals, but they just won’t put The Mashpee First. Here’s what the $3 million is supposed to be spent on.

$1.2 million to Lawyers for LIT (complete failure) Still owed $1.5 million

$700,000 “Soft Costs” Gaming Authority (outstanding bills ha,ha)

$550,000  Taunton Payment

$500,000 Tribal Salaries (Really? The only people who produce or work are on grants or employed by IHS).  It’s just a damned shame that during a crisis we’re spending like this.  Not even a Federal Investigation can stop the madness. We’ll see how long that lasts.

We have no words for the above graft.  It’s just too absurd. So the Trump Burn it Down on the Way Out is apparently in play.

David has several Reel Wamps T shirts versions. But this is his full screen on Zoom. You can imagine the unease it causes Our Doe Little Je$$ie.Thus the video boycott.

But there was a point in the Zoom call that was pretty funny and so indicative of how simple our Doe Little Je$$ie can be. So David Pocknett was on the Zoom  and as usual he had his Reel Wamps shirt on but Je$$ie blocked the video you could only hear him. So David being David asked why his video was cut off and of course Messy basically said the shirt caused viewers a lot of stress.

” It is what it is girl.”
