You know things are bad when the Tribal Council has 3 lawyers, paid $60k to defend the forced effort to vote by mail and fight the will of Tribal members. Council member Aaron Tobey filed suit in Tribal court saying that the election committee and the Council violated the Constitution by doing so.
In Court, the lawyers for the election committee (4 out of 5 are Fryes) argued that COVID demanded it and that the committee and the Council were covered by sovereign immunity. In other words, they can do whatever they want because they’re the government.
Here’s the problem. When a judge starts asking about Constitutionality, that’s a red flag. The Tribal Constitution is supreme. The fancy lawyers clearly became anxious. Chattering on about sovereign immunity and COVID. Ironically, the state of Massachusetts was declared OPEN Monday. And you will recall during the 2020 election, at the height of COVID, Americans had the option of voting early, in person, or by mail. But they had options that were safe and secure
We have no options. The vote by mail is not what Tribal members want for obvious reasons. They don’t trust the Fryes, the collection, counting or validation of the mail ballots. And why should they?
Missing in the court hearing was a very important fact. The committee hasn’t told us how they plan pull off a fair election. Because they can’t survive a fair election. How do they prohibit counterfeit ballots, secure the ballots when they arrive, validate tribal membership and registration on and on? Who is going to watch them? More Fryes?
Mail in ballots is a pure victory for one family in this Tribe and their candidates. It’s voter suppression. The rest of the Tribe will not vote by mail, and if they do, there’s no way ensure that their vote is going to be counted. And the committee is not trying to do the right thing. Another fact. They cannot set up a valid process in one week.
Judge Amanda White Eagle is waiting to hear more from both sides. She has to decide if she’s going to delay the election with an injunction, or let it proceed. Again the election process is so flawed and corrupt, there’s no way a fair election can be carried out in a few weeks. The US Justice Department is all over us about the previous 2 elections and here they go again. Her decision should come next week.
This case will determine whether Mashpee will shine or become a memory.
MORE CAMPAIGN NEWS
Council members Aaron Tobey and Carlton Hendricks Jr were on National Public Radio in a story about our controversial election. They were discussing the request for injunctive relief from the Tribal Court and Tribal concern over the mail in ballot method lack of integrity. There was also a lengthy story in the Cape Cod Times earlier this week about the election court case. It expressed the same concerns.
Well Paula Peters was carping on social media about putting Tribal business in
the mainstream media. Apparently she prefers to coverup and the continuation of the reign of corrupt leadership that she brought to power. She wasn’t concerned about news coverage a decade ago when declaring her passion (and unrequited love) for a former Tribal Chairman in the Cape Cod Times … embarrassing the hell out of all of us.
Okay then she went to the Rod & Gun Club to the ham and bean supper and was asked by a couple of people why she was there. Well, that tells us a lot. She put that humiliating moment on social media….why we don’t know. Message sent, not opened.
MORE SUBPOENAS ON THE WAY
The infamous Gaming Authority continues to be under scrutiny by the Justice Department. The tribal black hole for hundreds of millions of Genting dollars is another Frye conclave with troubling inferences. Amazingly, one of the stars of
the clan is a candidate for Treasurer…that would be Charles “Bobby” Foster. He was also scrutinized by the FBI. Bobby has held nearly every job in the Tribe without a shred of qualifications including the Gaming Authority. Most recently he landed at the Tribal Court which was hearing a case that could affect his candidacy. His legacy of skullduggery is endless. He was constantly on the run from the state for failure to pay child support for his many children. He is the foreclosure, and “repo ” king loosing homesteads and numerous automobiles. The money from the 2008 Pow Wow mysteriously disappeared and the side eye went to Bobby. His girl friend at the time reportedly told people he was layng on the bed throwing the money up in the air saying, ” I’m rich, I’m rich.” Bobby has trouble writing a coherent, complete sentence. His emails were the brunt of jokes because no one knew what the hell he was talking about. It was so bad, he forged a GED certificate and didn’t give a damn that the Council members knew it was a fake. The election records of the infamous 2009 election debacle mysteriously disappeared. We know the reason behind that family matter. So all that stuff he’s talking about on social media was clearly written by someone else because he in no way knows anything about anything. The Fryes need cover in the Finance department and that Gaming Authority for real, so Bobby is it. But Bobby has been on the FBI radar. With those guys, you’re never out of their sight.
