Reel Wamps

If you are not a Tribal member, what we are about to tell you will be hard to  believe.Let’s preface that with the fact that Tribal members will not be surprised at all.

Joanne (in pink) stumbled into power by fixing the 2009 election, driven by the family’s insatiable survival instinct. She is seen here proudly donning her sister Yvonne’s campaign propaganda. Notice Yvonne left her maiden name,  Frye, off the literature.

Joanne Frye, whose job title varies from office manager/Elders director and all around “Creator of Major Messes,” put in a reimbursement request for about $160 for Job Fair food she purchased with FOOD STAMPS! Jesus Joanne, you make nearly $80 K, Live in a 184 house, and you’re still on the nickel and dime hustle. It’s a disease, clearly.

It is also a felony to make money off of food stamps.  Course in  tradition of preserving the genre of  the never ending hustle, Messy Jessie Baird, the VP tried to cover it up. The Tribal Administrator wanted to fire Joanne of course….but no.  He doesn’t know about Joanne.  Joanne and her sisters threw the 2009 election that brought this nightmare regime into our lives.

The Frye’s are masters of self preservation at any cost. Any cost. The list of atrocities is a long familiar legacy for this family and honestly, this is a case of Joanne giving all the Frye’s a bad name.  But Joanne has allowed herself to be pawn of other family members, especially her sister Mean Travel Queen…. and taking the hit.  But she’s all alone on this one.

And there’s more cover up concerning Yvonne.  A Tribal member called the Mashpee Enterprise asking why Yvonne’s arrest was not published in the police log printed last Friday. She was in court after all. The Tribal member was accusatory of the paper.   The editor said that they print what the Mashpee Police Department sends them,  and they never got any information on Yvonne, not even as a logged event.  She was put in the cruiser and taken to the police department. Everyone on Route 130 saw that.

Kevin, far left , was demoted in MPD from detective to officer years ago for foolishness. That Frye gene is something. A moment of prayer indeed.

How about her brother Mashpee Police officer  Kevin Frye and  head of tribal security, has his finger prints all over this…ya think?That’ a Frye move if you’ve ever seen one…..but everyone knows.  Everyone’s always known.

One thing about Yvonne Frye Avant, she’s consistent.  The Mean Travel Queen has a temper that seems to ignite when someone does unto her, what she did unto them. We’ll tell you what we mean in a minute.

The Mean Travel Queen is a Council member plagued by domestic problems and violence. She has been on the Council over 30 years. As the longest serving member with a less than stellar record, she needs to exit.

The Saturday incident was another domestic violence occurrence. This time she backed into her husband,hitting him. He called the Mashpee cops. Well damn!

MTQ was at it again, and got herself arrested. And her sisters were frantic about getting her out of the joint. But the Fryes’s couldn’t work that magic. That’s because Yvonne was stuck in jail for the 6 hour cooling off period for domestic violence. Course that’s the White man’s law of the land.  None of that tribal voo doo that Jessie conjures up.

Just over a year ago, Mean Travel Queen broke into a tribal members home looking for her husband. Well the cops were called again and this time she ended up in court. The tribal member did not press charges but the judge said MTQ was not to trespass on the woman’s property ever again.

Now on to how Yvonne is getting what she gave.  The circumstances surrounding her present husband is a lurid tale that played out in Dino’s.  Her current husband was married then, and his wife found out about about the two of them carrying on. Well, she came into Dino’s and whipped Yvonne’s behind quite nicely….in front of the Creator and everyone.

So it’s amazing to know that Yvonne has two outstanding daughters.  It’s incredible.  Talented educated women.  What’s her problem ?

Yvonne had the nerve to send out an email to the Council saying that she would be happy to discuss it at the next meeting.  Well, the Council didn’t discuss her breaking and entering episode even after tribal member David Weeden asked  what the Council was going to do.  You may say David’s got his own stuff goin’ on …yah, but he is not on the Council.

TFL has a seedy record that has not changed since she was elected to the Council or became The First Lady. She has purposely ignored our sick people, bullied men and women relentlessly destroying our legacy as a giving, loving people.

On the Council is Cheryl Frye Cromwell, AKA The First Lady.  Tribal members were witnesses to her beating a Pequot woman on her homeland at Foxwoods of all places.  There have been other incidents of scandal in bathrooms and public drunkenness. She has never been reprimanded.

Council woman Winnie Johnson was jailed for beating a pregnant woman and recently jumped a tribal mother of 5 in front of tribal youth she was supposed to be mentoring. Nothing was done about Winnie and she has become the mascot they trot out for the White people.  She recently burst into a screaming rage at the Sunday meeting. Despite the fact that tribal members demanded she be removed,

Winnie Johnson flew into a rage after she was outed on her false campaign promise to give Tribal households $500 a month stipends. She knew that Genting would not allow her to do anything like that. As a member of the Payola Council, she is pimping us out to her Chinese masters.

she was allowed to continue like a lunatic until she was exhausted. No other government would allow these women to continue to serve on their governing body lowering the standards of decency beyond measure.  It is unconscionable and proof that Cedric Cromwell answers to Genting not us.We knew he was a bombast but this proves he’s anything but a leader.

The Tribal Secretary constantly reveals her instability on Facebook and other internet sites.  This confirms the total disregard for Tribal government integrity and worth. This is a reflection of how they feel about us.

Ever notice how your friends outside the tribe say, : “What’s going on with that Council?  Why don’t you guys do something…they’re awful !”  You really can’t say too much.

So we bare responsibility too.  We get what we get.  We allow it.  So it continues.

It’s funny until you really think about how the people who did nothing to build the Nation are tearing us to smithereens. It’s a sad ending to our storied legacy.

SRC, Messy Jessie, Tah Tah, Mean Travel Queen, Raging Mannequin and The First Lady should resign.

All the showboating in Taunton with the shovels…well that was just that. A show. The investors were back this week  with the spiel about outside financing.  Cedric has enough money to knock the wear house down.  Now even  Phase I, the Super Walmart size Asino with the parking lot, is in question.  Genting has it’s own financial issues so they were telling Shovel Ready to keep looking for underwriting elsewhere, indicating that the projects future is iffy.   And they were serious.

The First Light boondoggle has been a failure do to a lack of interest by financiers, complicated by the LIT lawsuit and the fact that a viable competitor could be a mere  20 miles away. Ya, its real.  But the ground breaking was another dog and pony show designed to disguise the fact that Shovel Ready Ceddie is anything but.

Tribal members,will be voting on the enormous budget, probably  the largest  in Indian Country per capita. They need to ask for the financial model of Phase I.

This whole thing benefits no one but him and the others selling us out.

The tribal  budget package sent to members was missing pages and was the usual unacceptable gobble de gook that a legitimate government would not have the nerve to distribute.  But who are the Mashpee to question anything?  We are shills for SRC, Messy Jessie, Robbie, Tah Tah, The Fist Lady, Mean Travel Queen (Yvonne), Angry Mannequin (Winnie) and Eatin’ off the White Man’s Plate or Me & My Fake GED (Bobby (Frye) Foster).

Cedric during the chaotic election with cousin Guy (red hat) savoring their illegal victory.

But the illegality of the process is embedded in one of the budget line items that gives Guy Cash a $68 k a year salary as the Medicine Man “In Absentia.”  This was Tah Tah’s big idea you will recall, but according to sources, it was never voted on.  And how do we verify without the minutes? Ridiculous indeed. This obsession with paying Guy Cash dates back to when Cedric stole the election and during that illegal take over prior to…he brought Guy and Bunny Lopez, the former Chief( who had resigned) in to vote.  Traditional leaders do not vote nor are they paid….but it was the beginning of the hostile take over that has brought us to this humiliating place.Guy and the Chief are nothing more than pitiful props.  Guy has been rumored to be seriously ill for nearly a decade.  We have many sick Tribal members who have been totally ignored, by the First Lady at that ! If the tribe wants to help him, they should establish a fund.

By the way, Shovel Ready was there for the White people in Taunton, but he will be absent from today’s meeting.

The insensitivity and greed is all too much right now..  Many were tricked into believing in  Cedric’s false promise.  In reality many of us are busy trying to survive in the midst of a bloated government controlled by the Fryebal Council bent on taking the last loaf of stale bread left in the pantry.

Cedric Cromwell is the poster boy for tribes that are frequently taken over by urban outsiders who are ignorant of tribal tradition and driven by greed.

The latest narcissistic self aggrandizement of Cedric Cromwell was published in today’s newspaper under the guise of a story about the historic ” ground breaking ” for the Genting casino in majestic Taunton.  It was a totally fascinating response to our previous post.  Fascinating .

It was all about Cedric’s personal struggle to bring us to this point in our history. It was all about him and his identity issues and disconnect with reality. But a big booger that discredited the whole PR piece was that he never said a word about how or when the Tribal members would benefit.

Shovel Ready Ceddie got his name because of his 7 years of false promises to break ground

Photo opt for Housing in 2013. Not another word about a badly needed service, that’s paid for by the federal government no less. Who knows what happened to the money.

and actually build something. Take the ground

The gate for the road to nowhere. No Housing  for the many Mashpee Wampanoag. Millions in paychecks for the Cromwell Administration.

breaking for a  Housing development 3 years ago.  Then we didn’t  have land in trust so it would have been public low income housing and not restricted to Tribal members. Now that the land has supposedly gone into trust,  you don’t hear a peep about any progress on critical housing needs that would help our people living in the woods, in broken down motels  and out of dumpsters.Let’s not forget the bungling incompetence and nepotism of tribal housing that lost us the important 184 federal program for first time Native American home buyers.  But of course for the few years it was operational, the Frye’s got 2/3’s of the homes. Joanne Frye,  recently elected to lead Tribal Elders, is the queen of foreclosures and  who is one of the Fye’s who got a house.

The sign for the housing project. Still there, nothing built.

You see Ceddie is not interested in positively impacting tribal members.  That’s not Ceddie’s problem.  He works for Genting, unlike Taunton Mayor Tom Hoye, who works for his citizenry. Hoye did a little tap dance around how messy the casino  process has been and you you can imagine he would have been out on his ear if he conducted himself or did business like the embattled Mashpee Chairman.  Also, why should Hoye worry?  Taunton gets paid no matter what. His beleaguered town gets new roads and infrastructure desperately needed.

Cedric’s early ineptness cost us $3.4 million ( non refundable)  in  2010 when he cut an untenable deal with the equally as foolish Mayor of Fall River for the purchase of land already  designated for use  for a bio tech lab by state.

Here’s an excerpt from the 2011 December edition of  Boston Magazine about Cromwell’s total ineptitude .

In any case, Cromwell started snooping around Fall River. Middleborough

Cedric frittered away $3.4 m in Fall River in 2010. Mayor Flanagan bolted from the deal when it was clear that the state had designated the land for something else. Cedric’s incompetence has cost us dearly.

officials claim he kept stringing them along even as he was scouting other locations, and when the Mashpee finally decided in May 2010 to shack up with Fall River instead, Middleborough officials claim they heard about it on the news. The $250,000 payments stopped and, not surprisingly, the bitterness remains: Middleborough selectman Allin Frawley says he plans to push his fellow selectmen to file a lawsuit the second the Mashpee strike a deal with some other place.

The Fall River deal fell apart in just five months, after a deed restriction on the proposed site of the casino and a lawsuit brought by a group of locals proved too much to overcome. So just months from the July 31 deadline, the tribe still doesn’t seem to have found a home for its casino. Cromwell will say only that he’s looking into sites across the area.

Back to the public relations push back and press release publication. SRC failed  to deliver to his constituents.  He was boasting to the White people in Taunton.  He said the Tribe was spending $1,000,000,000 in Taunton. Do you think that Mayor Hoye would be bragging about giving the Mashpee Wampanoag a billion dollars and say nothing of benefits to his people?  Course not.  Cedric is a damned fool.

WHAT ABOUT US ? When do we get anything? No answer

Here was one of his quotes in the  article….a direct response to our previous post.

“First Light Resort & Casino is happening, oh my god, for ancestors who paved the way to be able to stand here on our sovereign land,” Cromwell said. “I’m so blessed to be a Mashpee Wampanoag, I’m so blessed to be the tribal chairman to help lead our people to victory. I’m so blessed to be the tribal chairman chosen by our people to write our history instead of his story.”

Taunton electeds turned out…why not ? They are getting paid and we get the ham and turkey. Meanwhile, Cedric does Indian Speak and clowns about the ancestors.

Cedric cannot talk about our ancestors, because he does not know any of them. He never lived among any of them.  He never came to Mashpee every weekend with his mother because she did not come down.Everyone knows that. He did not even know about his own grandmother which is indicting.  Mashpee know about their grandmother, grandfather, great grandmother and grandfather, great aunts uncles and on and on. It is cherished. We can look on our lineage chart and tell stories about the old ones.  It is our heritage.  We tell stories about them and boast of family fame.  We also know about  everyone elses too….going back 4 generations.We know the nick names and the origin.  Of course they are slightly embellished sometimes.  As a courtesy, we will turn our heads and smile, but that is our right.   Cedric can’t say that. He knows nothing.

In our post, we talked about the stolen election that brought him to power. We talked about his getting on the roll in 2006 ( he did not know what the roll was) we talked about his phony  Indian status that is humiliating to us. All of these sad characteristics are proof that Cedric Cromwell is not worthy.

He never said a word about how any of this is helping us.  Not a word.

Showing off for the White people.

All those who are with Cedric Cromwell  cannot look us in the face.  It’s too much.

Phase 1….the parking lot and the Super Walmart size Asino food court with a parking lot would be finished in 2017.? Right…The rest in 2020.  What do you think they will do in Brockton ? They will be rolling if they get a license. The only thing for sure for the Mashpee is that Cedric keeps getting a check.

Meanwhile, Genting can only afford to invest $125 m in the Phase 1 Asino ( 80,000 square foot Super Walmart) because that’s all Genting will do and if the land in trust is rejected by the court, well, Genting is not at a total loss.

But the tribe ends up with $800 m in debt and absolutely no dividends.

So the phony newspaper  pictures of the casino continue the disingenuous campaign . And we’re still waiting for the 80,000 square foot slot dump, food court, parking lot rendering.

We do know one thing, Cedric his wife Cheryl, Messy Jessy, Tah Tah, Robbie, Yvonne, Winnie, Bobbie, and a whole bunch a Fryes are gonna get paid every Friday…and we are not….for years.  That means for 80 % of our people….the future is dark, despite what the REAL Mashpee did to get us recognized.

Cedric is ill, and is not capable of leading us out of the mess he created.

Cedric Cromwell should resign.
