Reel Wamps

Cedric & Mark during hay day when signing the Agriculture loan to pay for the building where we won’t be able to pay the light bill in a couple of months.

When Mark Harding was tribal treasurer, guess who talked a lot of crap about his lack of accountability? Gordon Harris, the current tribal treasurer, better known now as Guy with Knees Knocking or “KK” for short. Now they’re all in the same cesspool of corruption for the same misfeasance and malfeasance that is synonymous with their names.

How about Mark Harding’s total lack of transparency and inability to provide any consistency in justifying month to month budget reports was only surpassed by KK. Harding was horrible, but KK was atrocious. News reports also verified that KK would never provide the previous month, or quarterly report of income or expenditures for tribal members to evaluate and compare.  And he couldn’t explain anything. Nothing. An INDICTMENT FOR SURE.

Accounting basics say the client needs to know where the money is going and how it’s being spent.  Harris had no control over a damned dime and answered no questions about the end game and why lawyers are being hired to try to thwart the feds. Who doesn’t know that no amount of misinformation to tribal members or spin and waste of money on lawyers is going to stop a federal investigation? It’s just such a clown show. They should give up.

So Cedric has lost at least 50 lbs. because this is not going well for him. Stress is not his friend.

And guess what? KK hasn’t given us a financial report in 9 months, which is a

The Cromwell administration made a lot of White people rich. All we own is the debt. Delahunt and his pro bono is the final insult.

violation of the constitution.  All they’re worried about it trying to coverup the abuse and theft.  To hell with the tribe.

Here we go with rats jumping ship.  Navajo Joe, quit.  He was billing over $10k a month and made millions over billing.  He leaves behind Rebecca who charges a flat fee for doing stuff that takes 3 hours at best.  And she bills $10-20k a month.

To show you how weird this is getting…. Bill Delahunt, who was fired by Genting after making well over a million dollars on the tribe, is now saying he will work pro bono.  Hell, the tribe gets nothing cause he did nothing when he was getting paid. The feds have a hellified effect on people. And they love elected and former elected officials.

Pro bono fixes nothing.

When the IRS showed up last week at the Tribal Council, well, the word spread like widfire. On fire was Gordon “Knees Knocking” Harris, the treasurer  rushing all around to get those 12 boxes together filled with all kinds of stuff for Uncle Sam. “KK” (no reference to our dear KK Lopes), was probably obsessed with cooperating in light of the fact that he also recieved a subpoena. And he was instructed to be at the council to recieve it.  Apparently the marshalls weren’t going to be rushing all around looking for him.  You know “KK” was in place.  The man has to be a wreck.  His wife, what’s her name, who also worked in finance with that damn condescending attitude is wondering how they’re going to do consulting work after all this business. But she could be in that struggle alone. Who knows?  Not so superior now are they?  On August 8, all the Tums and Pepto Bismol between Sandwich and  Boston will be gone. Yessir

But “KK” has even more on his plate.  The recall election has his name on the ballot.  His buddy Cedric

Shovel Ready & Knees Knocking will suffer the ultimate humiliation of removal from office and being just plain dishonest.

Cromwell is on there too.  First a bunch of tribal members….a lot of them, signed the

Hundreds of signatures from the core of the Tribe. The members are ready to start over and repair the damage done by outsiders.

petions to have the recall election (twice), then they have a humiliating vote to remove them from office September 15. The signatures on the petition is a who’s who of tribal families…everyone but the Fryes (accept Ellen). The Tribe may never recover from their blatant pillaging.

If the two are ousted an election to replace Shovel Ready Ceddie and Knees Knocking should be scheduled within a month.  One good thing is that the election will use paper ballots….finally a clean election. But only because it’s cheaper. But there’s another catch to the election.  Enough registered voters have to show up an hour before the election or the whole thing is called  off. Don’t ask me where all that came from. New form of voter suppression.

And poor Robbie.  He was the first to be subpoenaed in early July. He presided over nearly half of the disappearing $500m that went in and out  of the Tribe courtesy of Shovel Ready Ceddie’s  magic act…nothing here, nothing there. All on his watch. Hard  to explain.  And after he lost to Robbie, nasty Mark Harding, (with the ole bullseye following him around now), actually kept Robbie out of the office for a month while he rummaged around on the computers deleting and loading things on to jump drives etc,. etc….but Robbie let him continue in his role as treasurer. He did it to himself.

All of this unsavory business brings us to one thing that is unbelievable. The council and elections committee complained about the cost of sending out the heavy 62-page booklets to the registered voters, about $10k. Reportedly, the Cedric council members plan to pay Robbie’s personal attorney a $10 K retainer and $500 an hour. Robbie no longer works  for the tribe. He’s supposed to hire and pay for his own attorney. The same goes for Gordon Harris, and yes he works for the Tribe but so did Michael Flynn who was Trump’s National Security Advisor. Flynn had to pay for his own lawyer, not the federal government.  And as the corruption got too close, White House staff began “lawyering up” and the concern was protecting themselves from corruption would send them to the poorhouse.

Unless there’s some garuntee that these guys won’t flip on you know who…it still doesn’t make sense.  Just paying them to tell on ya…or go to prison.

But then again, this kind of flawed reasoning is what got Cedric, and Mark Harding in trouble in the first place.

Somebody hid those invisible cloaks.
