“Wassa matta with you boy ? Just pay the fisherman

It’s tough enough without the tribe working against you.

You know, it’s not like we don’t have enough problems.  The Council is shut down, perhaps to mourn the loss of their cult leader Cedric Cromwell, and then maybe it’s just the usual incompetence.

But the tribal fisherman, about 30 want their money.  Now we know where the problem is.  It’s so sad that we have lost all semblance of decency and respect  for the men (mostly) who fish for a living and have been hit hard by the COVID.  Their restaurants and other markets are virtually shut down…so what does Mr. Gordon Harris do…he won’t pay the fisherman their $800 in Cares (COVID)money.  Course Denise is in there being messy and mean.

Pay the fisherman.Being decent does not cost anything.

What the hell is goin’ on ? The random and unqualified jump ‘board

So we have all these people trying to qualify to run for all the officers posts for all the wrong reasons. So, we’re so damned tired of the bull s—, the same bull s— you’ve heard, so we’re going to break it down. Let’s leave chairman out for a minute and focus on the other three officers seats…Vice Chair, Secretary and Treasurer.  So match the foolish reasons with certain candidates who are running.

“I can’t stay on the council if he is Vice Chairman”

“”I ain’t working under her.”

“I’m gonna get someone to do the books for me.”

“She ain’t tellin’ me what to do.”

Now look it.  Not a damned one of these women has the credentials to run for anything. Let’s just say it. So are they running for  a check, to keep their families on the dole or whatever ? They do not represent the smart Mashpee women of years past who looked forward to a future of promise for their people.  It is a damned disgrace that they offer shallow weak justification for their candidacies.

The beautiful, “sassy” Mashpee women who played a major role in our, federal recognition, survival and progress. Anne Peters and first cousin Hazel Peters Oakley were members of the family that lead the Mashpee Wampanoag to federal recognition. Their dedication to the Tribe reinforces the prominence of women leaders among indigenous American people.

Where’s Hazel? Where’s Mrs. Stella Hicks? Where’s Amelia? Where’s Mrs. Mable (Pocknett) Avant?Where’s Mrs Emma Mills? Wheres Aunt Nelly, Where’s Aunt Dart? Where’s Leona? Where’s Aunt Vi? Where’s Mrs Marion( Peters) Hendricks? These women candidates don’t even know who these women are. What they need to know is none of them would stand for this outrageous behavior.

We are a people who trace our ancestry back to 1620,  And we have continued to survive despite the odds.  Clearly these candidates don’t get it.

We are at our weakest point and have very few who will stand up to Genting and understand that our land in trust situation is UNCHANGED. We are in limbo.

Okay, so what is their plan to get our land permanently in trust ? Oh oh okay.  Do you hear those damned crickets?.

One more thing about the LIT casino blah blah…

Genting owns us lock stock and barrel.  If they build our casino on their property in Taunton (as planned), all the profits from the casino go to pay off our $750m debt. YOU GET NOTHING. They will keep paying you know who who continue in the Cedric Cult.

We are still under the scrutiny of the Department of Justice.  Apparently some

Mrs Mable Avant epitomized the Mashpee Wampanoag spirited demeanor…always challenging and humorous.

people don’t understand that.  Genting is a predatory lender that has a  long track record of abuse among small Native American tribes.  But that check is a very sticky bait cause it comes with jail time.  Ask Cedric. Where the hell is Mark Harding?  He robbed us so bad it makes your eye water. Herring Pond my ass.  Look at ” Knees Knocking'” Gordon Harris, gut spilling all over the place. Look at Robbie Hendricks…a wonderful guy destroyed by Cedric’s BS.

And we’re going into an election run by  women from one family  who have absolutely no idea what they are doing…and don’t care.Just want to get paid.

Simple election day vote by drop box is the way to do it where everyone votes and sees what’s happening.

The Justice Department s watching everything don’t forget,

 

 

 

Meeting canceled, Council chaos continues,Tribal members POed

Maybe we got a reprieve.  But it was short lived. The Council’s so called leadership, is still in turmoil. They are trying to get off the Council or hang on to get a check.  You can guess who among the officers wants the check. And they are

Together recently, Paula and Cedric Cromwell continue their political alliance. Staying in power through their chosen candidates is the goal. It was never about the Tribe. It was about power and hundreds of millions of dollars that never touched us.

still taking orders from Cedric and Paula Peters, the desperado.  Poor thing. Shes trying to hang on to the Mittark payday….and she’s running candidates tied to the Cromwell Cult…  Brian Weeden, Marie “Tah Tah ” Stone, Winnie Johnson, Anne Marie Askew to start.  Can’t you just see them presenting a plan in Washington for the tribal economic sustainability or land in trust ? Painful.  A certain person could do it in “the language” so no one would know what he was talking about.  Ahem.

Tribal members are tired of the Council mess, personal feuds and now an upcoming election where they are being forced to vote-by-mail. It’s another illegal action that violates the Constitution and tribal members are pissed because they don’t trust the corrupt crew running the election. They say that their ballots will be thrown away if they are from the wrong family. You can’t blame them….

If they won’t follow tribal law, how can they run a  fraud-free complex vote-by-mail election? Currently they are facing lawsuits for their random, illegal establishment of the mail in ballots.  And the experts will tell you anything can go wrong with mail in ballots. The main problem is that you have to identify voters by signature matches and bar codes so they don’t vote twice. In a small election like ours, nine times out of ten you will know the person voting. The election committee oversees the election and counts the ballots. That’s another problem. They are all one family, you know who.  They are not functioning according to law because they are short a member. Anyway, they  see those signatures. So who’s watching the election committee chair Francie, the “Deaconess” (Cedric’s Executive Assistant and confidant)? What if she decides to thrash ballots? They pick the election monitors who watch them.  Because Tribal members don’t trust the Cromwell Cult, they say that their ballot will be thrown away if they are from the wrong family. That’s the first thing tribal members say.  Remember the stress the nation’s state election officials were under? Now is not the time to experiment or try to throw an election, through voter suppression, especially while they are under federal investigation for the last 2 elections.

The Members want the option of voting in person and via drop box.  The drop box method was presented to Jessie Baird months ago and she rejected it outright.

The 2021 election has been a bootleg, cobbled together mess that has triggered justified legal challenges. A self aggrandizing Vice Chair is not longer interested in exploiting the title of VC and the Treasurer is a flip flopping clown who  has violated the law by hiding 3 years of illegal spending.  It’s one hell of a hole to get out of.

 

Course the Council didn’t know.  It can be done safely, in person or by drive up drop box. They can control the outcome of the election with vote-by-mail, yes they can. That’s why they want it. They control the counters, the monitors and the process.  Why have the election at all?

So let’s tell the truth.  The Council Cromwell Cult were so shook up by Cedric’s arrest and indictment they abandoned the election timelines that prepares the candidates to qualify and give the members time to look  over the candidates.  THEY DID NOTHING to comply with the election laws that span about 3 months for qualifying, campaigning and the distribution of the Election Guide where candidates tell us why they’re running. We do have a process for our people to decide who they want to lead. Most of us know that process well. But Cedric’s regime was so freaked out,  they didn’t give a damn. and waited months to start the qualifying process.

So here we are.  Members are pissed off because they have no idea who’s running or what’s really going on.But they have an idea of who the choices are. And it will become plain soon enough. Every family has a role in what happens to us.  You either choose people who can get us outta the ditch or you keep looking for a check. The Cromwell Cult Candidates don’t seem to have  what it takes to get us out of the ditch so we need to carefully evaluate candidates.  The clock is running  and you better choose wisely. We can’t vote for people who can’t help themselves let alone us.

UPDATES:

CEDRIC–Cedric told Indianz.com that  he wanted  to be a Deputy Sec in the Department of Interior.  Really? Do you think Cedric would survive the US Senate vetting even before his indictment. It’s so absurd it’s not even funny. On the more Godly side of things he’s now trying to become a minister by going to theology school as he awaits trial for bribery and extortion. We wish him good luck. Too bad he did not have that “Come to Jesus” meet when he was a “Big da Popa” pimp selling us out to Genting. Prayers Cedric.

Gordon : Damn Gordon!  You won’t make the finance department pay the fisherman $800 but you can take

Gordon is just a mess. He spends the COVID money that he has not earned. He’s short 3 budgets. Is he hiding illegal expenditures?

huge COVID money and plunk down big money for 2 brand new cars. Wow.  Our people need their money! Apparently you don’t get it. Sign the checks Gordon, Jesus.  Just so you know, nothing happens on the Cape that we don’t know about.  Mr. Sandwich.  What people of color live in Sandwich?  Mr. Eddie Amos usta say, “When you go to Sandwich, you betta bring your box.” You damned fool the people of Sandwich abused us more than anyone else. Stealing our land and more. They despised us. Gordon, Gordon, Gordon.

 

 

 

 

 

 

More chaos, more spending, more reckless disregard for Tribal law

Tonight’s Council meeting will reveal the kind of chaos that reminds us that the Tribe needs new leadership. It’s also clear that Cedric and Paula Peters are still calling the shots.

Je$$ie is exiting faster than usual claiming that she can’t do the zoom tonight  because she has “to work.” When has she ever worked? Okay.Oh by the way she uses her personal zoom for Council meetings.  It’s so ghetto…unreal.

The agenda is to hand over another $50 K to the Weld law firm ( we already paid an enormous $100k retainer a couple of months ago) to deal with the 5th subpoena.

We should pay around $5K – $15K for this add on.

Next they want to sell off a part of the Middleborough land.  That’s all we have for any economic development or a casino.  Why would we sell any part of our land? That land has historic ties to our Tribe….unlike Taunton.

OKay, Cedric asked the Council to pay his legal fees.

We have a pretty good idea of  what they will do with the $50K to Weld  and the sale of  land in Middleborough. Cedric needs his lawyers paid.

We don’t know what they really do with any money because we have no budget or true expenditure of funds. The corruption runs deep!

That’s what we call transparency.
