Let’s just break it down.  Two things.  The meeting Wednesday morning was about keeping Cedric in power and justifying all the crazy efforts to keep the regime in place. They…that would be the Cromwellians started questioning the reimburseent of Chief Earl Mills for doing WHAT THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE BY STABALIZING THE PARSONAGE. So we’re not going to get into the absurdity of them asking if it was David Pocknett or Earl who was getting the money, because it was about them all trying to justify their total indifference and incompetence regarding their responsiblity to the Tribe.

Number 2. Tribal members have a bunch of petitions circulating that were supposed to be heard Thursday.  All to get rid of Cedric etc, etc. Well of course clinging to power is the goal, so they “suspended”  the meeting.  Its another case of the tribal members following the rules and Shovel Ready Ceddie thwarting them.  But Trish Kelliinui sent out the ” suspended meeting” notice.  Whoever heard of that?  You postpone but you can’t suspend or cancel that kind of meeting.  Anyway, at Mark Hardings house with Paula Peters leading the desperation agenda they crafted the plan to suspend the meeting.  They were all upset and  freaking out. It’s kind of hard to design an exit strategy when your entire agenda has been self serving.

Just resign Cedric and Je$$ie. Do your family a favor.

During the meeting they never got to the 3 day suspension of  Carlton Hendricks Jr, for making fun of “Big Time Indian” Gordon Harris and his ” studder”. But they  were totally obsessed with trying to get their hands on the last $700k from Genting.

Remember, this about paying Cedric’s crew not about how to stabalize the Tribe.  Just remember that.

A vote of no confidence means you’re fired.  So Cedric was also stripped of all authority to sign contracts and checks.  With no more money to waste or pay bodyguards, lawyers over billing and buying votes, the council voted 9 to zip to say Cedric is was not worthy of the leadership position.

Cedric was described as a “broken man.” If he didn’t resign he’s still defiant. Our advice is to get his passport.

Powerless.Neutered.

Normally  under these circumstances, a person would resign.  Not Shovel Ready.

But Je$$ie, Je$$ie can’t take it and resigned Thursday. No date, but she quit. Let’s be honest she was AOL the whole time. Plus she was leading the charge among Council members who were apologizing to Cedric for emasculating him…..like they didn’t know what they were doing. JE$$ie has no tribal member support. Too late for all of it anyway.

There’s more meltdown to come.  But one thing won’t change over the next few weeks.  We have $507 m debt and no plan for the future.  Thanks Running Bear. Thanks so much.

The worst dream you can have is falling.  It’s the pits. There’s no control of the free fall.  The only thing that saves you is that jerk, that wakes you up, as you try to catch yourself in mid-air.  The stolen wallet or pocketbook is another bad dream until you realize that the item is on the nightstand, all messages about what we fear, value most or the haunting of wrongdoing. Yah.

The Tribe has been in free fall thanks to the Cromwell administration. We haven’t hit bottom yet but we’re close.

The Tribe is having the nightmare. Cedric is living with one or the other every night. But as the end of the money draws closer, we have to think of the complete scam played on us by every officer and council member who voted for wrongdoing to get the paycheck. Millions paid and nothing gained in quality of life for tribal members indebted to the tune of $465m dollars.  Our roll is about 2,400 members, about 600 are casino stalkers from the red box (roll rejection ) a gift from Je$$ie Big Doe. The casino stalkers abandoned the tribe for a couple of years ago and Ceddies base has eroded even more since he fired the Fryebal Council and replaced them with a few Tobeys. Sad sad sad. We will be a landless welfare tribe running off federal programs and grants. Luckily those federal programs and employees are protected by the feds.  Everyone else  gets that tin cup we’ve talked about.

What we have failed to talk about over the last 10 years is the trail of malfeasance (the commission (as by a public official) of a wrongful or unlawful act involving or affecting the performance of one’s duties, and  misfeasance (is the act of performing a legal action, but in an improper way). These offenses have been committed by Ceddie, his officers, past and present, and the paid Council. Very little was done in service to the tribe. A decade of lies, placating and excessive spending by people who never had anything, dizzy with greed and taking everything. And they took everything from us. But that grand theft is not without consequences. To fail to serve the tribe

The LA District Attorney talks about “corruption on steroids” in the California case that mirrors the relentless abuse we’ve experienced from the paid tribal council.

and instead engaging in misfeasance and malfeasance are crimes.  Governments have been taken down and jailed for taking huge salaries and not fulfilling their duties as elected officials. In 2010  citizens like us, in a small town in California were the victims of a similar corruption. Those so called  leaders were prosecuted and sent to prison.And Reel Wamps reported on this story.http://www.nbcnews.com/id/39291038/ns/us_news-crime_and_courts/t/arrested-calif-city-salary-scandal/

The illegal acts of this administration are sweeping.  Violating tribal law, federal law, state law and any kinda law you can think of. The sovereignty the real tribal leaders fought for is designed to allow us to self govern. Instead, we wound up being abused and used by the Cromwell government to launder money (one example was paying a Genting architect $15 m to redesign the same casino 2  additional times, some estimates are even higher) and do nothing more than pay Sovel Ready Ceddie and crew to let them do it.

How about Je$$ie and tribal lawyers knowingly loading up the land in trust application with absurd claims that they knew would not pass muster.  And the proof of our status was on the record in our recognition papers with the BIA for God sakes. What it amounted to was making up some ridiculous stuff to try to get around the US Supreme Court ruling and to keep stalling to get paid. We have paid mightly for all these people with personality disorders and low self-esteem ascending to leadership roles. Je$$ie especially.  She has made a mess of everything she touched. Like a kid playing in the toilet who just won’t stop. Real leaders don’t do stupid things because they have to answer for it.  Not, Jessie, she disappears cause she can’t take the criticism or answer the questions. Her cousin Cedric on the other hand just says nothing or responds with snarky comments because he thinks we can’t do anything to him but keep asking.

Anyway.. their latest scam is to form the LLC. This allows them (the officers) to set themselves up as a separate government, in the name of the tribe, operating in complete secrecy.  Well, Je$$ie and Winnie (of all people) were running around town lauding the benefits of this venture. Like someone will believe these two are doing anything to benefit us! So, here’s the status

Je$$ie can’t get out of her own way. One thing she’s consistent about is running away from responsibility. The redeeming legacy she craved is elusive. Once again, it’s her fault.

of the collapsing tribal government.  “Genting” Kevin promised the begging Shovel Ready Ceddie that he would try to get another million dollars for the tribe right about now…wait, no, for Cedric.Keep and mind, they burn thru about $450K a month or more, after the firings. If there were the slightest chance the tribe would get a couple hundred thousand, that would be something.  But that’s not the plan, and it’s not likely to happen  All money is gone and Genting has “severed” with the tribe according to Reel Wamp sources with knowledge of Genting’s plan.

Only Cedric, Gordon Harris, and Anne Marie are still on the payroll.  Cedric claims he took a $50K cut, but with a month or so left of payroll what does it amount to? Right, nothing… a savings of $8K. They recently gave themselves raises, taking vacation pay, sick leave and the rest of the council who were laid off do not come to work anymore. Hold it.  When did they ever come to work?

So this brings us to the real purpose of the LLC.  The LLC move is designed to allow them to transact business without the scrutiny of the tribe. Even though they do it now, (and there is no record of what they do, or access to anything that may be on the record). The LLC gives them a lot of cover.  Anyway, the target is the Middleboro land.  What’s left?  About $2m dollars worth of property they (Council officers) will sell to keep paying themselves.

SRC nemesis David Pocknett is a traditionalist and the source of legitimate ridicule of the Dorchester outsider.

And you know slomething is up when Je$$ie starts claiming to worry about paying the note on the

Another Cedric nemesis  is former Chairman Glenn Marshall. Marshall was a compasionate advocate for all tribal members. Urging Cromwell to get on the tribal roll may have been one of his biggest regrets.

building (nobody uses) and the light bill.  Honestly Big Doe, you weren’t interested when you were making money leveraging the tribe and refusing to take responsibility for crack pot schemes that have hurt us.  Actually, if Cedric, his wife Cheryl, Winnie and all the rest would pay the tribe what they owe us, we might do alright for a minute.

The iorny for our tribe is that we are one of the few of First Nations that stayed on their land.Coveted land.  Land that our leaders filed suit to get back. Some of that land we would have restored to us following the 30 year struggle for recognition. We lead Indian America in Native How To and tribes were told to ” follow the Mashpee.” Oh how far we have fallen from the proud resolute people we were. Never gave up. We survived 400 years of encrouchment and ehtnic assault because we blinked allowing outsiders to take charge thinking they knew better than our own.  Well this has not worked out too well, and as we always say, don’t blame it on the White man.

You can’t have it both ways, Cheryl.

So Cheryl is now back on the payroll.  She’s got bills and a soon to be EX who could care less about helping her pay

Cheryl just can’t do the right thing. She just can’t.

them.  But why be a phony? Like we wouldn’t find out. Bad girl Cheryl.

Cheryl’s bloated salary could have gone to pay the salary of an employee who actually does something that matters to our people….Like oyster farming!.  The Cromwell administration is talking about firing the two people in that program.  One is Corey Hendricks who comes from a family with generational expertise in fishing of all types.  This is what we are talking about.  Why assault a program that will help build a workforce indigenous to the tribe?  We are fisherman.

Oh wait ….we forgot.  Cedric is not Mashpee.  He could care less. No forward thinking here.  No future in mind just greed.

Kevin Jones, the Genting rep. has a hard time telling the truth about anything. He will likely be the bearer of bad news…alone. The token.

Since September, Genting has made clear they want whatever they can recover from the disgraceful debt dumped on the tribe.  That $400m  was disclosed in a report in a gaming periodical in September. Genting was very matter of fact about it. Since we have nothing to pay back the debt, they will take the Taunton land. And of course we will have no income to pay even the most basic governmental bills.

Cedric meanwhile will offer some lame gobbledygook explanation for the end we all knew was coming.  We’ve got 5 weeks before the next wave of layoffs. After that, it’s all about Shovel Ready Ceddie and the paid council and officers who are blowing threw  the last million dollars at about $500K a month.  They are not only taking their salaries but advances on vacation pay and sick leave. None of them hit a lick of work so the jokes on us. But the last 10 years have not been funny. Cedric has destroyed us, gotten rich  Nothing like sucking us dry eh? The situation is clearly ripe for a lawsuit.

Now that the obvious is about to happen and that means Genting will stop paying for everything because we are no worth to them. Cut and run.  Worst of all, Cedric kept egging them on with his BS and a totally flawed land in trust application that had no evidence that we were under federal jurisdiction in 1934.  What made it worse, they spun the Department of Interior abandonment of our effort as part of Trump racism saying that DOI walked away because we “were not Indian.” The spin was ridiculous in light of the fact that SRC tried to mask their incompetence with racism. The story was a horrible Thanksgiving piece that only served to undermine our credibility.  Over 30 years of struggle for credibility undermined by a wannabe

Trish struggles to be relevant. So painful to watch.

desperate to hold on to power and money.Luckily it had no impact.  Oh yeah what about

Why would Cedric put our fate in the hands of DOI Sec. Zinke who is a weirdo and facing a dozen congressional investigations? Right. Did they visit in DC?

the great protest/rally in DC in the middle of November to to pressure the DOI to defend us …oh you missed that one bus wonder did you? Another boneheaded idea by Trish Keliinui.  She gets paid good money for really bad ideas.  Someone need to tell her how to build a crowd and break threw the media racket. Not that sharp ya know.

Cedric is not Mashpee because he knows nothing about us. Embedded in our recognition profile is the fact that we are the most credentialed tribe in the United States, that’s according to the Bureau of Indian Affairs.  We have more proof of our consistent participation in tribal customs than any other.  400 years worth.  Not 200 or 150 years but 400 years worth. We don’t need anyone to define our lineage or heritage. Each tribal member has documentmentation dating back 300 years. He was willing to sacrifice our tribal integrity in a very weak strategy of pressuring DOI.  That agency is in turmoil and could care less about the Mashpee debacle.  Cedric does it again.

And Cedric did not know what the ” roll ” is. He’s running what’s left of the tribe…..right into the ground.
