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.
