The sad story of our Tribe is ongoing because certain Council members seem to think they can protect Cedric from a federal grand jury. That’s pretty astounding.  That would be Jessie who was knocking people off the Emergency Council meeting call last night. It’s not like she’s the most popular person in the Tribe. But that little arrogant maneuver was pretty awful. On top of that, Only Brian Weeden, Carlton Hendricks, Jr and Aaron Toby voted to remove Ceddie from the chair. The day before, the attorney for the tribe informed them that the US Attorney called to tell them about another subpoena that targeted Cedric.The “victim” of the illegal election shenanigans where Cedric took 10’s of thousands of dollars was “the Tribe.” Also in the mix is Mark Harding’s Wamp Worx, Cedric’s executive assistant Lou who apparently  had a hand in all that money circulating with Green and others. Meanwhile the paid Council continues to pretend this thing is gossip or something. The fact remains that Cedric and Yvonne were the ones the lead the push to get Glenn Marshall to resign when he was under investigation.  That’s right.and now they’re making excuses to keep Cedric, a foreigner in charge. You damn fools, Cedric can’t take care of himself right now, how can he cover you ?

Call it a red flag, a tipping point, a bad sign, or a bad place to be….. any lawyer will tell you Cedric Cromwell will very likely be indicted by the federal grand jury and arrested.  Clearly he knows that and has lawyered up.The Council officers need to do the same thing in light of the fact that they can’t produce meeting minutes, voter rolls or ballots cast.They can’t produce a damned thing.

When you’re called before a federal grand jury you really need to have a long talk with God and then zoom in his son Jesus.  The last resort is the Devil and he’s likely to tell you he don’t want to be bothered.

Messys’ loyal to a fault. The poor Tobes will never redeem themselves. No doubt she will go down with her cousin Cedric. We can’t go any lower. But maybe not. We never backed them.  Their legacy was not worthy.

Lets get to  Messy  Jessie and the subpoena demand for the enrolled members from 2011. Cedric appointed Jessie to head enrollment to the horror of tribal members. She struggled for about 8 months to figure out the  complex numbering system that assigned roll numbers put together by elders and Patty Oakley. Of course every one of the nearly 600 federally recognized tribes in this nation has their own system .  We were no different.

Hungry for power and revenge for years of election humiliation from poor showings, Jessie loaded over 1600 people  on to the rolls from the infamous ” Red Box.” These were people who did not qualify to be members. These were people who would never be members.  Jessie put em on anyway.  Tribal elders and members got off the committee because they wanted no part of what Jessie as doing.  She was on a mission to build a voter base that would keep her, Cedric, Yvonne and the paid members in power.The core of the Mashpee Tribe was out numbered by the Casino Stalkers looking to get paid by Jessie.  They didn’t know Jessie or Cedric like we do. They kept them in power, despite attempts to restore the true Mashpee to leadership.  And lets be clear, the paid Council members lead by Yvonne made sure they did whatever they wanted, lied cheated and stole our prosperity.  Course they got paid millions to sell us out. Jessie barely won her election in 2017 by 4 votes against Carlton Hendricks ,Jr. because the Casino Stalkers stopped showing up to vote. And the tribal members who knew her wanted new leadership.  But the elections were never real because Cedric had to stay in power for Genting to keep laundering money through the Gaming Commission.  Yvonne was there…on the Gaming Commission from the start.  Yes she was.

The infamous 2009 elections’ records mysteriously disappeared.  You will recall that election was fraught with fraud and corruption because we were overwhelmed by hundreds of strangers who were not on the rolls lined up to vote. We can thank Paula Peters,  her partner Mark Harding,Trish Keliinui,Joann Frye and her sister Ca for that little maneuver.  And Joann’s son Bobby Foster for  disposing of the election records.So f—-ing dumb. The feds may want to request those documents for laughs, yes indeed.  They may want to check with Bobby because that’s where this nightmare began.They cannot produce one shred of paper let alone a voter roll that can be cross referenced with the real voter roll.

Bobby Foster and his boy Dino, his aunts tight man, were the big nickel and dime hustlers…caught up in the net. Dumb as rocks indeed..

The Tribal elders went to the Bureau of Indian Affairs twice to beg for help. All tribes know the BIA.  Just because there are a bunch of Indzn working there doesn’t mean a damn thing.  Native bureaucrats hide behind tribal sovereignty too.

That was how Cedric came to us.  A stranger himself with all the baggage of a greedy outsider who wanted to play Indian, at our expense.  So here we are. And here he is with some serious consequences smacking him in him in the face. The other council sycophants are on trial with Cedric.

Some words from Glen Marshall who bore the brunt of Cedric and Yvonne’s attacks.

Glenn Marshall’s detractors are now the target of a federal grand jury investigation

..“I’ve watched them kick the crap out of the constitution, squandered over 600 million dollars and fail to serve the Tribe.  All they had to do was follow the path laid out for them.  They never consulted the elders on anything.  They violated us over and over again. Now it’s their turn. It ain’t fun.”

Below is the news story that we have been talking about for 11 years.

We’ll have to tell you what happened because there is no zoom link to allow tribal members to access the emergency meeting. We know that Cedric should resign because he has made the tribe the ” Victim” of alleged abuse for more than a decade.  Messy Jessie continues to try to protect her cousin by impeding transparency.  She is just as complicit as all the others.

STAY TUNED

$100K to take the case. The Tribe is not the target, so why are we paying?

Ben from the Todd and Weld law firm told the Tribal Council that the feds subpoenaed all the tribal financial records. The first bad sign was that the law firm charged a $100k retainer to dance with the federal government. That’s the retainer.  That’s comparable to defending somebody with a murder charge with 5 eyewitnesses. We can only imagine the hourly rate. How about $750 –  $1k.  Who knows.

Here’s one of the dumb questions from our esteemed council. ” Do we have to give them the files? Haven’t they overstepped? We’re a sovereign nation.” Response: “I wouldn’t go that far.” Translation: No, you’re going to give them the files alright. The council may try to stall for time to get everything together. The feds will find whatever they’re looking for to be sure.

So the Feds want all the Tribe’s financial records by Tuesday, June 23. The teeth grinding could be heard on Zoom. So Ben’s attempt to cheer the

Ole Running Bear might have gone too far in more ways than one.

council up was his grand announcement that “The Tribe is not the target.” Well of course not. The Tribe consists of 2600 Wampanoag who has absolutely absolutely no idea what happened to $600 million loaned to us at 27% by Genting. But guess who does? The guy who signs all the paperwork for the money transfers, contracts, orders etc., etc. Cedric Cromwell.  This is not a good thing for old Running Bear.  He can’t possibly remember every switcheroo, sleight of hand, bad deal or shady deal he made. But it’s all in the financial records. We remember a couple, like paying $3m non-refundable) for land already owned by the state. Overpaying millions of dollars for land no one would buy in Taunton.  But there’s so much more we don’t know. But we do know a lot of stuff was illegal.

The brilliant Jessie Baird surmised that the Feds were retaliating  because ” the tribe kicked their ass in court.” Ever the loyal toady for Cedric, Jessie’s dreaming if she thinks the FBI is retaliating for the court ruling.  Besides, that ruling was not the victory Cedric touted.

Judge Friedman knew the consequences of ruling in favor of the Tribe. He tossed it to the DOI. The DOI is not likely to reverse itself.

We told you that the Judge was sympathetic and was trying to find a way to keep our land in trust.  Very admiral indeed.  But it was a stretch. Because legally he couldn’t do it because he would be overturned. Judges don’t like or want to be overturned.  It is the worst stain they can have on their record.

So when the judge sent it back to the BIA as we said he might do, Cedic misleads everyone by calling it a ” victory” for the Tribe. Not so. It’s another delay on the same issue with no new evidence that our land should be in trust. Complying with the US Supreme Court is still the booger. So once again the DOI / BIA has to show through some suggested M  reference by the judge how to justify keeping the land in trust.

Cedric’s misinformation campaign is ongoing. Ole Running Bear is back in his Trump playbook. The judge sent the case back to Interior.  He’s counting on the agency writing a positive decision.  Why would they?

In the Cape Cod Times, he said, “Let’s say they write it’s positive, and it’s a positive record of decision, then we’re done. It’s over. That’s a success,”

And if they don’t, which is very likely, then what? The land could be removed from the trust.  More legal wrangling buying Cedric more time. Here’s the rub. The federal investigation is ongoing as we have seen with the subpoenas today and two weeks ago, another tribal member was called to appear before the Grand Jury.

Cedric thinks he’s going to be saved when we get a new president. Well, in that instance the FBI agents don’t change. The investigation goes on. The Grand Jury has been very busy and if there were nothing going on…they would have shut down long ago. Working this long means they could come out with indictments. And when Cedric’s record was researched, the corruption and abuse of power erupt. One  campaign official said after reading several Cape Cod Times articles, ” Wait a minute, how can he cancel his own recall election?” The response was, he knew he would be thrown out of office. He does whatever he wants.  “What do they mean they’re illegally spending tribal funds without authorization?”  He does whatever he wants because he answeres to Genting was the answer. ” How does he explain the expenditure of $600 million? Is that why all the treasurers were subpoenaed?” Probably more people were subpoenaed, was the answer. “Wow. not exactly a stand up guy.” was the response.

WAIT, WAIT, DON’T TELL ME….THERE’S MORE?

Yes! More Covid-19 money. Over $7m with a lot of strings attached. Ceddie hired an accounting firm for  $200k to explain the federal guidelines and restrictions.  That’s pretty comical considering how he’s allowed cash grabs on all the grants since he’s been in office.  Ironically they really don’t know what to do with the money.  They but they knew enough to give themselves time and a half hazardous duty pay raises…that is Cedric, Ann Marie, and Gordon.  Jesus. That’s for going into the council building.   They just can’t get enough money. Ironically they were having trouble trying to figure out how to spend the COVID money. God forbid they do something for the tribal members.  We’re still paying for all the bad decisions, misappropriations and incompetence… $300K in a week and millions more going into someone’s pocket. What did we do to deserve these clowns?

Jessie’s doctorate could be honorary which means it’s not real. Furthermore, if it is honorary, she is not supposed to use the title Doctor. But you know Jessie. So not cool.

First the light stuff.  It is comical. So, Jessie is plastered all over this flyer for the Lucy Covington Symposium as “Dr.” Jessie Little Doe Baird. Alright, so Herrin’ and Roe start their inquiry.
Herrin’: “Since when does Jessie have a doctorate? “
Roe: “You askin’ me? How the hell do I know? You know she loves to make up
stuff to be important.”
Herrin’: “Well one thing for sure she loves to cut an run when things get tough, so she never comes to work. Maybe she did it then in her free time. Don’t they hafta have some expertise
on a subject?
Roe: “I guess so. She’ll do anything to impress White people. They believe her too.”
Herrin’: “Wait a minute, lemme ask Patty about it.”
Patty: “Hi Herrin’ how ya doin’?”

Herrin’: “Hi Pat. Pretty good. I gotta question for ya. Don’t people have ta do something special to get a doctorate?”

Patty: “Ya they have to research a subject and defend it before a panel of scholars. It takes a lot of work. It’s called a dissertation.”

Herrin’ and Roe figure since Jessie stopped working for the tribe she got a fancy doctorate….maybe.

Herrin’: “Thanks. Well if she did get it I hope it’s better than that damned land in trust application talking about pine needles and the ancestors canoeing down the Taunton River to try and prove we lived in Taunton when we didn’t.”
Patty: “Well, ya know they’re pretty foolish. Gotta go. Bye.”
Herrin’: “Well people are trying to figure where she got her undergraduate degree, and the masters is a certificate of some sort. Oh well..hey there’s Minnie Ah Hah. She has an Elders Report on the Corona Virus money from the federal government.
