Reel Wamps

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.

We’re at the point where a bowl of Cheerios looks damned good.

You ever get that feeling that there’s gotta be a better way?  Like when you walk into to the Government Center and, there’s nothing but strangers and boogie men you don’t recognize.  Can’t even recognize them by family. Like invaders.  And the Pow Wow was a pretty miserable display of foreign occupation and non-Indians dressed up in costumes…….with the exception of the children and their parents. Once again most of the real Mashpee stayed home.

We need scanners that actually detect the real Mashpee, the good Mashpee, the scandal free Mashpee, and members of the 1001 that brought us recognition. Instead we’re left with buzzards walking the halls of the echo chamber looking for handouts.  ” Nothin’ left bird, nothing left.”

So now, the incompetent greedy tribal govenrnment is on the verge of collapse. The Chairman, Cedric and

Cedric ” Running Bear”…….
Yup. No more invisible cloak.

his PR crew Winnie and Peter Pan, is trying to dispell the prospect of the Feds making those moves when he knows that he made it so easy for them. In Plain sight. Plain Sight.   Like a true neophyite , he thought he was invisible. And as a sovereign government, he thought he could do whatever.  Ya okay.

Let’s be honest.  The Feds can walk onto any reservation through a 1/4 inch slit and do just about anything. Why do you think Uncle Sam has to take our “LAND INTO TRUST ?” (And Ceddie Lou screwed that up). This is federal government land. Just so you know, all tribes are camping on their own land. The reality is painful. By the way moving the LIT court case  to Washington DC sounds like friendly worthwhile territory, but does not resolve the fact that the Congress has to pass a law to get around the Supreme Court decision. Ahem. Where is that legislation by the way?

Poor Robbie, not paying attention.

But no tribe will experience the kind of devastation we will face,  resulting from

Treasurer Gordon Harris received another new name. “Guy with Knees Knocking”

Cedric Cromwell’s ineptitude and web of lies. He surrounded himself with incompetent consultants unethical staff, overbilling law firms and lazy greedy council shills who were/are clueless about the most basic elements of good government and the law. He made them think they were invisible too. But Cedric isn’t sleeping too well and here’s why.

THE GOVERNMENT IS CURIOUS ABOUT HUGE AMOUNTS OF MONEY COMING IN AND GOING OUT WITH NO PURPOSE

• Question Weakest Links– Financial Officers and staff
• Seeking Answers– Mysterious Gaming Commission, Potential money laundering, kickbacks, tax evasion, overbilling, gouging grants, and housing fraud
• Results Lots of flipping noises, finger pointing and deal cutting anxiety 
• The Wide Net Effect catches all fish and biggest fishes of all
• Remember–Tell the truth cause they have all the answers…the bank statements, phoney companies and everything else

New name for Winne that we can talk about publicly. ” The Wacky Hacker”

Oh yah Cedric, will you please tell your scary mouth piece Winnie to stop talking about hacking this website.  She said YOU could not get the IP address to do it. Boy she’s a rocket scientist. She said it in front of several witnesses. Jezusssss does she not know that hacking is a federal offense? I bet you know don’t cha Cedric? You need new friends man,really.

Well DANM IT…they did what they did not have too, and got new signatures with current addresses for the Recall Election petition for Chairman Cedric Cromwell (128 signatures), Vice Chairman Jessie Baird (126 signatures) and….and Treasurer Gordon Harris (119 signatures). The signatures meet the tribal constituional requrements (100 signatures) with certified signatures of enrolled registered tribal members.  The address issue is not part of the constitutional recall mandate but the petitioners did it anyway. NO EXCUSES.

Very interesting  is the fact that Councilwoman Ann Marie Askew, and the Deaconess recused themselves from the committee.  In other words, they stepped off. That leaves Trish Keliinui, Rita Lopez and Elsie Pocknett to decide the recall issue. Well, you anaylize the threesome determining the future of a recall election.The least credible is Trish Keliinui who has not only sold her family out repeatedly but contiues to prostrate herself to Ceric Cromwell who has robbed the Tribe of it’s traditions, integrity and ability to comand respect as a soverign nation.

Trish who has has shamed her family repeatedly has been a steadfast supporter of Cedric Cromwell against all reason. Not a Peters move. So so desperate to be relevant.

Trish also ran the 2009 election that was rife with illegall voters, and brought us Cedric Cromwell. In Mashpee, you can identify tribal membrs because each family has a distinct physical profile that identifies them.  When questioned about all the unidentifiable members in line to vote, she said, ” I got this.” She was clueless.We were over run with “pending” members who were not properly processed, or PUT ON THE ROLL and we  have been punished ever since.  The voter lists were destroyed and we never had a good election since.

Tribal members need to attend the election committee meeting and make sure the constitution is honored and we have  an election with paper ballots to let the  people speak. We need a tribal government accountable to the people.

This business with the congressional legislation to protect our land in trust is right out of the Trump playbook.  So let’s just call it what it is; distraction & disceit.

THE DISTRACTION

• THE TRIFECTA: Cedric, Je$$ie, and Congressman Bill Keating are using the LIT congressional legislation to distract Tribal members from the RECALL,  while trying  to keep the phantom casino alive so  they can spend the last $400K that’s left in the Tribal bank account.

THE DECEIT

• Shovel Ready Ceddie, Messy Je$$ie and Keating take full advantage of the fact that most people don’t understand the legislative process.  So anything that is going on looks like progress. Well, the trouble is there is no companion bill to Keating’s in the US Senate or a bill sponsor.  That’s not only bad news, it’s A BILL KILLER because the legislation can’t pass unless the same bill passes both the Senate and the House. Other states are lining up to kill the legislation. Oh, they forgot to tell you that hu?  Right D & D.  And, not only is the US Senate, run by some really crazy republicans it’s a  ” hostile” place for people like us. TRUMP has to sign the legislation for it to become law.  How bout that?  You know what he said about the Pequots.

SHADE

• Ever notice that Keating and Town manager Rodney Collins (former police chief) are the only ones
  

  Keating, Collins and Cromwell all engaged in misinformation

  ever quoted in the CCT and still hanging with Cedric. Keating said in that he was not interested in the internal battle going on in the Tribe or the $500m debt.  Everyone else in theCongressss questions it and Cedric’s mismanagement…so what’s his story?  Right. And Cedric and Collins have a bromance dating back to when he was the chief. Kinda creepy.

• The people backing this corrupt regime dismiss the debt, mismanagement and abuse of Tribal members, but you need to know that Cedric and his leadership team….still the last on the payroll, have been tinkering with the grants again.  We are $600k in the hole with grant money… a no no. But why would they care, they  just want to hang on until the last dime is spent.
• Treasurer Gordon Harris is still getting a weekly check of about $1,500 a week and has missed 4 council meetings which means he is supposed to be removed.  Cedric keeps making excuses for him.  Harris is incredibly incompetent, but Cedric has to keep him in place. Harris never recovered from the tribal rebuke when he tried to have Carlton Hendricks, Jr. removed.  It did not go well.
• Cedric Cromwell makes nearly $3,000 a week, that we know of, and he cannot point to one project or benefit he has brougt the tribe out of the $500m debt.
• The Deaconess ( Francie ) $62k a year the last of the devout followers of  Shovel Ready is still on the payroll. Good to the  last drop.Does nothing, absolutely nothing
• Trish Keliinui makes $65K a year. She’s the spokesperson for the Tribe. Ahem. She never says anything worthwhile. So what’s new eh?
• Ann Marie Askew makes 75K a year and no one knows what she does other than collect a check.

RUNNING OUT THE CLOCK AND BANK ACCOUNT

As you know Ann Marie is on the elections committee and should not be because she’s on Council.  The

Ceddie with Deaconess and her cousin Nancy. Nancy’s gone but the Deaconess hangs on

Deaconess is on there too, but apparently, the others went right along to protect Cedric and Je$$ie and keep their paychecks.  Anyway, they rejected about 103 signtures on the petitions based on addresses and other nonsense to keep the process from going forward.  Because if they authorize the signatures, the recall election date has to be set.  Tribal members are pretty adament about this recall.  Over 300 signatures is pretty hefty. Those are definate votes.  And we all know it take a lot to get a Mashpee to sign anything. But there are no rules now and  no decency in this government.  Like we said right out of the Trump playbook.  So the fight to get rid of Cedric, & Je$$ie will probably continue because Tribal members are sick of it.  Ten years is long enough.

ON A FUNNY AS HELL NOTE

Cedric is such a mess, we’re sure many of us feel sorry for him sometimes.  Well this one situation was one where….well after you laughed, then you felt sorry. Messy divorces always bring out some things you’d don’t want people to know.  Well Cedric got one of his women a boob job. Ok.  Bad part was she took off right  after it was done. Better  to remain silent and be thought a fool than speak and remove all doubt. Translation– Stuneded.

You know, there comes a time when you just have to walk away. That’s if you have good sense.

We had to post the signs that say it all.  The efforts to recall Cedric Cromwell and Je$$ie Baird were boldly placed in front of a tribal landmark, Norman Dias’s farm stand.  That says it all.  So the process of getting to the recall election has begun because more than enough signatures have been gathered for both the Chairman and Vice Chairman.  Course you know they will try to thwart it but let’s see if they really want to push that envelope. And word is Cedric told the Fye’s some kind of lie to get them back in line.  The Fryes may be ” sleepy ” but they’re not stupid. More after tonights meeting.
