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.

Cedric Cromwell and his cohorts had quite a learning experience last night.  Tribal members took them to the shed. Yes, they went “Mashpee on ’em.”  alright. It was not pretty.   All of it could have been avoided if Cedric was a true leader and did something for the people. Something.  Instead he paid selected Council members

and bought their loyalty. Forget the Tribe.  With council member in tow, well, he does whatever he wants and rewards who he wants like Councilwoman Winnie Johnson. She owes the Tribe thousands of

dollars and yet Cedric granted her “housing assistance” recently. The problem is. No one knows what favors Cedric’s handing out to his pals, but we know it’s a lot.

Cedric and Mark Harding inseparable. Get their passports.

The Tribe is paying for Cedric and his business partner Mark Harding to represent the Mashpee at the National Council of American Indians. Thaaaats right. How much  business do you think they’re doing for the Tribe? Why are we paying for either of them?

Another example.  Ramona Peters leaves her position and David Weeden is handed her  six figure  job as head of Tribal Historic Preservation? Ramona has expertise, David has no expertise in the field. None.  No formal education…ah…..  Someone with expertise should have replaced Peters, instead of a political pawn.  David was reminded last night of his blind loyalty to Cedric when he whispered his

David Weeden has lost his dignity and fallen victim to membership in the “Over the Cliff Gang”

“no” vote to the executive session and voted “yes” at the last minute. David Pocknett gave him some choice words privately of what he thought of him and told him that every time he sees him, he’s going to remind him of his new brand… “L—–F——B—-.”

Brian is learning the hard way, not to play with adults.

Another Weeden, the youngest council member Brian, was dressed down pretty thoroughly by elder Pauline Peters.  She told the otherwise chatty Weeden that he needed to talk less, listen and stop discussing things he knows nothing about.  Peters also said he does not have the education or experience to critique anything. Weeden reminds everyone that he was the highest vote-getter in the February election, but tribal members were predicting a sharp drop off in support because of his adoration of Cromwell and his unpopular vidictive attacks against

anyone who challenges him.

Je$$ie, some people just aren’t cut out to be public servants. Stop listening to Cedric. He’s making a fool of you. Take your hustle and move on.

Je$$ie was chastised by her aunt for continuing to sit on the council when she submitted her resignation in writing. A written resignation is final and cannot be rescinded according to the Tribal constitution. Je$$ie has put all council actions in legal jeopardy since her January resignation. Tribal members see it as another example of the council just doing what it pleases defying the rule of Tribal law.

Treasurer Gordon Harris took quite a lambasting.  Coward was just one of a long list of uncomplimentary names he      was hit with.  As we said, for 2 hours, he never  looked up

Anne Marie was demoralized by one of her closest friends and relative for not standing up for the Tribe and falling in with Cedric. The emotions ran very high because the administration never discusses anything  with Tribal members and has provided nothing to them for the $500m debt. Cromwell does not have a single friend among Tribal members, only the council members he’s bought.

Sometimes it may sound crazy but it’s true! We know Mashpee….

The expulsion hearings for council members Aaron Tobey and Rita Gonsalves  is scheduled for Thursday and Friday. It could likely result in a replay of the Tuesday night lesson on ” who’s the boss.”

The core of the Tribe sent Cedric and his supporters a strong message. They will not be abused anymore.

Well over 120 Mashpee Wampanoag showed up at the Council meeting tonight and refused to leave the chambers, prohibiting the council from going into executive session. The  Council voted 6-3 to hold the secret meeting to sanction and possibly remove council member Carlton Hendricks, Jr. for charges made by Treasurer Gordon Harris.  Harris claimed  that Hendricks disparaged him and needed to be removed from the council. Similar frivolous claims were launched against new council member Rita Gonsalves and returning adversary Aaron Tobey. Those claims are on the agenda for Thursday.

More in a minute….Details are still coming in!

 Being on the front page ain’t no joke. It’s embarrassing and  humiliating for the world to know that we have been duped by Non Mashpee who pretend to be elected officials

Loans to Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe halted

No news here.  Reel Wamps predicted this

Mashpee tribe’s annual payments of more than $500K to Taunton continue

Paying for land that was not historically tied to us but wasn’t  worth 1/8th of the purchase price of over $148M

Federal agency denies Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe’s allegations

We predicted that the Department of Interior would abandon the effort to find an alternate path to land in trust.  It never exhisted.

SO…Week after week, the Cromwells continue to melt down the last bit of money in the middle of  chaos. Frightened of the new members on the council which continues to challenge the moronic effort to silence them and coverup the grandest theft….they came up with a new set of efforts to undo the recent election.

On Thursday night  they will move to expel Carlton Hendricks, Jr. and Aaron Tobey.  It’s so frivolous, it again, is embarrassing to talk about but we will…because Hendricks was supposedly making fun of someone studdering, and Aaron said something about poor poor Messy Je$$ie.

“Blessed” was thought to be an advocate for the tribe but turned out to be a huge disappointment.

Well, you know how Cedric, “Blessed” (Anne Marie) Je$$ie and “I donno” Gordon rolls.  When there’s no explanation and they think they can do what they want but then again not so much…..well take a look.

Carlton & Aaron say:

Je$$ie wrote her resignation in a January 25 email and according to the consitution she is officially out…and she is.  ( But that would mean someone would have to run for that post, and Cedric can’t have that can he?), also, Je$$ie never comes to council meetings anyway, and she should have been remved based on her lack of attendance. But who the hell knows anything because there ARE NO MINUTES.  We have said for years that this is a problem….and one thing for sure, Blessed carries on that tradition of incompetence. Likewise there’s no record of the TRUMPED up accusations against Aaron Tobey and Carlton Hendricks, Jr…..for Christ sake. It’s so absurd it’s not funny any more.

Since when do they follow the constitution?

“I Donno” is angry with Carlton because he can’t explain what happened to $225m handed out by the Gaming Commission.  Now think about that for a moment.  The secret Gaming Commission slush fund.  The place were everyone had a BS title and no responsibility. The place where Genting sent money in and took it out.  The place where, lawyers and girlfiends and certain council members got paid.  Poor Cedric. His white Indian girl friend ran away, even before the money ran out. No one loves him.  $225 million dollars that they cannot account for.  Maybe the FBI will figure it out.

So emergency meeting is called to deal with Je$$ies resignation and questions surrounding Cedrics $13,000 check from the tribe to pay for his divorce or whatever and all his shell companies that are so convienient. The questions about the $225m is pretty overwhelming, and “I Donno”  can’t explain the incrdible disappearing act of all that money.

And Mr.  Corruption Mark Harding and his chairmanship of the Economic Development Committee. The guy sucks up all the contracts and does it with that sweet boy smile…yes he does. That’ going to end.

Yes…we’re going to say it.  Imagine what the Tribe could have done with that money. Imagine.
