Cedric goes down, Genting walks, and we are devastated

The Department of Justice contacted Mashpee 9 attorney Jonathan Polloni Friday, February 22 to tell him the case was moving forward.  The Mashpee 9 essentially said that the 2009 election was fraudulent and they wanted the federal government to investigate it and to monitor the 2013 election because they feared the same fraud would occur again. Well clearly  DOJ nor the Department of Interior formally monitored the election. But Polloni wanted to send up a flare. It was a flare of Titanic proportions. Everything that was done, every nasty letter from Navajo Joe, every reasonable request denied, every election committee resignation  and illegal vote was forwarded to DC and Nashville.  Every reappointment of the sister-in-law as chair of the elections committee, every false and irresponsible move of the ballot box after the election….was sent to the authorities so no one could pretend they didn’t know what was going on. All evidence of a lot of shady stuff that no one could stop.

We won’t even get into the humiliation of Robbie Hendricks. The attempted cover up of the fiances has begun.  15 accounts.  Marge is the treasurer.  She made that clear. She also knows a forensic audit will reveal all misdeeds.

Here’s what relentless looks like. Genting and their man Cedric Cromwell continue to take advantage of a tribe that had no internal control of their out of  control government.   No land in trust, no legitimate tribal court with enforcement powers, just a panel of scared uniformed overpaid outsiders controlled by a bunch of lawyers that keep gouging the Greeters of the Pilgrims. This is what happens to tribes when the outsiders take over and are not accountable to the core members.

It’s not like DOJ is a big fan of Genting, the Tribes owners.  Genting is under investigation all over the US for corruption.  Cedric the Overseer, signs the contracts.  Harding was dipping in Housing and other federal appropriations made by the Council he sat on. You better believe the Feds have already drawn a bead on Harding and  want to know where the $47 million went. Well it went to a lot of overpaid lawyers.  It’s called over billing.  Richard Oakley said if he were elected chairman he would investigate and demand a refund of the millions in overcharges for blatantly bad legal work.  Cedric allowed it. He has no choice. Hundreds of thousands dollars in legal fees charged for wire transfers and for work on the USDA loan on the so called “government center.”  Totally unheard of.  But it’s a glaring abuse laid out for Federal investigators to see.

The Chinese gaming giant is famous for hiding behind vulnerable tribes and using them to gain  gambling footholds and big profits.  But Genting is not absorbing little tribes like it used to. That’s because of their horrible reputation. But they own the Mashpee thank you Cedric Cromwell and Mark Harding. Harding’s brought a lot of unwanted scrutiny with his consistent wrongdoing. He became a huge liability.

For those who say Harding’s defeat was ” proof that the election was fair ” don’t understand how entities like Genting work. They do whatever it takes, and believe me these guys are a cheap date.

The only people Genting cared about was Cedric and Marie Stone.  Stone was the red flag.  Even she didn’t believe she was re-elected, neither did anyone else.  Marie was reaching out desperately to everyone for help with her campaign and got a cold response.  Marie is very very smart….she is also very volatile and knows a lot of very damning information.  To push her off the reservation would be fatal.  When Marie began to worry about her poor record keeping of the minutes that lapsed for over 6 months at one point, Cedric told her ” Don’t worry about that.” Well she did and was looking like a pack mule bringing minutes in to be approved 10 weeks at a time.  It was crazy. And it made the other Council members very uncomfortable because it was impossible to do.    Genting couldn’t let Marie lose. She would go off to brood and eventually spill the chowder. You can believe the Feds will ask for all the minutes.  No audio taped minutes ? Not good.  No record of government action. Let the lawyers explain that.

Cedric the Overseer….well he’s their boy.  Anyone who really thought that they would be an acceptable replacement is dreaming or on hallucinogens.  Genting would do anything they needed to do to keep Cedric in place.  To hell with Aaron and Mark who is serious ” baggage”.

Now the the rest of the election debacle is unraveling ….lending more credence to our sad state of affairs.

If Cedric Cromwell was elected chairman, isn’t Robbie Hendricks the new treasurer? Noooooooooooo according to Cedric, Mark Harding needs to hang around and TRANSITION for 90 days.  So we have two treasurers. It’s a constitutional violation.  The transfer of power is plain and laid out in the Constitution.  There’s no transition.

They don’t want Hendricks to bring his technical guy, and  outside auditors to look into that Tribal Gaming Commission or $47 million. They don’t want him ordering Drula (Navajo Sue) to give him the keys and signature cards, so he can be a real treasurer.

Hendricks doesn’t even have an email address. But if Hendricks allows this to go any further, he’s failed to do his job. Allowing Cedric and Harding to compromise you is pretty bad. The tribal family should take note of this outrage against him.  Does nothing matter? Is Genting on the tribal roll?

Are we all that  pimped out ?

It’s going to take 90 days to cover up all the mystery money that is everywhere. This is the beginning of the stash the cash game, and they aren’t even trying to disguise the money shuffle.

Funny when Harding came in he assumed his post the night of the election as he ran around changing locks and shutting down genealogy to cover up their dirty deeds.

Now he’s hanging on to try to hide years of bad business.

Robin Tobey Stamps  resigned from the elections committee saying, “That shi_  ain’t right, I’m outta here.”  So whatever is going down with Navajo Joe and Kimmie Frye has to be off the chain.  Robin is head of Indian Health Services so she probably doesn’t want to  be part of anything shady.  Being a federal employee and all, well it just isn’t worth it.

Scrutiny  of the Tribal elections has made everyone suspicious. Law suits, questionable membership practices

Hot Mess !!!!

make it worse.  It’s like a pressure cooker around there. Anyone connected to the membership process and the election process is under the microscope.  Jim Peters tried to escape his role as membership chair and the questionable add-ons under his watch. The regime wouldn’t allow it.

But Robin is well liked by Tribal families and is employed by the Feds. She broke camp.

This morning, a locksmith was over at the executive office trailer. He was there to either lock Bobby Foster out or allow Cedric to barricade himself in.

Stay tuned.

Lately, Brooke Scannell has been a mighty scarce highly paid FLAK .   They trot her out when Navajo Joe and the Regime don’t want to talk to reporters about their overwhelming incompetence and general madness.

Kimmie Frye is reportedly babbling, “ I just do what they tell me to do. It ain’t my fault, “she says.    It’s good to know she’s on top of this election.  Navajo Joe told the Mashpee 9 that Kimmie and her committee will no

Shredder on overload at MWT

t be dictated to by “a third party.” Navajo Joe meant, basically that they don’t answer to the people. Ironically the Navajo boast in ad nauseum  that they are “Dine” ( “The People).Fascinating. Oh yah, Navajo Joe also said Kimmie has no conflict being Cedric’s sister-in-law. How Republican of you Navajo Joe.

When reporters called yesterday, everyone was busy at the shredders, and taking equipment to their cars.  So Brooke and the million dollar lawyers drafted a bullsh- – statement saying the Constitution prohibits election monitoring.  Constitution?  What Constitution is she talking about? Surely it’s not the one the regime has consistently violated for the last 4 years.  Is that what you’re talking about Brooke? Ohhhhh.

Come on bird !!!!

The simple fact is that the Election Committee can authorize election monitors.  The chair has the authority to require ID. The Council spent hours screwing around with the passage of an ID ordinance when Kimmie could have done it through her committee.  That’s what they’re for. But the Council usurped their authority and eliminated their autonomy.  Jesus, that process was painful.  The Council is requiring Tribal ID to vote. That’s okay, but you need other forms of acceptable ID like hunting licenses, driver’s licenses, passports, state and federal ID’s with your picture on it.  Many of the indigenous Mashpee do not have tribal ID’s because they don’t want to pay for one, or can’t afford them.  These people can be identified by Patty Oakley or someone who knows 500- 600 members on sight.  Kimmie is the only one on that committee that can eyeball members. She may have amnesia if they’re not voting for her brother in law.  The others can’t tell one family from another. The Casino Stalkers are the ones who should have ID. Now they changed it again back to no ID’s.  What the hell?

The Casino Stalkers are ineligible to vote anyway.

Let’s be honest folks.  Navajo Joe and his girl, the new tribal administrator (Navajo Sue) have effectively taken over the Tribe at the most critical levels. To keep their jobs they have to keep this lawless crew in place.  We have paid dearly for the Navajo Way.   We’ve had enough.

The Emergency Meeting was a sideshow beyond comprehension. Secretary Marie Stone became “Tah Tah” before your very eyes as she proclaimed that she was the “Senior Adviser” presiding over the  meeting.  Whatever that meant.

It was hard to understand what Big Brother Almighty was saying .   He was mispronouncing peoples names and seemed confused.   The circus like atmosphere prevailed as Marie reigned over chaos.

Even Aaron Tobey was having trouble making any sense.  Observers said they all sounded screwy. All under serious duress.

Anyway, BBA urgently pushed his redo of the Gaming Commission fiasco.  He made a huge mistake by trying to change the ordinance that determines how many votes you have to have to pass an ordinance. As was the case so many times before, he didn’t have the votes to change anything. Nor did they post the ordinance ten days in advance…but he proceeded anyway.  He didn’t have any choice with Genting and all the lawyers on the phone and in the room insisting that it was all legal.

So he pushed the Gaming Commission redo through without the proper number of votes and will do it again next week in a regular meeting sometime next week. It will probably fail again.

For Laura Tobey it was too much.  Too much rampant wrongdoing.  She said she would have something to say to Genting about the whole mess.

Meanwhile Cedric flew out of the meeting and  had his flack post more misinformation on his rapid response medium.   The Tribal Facebook page.is his new campaign site (along with the Mittark and the Tribal website).

It’s not like anyone believes what you say anyway BBA.
