Genting did a masterful job of feeding the greedy who head our tribe. We are totally incapacitated and burdened with debt.
Now Genting is reportedly targeting the Aquinnah.
You may recall that a few years ago they sent Cedric Cromwell to the Shinnecocks to try to entice them into a deal. The Shinnecocks said “hell no” so Cedric probably lost his finders fee bonus on that one.
No one took the bait but the Mashpee Wampanoag tribal officers.
Genting planned to disable the people who are the greatest threat to them and state commercial gaming efforts…..that’s Indian nations. Load ‘em up with debt and get them out of the picture. Well now Aquinnah is up for the taking. If they bite, hopefully they won’t.
The Mashpee were always known for having politically savvy leaders. That went away since the “You Know Who” took over. Yes sir. Those prestigious days are gone. Course, Cedric kept trying to claim that “Mashpee” legacy. He is so obsessed that he believes his own lies. He passionately told the Sunday meeting audience that he “ was raised in Mashpee!” The Sunday crowd shouted, “ Don’t lie ! “ “Why does he keep saying that he knows he never lived here?” No Mashpee politician has ever sunk so low.
Cedric’s mania caused him to run down the isle of the high school auditorium and charge his cousin Laura Tobey Miranda. She was trying to get over a chair to get to him she was so heated. It was understandable….she had enough of him. But it was a scene. The tribal members could be heard mumbling “ This is awful.” The embarrassed Tobey’s who weren’t arguing walked out with everyone else.
Tah Tah rubs it in when they’re engaged in Email Battle. She refers to him as “Cedric of Dorchester.” Tah don’t play….she’s different for sure, but she takes that Mashpee thing seriously. And you know her. When she digs in, he’s gonna know somethin’. We have to say somebody has to stick up for the Mashpee on that Council….and it ain’t Yvonne. You know Yvonne, when people were asking her how she voted on controversial issues she said, “ I don’t rememba .” Pleading the 5th. Bet she remembers when she gets all three checks every month.
Anyhow the Council meeting was a circus and scary. Aaron Tobey is a very sick man. He reportedly had a stroke a few months ago and was in the hospital recently with blood clots. He walked into the meeting swollen and bloated. The Council told him to go home he looked so bad. He stayed. It’s not worth it Aaron.
But it got hot when Cedric found some lost strain of decency. Economic Development Committee poo bahs Jim Peters and his cousin Greg Mckinney, tried to ram through the Federal Charter again, without the changes the tribe demanded a year ago. That proposal would set up a separate tribe for Cedric and Mark Harding. Well they got Greg on the phone…..he was a little, ah, groggy or something…. Little hard to understand….any way the women on the committee had no idea what the hell was going on and said they didn’t know anything about this and claimed discrimination. Greg called them traitors. Cedric became indignant and chastised McKinney and Harding for trying to pull a fast one (ha ha).
Course when Harding saw the storm rising he hid in the bathroom. A proper place for him. The funniest thing was the sign on the bathroom door. It says “CASINO.” Calton Henricks, Jr’s., mischief.
