Another proven lie by Robert Smith and the Evil Witch, Theresa J. Nieto.
First they lower our per capita and then they mess with our health insurance then they steal from the minors and now they are adding more slots, we all thought that business was slow and that why we needed to take a cut.
If it is so slow how can we afford more machines when the ones that we have aren't paying for them selves.
It's just a big head game that Robert Smith and his fairy tale wife,Theresa J.Nieto are playing with the membership.
This also proves that they are natural born liars, corrupt,no good for nothing crooks who will cheat the PBMI out of every cent that they can.
Every dollar that they steal makes them look good to the people on the outside and makes the Tribal Members look like the real bad guys.
For everyone's sake get these lying bastards out they are destroying your Tribe one dollar at a time.
I wonder how much got kicked back to Rob and Theresa N. for these new machines.
Wait...the casino isn’t making any money because people aren’t gambling that’s why we had to lower percap and can’t afford to pay for our health insurance. But we are going to spend money putting in more machines that not enough people are playing.??? Either the ones running the casino have no business concept or we are being lied to??? Maybe rob and theresa need to come up with another lie/story why the tribe is having money problems cause the same old story about the casino not making a profit month after month is not holding up. We all know the casino is doing well and the reason the tribe has no money is because rob and theresa are taking it all and using to much of it. They rig the elections because they can’t risk another chairman or treasurer coming in and having access to everything and seeing what they have been doing for all these years. They would be done if they lost their position’s on the EC so they will do anything to keep them.
That may be true 9:58 but that doesn't mean that we have to put up with their lies and bullshit.
That is one of the reason that they keep lying to us,
they know that they can get away with it because of his followers, which are mostly families that have kids enrolled that don't have the blood line.
This has gone way to far and will not get any better as long as Smith and Nieto are in charge of the finances.
Just like Nieto she give out money to different places
that have nothing to do with the Tribe or doing business with the Tribe.
I just heard that the PBMI donated some money to Cruzing Grand in Escondido where she and her family go on Friday evenings with their old car they have.
That why there is no supposedly money for the Members.
THAT IS ALSO ANOTHER REASON WHY NO ONE CAN TAKE PICTURES OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT THE MEETINGS.
But everyone thinks that the EC are their God and would never intentionally hurt or harm the members of PBMI.
The current EC are a bunch of greedy son of a bitches.
They all get good money siting on the EC plus their per capita they all make bank.
I wonder if they are paid out of the the economic
development fund to avoid taxes.
THE IRS needs to Audit them big time.
Plus all they can steal from us.
Some how ,some way they need to be held accountable for the corrupt ways.
Another warning for you all.
The Pala Tub has become a meeting place for undercover cops and for a meeting place for Rob to due shady business with some of the illegal drug drop off spots
and some of his gang friends from the outside that come to the Reservation upon his request to silence some of the people that he wants silenced, so watch out hanging out around that tub area.
Also there are numerous camera's at different area's on the tub building and from the inside pointing out.
One even points to Mario and Luanns house that even has a sound attached to it so he can hear anything being said on the inside of morro's house. and another is pointed at Toby Ravagos daughters house i guess Robe hopes to capture some glimp's of the girl that lives there.
You guys lost me on this one. You said they were going bankrupt and disenrollments we’re gonna happen. And the natives in the tribe were gonna get cut off like the rest of us and that we were gonna go by direct descendants like pechoncha wtf. I been lied to again. Maybe you guys all work for rob and whoever comments you guys send in for disenrollment. Lies on here lies. The casino puts in more slots and is gonna close hmmmmm who was the retarded ass people that said it on here ????
Probably one of your relatives that has a brain and can see whats happening here in the tribe.
Smith never told the GC more slots were coming. It's his own deal. He never got approval for the expansion. What are people supposed to think when they hear economic hardship, per capita reduction, and hard times a'coming?
The way the EC tells it there's no money and business is way down at the casino. That must be why they need more slots? Then they can say more cuts because there's no one playing the expensive new slots.
Most Pala people are under Smith's thumb. They get money because they support his corruption. So they all lie out of both sides of their mouths. That is what is retarded.
What is more retarded is the fact that the GC is fully aware of the way the EC lies and does what they damn well please even if it hurts the members of the tribe.
That's really sad that the GC won't stand up to the EC and demand answers.
All the EC wants is to secure their pay and don't give a shit what is right for the tribe as a whole.
That's why they keep wanting more power from the GC.
The current EC is nothing but corrupt people that were thought to be a good fit when they were seeking election to sit on the EC.
Everyone of them made promises to do the best that they can to better the PBMI as tribe and once they were voted in turned their backs on the very people that they promised to protect.
That alone should raise red flags that even a blind person can see.
So nothing can change for the better unless the current EC is changed and a new EC takes the bull by the horns and stands up to Smith and Nieto and takes control of the finances of PBMI.
Stop all the donations to people that have nothing to offer our tribe.
Make it like it used to be that any and all donations over a certain amount must be approved by the GC and not the EC.
Make it to where the GC makes all decisions at the Casino when comes to spending a certain amount on anything that involves the security of the tribe as a whole.
STAND UP TO SMITH AND NIETO AND DON'T BACK DOWN BECAUSE OF TREATS AND PER CAPITA CUTS.
You all voted to give to EC the power to do certain thing, so vote to take it all back now before its to late and everything is just a big dream that once was.
It doesn't matter who you put in charge if you have the say about whats going on in the tribe.
It doesn't matter if they have any degree from any college or business school.
As long as you have the say so as the general membership.
Make the move now don't wait.
If it takes an impeachment of the two who are ruining the tribe then so be it.
Just do it and end all of the bullshit and bring back the customs and traditions of the Band the way it should be.MAKE OUR ANCESTORS PROUD AND DO THE RIGHT THING THAT THEY FOUGHT AND DIED FOR.
More slots for the Casino and more sluts for Rob.
WTF, now the Pala EC has suspended all loans for Tribal members until further notice.
I guess they need more money for slots that no one will play.
Or they over spent again and need they money to cover their asses, AGAIN.
If you members can't see whats going on then you can't blame anyone but your selves for this problem.
Why ? because you are the ones that are letting them get away with the bullshit that is causing these problems.
It seems like every meeting is about how bad things are
or evicting someone from the Reservation.
why does smith keep letting his nephews get away with not being evicted for their terror on the Reservation
it seems like it's okay for them to break into homes and steal from people or get high and do whatever they please.
They are not even tribal members of the PBMI, they were adopted by smith's sister and don't have any pala blood to be enrolled.
They are more than a direct threat to all the people living the area as well as the Pala Reservation.
They are non members and should be kicked out of Pala.
Remember when the banished that other guy Denna someone from the reservation, well now he is living in Germaine
Meranda's old house which is a tribal home down by where smiths daughter lives.
Germaine, who passed away about 2 years ago was Donna Lavato's daughter.
How could the EC let him live in that home after being banished from the reservation.
That house is an assignment, not allotment. He has no right to live in that house. WTF Robert, by all rights and LEGAL that home is to go to an ENROLLED Tribal member on the waiting list. You can't pick and choose what Federal and Tribal laws you want to implement like you did with Bonnie Diaz.
I think i will move to Pala because it seems to me that non members have more rights than members. where do i sign up for the next house?
I have never been evicted or banished from your Reservation, does that mean that i don't qualify for the next house.
I think that Dena and Rob have a bond of some type between them.
Don't know if its political or sexual.
I just heard some encouraging things about Robert Smiths latest health issues.
All i can say is prayers do get answered.
He is failing big time and his lifespan is just got a little shorter.
Diabetic's with shingles, along with blockages in the main arteries don't go very well.
Can't do no surgeries because of blood thinners being taken he would probably bleed out from any type of surgery.
He is home for now but maybe his new home will be at
Berry Bell in Fallbrook.
He better start praying for forgiveness.
Yes indeed but he dosen't have that much time to pray for forgiveness he would need at least 6 months to mention all the wrongs he has done to be forgiven for.
I can hardly wait for the day that we see a Hospice
Nurse parked at his house.
Mike Lucio says he moving in and driving all the vehicles
that smith owns.
Just think of all the Tribal members that should also be praying for forgiveness for not doing the right thing when they turn their backs on the disenrolled and did nothing to the EC doing what they did.
That to me is just as bad as voting for the disenrollments.
And also the people that have kept quiet on the crimes that they witnessed being done by Robert and his brother.
So try to produce a deposit and you're going to realize that you will get a lot of exclusive free spins. If you are curious to know more about Casino, here you can get more information about it.
Hey Oliver Smith, we don't give a rats ass about your posts, so go start your own blog.
We are come on here to discuss how we were harmed by Tribal corrupt leaders.
And one of them even has the same last name as you.
So good buy and get off of here, please.
Just like I thought! This is where whiners come to cry about all the bad things that happen to them because the Chairman is a criminal. I was wondering how come it just keeps going on and on. Now I know. It's because whiners want people to feel sorry for them. If they do something about it then they don't get the sympathy anymore.
You get no sympathy from me. You all had plenty of time and opportunity to get rid of the source of your troubles. No courage. No motivation. Just whining. Maybe someday outsiders will get fed up with the crime and corruption. They'll come in, clean up, and take what they want. Then you can whine about that too.
In real news, Pala has cancelled their summer pool party event. Now-canceled events include a “Caribbean Days” pool party on July 14, a ’90s pool party on July 28, and a “Polynesian Days” pool party on Sept. 22.
https://www.pe.com/2019/07/05/pala-casino-spa-resort-cancels-remainder-of-themed-pool-party-events/
Pala keeps trying to catch up with Pechanga, Harrahs, but as long as Robert Smith is at the helm, Pala Casino and Resort will be cursed with lack luster promotions and dwindling revenues.
Pala continues to chase the competitors by running their "New Member" buffet promo, adding Class II gaming, trying to compete with the "hip" local casinos with their "exciting" pool party, etc. Isn't it a matter of time until the Casino goes bankrupt? Will the new management be able to turn around profits or has Robert Smith, Teresa Nieto, and those in positions of power put the casino at too much of a risk?
Speaking of the Pool Party, you can see why they cancelled if you look at the lackluster response posted on the P.E.s website. It looks like it cocktail time at the Octogenarian Club. https://www.pe.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/RPE-L-PALA-0712-PHOTOA1-1.jpg?w=863
Wow!! Did you feel the earthquake in Pala? I don't mean the Ridgecrest quake. I mean the Pala quake that occurred when everyone realized that Roberts days are now numbered. What is everyone going to do when big daddy is no longer around to make every decision for them. That moment of realization caused the ground to shake at Pala. Yes change is coming. Robert is done. He will continue to do as much damage to the tribe as possible with the time he has left. In the end the mess is ours. So who is going to be the next big daddy. Just the thought starts the ground swaying. All the crooks will be looking for direction because without Robert they will be going broke and their luxurious lifestyle built on dollars stolen from us will come to an end. UNLESS they can find another Rob. So who will they be looking at? Tony stab you in the back Ravago or Non-Indian Jimbo? Maybe it will be where's my pills Kilma. Without Rob's protection Andrew is dust too so that won't happen. The smith girls are already the walking dead so no help there. Who will the crooks want? Who will the BIA crooks want? Who will the San Diego District Attorney want and who will local congressman want? Scary things and they are coming. Will the Pala people stand up and make a clean sweep of everything and create a new day and new life at Pala? Oh hell no. They will still need a big daddy so they won't have to make decisions. With Rob's condition maybe a year but usually four months at the most. So panic Pala. He will be gone. What now? What then? All the casino crooks already jumped ship. The BIA crooks have to be in panic too. What a blessing and pleasure it would be to see Amy dipshit go to prison. Hear she ain't doing too well either. Maybe we can get a 2 for 1 special and put her and Rob in the same box. We would have to declare their gravesite a hazardous waste site. Still, there is the question of who? Who will the next leader of Pala be? Please pala people don't read this post at the same time. The mission couldn't take the shaking as you face the fear of having to select a new big daddy. You haven't made a real decision in over 30 years. Maybe we can just get Rob to appoint his successor and forego the election so we don't have to suffer going through an honest election and possibly electing an honest tribal council. Honest government is now beyond our imagination.
I pray that this is true and the end is near for Robert Smith.
Then we will have to focus on Nieto and make her go buy buy, and for Tony Ravago who made it his mission to lie to people to get the votes he needed to replace Howard Maxcey is turning out to be just like Maxcey, a two faced liar.
How do people get the balls to go families and lie to their faces to get votes and then once they are in make an about face and do nothing to help the families that voted for them.
That should raise a whole bunch of red flags as to the honesty of that person who shows that he/ she can not be trusted.
The entire EC should be impeached and a new EC elected in.
But with all the chicken shit members in Pala that will never happen so the day by day struggle of life goes on and nothing changes.
You can blame anyone you want to blame, be it one person or all 6 of them for the problems in Pala but the real blame goes directly on you, the members that sit and let it happen, you are the real problem thats causing all the hate and corruption on your Reservation.
And until someone steps up and starts the action to clean house nothing will change.
Even when Robert Smith is dead and no longer in control how about all the people that he has trained to be corrupt still sitting on the EC.
They will continue to screw the people because they see how easy was for Smith to cheat and steal from the Band.
Either way i do hope that Robert Smiths days are numbered and soon will become single days he has earned his star in hell and Satin awaits his homecoming.
Everyone's days are numbered. Smith's has been in critical condition since 2013 when he had stents inserted to bypass arterial blockage. Honestly, there has never been a plan for transition of power. Smith and Nieto have to stay in power to prevent disclosure of their corruption. If Smith dies then Nieto takes over. Pala members will welcome a smooth transition of power with no interruption of income.
If that bitch takes smiths place i will disenroll myself.
We don't need anymore outsiders running our Reservation.
Well this is probably the closest to Rob's pending exit story that may be true. Someone overheard Jimbo saying that the doctors told Rob that there was nothing else they could do for him. jimbo mustg be freaking out. He will be disenrolled and he should be made to pay back all the per cap he has received. He knows he has been stealing from the tribe and without Rob to protect him it will only be a matter of time. The tribe should take his property that he claims is his. Everyone knows that he is just holding it for Rob. Either way the land should have gone to the tribe.
Same thing with Cindy Leal. Her days are numbered too. The time to move out non Tribal people out of homes that belong to the Tribe that did not follow the proper procedures to remain such as Denna living in Germain's home which is an assignment not allotment. Not only is he banned he's a known tweaker. Odd how many homes were taken from enrolled Tribal members, some torn down, drug houses still standing that should've been torn down. But yet nothing is said or done about Cindy and Denna.
It's not odd at all. If you expect the Pala EC to follow tribal law then you will always be disappointed. If Smith doesn't like the law he changes it. There are two versions of the law; one version has been certified and approved by the BIA, the other version is made up as it goes along in order to benefit Smith and Nieto.
Smith needs supporters and has hundreds of Pala Members enrolled just to prop up his corruption. The number of members is higher now than it was before 164 Britten descendants were disenrolled. He removed a voting block that opposed corruption and brought in a voting block that is happy to be getting per capita because no decent tribe would ever enroll them.
When the Pala Constitution was approved the requirement for BIA approval of membership was removed, and the Pala EC was appointed the Enrollment Committee with the authority to create its own Enrollment Ordinance. This wording is vague and ill-defined because the tribe should determine enrollment not the Pala EC. It is all part of Smith's scheme to usurp the authority of the GC.
Pala members trusted Smith because he promised tribal gaming and per capita. The reality is that Smith was indoctrinated by Howard Dickstein into believing that as long as tribal members got some money, Smith was entitled to take what he wanted because he made it happen. That is how it happened and now the Smith power block is entrenched and he lies all the way to the bank. Well not really the bank; he uses offshore anonymous accounts to hide the cash he has stolen. He also has lots of real estate investments paid for with tribal funds. Include Pala Interactive in the list of revenue generating investments paid for with PBMI funds from which Smith benefits.
If Smith is really that sick how can we stop his being
laid to rest in our Cupeno Cemetery.
And i know for sure that he is very sick and even has a hard time getting out of bed,
It is said that he has to do a good amount of meth to even get his day started.
He is not as smart as some people think he is if he is doing meth with all of his health issues.
But hey let him meth his black soul out and go to hell
where he belongs so Pala can try and get things back to where we should be.
Let us prosper and become the Tribe that everyone looks up to again.
Let him rot away so the Elders of the Band can see that everything wasn't lost by his corruption.
Let him die for the good of the Band then we can clean up the Tribal Roles starting with Cindy Leal who started a lot of trouble within the Tribe.
Get her and her kids off the Pala roles.
Then go after Jimbo Goodpasture and his kids and grand kids who should have never been enrolled.
Then bring back the Britten family that was a target for Smith and Nieto to shot at because of the hate for Willy Pink and King Freeman.
Lets all face the facts, Robert Smith and Theresa Nieto have done nothing good for the PBMI except put PBMI in a big hole that will take years to get out of.
The sorry part about it that the general membership let it happen by giving them the power to do things and to use against the Tribe to hurt who they wanted.
They have tricked the membership into believing that what they voted for at the meetings was the right thing
to do and they added certain things to the motions after the vote so they could service their own agenda.
It's time for them all to pay for the hurt that they have imposed on innocent people to serve their own agenda.
I don't like to say bad things about people because i don;t like to judge anyone for their actions, but in this case i can not hold mt feelings in side any longer.
Just some idle conversation at a house party over the weekend was that Smith and some of the EC members were heard talking about taking some sort of action against
someone named Albright for being a direct threat to the Reservation.
There are only three people with that name living in or near Pala so not sure which one they are targeting.
The one that lives on Magee rd is to old and uses a wheelchair to get around so i doubt that it is him, unless he was speeding down magee rd. in his chair.
How about evicting the Smith brothers, Teddy and brother
who are not enrolled Tribal members and live in a tribal home that belonged to Robs sister that has passed away a few years ago.
These two brothers are nothing but trouble makers and break into peoples houses and steal what they can.
They have no regard for anyone in Pala and they should be banished from the Reservation without question.
They were adopted by Smiths sister and have no ties to Pala whats so ever.
They have been in and out of jail for many tears and they are a direct threat to the people living on the reservation as well as the people in the area of the Reservation.
Why are allowed to do as they please in Pala.
They have broken into the Pala store at least 3 times and get highj and stand at the pala park trying to harass the traffic and the citizen of Pala.
Also Teddy Smith like to hang out at the school and harass the students and have caused the school to be locked down at least twice.
But their Uncle Robby still lets it happen.
Just take them and tie them to a tree up in the moutains with no food or water and see how long they can last before the rattle snakes or other wild live take them down to bare bones.
Why waste good tax dollars on useless trash that will never amount to any thing.
Same goes for their asshole uncle Rob.
they need to fine JR lavato he took a d.n.a. with Cindy Leal ,he got the results back,no match Cindy is not a lavato,take JRs perCap,he is breaking federal law,and Trible law.
Go to a meeting and make a motion 4:02.
There are plenty of members that would back you up.
sounds like you are not afraid of the EC and that's what we need.
And yet JR wants to run for the Chairman seat again.
The people would have to be really crazy to vote him in as chairman again.
Remember when he moved the Tribes money to another bank without even getting the general councils approval.
No way he should be the chairman for PBMI again.
He gave the results to the EC but the EC said that they lost the paper work.
Rob and Theresa are afraid of Cindy because she might go postal on them being Bipolar.
Maybe Mel could get a copy of the results and give them to someone that will use them and not be afraid to stand up and kick her and her non member kids out of Pala and make them pay back all the money that they have taken under false pretenses.
And maybe give her house to one of Denna's kids to live in.
Why don't someone invite the California Governor to meet with all disenrolled,our e.c.wont,maybe this would be a start.I don't know how to do this kind of stuff.For all tribes.
Get a petition with as many signatures as possible requesting a meeting with the Governor and send it him.
The petition doesn't only have to be pala only.
Go and reach out to all affected Reservations and collect those signatures also requesting a special meeting/sit down with the Governor for the purpose of the compacts and getting answers as to why the State will not step in and help the people getting abused by the corrupt leaders
of the casino tribes.
Request that the state do an Audit on the Tribes with
mass disenrollments.
When the Tribes signed the compacts they gave up some of their sovereignty rights maybe there is a loophole that we are overlooking.
The State has no power over a tribes right to conduct teibal gaming, that is a recognized federal right along side the right to determine tribal membership....the Governor cannot do anything.
There must be a state approved gaming compact I'm order to participate in tribal gaming in California. The tribe must abide by the IGRA. The tribe must make payments to the state. The tribe must file income statements to verify that payments are in the correct amount. The tribe must provide verification that Casino employees meet the standards of the California Gambling Control Commission. The state can shut down gaming if there is sufficient evidence of violation. Most often offenders are fined because a shut down has severe financial impact.
Mel.(jr) wont do anything)he is afraid of his own family.
The IGRA is a federal law that makes tribes and States work together to come up with a negotiation, that is all. All the regulations are federal law, the states only power is negotiating in good faith, if they dont then the tribe can make them by taking the case to the federal government who will side with the tribes because of the Supreme Court case Cabazon v California, which allows tribes the right to conduct gaming business so long as the State offers the same type of gambling. All of the bullshit the State tries to put on tribes is actually going against the Supreme Court ruiling, but because Congress panicked and passed IGRA, States think they can bully tribes, but the reality os the exact opposite. In fact, if States fail to negotiate with tribes and still practice gambling, the federal government will automatically side with tribes due to federal law....so fuck the State of California.
@ 2:52 AM,
I don't really think he is afraid of his own family.
I think he is waiting for the right moment to do something. Maybe like running for the Chairman seat again
then using this action to show the people that he is honest.
I seen him beat his drunk father one time with a coca cola bottle and split his fathers head open at a house across from where Mel now lives, where the Cupa culture center is.
I believe that's where Shirley and Chester Kolb lived at one time after they got married.
He hit his dad so hard with that bottle that we thought that he had killed his own father for sure.
Mel is crazy and unstable for sure.
Even the Navy didn't want him but they took him anyway.
What does his asshole and the dead sea have in common?
There both filled with dead seamen.
You make the Britten look awful.
Why didn't Robert knock Germaines house down,where her husband killed himsef in that house.I guess Robert had nothing to hide.
Ya Robert knocked down the house where Brad,Trujillo,was killed,with in two weeks.
Because there was evidence of his and his daughters involvement in Bradley's murder and he wanted to get rid of it.
How much did Rob pay Anthony Boles to shoot Bradley ?
And how much did Rob pay Anthony Boles lawyer to defend Boles of the charges against him.
I am willing to bet that the weapon use is hiding in Robs garage in some special spot that Rob keeps his treasures in.
How much evidence of other crimes against Rob and Andrew are in that big garage being hidden and also some paper work showing crimes while in office concerning the PBMI.
Time to get a search warrant Mr. FBI.
Don't call the sheriffs in VC because they will call Rob soon after your call.
How can so many people support this pile of pig slop?
Are you all that dumb to believe that he is a good honest person with your best interest at heart?
Every living person living in Pala knows that he is the evilest person ever to step foot on the Pala Indian Reservation and yet no one will due anything to stop him.
He has your family members murdered, kicks out your friends from the Reservation, steals your money, bad mouths your relatives, disenrolls your family and friends
and you all just sit there and take his bullshit,WHY?.
At the very least one of you should get him alone and kick the living shit out of him.
He can't fight his way out of a wet paper sack so why do you let him get away with the shit that he does?
Someone better do something before to long because he is about to destroy another family with a lot of family members and disenroll them.
If you all let this happen then you are no better that Robert Smith or Thesesa Nieto and you can and will live with the outcome of their evil and corrupt ways.
Good luck, because it is coming real soon, sooner than anyone excepts.
What family is it,is it yours or a close friend of yours
or you neighbor?
