Ami Admire is running for Assembly Delegate and seeks support.
From https://adem.cadem.org/ :
"The California Democratic Party Bylaws (Article VI) provide that an Assembly District Election Meetings (ADEMS) be held in each of the 80 California Assembly Districts in January of each odd-numbered year to elect 7 “self-identified female” and 7 “other than self-identified female” to be Assembly District Delegates (ADDs) to represent the Assembly District they are registered in. These elections are open to all California Democrats.
AD delegates vote within CA Democratic Party on behalf of the community they represent at CDP Regional Meetings, the California Democratic Party Convention, and those who are also elected to serve as an Executive Board member are responsible for voting and representing their community at the semi-annual E-Board meetings."
I am also running for the Executive Board!

1 – 200 of 204 Newer› Newest»Does any one have any information about possible re enrollment for Margarita Brittan descendents?
Nothing will happen until robert is out. We can give him all the evidence in the world and he can just keep saying “thank you for submitting but we have a preponderance of evidence to show other wise” although he will not show that preponderance of evidence to anyone so nobody knows what to look for or show to dispute it? Why would he not show his preponderance of evidence you ask? Because he has none!! Many MB descendants have gone through the BIA documents in Riverside, Sacramento, and D.C. along with Freedom of Information Act requests and they haven’t found anything that can’t be easily proven incorrect so I highly doubt robert has ANY little own a preponderance of evidence to show MB blood degree is lower. ******For any enrolled Margarita B. Descendant at Pala please contact “sstaley@palatribe.com” the tribal enrollment specialist and let her know you would like to look at your enrollment file. You can request to look at it in office. All documents robert is using to determine your blood degree for Pala should be in there and so should the preponderance of evidence that he uses to determine MB was 1/2 that is claimed. If there is only the stuff originally submitted by you or your family then that should be what Pala is using to determine your degree. If there is nothing then take it to the enrollment specialist and let her know “there is a mistake with your blood degree” you were going through your file and after looking through it everything states MB was 4/4 full blood so your degree should be higher. If there is something you do not recognize or that states MB was 1/2 then compare that to other document to prove it’s validity or it’s superiority to other documents. Here is Pala tribal enrollment specialist contact info which you can also get by contacting the Admin.

****Judging by how they act or what they will give you access to will let you know but as a tribal member you have rights to look at your own file and see what’s in it****Pala should be using what’s in your file to determine your blood degree so if there is nothing then you inform them this is what your blood degree should be or they provide disputed documents to your file and add them to it.
I tried that and the lady said i would have to put in a request through the chairman and he would have to approve the request in order to see my file.
Just like the BIA, when i requested my request for a
CDIB they told me that they were not issuing any at this time and that it would have to be requested and signed by the chairman of the tribe.
They can’t deny you access to read your own file. Why would the Chairman have to approve that? Maybe because he is hiding something or knows if a MB descendants sees their file they will see there is nothing in it to support the change in blood degree? Now all you believers that the disenrollments were legit answer that.
Where is everyone ?
Planning.....don’t ever think this will end until the wrongs are righted. :-) there are several options although one is out of our hands.
The disenrollments were like 10 years ago. Isn’t it time to reevaluate them. I think they should be looked into. It’s a huge sore spot in pala. I personally think they should be reenrolled. We all should be United and on the same side.
You don’t understand, Robert can’t re-enroll even if he wanted too. Pala can’t afford it. The tribe is running pay check to paycheck. Robert and Theresa have invested and squandered our money. They straight up told us 2 years ago when they announced at the meeting the accounts were empty and we had no back up money so they need to lower percap first of the year, then they made us pay for our own health insurance. Also when all the casinos closed last year Pala was the only casino to not pay its employees some thing and they are the only tribe to lower percap right away. Like I said Pala runs paycheck to paycheck thanks to Robert and Teresa they had to take out loans just to keep up since there is no more reserve money. We have Pala Interactive online gaming in New Jersey but that doesn’t benefit the tribe at all even though we paid for it.
This is how we all know the elections are rigged every two years for Robert and Teresa to stay in power because there is no way they have the confidence of the majority of the tribe with what they have done. We all know the truth will come out eventually it’s only a matter of time I believe that won’t happen until Robert passes away but Teresa will still be alive and she will be the one on the hook. Once the tribe is able to see all documents bank accounts and statements everything will be in the open and they will have a lot of answering to do or should I say Teresa will because that won’t happen until Robert passes or the FBI does what they’ve been trying to do.
When I opened any gaming club on the Internet, I immediately went to the online casino tournaments section to inquire about the prize pool and game conditions. If they were fine with me, then I joined and enjoyed playing, but most of all I participated in tournaments and played in online casino https://jennycasino.com/casino-bonuses/ , so they turned out to be the richest, and sometimes the prize pool was withdrawn, and you must agree that it’s a lot of winning money that you have to fight seriously.
The only way renollment is if some one gets fed up and takes smith and nieto out, and i don't mean to dinner and a movie.
That's what will have to happen or if they get voted out, which we all know that that will never happen.
Voted out? If the elections when the are up for re-election were legit? Every other position on the EC seems to have turnaround and new people voted in every couple years except nieto and smith?? I doubt they have the trust and backing of the majority of the tribe when the people sitting in the other 4 positions don’t when they get voted out. Something fishy but because they control the elections and they post office where the ballots are mailed into there will never be a fair election for those two.
How is Pala doing ?
Lot of people dying. Some COVID related, some natural, some maybe not so natural.
Has anyone else tried to speak with Stephanie about looking at your Pala membership file?? How far did you get? I’ve been trying to set up a time and date to meet her and go through my enrollment file but no luck so far. I am an enrolled Britten but my blood degree was lowered when robert and nieto disenrolled so whatever they used to change my blood degree should be in my file. Then again I think that’s why they make it so hard in letting you come in to go through it because I will find nothing has changed. Or at best they added some hearsay document that they know won’t hold up. I’m still trying but if anyone else was able to I’d like to know if it’s just me or everyone? I brought in more paperwork for Stephanie but she just says this will be added to my file then I receive a letter saying thank you for submitting documents but your blood degree is correct as the tribe (meaning robert) has substantial documents to support the correction. Then when I ask for copies of those documents for my records or to come in and see them they say they can’t give out copies (really??of paperwork pertaining to my own family) and I have to be approved to come in to look at some (not all) of my paperwork as “some documents are for private use by the enrollment committee”. What the f-ck does that mean? You can’t show them because then your secret will be out that you lied about Margaritas blood degree. I know many members don’t care as long as they get a check who cares what’s going on with the tribe but even those ones can’t be that blind to see something fishy is going on with all the secrets and money issues we have been having for several years now. Why wouldn’t robert just show our family whatever he used to lower the blood degree, if he has substantial proof then pass it around instead of just saying you do. Everyone knows he is lying but doesn’t speak up about it because it doesn’t effect them. Well having him in power effects everyone because we should be getting a lot more in monthly and bonuses but because he does who knows what with the tribes money Pala is living pay check to pay check.
I suggest you get a DNA report and see if your blood degree matches your Certificate Degree Indian Blood issued by the BIA. If it does, then Margarita Britten's was full blood. If it doesn't, don't tell anyone.
Also, if it does, then suggest that all Britten descendants should be reevaluated based on independent DNA testing. Not testing by the EC preferred corrupt lab.
What The !!
The BIA hadn’t changed Margarita B. blood degree as they have her listed as full blood still. They can’t change it because the Assistant Secretary of Indian Affairs made his “Final Decision” I’m the 80s that after extensive research they conclude MB to be full blood CUPENO. Then the Assistant Secretary at the time of the disenrollments looked at it and kept her full blood so our CDIB’s still lost are correct blood degree of 1/8. Other tribes have MB descendants enrolled so the BIA can’t change her blood degree and then for all her descendants because one tribe meaning Robert wants it done. Problem is Robert won’t except the BIA determination or CDIB and keeps saying his records show differently.
I want to ask why do several other tribes enroll some members using MB blood as full blood??? and ONLY Pala has her as 1/2??
Is the BIA, Assistant Secretary, Morongo, Torres-Martinez, and other tribes all wrong and ONLY Pala is correct on the determination of MB blood degree???? You all know that’s wrong and now Robert had even cut out the BIA and had his own tribal enrollment specialist who is also his personal assistant to determine blood degree for enrollment in Pala. By doing this he can disregard the rest of the world and all those documents to enroll only who he wants and use which documents he chooses to use. They are even using affidavits from people stating so and so has this much blood or doesn’t have this much blood and using those and not actual official documents to raise blood degrees for enrollment.
****I’m asking all PALA FAMILIES to please gather all your families and other families documents you may have and SAVE them. Once the elders in each family who know the truth of Pala’s people passes on Robert if still in office may start to disenroll the ones that go against him or to save money like he did with Willy Pink and Kings family.
We ALL know Robert and Theressa don’t have the backing of the majority of the tribe to keep getting re-elected time after time. They have raised blood degrees to enroll more supporters and fake the elections. There were almost 200 people disenrolled and we have the same amount of enrolled members we did then? How is that possible?? There hasn’t been 200 new babies with qualified blood degree?? Robert replaced the numbers with his supporters. Why do you think percap didn’t go up after saving all that money from not paying those 200? Because he knew he was going to have to keep paying out to his newly enrolled supporters. Ask the elders in your family and they will tell you where the enrollment line should end for certain families and you will see those families kids, grandkids and grandkids kids in some cases are enrolled. We have all seen certain members grandkids running around Pala and who were never enrolled and NOW they are enrolled all the sudden or the ones who claim they found more blood in their family so their kids were able to get enrolled. I don’t think so. Where was this other blood before Robert’s enrollment specialist started to determine blood degree for enrollment.
Sorry to get all this out but seeing this happen here in Pala makes me blow up sometimes to see it happening and everyone going along with it or just ignoring it. My how things have changed even from the early days when the casino was around the first few years. Things were good and hopeful. Where did it start to go wrong? I still believe it was when we voted on term limits and Robert had his lawyer come in and tell us all it was right so it was overturned. I still believe that’s when Robert realized he could lose his position by a simple vote and he started to cha he things. Then when Willy Pink and King started asking too many questions at meetings and following up on everything he did so he had to shut them down. Im done venting now and I hope I am wrong about Pala’s future and change comes.
Every word in the above post is true, including the reason that King and Willy were banded from going to meetings and voting on anything.
And everyone is acting like little bitches hiding under the table so Robert and Nieto won't get mad at them.
You all know that King and Willy didn't do anything but you all just voted to get rid of them instead of doing what was right for the tribe as a whole.
Smith is acting just like Donald Trump did.
When he doesn't get his way he changes things to his own agenda to stay in power because he knows that when he is finally out he will be in jail.
So all those that are supporting him and Nieto are all subject to the same treatment that King and Willy got, BANDED......................
We all should have rushed the Admin years ago before this shit got out of hand and took back what was ours and not Smiths or Nietos.
Even business people in some towns have told some members how smith goes into their stores and buys thing using thw black American Express Card to buy things for his personal use like furniture for his home and his daughters homes, even new vehicles for them and no body gives a rats ass about anything except that little monthly check that smith and nieto give you.
Funny how someone starts talking about turning a senior and wants to be the president of senior club and then someone dies.
Those people who ruled to disenroll need to undo the curse They put on the tribe. How much more pain and grief do they want to cast on their own families,
WHAT R U TALKING ABOUT RIDLER !!??
Look who’s dying in Pala and what families theyre from.
Sounds like 10:09 has eaten to many scrambled eggs and now has a scrambled brain issue.
It doesn’t matter who in Pala is dying just that there is obviously a problem that’s not being addressed. There are murders, Over doses, drug raids, shootings, a record number of addicted members and descendants but there are no emergency meetings being called? But when a group of tribal members gets together to talk about Robert and Theresa’s abuse of power and how no one can get on the agenda Robert calls an emergency meeting to punish 10 members and take away their rights to attend meetings, vote, or run for office. What’s up with that?? Tribal members asserting their rights calls for an emergency right away meeting but murders, cops raiding houses , OD’s, and addiction doesn’t qualify for an emergency meeting? Oh I see because one is against Robert’s authority and that can’t stand not in Pala. Our kids can OD, get shot, have the neighbors house get raided (one was actually robs daughters house) and nothing is done but the minute members try to discuss robs authority it’s a level 1 high priority emergency tribal meeting? Does that sound right to anyone that’s not a smith lackey?
Robert’s butt hole started to pucker when he thought he was going to be taken out of the chairman seat. He’s a joke. I can’t stand him. The above post is correct. Robert only cares about having control. He’s made so many enimies in pala that he’s scared some new chairman will come after his family. I’m much younger than Robert and he won’t live forever. Can’t wait to see him out of that seat. It’s going to happen. There’s no way around it. And I’ll be there with a big smile.
Happy Easter Pala !!
Pala will probably reinstate their disenrolled first since that chairman was only able to lower the blood degree so the disenrolled still have a lot of family still enrolled and many enrolled members had their blood degree lowered because of it. Those members will want their blood degree put back and their family back in the tribe like before. Either Robert will for some reason do the right thing and admit there was a mistake made or he passes and the tribe can freely look into the disenrollments and make a decision. It’s only a matter of time and smith knows this but he seems not to care for some reason most likely because it is benefiting him in some way not having those extra members enrolled right now and when he goes he must not care about his family leaving them behind to suffer the consequences of his actions against Pala over the years. Or he isn’t worried because by then he will have enough support to pass on his seat to a family member that will keep the status quo. How you say, well like some have said he has been building up his base of members over the years by eliminating 170 something spots to replace with his supporters who vote. This plan is still in effect and he will either disenroll or lower another families blood once their elders have passed so he can remove another block and enroll his people so in the next few years he will control a majority of the voting tribe to pass any ordinance he wants and pass on his seat to keep things going his way with all the vehicles and things his family has that they shouldn’t be able to afford with supposedly the same percap we all get. Ya right they obviously has access to more funds than the rest of us. We all see Pala has been changing over the recent years and it will look more different in a few more. The meeting’s have already been looking different with new faces, well my Pala people get use to seeing more new faces at the meetings. Think about it most of us around Pala and the ones that live in town know each other and how they view Pala. There is NO WAY smith/nieto have the faith and backing of the majority of the tribe and people we all know. They are staying in only by his newly enrolled members and their families that back them since they or some of their family is benefiting by smith allowing them to be enrolled for votes.
The Pala Band of Mission Indians = THE BIG LIE.
Thank you for the BONUS E C
What bonus ?
That was just one tenth of the interest on the stolen funds from you by your so called leaders over the last year.
Is that what that was ?!
CUPA DAYS !!!!!!
That really goes to show how much the leaders of the Band care about the health and well being of our Tribal community.
Robert Smith and Theresa Nieto should be banded from Pala for being a direct threat to the community for allowing this type of thing to happen with this covid pandemic
still not in full control.
May be someone that has it will hug smith and nieto at the Cupa Days.
Cups days presented by the pala band of luiseno mission indians
Haha Cupa days not cups days
The only “immediate threat” is to the lies of Smith, Lavato and Nieto.
Does Pala Tribe know that they are paying for Steve Eagleton and his whole Department along with his tractors to work on his yard all week ?
Yep its pretty common for Theresa Nieto to pay her brother and his sons to clean his own yard with the tribes money.
“The information presented was incomplete and led to the enrollment committee to come to an uninformed decision. As a result, the enrollment committee/elected council is heartbroken that you and the others have been put (through) this ordeal and we intend to make matters right with all members that were affected. We are terribly sorry for the actions that we, the enrollment committee/elected council have taken in this matter up until now and especially the ordeal that you have endured. We hope for your forgiveness and look forward to your return.”
When is this letter from the Pala EC going out to the disenrolled tribal members? Are they going to admit they made a mistake and a decision was made without all the proper information? If so it wouldn’t be their fault if they were misinformed.
Leroy Miranda has been bust spouting out on Facebook. He says the Cindy Leal needs to finish her adoption papers. No surprise. What is a surprise is the find of the marriage documents of Silverio and Merced Nolasquez IN MEXICO. Whats that you been saying Mel, same mother different father? Well how about no relation at all. Miguela Owlinguish was 5 years old when Merced was born.
Somebody needs to tell Chris Nejo that he is San Felipe and not Cupa. Actually the Nejos moved in from Mexico just in time to be moved to Pala. Its All there in the 1928 roll. What the hell is the tribes genealogist ennrollment specialist doing anyway. Oh yeah, changing all these minor details to make all the Pala Mexipinos look Indian.
A lot of Indian groups were brought down from Warner’s Ranch area.
Isn't Cindy Leal the one who caused the Margarita Brittian great grandchildren to be disenrolled.
Great great grandchildren it should say.
This way they are able to play idn poker online games at different times of the day in different parts of the world. Players from all over the world would be able to participate in online casino gaming and play against each other with varying ease and comfort.
So does anyone feel the same way I do? I wish I never VOTED for TONY RAVAGO? He ended up being WORSE than HOWARD MAXCY! He hasn't done anything he said he would do. He is a 2 face, a liar and a untrustworthy Man! Sorry Howard!
@ 11:11 PM,
You are correct and I totally agree with you.
I also agree with you.
Ravago is a yes man when it comes to Smiths wishes.
He has done nothing about the promises he made when he was asking for your votes.
At least Howard was nice to most of the members in Pala
and would sit and talk to you.
With Ravago he just finds excuses to not engage in conversations with tribal members.
Robert has him TRAINED well.
True, Ravago is Smiths best friend.
Ravago lived with Smith when he was a teenager for awhile
when he moved to Pala from Escondido because nobody wanted him.
Ravago also has made a statement that Theresa Nieto and Dion Perez were the ones that voted to disenroll and pushed Leroy Miranda and Smith to find a way to push the issue.
Take a real good look at Leroy and see what karma has done to him.
I wonder when karma will strike the others involved.
Real soon i hope.
OLD NEWS !
NOT EVEN NEWS !
HISTORY !
I herd Tony Campbell say he herd the guy running the CBD store say he was going to take the Tribes Money and didn't know he was friends with us. And Dian Duro thanked him for watching out for us. Well the guy did rip the tribe off and Dian Duro was always buying Buds from that guy !
Has anyone eaten at the casino lately? The food is horrible, low quality and definitely over priced. Pauma even has better food than Pala. You wanna bring people in not shove them away with horrible hospitality. Whoever is in charge needs to check out Valley View, Pechanga on their food service and quality.
Alot of the people I meet in town ask when we are going to reopen the CHOICES RESTRAUNT ! We need to do SOMETHING AWSOME to replace it. We need some good MEXICAN FOOD !
Does the EC still get monthly casino credit for dining? If so this is something that should be cut off, especially during these times. Budgets! It would be nice to be able to ask questions like this at meetings but it’s Not on the Agenda and there is no open forum to speak. I’m actually surprised the meetings have continued to go in this way but not really since Robert has silenced all his opposition that had back bones like King, Willy, Larry. They were the only members that ever really spoke up at the meetings when Robert was doing something shady.
****Just FYI****
If any Margarita Britten descendants get their CDIB which is a federal document like a birth certificate it will state your correct blood degree as it still shows MB as 4/4 Cupeno. If any disenrolled Brittens get their CDIB it will show 1/16 Pala blood plus total blood if you have other native blood. So the BIA/Government still has MB listed as Fullblood CUPENO/Pala after there extensive research in the 80’s and the assistant Secretary making his “Final Decision” and Pala EC ( meaning Robert) not providing any new documentation in 2012 (from what the BIA stated to me) they have no reason or documentation to show MB was anything other than 4/4 CUPENO/Pala. Robert leading Pala is the ONLY tribe or entity that claims MB is anything but 4/4 Cupeno/Pala blood.
We have shown our correct CDIB’s to Robert and Stephanie and they just state they go by other documents and the blood degree on the CDIB ( Umm the Official Government document) is incorrect and that the documents they have but will not provide are correct. MAKES YOU THINK???
We were told that they are NOT opening the buffet. What is going to be done with the space? The Oak Room is getting remodeled and the prices significantly higher.
No, it doesn't surprise me. Robert is a tyrant and Stephanie will just do the job she's paid to do. We live in a world where honor is a mythical word of days gone by, and the more a person bullshits, the more credible they are. It's not right, Robert will NEVER have supporting evidence that shows MB was not 4/4ths because California had just been unionized and anyone born in her decade, before US Govt oversaw California, will all show unknown parents. With that logic, all Calidornia Indians born in 1850 should be marked as half breed since NO ONE HAS ANY RECORDS SHOWING THEIR PARENTAL LINEAGE. With these dishonest mental midgets running the show, you never know what will happen next.
Why have there not been any posts on here since January? Is there any updates on disenrollments?
People are worried that the EC will find out if members
are posting on this site.
Smith and Nieto have made statements that if any tribal members posts on this site they will be subject to fines
by the EC and could loose their per capita.
I say fuck the corrupt bastards and keep posting.
Whats that old saying, The Truth really hurts.
oh wow! Are you serious?! Can this be brought up to the BIA? That freedom of speech has been taken away?
Also heard that the pala EC has blocked this site to anyone that has the pala internet service.
I tried to go on this site using the pala tribes internet and it would not let me go on the site.
How come the Lugos get to count their cahuilla and Morongo blood. Their family were living in Riverside with other Morongo Indians.
Ask Robert Smith that question.
And while your at it ask him how he gets to claim his blood degree from his great grandfather who was a citizen Indian which bars any future family members from claiming the bloodline for any reason.
And also how he can claim so much bloodline from his mothers side because his mothers birth record shows that her father is unknown witch would make Robert and his siblings half white.
How is it possible for him to claim that he is 7/8 pala
when he does not even have enough blood degree to claim 1/16 pala.
7/8 pork maybe
Has anyone seen the Pala Graveyard on Tik Tok ?!!
Yes my kids showed it to me.
Who the hell does that BITCH think she is, and where was pala security while a strange white woman was filming our sacred Indian Graveyard ???????????????
This is total bullshit and the tribe needs to find out who she is and fine her for this bullshit act on tribal land.
If it isn't possible to fine her then file a complaint and have the Court handle it for coming onto private property and filming the graveyard without per5mission from anyone.
If the tribe won't act on this then the people who's
family members graves were filmed and posted on Tik Tok
should take action against her.
I dont think she ment any harm ! In the city the graveyards are public places. She didn't say anything disrespectful.
I agree how dare her disrespect our dead,Who does she think she is ? robert smith,theresa nieto , kilns lattin,or the fruity two leroy miranda and dion Perez. How dare her.
Only keep Cindy Leal out !
If the tribe doesn't act on this issue it is opening it up for other outsiders to do the same thing again.
With so many security employees just riding around and doing nothing but using up a lot of gas they should put up a guard shack on Henderson rd. to keep the unwanted out of that area.
They could do it in four hour shifts with the security staff that we now have.
Kind of like the security shack that Pauma Reservation has.
After all the new homes that were built in that area there is a lot of traffic on that road.
A four hour rotating shift would save money and possibly
save a life of a tribal member.
@ 11:51 PM.
This is not a city it is an Indian Reservation and to have someone like this lady come to our Graveyard and take pictures of the graves and post them on a social media site like she has done is not what we stand for in our beliefs.
This issue needs to be dealt with ASAP so it does not happen again.
Just because some of our people are dead they will not be forgotten and let them "REST IN PEACE" AMEN.
Who ever said it was Pala Security's job to protect the reservation from criminals, interlopers and trespassers? I think they were hired to drive to quiet places and sleep off their hangovers. They are really good at that!
As a tribal elder i am calling on Tim Ravago to get his ass in gear and do his job on protecting the reservation against people like this low life woman from doing like she has done.
Do your job Ravago and stop letting this kind of shit happen here in pala.
How do you think we feel about this issue when you and your patrolmen were hired to protect and serve the members of the reservation.
It's like someone taking a picture of you taking a dump and posting it on a social media site.
Either do your job or move on so we can get a real security chief that will do the job expected of such a person and deal with the members on a equal basis instead of picking and choosing who they should listen to.
Ravago is still Security Chief? Thought he was Vice-Chairman, replacing Howard Maxcey. Doesn't matter. He was a really incompetent Security Chief, and is likely to be a wonderful Vice-Chairman based on past results.
The vice chairman Tony Ravago is security chief Tim Ravagos brother.
COVID IS ALL OVER PALA ! PLEASE TAKE CARE AND PRAY !
Get off this site
My People, My Relatives, Keep The Prayers Comming! They are being answered! You will need them someday and we will Pray for you !
Who gives a shit about your damn services jaipur, or were
ever your from. This site is not for advertising, its for people who have been wronged by there leaders who have abused by disenrollment.
So why don't you go and pay for advertising in your local newspaper and stay the fuck off of here.
Was there a dead woman found in Pala ?
Yes at Robert Smiths nephews trailer on hwy 76.
Why isn't it in the news or REZ RADIO ? All other Dead Body's are!
Because it involves a smith.
Thats CRAZY its not even in the Valley Center Sheriff News.
I heard that she was from the San Pasqual reservation.
Why are they not on the Agenda to have them removed from Pala !? Anyone else would have been given NO MERCY !
Rob keeps them on the Rez because he needs the votes to keep him in office.
Even though they are non members i heard them both say that they get to vote in tribal elections.
These two worthless brothers need to be banished from Pala forever.
It makes no difference who they are they need to go ASAP.
One of them hangs around the school area and passes out on the benches at the front of the mission.
He harasses the seniors and elders for money.
Always yelling at people driving through Pala.
Even takes off his shirt thinking he is some kind of supper hero or something.
He is a direct threat to the Reservation and to the people passing through the reservation.
No one wants to do anything about it because of his uncle Rob, i say FUCK HIS UNCLE ROB he is just another pile of shit.
Is anyone going to run against Tony Ravago for Vice Chairman ? He hasn't done anything positive for the tribe .
🙋♂️
Here is another example of what Teddy Smith gets away with because of who his uncle is.
Last Thursday afternoon he was running through the park when the school bus was dropping off children from school
and he was completely NAKED and nothing was done.
This is the second time in less than a week that he has done this type of thing when the bus was dropping off the students from school and nothing was done.
I THIS IS NOT CONSIDERED A DIRECT THREAT TO THE CHILDREN AND THE PEOPLE LIVING HERE THEN THERE IS SOMETHING VERY WRONG WITH OUR SO CALLED LEADERS THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO PROTECT US FROM PEOPLE LIKE TEDDY SMITH.
If something is not done about this bastard he will more than likely end up hurting one of kids or an Elder.
Security just says ,We are keeping an eye on him.
That's bullshit, if it was anyone else they would be in jail, but because he is the nephew of Rob Smith he does whatever he pleases and gets away with it.
Think about this really hard, do you want your kids or grand kids exposed to this kind of bullshit or don't you care one way or another?.
I forgot to mention that he "HE IS NOT A TRIBAL MEMBER EITHER".
He was adopted by Robs sister Debora Smith was has passed
away.
Cassie Scott is another one that has been naked running around when the kids are being dropped off.
Give her a choice, either get help or stop her per capita
and impose a fine on her.
Giving her a check every month is only enabling her to get more drugs.
Maybe her uncle Rob can find her a spot on the EC.
I thought i saw Cassy Scott running around naked too.
But it turned to be a Halloween skeleton prop hanging on someones fence.

I believe that there was a dead girl from San Pasqual also found at Teddy Smiths trailer about a week ago and is being covered up by Rob for some reason.
Its like i posted before, it seems that non tribal members have more say than tribal members do.
I hear Nona Scott is gonna run for Vice Chairman (Woman)!! Good luck Nona. You have my Vote !!
Sorry Nona and Joe. I really meant to say NONA NEJO ! I hope I spelled it correctly.
Nona should have been voted in the first time she ran. She was actually trying to change things but then again that’s exactly what some people don’t want “change”. Change will be good for Pala but there are a few that change will not be good for. Those are the ones that will fight tooth and nail to keep things the way they are which should tell you they have something to lose. Something they probably shouldn’t have in the first place.
Leta all hope for the best in this election.
I believe that Nona will be a better VICE CHAIR than the one we now have.
I truly believe that she will be fair to "ALL TRIBAL MEMBERS" as it should be.
Tony Ravago made a lot of promises to people when he was running for Vice the first time and he "HAS NOT BEEN TRUE TO HIS PROMISES".
We as a tribe cannot move forward if we don't make a change in the leadership which we now have so vote for Nona Niejo and start the change process now so we can move in a positive way.
Also vote to keep Theressa Villa in office she has the
knowledge and fairness to keep our tribe moving forward.
The person that is running against her has "NO" what this job requires.
We don't need another yes Mr.Chairman on the EC, which would be what this other woman would be if she is voted in to replace Villa.
Keep the fairness and knowledge in place and vote for Theressa Villa.
Don't fooled by fake promises again.
We all know the job that Villa has done for the tribe is a good and FAIR TO ALL job.
For those of you that don't come to the meetings, Nona always has questions. She demands answers from the Executive Council. She holds them accountable for there answers and promises. Just like the last meeting. Rob said he would have some answers about Pala Interactive. She asked for those answers. Rob had no answer. We need her in OFFICE PEOPLE. She will ask those questions we want answers to.
VOTE NONA FOR "OUR" VICE CHAIRWOMAN !
We for sure need someone like Nona Nejo on the EC that has the best interest of all tribal members at heart.
She is a very strong minded woman and is not afraid to say whats on her mind.
As an Elder of the Band i encourage all of the members of PBMI to vote for Nona Nejo for Vice Chairwoman in this election.
Give her the chance to help all of us to be able to put the needed trust in our leadership which has gone by the wayside over the past few years.
I firmly believe that she is sincere about the way she feels about the best interest of the PBMI and she will do an outstanding job as our VICE CHAIRWOMAN.
VOTE FOR NONA NEJO and see the change that she will make for the better.
Ravago has done nothing that has helped the PBMI move forward in a positive way.
He is just a puppet for the chairman, a yes man.
so what is her stand about the disenrollments?what has T.Villa done to help us.So once elected to office they forget to fight for a change that they have promised.Nothing will change till he is out of office.
If we can get new blood on the EC that is not afraid of Roberts threats and his bullshit then we have a chance for change.
But is the same important spots keep getting voted in then we will continue to struggle with moving forward in a positive manner.
The way it is right now on the EC you have Robert Smith
as the chairman then you Tony Ravago who has been Robs best friend dating back to their teenage years as the Vice Chairman, then you have Theresa Nieto who runs both the Chairman and the Vice Chairman, then comes Shelia Smith who is Robs first cousin as a member at large that listens to whatever Rob says.
Then you have Bradley Guchineo who stands for truth and fairness as does Theressa Villa.
So Rob, Nieto ,Ravago and Shelia carry the most weight with their voting power on the EC and 2 EC members that are for the people of PBMI and cannot, and will not make decisions that are bad for the tribe as a whole.
This is why we need to put new people on the EC to make fair and honest decisions for the tribe and not to be sawyed by Rob , Nieto, Shelia and Ravago.
That is why i think that Nona Nejo is the best choice to replace Ravago as the Vice Chairman. She will be honest with the members and she will get the answers to the questions that the members ask.
If anyone has Family or Friends that live off the Reservation Please contact them and encourage them to VOTE "NONA NEJO FOR VICECHAIR WOMEN" THE TRIBE NEEDS HER ! 🙏
Also if someone has an out of state relative who is a tribal member of PBMI have them take a photo copy of their ballot and send you a copy so we can see who is listed on the outside ballots along with any and all other info that they receive concerning the upcoming election.
Also if your family or friends that are members of the tribe did not receive a ballot tell them to let you know ASAP.
I would like to compare them with the mailing list that the tribe uses for outside members of the tribe.
I saw Tobo Ravago doing donuts at the church next to his house yesterday evening.
That is so wrong on so many levels.
Being a non member of the PBMI he just opened up a big can of worms and could be banded from Pala for being a direct and causing property damage on the churches property.
This should be reported to the sheriffs dept. because reporting it to pala security would be a total waste of time being that his uncle Tim Ravago is in charge of the security dept. and his uncle Tony Ravago is the vice chairman of PBMI.
I hope that the owners of the church took pictures of the area that he damaged so that they can file charges against him.
Why didn't you call the Sheriff's? You seen him ! Don't talk about it, Be about it.
I did call them and they are going to investigate it.
At least that's what i was told.
AWSOME !!
Sheriff's Dept is paid well by Smith to look the other way.
Smith has blackmail material on lots of people. If he can't get you, he can threaten someone close to you.
If he can't blackmail you, he can make you an offer.
If you don't take the offer he can disenroll you.
That is how it works in Pala.
Sound like BULLSHIT !!!! BE SERIOUSE.
Tobo Ravago is a direct to pala with his drug dealing and his bullshit that he gets away with.
Being a non tribal member he should be banded from pala.
VOTE FOR NONA NEJO FOR VICE CHAIRWOMEN ! 🙏 WE NEED HER
She has all of my family votes 100%.
we need her on the EC "NOW".
Don’t FORGET the second MOST IMPORTANT PART OF ELECTION’S is WHO is on THE ELECTION COMMITTEE. If there isn’t HONEST PEOPLE on the committee ESPECIALLY the HEAD of the ELECTION COMMITTEE then it won’t matter who is running.The MAIL-IN BALLOTS go to the Postal FIRST and SIT THERE (ANYTHING could happen with the ballots during this time) for a while before being brought over to be checked and the “THROW AWAY” ballots we all know about and is noted on the ballots are REMOVED per the rules of the election. If you can pull 40-50 ballots all for the OPPOSITION as THROW AWAYS for whatever made up reason they want to say then YOU CAN CHANGE AN ELECTION. If that doesn’t work then replacing some of the mail-in ballots with your ready made ballots all for your chosen person during this same time or when they are sitting in the Postal will definitely chose the winner!
Something to think about! You can’t think someone or 2 someone’s with a lot of hate, doubt, questionable activities has the trust and vote of the majority while all other positions have turnover during elections?? Ummm I don’t think so….
Do you think the ones who hurt the Brittians have started to worry about their souls yet. Time is running out fir them.
Vote for Theresa Villa to stay in office during this election.
The lady that is running against her have no knowledge of what it takes to be a tribal secretary.
She is a Lavato that's why she is able to run for office which also means that she would be a "yes Mr. chairman" to smiths agenda.
At least T. Villa has the knowledge to help us advance in a positive way and she is honest with the members and is always ready to help the elders of the tribe.
whats the difference?what has she done to help the Britain family? A puppet just like the rest of them.
The Briatains family is not a priority! Sorry but we have alot of things that we have to handle !
so fixing the wrongs in the tribe is not a priority?maybe it should be.make the tribe whole again,and just maybe all the other problems wouldn't be there.unless you guys do believe they don't belong,in that case you can all continue being ��.
T. Villa is part of the Britten family.
I have known Theresa Villa to be honest, friendly, professional, trustworthy, and so many positive things. When WE voted her into office. WE meaning the Tribe felt we did the right thing. It was no mistake. Ask anyone there opinion.
@ 11:50
The Britten family should be a priority.
It is a disgrace to the people that have taken the ID of
of this family to belong.
Everyone knows that the disenrollments were do with
fake documents used by Smith and Nieto keep their agenda going and to punish King Freeman and Willy Pink for speaking the truth about what Rob and his EC were doing and continue to do today with no checks and balances to anyone.
They keep everything a secret from the general membership and they know that they are wrong for hiding these things.
And its people like you that are sugar coating their agenda.
However someday soon it will come back to bite them in their asses.
Why do you think that they, the EC are afraid of a forensic Audit and always have an excuse when it is brought up by the general membership to have an audit of
all the Bands financials.
I will tell why, its because the chairman and the treasurer would be found guilty of of mismanagement and theft of tribal funds including some funds being Federal grant funds which are supposed to be deposited into a special account and used for the purpose of said grant.
And the grant funds are not supposed to deposited into a general funds account.
Also you can get someone in law enforcement or a person that works for the DMV to get info on how many vehicles are registered to Smith and the PBMI.
This should confirm who is driving around in tribal owned/leased vehicles and who carries the insurance on these vehicles and where they are financed and under who's name.
There are many ways to catch a crook that are easy to do.
The general membership can also find an Attorney who is willing to find out this information for a set fee and be listed as an Attorney for the members of PBMI instead of using a single person/name to get this information.
Consisting of director Nick Cassavetes, entrepreneur Sam Magid, the proprietor of Circle du Soleil, and also a billionaire Alec Gores, the founder of the internal many justness firm The Gores area. For more ideal details about dan bilzerian with no beard, visit this link.
Does anyone know when the services are going to be for florence kolb ? polochie.
VOTE FOR NONA, THERESSA, AND BRADLY !
I am a tribal member living in Pala and today i received a request from two incumbents running for re-election on the EC.
I wonder why they arrived just 2 days before the voting is to be held and i also wonder if the outside members ever receive this info in time to read them and send their ballots back in time to be counted.
Still haven't got one for Nona Nejo.
Did she send one out ?.
this is a little troubling.
If any tribal member has a friend or relative that lives off the reservation or a different state ask them if they received their ballot and or any other material concerning this election and let someone know their answer.
It took me 1 minute to read there flyers. If you need more than 2 days get someone to read it to you.
@ 7:40 PM
I think you need to read the above post or have someone read it to you because i don't think you understand what the post means.
If were Nona Nejo i would call for a recount on all ballots in this election.
That's what Ravago did when he ran against Maxcey remember.
I believe that Nejo won this election and Smith and Nieto
don't want her as the Vice Chair because they are afraid that she would expose them as the frauds that they really are.
Only around 300 people voted ! That shows how much your tribe cares about what happens to them.
How sad only a 3rd of the tribe voted when double that actually live right here in Pala. It’s not that people don’t care it’s more like what’s the point? Voting for Chairman, Vice-Chair, or Treasurer doesn’t mean or change anything in Pala since it’s all set by Robert so most people say what’s the point. The only positions he allows to have real elections are the council seats and secretary u less it’s someone he REALLY doesn’t or can’t have on the EC then he will step in and do what he does every year and pick the person. Why waist your time going in to vote when your vote doesn’t count.
Dear Nona,
Please don't give up. Keep doing what your doing at the meetings. We see that your intentions are for the best interest of the Tribe !
Don't let Ravago, Nieto and Smith get away with this election bullshit.
Call for an election Audit and see how many outside members voted and for who.
The numbers just don't add up and an Audit of the election would be a fair and honest outcome .
Andrew Smith from pala died yesterday while picking up his Christmas bonus check at the Admin building.
He had a heart attack.
Now there is only one more smith to go.
Not everyone has the HATE and EVIL in there heart like you. Please have some respect for his kids and relatives.
@ 8:12 PM, I don't hate anyone.
Its just KARMA taking its coarse.
Don't believe me just sit back and see who goes next.
KARMA IS NOT A NATIVE BELIEF ! KARMA COMES FROM INDIA
@ 3:06 PM
DISENROLLMENT IS NOT A NATIVE BELIEF EITHER.
DISENROLLMENT COMES FROM CORRUPTION.
Pala now refers to murderous thieves as Elders. Please do not call me an elder as the word has become meaningless.
Who said anything about Elders ?
Here, have another hit of the pipe.
There is NO 7:32 DUMB ASS !
Sorry my bad, SMART ASS.
someone just told me that Donald Garcia, aka thumb tack passed away.
Is it true?
He was from pala.
MERRY CHRISTMAS PALA !
And Happy New Year !
A new year but the same old shit.
Thank You EC for supplying us with Home Covid test.
they did not special,anybody can get 4 shipped to your house with half a brain.
There is an interesting piece on the yahoo news site i just read.
It is titled, HIDDEN TREATY OF TEMECULA ROBBED
INDIGENOUS PEOPLE OF THEIR LANDS.
The US Government that is giving out the free in home covid test kits, NOT THE EC.
Or did you really mean thank you EC for giving us the virus or the swine flue.
The government is giving out four free test kits per household through the US postal website.
Yes
Thank You EC !
sheep
All you people care about is money. That disgusting rez is filled with rapists, pedophiles, dope dealers, murderers, etc and all you bastards bitch about is money. You're a filthy bunch of disgusting degenerates and you all got what you deserve when they took the only thing you value. You're chairman is a rapist. His brother is a rapist. Every single one of you knows a degenerate deviant yet you all look the other way. Do the world a favor and stay in your little hell hole and don't come near civilized people
☹😮🥺😢😭😠 F U
When is the band going to do something about enrollment. All the Economic Development thats going to be done is only going to benefit a few familis. And mostly not even the Trail of Tears people.
Robert Smith was approved by the NIGC for a $100 million loan without a specific project to spend the money on. So PBMI is on the hook to pay back a loan to enrich the Chairman. Isn't that a wonderful thing?
@ 2:08 PM,
This is true however the members of pbmi don't give a shit as long as they get that little check every month and their little bonus check every 4 months.
The bottom line here is why don't the pbmi members see what this corrupt little piggy is doing to the members
and the future of the Band.
Remember a few years ago when things were good and the members were getting 20,000 a month for a short time and now they are down to getting about 60% of that amount.
But the spending habits of the EC hasn't changed in many years.
The only answer is a forensic Audit to see how much money is really missing/stolen from the tribe and who's pockets it wet into.
Why doesn't anyone give a shit.
If you do give a shit then motion to have an Audit of all the financial of the tribe done at the next meeting.
If the EC has nothing to hide they should go along with it to prove that they are not guilty of spending the Bands money or stealing it.
fuck that fat fuck,lots of room back in the Morongo canyon skip the audit
OLD NEWS !
HISTORY AS A MATTER OF FACT!
NOT everyone in the Tribe is who you say they are. We have some good people in our tribe. Our hands are tied.
Your hands are tied because you let them be tied.
It is way past time to untie our hand and not let the corruption of some of the EC members to do anymore harm to our people.
In the last 5 years at least 50 members of our tribe have passed away not knowing what the future will bring for their loved ones that are still living in fear of the corrupt leaders of PBMI.
Untie your hand and raise them to get the rotten apples
out of leadership before you become a mound of dirt or a marker in the graveyard.
Ok you cheap bastards go and pay to place your adds in a news paper and quit using our site to boost your business.
@12:51AM,
No one here gives a shit about your bullshit add.
So go and have a bowl of Covid 19 stew and enjoy it with some hot fry bread.
we should take that fat bastard of a man up to the Morongo canyon and toss him and the Ec who don't want to help are families in the lake
I have some tie-downs and a pickup all gassed up and ready to go.
That would for sure bring some attention to the corruption and disenrollment in Indian country.
A little old school justice never fails.
GROW UP !
No one has to hurt anyone but at least that family would be in Morongo where they came from.
There is so much complaining but no one goes to the Tribal Meetings ! BITCH BITCH BITCH Hell even the Mexican Sheriff was at the meeting, listening to all of our business! He should not have been there, but YOU SHOULD HAVE !
Yes maybe you are right about going to the meetings but some people are getting tired of not being able to talk about important things that need to be talked about at the meetings.
Every thing at the meetings are all planed before hand by smith and neito and any other issues are not to be brought up or even considered at the meetings.
Only the things that the EC wants passed are even mentioned.
Even when someone asks for things they always say that they will have the answers at the next meeting and they never come up with the answers.
The only way to get people to go to the meetings is when smith and nieto are gone, then and only then will things get better and the members are able to ask questions and get answers.
over 100 people would love to go to the meeting,but are not able too because of cowards in the tribe.I can promise you this pride comes before you fall!give that some thought then look through history for examples,if you are able to think for yourselfs
Happy Valentines Day 💝
Here's some CHEESE 🧀 😁😆😅🤣
FUCK YOU, ROBERT SMITH PUTIN JR.
I guess the rumors are true. Robert enrolled shasta as part of the settlement in her sexual harassment suit against Leroy Miranda. She has been introducing herself as a tribal member of Pala. So sad. Leroy probably would have never done what he did if she didn't look so much like a man. Some say she even thinks she has a chance to replace robert as chair. Makes sense since she seems to be the only one representing the tribe in public and other events.
Speaking of Shasta ! Tribal Members make sure you go to the next meeting and Vote �� NO on the EPA Law they are trying to pass. It gives Shasta office the power to tell us what to do on our own land.
Then make a motion to fire her and see what kind of reaction you get from the EC.
It is way passed time to turn the tables on your beloved chairmen and his fraud friends.
To prove that she is enrolled ask for her to show her tax returns.
I also heard that the financial gives some of the nonmembers working for the tribe a tax letter so they don't have to pay state tax because their income comes from the tribe and that they are living on the Reservation.
Also speaking of Shasta, every meeting I've been to with her, she introduces herself as a Pala Tribal member. If you point out to her that the people she helped disenroll are more Indian than she'll ever be, she gets so mad she cries. Poor white women wants to be Native so bad she'll do anything to please Robert.
How Silly. Leroy is into men, but Robert is into little boys. leroy was trying to recruit shasta for robert during one of his jimson weed highs thinking she was a boy. Dont really need to be high to make that mistake.
STUUUPID
@4:46PM
Do you have any proof of her saying that she is a pala tribal member at any of those meetings?
Or can you get minutes of those meetings that state that she made those statements, please get them into the hands of tribal members so we can take action against her and have her fired and banded from pala forever.
It may also make the EC explain why they condone such actions by her and if she some how did get on the tribal roles, HOW.
There are tribal members that can due her job, and possibly even better than she does.
The EC thinks that the people living here are stupid and can't due certain jobs so they hire these outside people
and train them to support their own agenda and this is what we end up with, trash talking nobodies like Shasta
who thinks that her asshole is a Tee Pee.
So is the WINE the tribe is making Lecos? He made it sound like it was ! During the tribal meeting he told Robert what he wanted to do with it.
You mean Leco told Robert to stick the wine up his ass?
Some more sad news from pala.
Yesterday Anita Diaz Rodriguez passed away, aka Zeeke.
She was one of the most likable people in Pala, she was never afraid voice her opinion about what she thought about any thing.
I will miss her for sure.
P.I.P. Zeeke.
Why is Tony Ravago destroying our Softball Field !? He is allowing a Baseball team to practice and play on the mens field ! Baseball has 90' bases, so the runners run on the grass when running the bases.This is going to destroy Palas mens field ! Also have you noticed that there are NO PALA TEAMS playing on there own fields !? Tony charges them $75.00 to practice on there own fields.
You should be more worried about how Rob is destroying the reservation instead of a petty ball field.
Go to the meetings and ask your questions.
I just read the arrest records online and found the arrest for Robert Smiths daughter last week for being under the influence and possit6ion of a controlled substance.
This is the same daughter that the swat team raided her house a few months ago.
She should be considered a direct to the Reservation and banded from Pala as being so.
Her house is also on tribal land and according to the way that the EC treats other members by taking their homes for having a convicted felon visit the residence and accuse the home owner of allowing the convicted felon to sell drugs at the home then taking the home away from the elderly member.
if you want to see it for yourself here is the web site.
www.localcrimenews.com .
then where you see city in the search block just type in pala and search and you will see all the arrest for pala.
Yes, I saw it and she's already out of jail. Let's see how fast it takes for them to scrub the internet of this info. Just another day in the Smith world, commit crimes, use money to clean it up.
Just like that, this record has been wiped from the internet. Just so typical, but thanks for sharing this info. I already captured a screen shot and knew this would be removed. People, there is no transparency in the universe of Pala, its all designed to create a facade of untruths, these people have a lot of money to pay for someone to wipe the internet and it literally took 1/2 day for Chairman Piggy Smith dowdy ugly old fart to remove all traces of this record. Like I said, thank goodness for screenshots. At least we know the truth and know he uses his money to manipulate people and maybe one day it will end. Until then, stay strong and never give up fighting evil. One day.
Yes, I also saw thud arrest record, she's already out of jail and they scrubbed the web of thus info, just like magic, corruption wields its magic wand and poof its gone.
