Robert would look at Theresa and then one...@ 9:33pm<br />Robert would look at Theresa and then one of them would say we don’t have the extra funds for a bonus. We can’t just vote for a bonus and get it. The treasurer has to approve if we even have the available money to give out. We all know we do but that is not for the tribe it’s Rob’s and Nieto’s money. A motion needs to be made for the EC to show the general council the amounts of the Xmas bonuses they have given themselves the past 6 years. They like to tell us the tribe needs to cut back on spending then smith and nieto need to cut back on their American Express cards that is paid for by the tribe and all the charges they used on the card needs to be overlooked and approved by someone not on the EC. Their yearly salary needs to be scaled back to a reasonable amount. Also ALL bonuses issued to the EC needs to be approved by the general council at a meeting. Most tribal council members from any tribe that are removed from their seat is 75% of the time due to personal spending on the tribal credit card. The biggest problem with Pala and the main reason smith and nieto have been able to do what they want and get away with it for soooooo long is because Pala has NO OVERSIGHT. There is nobody above them or that works for the tribe that checks and monitors the tribal credit card spending, casino gross, how much is transferred to the tribe, where that money goes. Oversee and approve Roberts, nietos and Dions trips and spending.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2352705933637881248.post-69036062712004248942019-10-28T20:34:11.669-07:002019-10-28T20:34:11.669-07:00Why would anyone have any mercy for either one of ...Why would anyone have any mercy for either one of these evil bastards.<br />They showed no mercy on the disenrolled legit Tribal members.<br />So screw the both of them and may only harm come their way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2352705933637881248.post-60259639976672600992019-10-22T15:00:52.161-07:002019-10-22T15:00:52.161-07:00I pray that the good Lord and the Federal Judge wi...I pray that the good Lord and the Federal Judge will have "NO MERCY" on them when they are finally made to answer for their crimes, either by Law or death whichever comes first.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2352705933637881248.post-13648490191437713362019-10-20T20:37:01.440-07:002019-10-20T20:37:01.440-07:00I pray for Robert,Teresa, Dion and all others on E...I pray for Robert,Teresa, Dion and all others on EC that they repent of their sins and accept Jesus Christ as their savior.

Go into the post office where the mail in ballots are kept before the election or during the election and change the ballots by throwing away the actual ballot and making a new one. <br />2. Have the head of the election committee on your side and have them throw away ballots for the opponents ( per the instructions on the ballot, which is ridiculous). I know someone who was on the election committee before and they said that year it was one of robs people who was the head of the election committee like always and they just walked in with a stack of ballots and said these are the throw away votes and then took them without anyone else being able to see them. I bet you all those ballots/votes were for robs opponent. If he can throw away or change 30-50 votes with such a small amount of voters that can make a difference between Pala’s healthy prosperous future or the continuation of hate, thievery, lies and the fall of Pala. <br />Again I ask who is on the election committee and who is the head?

So it should look like this: Vice-Chair Tony Ravago- 260. Nona Niejo- 286. Throw away ballots-35<br />I’m this example you can see 35 votes can make a difference in an election. Whenever they want someone to win like Robert or Theresa they throw away 50 or more votes which im pretty sure are for the other person. If you have been on the election committee before you know. They should post these numbers so everyone can see and they question why that many ballots were thrown out cause it’s hard to believe that many ballots were marked or wrote on in a bad way to make it a throw away.

The realitybof Indian Country is that tribal nations are dependent domestic nations, nations within a larger natiin, that are regulated, defined, and oftwn redefined within a larger political-legal institutionalized discourse grpunded in Supreme Court law, Congressional legislation, and Presidential acts. Since the creation of the US, tribes have been legal-political pawns. Tribes resisted, and many of those resistance aftereffects have been challenged in Court, legislated through Congress, and approved/dissaproved by the President. My point is, that the idea of tribal membership today is bound by an underlining ideology within federal law, that looks at sovering rights within a specific set of rules and procedures. Santa Clara Pueblo v Marti ez is one example of how the "cannons" playbout through Indian Country. That being said, I think a tribe has every right to determine whontheybare themselves, rather than be chained to governmental oversight and racialized ideologies of what and who constitutes an Indian. The problem is not the BIA, an outside specialist, or the EC. The problem is that tribal citizenshio is engrained in a colonized ideology of blood quantum which is seperate from traditional ideas of views of how tribal people belong to eachother and how they recognize who they are. Change needs to come from within, the ideology of how people belong to eachother and how to preserve tribal resources, government, culture, history, and identity for futurr generatiins without destroying the integrity of tribal identity is a hard pill to swallow. The tribal citizenshio will need to find a solution based on there ideals, values, and future outlooks. Once that idea is agreeded upon, than the tribe can define themselves. My point is that every decision thatbis made thatbdeals with tribal governance can never be fully right nor can it be fully wrong, because in order to please some, you have to upset others. Tribal governance and its consequences, either good or bad, needs to be maintained without outside interference and reaolved from within.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2352705933637881248.post-41426201851270507502019-08-28T19:44:21.119-07:002019-08-28T19:44:21.119-07:00Well then just let that low life bitch try to chan...Well then just let that low life bitch try to change my family's blood degree and she will get whats coming to her.<br />If they want to fuck with peoples blood degree then that should apply to every enrolled member and not just target the family's that believe in the customs and traditions of the band and oppose the EC and their corrupt agenda.<br />There are so many people enrolled in Pala that don't even have a drop of blood that would qualify them to be enrolled.<br />People need to do something about this bullshit before there is nothing left but a boarded up building that was <br />once a Casino to help the PBMI to prosper.<br />By sitting back and waiting is not going to solve the problem, it is making it worse as the days click on.<br />And the real blame will be the Members of PBMI whom have the power to make that change no matter who is in charge<br />or who the EC members are.<br />But it seems like every enrolled member has a broken arm<br />and and can't raise it because they are afraid of Robert Smith and Theresa Nieto.<br />These two people have destroyed every thing that was supposed be a nest egg for the future and turned it into there own personal bank account.<br />They tell one family NO there is no money for that and turn around and tell another family that they need on their side YES we can help you.<br />I have never ever hated or wished death on anyone in my entire life but these two people have changed my way of thinking on that, i do wish that they were both dead and gone so we can move forward instead of backwards.

The BIA still has Margarita Britten descendants listed as their correct unchanged blood degree but that didn’t stop Pala EC from changing it and disenrolling. It doesn’t matter what the BIA has listed for blood degree only what the tribe says someone’s blood degree is. They have raised several people later blood degree to enroll their kids.
