Beads Buy Branchhead Billions

Jane Hamsher at FireDogLake cites the work of Mary Beth Williams at Wampum and an occasional diary at Kos on the nasty dealing of Casino Jack and how they radiate all through DC and … WTF! OMG! The real focus on how Native Americans and much of the branchheads get hosed might begin with The Gipper, the original and admittedly addled (Is there a pattern here?) tool of the Right Wing Big Mules. Reagan’s James Watts begat Gayle Norton who begat …

$150,000,000,000.00 is a lot of beads! Oil/gas, mining, forestry (and likely agricultural if the Captain is guessing) Big Mules have been able to delay (Delay indeed!) an accounting of the Indian Trust Fund land issue (via access in part to the actual industries books since many Department of the Interior documents have been destroyed) to check for underpayment, fraud, and other nefarious deeds. Courts have ordered this yet the Big Mules have Richard Pombo and John McCain and others to try to force a settlement.

Casino Jack could have worked both ends on this one! Peace ... or War indeed! It seems like war is about all to do as this is hardly peace. I'm about ready to go all Billy Jack on these folks.
