This shameful, felonious approach to politics
has been practiced so long the Navajo people
have given up any possible hope of seeing
justice done. If they dare to point a finger at
these corrupt politicians, strange things are
likely to start happening to them and their
families. As a result, the people have become
so demoralized with political misrepresentation
they don’t even try to stop it from happening.
Double-tongued fraud and deceit has become
normal operating procedure for these
disreputable elected politicians.
This reporter has made many attempts to schedule
an appointment to consult with four different
presidents in Window Rock, Arizona, the seat of
the Navajo Nation. Every time I’d show up for
my appointment, the President was busy in
meetings or was out of the office. I’d
reschedule, and the same excuse would be used
again and again. They hate reporters and give
anyone, Navajo or white, who may have a
grievance to discuss the runaround. This
dereliction of duty to the Navajo peoples’ needs
may eventually cause the Navajo people to lose
their inheritance for the future. These
reprehensible politicians might literally cause
the disinheritance of their own people without
batting an eye. The Dine have been abandoned
and left to their own devices. Every year when
winter comes, many Navajos freeze to death and
their animals starve because some politician has
embezzled the money through deception and
collusion that was meant to help people through
tough times. As I stated earlier, it would be
a miracle if anyone could discover how they
camouflaged the funds.
President McDonald was elected to office twice.
The first time he robbed them blind and got away
with millions. During his second term, his
Judas-kiss approach to the misappropriation of
funds was so severe he got caught with his hands
in the proverbial cookie jar. He was sent to
prison for a short period of time. Essentially,
all he received was a slap on the wrist and was
then released. The instant he got out of
prison, he began spending the funds he had
rat-holed and had himself a ball. He is still
living a lavish lifestyle at the expense of the
Navajo people. Why was he allowed to keep the
money after he was caught? Why was he elected a
second time when the people knew he was crooked
and underhanded in his dealings? His
embezzlement cost the Navajo people more than
they realized. The actual amount of funds he
pillaged is still in question.
When will the Navajos find the nerve to picket
their seat of government in Window Rock? Let
these dishonest politicians know that the Dine
have had enough and intend to do something about
this continual hypocrisy. If the Navajos don’t
learn to stand strong against this kind of
fraudulent misrepresentation and trickery, they
will simply keep on suffering and continue to do
without. Their forefathers had the right to
fight the white man to the death but their
descendents now refuse to do anything about
fighting their own elected officials.
Navajo code talkers were directly responsible
for helping win the Second World War. What
great men they were! What happened to that
spirit willing to give up life itself to fight
oppression? Where did the warriors go?
It ‘s time to make the politicians accountable
for their every action and prove to the people
where all the funds are being spent. There is
no public accountability, so why should the
politicians worry about proving their
discreditable actions to anyone? If the Navajo
people were to force them to produce records,
you can bet they will be falsified records to
make them look squeaky clean. This is par for
the course. The real records, if there ever
were any, were destroyed the instant any funds
were pocketed with no possible trace left to
expose the guilty parties. When will this
piracy stop?
I am a white man with an Indian heart. I can no
longer stand by and let this kleptomania
continue. I intend to spend what’s left of the
rest of my life fighting the treacherous
misbehavior of these sinful politicians. They
will come to regret their transgressions. I
will discover the reasons why these graceless
crooks are rarely caught and made to pay for
their crimes.
This flagrant fleecing of funds must come to an
end. It’s time to stand together and tell these
evasive, smooth-tongued politicians that the
people will no longer accept their duplicity.
Like President Harry Truman stated, “The Buck
Stops Here!” These are powerful words that need
to be remembered for all time. The people have
the power (or have we all forgotten this fact?).
This masquerade of government swindling of
appropriated funds must stop immediately or
everything will be lost to the people themselves
yet again, this time at the hands of their very
own people.
This article is designed to let these guilty,
villainous politicians realize the ‘big eye’ is
on them for the first time in decades. If any
Navajo politician is guiltless of any
criminality, you have nothing to fear from this
reporter. I will applaud your faithful service
and stand behind you 100 percent in future
reports. I will be an additional voice to help
you succeed with future developments within the
Navajo Nation.
The Navajo people live in one of the most
beautiful geological places on Earth.
Hopefully, someday the Navajo Nation will become
the truly great homeland it was possible to
become. Don’t let this chicanery continue to
oppress good people who need the same equal
chance to live productive, happy lives as the
true Americans they are.
Now that the disreputable politicians have been
informed that a secret group of nameless people
are presently digging for dirt to help bring an
end to the confiscation of funds, they are
advised to take heed. We have big-money backing
and also have powerful friends in high places in
the U.S. government; people who care about the
plight of the Native Americans. We are in
place. Men and women in unmarked vehicles are
watching and following certain politicians to
discover where you go and who you deal with. We
have acquired portable listening devices to
monitor conversations and record your
statements. You’d be surprised at the new
technology available to the general public for
surveillance purposes. Did I mention telescopic
cameras and other electronic devices that can be
planted easily at any location?
We’re not about to give up all our secrets
concerning how we are going to catch you in the
act of misappropriating the Navajo peoples’
funds. You criminal politicians have been duly
warned. We are eyeballing your every move. You
may lose some sleep. When we compile enough
evidence to nail you in court, the proper
governmental agencies will swoop in and nail you
to the cross. You won’t see us following you.
We are professionals. I love these new micro
GPS locators. We are military high-tech and we
are mobile. We are going to catch you. Your
days are numbered.
