We wrote about the attempted recall of
Pechanga Band of Luiseno Indians Chairman
Mark Macarro in 2010:
The CPP group, this time fronted by: Raymond Basquez Sr., Ed Burbee, Gloria Wright & convicted child molester Vince Ibanez. At a meeting that was designed to elect new PDC (Pechanga Development Corporation) leaders, the CPP presented a petition recalling Pechanga Chairman Mark Macarro for nepotism in hiring his wife Holly Cook Macarro as the tribe's lobbyist
THIS WEEKEND there's a huge "special meeting" on some corruption in the tribe. We know that Raymond Sr. and Ed Burbee were seen in Las Vegas together a couple of months back. Was this a collusion between the two to finish what they started?
Does Macarro have the stones to do what is necessary for the tribe whose population he has decimated? Is he protecting his own family from implication?
STAY TUNED!

Basquez-Masiels are strong and have years of practice being sneaky.
Macarro is weak without the Masiels. He's going down.
Hope he has plenty of security planned...
these people are so corrupt and bad, they really have ruined the tribe.
Will John Macarro's misuse of the corporate credit card come up?
Which is the less of two evils? Mark and the Masiel family obviously are a team. The tribe needs to stand and demand their voice be heard. In the past the tribe has voted on matters and Mark and the council over-ruled that. I would not be surprised that if the tribe votes for something that does not benefit Mark, he will over-rule it.
Again people wake up and fight for what is right, if you don't nothing will ever be decided by you, the people, you will just be numbers to cast a vote for a bunch of politicians when needed.
Jenny Miranda did not even have ties or knowledge of her history, when she showed up in the 70's she was taught by the old timers in the area (which is documented). If her families ties run so deep why did she need to be taught by the other families (Hunter) here?
At this point everyone knows who truly has lineage to the tribe, it is common knowledge, No one is fooling No one.
Heard the police will be checking license plates for outstanding warrants.
Wonder which family he is trying to oust now?...since the per cap has gone down from lack of business, he needs a a way to keep his family and friends in money....what easier way than cutting out "supposed " non-members?
He doesn't need the money, he has the tribe paying his WIFE's lobbying firm hundreds of thousands of dollars, so he essentially double dips.
Macarro gets PAID as tribal chair, uses tribal credit cards, gets per capita, and then shares in the wealth from his wife's company that tribal funds pay for.
Sorry to ask this but doesn't your tribe have any overseer?
Why does it let him rip them off?..is he chief or a dictator ?
This is the reason tribes got slaughtered in the old days, the chief sells you out for some greenbacks....why doesn't the tribe wake up and take back control from this worm?..
And the double-dipping is probably illegal and would be curious to find out how much of his income does he report?..does the IRS or California Franchise Tax Board ever read this site?...
stay tuned to what and who gets up to speak at this meeting. I bet Ed Burbee will stand FOR Jennie and try and spin a lie for her. He is so two faced, and is a big part of the problem. Bottom line is, the perfect storm is here. Take out Jennie and her family. They continue to try and push the band to do the wrong thing. Our people have always stood for what is right, but scare tactics, threats, lies, misinformation and a political typhoon has put Pechanga on the map. We are a people of love, honesty and caring. Put the lyers, thieves and criminals in check. Its time to take back what is ours. PRIDE!
"Pechanga" has shown they have no "Fortitude" when it comes to "Cleaning House" when these "Criminals" are concerned. We all know that the "Membership is afraid of the "Big Bad Wolf..A.K.A..Mark and his Henchmen." So what kind of "Bullsh.. Mentality" are they going to "Spead This Time?" And the "Criminals" will do the "Spreading!" Could it be that "Mark's Henchmen" have actually turned on him? I think this going to be "Out of the frying pan into the fire," and it's only going to get worse. And you have got to know that the "B.I.A." will stand back with their "Thumb Up Their A.. and say the usual, "Nothing!" This is nothing more then a "Power Play" for "Criminals By Criminals" to what end? I guess one "Criminal Element" wants a bigger share of the "Pie" at the expense of the other "Criminal Elements" in charge of the "Purse Strings." If you remove one "Fox From The Henhouse" then "Install a new Fox," what has changed?... Nothing!
And we will still on the "Outside Looking In," for they have no intention of fixing the "Wrongs" against "True Lineal Decendants." We can all see what's going down here? Out with the "Old, In with the New," and the "Corrupt and Criminal Endevors"..."Will Prevail, And the "Chickensh.. Membership" will let it happen!.....Eagle Eyes."
I agree with Eagle Eyes, the membership has had at least two chances to be an honorable people. Is it the money? Is it fear of the same thing happening to them? Well only those who did nothing when we were disenrolled know what the truth is. As for the Potato he is not all that bright. He does take orders from the Witches. One thing everyone forgets is that the White asshole BM is still pulling strings and manipulating the Witches and the Potato. He is not innocent, if I could prove what I suspect he and his Mafia buddies would be exposed for the criminals that they are. He is way smarter than those Masiel Basquez crime family idiots. Normally I do not like to comment on things that I cannot back up, but this is what I suspect. One day they will answer for the harm that they have done.
I'm from a disenrolling tribe and I am sooo hoping and praying for some justice for all pechangas that are affected by the criminal element in your tribe. Good luck brothers and sisters. Myself and my family are pulling for all the unjust disenrollments. I really hope the wrongs wll be righted. Keep up the good fight. Soon our day will be in the sun and and these people will be cowering in the dark shadow of our efforts.
Word is that Raymond Basquez owns a house in a small town by the Mexico border. Now why would someone that has money buy a house there? Could this be a connection to a cartel or Mexican mafia?
Maybe this is where Jennie was moving her illegal slot machines to Mexico from. Masiel / Basquez crime family.
That is very true, even with 7 it can be a dictatorship. The Tribal Govt. Needs to change. There needs to be checks and balances. Right now its a Dictatorship on Amerntican soil. Wow America will fight for Civil Rights outside of our country but let it happen in their own! They are killing bloodlines off. In my eyes Murderers. For what? Money, no matter what they say. They are great liars. DON'T SUPPORT DICTATORS!!!!
Yes it has come down to this. Let's do it!!!
