Pala Chairman Robert Smith is initiating his own Indian Removal from Pala, in 2015. Where are Senators Boxer and Feinstein and the BIA to protect the rights of Native Americans?
THE PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING
PBMI INITIATES RETALIATION AGAINST CUPEÑO INDIANS
And so it is. Speak the truth about Pala and get punished. In an apparent desperate move on the part of the (Illegal) Pala Executive Committee, two legitimate Cupeño descendants of Warner Ranch Evictees have been placed on the Pala Band of Mission Indians meeting agenda for “EVICTION”.
The facts have been presented here on Original Pechanga Blog. The facts have not been disputed. Those facts truthfully show that Howard Maxcy, Theresa Nieto and Dion Perez are not from Pala. Now here they go again attacking the rightful descendants of Warner Ranch Evictees. In an effort to hide their proposed sinister actions they hope they can persuade the General Council of Pala to do their dirty work for them.
As a matter of fact, the only business before the General Council is evictions. There is no other business. Doesn’t anyone consider it odd that a multi-billion dollar tribe does not have any real business to discuss? What about economic development projects? What about the current financial status of the casino? What about those lands being taken into trust for the Pala Band of Luiseno Mission Indians (Old Pala) purchased with Warner Ranch Evictee moneys? What about the recent fights, shootings, vehicular accidents and other forms of assault that have occurred on the Rez over the last month? I guess these subjects are not worthy items for the Pala General Council to discuss.
So what about it (Illegal) Pala Executive Committee, why are you afraid to discuss the real business of the Band? Are you afraid that people will ask you the tough questions and demand answers? Are you afraid that your actions, if discussed, could rise to the level of a crime and you might, just might, go to jail? You really do belong in jail.
15 years and $3,000,000,000 later, that is billion with a “B”, Pala has nothing to show for it on the economic development side. Where did all those moneys go? Even the abuse of comps is staggering. According to the hotel desk clerk Robert Smith has never paid for a room at the hotel. Don’t you think the IRS should be looking into this? Yes they should. It is all income and income that has never been sanctioned by the tribe so that really makes it theft. Yet the worst thing you can do to Robert Smith is tell the truth. Only Robert Smith has the right to lie, cheat, steal and commit murder on Pala. Come on Howard, how come Robert Smith is not on the agenda for eviction?
It wouldn’t matter because the BIA, which doesn’t get involved in tribal matters, would once again override the decision of the General Council and protect Robert Smith. How does the BIA do that? The BIA’s letters are classic (and evidence). “It is the policy of the BIA not to get involved in intra-tribal matters so therefore you (THE TRIBE) cannot touch Robert Smith because we say so.”
What does it take the BIA to get involved? Will the eviction of 2 legitimate descendants of Warner Ranch Evictees be enough to get the BIA’s attention this time? I doubt it. Please, please send us one more of your letters about how you BIA cannot get involved. We are sure it is going to be fine reading for the judge.
Howard, Theresa and Dion should be concerned how this all goes because it will have a lot to do with how you are treated when the truth comes out and the rightful heirs of the Warner Ranch Evictees take their land back. It is going to happen. All you can do is delay it. All you can do is truck the other illegitimate members (family) of the band in to attend your meeting and do your bidding. (Excuse me, I mean fly them in on your personal golf jets)
Now really, the illegal use of the jets should be on the agenda. Shouldn’t it?? How many Howard? How many golf tournaments did you attend this month? How many non-members are enjoying the benefits of the Warner Ranch Evictees? Again, I bet the IRS will be very interested in those numbers. How does that work? Oh yes. The (Illegal) Executive Committee provides sponsorships allowing you to attend these golf events on behalf of the tribe so the IRS can’t question your expenses. I think the IRS said you are up to about $750,000 in unreported income with taxes and penalties due just on that area of abuse of tribal moneys alone. Really, why don’t you put that one on the agenda? What about your casino comps?
Since the Race Track business was the impetus and cover up by Robert Smith that really led to the disenrollments why isn’t that on the agenda? Aren’t you interested in the truth? If not does that mean you are getting your cut?
What about online gaming? What about the more than $100,000,000 that has been spent illegally on online gaming by the (Illegal) Executive Committee? Shouldn’t that be on the agenda?
What about the fact that Robert Smith is the chairman of the Pala Band of Luiseno Mission Indians (Old Pala). Shouldn’t that be on the agenda?
What about establishing an audit committee to oversee a real independent audit of the casino? Shouldn’t that be on the agenda?
If the (Illegal) Executive Committee has nothing to hide then each and every one of these items should be on the agenda and every legitimate Warner Ranch Evictee should be allowed to attend the meeting.
Oh I am truly sorry. If the meeting was for the legitimate Warner Ranch Evictees then Howard, Theresa, Dion and the rest of the Lugos would not be allowed to attend the meeting. What am I thinking? The BIA will make sure you are there and the BIA will again sanction your theft of our land, water, homes and money.

It is absolutely shameful and disgraceful what is happening. My heart goes out to everyone at Pala who is facing these horrible acts.
To Howard, Theresa and Dion; your pagan false god R.S. will be gone someday, and you have just signed your own eviction notices, to bad your going to take your children , brothers and sisters, and parents with you but as the saying goes, "Right is Right and Wrong is Wrong" right Robert?
I agree. The Lugos will be delivering their own eulogy come next meeting. It does not have to be this way. All you blind followers of Robert Smith, Chairman of the Pala Band of Luiseno Mission Indians need to wake up and wake up now. The BIA has built Robert Smith an escape plan. He now has over 400 acres of land in the name of Old Pala and after he bankrupts pala casino he can go and build a new one on the new Old Pala land.
Let's remember the other Warner Evictee descendants who were banned. Its been done befire , one us back in but the other can't even get a hearing. Did they do something wrong, perhaps but they made amends and deserve fair treatment. Sorry but they were involved in criminal activity. And many tribal members rallied to their side and asked for forgiveness. But Gina and Kenny are not involved in criminal activity they are just trying to save the Kupa people.
It's unbelievable in this day and time, on American soil, the segregation and religious persecution still exists on Federal Lands and the government just stands there and does nothing but fall back on Santa Clara Pueblo (only a tribe has the right to determine its membership). I think that those in government use this reasoning as a catch all for issues they dont want to deal with. Unfortunately, it is clear that only a tribe has the right to determine its membership and the tribe of the Cupeno Nation never had an opportunity to make a determination, only the Executive Committee. Margarita Britton was born in 1852, thats over 163 years ago, her bloodline has been proven over and over, she was on the very first census of the Agua Caliente Village and the only people who accuse her of not being full blood are a bunch of weak minded drug addicts who have been easily seduced and manipulated by Robert Smith. Two members of the Executive who say she is not full blood aren't even Cupeno, as their family history shows they arent even Cupeno! They never even made sure their house was clean before they attacked innocent people. Yes, Teresa Nieto and Dion, you have zero Cupeno, we know it and if you weren't too scared to look, you'd see that Valeriana Barkers parents were from San Ysidro and Cahuilla, father and mother respectively. Alejandro Barker was a white man who was a registered voter. YOU HAVE NO CUPENO BLOOD, AND YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO CAST JUDGEMENT UPON CUPENO PEOPLE! DION, when you and your wife were researching our family to, as you said, find any reason to not disenroll, you should have been looking at your bloodline. Your other ancestor, Remijio Lugo, was on the Morongo Banning BIA rolls, along with his wife Anjelita, so you unfortunately are zero Cupeno. Just because your ancestors lived in Pala doesn't mean you can claim Cupeno, so you never had any right to determine the membership of a different tribe. Yes, the BIAs screw up 100 years ago has really screwed up everything, but none of this would have gotten to point if it wasn't for the enormous greed of you and your family. Until you face this reality, and admit you were wrong in disenrolling 162 Cupeno, your Cahuilla/Morongo/San Ysidro family will never hear the end of this. You all were wrong and your reasons for chosing the path of destruction against innocent people will never make sense. A tribal leader is supposed to protect their people, but you arent my tribal leader, your not a member of the Cupa Nation. We will never stop putting out the truth, and we will never give up
I am sure the Executive Committee will craft a bunch of lies to promote their evil agenda. I'm sure the professional liar, Smith,'will have a big one prepared. Thats okay, it will all be part of the defense.
Yes, these jerks on the Executive Committee have no respect for the people. So many descendant are treated like second class citizens although they are not 1/16th Cupeno, they don't even matter in the eyes of Robert Smith and his Band of Morongo/Cahuilla/San Ysidro/ Old Pala Luiseno Indians. This is a full on assault against the Cupeno Nation and every single Cupeno needs to take notice and make it known that Robert Smith and his followers need to go back to Old Pala. Pala Band of Luiseno Mission Indians of the Pala Reservation only represents the small piece of land across the river. You have no jurisdiction over the Cupeno Nation and if the BIA just stands by and does nothing to help the Cupeno Nation, then they are as spineless as Robert Smith.
It is horrible the act that this man has created. It is a shame upon native ways. The BIA moved the Cupenos to this land and now want to abandon them. That Smith wants to evict those natives is not acceptable. To all of our Native cousins, we support you . . . we are with you . . . we stand by you.
From the true San Pasqual descendants.
Robert must be feeling nervous about losing this fight, only desperate people take desperate measures, and this is pathetic. Not only is this affecting the people he is trying to evict, but this affects their relatives that they visit with too. He is literally telling the people of Pala that he can decide who comes into Pala and who does not, who can visit them and who cannot. Now this is more like a cult or commune, where the leader leads the members lives and keeps them happy with drugs and money while he does whatever he pleases to them and their families, whether it is murder, rape, theft, or violence. He is now showing his true colors about how he really think of his tribal members. It is abuse in so many ways, this needs to end once and for all.
So if adding all of these things up, he has cameras setup around Pala, places only he and his Kronies are allowed, land that only he can go to because of some sacred plants, young adults lining up for his drugs, his own wife's relatives letting him murder their own, ladies and young boys he pays to have sex with, people he pays to vote for him, relatives that he gets out of trouble when they do something illegal, people that he sends his thugs to attack, a brother who can do whatever he pleases, full comp at the Casino, a box at the stadium, 3 private jets, a compound in Ireland, 5 houses, all of his kids drive brand new expensive cars, all of the EC members get full comp at the Casino, he wins the drawing at the Casino, his friend wins a drawing, millions and millions of dollars unaccounted for, people whose lives he has literally destroyed by trying to strip them of their heritage, homes he has taken away from members, old Grave markings that had desecrated, and much more, and they call him "Honorable"? This is your leader people of Pala, is this what you want to stand for, to back an evil person like RS and his followers?
What have these people done to warrant an eviction? Stand up for their rights as true kupa descendants? Follow the rules of tribe and government? No drug raids, no arrests for anything! So the good people suffer and the questionable people are allowed to reek havoc on good standing people's lives. These tables need to be turned and these dealings by the EC need to be addressed. The day WILL come when answers will have to be made. Then we will know the truth of what is going on behind closed doors at Pala. Hoping that day will be soon.
May Robert Smith, Theresa Nieto, Dion Perez, Leroy Miranda all be subjects of their own curse, may they and their generations suffer the heinous crimes they have committed on others, until they are sorry for their evil actions, and may they all experience the depression, the sorrow, the hurt, the sense of not belonging, and the despair that they have caused to others.
The Indian Hitler strikes again. These are good people who are being brought before the General Council to face charges for crimes that were not committed. They can't be present at this monkey court. There will be no evidence presented. There was no notice given to them. They had to find out from others that the Pala EC is trying evict them for being non-members. What ridiculous lie will the Chairman tell this time?
It seems that Robert Smith is bored of winning prizes at the Casino, stealing money, and flying from party to party. He needs to destroy some people to get his jollies. This is the leader of the Pala Band? Sounds more like a juvenile delinquent putting the blame on someone else to cover up his acts of vandalism.
Hey Howard, Theresa and Dion, here's a question for you, your great grandfather Remijio Lugo shows up on the census rolls of morongo along with both his parents AND his 9 brothers and sisters, why are none of his siblings or parents allotted land in pala? Here's my guess, they stayed where they belonged, your great grandfather Remijio came to pala with a wagon full of Warner Ranch Cupeno because he was being paid to assist in the removal by the U.S. Government. So another big question, did the B.I.A. alloting agent not preform his due diligence in determining who was who or did your great grandfather flat out lie to get his hands on some land not purchased for him? Watching you three clowns I would put money on the latter, he came here moving our ancestors, lied, and stole land. You three have not fallen far from the deception tree, you have lied to the people in pala about your ancestry, you are taking land that doesn't belong to you, you attempting to remove Cupeno's from their land just like Remilio and worst of all your ripping hundreds of thousands of dollars, correction, with yourselves, children, brothers and sisters, parents, aunts and uncles, I can say your family has stolen MILLIONS from the Pala Indian Reservation. EVICTION of you FAKES from our land will be easily obtainable because there is no way for you to counter the many documents that prove who you really are, MORONGO/CAHUILLA squatters with no proof you belong!!!
Yes they are taking money that rightfully belongs to the members. But as long as the others allow it they will keep doing it. It's not just the Brittens fight.
The Lugos are trapped in Robert Smith's quicksand. They have already done his dirty deed for him and he doesn't need them anymore. If the Lugos had been smart enough to do their own research instead of relying upon the super liars, Leroy, Cindy and Shasta maybe they wouldn't have been so quick to pull the trigger. Unfortunately they did and the real truth is known. So all they can do now is blow hot air and hope that the corrupt officials of the BIA will support them. If Shasta did real research instead of just focusing on the Brittens then she would have seen that the Lugos do not belong at Pala. How stupid is that. Really, really, really stupid. I guess they give out doctorates for stupid these days. At least Lugos, when your are gone, you can at least have piece of mind by blaming Shasta. Maybe she will loan you a buck or two when you can no longer even afford toilet paper. Your day and your time is coming. No hugs for the thugs of Pala. You are going going gone and much sooner than you think. Robert Smith will be laughing the whole time.
For all anybody knows Robert Smith may have been holding the Lugo's ancestral documents over their head's so they would do something so absurd like disenrolling legitimate tribal members to save their own necks and be able to keep collecting that per-capita check. Was it worth it Dion? was it worth it Nieto? Bet your families are overjoyed with your stupidity and what your actions have brought to their name. Should of did your homework before you agreed go F with educated people, Warners Ranch Decendents who know where to look to find the truth.
Shit is really coming in hard in Pala, it's like golf ball sized hail and it's breaking the Families apart, like shattered glass.
If for some reason the evil ones go ahead with these evictions, then I think that the Evictions of Theresa Nieto, Dion Perez, Howard Maxey
and other should be A given go ahead and started immediately. Even though it will probably have to start with a petition, cause no one can get on the agenda for any thing.
If we sit back and let this happen to our own Native blood line, then we are no better than Robert Smith and his pocket puppets.
If this happens, we are the ones to blame for letting it happen. We sit here and say "Come on EC Renroll" and that the end of the support that we are giving. That's a bunch of BS coming from true native People. We need to attend this meeting in full force and Demand that the EC stop all of this and take all power back and become a Tribe again, the way it used to be and the way way it should be.The only power that the Executive Committee should have,IS THE POWER TO CARRY OUT THE REQUEST OF THE GENERAL MEMBERSHIP ONLY AND SET LIMITS ON ALL SPENDITURES FOR THE EC.AND START WITH AN AUDIT FOR ALL FINANCIAL DEALINGS UP TO THE DATE OF THIS MEETING
. AND ALL MEANS A ALL,INCLUDING THE PETTY CASH THAT IS BEING HIDDEN IN THE OFFICES OF SMITH AND NIETO. IT'S OURS AND NOT THEIRS and we should have the say as to where OUR money is being spent.
IF WE AS A GENERAL MEMBERSHIP OF THIS TRIBE DON'T ACT KNOW,THEN WE NEVER WILL.SHOW THESE PEOPLE THE SUPPORT THAT THEY DESERVE AS PART OF OUR TRIBE.AND DO SIT THEIR AND WAIT ANYLONGER TO SEE WHO VOTES FIRST,STAND UP AND FIGHT OR LOSE EVERY THING THAT OUR ANCESTORS FOUGHT AND DIED FOR SO WE AS THERE DECENDENTS COULD HAVE FREE AND COMFORTABLE LIFE ON THIS RESERVATION.DO YOU WANT TO BE PART OF THE PROBLEM OR PART OF ANSWER? THERE IS NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT TIME TO BECOME STRONG AND TO UNITE PALA AS THE STRONG AND RESPECTED TRIBE THAT IT ONCE WAS.A VICTORY FOR THE EC WILL MEAN MORE EVICTIONS MORE DISENROLLMENTS,MORE STEALING,AND MORE POWER FOR THE EC TO DO WHAT EVER THEY SEE FIT AND NO BENIFIT FOR THE TRIBE AS A WHOLE.
SO PLEASE PEOPLE OF CUPA, DO YOUR PART AS A MEMBER AND STAND TALL AT THIS MEETING AND DO WHAT IS BEST FOR THE PEOPLE OF THIS RESERVATION.
AND TO THE EC OF PALA,GO FUCK YOURSELFS,SORRY THAT'S THE ONLY NICE THING THAT I HAVE TO SAY TO THE EC.
MORONGO already said that they don't want them even trying to get enrolled in their tribe, as they (Morongo) already knows the history of corruption that they have as baggage and want no part of it.
Hey come to think about it, Didn't Pechanga kick the Grandmother out of Pechanga years ago because she was a fraud? that's Lucille Lugo that was married to Steven Lugo from the Banning escapade. I believe so and it was many years ago. You mean to say that is runs on BOTH sides of the Family? Holey Shit.
I hear the BIA is going to send in extra Indians to vote Robert's way. That way Robert will have the vote and no one will be blaming the BIA again. Remember Robert can fly them in from all over the country and promise them a really good time at our casino. He already did it once to vote sanctions against the magnificent 11. What makes you think he won't do it again for this meeting. They all sign in as Lugos. How convenient.
the only thing you have say to them was well said
@ 5:44PM
Are you mad at the EC for something? Is it something that we should know about, Is there any proof of ant thing, BIG or small that you can add to the long, really long list of complaints against the Pala EC.
5:44. You didn't really ask if there was something we are mad about did you? Really? Have you read anything on this blog besides the moronic views of pala Rez. Unbelievable. All I can say is unbelievable. You can lead an idiot to the truth but you can't make them read.
Can Robert, Dion, Maxcey, and Nieto get TANIF if they are looked up in the Federal Prison System, being that TANIF is a Federally funded program.
How come Robert Smith looks 1/2 dead in person. I was totally Surprised when I saw him at Pala Casino a couple of weeks ago. Did someone curse him or something. I mean shit I almost made the sign of the cross when I saw him, I thought I was at his WAKE or something.
Is his karma staring to catch up with him. If it is it's working pretty fast cause he won't be around much longer. And the same goes for his brother Andrew Smith, you know "HappyFeet".
Well maybe his time is near for passing on, it's to bad that he won't be allowed into the PEARLY GATES. For he has done nothing in his life to even warrant a pass. So I guess the pits of hell will welcome him with open arms.
Oh so now you guys are speaking for God to, and lady chief you sound like Luanne Moro or that hooker Bernadine then again I can't tell the difference your both ugly and loud.
Palarez you said you don't say mean things about Brittens well you just did. If you want to name names, watch out it will really get ugly. And that won't accomplish anything but innocent people being called out. And sorry but the Lugo's are not more Indian as you say. Their line is done too. There is obviously more than 1 Palarez a scholarly one, a pretend nice one and an ugly get down dirty one. It is not going to work because the courts will rule in favor of the Brittens.
The Lugo's blood line isn't done. IT NEVER STARTED according to what I have seen / read.
Is that a RED DOT on his forehead. BANG, your gone.
@ Palarez 2:33PM
There you go again, its a given fact that you do not attend Mass or read you Bible Because according to the word in the bible their is no way that RS will be welcome into the Pearly Gates. And that's one place where money does not mean anything, so he can't buy his way in.
So I guess Hell will be getting a new leader real, real soon.
@Palarez2:33 pm
No we are not speaking for God, we are listening to HIM and Reading his word.
@ palarez2:33pm
Its not nice to the kettle black. Look in the mirror and see if it cracks. And calling a person a hooker, how would you know unless you tied and were turned down.
You need a new picture of smith, he look sick in this photo. But he looks even sicker in the recent ones that I have seen. I guess there is such a thing as KARMA.
Robert Please give me a chance to kick your ass before you go off and hang yourself because the Karma for your crimes seems to be killing you off nice and slow. Once it starts there is no stopping it, just ask your friend Leroy Miranda. Take a real good look at what is happening to a once healthy young man who had everything going on for him. You are already cursed with health problems (DIABETAS)that you probably will not survive the 1st round that Karma has in store for you. Oh well,who gives a shit, I did once but not anymore. Better call Valley Center Cemetery and make your arrangements, or San Felippi.For sure NOT the CUPA INDIAN CEMETARY IN PALA.
Robert Smith just needs to go away and stop trying to disrupt this tribe any longer he is nothing but a lying, cheating son of bitch and probably will not live to much longer according to his family tree of death. I just hope that he has a chance to experience the hardships first hand that he has creates on this reservation before he does pass on. I however think that DEATH is to good for him and that total satisfaction would be to see him die in Federal Prison where he belongs.
That a real nice picture of an asshole here, and I guess its wearing glasses because it doesn't want to miss any Dicks that want to enter.
AND PLEASE TAKE PALAREZ WITH YOU. You know that loud mouth piece of shit that has the "RUNS" every time that mouth opens up.
I hope you liker surprises Mr. Smith because you are going to get one very, very soon. And damn I can hardly wait to see the look on your face when it arrives. Would you like a little hint? OK.
You have the right to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@ 10:43 PM
The reason that the Government is doing nothing is because nothing that important gets past the desk of Amy Douschbag in the Regional office in Sac. Any kind of plea from Native People goes straight in the trash can, and never reaches the proper higher ups.
What these BIA people and the Attorney's don't realize is that when Smith goes down, He will without a doubt take everyone down with him.
Including Amy D, Sara D, Nieto, Perez, Maxcey, Lopez Smith, and any and all those people that trusted and believed whatever Smith told them. He will leave no one behind. Just watch and see when things start falling a part in Pala. Oh and also Dennis Turner, and Pam Arviso.
