OPINION ǀ Truth 78: Warriors FOR the People, Oversight & Disappointment(S)!

THE Truth is Ambrose was RIGHT and I’m SOOO darn glad Star Marianas decided to FIGHT to keep their business, as WE need both airlines but there are NO warriors fighting FOR the People, which is at the very CORE of the challenges to move forward and upward with our economy and quality of life. WE also now KNOW this subterfuge to get rid of Star Marianas started with Ralph proving my assertion that “someone powerful in the GOP was pulling the strings” — the stink is louder given it was Ralph and now Arnold is trying to finish the subterfuge with the help of Republicans at CEDA. It also implies that Ralph and/or his brothers may have an interest in the MACS deal as “silent partners.” But unlike at Sodom & Gomorrah where there was at least ONE, it looks dim FOR the People to have a single elected warrior to stop Republican subterfuge. I truly miss the bishop!  I’ve been fighting FOR the People since 1998, yet Republicans have FORCED & Breed Bigotry among leaders & people to prioritize my past 50 yrs. ago as being MORE important than progress with the many issues, I’ve written about that are adversely affecting the CNMI.  We’re suffering under Republican bigotry over the need for progress ever since I started writing 26 yrs ago and Locals wonder WHY the CNMI can’t DO & BE a Better place. People KNOW, I’ve tried to HELP with many issues that were ignored, which is their PROOF bigotry is stopping real progress!

I TOLD YOU SO, Arnold was never an Independent, as he’s joining the Republicans to ride Trump’s coattails and even doing “the Trump” asserting “WE should incentivize businesses” when HE knows he is creating a monopoly, as no one can compete with MACS getting a free ride on taxes. If WE are going to offer incentives, I’m sure any real Economist will agree that “We should incentivize ALL Airlines who bring in Tourists,” as “Tourism is OUR Business,” not creating a monopoly and why WE must stop being Poli-tricked by GOP name-switching.  Dems can counter Republicans by DOING Something about their subterfuge or WE are left without representation allowing the subterfuge to continue after over two decades under Republicans. The subterfuge won’t stop until WE the People & our Warriors FOR the People say ENOUGH, as Arnold is already setting Dems up to lose against him in the next election — for TRUE!  

Democrats haven’t fought against anything Republicans are doing, as Democrats even had a chance to STOP Ralph before he was elected. They failed to expose the Ambrosio’s & other alleged bribes of Democrats to the Feds (election crimes) — no FIGHT in them, so WE the People & the Party lose AGAIN! Dems need to know “they need to “man/woman – up to change and make a name fighting FOR the People,” as they are our ONLY hope for real Reforms and Progress — for TRUE! Greatness is truly waiting for somebody to claim it! Democrats Failed-to-FIGHT and stop the Kangaroo Trial, as they should have taken the issue to Court, not accept Jude’s BS stopping Ralph and saving us over 17 million. The oversight after the fact was “too little too late when the money is all gone — DISAPPOINTED for delivering TAYA!  WHO & WHEN is someone going to FIGHT to get Locals access to THEIR money at MPLT to HELP Locals after 42 yrs. of TAYA, as it seems only Republican Governors can get access yet to be repaid & I’m the only one fighting FOR Locals —sad!!!  I won’t even try to explain the lack of “Democrat oversight over the Casino Commission that caused the People to LOSE over 164 million,” that People KNOW I tried to prevent. MORE disappointment. I PROVED WE didn’t need the Cannabis Commission, but Democrats FAILED to FIGHT to stop the waste of OUR money after austerity and now a budget shortfall. Disappointment just continues!

The Democrat Chair for the Cannabis Commission only did a Bill for “Government Employees not to be tested” that he saved for election season just to get re-elected, poli-tricking that worked. But WE need the entire industry reformed, as WE have lost money every year in the Commission’s existence. I’m sure the Republican Bigotry has gotten to him, as he “ghosted me and even refuses to discuss the industry with me.” I truly tried to talk with Democrats & him to avoid what you are reading now but they are suffering the Bigotry-Affliction. I was personally disappointed, as I was his teacher in high school, and I personally saw him change, which was even more disappointing.  I taught all my students to “be professionals without biases and prejudices” but if it can happen to one of my students it can happen to anyone. If the Democrats don’t become real warriors FOR the People to keep the Republicans & the Governor in check, they are virtually WORTHLESS, which has continued to be reflected in the voting for PROOF with no Democrat Governor since the 1990s, as 2-decades is a very disappointing showing Dems! Republicans have “lulled Democrats to sleep & to even hate me,” when I’m one of the GOP’s biggest threats, which is why they keep trying to destroy me, as Dems must change in the ultimate Team Sport of Politics!

I missed the Public Hearing, but I learned it was just about MACS, as they didn’t want citizens to connect-the-dots to Star Marianas’ eviction like I did, as it seems CEDA’s even LIED to the People about “creating competition,” knowing they were creating a monopoly, which more than justifies OVERSIGHT before the Governor signs. But Dems aren’t fighting FOR the People, just sitting as Arnold’s uses his pledge to some Dems “not to fire them” just to keep Dems “in check” and from “checking him” when it clear now that Oversight is warranted after the LIES being exposed — poli-tricking AGAIN!  More Smoke & Mirrors, just like the Governor’s Small Business Advisory Council Zaldy mentioned that has NEVER been used. I knew when the Governor implied CEDA was the experts that Poli-tricking was being served to the People — duh! It’s clear the Governor is “fighting back against Ambrose with his assertion of “incentivizing businesses” which is why Locals, especially Dems, need to realize Ambrose & Zaldy can’t be the only people placing a check on the Governor if WE the People are to move forward economically and socially. Republicans won’t do anything, and People are even asking me now WHERE are YOUR Dems in the fight FOR the People? People can see from my list of 33 oversights that something went very WRONG — no checks & balances that only Dems can do. WE the People need WARRIROS with a backbone in the Political Arena of our adversarial designed government, not spineless pacifists — just giving out some tough LOVE with no disrespect intended! The PROOF of subterfuge is in the details of TRUTH, so please Wakeup Dems FOR the People before it’s too darn late AGAIN!
