Happy Thanksgiving from Havasu Lake

Dear Sharon

Out here at Havasu Lake we have much to be thankful for, not the least of which is iepolitics and our dear friend Sharon.

iepolitics has proven to be the lone voice of reason in the face of corruption, speaking truth to those in power, and doing so boldly.

iepolitics coverage of events at Havasu Lake, in compilation with the development of dedicated opposition to Supervisor Mitzelfelt and his violent triple felon associate, Gary Chamberlain, has had an immeasurable impact on Brad Mitzelflet’s mean-spirited, revenge oriented political aspirations.

Brad, in the political analysis of your electability to higher office, what credit do Sharon and I deserve?  Both Sharon and myself are arguably your biggest victims, but unfortunately for you, we  have stood up and became the means to your end.

Editor’s Note:  I heard about Ms. Massey’s passing last night.  I know she was well respected in Havasu Lake and will be missed.  I was very disheartened as I got close to the end of this letter.  This is so typical Brad.  Mitzelfelt is one of the most selfish and heartless people I have encountered in my lifetime.  The comments that have gotten back to me about him and his office wishing I would take my own life, etc., says a lot about the man.  I can see him using a tragedy for his own benefit. 

Dear Sharon

Donna Massey, long time resident and President of the Havasu Lake Firebelles passed away on 10-19-11.

To San Bernardino Fire Capt. Bill Massey, we wish to extend our most heartfelt condolences for the loss of your beloved wife. Donna was a pillar of our community and will be sorely missed by all.

The Firebelles were Donna’s work product, and Donna worked tirelessly, raising more than $1.5 mil for County Fire.

The Firebelles will be hard pressed to ever replace Donna Massey, but thankfully for us all, Virginia Powell has stood up and accepted the role as president of the Havasu Lake Firebelles, and we all support her.

Dear Sharon
“Rat me out and I will spill the beans!”

Brad Mitzelfelt is fighting an uphill battle against the high ground of history.

Brad had the jurisdiction and legal authority (533 US 363 2001 ) to prevent this young mans death, as well as the deaths of four other innocent citizens. Brad has never spoken to this as Brad has again been compromised, this time around by Tribal Govt. knowledge of Brad’s role in this tragedy. Whats wrong Brad? Cat got your tongue?

Brad Mitzelfelt’s record at Havasu Lake is apparently so politically toxic that even the slightestmention of our town sends shivers of fear through even the most highly placed San Bernardino Co. politicos.

This situation is currently highlighted by the Karen Chamberlain case cover-up in which Brad Mitzelfelt appointee Karen Chamberlain allegedly embezzled $7K from the Havasu Lake Senior Coalition, (one and a half times the amount of the Neil Derry case).

Dear Sharon
The recent speculation as to the hiring of one of the parties involved in the 1986 explorer scout rape case as a Tribal dept. head should raise many questions. 

Hope springs eternal, but it looks like its the same old song and dance: “But he wasn’t convicted.”

In the course of business the Security Director for an operation of that size will in the line of duty come into contact with Indian Children, and supervise staff in contact with kids.

The Indian Child Welfare Act prohibits hiring people such as this, its up to the Tribe to exercise discretion about hiring a disgraced San Bernardino County Sheriffs Deputy who was arrested for, and lost his job over allegations of raping an explorer scout, but somehow was shielded from a conviction.

The Town of Havasu Lake was also forced to suffer through one of these rapist rejects, who liked to drink beer, burn kush and drive around Chemehuevi wash at high speed, at night with his SBSD night vision device. Jimmy was so ripped he drove right past me…

Northern Ireland has “The Troubles,”
At Havasu Lake we have “The Problems.”

Recent progress towards an amicable resolution of “The problems” at Havasu Lake has apparently struck a nerve. Knee jerk reactions intended to derail much needed, long sought after good will at Havasu Lake will not prevail.

With the destruction of Brad Mitzelfelt’s openly corrupt Havasu Lake Municipal Advisory Council, iepolitics has proven to be the only venue to communicate with Brad et al, as well as other interested local parties. iepolitics excels in this role. Our dear friend Sharon has been a Godsend to the citizens of Havasu Lake.

Brad’s inability to seat a real, credible board at Havasu Lake, instead of corrupt drunks or non-appointed imposters is a direct result of Brad’s very ugly, very well documented record of corruption and negligence. No one wants to be associated with the Postmus-Mitzelfelt era, especially right before it peters out and dies!

Brad has proven to be either unable or unwilling to provide even a modicum of leadership or representation for the town of Havasu Lake, Brad having never visited even one of our M.A.C. meetings. Why is this Brad? A whole decade of no shows leaves many questions.

No More Brad

Dear Sharon

Back in the good ol’days of the freshly appointed Mitzelfelt Administration, back before all of this recent nastiness, back when Brad still had something to say…..

Brad described, for the press, his role in the recently departed regime of his predecessor, First District Supervisor Bill Postmus, it went something like this:

“The Chief of Staff is the most knowledgeable person in the district, being briefed on every issue, sometimes knowing more than even the Supervisor himself.”

Dear Sharon

The elimination of Brad Mitzelfelt’s openly compromised and fully corrupt Havasu Lake Municipal Advisory Council has apparently opened the door to a glimmer of hope at Havasu Lake, the Postmus-Mitzelfelt era (2000-2011) slowly floating downstream, out of sight and mind.

The record of events at Havasu Lake speaks volumes as to Brad’s character,motives and tactics, and provides great ammunition for the upcoming political spectacle. We will assure that Brad receives exactly what he meted out to the town of Havasu Lake.

Currently at Havasu Lake Brad is again involved with his old cronies, violent triple felon Gary Chamberlain (Mitzelfelt appointee and M.A.C. President)and his equally corrupt wife (Mitzelfelt appointed M.A.C. Secretary) Karen Chamberlain.

It is appearing that Supervisor Brad Mitzelfelt continues to cover for his previous MAC appointee and his wife.  We are being told that the Sheriff’s DR has been lost en route to the District Attorney and Mitzelfelt’s office is being secretive.

I was asked to pass along our “thanks” to the tribal chairman out there.  I’m afraid that as I type this, his name has completely slipped my mind, but THANK YOU anyway.  Amazing what can be done when politicians are left out of the equation.

Supervisor Brad Mitzelfelt

A while back First District chief of staff David Zook accused me of destroying the Havasu Lake Municipal Advisory Council (MAC).  Why?  Because after a year of the citizens out there trying to get Supervisor Brad Mitzelfelt to do something about the three-time felon who was serving on the MAC, I started reporting on the issues.  You see, Brad not only had a MAC member with serious felony convictions, but he had members that had never been approved by the board.  There was also issues with the minutes turning up missing and strong arming against the citizens who showed up by the three-time felon.  As I said, this was all my fault as we all know I have control over what Brad does and doesn’t do.

Dear Sharon

Child Abuse/Molestation is an all to common recurring tragedy out here in the real wild west, each and every case is a new heartache, and true to form, in a cyclic Tribal entitlement culture of addictive vice, new episodes are bound to occur.

One of my dear friends here on the reservation has, in the past, very carefully inserted particles of hot lead into the bodies of Child Molesters, non-lethal dosages of tender loving care, and then ran the perverts out to the corner of 17 Mile Rd. & U.S. 95 and told them to hitchhike!!

Dear Supervisor Mitzelfelt

As You are aware the town of Havasu Lake has been effectively landlocked by the issuance of a Trust Patent for the Chemehuevi Indian Reservation. This fact is being suppressed by the local media at the behest of your office.

Brad, you were elected to represent the citizens of San Bernardino County not to pander to Indian Gaming.

A NIGHTNARE STRAIGHT FROM HELL!!!

Dear Sharon

The Citizens of Havasu Lake Ca. are in for a rough ride, the issuance of an even further enabling Trust Patent to the nearby Chemehuevi Indian Reservation can only indicate that we are in for more of the same nightmare that we have suffered through for the last thirty six years, only worse!

Past history is always the best indicator of future events and our history here at Havasu Lake is both extremely ugly and very well documented. The genesis of all of our grief being the totalitarian mindset of a small cadre that has taken control of the Tribal Govt. The views of this clique are extreme to say the least and can best be described as the devaluation of the lives and interests of Non-Indians and Non-voting Tribal Members.

Dear Sharon

The B.L.M. has reportedly issued a Trust patent for the Chemehuevi Indian reservation to the B.I.A. office in Parker Az.  Federal register: June 24 2010 (Volume 75, number 121) Pages 36118-36119 Public Land Order 7743

This Order directly impacts the town of Havasu Lake Ca. but according to Andy Silva as of noon today (7-1-10) Supervisor Mitzelfelt had not even been briefed on this issue. Unfortunately for the citizens of Havasu Lake Supervisor Mitzelfelts unique relationship with Indian Gaming interests effectively prohibits any leadership in this sad situation. Continue reading →

Dear Sharon,

On 4-10-2010 Tribal Attorney Lester Marston sued the Secretary of Interior and various high ranking Officials of Interior for violations of the Mission Indian Relief Act, 26 Stat. 712, and the Administrative Procedures Act, 5 U.S.C. 701, for Agency action unreasonably delayed.(U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California)

The Tribe alleges that in 1907 the Secretary by “Administrative oversight” failed to issue the Tribe a Trust Patent on its Reservation. This Lawsuit raises many questions…..

1-If the tribe is suing Interior for a Trust patent for the Land on which it operates its Casino then obviously the Land is not and never has been held in Trust.

2-If not Trust Land then the Land should of been on the Counties Tax Rolls, Millions of Dollars are due in back Taxes,BILLBRAD has been briefed on this issue but once again cannot risk upsetting INDIAN GAMING dollars! Continue reading →

And I kinda miss it, so here goes from my favorite Havasu Lake informant:

Dear Sharon,

Small towns out in the middle of nowhere are in reality true microcosyms of our society as a whole, one of the few benefits of this being that the bad acts of corrupt politicians really stand out, the case of Brad Mitzelfelts Havasu Lake M.A.C. debacle being especially egregious.

For those iepolitics readers unfamiliar with the record of events at Havasu Lake a quick review is in order, just try not to laugh to hard! This is a sad tale born of addictive vice but is never the less so comical in its sheer stupidity that it is truly hilarious! (Please review PARTY HEAT.COM or on TRU-TV) Continue reading →

Some day I must go visit that place but I think will need an entire brigade from the U.S. Military to come along to guard me.  I’m not sure how this blog is having such an effect out there.  It would be funny if it wasn’t a little scary to think they take this so seriously.

I have received a series of emails that apparently my blog entries about the rave and other happenings on the reservation have triggered a tribal inquisition scheduled for April 10.  Here is one of the emails I have received:

Dear Sharon
Yes, You!!!!You good for nothing…..NON-FACTOR!!!!!!YOU…….Blogger!!!!
Oh my, it’s absolutely wonderful!!!I can hardly stop laughing long enough to breath!!!!
Sharon, I have told you of the poor TRIBAL DISSENTER being framed for COLLABORATION W/IEPOLITICS,
Now the Tribal Chair has actually had this individual served with an invitation to provide testimony about SHARON GILBERT and IEPOLITICS and other Groups and individuals motives at a a “Special Council meeting about IEPOLITICS.”
The joy here is unbelievable!!!! Its like FREE ALCOHOL at the REZ!!!!!Right now I am happier than Martha Wetmore, on Saturday night, under a full moon, in July!!!   Yee Ha! Continue reading →

I’ve apparently upset some tribal leaders with posts suggesting we are going to be taking a closer look at the goings on in Havasu Lake.  In response to their last comments, I received the following information.  I should note that this informant has been very accurate in the past and has written documentation on most, if not all, of what they claim below.

“TRIBAL” claims that the biggest issue confronting the tribe is jobs, jobs, jobs and their “remote location” is the reason for the debacle at Chemehuevi.  The real reasons behind the failure of the Tribal Government to capitalize on having temporary jurisdiction over an extremely lucrative venue (western shore of water sports capitol): Continue reading →

Editor:  I have been told that in the years since the rave described below another 24 individuals have lost their lives and these deaths continue to be covered up.  I have not been able to confirm much of anything except that the tribe is apparently terrified of this blog and of having the Federal Bureau of Investigation becoming involved again.  Anyway, here is a story written by George Watson when he was a reporter with the Press Enterprise.  He actually camped out up there and witnessed the rave first hand.

3 dead after rave in Mojave Desert
LAKE HAVASU: One overdose, two wrecks and a turnout of more than 20,000 confirm authorities’ greatest fears.

BY GEORGE WATSON
THE PRESS-ENTERPRISE
LAKE HAVASU

They had come to the Chemehuevi Indian Reservation for a memorable dance in an ancient territory. But when tens of thousands of people left the 14-hour overnight rave Sunday, the most lasting memory was of the casualties left behind.

One person died from what was believed to be an overdose during the rave billed as “Nocturnal Wonderland” in the middle of the Mojave Desert.

Two other victims, neither from the rave, were killed in separate accidents involving people who authorities said had been at the rave that began the night before. Continue reading →

I have been involved with too many other things lately to pursue either of these issues, but since both bands of Indians contribute heavily to the political process in San Bernardino County it is time to return to the subject.

One of the accusations I hear frequently is about the number of deaths on these reservations that are overlooked or covered up.  No wonder considering the amount of gifts and contributions made to county officials, including the District Attorney. Continue reading →

Information is surfacing about the possible cover up of several deaths at Havasu Lake by the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors.  iePolitics is investigating further but we have been told that at a rave during the Labor Day weekend in 2001 at least five deaths occurred.  We are also told that this band of Chemehuevi Indians are campaign contributors to one or more members of our Board of Supervisors.  Here is a link to a short magazine article:  Havasu Homepage

From what I am told, these are only a few of the deaths that have occurred over a period of years.  If anyone has additional information, please email us at info@iepolitics.com

I was recently told of the issues with the Havasu Lake Municipal Advisory Council, including the fact that one of the members has been convicted of at least three felonies, as previously reported.  There are claims this group attempts to run roughshod over the entire town with little concern for ethics, integrity or the law.

I was also advised that some of the members’ terms have expired while others were sitting on the council, having never been appointed.  From the Clerk of the Board’s website:

The Council shall be composed of five (5) members who are recommended by the member of the Board of Supervisors representing the community of Havasu Lake.  Council members shall be residents the area and shall be registered to vote at a residence within the boundaries of the Council.  Each appointment shall be by majority vote of the Board of Supervisors, and all members shall serve at the pleasure of the Board of Supervisors.

I’m not sure I would have believed this one if I hadn’t seen the flyer with my own eyes, but it seems that drunk drivers rule the community of Havasu Lake, California.  Some of  San Bernardino County Supervisor Brad Mitzelfelt’s Havasu Lake Municipal Advisory Council members were organizing a meeting to complain about California Highway Patrol officers enforcing drunk driving laws in that community.  From what I understand, to his credit, the supervisor intervened.  But the bigger question is why doesn’t he do something about his MAC.  It seems it has been ignored for far too long.  There must be a few normal people in the area who would like to serve.
