New Church circle, same Puppeteer running the "Rasta" scam
Well, it's come time for us to shift the gears of our focus just a very little bit for a minute as there's some new "churches" attempting to form and establish themselves as legit churches per the same angry puppeteer bringing drama around our church so that you will know and beware as they focus on the Pacific Northwest. Boys and girls, you all remember Mr. Matthew "Angry Birdbrained" Pappas right here, don't you? Surely you will also remember ONAC's "Kenwood" case, Pastafarian Scott Bates, but the guy in the center is a fairly new face caught up in the mixing of this brew... this is Pappas's New Sergio Sandoval, everyone take mental note of Mr. Brent D. Fraser.

For those of you who don't know, Matt Pappas was the attorney for Oklevueha since about the fall of 2015. Pappas was to handle many cases for Oklevueha in court, including a case for Scott Bates when he was an ONAC member in good standing. Ultimately Pappas signed on "Pro Bono" as lead counsel for the whole of Oklevueha and Scott Bates was the first case Pappas signed onto and screwed up costing a loss on Bates part and his church to be run out of Sonoma County, California as well as all other cases he'd filed on to be lost and or dismissed, so why it is Bates remains a loyal pup at his side leaves room for a sanity question on his part.
The answer is found in his agenda, to form a Rasta church of his own. This decision came after Bates was put on Distrust by Oklevueha Native American Church. Bates had tried to "convert all ONAC churches into Rasta Churches" Obviously that is not an option for ONAC but Bates was determined, so ultimately he teamed up with Team Pappas and now here they go, starting there own brand new church.
Scott Bates had this to say: "A Church formed to provide Sacramental Cannabis Ministries to spiritual aspirants of all faiths is the logical extension of the personal faith of it’s founders, in the efficacy of Sacramental Cannabis in assisting individuals seeking to develop a personal relationship with the Creator and in experiencing the progressive awakening of spiritual consciousness." Apparently people cannot find that in a real church that actually conducts ceremonies and services, but thankfully these guys are making a new church for us, right.
According to Scott Bates: "Our activities as Churches and the Sacramental Cannabis Ministries we conduct are harmonious with the clear and obvious divine will and intention. Cannabis is the most healing plant on Earth. Cannabis has the unique capacity to enhance the higher spiritual attunement of individuals allowing them to receive spiritual fruits and grow from their comprehension of spiritual values and meanings. As the fundamental organization unit of all creation the Church Family is meant to be the building blocks of the greater human family. Let us pray we may be the foundation of a new harmonious way of living that uplifts all people and restores balance and harmony to our world."
The reason Bates says they Needed to form a new church is because: "The call to service that is consequent on expanding spiritual awareness and values drives our Ministries of Sacramental Cannabis. Any person who comes to such a member Church and wishes to join in Sacramental Cannabis Ministries is not required to believe in anything specific set of doctrines of dogmas, save that Cannabis is essential to the personal path of spiritual discovery and knowing God they have chosen." Wow, you don't need to believe in ANYTHING to be a member of these churches! That ought to carry them far when before the courts being questioned for distinct legal history and doctrine huh!
"Those that refuse truth and harden their hearts against reality endanger there very existence. Habituated refusal of reality on any level results absolutely in the eventual cosmic insanity of the completely ego dominated personality. Cannabis quiets the fear driven ego allowing spiritual receptivity to increase and spiritual perceptions to be enhanced. It attunes our consciousness to a harmonious state of integration with all levels of reality, facilitating intuitive and inspired thinking and acting."
As most of you know, we have a similar situation going on from Sugarleaf "Church" which are also calling themselves "Rasta" rooted. Thing of it is, that according to the official Rasta church of the United States Sugarleaf is NOT an officially authorized Rasta church. This circle proves no different, as none of them are authorized and NONE of them have Any credentials from the Rasta faith endorsing them as such. "Pastafarians" are what they're called, because they are fake Rasta's! If you don't believe us we Highly encourage you to contact them with your inquiry direct and see for yourself. Our previous article titled that the Rasta's speak out, there contact information is in there for your convenience:
So, Brent Fraser is the new addition to "Team Pappas", and unfortunately is being laughed at for being but a "cheap knock off" of Sergio Sandoval, or is he an improved model as it seems he will do with Pappas what Sandoval wouldn't! Based on the picture, we honestly remain unsure but are confident that time Will ultimately tell in the end. People close to the pair do say it's a common "inside joke" that Pappas is referred to as being Fraser's husband, a joke never to be had in Sandoval who is a proud father and a loving boyfriend to baby's momma!

It's interesting that Fraser lists himself as working for "Church Services Corporation of America, Inc." claiming himself Only the title of "Vice President" as we are fairly certain Pappas created the company specifically for Fraser to run and operate, but what's even More interesting to us is that according to Fraser, the corporation is rooted in Cave Junction, Oregon where he focuses on "Building, Guiding, Supporting Compliances." Many wonder why of all places that the duo would root there new endeavor in cave Junction, Oregon?
Fraser also lists that he Also works for the "Circle of Cannabis Churches" as an "Organizer" in Westminster, California, more than 1,000 miles from Church Services Corp. of America Inc. but maybe it's not all that much of a problem as this too is where Fraser says his focus is "Building, Guiding, Supporting Compliances", essentially the same thing the Oregon company is doing, just in California too meaning essentially a little different laws but for the most part the same.
So where does Washington state fit into this mix? Well, it seems to be there start point for launching there fake "Circle of Cannabis Churches" church unification scam, and Fortunately for them, Fraser's Mother lives in Washington state so they will have a base camp as they begin initiating this scam in the green state just as Pappas's other puppet Heidi Grossman-Lepp attempted to also do just last month in Washington state as well, fortunately for residents then, ONAC was able to stop and shut it down before any victims were inflicted. Tomorrow, ONAC fears that they will not prove to be so lucky for the residents this go round.
More notable to many is that Fraser lists himself as working predominantly for the "Law Offices of Matthew S. Pappas, Esquire," where he lists himself as "Juris Doctor" as well as "PR & Communication Director" where he claims to "Direct and conduct communications with press, clients and courts." Sounds more like glorifying the title Secretary to us, but that can't be as there is so much More to cleaning up after Pappas than mere coordinating communications with people for heaven's sake, it's a 25 hour 8 day a week job dealing with Pappas's daily life's dramas and obstacles! "With Pappas comes all the official work, and too, all his personal dramas, including Especially his ex-wife and children and his "Time outs" for mental breakdown, which are all too frequently anymore and tons of last second deadlines ya gotta scramble in hopes to meet in order to keep it all afloat" say people extremely close to Pappas who say it's an endless and tiring task bringing little to no appreciation at all from the man THEY keep looking fairly competent publicly.
According to Fraser's public profile he also is the owner/operator of: "A Mhòr-fhaiche Public Relations, Inc." which established "April 4, 2014 to presentI invest in creators, donating time promoting positive, life enriching, artistic, beneficent, compassionately motivated individuals or companies. I am most passionate about peoples' work in fields ranging from music and film, writing and poetry, art and architecture, to civil rights, disability advocacy and constitutional law, most recently surrounding the medical cannabis movement and individuals or groups work for the seriously ill and disabled people involved. Like all inspiring professional or personal pursuits I can see good, generous people undertake, if I believe in YOU; your cause, your passion, your love, your dreams, you can believe this world of ours is going to hear about it and see a substantial amount of it from me. If you believe there is something we could do together that may bring about enrichment, relief or comfortable ease in the world we share, feel free to inquire with me."
Brent David Fraser is the replacement for Sergio Sandoval with Matt Pappas. Frasier lists himself as being "Vice President at Church Services Corporation of America, Inc." which is believed to have been started by Pappas for him. According to him, he also studied "Theatre and Dramatic Arts at University of North Carolina School of the Arts" which is always a good trait for Pappas to find in others, actorship as drama and chaos remains the center root of Pappas's overall foundation in basic life function!
Basically Pappas has always needed a "Bounty" guy handy to clean up all his messes. That used to be Sergio Sandoval's job until Pappas set out to screw over ONAC which conflicted with Sandoval's moral compass so as Pappas did, Sandoval sided with ONAC and continues to since as our legal team coordinator. Fraser jumped into Sandoval's seat with the broom and dustpan and has been hard at work for Pappas since which is a never ending job as soon he will see.
Last year, after harming ONAC as deeply as he did, Pappas was barred from practicing law in federal court for just those very same half-assed tactics in a Non-ONAC case which ended up costing not only him a permanent mark on his professional record, but literally landed up costing the client screwed literally Hundreds of Thousands of dollars! Good thing for them that he should finally be allowed back into federal court about now as between this up and coming scam and Sugarleafs, it's likely they will soon be landing up there and this way Pappas can represent them, unless of coarse they want Competent legal representation that is, then they'd better get another!
........................................................................................................................
Matthew Pappas, was Admitted to The California state BAR in 1994 as #171860 after getting his law degree online. Pappas has since acquired quite the reputation as a fly-by-night attorney who takes on many worthy court battles, he just Rarely shows up to see them through to completion or File everything necessary for the courts to rule in favor of his "clients." Pappas publicly states that "The Law Office of Matthew Pappas is a law firm based out of Westminster, California but has satellite offices throughout Southern California to give a voice to those who have none. Office locations include Long Beach, Garden Grove, Santa Ana, Stanton, and Lake Forest."
Here you will find a link to the case Pappas screwed up and ultimately was banned from federal court for a year for: http://members.calbar.ca.gov/courtDocs/16-J-16395.pdf
As we have Matthew Pappas to thank for Sugarleaf"Churches" in California, now too we have these so-called "Rasta based churches" along the west coast as well, interesting indeed considering he declares himself an atheist and yet continues operating at least 2 illegitimate ONAC named churches he created for himself Without the authorization of Oklevueha with the electronic signature of founder James Mooney and ultimately is the reason initiating his disassociation from the church for running a very similar scam Sugarleaf also was disassociated for - selling unauthorized churches! Apparently disrespecting another's beliefs ain't no thing to them, sad indeed.
So please be wary of them tomorrow as seats have been bought so fake churches can established off bought blessings in Washington state - This ladies and gentlemen is Apparently what They would have all our religions come to - another business venture scam so THEY can get rich quick and steady. To each there own we suppose but that will Never become what WE are about and we doubt other honorable faiths will follow or buy in. Keep an eye out for your fellow human beings too who might not know or be aware of this or them, you could make the difference that preserves they and their families!
As always, we thank you ever so kindly for your continued interest and support in all that we as Oklevueha Native American Church are out here trying to do and secure for YOU our beloved members and supporters. Please stay tuned for future updates about this and other issues catching to our attention. Go in a good way
