I am really glad to here Jon Lilyea is dying of MLS. A wart of a man and a pox in public. You too should take an exit. Your sins are not forgotten and many people that you offended are taking note.<\/p>\n

See ya soon.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Boy are you ex military types stupid, broke, with bad Internet skills and desparate outlooks on life. Just as I said, you are all low life thugs, from blue collar backgrounds, living life “large” in blogs.<\/p>\n

You poor attempts at any kind of communications are only masked by your low brow intellects.<\/p>\n

Two years have shown that you will contimue to live in the bottom 5th of society, and embittered by you betters.<\/p>\n

Several of you I am looking for as to your tongues. The blond bitch form the little por town in AL, wise ass Chip NASA and just an old dog. Lets see how much you like looking over your shoulder until the inevitable rattle in the night.<\/p>\n

Slugs, cretins and worms.<\/p>\n

You lose<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Wow, even after being discovered, you stupid ex-military types are dumb, broke and with bad hobbies on the Internet.<\/p>\n

You have nothing to show for it and are really purile. NO worries all still being tracked. Lilyea is dying and seavey got suspended. Little pecker games, you worthless mutts and mongrels. Caht amoungst yourselves.<\/p>\n

Imbeciles– nothing to show for it.<\/p>\n

Fat stupid, drunk and with a finite lfespan is no way to go through life.<\/p>\n

White niggers & low lives<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Wickre<\/a><\/p>\n

Wickre’s new website for FirsTech.<\/a><\/p>\n

Palmer “Paul” Wickre, CEO & acting VP of sales has a storied past in startups, turnarounds, launches and public IPO’s. A graduate of Catholic University with a BSEE, an MBA from the University of Pittsburgh and a MS Law in Federal Contracting is his pedigree. Paul launched his career with IBM whereby he led the team that created the entire back office for MCI Communications, entitling the deregulation of US Carriers a $36B business at the time, He went on to US Sprint, and was the founder of the FTS 2000 effort, leading to competition in the Federal deregulated Telecommunication market, removing the AT&T Monopoly. During his tenure, US Sprint went from $17 to over $60, He has worked with a dozen startups consulting, on the way to IPO, successfully.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

NOTE: Picture there is not Wickre. It is a Shutterstock image of “Portrait of Young Businessman<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Karen Wiliams Chairman, majority shareholder is a long standing participant in US Public Policy, legislation and appropriations for the public sector, from her venue on Capitol Hill. She served in the White House for President Bush. Schooled in legislative affairs she has a lengthy history in the FL delegation, serving Jeb Bush, Charles Canady, Adam Putnam and now the Congressional (R-12-FL) representative, Con. Southerland. Karen’s reach is in International trade and oversight into security matters through the Department of Homeland Security. Karen is a graduate of Sweet-Briar College, and holds an JD from her graduate studies at George Washington University. She is known as the “best friend” of the US Trade Representative in matters of US export policy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

NOTE: Picture is not Williams (Wickre’s wife). It is a Shutterstock image of “Business Woman in a black suit<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Note also that the business involves Federal Contracting, and Karen Williams is using her status as a federal employee of a Congressman for puffery. \u00a0She is the Legislative Director for Representative (“Rep” not “Con”) Southerland.<\/p>\n

Contrary to the bio, Representative Steve Southerland is a Republican Congressman in the 2nd District<\/a>, not the 12th. \u00a0 It has been suggested that a Legislative Director steering federal contracts to a company which he\/she is the Chairman and Majority Shareholder of may run afoul of\u00a0Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR Clauses). \u00a0I have contacted a lawyer friend specializing in Congressional ethics cases and will have more shortly.<\/p>\n

Representative Southerland’s race is considered a “Toss Up” by Larry Sabato at the University of Virginia Center for Politics<\/a>. \u00a0His opponent is Gwen Graham<\/a>, who has no employees or campaign staff who have ever to my knowledge threatened to kill my wife, get me fired or sent me racist, homophobic or sexist emails. \u00a0Also, I can not confirm that she has pure Viking blood.<\/p>\n
