WHAT IS IT ABOUT "ALAIMO STRATEGIES LLC" (ASLLC) THAT SEEMS SO DODGY AND FISHY?" (Updated January 10, 2023)



No EIN. 

Wonder why? 

New business established by ROY ALYRE ALAIMO, JR., Governor DeSantis's December 22, 2022 appointee to a vacant St. Johns County Commission seat vacated by death of Commissioner Paul Waldron.  

Commissioner-designate ROY ALYRE ALAIMO, JR. and St. Johns County PIO refuse to answer questions about the lack of an EIN. 

Business owner ROY ALYRE ALAIMO, JR. ignores questions sent by e-mail. 

ALAIMO refuses to answer whether he lives in District 3. 

ALAIMO refuses to answer the nature of his business, ALAIMO STRATEGIES, LLC, founded on November 7, 2022. 

That was only 45 days before Governor DeSantis issued a press release describing ALAIMO as a "businessman" and "owner" of ALAIMO STRATEGIES, LLC. 

Meanwhile, our Supervisor of Elections, VICHY OAKES, no longer has a search box on her website for financial disclosure forms.  I finally received ALAIMO's disclosures filed as a Planning and Zoning Agency member (first requested last year).  Some of them show a secondary source of income from WHITEHURST JEWELRY.

What did ALAIMO do for WHITEHURST JEWELRY?

Was this money for working as a sales clerk, or as a political consultant?

How much money was ALAIMO paid by the business of County Commission Chairman CHRISTIAN WHITEHURST?

What's going on here? 

What do these TRAVIS HUTSON developer cat's paws have to hide?

You tell me.

Still waiting for a conversation with ROY ALYRE ALAIMO, JR.

Here are my e-mails to Commissioner-designate ROY ALYRE ALAIMO, JR.:

Dear Mr. Alaimo and Ms. Inclan:
1. What is the Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) number for Mr. Alaimo's putative business, ALAIMO STRATEGIES (ASLLC)?
2. Does ASLLC have an Employer Identification Number (EIN)?  What is it?
3. What is the nature of the business of ALAIMO STRATEGIES, LLC.?  
4. Who are ASLLC's clients?
5. Does St. Johns County Commissioner-designate ROY ALYRE ALAIMO, JR. reside in District 3?
6. James Madison wrote in 1822 that "A popular Government, without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or, perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance: And a people who mean to be their own Governors, must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives."  
7. Please call me to discuss today.  We have a Right to Know.
Thank you.

They "do business" in bug swept and smoke filled basements. On satellite phones they coordinate their "activities." For the most serious matters they meet half naked in the forest and pass letters that are burned on site right after they are read. Then it's off to the committee meetings to feed the hogs a bunch of appeasing propaganda. The hogs eat it up every bit. They've gone so low over the last decade that they don't know their asses from a hole in the wall. You gotta figure if they fell for Trump then they'll fall for anything. These are whorish times.

Yeah they play "poker games." That's how they pass off the dirty money and the bribes and the payoffs. One intentionally loses a hand to another. And of course we have 'spending money" on "services" to each other's businesses. They've got a million sneaky tricks to keep the palms greased. Even a little "short term employment " might suffice with "paychecks" switching hands many times. Undetectable, space age bribery. Without it, the machine just won't function. Just no real motivation to do anything without the green lube!
