“James Kent (President of SkyWay) is a real strong Republican with a lot of connections in Washington, like U.S. Senator
Mel Martinez,” the former SkyWay employee told us. “And he’s also in tight with a lot of politicians in Tallahassee, like (Republican gubernatorial candidate) Charlie Christ.”
“He was a mole for military intelligence during the Vietnam war. He was with
Air America over there, and I guess he told some people he worked for the
CIA.”
According to SkyWay SEC filings (1), Kent “served in various government contract management positions supporting projects of the Department of Defense, National Security Agency, and Department of the Navy.”
Kent also runs a company,
Online Satellite Communication, which uses an address in Las Vegas (2) which also houses
Voters Outreach of America (3), a Republican Party operation accused of illegal activity and
electoral dirty tricks (4), including destroying
thousands of Democratic registration forms, during the
2004 Presidential election.
