Alex Polier -- The Kenya connection

For those of you interested in the Alex Polier Kenya connection here is a summary (repeating some of the stuff I wrote yesterday and adding waht little new info there is):

Alex Polier was, as of 5pm Kenya time, hiding out in Nairobi. She and her fiance, Yaron (sp) Schwartzman were staying at the home of his parents Joseph and Hannah. The London Evening Standard reported last night that she was already in the UK. They were wrong, although there is a possibility she may have flown later on last night -- but I think it is more likely she was still here.

Alex and Yaron were moved from the family's palacial home in the upmarket Nairobi suburb of Lavington late last night to avoid the press. They could be anywhere in Kenya -- at the coast or on Safari.

Yaron is believed to work in Nairobi at a company called Film Struck Studios or possible Film Studios. The company is owned by daddy. He is believed to move in a circle of friends known as the "cokehead set". Now there is more than one cokehead set in Kenya, which attracts old wealth, new wealth, British Aristocracy and some of the international gliterrati.

Daddy is the chairman of an engineering company called H Young, which is owned by former cabinet minister Nicholas Biwott. Biwott is a nasty piece of work. Former President Daniel arap Moi's right hand man, a Scotland Yard enquiry named him the prime suspect in the 1990 murder of Foreign Minister Robert Ouko. He plundered the Kenyan treasury and is known here as "the Godfather", "Mr 15 percent" (the cuts he took when awarding tenders to multinational companies) or "The Total Man" (he owns Total Kenya). Daddy is also business partner of Naushad Merali, another Moi frontman, a multimillionaire and probably Kenya's richest Asian.

This would suggest our man Yaron mixes with the 20 and 30-somethings who are the children or spouses of Kenya's leading criminals. The senior members of this set are Biwott's Israeli wife Rita and his son in law Charles Field-Marshall, a controversial Kenya-based Canadian businessman.

Even close friends of Yaron say they know nothing of the relationship with Kerry -- mainly because no-one really knows Alex.

The British press are finding it difficult to track her down -- they are attempting to "doorstep" her. This is a tricky process in nairobi where houses sit on 5-acre plots, cannot be seen from the road, are protected by big black gates, alarms, electric fences, a host of security guards and their dogs.

It has not helped that the British press were also watching the wrong house.

Hope this is useful to someone out there.

It would be much easier for her to come out and tell the press "I don't know what this is all about" so why isn't she? … book deal – she’s a writer! She’ll deny it in the book. It’ll be a hot seller if Kerry is elected, so she has to remain a mystery til then.

[SauronOfMordor]

Well I hear her fiance is hardly a looker. Short and on the fatter side, apparently.

Being wealthy and "connected" makes up for a lot.

[SauronOfMordor]

OTOH, Alex could be a miner, and what she is mining, could be, to her, more valuable than looks.

If you were a moderately attractive young woman interested in meeting wealthy and powerful men, what better job to have than being a reporter?

[CarryaBigStick]

I can see why you don't have an 'about' page. You're juggling nitro my friend, please be very careful.

[SauronOfMordor]

Now I'm really beginning to wonder if this was a honey trap. If so, Kerry's not just a degenerate, he's monumentally STUPID. Yup, real CinC material there...

Access to, and control over, people in powerful jobs is a very valuable commodity. Using the "honey trap" game is not limited to just the KGB. It's used in private industry too

"Has anyone tracked down any more information on the girlfriend who has the goods on the relationship (photos, letters, etc.)? She seems to have dropped from the picture."

This is key, nepdap. W/O Polier not talking (why be silent??) there has to be more facts/evidence to keep this going. I hope that there is more to be revealed. I admit this is "schadenfrued" on my part.

I've heard reliable information that makes me say keep your eyes on a female finance committee staffer of Kerry's. AP is an OLD fling, based on reports. I cannot say more than that now.

[mabelkitty]

Great stuff.
The fact that her family never mentioned a "fiance" leads me to believe it isn't true, but rather a convenient way of dismissing the story.
I find it quite plausible that Kerry or Heinz could have made the call to hide this woman away. If she didn't have an affair, why is she hiding?
What is even more interesting are the connections to criminal elements. If this is plan by Heinz and Kerry, it only makes sense they they know scum at the highest levels of third-world countries.
Did Kerry send any pork this guy's way?

[mabelkitty]

Do you get the impression her dad would kick Kerry's ass if he found it the rumors were true?

[geedee]

I don't know what was said to you in #17 since the moderators ix-nayed it . . . but don't listen to those who'll inevitably bash you. Truth-seekers aren't popular now-days in our society.

I for one appreciate your efforts and HOPE TO HELL your candid and shocking reports are true.

LOL.

While appreciative, I'm also eternally cynical. Once you pass your one-year anniversary at Free Republic or when other sources verify your "scoops," then I'll accept them whole-heartedly.

Right now I only accept them hopefully.

But keep on pitching. Even if they're fiction, they're damn good fiction.

[Julliardsux]

then you should consider my scoop in Post #127.

[mabelkitty]

This is in reference for a former intern named Missy something or other who used to work for the New York Daily News (I believe).

THANKS....PING AGAIN

Bump for

"It's MUCH NASTIER THAN IT SOUNDS."

[Consort]

"Solfeggio" Were Alex and Yaron members of the Nairobi Trio? Was Kerry the third member?

[mabelkitty]

And the DNC - he is, afterall, their ABB choice.
I hope the Patriot Act is watching funds transfers from this crowd to those 527 accounts set-up on Texas.

[nwrep]

Great job, dude. Keep it up.

[Guenevere]

bttt

"It's MUCH NASTIER THAN IT SOUNDS."

I'll bump that again.
