Alex Polier -- The Kenya connection

Free Republic | 14th Feb 2004 | Free Republic

[propertius]

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.

I am not so sure it is dislike for Drudge as much as it is --if Fox brings this forward, it will be completely branded as a Right-wing Smear Campaign.

Remember, Fox is considered "The Enemy" by the Alphabet Soup DNC run Networks. As for not liking Drudge, Hannity has him on his show regularly.

Don't mess with pickle woman.

Very, very tough.

[mountaineer]

I don't think so, either.

My source says that is the current one. AP is a past issue, and there is a second one, but I couldn't get info about her. But the third one is an ongoing one, and that is the finance staffer. From what this source said. And let me assure you that this source would have heard it where he/she told me he/she heard it, and it is impressive. This source has no reason to make this up.

[tomahawk]

You have awesome sources and information.

Thanks for posting your info!

Africa....???? That's where that new disease is

[Julliardsux]

Where these interns in the pic? Because I am talking a senate staffer - would be a bit older and more professional.

It's not you, I have been watching for her...nada

[Beck_isright]

You forget the bitter divorce FNC has with Drudge over his show. Ailes got mad over Drudge bringing his style of reporting to the airwaves.

I also note that Fox has hired droves of what FReepers used to consider the most liberal of reporters. I'm losing a lot of trust in their reporting and judgement with each passing day.

[Beck_isright]

Clinton must be praying for a cure asap.

In the "business", so to speak, a "honey trap" is set when a particuarly beautiful or alluring female operative is introduced into the information gathering process, and her charms bring someone into the flow of information one is seeking to exploit. The stuff a lot of Jame's Bond movies were based on. Kim Jong il in North Korea uses these as well trained female "hostesses" in his kipmujo detachment...who fawn all over foreign visitors to Pyongyang with information or exploitable connections....

Check this out.
See how many former Kerry interns get jobs in the media.

Apparently, Alex Polier also worked at ABC news.

Now we know why there is a media black-out - they are all covering for each other.

Is it me: has anyone seen Mrs. Ketchup since "the News"

Teresa Heinz does not want to be First Lady, and she does not want to be President, either.

When asked about infidelity, she made an aside "maybe I have a thing for 18-year olds"-but she wasn't smiling.

Whatever her deal with JFK II is, I very seriously doubt she wants to be turned into a laughingstock-and I very seriously doubt she will tolerate it.

Everybody has their soft spots-hers must be the fear that someone would only be after her (ex-husband's) money.

Welcome to reality, Teresa.

The ball's in your court.

The political class will learn to hate the internet. >>>> They already do.

I have no idea.

Kovac-ophile!

Oh trust me, I watch FOX News with a jaded eye these days too, but I just feel that this has more to do with Fox's rep as a Right Wing Organization than with the fued with Drudge.

That is not to say you are wrong, on the contrary, thier falling out with D probably has them very leery of running with this until it is fully vetted and proven. I am just of the opinion that they are more concerned with tarnishing thier reputation than with assisting or getting an assist from D.

[Chris Talk]

Teresa can end the Kerry candidacy any time she wants to.
Maybe persons highly placed will negotiate with her to make a deal to do just that.

Not a woman to be gherkin around with,

whether the jee is hard or soft.
