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.

BUMP for great freeping.

Said staffers are probably already working on this.

Let's not overlook the girl who dropped off her resume late at night while Theresa was in Nantucket. Was she ever identified?

That was as story from 1998 that Chris Lehane has been pushing for a few years. Different woman, pictures were posted on anopther thread -- she apparently was a model or wann-be model or something. anyway, the whole thing was shot down way back and it turned out to be nothing.

Unless there is something new on that one, that story is a no go and will only muddle things up.

[mabelkitty]

Nope, just putting potentially relevant pieces on the same thread. I will be searching databased later or Monday, so if names other than Alex's pop-up, give me a Freepmail and I will search.

All I found on Alex were three of her lame articles.

Sorry, but YOU are muddling things up--big time.

1) The 1998 story is not from Chris Lehane but from the Boston Herald. The current story is said to be from Lehane and the one he has been shopping around a while.

2) The photos posted on the thread where I posted the Boston Herald story were NOT the woman in question. They were completely wrong. Wrong age. Wrong school. Wrong everything. They were posted because somebody saw her pose with Kerry. But the woman in question is a FORMER model and Harvard grad. The photos were of a CURRENT model who went to a commercial college.

3) The 1998 Boston Herald story has not turned out to be nothing. And uniformed lazy posts like yours do not help things one bit.

What if this is just a fantastic tale to divert a small army of reporters to Africa in search of AP's "Alexandra Polier"?

This is a thread about the Boston Herald story from 1998:

Maybe 'Alex' is a pseudonym that AP uses to publish these kind of stories - and why the change from 'Alexandra' to 'Alex'?

To be honest, at the time I didn't know if Alex was going to turn out to be male or female intern.

[mewzilla]

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.

I think we're gonna need a scorecard...

I can see the new line: "Why don't you come over this evening and drop off your resume?"

[StarFan]

That was as story from 1998 that Chris Lehane has been pushing for a few years.

1998? If memory serves me correctly I thought I read it was more current and Lehane was also asking reporters to demand to see Kerry's tax returns. As for the Boston Herald or Boston Globe, apparently one (not sure which) has archives of his comings and goings that would raise eyebrows and thus wasn't prepared to endorse his candidacy.

Pinging friends.

[MattAMiller]

It really is remarkable isn't it? Who would have imagined that we'd all someday have machines on our desks that gave us instantaneous updates on the latest gossip in Nairobi?

[commish]

And uniformed lazy posts like yours do not help things one bit.

Didn't get your flowers yet today I see.

Thank you for the correction, I had two things mixed up, but you can leave off the little snide personal attacks thank you.

[commish]

You are correct, I had the two events mixed up. didn't have my score card in front of me LOL.

[b9]

Thank you very much for this ping

[jimbo123]

I wonder if Kerry was stalking her. They had an affair and she ended it and he couldn't handle it. There are supposed to be some love letters.

Really, a threesome Barney Fwank, Lurch, and Alex.....
