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.

LOL. Good point.

Ahhhh great old song! Thanks for the memories.

"Surely you can name those liberal reporters."

Chris Wallace, Greta, Geraldo, Major....If I watch it long enough, they'll go through the news cycle and I can name them all.

"Let me clarify that: It might have been that Ailes heard that Drudge was going to show the picture, ordered him not to, and Drudge walked [before the picture was ever shown]."

Drudge also said on his radio show that they did not recognize his "style" of journalism and that he was villified by the other members of the staff. I'm not defending Drudge by any stretch, I'm just pointing out that we have all annointed FNC as the "fair and balanced" network and I think that we've been suckered. Even though they have been just as guilty as CNN with overkill on the Bush National Guard story.

Chris Wallace, Greta, Geraldo, Major

LOL!!! Those are the four I knew you'd name.

Garrett's a conservative, always has been. As I said, Greta and Geraldo focus mostly on Hollywood, lawsuit stories, and the like.

And Chris Wallace is an incisive interviewer; very fair.

You want everybody to be like Fred Barnes, and that's just not going to happen. If they were, FOXNEWS would have NO credibility.

Africa was so wonderful back in those days before the Fall.

Before Pandora picked up her package.

D--n UPS.

UPS = ???

You know, if it's fair game to ask Arnold Schwarzenegger whether his father was a Nazi, and if it's fair game to ask Mel Gibson whether his father is a "Holocaust Denier," then why the hell isn't it fair game to ask Teresa Whatever-Her-Name-Is whether Herr Doktor Thierstein had any fascist sympathies - whether, say, he'd take a stroll down to the docks every afternoon, and make a mental note of which ships were coming, and which ships were going. Or whether the Thierstein household might have had some [how shall we say?] exotic overnight visitors in the period 9-1-1939 to 5-8-1945 - the sorts of people who wouldn't want to be seen by, oh, I dunno, the British, or the Americans?

During the early part of the twentieth century, Portugal was not a strong colonial power and relied on outside capital, primarily British, to finance the development of Mozambiques infrastructure through large, ostensibly Portuguese companies which were granted charters to govern large areas of Mozambique. After 1928, Portugal itself was ruled by António Oliveira Salazars fascist personalised autocracy which imposed strict controls over much of the countrys social and economic life. Salazar's imperialist aims included the total control of Portugals colonies by Lisbon and the exploitation of those colonies resources for the benefit of Portuguese capitalists.

I'd be more interested to know if they dined on yellow cake.

Major Garrett a liberal reporter? No way. He's as fair and balanced as they come, IMO. Same with Carl Cameron. Darned good reporters.

[mosel-saar-ruwer]

I assume we're talking Werner Heisenberg Yellow Cake, not Marie Antoinette Yellow Cake.

Yeah, that would certainly be a good reason for the Nazis to pre-position one of their agents in the most mineral-rich corner of the world...

Chris Wallace and Greta are not reporters. They are hosts. Major Garrett is not a liberal reporter. And he wasn't when he worked for the Washington Times.

Man oh man....she's the girlfriend of a guy in "the Criminal Class" in Kenya, and herFather calls Kerry "a sleazebag"!! WOW!! The criminals have a better standing with Mr. Polier than John F*ing Kerry!! LOL!!!

[fella]

If she opens her mouth she is dead. Like the Kennedys bimbos must be elinated when they've past their use by date. Only the Kennedys have the b*lls to do the offing themselves, as Robert did Monroe and Ted did his secretary........ I know ........ Tin Foil. But those theories are out there and a good crimial leaves no evidense.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

[No. Don't see an e-mail address on the site. Any idea how to get hold of him?]

Down on the right, there is a box labeled: SEND NEWS TIPS TO DRUDGE...I copied the thread URL and sent it along with a short note. I suggest that you send him your contact info.

FReepers working together to help Drudge dish the goods on on Kerry -- it doesn't get any better than this! Free Republic is the absolute best, bar none!

bttt for visibility

[ladyjane]

I agree. This sudden appearance of a 'fiance' is strange. Sounds like a conveniently arranged engagement.

[Jim Noble]

WHAT THE HELL WAS JOHN HEINZ THINKING WHEN HE GAVE THIS CHICK THE KEYS TO A SAFE FILLED WITH $2BILLION?

Did the FAA investigate the plane crash?

[hoosiermama]

Has anyone thought that maybe she is pregnant? Quick marriage arranged out of the country and all?

[ladyjane]

"she could make Hillary look like a Baptist sunday school teacher if she wanted to" IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!!

You should see/hear Ter-ray-zuh in action. She is NOT a nice person.

[StarFan]

Carl seems to be not just embedded but in bed with the kerry campaign - from his tone. Well you just confirmed my suspicions so I'm not being too cynical as my hubby implied.
