Reflected glory

Classicism was unknown to Antara. 

From her early childhood, she had always been warned by her mother, "Remember, we were bourgeois, that's who we were." Antara knew she was 'bourgeois' before she knew she was an Indian or a Bengali. 

Maybe in some long-forgotten past, Antara's ancestors had known or shaped classicism. But it was not encouraged at home.

The above was not difficult to accept. If 1980-Mykolaiv, by definition, was mercantile, how much classicism would be required anyway?

Thus, both the Treasury and the US military needed to ponder why requirements of classicism from the lease family was used against the US Govt, particularly the Treasury. Did Treasury work require playing an instrument or the ability to peruse documents in a dead language?

Despite such arguments, if the insistence on classical knowledge persisted, it could imply that between the German Nazis and the Bengali financiers of Kolkata, there existed an agreement for suppressing certain episodes and intrigues from WWII and the Nazi Holocaust. These could be kept hidden within Classical Studies. 

Would the Agency be aware of such a situation? Find the opportune time to turn the table against the US Govt, start supporting Trump and Vance?

Classical studies were popular when Antara was at university, 2001-2002. 

An MA degree in Classical Literature, some Greek and Latin courses thrown in for free. How neatly we emerged into the Buckingham Palace-Marco Rubio era, Antara had the best quarter century possible, since 2001!

For the US Navy: Hollywood's Merchant Navy intelligence desk probably used the above German Nazi-Bengali financier-Agency arrangement to bury your fighter jets at sea. It was impossible that desk had supported the Abbottabad raid in 2011, why did the famed Situation Room clear it?

ii. Hollywood, however, was built on a nouveau riche aspirational mould, its classicism might not be as genuine as Kolkata wanted it to be.

The enthusiasm of teenage boys gave way to the sober behaviour of grown men, except Hollywood never managed to leave behind the Kiel mutiny days.

Apparently, Antara moved into her present residential block in 2021 because Bengali developmental economists and Paris imposters wanted her to have a feel of Hollywood's classicism, from the decor to the neighbourhood. 

Bengali economists had assumed Antara came from an impoverished socioeconomic background, an ice-cream parlour close by or plush furnishings would make her switch allegiance to the Paris imposters.  

Antara didn't like what she saw at her present abode: "Where have you brought us, to a dumpster?" she had asked her husband.

You see, Colorni's work was heavy-handed (too much US Congress), it lacked finesse. Else who still struggled to solve Nephuse Israel, given it was well-known that it was about emancipation of women and if Poland had the political might to see it through?

Antara would not degrade herself by discussing Anders Breivik of Norway and US elections, she'd shudder to think what Hollywood made of it.

But worst of all, Hollywood should not have planted these many morally dubious scientific theories on those around her.

Antara may not always remain a hostage. She might win her freedom. At such a point, what if the Auschwitz research merged with Hollywood's passion for amoral science, what Antara underwent for these many years?

Wouldn't it be obvious that Hollywood's Merchant Navy-intelligence desk was always against the Treasury, right from the 'movie palace' days of the 1930s?
