ADA, Brussels, Libya

The blogpost ('Learn about the railways, then discuss Federal Reserve, Pirosh', Dec 28) had apparently elicited furious response from Kolkata. 

Women there had been raging all through the day, "how could anything within BT's family pass from generation to generation, it was all prohibited by US law? Kolkata had been especially careful when it came to railroads, so that no one understood the mistake it made in ignoring railroad families, not trying to establish relations with them, and thereby missing out on crucial information."

"It was the 1960s and 70s, DSE had not considered that anyone would want to ride a train, who'd let go of airlines?" others had pointed out. 

The 'prohibited by US law' set off controversies elsewhere. What was prohibited, that BT might have a granddaughter? Familial ties? Which legislations were being referred to? Who had agreed to such strictures?

It turned out that Kolkata implied the Americans with Disabilities Act 1990, that it was meant to make sure that Antara would not have any independent investigative responsibilities of her own, "it was like she was a dependent of her classmates at Asansol AG Church, as a weak and pathetic individual. Unless they were assisting her, her allusions work would not be considered, it wouldn't be able to stop the NRIs, they could do whatever they wanted to. The Germans knew all about it."

Antara was immediately asked to find out if ADA, as it was known, had any provision which enabled discrimination against her. From whatever was available online on ADA, it didn't seem to indicate that she was "dependent on the Class of 1995 for even leading her daily life". 

However, there seemed to be instances when its provisions had been used to harass Antara and her classmates, both at Asansol AG Church and later at Brabourne. Antara didn't want to share these details right away, without knowing at whose instigation she had been described as a "dependent", that neither did she have any liberties nor was the Class of 1995 particularly free.

The ADA information did reveal the name of Tom Foley, who had been Speaker of the House of Representatives when ADA came about in 1990. Antara's work had earlier stated that Tom Foley was always criticised for ignoring Brussels when it came to American Civil War blackmails, "so Delhi media would always remain in Delhi, because of Foley, it would never get its Brussels offices?"

ii. Why was Kolkata invoking ADA, merely to stop Antara's allusions work? Or was it specifically about Kolkata having no rivalry or competition when it came to railroad blackmails, where Kolkata had done shoddy work?

Several years ago, Antara had been advised to focus on the Wheelus Air Base/Mellaha in Libya. "After all, it was always about Wheelus and American corporations, it was not Antara's burden alone, given documentation had been held back from her."

What could Antara do about Wheelus? "What was being called ADA 1990 was only about Wheelus, to make sure no one could do railroad research while living in a country with extensive railway networks like India. Documents and livelihood would not be available so no way of leaving India, hence railroad research would stop, endless reserve currencies could be floated out of DSE."

What about Antara's allusions work till date? It was done without the assistance of the Class of 1995, Antara always did well at school, no batchmate of her would provide assistance in intellectual matters.

"These were north Kolkata families, so they'd settle in their own way."

In Delhi, when people bought apartments, they often started renovations by boarding up all windows, doors, leaving only a single entrance available.

Learn about the railways, then discuss Federal Reserve, Pirosh

Robert Pirosh was a US Army infantryman during WWII, he later worked in Hollywood. 

Pirosh died on Christmas Day in 1989, when Antara's batchmates were in Class 5.

Strange, when Antara was told several months ago, "they/the Class of 1995 didn't immigrate to the United States because of you, they wouldn't leave you in India", Antara didn't believe it. She'd become unwell from the torture, she couldn't believe such things anymore.

Now NRIs were discussing, "well, we'd always have Pirosh against the Class of 1995", it was not a problem. 

Not a problem for what? Independence of the Federal Reserve, apparently, that way NRIs could altogether avoid the US Govt.

What had NRIs made of Pirosh? They had apparently found out that only when all railroad families have been exposed would the legit lease be allowed to take off. 

It was used against HT in 2012, "Don't believe the Class of 1995 if it requests that Antara continue in her job, they were all Pirosh agents."

What a strange argument, how did people share such misinformation?

Antara remembered the late 1990s, waiting at Purulia railway station to take the overnight train to Kolkata, where she studied at Brabourne, Ajit accompanying her. The train would often be late, they'd stand on the railway platform as the lights came on, discussing things.

"A long time ago, on this same platform, my father (BT) would come to see me off, take the same train as you were taking to Kolkata, I had started working by then," Ajit would say. "As the train left, I'd see from the window, BT standing there, a tall man but so alone, on the deserted platform, no one around him. It wrenched my insides, what could I do for him?"

The legit lease didn't take off when railways or railroad families stopped, it waited alone so that railways could run. 

It did so generation after generation, waiting alone.

Delhi had shown its aggressive stance on the Russia-Ukraine War.

Luxury hotel room prices have "skyrocketed", what would one do? Focus on the Stalinist purge at the Lux Hotel in Moscow between 1936 and 1938? 

"Lux Hotel was a blackmail used by the NRIs, there would be no NRI had there been no Lux Hotel purge."

Antara decided to focus on Stanley Lord instead, since "skyrocketing" indicated the distress flares sent out by the RMS Titanic, which were ignored by Stanley Lord, the captain of the nearest ship. She couldn't ignore the news item about the hotels, someone was reminding her of the Marriott hotel destroyed during the 9/11 attacks.

The attention turned to Batanagar, the extensive work Antara had done on Edith Foster Dulles to understand what the town was about, how Edith's ideas had influenced the way Batanagar might benefit from the 1983 Ronald Reagan-Bruno Kriesky meeting. 

(Edith's sons, John Dulles and Allen Dulles, were American honchos.)

"If you didn't write about it, Delhi would devastate Ukraine."

The above argument was correct, men with auburn-coloured hair had filled the food courts of Delhi over the weekend, Edith Foster Dulles had passed away at Auburn, though she was born in Indiana. (Batanagar had several residents whose close relations had immigrated to Indiana.)

Edith's entire life had been a parody of the legit lease, its interest in civic causes to its desire to travel across the world. "Edith encouraged indiscriminate travel, even among those who disliked other cultures and societies, what had such a harmful impact on the environment and global emissions."

If Antara and her parents got held back within India, it had been part of Edith's ideas. "We have to capture one generation of the lease family with Communism, after that there'd be no stopping Indian Communists and NRIs from taking over the world."

It was assumed that Edith Foster Dulles had deep connections in Russia, it was families like hers that set the West Point Military Academy to collect information against any imminent Holocaust against the Jews, right from the 1870s, 

"How were they raising Edith (born in 1863), with a Bengali intelligence persona?" the US Army had wondered in the 1870s. 

The above would become a defining trait of the NRIs. Most of us had seen social media posts about how NRI children always practised their Indian language script-writing at home, in neat notebooks, their parents commenting, "No matter where we stay, Indian writing was essential", presumably to teach the western countries a lesson.

ii. "What if you had become part of the NRI apparatus? In 2025, you'd have been seen as welcoming of Putin's aggression against Ukraine?" Antara was reminded.

It was a worrisome thought, Antara and her spouse had been invited to an "initiation ceremony" in their previous neighbourhood, in December 2014, a couple of months after they had moved into that residential block.

"Let's run away to Connaught Place (a shopping and business district in Delhi), we'd say other engagements had come up," the spouse had suggested. "We cannot be part of such things."

Antara did as told, hence her household survived the last four years of the Russia-Ukraine War.

"Why were you not at the 'initiation'?" those who had organised the event had called up the spouse and asked. The excuses decided upon had been used.

iii. Antara's mother-in-law didn't have it that easy. The network of Edith Foster Dulles had surrounded her home at Batanagar, she understood it was coming from the Taptapani/Hot Water relatives, she didn't know how to connect them to what was being attempted around her.

"It was about Pearl Harbour (December 1941) and the Japanese, Edith had passed away in June 1941. Was it correct to expect Supriya to solve the puzzle? Why didn't the British advise her? Supriya had been isolated over Netaji Bose in Nazi Germany, there was no excuse for Edith to bring up the Japanese and Pearl Harbour."

Since the Agency had owned up that it didn't carry out its duties since 2017, as of now, Hoover and McMaster would have to stop bothering the spouse, no matter how Batanagar relatives felt about it. 

Else, Antara would officially complain against Hoover (of Stanford University).
