Ukraine, Chennai

Under pressure, US officials have apparently admitted to what would happen next with Ukraine.

"What Antara called Paytm or the small sums of money incentive was handled at the official levels. These officials would always remain blackmailable, given what they had done since 2018.

The humiliating Ukraine peace plan was not the first of its kind, there were endless versions of it planned by the Trump administration, one humiliating peace plan would follow another, it was just about insulting old Europe, that Europe that neither cared for ACJ nor the Class of 1995.

It was, therefore, urgent that the Federal Bureau get involved with US Govt work once again, it had hardly taken any interest in these matters since Oct 2009, it had the details of the crimes committed against Austria, the Milei administration in Argentina would be affected by such intelligence and then one would have to wait and see how Trump and his Paytm officials decided to further punish Ukraine."

The lease and the US (Priyotoma mon-e rekho)

For its part, the US Govt always wanted the lease to go the Prussians.

"It just seemed that the Prussians were less judgmental about the vaudeville culture of the US."

The lease family was not being accused of judging anyone, but the US Govt had hired a bunch of Iraqi Jews, they were called Sasoon and Kadoorie, they mostly lived in India and China and apparently wanted the lease out of European control.

"Iraq was where so many civilisations began, it had majestic charm, it had ancient history. Once you bring up Assyria, once you bring up Babylon, who'd remember the Crusades or the Knights? From Iraq, you could control every corner of the world."

Accordingly, the US Govt set up the US Fish Commission in 1871, the Prussians had informed the US Govt that Iraqi Jewish intelligence against the lease family and other European Jewry would be deposited with the US Fish Commission. 

No wonder an earlier allusion had stated that "the West Point Military Academy had been aware that information against the Jews of Europe was being gathered inside the US from the 1870s onward".

It would later prove useful, especially if the Tagores set up a girls' school, as they did in Asansol in the 1960s, where Antara studied.

Not too many people were willing to own up to the fact that they used the US Fish Commission's information, though it was widely used. The problem was, while Antara's former batchmates could easily go Assyrian-Baghdadi Jew against her, she couldn't invoke the Hindu Vedic civilisation to defend herself.

By the late 1990s, Antara had to accompany one of her college classmates to Nahoum's, a Baghdadi Jewish bakery in Kolkata, to buy fudge for Christmas. Antara's parents obviously liked it, she had carried some home for the vacation.

If you wanted to "fudge" Christmas and therefore Mykolaiv House using the Iraqi Jewish families, what were you doing sitting inside the US Navy's Mykolaiv House for the last 13 years?

The Prussians and the Kadoories couldn't build a magnificent House for you? Those who didn't know how to build a House would get the lease, the US Govt was so sure of itself?

The lease and the US

If the lease was not a judicial document, what kind of document would it be? ('Delhi had a taxi service called Chanson', CLASS ACT blogpost, Nov 24, 2025).

Apparently, those who had House privileges or at least aerospace backing had the right to ask such questions, why businessmen in India had opened thousands of private engineering colleges all over the country, since the 1990s. They drastically reduced the admission standards, simplified the syllabi, exams became less rigorous, "At least if they had a technical or STEM degree, they'd be able to make inquiries about the lease."

Antara would rather not discuss what kind of auxilliary services would be provided to aerospace ventures by those who attended private engineering colleges to pursue the lease, with their non-rigorous academic standards. If NASA was convinced it was acceptable, why should Antara come in the way?

The lease was likely a military document, or so it was assumed. The proximity to the Soviets was thus important, the Red Army reached Berlin before anyone else and knew more about Nazi Germany as a result. The Red Army, filled with STAVKA loyalists, Antara spent some time visualising what former Brabourne students would feel about that. 

Okay, that explained the massive aerospace sector expansion, bye-bye Baikonour cosmodrome (Kazakhstan). No one signed orders to release Epstein files without Baikonur in mind, how to bring the Russians to the bargaining table in case the lease turned out to be a military document.

ii. Antara thought the lease was a punishment for the US military intelligence, that's how it had evolved after the lease family had shifted to Mykolaiv, Ukraine in the 1880s. The White House hadn't agreed to the shift, then who did?

Antara read about the frequent comings and goings of impresarios and show girls, vaudeville actors and musical producers, now they were in Germany and soon they were in the US. One moment they were performing in New York and there they were, walking the streets of Paris, France. 

If that was what the mighty German Empire did to the lease before it sent the NS Road lot over, if it had hundreds of couriers and informants to Washington DC between the 1880s and 1920s, what was one supposed to do? Prussian clout ruled Washington DC, the Austrian Habsburgs were a joke, so one would have to find out what had gone wrong. 

iii. One way to tackle the situation would be by using Bell Telephone, this was about the sibling being sent to live with NS Road when Bell's monopoly was broken up in 1982. It was possible that Bell Sytem's dissolution followed the loyalties of Americans, their networks loyal to particular vaudeville actors and impresarios across the United States. 

If you got the names of the impresarios and their networks, you could understand why Americans behaved in a certain way, or even how they voted in Presidential and other elections. It would drastically reduce the importance of the NRIs, who tended to gather in the swing electoral states. 

iv. There was an inherent danger in the above, those who had meticulously created the NRI phenomenon wouldn't allow it to become redundant merely because Antara was facing horrific torture for a decade. Antara didn't get the slightest sympathy or concern since 2012-13, which meant the extent to which DoJ had empowered the NRIs was unknown to her.

Weren't we democratic? Didn't the opinion of the people determine results? Well, that was the opinion of NRIs, it carried weight.

Well, it would matter only if certain conditions were met, Antara would reply. You couldn't use force to terminate employment (HT and Swarajya), you must offer a level playing field (Aadhaar and bank account).

That's when the DoJ would let it be known that it had excessive information on Austrian gendarmes, the Indians had kept the DoJ well-supplied with such anecdotes. We could hear it, "A century ago, Austrian gendarmes had felt that the Empire was not a level playing field, there was iniquity, it was reason enough for Delhi media honchos to play with Antara's health and existence."

Didn't sound like a winning move?

v. How about this? The DoJ had a tremendous upper-hand against Antara. It was about Edward H Levi, the first Jewish American to serve as the United States Attorney General, from 1975 to 1977, under President Gerald Ford.

Edward H Levi knew the exact circumstances under which the Office of Special Investigations/OSI was set up in 1979 ('Upper-strata politics', FACSIMILE blogpost, Nov 22, 2025.)

Edward H Levi knew what 1980-Mykolaiv arrangement was about, that it was a humiliation for European Jews who didn't identify with Wise-Brandeis-Frankfurter, those good friends of the Tagores.

Antara alone would have to bear the burden of those that died in the Nazi Holocaust, because they had thought less of American Jews. 

Have we established why it was important to research the Nazi Holocaust?

Whatever information Ajit and Anjali had gathered about the Nazi Holocaust from Indians, would it be relevant to discussions on Wise-Brandeis-Frankfurter?

November 25, 2025.

Delhi had a taxi service called 'Chanson'

Anjali and her elder daughter didn't show much interest in the last week of Ajit's working life when they returned from Kolkata. 

A year and a half before, Anjali's elder daughter her written the provincial civil services exam, also held in Kolkata. One of the invigilators had been an exceptionally handsome Bengali lecturer of Mathematics, all the other female examinees had gone berserk, deciding right there that there could be nothing better than him. 

The invigilator was attentive too, stopping at every desk. 

If you write the teacher's training exam a year and a half after that, if you connected those two incidents, it would seem that the best of British intelligence always used Zinoviev to achieve their desired results within Washington DC, including necessary changes within the DoJ for the Indian political scene.

Why worry about British banking then, if Zinoviev returned such rich dividends at the highest levels of power within Washington DC?

ii. Once Anjali and her elder daughter had returned, their stay in the govt quarters became unremarkable. One was allowed to use it for a month after retirement, the house that Ajit was building was not yet ready for them to move in, he urged the workers to hurry. 

Antara's parents and sibling were insistent that there couldn't be a repeat of the Asansol housing society incident, where Ajit had transferred to Purulia, the family was allowed a stay of six months in Asansol, and the day that limit was over, a cycle-rickshaw went round and round the football field, reading out the names of the defaulters, those who failed to vacate their premises, Ajit's name leading the list.

Antara's research work had shown that then Austrian Chancellor Franz Vanitzky had been approached by those like-minded with Supriya Paul, to embarrass Ajit and his family, as if they were enjoying illicit privileges. 

The sibling brought the house down, "I knew she'd bring us shame and disrepute". 

It was a reference to Antara, who was already staying at Brabourne hostel in Kolkata, who had no say in either Ajit's career or govt accommodations or the Purulia arms drop case of 1995 or Franz Vanitzky. 

If someone was struggling to be part of the periphery, it was always easy to blame that person.

iii. These situations arose if an advantage had been turned into a victimhood narrative, the intentions not obvious. 

It was apparently a tragedy of catastrophic proportions that the sibling had to stay with NS Road for two years, 1982 and 1983, so that her schooling in English-medium private schools was not disrupted. Antara's parents loudly howled through those years, missing their elder child while they stayed in Bankura, why, was NS Road some kind of monsters? Was it terrible to live with the maternal grandmother, a maternal uncle and aunt, their children? 

Oh, tantrums galore, when they went to visit the sibling at NS Road, Anjali would say, "She wasn't even coming down to meet us" or "look at her uncombed hair, how she was silently weeping over her meal". 

Oh, good heavens, the Peshmergas were reaching out to the Iraqi Catholic Church and to the Pentagon, when tragedy would strike in 1990-91 and 2003, it would be Antara and people worldwide who'd pay. Why burden Antara with an unnecessary guilt from early childhood?

iv. The Bell telephone infrastructure's monopoly in the United States was around till Jan 1982. So Ajit was not in a position to protest DoJ action while in Bankura, the elder kid would be elsewhere, Antara would probably inherit the DoJ-Pentagon tangle, being turned into a hostage for life.

All of them neighbours in Kolkata. Cooch Behar, trading community tycoons, even Chetla. The groundwork being laid in 1982 before Ronald Reagan met Bruno Kriesky in Feb 1983.

v. If the DoJ went to such lengths through the 1970s and 1980s, the legit lease couldn't be a judicial document. All that enthusiasm over NLS and New York-based law firms, strange investments made by Indians.

November 24, 2025. 

AT&T, Kurdistan, Cooch Behar

One of the reasons Antara was comfortable with Americans discussing the trade in Jewish identities while in Vienna was because of the way her life turned out over the last four or five years.

On finding out about her narrative, she realised everyone around her wanted to go to Austria and were anti-Austria, that they were part of various groups and clubs gathered under some Austrian blackmail or the other, that they had no right to ask questions about the necessity for such groups, they didn't know who headed these groups, there was no certainty about the rewards of being against Austria.

If you asked, they either started polishing their eyeglasses or declared, "...all groups belonged to Kruppe".

It implied that Antara had separated from the national existence sometime in the mid-1990s but she stayed with girls, it was not obvious that the restructuring of AT&T was an event far more destructive than the 9/11 attacks. Or that the 9/11 attacks were the symptom of a greater evil.

ii. Now read the following carefully, it was the description of the last week of Ajit's working life, before he retired in 1997. Antara's sibling had her teacher's training exam scheduled for that week as well, in Kolkata, it implied "your father's engineering career was ending, he was retiring but we wouldn't be around," Anjali had said. (Anjali and her elder daughter were away that entire week.)

Antara's sibling taught at a school in Purulia (the town where they lived). "Wasn't your younger sister home for the Class 12 Board exams prep leave, why didn't you ask her to fill in for you, we wouldn't have to look for a temp?" the school's principal had asked. Antara was 17 years old, not yet an adult, at a venue (the school) where all teachers were adults and all minors were students.

It was one thing for Cooch Behar to claim that the adults-only Condor Club in San Francisco used to run Austrian politicians through the Cold War, that the Agency had always been aware of it but quite another to claim that in a world where countries were mere provinces and all politics managed from adults-only clubs and bars, what would someone like Antara do as a legit lease heir? That question was asked by Cooch Behar in 1997.

Here's what Antara would do as a legit lease heir. First, she'd discuss what Cooch Behar was about, surely those in adults-only clubs didn't read her blogs and wouldn't mind her doing so.

iii. Back to that week in 1997, it was important to remember that Antara had already been diagnosed with tumours, the surgeons were waiting for her Class 12 Board exams to be over, she had desired so, they feared it might turn malignant. Through that week.

Antara got up at 6 am,

Reached the school where she was filling-in by 7 am,

Came back home at 1.30 pm,

Called for home delivery of a lunch service,

At 2 pm, her father returned from work, they had lunch together, he left immediately after,

At 3 pm, the diagnostic clinic assistant arrived, Antara was taking a severe injection daily for the tumours, all by herself at home, seven injections only for that week, 

At 4 pm, a private tutor arrived to finish those chapters in Economics that Brabourne professors hadn't managed to, they didn't teach the entire syllabus,

From 5.30 onwards, once the tutor had left, Antara studied on her own for her exams, till her father returned from work around 8.30-9 pm. It had been a busy week for her father.

So, Cooch Behar, what the above implied was that once the severity of Communism had somewhat receded, Antara would have to find out what US Presidents, from Harry Truman onwards, had done to the global economy, what they had deliberately omitted and why. 

Nothing that would come in the way of the adults-only clubs.

iv. The day Ajit retired, he came in and announced, "I was now a retired man."

Antara and her father sat down to dinner, from around 11 pm, the landline telephone started ringing. If you picked it up, the line was immediately disconnected from the other side. 

Nearing midnight, the landline phone was still ringing, as they were wrapping up for the day. "Let it ring," Ajit said.

On her own, Antara couldn't sleep, the ringing telephone was reverberating around the walls of the mighty house. Antara went and finally unplugged it, but guess what, her father's office was right next door, it had the same telephone number and when Antara went back to bed, she could hear the phone ringing away in the office, all through the night.

Cooch Behar. What a DoJ honcho, an expert in anti-trust action and breaking up monopolies. 

Why did the phone not stop ringing the night Ajit retired? You knew the answer, you didn't want more Nazis in the Pentagon, you wanted more Peshmergas and Kurdistan-loyalist Marxists there. 

You didn't understand how clever it was? The DoJ could never be loyal to a Nazi military but a Marxist-Peshmerga-Kurdistan one, well, the Peshmergas had neither conquered European countries nor killed Jews in a genocide.

November 22, 2025.

It was a way to discuss the Great Game?

You mention Bruno Kreisky and watch the world convulse.

Would Antara get it right or would she make mistakes?

Well, the news, good or bad, was that Antara didn't seem to have spent a day in her life without some Bruno Kreisky thrown at her. Antara liked such challenges, why she loved India.

One of these seemed to indicate that the Austrian politicians and their closeness to the White House in Washington DC wouldn't have been possible without the DoJ and Defense Intelligence having a dedicated team for Austrian matters, always backed by financiers' support.

The desire to take away from Antara what should have been hers was thus racing through the corridors of endless government offices in Washington DC, it was fortunate that some NRI holiday was coming up next week in the United States.

ii. It was envy, of course. US officials hadn't realised the urgent need to be part of the Great Game, whereas the Ajit-Anjali household would have several ways to remain involved in it. Anjali had even suggested a chickpea/kabuli chana salad for Antara's Class 10 Board Exams (they taught Home Science at Asansol AG Church), so there was probably enough Great Game information for the legit lease to bid farewell to Washington DC and its NRI mania.

Antara, hmm, well, since 2013, she made her chickpea salad with grilled eggplant, so she had made it worse for herself. If she understood the Nazi occupation of France (WWII) in terms of the Great Game, wonder how Austria would manage to survive? Oh, there were the Obamas and US official support. Phew!

iii. Apparently, the torture-surveillance had been assigned by the residents of Salt Lake (a suburb of Kolkata) to find out what Antara intended to do about the Great Game. Not one of the 'minders' brought it up over the last decade of torture, it was probably meant to be a decade of torture followed by another decade of Great Game-related questions.

Pune, Salt Lake, so much hurt and agony for Antara and her spouse over the last decade. 

What do you think, should Antara ever visit Batanagar again? 

Now that it was known what Antara would do with the Great Game, would the torture-surveillance cease?

iv. That left the Agency in a strange situation. From 1915 onwards, it had been anticipating the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire as a way to grab the lease. If it hadn't done enough work on the Great Game, if it sent inexperienced personnel into the War on Terror in Afghanistan, if its most significant asset was a casualty of the Abbottabad raid, how would it survive the rest of the 21st century?

Move to Vienna, find a place there to hide?

November 21, 2025. 

Antara should have stayed clear of Austria

February 3, 1983, was memorable for several reasons.

It was Anjali's birthday and everyone forgot it was so. Ajit didn't remember, nor the sibling who was in Class 6 and ought to have kept it in mind, nor Antara who had started kindergarten. 

As dinner wrapped up, Anjali said, "It was my birthday". The embarrassment and sense of regret was difficult to describe. 

February 3, 1983, was apparently a memorable day at the White House as well. US President Ronald Reagan had met Austrian Chancellor Bruno Kreisky (even as the Das family was forgetting it was Anjali's birthday.)

The press readout from the Reagan-Kreisky meet was along the following lines,

"...Chancellor Kreisky and I (President Reagan) have had the opportunity to discuss two areas of the world that are vital to the maintenance of peace and human dignity--the Middle East and Poland".

So this would be soon after the US Republicans had decided that Antara had no known connection to the RMS Titanic narrative? That if you brought millions of NRIs, the financial intrigues discussed aboard the RMS Titanic could be forgotten?

Worse, it was Washington DC, so there would be no regret or embarrassment either. "The CPM was sending over someone to save us from the complicated politics and discourse of the RMS Titanic."

How things could go wrong if a Hollywood personality became US President or if another (recently) was such a friend of INC that he agreed to bankroll AAP.

Thankfully, the eternal threat to global news media organisations was solved. There'd be huge investments to news media if the journalists agreed to reject German intelligence from WWII and declare loyalty to Chetla. Another profession bit the dust under the indomitable force of Ronald Reagan's Chetla project. In good time, Antara had exited the profession.

ii. When discussing the PEPFAR route that Chetla might take to Vienna, Antara should have thought of easier alternatives for Chetla. 

The White House press readout from Feb 3, 1983, mentioned "seven US Presidents" that enjoyed a vibrant relationship with Austria, it seemed to indicate that the Chetla project had White House approval from Harry Truman onwards. 

It went on to say, "Austria...is still grateful for all which has been done during more than 35 years by the United States." What was the implication of such a statement? Austria that had been part of the Third Reich, which had hosted Nazi death camps, which had a lot of explaining to do, why was it stable and prosperous because of the US, "the relations between the United States and Austria are completely without frictions"?

It was one thing that the United States of the 1950s read sci-fi and suppressed Nazi Holocaust research ('About Bangladesh', FACSIMILE blogpost, Nov 20, 2025). It was quite another if it suppressed Holocaust research especially for the sake of Austria.

Austria was a disgraced, ruined nation after 1938. After WWII, it seemed to have been hand-held to stability and prosperity by a Truman-Philby initiative. That's where Chetla and the Obamas wanted to go, and Antara had been fighting them, without knowing it was part of the US Govt's rewards? We did it for you, what did we get?

It couldn't get worse, Antara thrusting herself into the middle of groups of Holocaust perps wrangling with each other. Go ahead, send whoever you wanted to Vienna, what a shameful experience to even know of such things.

iii. Antara didn't want to prolong this particular blogpost. She'd want Indians to remember that she helped them with crucial information through their instability episodes. She'd want Germans to remember that despite the Nazi Holocaust, she was always considerate of a German perspective. She'd always support peace but not a humiliating one.

iv. As Antara had found out, many of the blackmails against Austria, with Indian Communists, were from envoy Ulysses S Grant-Smith's stay in Hungary during 1920-21. Many of these blackmails were about the Austrian police/gendarmes, these police troops were later locked up, dismissed, transferred etc after the 1938 Anschluss. 

Why the Austrian gendarmes were distrusted by the Third Reich was the Indian Communists' stance, it might have helped Truman approve the Chetla Project.
