Ooh la la!

What was the future of French intelligence, given it recently renewed its support for Chetla? (Apparently, the French could not tolerate the Americans at all, so even Chetla would do.)

One had to remember that the reformatting of French intelligence took place in 2011, right before the Military Sealift Command problems, as soon as Antara had renewed her journalism career by joining HT but faced a setback in her father's death.

"There was a particular context to the reorganisation of French intelligence. OPEC and OPEC service-providers like Pakistan had argued that given the lavish intelligence the Middle East could provide to Chetla, all that the Indians have to do was withdraw and isolate Antara, the British would organise the torture-surveillance and by 2017-18, global resources would all be headed to India.

It has now been eight years since 2017, the first Trump term, yet the French could not appreciate the fact that Chetla didn't have lavish intelligence, which meant OPEC countries didn't have lavish intelligence. No global resources-related extortion would ever happen again.  

Antara, on the other hand, had enough allusions to last 100-150 years, so much beyond her lifetime. It was like the entire world had come together and deposited their intelligence at Antara's feet, and with the Treasury."

It was obvious that the French used Chetla as an excuse, to get rid of Gaullist influence and encourage the families and groups that thrived during Vichy France. The Gaullists were removed from French intelligence, Holocaust enthusiasts took over. You could call them Chirac or Macron, it didn't really make a difference. 

But given the defeat of the Middle East when it came to intelligence, given its paucity of information, given its sheer inability to survive in the 21st century, it was to be expected that OPEC arrangements would have to be revisited, the foolish and the ill-informed were not meant to manage crude oil. Rearranging OPEC would be part of Antara's work.

Was it possible that the French didn't realise it was 2025, not 2011? Was it possible that the French didn't understand that Antara triumphed in the War of Information? Yet they chose a moment to make a publicised support for Chetla, a ridiculous project?

There was only one explanation: the French were relying on Kamala Harris, constantly exhorting her that Netaji Bose trapped in Nazi Germany was not the only US military failure, that there were several projects like Netaji Bose during WWII that had completely run aground. 

The above blackmail (around Netaji Bose and others) had been threatened during the 1959 Dyatlov Pass incident, when nine Soviet ski hikers had gone missing and died under mysterious circumstances in the Ural Mountains. The Dyatlov Pass blackmail was used during the Chernobyl disaster of 1986 as well. (Dyatlov Pass involved ski hikers hence Pahalgam, in all likelihood.)

The focus thus shifted to Kamala Harris's services to the French, and what she considered was US military failures, apart from Netaji Bose, and how she would use it against the US.
