Costs and Benefits (24): North Africa

It was standard Communist practice over the last century to blame Islamists/radical Islam and the immoral behaviour of women for political extremism.

Thus, even for an honest, law-abiding citizen like Antara, professionally trained to be a journalist, having worked in three national newspapers, there was no approach to discussing Kashmir that was devoid of risk.

Antara had never visited Kashmir nor has she been encouraged for such a visit by the Indian State. Please do visit us, her Kashmiri colleagues had entreated over the years, but Antara didn't want a ludicrous experience like the EU delegation from a few years ago, some well-managed sightseeing and a boat ride on the Dal Lake in Srinagar.

However, certain Indian officials must have taken pity on Antara and provided her with an informed Kashmiri journalist colleague. Based on her colleague's inputs, it seemed,

i. It was one kind of turn Kashmir had taken towards militancy in 1989, with the abduction of Rubaiya Sayeed, but the Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme had taken the Kashmir problem to a different zone altogether (Madoff had pleaded guilty to 11 federal felonies on March 12, 2009, seven months before Anjali passed away.).

ii. That the Treasury had preferred an autonomous status for Antara, it would have been easier to study the NATO/military communication problems that protected the Bengali CPM in Britain, but Delhi honchos ensured Antara and her husband were kept on a low-income bracket to make autonomy impossible. 

iii. That the reason CPUSA and the Obama-Clinton machinery introduced the Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme politics into Kashmir was Antara's lack of information about WWII. It was a dangerous situation, for when the global militaries (including the Indian military) would need the lease family narrative on WWII, Antara wouldn't be able to provide it, nor would anyone else have that information.

iv. That in the regions of north Africa where the Afrika Korps fought, both Montgomery and Rommel were long-forgotten, the viciousness of Indian women have ensured that Walter Rauff was the hero of north Africa, because of his annihilation of Jews. Kolkata had thought that Rauff alone would be able to solve its problems, hence its confidence about shifting the Papacy to the US.

v. That there was no crisis in Washington DC, no damage or anarchy or misrule or collapse of American life, but such was the moral corrupting influence of the NRIs that the American media agreed that Poland's narrative needed to be kept away from the United States, thus a fake narrative about Trump's excesses was churned out on a daily basis by the friends and former colleagues of Hillary Clinton.

vi. 'Cry Hillary', a Delhi media honcho had once written before one of Hillary's numerous attempts to become US President. It referred to the Walther Kadow murder, in which Rudolf Hoss, later Commandant of Auschwitz was involved, a fall-out between groups of Morgan-loyalists. 

"You solve Auschwitz, you've solved Kashmir, and Ajit's two daughters would be free," the Kashmiri colleague had indicated.
