Costs and Benefits (26): Purulia and Bollywood

The problem with the fake BT's House was that everyone didn't know its real purpose, maybe not even at Hollywood or in DC.

The fake BT's House was supposed to clear Gavrilo Princip's name of the crime he had committed.

However, it was certain that both Asansol AG Church and Brabourne Junior College (Class of 1997) knew about that real purpose.

ii. There were many lucrative and exciting aspects to the fake BT's House that could be used to lure the US Congress. 

For example, JLF was organised as part of the fake BT's House, western intellectuals didn't consider it problematic to attend JLF panel discussions or even give lectures. Did everyone know that they were involved in clearing Gavrilo Princip's name? 

"She shouldn't have gone to JLF," Antara's Asansol AG and Brabourne peer group had apparently said of her litfest reporting.

iii. The fake BT's House had the most gigantic personality on currency and metal. He was called Captain Edward Smith, the captain of the ill-fated RMS Titanic. 

With furious, often bizarre information, Captain Smith had assumed such a heroic persona that no central banker or currency manager in the US would be able to tackle him or save the US dollar or even bitcoin from what Smith had supposedly known. 

The US-based NRIs thrived on knowing that the mythmaking around Captain Smith would prevail, because of these Bengali women.

iv. In case it was still not understood, Asansol AG Church and Brabourne Junior College were a Hollywood interest group, they worked with small-time actors and actresses in Hollywood as part of the Global Communist Movement. They also coordinated with Bollywood. All of them depended on the politics of Chicago's meatpacking districts of the 19th century, when some Indian groups had apparently prevailed against the Americans.

v. "What if these were imagined victories by the Indian groups? Both Hollywood and Bollywood apparently 'ran' on the Chicago meatpacking district blackmail, what if the victories turned out to be false?"

vi. The Indian groups had apparently prevailed in Chicago's meatpacking district because they had successfully argued that there was no such thing as systemic Jew-hatred or anti-Semitism, that reports coming out of Europe and Russia were often exaggerated and that the West Point Military Academy was getting over-excited about the safety of the lease family in Poland and later in Ukraine. 

"There were so many Jews in Europe, what could possibly happen to them," the Indians had argued. 

Bollywood, apparently, still believed the above narrative! It had never been repentant that false information or overconfidence had led to such a slaughter of European Jewry in the 1940s.

It was one of the reasons that Bollywood was just not being able to let go of the 1927 lease. "Well, they were safe now in Europe, weren't they, the Jews?"

Well, they were not safe in Washington DC, were they? That kind of thinking was the support base of Asansol AG Church, so consider where Antara grew up, what had been her life.
