Everyone would be dismissive if the Stasi stranglehold on the White House in DC was replaced by the stranglehold, of say, the Kolkata Police.
What did the latter know of the world, even if some kids from Kolkata Police families had immigrated to the US and become NRIs?
Thus, there had to be an event, a disruption of some kind which would 'remove' the formidable intelligence agencies of the United States, either because they failed to understand how Asansol AG Church evolved under Bengali Communists or because of some ongoing intelligence failure, either around Usha Vance-Kamala Harris or maybe the 2026 FIFA World Cup itself.
One could not afford to forget that the children of former media honchos and editors/journalists in Kolkata had also immigrated to the US and were NRIs. Those from The Statesman and The Telegraph (both Kolkata newspapers) remained true and loyal to NS Road, and opposed to the legit lease and the US currency system.
Between the CPUSA-loyal POTUSes and the children of Kolkata media professionals, it was thus possible to take over some of the American media organisations, either appointing NRIS at the top or those who 'fronted' for NRIs. It would be a catastrophe for the vulnerable and persecuted across the world, it was unlikely Kolkata would 'buy' their loyalties. What was one supposed to do under such circumstances?
Antara's suggestion would be to let the NRIs keep grabbing one American media organisation after another, but one had to make sure that the neither the bulk cash that backed them nor the steady revenue stream could be taken over.
Oh, NRIs wanted to tell the American story? Well, go ahead, let's see what you have to say.
As Antara had learnt during her journalism school days in Chennai, the glory days of newspapers and even electronic/television journalism was over. Social and online media were the only formats that would survive into the future.
There was another reason for feeling optimistic. There was not one person from Asansol AG Church or Brabourne or even ACJ who could properly appreciate the power of the narrative.
Try and remember a work of journalism you had recently come across by an ACJ student? If you couldn't, it showed how memorable their efforts had been, perused by no one (except the Indian Govt.)
If you were neither interested in people nor in telling a story, why an American media grab?
ii. Having taken over the American media using NRIs (with ample support from Hegseth), what was next for the Kolkata Police? It would probably try to use the White House to descend on Canada, for Kolkata, too, was aware that the century prior to the RMS Titanic, Canada was home to BT's ancestors.
What did it mean, 'Canada was home', was it some western alliance? Was it lease-related support, which involved moving large groups of people from one country to another? Or was it the presence of certain institutions within Canada that offered support to Washington DC, when the Hegseths turned the situation sordid?
Would these be Canadian institutions where neither Chetla nor Barack Obama would have access?
Remember the controversy over Barack Obama's citizenship and his being born in Hawaii? Apparently, there was such dearth of information on Canada, Obama was feeling like a foreigner in DC.
iii. As the Pakistanis had apparently remarked, there was no point in attacking Antara with groups of Ninas given her private life was impossible to understand. It had made the Pakistanis in the diaspora mostly work in the banking profession, the likes of British politician Sajid Javid, to understand the concept of private creditors and boutique banks and those that avoid cash transactions.
Their tactics didn't work, Antara didn't opt for UPI, which meant her enemies, the Pakistanis, had made errors in their investigations. Their next target were the Jewish people, if the latter knew of behind-the-scenes financial instruments that advised Antara. It was an ongoing process, one could see the pressure being applied on Israel.
On their part, Kolkata and its police were apparently proceeding with the assumption that there was some British financial instrument, of much grandeur and never used in India, which had been divided between the lease and the Israelis.
Thus, Chetla's friends needed to control the White House in DC and investigate Canada while the latter was led by a former central banker.
