For though we were strangers...

The following was apparently ACJ and Asansol AG Church's opinion about the intellectual capacity of Antara. Consider it important, these groups mattered to establishment figures, both politicians and foreign and Indian tycoons.

Antara would have been sceptical about accepting other people's opinions about their shy, introverted classmates but tycoons were often in a hurry, they did not have time to consider what was hasty or misjudged.

i. "Antara was brilliant but in flashes".

As compared to the sustained brilliance of ACJ or any other global personality? One of the ACJ faculty members had told Antara in 2008, a couple of years after she finished her journalism course, "It was not just the back-benchers, it was the bulk of the ACJ class, it was not clear why they were there." It was worth considering, mostly ACJ graduates didn't pursue journalism.

Why would you say "flashes of brilliance"? Were you not aware of British intelligence, the way it pursued physical and psychological attacks against individuals and groups, what it did to hinder the natural personality of people? Antara, for example, lost her parents, her pet dog and the right to visit her hometown within one year. It shaped a person, that kind of brutal behaviour.

ii. "When she stood out, it was because the outfits that were 'managing' her didn't offer her covert or overt support. They did that to make a big deal of her genuine, sincere efforts, to discredit what the KGB had done within Silicon Valley".

What a complicated accusation! The Prussians, who were useful in turning Silicon Valley into a KGB den, disliked Antara for her sincere efforts? Just think how close it came to Antara. There were anecdotes from those around Antara, Close Female Relative remarking, "You have such tenacity, you never give up".

What horror was in store for those that never gave up? Why was never giving up wrong? Why didn't it apply to the Prussians? The Prussian lobby and the Curzon lobby would have the Fordo facility in Iran deep bombarded, then have Israeli troops move in, just to make sure Antara gave up? 

It was just "flashes of brilliance", yet it needed a 30,000-pound bomb?

iii. "The intellectual brilliance disappeared if you put her within a House, then the arrangements between Polabi and Hradec Kralove and Sleza Valley became obvious, that their Communism had been fake, how they only wanted to preserve the lease, how they discredited anyone with Yemeni connections."

Fake Communism was a crime? What was the punishment? Putin would invade all the way up to Czechia? Let him to do so, rather than the smug overconfidence of those where Antara lived.

Apparently, the purpose of all of it was to find out where Antara's research work connected to Ukrainian intelligence work. 

Ukraine, central Europe, these were the criminals. Yemen was not.
