The Bidens and Trumps behaved similarly, they were not the same. Biden never needed the endless immigration from India, the millions flooding in from the 1980s, after the 1980-Mykolaiv arrangement. We had discussed it earlier, calling it 'rejection' migration, those who rejected India as a place fit for staying without further Communist action against its people.

The Trumps, on the other hand, were the Indian immigrants. No matter how busy they looked or what they professed as their ideology, all of them had one purpose: to find out those that might validate Antara's possible WWII narrative, not those that supported the legit lease. Under the guidance of the Trumps, the Indian immigrants scoured every inch of the United States, its cities, towns, countryside, wine-growing areas, horse-raising farms, national parks. Would there be any individual who, not contact, not corroborate, but dared to validate Antara? 

In this assault on the WWII narrative, a war where the US lost hundreds and thousands of able men, the Trumps came and went. There were only two permanent fixtures: the Big Red One in Delhi and Chetla, the latter living in the United States for the last 23 years. Between them, the crisis was now an unending, permanent one, it would consume whatever tried to resist it. 

We have, therefore, disproved one of the lies being propagated by the British, that Chetla and her Delhi connections were part of the INC culture. As Antara had always known, Chetla knew only one culture, the Big Red One. 

Apart from making sure the remaining lease family members got stranded in India as the Big Red One increased his grip, probably assisted by the Chinese, why else were the Indian immigrants to the US upping their ante? The following had come up in the course of Antara's work:

"Once they saw the Trumps getting comfortable, sometime in the early 1990s, the Morgans decided to occupy the lower-strata of the US Navy's Mykolaiv House, to understand what exactly was going on. It was obvious that the Bidens and Trumps were using Chester Nimitz against the Morgans. But what the Morgans found out surprised them to no end: no matter what happened, use Ajit, repeatedly sacrifice his good name and integrity but do not disturb the inhabitants of the US Navy's lower-strata Mykolaiv House. Who, pray, was coming here in future that Ajit could be dispensed with? 

What was the great secret about the Trawniki or Einsatzgruppen in WWII, apart from the fact that they were controlled from Kolkata, that everyone else had to take the fall?"

As of now, Antara has established an 'alliance of convenience' with the Germans, given the Trump and Chetla threat to her.

It was possible that the London-based PR firm was now going around, creating a furore, as to why Antara, who had neither post nor payment, was allowed to discuss the top global strata of Communism, which was working out of London. 

So much for citizen journalism, so much for free speech, so much for our cherished freedoms!!

Within India, it had been assumed that Antara would argue along free speech. Others thought she was unemployed because of the London-based PR firm; if she couldn't 'name the problem', then the crisis would be eternal. Antara chose another approach. 

"The London-based PR firm was mistaken in assuming there was a war or that Communism was under assault. There was no such thing, why the PR firm had not been named in the blog. Antara had always coveted the sectors where high finance intersected with military strategies, she had been surprised that she was given clerk-like editing jobs in Delhi newsrooms and not allowed to cover the defence sector or armaments procurement. The blog was therefore her CV, where she showcased her skill-set, using textbook examples of crises as created by the Trump-Vance administration. She had been assured that there would be no negative fallout either for the Jews or for her close relations."

Antara got initial hints of the House around 2017 or so, before she learnt her narrative. "Trump was your father's guy, he has taken the White House for some archival research on behalf of your father". If this was a reference to BT's House, then it couldn't be Antara's father who had propped up Trump. Thus, 'Antara's father' implied Bengali men of Kolkata. 

In 2025, Antara worried every day about what information the Trumps were still rummaging through within the House, unless Trump was done in the first term itself. One was her list of allusions, not merely what she quoted here, in public posts and emails, but the process by which she arrived at them. No one was supposed to know how she worked, remember Antara and her husband didn't get visitors, no relative showed interest or asked inquisitive questions. 

All those measures to protect the identity of ordinary individuals (in India) who worked to prevent another Holocaust, probe the previous Holocaust or officials (in other countries) who have pursued such investigative projects. 

When Antara stepped out, and it was becoming increasingly difficult for her even to visit the shops next-door without severe attacks, she saw her previous day's work all over the place. The names of people whose work she was using, the ideas and tropes, it was like someone had emptied out the information on Delhi streets.

Around 2000-01, Kolkata was already aware that the Trumps would cause mayhem through the House. Kolkata felt that it was about creating permanent Holocaust fears within the justice delivery mechanism of the United States. The more the latter feared, there would be less room for maneuver for the Indian Government, given the risks were coming from India. 

The more the Indian Government became a constricted entity, the Treasury would focus on nothing but instability episodes. You could impose reciprocal tariffs, tear up bilateral trade agreements, impose conditionalities on Europe, burn through global trade and commerce, the Treasury wouldn't react.

Guess who'd be picking up the tab when she got contacted and was employed again? Yours truly.

The following had come up in the course of Antara's work:

"A woman in severe crisis (Antara), by herself, had found BT's grim and forbidding House. She didn't demur, not once, that she'd rather not inherit it, and she picked up all its causes, from the Bidens to Fred Trump, from Auschwitz to Zinoviev...

...Between BT and AT, the former had borne a much larger part of the crisis, especially the complete destruction of the lease given BT's frightful knowledge of the Holocaust".

Some of us have been wondering why Delhi was cited so often, apart from being the city where Antara stayed. There was a Big Red One living in Delhi, some city-dwellers didn't like him, Antara obviously didn't. Hence.

Back to the lease and also what Antara disliked discussing, the blessed House, now with the Trumps. The Big Red One was involved in handing over the House to the Palace back in the mid-1980s, when Antara was waiting for her imagined carpentry shop to come up in her school. 

The lease proceeded only one way: headed by the Morgans, seconded by the lease family, assisted by US State Dept officials who were 'experts' in handling the Long Telegram blackmail. Between the Palace and the Big Red One, the first thing they did was to embargo the US State Department from assisting the above process. It was blamed on Shili-Lokkhi, it was nothing of the sort, merely CPUSA doing the needful to assist Communist causes. 

In 2025, it was just as well, since Antara didn't want any US State Department official to get involved in the Long Telegram business, now that she knew it was about the Nazi Holocaust and protecting BT from its aftermath. Why did BT need protection, wasn't he a victim of the Holocaust? You get the logic, given the AT Das family still lived in Purulia, Antara's close relations, which US State Department official would care for them?

Our best friend Doug didn't want us to find out any of the above, definitely not the US State Department part, to save his wife's career. Antara was not the first to wonder why Doug's wife got involved in Asansol AG Church, as soon as the Big Red One gave away the House to the Palace. 

Delhi thought it was to make an 'island' of Asansol AG Church, no other school in India was attacked that way, and then to challenge the US Navy. Antara's mother thought it was to gather German intelligence that was flowing into the school, from good sources. Certain groups in Silicon Valley thought it was to promote Chinese intelligence's clout on the school, it would not be possible to discern it from Bengali Communism. 

Antara could never have any sorbet as dessert, even if she made it at home. She thought Doug and his wife recommended Agency officials who were good with the legit lease, turned them over to the Big Red One in Delhi and he kept them to himself. Thus, Antara's work never progressed in the least.

Bengali women who live in the US often post photos of their kids' school lunches on their social media pages. It was probably a novelty for them, maybe schools in Kolkata didn't serve lunch at school. Maybe they think it was a sign of their growing elite clout: one minute your kids were getting school lunches, next you go at the Treasury. 

Some of these women also posted photos of the schedule of school lunches, maybe for the next month, what the school administration had provided beforehand, with calorific information. So it might also be about Ukraine. This was valuable information, Bengali women immigrated to the US for elite status, Ukraine, Treasury, in that order. 

Compare that to what Antara's mother had been told in the early noughts, soon after 9/11. "Women from smaller towns of Bengal (not Kolkata) were immigrating to the US to learn how to speak English and drive a car (so British intelligence and White House, not sufficiently present in Bengal's districts)". How did her Ma manage with such little information, Antara wondered every day. 

Despite having no known connection to Britain, Antara grew up on photos of British schools, from the encyclopedia they had at home. The British schools were not identified nor were their locations, but they were huge and modern, nothing dark and gloomy or with stone walls. Obviously, Antara expected a cafetaria with the sun streaming down on food trays of cutlets and mashed potatoes, instead she got KG2A in Asansol, crammed with students and food and water strewn on the floor. 

Advice to Asansol AG Church: Stay away. Antara somehow survived that hell, and there was a long process of readjustment she needed before she could face Asansol AG again.

The other photo from the British school that Antara doted on was the carpentry shop, where the boys worked on wood. What's to dislike? Senior high school so almost young men, in trim trousers and waistcoats over their shirts, bent over their individual workstations. When Antara's mother told her that she would be going to a girls' school in Asansol, Antara thought that it was a matter of time before boys joined as well, else how many girls would they get for the carpentry shop?

Things looked promising at Asansol AG Church. Two of Antara's friends had asked her, "Want to check out the back of the school?" They all went together, quite the wilderness till the boundary wall, filled with dense undergrowth, and so full of possibilities. So carpentry shop would go there, unlikely they'd put a cafetaria, maybe they'd just pave it so that students can sit around, Antara (by then in 1A) had thought to herself.

Imagine her horror then when it was announced that the school would build further, it would get rid of the wilderness but for more classrooms, not anything that added value to education! What Antara went through at the loss of her imagined carpentry shop...there was no reason to dwell on the disappointments of a girl in Asansol in the mid-1980s, she had experienced much greater horrors since. 

Did Prominent Personality also feel shattered when the Asansol school didn't build the carpentry shop? Or like Bengali women with their photos of school lunches in the US, did she suddenly discover the Treasury, maybe after 2001?

The London-based PR firm was 'fighting ready' for Trump's tariffs, BHO and missus first off the mark with military blackmails.

i. Antara wanted to know if BHO and missus were in contravention of any laws in constantly pulling these historical blackmails against the armed forces. Antara had never been to the US and with DC apparently overcrowded with NRIs, was it possible that there were problems in implementing existing regulations?

ii. Antara was also finding it difficult to believe that BHO and missus cared who got a Medal of Honour in WWII and who didn't. By all indications, it seemed BHO and missus were merely indicating the interest shown by the former east German Stasi. Why were they so interested in US military history? What political purpose did it serve within Germany? When people said India was filled with Meghan Markle agents, did they imply Angela Merkel?

iii. Soldiers during WWII might have been backed by financiers, if that's what the east Germans were alleging, given how risky soldiering was, Kolkata understood nothing of war but kept attacking strategists nonetheless. Did backing of financiers make it less of a world war? Why didn't Venus/Mars/women can't read maps participate in a few wars and show what real valour looked like?

From here on, even the metaphors Chetla and Chinsurah would no longer be mentioned on the blog. There was considerable pressure and threats emanating from the Palace, Antara was told. 

Which was just as well, since Antara's own work has yielded the result that "no matter how the London-based PR firm tried to glorify Chetla and Chinsurah, it remained that they were part of the Indian students going to the West for 'higher education', as they called it." 

"As was known, Indian students went to the US for only one reason: to seek out Prussian and German-origin networks that supported the legit lease and subvert the legit lease agenda, assisted by the White House and the Palace. Unless they specified otherwise, every Indian student in the US and UK was anti-Morgan. Thus, there was no further reason for Antara to consider Chetla and Chinsurah as separate from other Indian students and provide them a global coverage they didn't deserve."
