94 - The Belgian X-Files 17 - Dutroux Affair vi: A World Inside the World
Ghost Stories For The End Of The WorldShow Notes
Myself and @IRC_NIC discuss the sheer size of the case and consider what The Sprawl means. We go long on how the cops and the media conspired to kill the network angle, and then we look at the truly global scale of the Dutroux Affair and break down what, exactly, the Network was, its historical origins, the social context, how it worked, where it came from, and how it dealt with the threat of exposure.

Otto's war, Hitler's Irishmen, and the fall of the Third Reich.
We reopen the Books with a discussion of how Petrosino continues his war against the mafia and "the Black Hand", while Don Vito journeys to the USA and quietly becomes the most powerful mafia lord in Sicily, culminating in a bloody confrontation that becomes the stuff of Sicilian legend.
Ryan and myself continue our investigation of nazis and the Spider Network in the Emerald Isle.
