94 - The Belgian X-Files 17 - Dutroux Affair vi: A World Inside the World (1996 - 1999 or so)
Added 2024-09-19 05:33:48 +0000 UTCMyself 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.

2024-10-02 19:55:12 +0000 UTCI'm currently reading 2666 and im in the Part About the Crimes section. Its a very difficult read. All the killings of the women are difficult but I'm stuck on the murders of the schoolgirls. They get into the window tinted car's without a struggle according to testimony. Which means they have a built in trust for the owners of the cars. It implicates the police or the people in power for whom were supposed to have trust in. I can't get that part out of my head when I think about the girls in Belgium.
