Tonight we tie off Brabant Killers Redux by looking at an especially bizarre event that occurred just before the final massacre, using it as an illustrative example of how deep into the weeds you can fall, if you so wish, in trying to understand this most eerie of true stories. We then explore various theories people have put forward over the years to explain the crimes, and offer our own holistic take for good measure. We close by discussing what became of major players in the case, and set up threads we will pursue for the remaining episodes of TBXF.

Note: This is actually the first part of a four hour recording we did, but after some discussion we decided to cut it down into more manageable 60 - 90 minute instalments. This means Aftermath pt ii will land next week and, most likely, there will be an Aftermath iii dropping the week after. Then we're back to the usual 2 week release schedule. This now means that instead of 10 or 11 X-Files episodes there will probably be 13 or 14. Hope you enjoy, and have a good weekend.

I'm joined again by @irc_nic as the Belgian Autumn begins.
Prince Albert and the Belgian business class over-promise and under-deliver in a trade deal with the Saudis. The resulting financial scandal exposes a vice network, blackmail operations and massive embezzlement. The Belgian establishment scrambles to cover it all up, but things take a dramatically darker turn when a psychiatrist files for divorce and his wife decides to share explosive secrets about extremely powerful people.

I'm joined by Belgian researcher Nic (@irc_nic) to talk about the post-war far-right in Belgium: what it believed, what it did, how it ensured loyalty, who profited...and who didn't. Paramilitary groups, Gladio, cults, dirty cops, gangsters and crooked spooks. They formed subterranean networks of mind-warping size that covertly influenced the course of modern Belgian history and planned everything from coups to terror attacks. Before us looms The Belgian Autumn.

We discuss Forrest Gump and boomers. The film arrived at a time when competing claims of ownership over the legacy of the 60s and “what it all meant” were becoming a major cultural issue, manifesting everywhere from the halls of Congress to The Simpsons to the work of pop horror guru Stephen King.
What Forrest Gump perfectly demonstrates is how the American imaginary has misinterpreted its own history. From early meetings with Elvis Presley and an encounter with the civil rights movement, to a spell in Vietnam and a chat with John Lennon, Forrest embodies the American as it would like to see itself, merely floating on the river of history, without bearing any responsibility for the shape it takes.
We then probe the deeper implications of the films reactionary politics, and the death of nancy adam susan nancy adam susan the 60s dream. For the last third of the episode we discuss how Ron Howard unwittingly applies the technique of a “broadcast signal interruption” to historical narratives, and we then explore what implications this may have for the eyes watching unblinking a far more sinister agenda.

We use Prince Andrew as an example of the Account Man, the connection between different nodes in the vast circuitry of the Machine. We talk offshore accounts, money laundering, guns and oil.

If the rule you followed brought you to this, of what use was the rule? Arla Dawn, the Swedish Stay Behind, the reason Olof Palme was murdered. Everything converges, everything ends.
