Next episode… (Patreon)

Think of episodes 1 - 4 as a long prologue. We introduced Belgium’s internal divides and contradictions, looked at the stay behind influence and the role of colonialism on the national psyche, and now we’re going to look at what happened after the empire fell. This is the final piece we need to move into place before the arrival of the Belgian Autumn. We’ll be discussing fascism, coups, the Euro deep state, cults, nazi esotericism and the politics of blackmail. This episode is in many ways the key to unlocking the ideological underpinnings of The Network 🌀, and understanding why Belgium experienced the staggering violence and corruption scandals of the 1980s and 1990s.
