Finland allows Ukraine to attack targets in Russia with Finnish weapons. Ukraine can use the weapons transferred by Finland to attack targets on the territory of the Russian Federation. The Finnish side has not imposed any restrictions on the arms assistance provided to Kiev. The corresponding statement was made by the head of the Finnish Defence Ministry, Antihakkanen Jely Informs. According to the Minister, the restrictions on the use of their weapons were mainly imposed by those countries that supplied Kiev with long-range weapons. The Finnish Parliament's Defence Committee said that the Ukrainian army had the right to attack military facilities on Russian territory with the help of weapons supplied by Helsinki. In particular, this was said by the head of the committee, Dzuka Kopera. Deputy head of the committee, Mikko Savola, also noted that the weapons supplied by Finland can be used by the Ukrainian army for strikes against targets in the Russian Federation. At the same time, he adds that the range of the weapons supplied by Finland is not very long. In general, the Finnish authorities are in constant contact with their allies on the issue of restrictions on weapons transferred to Ukraine. Finnish President Soli Nynisto, who is leaving office, has promised that his country will continue to increase military aid to Kiev. Nynisto said Finland has provided Ukraine with 22 aid packages and will not limit itself to this. We are increasing aid, primarily, of course, military aid. This especially concerns ammunition and air defence assets. Everyone agreed that we need to act as we did at the beginning of 2022 when decisions were made in a timely manner and very quickly. Nynisto stated. US border a bigger priority than Ukraine. Republican leader. Congress will not pass a new aid package for Ukraine without reforms to US immigration policy. House Speaker Mike Johnson has said, arguing that America's own security takes priority over Kiev's conflict with Russia. Speaking after a contentious meeting with President Joe Biden and congressional leaders, Johnson insisted that House Republicans would not budge on the foreign aid if Democrats did not compromise on the border. Gop lawmakers are actively pursuing and investigating all the various options for the Ukraine legislation. But the first priority of the country is our border and making sure it's secure. Johnson told reporters, the Republican speaker has faced increased pressure from congressional Democrats, the White House and even fellow Gop members, in the Senate over the aid bill with President Joe Biden warning that the consequences of inaction every day in Ukraine are dire ahead of his meeting with Johnson. Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, who attended the sit down with Biden, also said he urged Johnson to get it done and do the right thing, adding that history is looking over your shoulder. He described the discussion around the Ukraine bill as intense, stating everyone in that room was telling Speaker Johnson how vital the military assistance was. While the Senate previously passed a $95 billion aid package, including $60 billion for Kiev in addition to funding for Israel and Taiwan, House Republicans have refused to back companion legislation unless it includes significant reforms at the U.S.-Mexico border. Estonia plans 600 bunkers to stop Russian invasion in the first hour. On NATO's borders with Russia, frontline states are already preparing for the next war with Moscow. In January, the defense ministers of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia agreed to a new plan to build an extensive network of fortifications intended to deter and defeat the kind of Russian incursion long-feared in northeastern Europe. Given their country's 210 miles of border with Russia, much of it considered near-impassable thanks to extensive forests and wetlands. Estonian officials said the government is planning some 600 bunkers they hope will prevent a hypothetical invasion and occupation by Moscow. The war in Ukraine has shown that taking back already conquered territories is extremely difficult and comes at great cost of human lives, time and material resources. Susan Lilevali, the Undersecretary for Defense Readiness at the Estonian Defense Ministry, said she spoke about the $64.7 million project during a Thursday briefing with journalists. In addition to equipment, ammunition and manpower, we need physical installations to defend our countries efficiently. Lilevali said the small Baltic states have long been considered the most likely Russian targets should President Vladimir Putin be bold enough to launch an attack on NATO. If successful, Russian units might be expected to overrun the three small nations within days. These installations serve first the purpose of avoiding military conflict in our region as they could potentially change the enemy's calculus. Lilevali said counter-mobility and fortification measures have played a significant role in wars in our region in history, for example in Finland, and as the war in Ukraine has demonstrated, they are perfectly valid also in this century. She continued, the installations should deny the enemy the possibility to advance rapidly in the territory of Baltic countries and in case of military incursions, stop the enemy's advance already at our borders.

Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. On other Footies Fridays in the books and not without SBC Fodder exploding on the market because of content yesterday. It was a really crazy day yesterday with all of the SBC content that was released, including that 90 plus times seven that we thought might drop and it did end up happening to be released in the game. So I wanna talk about that and how Fodder is exploding but also take a look at the objective tab where EA has released us this week's cup mode that does not limit the number of matches that you can play every single day. Some people have already finished the Syriac cup with some help of Golden Goal in the friendly mode. So I wanna take a look at that and of course cover the market because a lot of Syriac cards moved yesterday and a lot of prices moved upwards but with the three club max restriction being placed in that friendly mode, it made for some interesting movements on other Syriac cards but I also wanna take a look at today's content on Saturday. The 90 plus times seven is getting refreshed and we might have another overpowered striker being released as a footies favorite SBC will take a look at the current leaks that we have as well in today's video. So if you're excited for the video today, hit the thumbs up and subscribe if you're new. Let's start off by just looking at all the craziness that happened yesterday. I think it's good to break it down because these especially in this time of the year, it's just a great opportunity to learn and when you learn what happens based off of what EA drops content wise, when you kind of connect the dots and say, okay, Nate, this makes sense why EA dropped this and this happened afterwards, it can be a really, really good learning experience kind of towards the end of the year when coins and fodder and just the game itself matters just a little bit less because it's not as serious. Like it's not prime time FIFA when coins really matter, when everybody is starting the game off and it's super stressful, nothing like that. It's summertime. It's easy, it's fun, the content's flowing and it's great. So let's learn from something today, right? The 90 plus footies times seven upgrade drop yesterday. Now with this, with the 85 times 10, with a brand new player, SBC, insane player SBC I might add with Borrella, which I believe if I heard correctly, he has the most in game stats. I believe out of any single card in the game. Five star, five star, high, high work rates, incredible card. The only problem is I guess the links, I mean, he is Italian, he does have really good links, but it's a bit difficult for the Serie A cup mode because you then have to find other Inter Milan players to link him to and there's not as many as Juve, as Milan and even like Napoli have a lot of great special cards in this game and you can only use three clubs. So, but that point aside, if you wanna put this guy in your main team he is absolutely worthy of that designation with an insane SBC yesterday, but that's the key, right? All of the insane content in SBCs yesterday just created a whole bunch of demand for SBC fodder and I am so glad that we talked about buying fodder yesterday before the content dropped because it was basically at that time yesterday when everything started to explode. Where's our Borre team over there? We've been looking at this guy just to kind of measure the prices on the market. Werner was 6K on Thursday, dropped down bad on Thursday night, Friday morning 5,000 coins for 84s, that was the sweet spot. Basically, if you bought 84s and fodder before content yesterday, they exploded. Werner going all the way up to 7,000 coins. He's still running around that middle to high 6K range where a lot of the 84s are. That was the big movement yesterday. These 84s absolutely exploded because of that 85 times 10 being re-released and just all the other SBC content that we had and there was no supply. You had all of this demand, right?  EA actually did not run any, to my knowledge. I have not seen any yet. Now, I haven't watched the market every single hour in here but I do not believe they have run any lightning rounds on this game since yesterday at 6PM UK time. Usually they run Friday lightning rounds. I don't believe they did a single thing to supply fodder and that helped fodder prices go even higher. But again, like I mentioned, it was all the SBC demand that was the catalyst, right? You have to have that demand and lack of supply to have kind of the situation and equation that you had yesterday with all these fodder cards going up. Now, let's talk about this content a little bit because you might be like, Nate, the 90 plus footies is super expensive. The Syriac campaign bag is just not that great. So why was there a lot of fodder going up? Well, the 85 times 10 and the 86 plus both refreshed and everybody has the 85 times 10 when it refreshes, right? You just do that SBC. It's great value. A lot of people still did the 90 plus times seven and inside this SBC you have some high rated squads but you also have some lower rated ones. 85 rated squad in there is, you know, a lot of people are turning in 84s into that. Syriac campaign player pick, again, like I said, it's not that insane. You can see the up vote down vote scenario here. Not a lot of people are excited about it but I'm sure people are still out and doing that SBC yesterday and then of course, Barela only being 180,000 coins. He has a couple of the lower tier squad requirements in his SBC as well and that has got the fodder going up in price. And again, like I mentioned, no supply stuff is going up. So GGs, if you bought fodder, I would have loved to be like, yo guys, now is a great time to buy fodder again but I just can't like 6,000 coins for these cards. I mean, technically, you might have to club stock a few of these. That's kind of my suggestion would be, I'm not expecting a whole lot of supply on these cards, you know, today, tomorrow. So if you need to club stock any cards, we're gonna continue to get more player picks and more good SBCs. The past couple of weeks on Saturdays, we've gotten a pretty good player pick SBC here and there and we're gonna have the 90 plus again today, tomorrow on Sunday, the 85 times 10 is gonna refresh. Again, I believe I'll double check that in a second but if you need fodder, it might still be time to go out and just buy one for the club, right? Buy enough fodder for your clubs so that you have the ability to go and do these SBCs when they get released later on the next day or two just because again, like I was mentioning, there is no supply and it's all demand on this game right now. Now let's talk Saturday content for just a little bit since we've kind of opened up the topic. The 90 plus times seven, which this is a very fun SBC, here's my opinion. I would not touch this if you don't have a lot of coins. It's gonna come back today on Saturday. It might be repeatable every 24 hours, which would be insane. This is a really, really fun pack, try to pack the really high tier cards, you know, at 90 plus, right? But it is specific to batch number two. If you're doing this SBC, make sure that you know you cannot save this pack. It does not change the stuff that is in it is batch two cards only, batch two goes out of packs next Friday. So that's a big SBC that I think will still drain a lot of fodder on the game today, but hopefully what comes back today is the 82 plus player pick and that would be a huge help in being able to crap that SBC a lot cheaper and here's why it would be a huge help. If you take a look at gold rares on the market right now, they have returned to the promised land of discard value. So 82 plus player picks were released last Saturday. I really hope they released that day as well.  Last week, all gold rares were 1.2K, so they basically doubled in price from where you can get them on a minimum bid at 650 coins, whether it's an investment or you wanna go do player picks starting today, I think that is a great thing to do. Again, we're assuming that EA would drop that 82 plus player pick again. We hope that they would do so and maybe even the 75 times five. I could see both of those coming back today. Those would be some of the biggest pieces of new content we would be looking for to be released today on a Saturday. Now, also speaking of Saturday today, we do have a leaked SBC, which I think is coming out today. And I think this is the guy right here. Jonathan David has been leaked to be our next footies favorite for January SBC. And I believe we get back to back days of footies favorites. And especially after we had the Sao Musa Sao or not Musa Sao. What's his first name again? I'm completely blanking on this. It's not Musa. Jabril Sao, where did I get Musa from? I don't know. Not yesterday, we had two days ago. I think today is going to be the Jonathan David release day. This would be a card a lot of people would be interested in doing. And I think you might wanna get some fodder for him. But I think his SBC is gonna be dropped today alongside of that re-release of stuff. I'm not really sure if we're gonna get another player pick SBC today. Since there's so many that are out in the game, if they're gonna make that 90 plus times seven, like refresh every single day, I just think that, you know, I don't know how many other player pick SBCs they can handle or they can drop on this game just because it almost seems like too much if you think about it. Now also, today on Saturday, another SBC is refreshing. That is the foot hero, shape shifter, and captain's player pick SBC. There's just all the demand in the world for SBC fodder. That's why in my opinion, even though fodder prices are so up, if you need fodder to do any of these SBCs, I would just go out and probably buy some of the cards at the inflated prices because they're just going to go higher because there's no supply in sight and all demand. So that's kind of what I'm thinking for Saturday content. Jonathan David, the refreshes of all those SBCs, and hopefully player picks in the 75 times five. So watch out for your silver rares as well. And those could go back up in price if we get the 75 times five, not guaranteeing that it would be out. I feel like the 82 plus player pick is the highest guaranteed. But that's what I'm thinking for today's content on Saturday. And I wanted to get that out in the video as soon as possible and talk about it because I really do think that buying gold rares here at like 650, 700 coins is a no brainer. It doesn't matter what league doesn't matter. They're going to all go up later on in the week as people will do player picks because they were good last week. They'll be good this week and people will need fodder for SBC. So make sure you go out and stock some of those your transfer lists and your club on a sign, whatever it may be. I think that is a W. Now let's move on and look back at yesterday a little bit more about this Serie A cup mode. You might be like, Nate, is this thing glitched? I honestly don't think that it is glitched. I think EA kind of know what they're doing here. But again, I have some worries about this. If I'm being completely honest, since they didn't put a max number of games per day on this footy Serie A cup mode, I feel like people are going to get this done super fast. Of course, last week and even two weeks ago, we were not able to complete those cup modes for the first two weeks of footies right away because they had a specific number of games we could play each day and we would log on to FIFA every day and play those games. Now for this week, so many people are going to get the Serie A cup done in the next two, three days. And as we get to like Tuesday and Wednesday and Thursday of this next week, I feel like, and this is just me looking ahead and forecasting this maybe a little bit, it might start to get a bit dead and the content would seemingly dry up if this piece of objectives is kind of gone and you've already completed it. What other content is drawing you back in? Just the SBCs, right? The cards and packs are not brand new. There's nothing really fresh and hyped there. I just feel like that this week might get a little bit lackluster feeling by the end because of this, especially being something that we had the last two weeks consistently every day and this is kind of pulling away and we're gonna get it done quicker, right? Yesterday, I probably spent an hour, maybe hour and a half playing these games. A lot of people are playing Golden Goal. I got 11 out of 14. I probably rage quit and lost about 11 games as well, but it doesn't even matter, right? It's all about getting the 27 wins and with the help of Golden Goal, a lot of people out there are playing it. It's pretty easy to get done. Now, the only problem with it is you can only use three clubs and I will tell you this, you can have any cards you want on the bench. You can see I've got Prebiolik cards, I've got everything here on the bench, but my main squad is made up of three different clubs. I've got P-Monty Calcio, aka Uve, I've got Milan and then the foot heroes count as their own club. So I have got Gomez, I have got Cordoba and then yeah, that's it. So that's the kind of thing that's a bit tricky about this. I was really hoping and looking forward to using like Insignia or maybe Lozano in this team or maybe even just buying Franck Ribburi and trying Ribburi out or maybe some of my other Serie A cards, but unfortunately I can't use a Felipe Anderson or use De La Feu, I couldn't even use Barela in this team unless I put in Scrinnear and put in Darmian and then dropped Gomez and Cordoba or something like that because I just don't have enough Inter Milan players to put into the team. That's the only downside to this but I think I would take that downside and rather have the upside of being able to play a unlimited number of games per day. That is very nice to get the objective done quick and to get those packs and player picks opened which is helpful for getting fodder sooner rather than later. So I don't think it's glitched. I don't think it was a mistake by EA. I think they meant to do it. Now, do I know why? Not really, but that's just my opinion on that Serie A cup. And I think a lot of people are happy with it because they're getting it done pretty fast. Now also yesterday, and I feel like this was almost like swept under the rug or just kind of flew under the radar because there was more hype with the objectives and with the SBCs. We have the new Summer Swaps 2 dropped in the game and just look at that, Ben Yetter. Like that is crazy. There's no card and concepts right now but we did learn some very valuable information about Summer Swaps 2. It's 50 tokens as it was leaked and the tokens are obtainable now. There have been two tokens that have been released. Just two, that is it. Just two tokens have been released so far if I can find the tweets right here. We have one that is free that was given out and one is in the CoreNet objective. It's very easy to do. Make sure you can go and get that one done on the quest to getting however many tokens you need. Now the only difference when EA tweeted out the rewards for Summer Swaps 2, there was one difference from the leak that we originally saw and it's a pretty big difference because it relates to a fodder pack. The 85 times 20 is the exact same as Summer Swaps 1. It is five tokens, it is not seven as it was leaked. So it does cost two tokens less than what we were planning on to do the 85 times 20 which is nice. So make sure you kind of calculate that out and maybe you can afford something more. There's really not a good web page to go and look up this stuff. I even looked on the QR code. I scanned the QR code that they have here on the menus and it just takes you to the Footies website which literally says nothing about Summer Swaps 2. So that's a bit unfortunate. But it's the same rewards that were leaked. The only changes is that the seven token 85 20 is only five tokens, which is a dub. So start getting those tokens. We will not be able to see the rewards until August 12th under the swaps section here. It'll be until August 12th when we can turn in those tokens. That will be the start of the second week of Batch 3. Just kind of put that in your mind. Batch 3 comes out this next Friday after Batch 2 leaves packs and then the second week of Batch 3 will be when the Summer Swaps 2 rewards are finally available. So just kind of start thinking about that and the order you might proceed with attaining these swap cards.  I think that's gonna keep people coming back to the game this week and that's gonna keep us all engaged a little bit is to just try to find out, okay, where are these tokens? I gotta keep claiming them, gotta keep attaining them. That might be how EA is trying to get people to come back to the game every single day this week as well. Now, speaking of that Syriac Cup Bo, let's talk a little bit more about the market because there were a ton of movements yesterday with the 90 plus times seven, which we talked about in yesterday's video. If that SBC was going to drop, we knew that it was gonna be pretty expensive and B, we knew that it was gonna drop some prices on the market because of just the fact that people would have to sell a lot of cards to go and do the SBC and that is exactly what happened.   Theo Hernandez at about 300K, Rafael Leal at about 300K as well. All of these cards exploded after the 6 p.m. content drop because people were going out and building squads for the Syriac Cup and that is exactly what we talked about yesterday and that is exactly what happened, right? You see 310, boom, all the way to 370 for Theo Hernandez. One of the biggest risers yesterday I think was this Debala card. Debala went from 500, he was panic sold, right? He went from 600K down to like 550. He was even like 530 at one point. He peaked all the way up at 700,000 coins on both consoles. He's now back down a little bit as people are going out and doing that objective game mode, people were buying the Syriac cards like crazy and a lot of these prices are up except for, like we talked about again, those midfielders and I was not a huge fan of Spinazola investing in him and I'm glad that I stayed away because he went from 118K all the way down to 63K just because I think it's a little bit harder to link Roma players. It's not impossible to put Roma players in that three club restriction but I think it's just a little bit harder and most people went with AC Milan and with Uve and maybe even the foot heroes using the captains like Cordoba or the shape shifters like the Gomez card or the Cordoba shape shifters as well. So I think that's why you saw some of those other Syriac cards go down a price especially your midfielders but the whole rest of the market is down in general. I mean, a good example of a card that's down really bad is I'm trying to find Pedri. I might just search him really fast because this Pedri card, of course, it was up in price after the Ferentores was released. Ferentores drops, Pedri goes up. Pedri yesterday is 360,000 coins. He goes all the way to 230, bounces back up to 260, 250 where he is now but a huge price drop on a Pedri card like this and honestly just for so many other cards on the market Marcella was over 400, he's now 360,000 coins.  I even failed to mention Tammy Abraham and Vera too. I mean, I think Vera too is a bit underwhelming. I think he's just kind of an average card. He's not bad, he's medium, medium work rates, five star weak foot, four star skills, decent card, nothing super duper insane but I think most people if you're doing the dynamic objective are after Tammy Abraham, five star skills, four star weak foot, high, medium work rates, really good card, really jammy if you will, right? That kind of card in the game, really good card. So make sure you go and actually have some fun doing that objective because that objective is in the no rules game mode. If I'm pretty sure, dynamic duo, yeah, I'm pretty sure if you go in to the Syriac challenge, it is in the no rules game mode. So there's no cards, no off sides. It's kind of crazy or no fouls and no off sides. So it's kind of fun to go and get those cards. It's not super crazy but especially if you can get somebody to help out with 15 goals or whatever, it does help out a ton in that regard. So I even traded and made some coins yesterday. We opened a bunch of packs, we watched a lot of prices on the market. It was a fun day and I think a lot of people to focus right now on this game is A, playing footchamps, B, getting the Syriac Cup games done, and C, just trying to get fodder. And that's the biggest question right now that I get and that I feel and I even feel it myself, right? How do I get fodder on this game? And I think today if they release the 82 plus player pick, that's gonna be one of the best ways to do it and you're gonna be able to do it for so much cheaper if you buy some of these gold rares and stock them in your club. Just go through the leagues, honestly. Go through the top five leagues, go through some of the off top five leagues, go through nations, whatever you wanna do, just stock your club with gold rares. It's gonna put you so far ahead later on this week when you have a bunch of gold rares that you bought for like 700 coins instead of them being 1.2K, 1.4K maybe, even on some days as people are going out and doing upgrade player picks and stuff like that.  Good luck grinding all that stuff. Here's the reason why I think the 75 times five actually could come back today. The 60 to 64 times five and the 71 to 74 triple upgrade are here for nine more days. So if EA is gonna allow us to continue that sort of menu craft that we had last week with the bronzes, the silvers, the golds, these are out for nine more days, that would make me think the 75 plus times five should also be coming back so that we can have that trifecta of SBCs to be rinsing and crafting and everything through. So watch out for that today along with the 86 plus player pick. Again, oh, I didn't even mention Zapata. We know our second winner. So we had the Nicolta Borrela SBC yesterday. Fantastic card. We have the Jonathan David Leet. This should be our SBC on Sunday. But he's Zapata and he will be five star, five star just like Borrela is. So that'll be a nice card as well. Probably not as hype since we will already have a Jonathan David release as a striker. We will already have the Tammy Abraham released. This is a nice card. And of course, we still have our fingers crossed for that Fuddy Zlatan, EA Sports. Everybody would go crazy in this game for a Fuddy Zlatan. I'm gonna say it every day this week until you drop it, okay? EA, I hope you're listening. Fuddy Zlatan injected. But anyways, that should be our content for today on Saturday. It should be another fun day. I'm probably gonna try to do the 90 plus times seven again because why not? And 82 plus player picks, we need to hammer those this week so that we can continue to do all the other SBCs that do get released on this game. Again, be very careful with your fodder. Don't spend too much. There's still a lot of great content to come. And if you don't have a lot of coins, it is very smart to be picky with what SBCs you're doing at the moment in this game. And to be responsible with your foot coins, even though it is basically August, just because there's so much content out there but there's still so much yet to come as well. So that's kind of it for today's video. If you did enjoy, smash the thumbs up on it. Comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe if you're new. Have a great weekend. Good luck with your champs and just have a good weekend. Touch some grass. It's good for you. It's been Nate with Foot Account and I'll catch you guys later. Peace out.


Welcome to my analysis for our head shocks. Today's topic is again based on an article that was published last week on Tuesday. That's the articles named RogueGrid Reloaded and there have been other articles before that one which we can guess from the title. And RogueGrid is there's a new variant of this malware and the article discusses what's new and what's what has changed and also they say there are some similarities to another malware family that they share code. The interesting part for me was that I wanted to get the payload and I didn't have this file. It wasn't on virus total at that point in time. It's there now I think. But we can get the payload from the other files. Those unnamed droppers here they actually are no droppers though. But you will see what I will explain to you why that is. Here I took the third dropper, dropper right here and unpacked the payload. So how did I do that? First off I analyzed this with products analyzer and this is actually quite quite good malware to learn from because this file right here it's not obfuscated and that makes it quite easy for beginners I would say. Alright so if you take a look at this first off, first off the visualization will show you that this huge resource part and these resources are packed. So it could be that these contain the actual payload or maybe they contain something else and here we can also see yeah the entropy is quite high for the resource section and there are the imports now in the import listing you will find imports that are very typical for injection of well either of code or code injection and they are also listed in the anomalies section, anomalies list and all of these together they paint a pretty clear picture of what kind of injection is happening right here. So we have a create process which will be called first then to create another process usually in suspended mode then they call virtual alloc to get some memory from this other process and then use write process memory on that allocated memory to write the data into the form process and then using create remote thread they will execute this other process as and also tell them where to start the execution like create remote thread takes an address parameter that says where to start execution. So with that we can already try to find the right way. Also check out this process injection chart if you haven't already so in this case it would be like this way using create process and then one of those either this or that. Though we didn't see the unmet view of section in there. Write process memory and create remote thread so we guess it's this way. I will start this in 6x62dbG and we have a tab with symbols here you go to that and click on colon32.dll there's the create process export double click and now you can set a break point on that because it should be called first if they use that for the injection so let's just try this and run. Okay it opens up an image the images I explain in the article in case you're interested and now we are here at this location we see it wants to create a process named simd.exe the process is not there yet use the regret there's no check process for that but it will be there once we are at this location so let's run until that and step over and now you see simd.exe is there. Okay we will step two times so we step out of the create process call and at this point we see the neatly written code for the injection part right so it calls create process virtual look write process memory and create remote thread so those are the main APIs used for the injection and there are two APIs you can use to get the code that is being injected now write process memory has the buffer which contains the data that should be written to the other process so here you can see the code in the buffer and create remote thread has start address where the code execution was started in the other process so that's also where your code has been written to that was injected so both of them are possible and I think we should take the second one so we can continue debugging on the other process so let's do that and run to this create women's thread call we can see this is the address where the code execution was start and this address is not for the current process but for the other process right it's for the simd.exe so we want to attach to this other process before we continue we open up another instance of that and say attach simd.exe attach and now what was the address again we go to that address 26000 this might be a different address if you try this on your machine so even if you try it several times every time will be a different address so just take that one and 26000 what am I doing okay we will go to expression right and that's the address we place a break point right here go to the rogue red sample and say just run okay now it terminated rogue red terminated we can see now rogue red is indeed not there anymore but simd.exe is still running and we also stopped execution at the break point that we set so here we are I had one bad thing happening I pressed run and I had no break point so I have to I had to redo the first part again we are at the great remote thread call again so 1900 is the location this time we are already set the break point and here we are so here we are now from the article we know that this is shellcode which will decode PE file so somewhere in the article that will say so that's the part there once executed the shellcode will decode the PE file which is the payload we want so we are looking for a loop that will decode PE image and such a loop will have some kind of decoding decrypting operation which is interesting for us okay so if we step through the code we see the first loop right here and there's also an XOR operation and that points at ESI and ESI is here 19003F that will be a different address for you but if you look here it's starting here so the decoding operation F starting kind of here the decoding operation affects the code that follows right after so we can simply see how the instructions change right below and that's not the PE file that's being decoded there simply set a break point after the loop and to jump out of it and then you see okay it just decrypted these instructions below which might be part of the decryption process okay we will step through and see what we find here's another loop but this loop doesn't do anything just move some data from somewhere to somewhere not interesting we set a break point here to jump out of the loop okay we jump into this call and see look out for the more XOR operations here that's interesting okay you see here's the loop that goes up to the XOR operation so this is an interesting one again ESI plus the counter so the counter will increase every time and that's the location we will follow in our dump one and set a break point here that didn't work please set a break point I guess that's what happened before that and then set a break point after the loop in case you jump out of it and if you press F9 and look into the hex view you can see how this PEMH is being decrypted so this is what we want remove the break point jump out of the loop and you see our PEMH right here that's also in 19.0 something in my case again and your computer will be different address but take note of that address and then find that area in the memory map that's here oh sorry here right click and dump to file so we say dumped.exe and just close debugger that anymore and open this app in the hex editor because you see that the PEMH starts later in the memory dump so we remove the junk before that yes remove that and save that and now we have our payload to verify you may want to look for some stuff you find in the article for example there is a mention of Dropbox API so simply search for that Dropbox okay can't find it so check the unicorn string say search direction all and there it is so okay that's indeed our payload and we made we did it so that's what I wanted to show you in this article again I think you may want to proceed analyzing this payload and see if you also come to the same conclusions as this article does I think articles are a great way to learn analyzing malware because you can compare what you find in there and you can also find and sometimes you find addresses in the screenshots so or in the explanation so you can find the same location or you search for strings that you find in the article to find the same location and compare all right that's it for today thanks for watching and I hope to see you next time


What's that? Denver Nuggets. Yeah, man. I saw a story the other day saying Matt Ryan sounds to do with Nuggets. I didn't see that man. I didn't see it. There's somebody else, huh?  My wife is a better basketball player than I am for sure. Hey Matt, did you all figure something out in those last two drives there? I know y'all wanted to be more consistent, but I was the probably veggies other than opening two and filling the best stretch for you guys. Yeah, I mean I just thought we executed the way that we're capable of there at the end. And I think if we can do that more consistently, that's going to bode well for us. So hopefully we can use some of that momentum this week and try and play that type of way, consistent, efficient, and confident. And if we can do that, I think we're capable of being a good offense. And Calvin said that y'all are still trying to figure out how to move the ball and how teams are trying to play you all as a big part of that. Where is that process at and how do y'all move forward with how teams are trying to play you all? Yeah, I think every year, even when you have a lot of the same guys, every team is different.  It takes some time to sort through that and things change with injuries and things like that. With Russ being out last week, we had to do some different things. And so I think that we're growing towards who we want to become. We're not there. We got a lot of work, a lot of hard work in front of us to get there, but we're working towards that. And then as far as how defenses are playing us, it's a small sample size. A couple of weeks, small sample size, but there's certainly looks that we've seen with zone coverage and different things like that, that we can be more effective than we've been up until this point. Do teams usually do this to you in the beginning of the years, like in the years past, or is this a change for how teams are defending you early too? I mean, it's different with every team you play and who you're playing early in years. It was a new staff that we faced the first week, so you didn't really know what to expect going into that. And then a staff that's been together for a while in the second week. And so I think every year is different. I think every team that I've been on, even with the same coaches, are different. And so it takes some time to shake out, but I think each year is unique. And when it comes to just kind of not being able to really push the ball down the field, where you almost have to just kind of take shots even if they're there to keep defenses on us? No. I don't think there's a lot of merit to throwing the ball in there when it's a bad look. I think we've got guys that have proven that you can create explosive plays in different ways, whether that be throwing the ball down the field, whether it be a slip screen or something like that, throwing it a couple of yards and letting your guys make plays. I think we've got to continue to work at it. And when we get our opportunities, where we get looks that are advantageous for us, we've got to let it rip and go make the plays. Awesome. I know we're somewhat joking about some more belief here, but how important was it to get a win this early this season, clear last year when you were on a five-game skid, and now to kind of show these guys that the work you're putting in is paying off and you can win? I think it's good, but I also think there's a lot of new people in the building too from last year and a lot of different players, different coaches. And so I think you want to create collective belief in this unit and what we're doing and how we're putting things together from Arthur and Terry and what their vision is. I think winning ball games obviously is the best thing you can do to kind of create that belief. But I think it's been good. I think the Bayern's been really good from the start and the new guys that we've brought in, the guys that have been here before are all trying to come together to be the best we can be. Rick? You talked about explosive plays. What's your assessment of Cordero Patterson through the first three games in this office? I think he's done a great job. I think whether it be running the football for us or catching the ball out of the backfield or really changing the game in special teams with the way teams account for kicking to him and different things that they'll do. He's made a huge impact for us and I think he's done a great job and I've really enjoyed playing with him the first three weeks. How important do you think he's become now? He's really important. We ask him to do a lot of things. We ask a lot of guys to do a lot of different things and he's certainly one of them. But I think he's an important piece of us being a good offense and a good team moving forward. Josh? How often or what's the percentage of the looks you get each week that you were expecting to get in terms of your game plan or does that vary wildly from game to game? It depends on the week. Some teams are very game plan specific. The defenses that you go against might look like one thing one week and very different than next week. They're very specific to the opponent they're going against where you play other teams that are who they are and they kind of do what they do. So I think you kind of know that going into it with the opponent you're going against and the track record of the coordinator. But there's always, even with that said, there's always a few things in a game that you've got to plan for you that you've got to account for. What's the key to having success when you see those looks that you just didn't put into your plan that week? Well, I think it's about staying on your side of the ball. When you get looks or coverage or a front or something that we didn't necessarily prepare for, it's about knowing the rules of the offense inside and out and trusting those rules in those kind of situations. And that's something that we can continue to improve on as the year goes on. How much progress does this group have on the rules for this offense? Do you think collectively? Yeah, I think it's pretty good, you know, and I think it's getting better. You know, we're not perfect by any stretch of the imagination. We've got to get better for sure. But, you know, I think for the most part, you know, guys have been on top of that. Justin, how can you kind of dig into the old jokes of facing a Ramavara defense for this week? Yeah, a couple, you know, Ramavara, Jack Del Rio. You know, this is a lot of guys that, you know, I saw at different points throughout my career and both really good defensive coaches, they get their guys to play hard and physical. They're very stout up front, you know, good, really good defensive line, athletic linebackers, good and back end. So a team that had a lot of success last year and, you know, was very physical and tough. And that's always kind of been the hallmarks of Ron's defenses when I played against him in Carolina and certainly, you know, Jack's defenses in Oakland and in Jacksonville. Charles? What have you seen from Matt Hennessy in his first few games? Obviously there's a little league that's there of the middle against Tampa Bay and then you go to the game against New York Giants and have that solid pocket between guard and guard. Yeah, I think, you know, he's getting better. You know, he's a guy that, you know, played a little bit for us at the end of the year which I thought was helpful for him.  And I think he's, you know, I think he's improved every week. And that's what we need to see from him, from myself, from all our guys is, you know, gradual and consistent improvement as the year goes on. And I certainly think Matt has done that the first couple of weeks.  It's a tough position, you know, there's no doubt about it. I think those guys are asked to do, you know, a lot. Whether it be in the pass game, run game, pass protection, you know, play in multiple different positions for us, different spots, you know, in our letters, whether, you know, it's Y, FZ, different, you know, places that they have to play, they have to learn a lot.  I think, you know, I'm assuming you're asking about Kyle. So, you know, I think he's done a good job. He's warranted, you know, respect on other side of the ball from people. And that's one thing, you know, I've noticed early on in the first couple of weeks is that there's, you know, a plan for him and where he's at. And so he's just got to continue to stay patient.  And sometimes it comes in, you know, flurries, you know, you just hit you and all of a sudden you've got a game with nine, 10 catches, something like that. And so, you know, I think he'll just continue to chip away, get better like he's been doing, work really hard. And he made critical plays for us at the end of the game.  And that's what you want from guys like that. Do you feel like he's, that's kind of getting to him that he's not being... I don't. I think his attitude has been great. You know, I think he's competitive. He's, you know, unselfish, puts a team first. And, you know, just wants to go out there and make plays to help us win. And that's the vibe he's put out there the entire time. I love it. Chris, did you know you hit the 350 passing touchdown mark during the game or when did you find out? Not in, I guess not until after, after the game. Again, you know, it's a cool, very cool, you know, number to hit. I'm hoping there's quite a few more in there. And we can keep that going. But I'm proud of, you know, being at this point in my career and, you know, being able to do it for this long. But I didn't know until after the game. It seems like you're doing this every week now with the milestones for you. Does it mean anything to you like this? Does it get any less significant or more each week? No, you know, it's... You know, you kind of compartmentalize, right? Like the most important thing right now is winning football games and, you know, trying to do whatever I can do to help our team win. And at the same time, I'm very proud of, you know, what I've accomplished throughout the duration of my career. And, you know, so I'm proud of it, but I don't spend a lot of time thinking about it. You know, I really don't.  And I've always felt like, you know, if you take that approach, the other stuff kind of falls into line. Man, how would you describe the chemistry between Zakiya... Zakiya Smith and Sharp, of course, and guys that had a little bit different roles this game with games being... Yeah, I thought Alamaday did a great job for us.  I remember the catch he had over the middle in the red zone where he got drilled.  Did a great job on the touchdown catch that he had. I just thought he stepped up and, you know, I was proud of his effort. And Taj, you know, you mentioned him. I thought he converted one of the biggest third downs of the game for us in a spot where he hadn't had a target for the day. And he's about number four in the progression right there and wins on his route.  It kept the drive going and was big for our momentum. You know, you can't undervalue the role that those guys play. I mean, there are huge plays in the game for us. And neither of those guys blinked when their number was called to go make a play. Obviously, last game against the Giants, there were some things that you wish you would have did better, but a win is a win. Can you take from that game and bring it into this one if you guys plan to be victorious? Well, I think, you know, I think the way we finished the game was good. You know, the end of the fourth quarter was productive for us. I think we're going to be better at the end of the half, protect the ball better and try and come away with points there. You know, they're huge situations to take advantage of. And then, you know, hopefully, you know, it can be more consistent for four quarters. I think, you know, the good has been good, but we haven't been good enough. We just continue to be a little bit more consistent. That's going to help us out. Matt, for 14 years, you've developed a lot of fans, and I mean, obviously in this area of Taylor, I didn't play here.  What's it be like when a guy comes up to you and says, I remember he was a kid. Yeah, it's okay. I guess it's a little strange that it's a little flattering, but I've been impressed with him. He's tough, you know, really tough. And, you know, he's a guy that's earned everything. That's come his way. And he's gone out there. He's played fearless. He's played hard. And I think he's improved the more he's gotten to play. And so I have a lot of respect for him and what he's done so far. Do you remember in the console? I was, I had heard of him, but I'm pretty sure I never saw him play. I want to go back to what you were saying about Kyle and Deepins is already kind of being well aware of his skillset, what he does, where he is on the field. I mean, looking back over the last 14 years, is there a player that has either come through here offensively or a defensive guy that y'all faced that you kind of immediately zoned in on this early in a career? I'll play with a pretty good one at Y Receiver before. That made a pretty big impact when he came in in Julio. You know, that defenses were aware of and, you know, his skillset. I'm trying to think of early players that I played with. Those would probably be, you know, the two, from a skill position standpoint. And that's probably it. Tori actually took my attention. That's a good question. It was. When he was in Washington, guys, and also when you've got a box, what benefit is there to maybe try to do more play action early in the game? Does that help balance out maybe some of that pressure and some of that pressure?  You know, whether it be having to defend the run, you mentioned play action, getting the ball out of your hand, max protecting, five man protecting, doing all kinds of different things, you know, just to kind of keep them off balance. I think there are lots of different ways to do it. And I've done it lots of different ways throughout my career. We'll put together a plan this week and kind of see what is the best for us. I think there's lots of ways to do it. Is there a back fit in that start with this, too? To having faced Philly and Tampa, we also have very, very incidental dominant fronts early on for the line. Do you think there's a benefit to that? There's always benefits going against really good football teams. It's a measuring stick for where you're at and where you need to improve. And when you play against good players, you know, especially for a lot of our young guys, you know, it's a great opportunity to grow. And so, you know, I think there has been growth. I think there's been defensive fronts this season and I think there's been growth. Can you talk for a little more, Justin? So, Arthur talked after the game about guys getting second chances instead of making a quick change. Jaylen Mayfield, he was a tough game one. He's played better. He pointed the camera in his leg at tough games and really excelled against the Giants. When you guys see that, a guy getting a second chance, a coach not making a quick change, what does it say to the veterans on the team? Well, I think it, you know, we preach constant, you know, growth and daily improvement. You know, there's a sense of urgency for sure. But there's, you know, a commitment to allowing guys to develop and to grow. And we need that across the board. And so, you know, I think Art's done a great job of managing that, you know, letting guys develop and continue to get better as they move along in their career, but also demanding them to try and be at their very best at the time. Alright, thank you. Thanks guys. You're welcome.


Today is Narcissistic Abuse Awareness Day, and it pleases me no end to see my brainchild accepted into the mainstream. Millions of people around the world are aware today of narcissists, their behavior or misbehavior, and the particular form of abuse, the likes of which there is none, narcissistic abuse. I was the first to describe it in the 90s and popularized it over the next 10 years when I have had the only website on narcissism and the only 6 support groups on narcissism online well into 2004. And then all hell broke loose and people discovered that there is money in narcissism. So now everyone, and his dog or cat are experts on narcissistic abuse, coaches, trainers, you name it. I'm glad that I created the cottage industry and have been sustaining so many tens of thousands of people around the globe. It's a gratifying feeling, I've made a difference. But this is not the topic of today's video. That congratulation is always welcome of course, no one else will congratulate me. So I congratulate myself. This is an example of self-supply.  And so we are going to discuss normally stupidity.  Is he for real? Now when I say he, it of course pertains to she as well. Gender pronouns are interchangeable. There's an equal number of women and men diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder nowadays as opposed to the 70s and 80s when the vast majority of NPD sufferers were men. Today that's not the situation women have taken over. Women have become more narcissistic than men in many ways, regrettably. So I'm going to use he for literary convenience sake but of course it applies to women as well. We're going to discuss a very strange phenomenon.  And apropos this, my name is Sam Vaknin, I'm the author of Malignant Self-Love, Narcissism Revisited. I'm a former visiting professor of psychology in Southern Federal University in Ustov-on-Don, in Russia and I'm entering my eleventh year on the faculty of CIAPS, the Commonwealth for International Advanced Professional Studies, in Cambridge, the United Kingdom, Canada and with a campus in Lagos, Nigeria. Now that you have my academic resume, let us proceed to what interests you most and what interests you most is Sam Vaknin's hair, no I'm kidding, what interests you most is of course narcissistic abuse and its multifarious manifestations. Let's start with facts as we usually do. There is a disagreement as to whether people diagnosed with borderline personality disorder have an IQ which is higher than the average or lower than the average. However in 1977 came up with a former answer, BPDs, borderlines are more intelligent than the average population. Actually he found that the IQ of people diagnosed with borderline personality disorder is around 135. Swirsky, Swirsky-Sacheti or something in 1993 found the exact opposite. It was a study published by the National Institutes of Health in the United States, which is the authority on mental health among other things and the study found conclusively that people with borderline personality disorder actually have a much lower IQ than average and that includes their verbal skills and the same debate has been raging for decades over narcissistic personality disorder, psychopathy and so on and so forth.  In short, some people are intelligent, clever, smart, sharp, cunning but also unwise. Wisdom is not connected to IQ, wisdom is not a derivative or an inevitable outcome of a high IQ, a high intelligence quotient, perspicacity, the ability to kind of predict the future and adapt yourself positively to it also has nothing to do with IQ. So the question is wrong. The question we should be asking is, are narcissists and borderlines and psychopaths and so on cluster B personalities, dark personalities, are they wise? Are they positively adapted to life itself and its challenges, its exigencies, the vicissitudes and ups and downs and cycles of life? Are these people built to live and to survive and to thrive or is that, does the disorder preclude, does it preclude all these? This is the topic of today's video. A few terminological issues, lexical, lexical points. Pseudo-stupidity is not the same as stupidity. Pseudo-stupidity is pretending to be stupid, acting as if naive but actually behind the scenes being very, very sharp and cunning and manipulative and so on. This is pseudo-stupidity.  So we should distinguish pseudo-stupidity from stupidity as we will be doing shortly. Second thing, when I say dark personalities, these are not people diagnosed with narcissism, these are not people diagnosed with psychopathy and so on and so forth. In the dark triad, the dark triad contains three elements, subclinical psychopathy, psychopathy that cannot be diagnosed, subclinical narcissism, narcissism that cannot be diagnosed and Machiavellianism, the ability to manipulate your human environment in order to secure favourable outcomes, a form of self-efficacy that comes at the expense of other people by exploiting them or coercing them or gaslighting them or brainwashing them or entraining them. So these are terminology conditions, remember and replay if you have to. Okay, so let's proceed. Why do we find some narcissists, some borderlines, some psychopath, actually the majority of them, why do we find them a bit stupid? Why do they commit so many mistakes? Why are they error-prone? Why do they rarely get anything right, anything from relationships to the workplace? Why do they misread other people so egregiously, almost to the level of autism spectrum disorder? What's wrong with these people? What's wrong with cluster B people?  For example, covert narcissists are pseudo-stupid.  So this is pseudo-stupidity. People who are covert narcissists, they're also pseudo-humble. They display pseudo-humility. They pretend to be modest. They declare, they describe themselves as hapless victims. They're never to blame for anything. They're never guilty of anything. They've never done anything wrong. They are just continuously being victimized and preyed upon. They are co-dependent actually. This is a form of pseudo-stupidity. It's to put yourself down, to underestimate your capacity to read other people, to manipulate other people, to interact with other people, to claim that somehow you're disabled and that's why you keep falling prey to predators. It's a form of pseudo-stupidity. It's typical of covert narcissists.  They're not pseudo-stupid.  And in this video today, I will explain to you why I give you the reasons. And there are so many of them, so many reasons, so many causes, so many etiologies or what we call etiopathology. There is such a background of dynamics which are not helpful, not conducive to wisdom that it is what is shocking is that these people survive at all.  That's the way they're built. Start with grandiosity. Grandiosity is a severe cognitive distortion. It impairs the reality testing of those affected. It also undermines and sabotages self-efficacy. Now, those are very many big words, $10 words, my favourites, and let me try to break them down for you. Grandiosity is the belief that your inflated self-image is actually real. It's not fake. Your false self is not false. Other people may be getting it wrong, but you know for sure that you are unique, unprecedented, amazing, perfect, brilliant, and so on and so forth. It would take other people time to discover all these things.  You are superior in every conceivable way, intellectually, bodily, whatever. So grandiosity is a filter that distorts information from reality, incoming information, feedback, input. They're all distorted. They're all refrained. Grandiosity falsifies reality. And so in the absence of a firm grasp on reality, of course, you can't act wisely. The second thing is grandiosity hampers, obstructs self-efficacy. In order to operate efficaciously, efficiently in the environment with other people, you need to be able to read people appropriately. You need to be able to resonate with people. In short, you need to have empathy. The lack of empathy, common to all cluster B personality disorders, and in the case of borderlines, it's not a lack, but it's substantial reduction in empathy. That's the most recent research, most recent studies we have. It even made it into the DSM file. So the deficiencies in empathy, which in the case of the psychopath lead to absolute absence of any kind of empathy, except cold empathy. Cold empathy is cognitive empathy and reflexive empathy. So the absence of emotional empathy, warm empathy, the ability to resonate emotionally with another person, when this is missing, you can't decipher other people properly. You can't understand other people. And obviously, you can't manage yourself properly and efficiently with other people. And so this undermines your capacity to obtain goals, to realize your potential, to actualize your potential, to self-actualize, to collaborate with other people towards obtaining bigger goals, to work in a team, to survive in a workplace, to have an ongoing relationship which is, you know, savory and a happy one. In short, it limits you.  They alienate people and they narrow your opportunities and subject you to recurrent diversity. Definition compulsion is the direct outcome of this. Psychopaths and borderline keep repeating the same mistakes over and over and over again. No matter how often they get penalized, no matter how high the cost, they keep repeating it. And they keep repeating these mistakes because they keep disastrously misreading their environment and other people. It is a great definition of stupidity. Now, these people, cluster B personalities, they lack impulse control. They are defined, they are consummated, they reject authority, and they decompensate under stress, their defenses crumble, and they act in an innately crazy making. They do insane things. And these drawbacks guarantee frustration or worse. Again, acting in a self-defeating, self-handicapping, self-destructive manner is a form of extreme, extreme ingrained, profound stupidity. Next thing, next mechanism. In most of these disorders, there is extreme dissociation, especially in borderline personality disorder, but also in narcissism. There is dissociation. Because these people are dissociative, they're very bad at learning from past experiences. They never learn the lesson, not because they aren't able to derive a lesson, but because they keep forgetting the facts and the details, or they keep rewriting history to conform to their grandiose, fantastic, inflated self-image. And so there's no learning, these people never learn. And again, it leads to repetition, compulsion. Covering the same ground, the same swampish, quicksand ground. Their previous actions adumbrate their next actions. Their obstinacy, what appears to be obstinacy, is actually panic. These people are in panic because they know that they don't know. They have no database of life experience that they can draw on safely. They are not sure of their own experiences. They are not sure whether their memories are true or some kind of fictional concoction. It's a nightmarish existence. They go through life second-guessing themselves, confabulating in order to bridge memory gaps. It's terrifying. It's like having a very, very short-term memory without any long-term memory, a goldfish memory, a Korsakov syndrome memory. It's pretty frightening. But it also leads to what strikes observers as extreme stupidity. I mean, for Christ's sake, you've done the same thing a few years ago. Why did you do it again?  Why do you keep finding yourself in the throes of conundrums and scandals and mess and worse threats? Why do you keep driving yourself into situations which represent risk and danger and adversity, doing precisely, replicating actions that you've done before? It's a form of stupidity. These people are also entitled. They think they're entitled to special treatment without any commensurate accomplishments. And they're manic, like in bipolar, they're manic. So they never plan thoroughly. They're sloppy. They execute with no attention to detail. So everything goes awry. Everything goes wrong. Everything looks shoddy and con-artistic in a way. And so they appear to be incapable of the perfection that they attribute to themselves, or even much less. They appear to be a kind of poor imitation of the real thing.  They could have done. They could have achieved. They could have granted themselves the access that they so seek to higher-paying jobs, to better-looking people, to more accomplished professionals, to institutions and so on. They deny themselves. They deny themselves all these opportunities by refusing to invest, to commit. This is not laziness. It transcends laziness. It's some kind of resignation. It's like saying, well, if the world doesn't realize how deserving I am, how entitled I am, even without any effort on my part, then something's wrong with the world. I'm not going to justify the world's ignorance, and nicheance, and stupidity. How come they don't realize that I'm the world's leading genius, or the most drop-dead, gorgeous woman, or the most amazing scholar, or how come they don't realize this? They should have, and I should have to put no effort into communicating this to them, or justifying it, or underlying it, or founding it, or anything. I don't need to work hard. This is so self-evident that I'm superior, and perfect, and brilliant, and god-like, and amazing, and omnipotent, and omniscient. It should come as a self-evident truth, like in the Constitution of the United States.  At the heart of all this is the fact that these people are immature, they are the mental equivalents of children, and this renders them naive and gullible. They're very open to manipulation, to extortion, they're prone to being victimized by con artists and swindlers, and because they trust themselves to never fall prey to a predator, it's part of their grandiosity. But there's another reason. Over the years, over the decades of their lives, these people have learned to leverage the appearance of infantile haplessness and helplessness. This infantile helplessness is a signal. What they're saying is, please don't hurt me, I'm just a baby. Please don't hurt me, please don't hurt me, I'm a simpleton. Please don't hurt me, I'm naive and gullible. It is a kind of mimicry. I refer you to my video, the video that I've made about mimicry. Stupidity in this case is a kind of mimicry. They're pretending to be a lot less than they are, a lot less dangerous, a lot less evil, a lot less manipulative, a lot less Machiavellian, a lot less narcissistic, a lot less grandiose, a lot less worldly, and so on and so forth. They pretend to be terrified, they pretend to be hopeless, they pretend to be amiable, they pretend to be naive, and so they pretend all these things in order to fend off potential threats and predators. It's a Machiavellian tool in effect, it's a manipulative strategy. Now most of people with cluster B personality disorders, especially people with borderline personality disorders, suffer from an identity disturbance. Because they have memory gaps and severe dissociation, they are unable to form a stable core identity and so they fluctuate between various identities on the fly in response, in reaction to environmental pressures and stresses and stressors. So because there's no core identity, there's identity disturbance, these people are unable to maintain continuity and coherence. They depend on other people for external regulation of a sense of self-worth in the case of narcissism, or external regulation of emotions and moods in the case of borderline. And so when you observe them from the outside, they appear to be fickle, unstable, stupidly disloyal to themselves, or even without themselves. It's as if they are suggestible. The latest fad, the latest fashion, the latest statement, the latest question, turn them around 180 degrees. They don't have a stable center of gravity. They are catastrophically influenced by every bit of information from the environment and every push and pull of other people. We call this suggestibility. It's very common in histrionic personalities.  Additionally, these people have alloplastic defenses. They tend to blame other people, or the environment, or God, or the universe, or the world, or reality, what have you, or natural disasters, or whatever. They tend to blame the outside for their own misjudgments, miscalculations, defeats, and failures.  Generally, with alloplastic defenses comes a paralyzing external locus of control. This is as if people with cluster B personality disorders say, our fate is determined from the outside. There's nothing we can do about it. But this creates behaviors which are erroneously identified with stupidity. For example, indecisiveness, reticence, reluctance, avoidance, withdrawal. These are all behaviors of avoiding the world because the world is perceived essentially as hostile and malevolent and in control of their lives. And this indecisiveness or avoidance, they appear to be, they appear to involve, you know, a lack of intelligence, simply a lack of intelligence. I mentioned dark personalities. Dark personalities may be Machiavellian, but they are so embedded in fantasy. All these personalities have fantasy defenses. They're so paranoid. This paranoia is a form of grandiosity. It puts you at the center of attention, malign attention, malevolent attention, but still attention. So these personalities are fantastic. They're in fantasy much more than in reality, they're paranoid. Everyone is a persecutory object, everyone is a potential enemy or a real one. They are into conspiracy theories, global or personal, and they are firewalls. They're separated by rigid defenses. So put all of these together and people immediately spot them, immediately see through them if they're willing. As many people are not willing to see through these defenses and behaviors and so on. Not the topic of today's video. But if you are willing, the narcissists, the psychopath, the borderline on the first meeting in the first five minutes present you with a visit card. And on this visit card is a complete list of all their problems and all their dysfunctions. And so they're not very good at deceiving people or manipulating them unless the victims want to be deceived, unless the victims derive some benefit from being manipulated. And this is why these personalities resort ultimately and pretty fast to entraining brainwashing and coercion. That's why they deteriorate into coercive acts, almost invariably. And finally cluster B personalities are post-traumatic, they are compensatory, they're broken, they're false. At the core of each and every one of them there's a bed object, a series of introjects, series of voices which are harsh and critical and even sadistic. They have internal enemies. Three of their internal objects are for secretary. And so this constant battle zone, this constant civil war leads them to abuse substances and develop addictions.  They are these people, narcissists, borderline, psychopaths, they're invalids, they're extremely disabled people. And their disability reaches the point where it far outweighs any IQ they may have. The ability to solve mathematical equations is very nice. But how often do you need it in real life? Their capacity to synthesize insights from various disciplines is astounding. But how often do you do that in a lifetime? And how do you cope with your wife, lovers, children, coworkers, bosses, the authorities, the law? How do you survive life itself if you don't know the first thing about being human?


different emotions a lot of different things that went on in this game you know I can talk about you know the poise of Masahiro to come in here in a hostile environment and you know shut down one of the most potent offenses in the league you know that's one thing we could talk about you know it's a couple huge double plays in the infield that we turned and then just timely hitting you know it's that's the biggest thing but it was a fun game you know we just had a game playing and stuck to it. That alvarez ball came off the bat very hard just how difficult was that play and you mentioned double plays in the infield what's the level of satisfaction when you double a bregman there on that play? Oh that was huge he smoked that ball to me and I kind of almost slipped in the outfield on something and you know caught it and right when I looked up I just looked at first and saw DJ throwing his hands up and just kind of winged it to him and he made a good play over there to you know get bregman but it's just trying to capitalize on little things that's the biggest thing. What can you say about the pick DJ made on that play? That's what I'm saying I just kind of chucked it in there I kind of just winged it and he you know made a good play you know you got a guy coming in sliding in and it's going to be a close play but you know he he made that play right there. A play like that how much satisfaction does it give you compared to the offensive side of the game? Yeah just this especially in this situation you know the crowd is starting to get into that a guy on base and you know especially with one of their power hitters up at the plate you know he drove a ball in the gap and you know just being able to you know kind of shut down that end it was huge you know just get those two outs and get massive back with nobody on base and two outs you know I was just excited about that. Aaron all the RBI's this first one on the road? Yeah game one's the most important that's that's what I've said for a while now is you know game one's the most important and you know especially to come in here and you know get them at their own house that's huge especially know we got one more game here than three at three at home so um yeah we went out there just did our job and now it's time to get ready for them all. Aaron all the RBI's tonight came from guys who weren't on the 2017 club talk about how this team is different from when you were when you were two years ago. Well there's a lot of things we could talk about you know overall you know we're just a better ball club you know pitching wise we're better offensively at each position man we just we just got guys that can leave the ballpark at any time but they know how to work the count and that's what makes this team so special is the guys that can work the count get on base and they're so unselfish that they'll take those single when they need it and you know kind of pass it to the next guy and let him do the damage so I could talk to you for hours about you know how we're different but we're just just a special special group we got here so uh excited to get that first one. Aaron with how well Glipper has played during the regular season now in the post season it to the point where you almost expect it when he steps to the plate that he's going to make something happen. Yeah always always you know and he actually uh we give out that belt you know after every win and he came up to me before the game and said hey I'm getting the belt tonight you know so I said all right we'll see about that I know you're gonna have a good game but we'll see and he you know he proved it tonight you know just comes in every day ready to work and doesn't care if we're playing you know doesn't care if there's a big situation we're playing the last place team he's he's gonna go out there and produce. And Brendan mentioned the pick that DJ made on the throw from you he made a couple tonight I think he played just one started just one or two games in his career at first place prior to this season have you been impressed without seamlessly he's moved over to that position. Yeah definitely definitely moving around moving positions is tough you know especially in that field you get different balls head out to you different situations and you know for him I know he's a gold glove you know second baseman but he should be a gold glove second baseman third baseman first baseman you know from what I've seen him do and but I see him every day working on that you know BP is over there getting thrown from guys you know asking guys to bounce it so he can get used to it and it's uh now he's glad we have him. How impressive? Uh great you know especially getting strike one that's the biggest thing with a team like this is getting strike one he was able to work that splitter and slider basically put it wherever he wanted you know bottom of the zone out of the zone and you know when you're able to get strike one be able to put your pitches where you want on a team like this you're gonna have a good night. You know how difficult this place is to win here from this year for the playoffs two two years ago does it kind of feel like you got a monkey off your back coming in here winning game one to kind of send a statement to you guys can win here? Uh I feel like we can win anywhere you know I never never felt a monkey on our back or never felt you know like we couldn't do something you know especially with the team we got this is this is a special ball club you know so uh yeah anybody we play anywhere we go you know we're ready to go you know so. Aaron you played for so many things to help you guys tonight with the bad gloves off and what's it like every day with him especially tonight? What's it like every day with him? With play red. You guys a gamer you know like I said he comes ready to play you know that's the thing I've noticed about him and even during the season it could be you know April 1st or it could be you know October 10th it doesn't matter he's he's coming ready to play he's gonna give give us all and and that's that's what you want out of your you know 22 year old superstar. You mentioned Tanaka strike ones tonight it seemed also that you guys were hitting early in the count I know part of that is probably Grinky isn't going to walk a lot of guys it's also part of that being aggressive in this form in this ballpark kind of setting a tone.  Aaron did you notice Clayburn making the bell gesture around the bases? Oh yeah oh yeah he's he's he's done that a couple times now but I love it man he plays with confidence he plays with fun he always got a smile on his face and you love seeing that man it pumps me up every single time and I hope I want to see him do that every day.
