very similar to the way that i system temperatures are they are true believers and this is their reality and they will not surrender it you know they're dead enders welcome months that is a former intelligence officer for the u.s. navy and a regular commentator on m.s.n. b c so no stranger to trump sentiment he's just one of many public opponents of the president his comments show the current anger between the main political parties in america that is spilling out into the streets if you are supporting a president that is caging brown babies and you are ok with that then i'm sorry that is supporting racist policies you're talking about a man congresswoman. from. you're talking about. nice to. you they are not a majority of this country that the majority of white people in this country are

not a majority of the country and all the people who are not fooled by this need to come together go to the polls go to the protest do whatever you have to do you do not go see it with these people you destroy them. might. you call trump followers racist and mass they simply coalesce around each other and become even more defensive and protective of the leader just as they would in say a terrorist organization. editorial director of the reactionary times who you know rivera believes that attacks by democrats are insulting and disingenuous. it was extremely inflammatory and hateful rhetoric just trying to store controversy to this point the left has no shame in the rhetoric that they're willing to use the most inflammatory disgusting

slanderous commentary against anyone that you want to they are detachment from reality the trumped arrangement syndrome so to speak go ahead and say anything about anyone that type of rhetoric is not only disgusting and slanderous and libelous against conservatives and supporters of president trump it's downright unpatriotic. the black friday shopping extravaganza is underway in shops all around the world unless say the americans alone will spend around $87000000000.00 this time around chasing the best deals but there is a darker side to this retail festival as donald quarter explains. black friday is coming up big box retailers are gearing up for their annual mega sales super profits and consumer stampedes that will probably result in more than a few injuries in a georgia wal-mart to have been fighting over pots and pans one refusing to let god

. that wasn't brutal enough for you there is an even darker shade of black friday the kind that takes place on the darker shade of the internet called the dark web it's a place where black marketeers pursue huge profits with alluringly low prices just as much as the legitimate guys probably more so and there are plenty of consumers looking to buy those contraband goods society has become more digital and i don't without so his crime despite their activities being on rule from illegal criminals all returned in surprise in a sense i'm not looking to maximize the opportunities it's no small enterprise either last week the european union published a report about online narcotics sales in the u.k. it said 24000000 pounds sterling worth of the stuff was sold in 20172018

low and on black friday everything from credit cards fake passports and illegal drugs are for sale at bargain bin prices and marketplaces that are specifically designed to be completely untraceable and while buying illegal items puts you at risk with the law you should also be aware of the very vendors you're buying from security experts are sounding the alarm and how you can avoid a black friday. as we head into the holiday shopping season notice there is a new online scam that involves fake retail websites that look real but they are not scams come in many forms one popping up more and more is fraudulent websites that look exactly like the real thing no doubt the a thorough. these will be hard at work trying to stop these dark web deals but what about the consequences that come with legal black friday consumerism for so long 'd the overproduction and overconsumption that characterizes the holiday have been cordially accepted as the norm no matter the frenzy that overtakes many or the

damage it wreaks on the environment the latter has become so bad the french government is debating on banning black friday altogether but for now expect the usual frenzy for anybody who takes part in a black friday so who wants to be part of this when ever there is a chance fraudulent activities especially with what we know about the dark web in certain facets of the internet and with all of the hacking capabilities of fire wall breakings and all this other stuff we need to be taking personal responsibility individual responsibility and being sure that we are in charge of what happens to our finances and where we are putting our finances that it really takes advantage of the narrative that people have to shop on black friday that that is the only time you can get presents for your children for your family for your loved ones and your friends and so it really gives the some of these hackers or these dark web or some of these false sites an opportunity really to to prey on these on these shopping sentiments and to try to find people who are going to be

likely to give in to any deal that looks too good to be truly and because we don't take the time to look into that especially on black friday when it went in and say it's not only a frenzy but there's a time constraint we have one hour we have a certain amount of time or it's going to be over and you'll miss it forever and that's what gets people in these modes where they're not going to look it up they're not going to research to see which sites are legitimate which sites aren't and that's where they might be able to be taken advantage of you know if you want to international thanks for the company help out with the top stories in 30 minutes . industry is based on greed greed is based on this. rush to cumulate as much paper wealth as possible even though it's not genuine wealth spot actual money it's not gold like a warren buffet just hoards of money like an old granny would hoard phone books and

that does incredible damage because. it's into the population this notion of holy. little.

your mother 1st woman interview and i'm very excited to talk to thank you specially about the brain because it seems to be the turn or topic so you're very. well known and respected neuroscientists and you have covered many aspects of human brain and how it works and all of that and i have talked neuroscientists and most of them tommy that we're very dual beings that brain and body are 2 separate entities one is. by the other they all seem to somehow stick to this theory i want her you think there are really 2 separate things the strange image of the brain in the body also look a bit weird if you that was the case. no they're very integrated if you think about it the immune system the and the crown the hormone system are things that we have in common so the placebo effect for example where you can take a drug that's completely in a completely has nothing active in it but you think it's going to.
