How The Media Confuses Americans About The Most Common Ways To Die
Submitted by Daniel Drew via Dark-Bid.com,
The Charleston church shooting flooded newsrooms around the world. Did the killer act alone? How much did he really hate black people? Should we burn every Confederate flag in the country? When will another racist strike next? Stay tuned for more! After reading this, one would assume there was an evil Confederate in every town, ready to open fire on every family in America. The reality is much different. The greatest danger to the average American is the cheeseburger they ate for dinner last night.
The best visual example of the state of the media is the recent Jake Gyllenhaal movie Nightcrawler, which documents his character's freelance career as a journalist who records grisly footage of violent crimes and accidents. His boss advises him, "Think of our newscast as a screaming woman running down the street with her throat cut." One quick glance at any major news source today, and one quickly discovers this is not an exaggeration. One study from the American Public Health Association found that some homicides were more newsworthy than others. The best murders for the news involve victims who are female, children, or the elderly. Top locations are in wealthy neighborhoods. Conversely, black and hispanic victims are not as exciting, apparently. A young white woman who is murdered in Beverly Hills will be all over every newsroom in the country, but a black man who got shot up in Compton might make a footnote in the LA Times if he's lucky.
Aside from the grotesque moral issue of masquerading journalists using violent crime as vile entertainment, an even greater tragedy is unfolding: the inability of Americans to properly assess risk in daily life. The pandering to our lower instincts via the tabloid journalism format has left a shocking void of real information and understanding. One popular statistical website, Five Thirty Eight, has provided a refreshing source of analysis in the otherwise mathematically oblivious journalism industry. Yet even Five Thirty Eight occasionally succumbs to a generally irrelevant story selection process with articles about lottery odds and sports instead of focusing more on science, economics, and politics. The average American knows more about LeBron James than the most common ways they could die. This is a failure of the journalism industry.
While you may never see a story about some random fat person dying from heart disease, that is actually the most likely way for an American to die. Second place is cancer. Nothing else even comes close to these two causes. Confederate racists, rogue policemen, terrorists, white thugs, black thugs, car accidents, airplane crashes, earthquakes, tsunamis, heat waves, blizzards, tornadoes, whatever you happen to be afraid of - it doesn't come close to the danger of being fat and dying of heart disease. It's such a huge factor, there's even an investment strategy for it.
If the media wants to continue their daily death tolls, the responsible thing to do would be to discuss how many people died of heart disease at the end of every broadcast. Every day, 1,674 people die from heart disease. That's the equivalent of three 747 airplane crashes every single day. In 2013, 611,105 people died from heart disease, which is more than the 407,000 Americans who died in World War II. Unlike other ways to die, heart disease is preventable 90% of the time. Yet instead of worrying about how to stop being such a fatass, Americans are more concerned about Confederate flags, gun control, police brutality, and ISIS. This is not a commentary on the validity of those issues. It's just a numerical analysis on the fact that Americans are avoiding the elephant in the room - which happens to be themselves.
Here are the numbers from the CDC.
In America, you're more likely to kill yourself than be murdered. Suicide is the tenth most common way to die, and it outnumbers homicides by more than 2 to 1.

Cheeseburger?
Our dinner was fresh pasta with pesto made with basil and garlic from the garden, broiled eggplant with homegrown vegetables and cheese, and sausage made from our home-grown grass-fed beef with tomato sauce from the garden.
Please don't tell me those are 'old-lady' pink dinner plates HH...?
Racism against blacks in America is at an all time high, and it has to stop. The white patriarchy has dominated America and oppressed minority groups and women since the founding of this country. I'm ashamed to call myself an American when I look at the despicable privelaged white middle class that happily exploits the third world and enjoys the riches of colonialism. White America's gun-loving culture also sickens me, and is a clear sign of their lack of morals and concern for the safety of their fellow Americans.
This can't possibly be real.
I am white, proud and I like being able to own a gun or rifel or shot gun. Simply because I can.
Except you look like a stupid hillbilly when you spell RIFLE---RIFEL.
Y'all got sum problem wit yer hed boy..
If there's no fat people how we gonna light lamps and wash ourselves when TSHTF?
Sheesh.

I always argue that dying from diseases caused by aging like heart disease demontrates a successful society. Hint: You will not live forever.
I have to agree. I thought the #1 cause of death among folks over 65 was old age. What the hell do I know? /rhet
Good points. Useless article unless one can show an increase over time for premature death from these causes. We will all die of something.
The homicide suicide rate comparison is also meaningless to me. One, you make your own choice, the other you don't. Major difference.
Believe it or not it's not the burger or the cheese that's the problem, it's the bun and the french fries.
when adjusted for traffic accidents (we drive more miles than any other nation) and black on black murder, American life expectancies are the highest in the world.
Bring on those burgers but hold the fries.
It appears we need to keep a wary eye peeled for "unintentional injury" !

I'm gonna need chapter and verse on that second quote.
Must be the Mormon Bible.
I'm an Anglican [Church of England] and we read the King James Bible. Moreover, I don't want to start reading my Bible to find the verse, and chapter, right now. Frankly, you can take my word for the fact that the verse exists as I have written it. I have an excellent memory for stuff I have read in the past.
I think Arnold was quipping about the fact that "gun" was used in a book written a BIT before it was invented.

MoU, Step away from the crackpipe NOW! Maybe you meant "sword" in your self-righteous moment...
I'm anti-Cocaine because it is a neurotoxin. I'm not anti-marijuana though, and perhaps I should smoke a tad less, you might have a point, boattrash.
You may need to shut your cock holster if you believe in books that are plagiarized fables.
Not trying to stomp your nuts...but think man....think.
RIPS
I agree, I will not procreate, I promise.
I think Arnold is subtly pointing out that there were no "guns" when the bible was written so referencing a direct quote here is highly suspect ; ) .... I think swords were the killer's choice of weapon back then though poison, knives, and bare hands were probably very popular, too.

Spread of Malignant NeoplasmsA malignant neoplasm is composed of cells that look less like the normal cell of origin. It has a higher rate of proliferation. It can potentially invade and metastasize. Malignant neoplasms derived from epithelial cells are called carcinomas. Those derived from mesenchymal (connective tissue) cells are called sarcomas. Malignant brain neoplasms and neoplasms of the immune system are special categories with complex nomenclature.
More rapid increase in size
Less differentiation (or lack of differentiation, called anaplasia)
Tendency to invade surrounding tissues
Ability to metastasize to distant tissues
Cytologic features of malignant neoplasms include:
Increased nuclear size (with increased nuclear/cytoplasmic ratio--N/C ratio).
Variation in nuclear or cell size (pleomorphism).
Lack of differentiation (anaplasia).
Increased nuclear DNA content with subsequent dark staining on H and E slides (hyperchromatism).
Prominent nucleoli or irregular chomatin distribution within nuclei.
Mitoses (especially irregular or bizarre mitoses).
All of these features are "atypical" microscopic findings. Atypia implies a change for the worse from normal.
By direct extension (invasion) into surrounding tissues.
Through lymph channels to lymph nodes (lymphatic spread)--typical of carcinomas.
Via the bloodstream (hematogenous spread)--typical of carcinomas or sarcomas.
Within body cavities (seeding)--typical of neoplasms impinging upon body cavities, such as the peritoneal cavity.

Yeah, the bible is full of stories about "guns". Lots of gun-battles in the bible. Didn't the Romans have machine guns? That must be how they conquered so much territory. But hey, I don't want to question your "excellent memory for things you have read in the past" so you must be correct.
MEA CULPA, Z/H
It's been a while since I read the Bible, thanks for the correction.
p.s. I forgot which weapon it was refering to, so shoot me for being off a tad.
:|
The Romans may not have had what we know as a "machine-Gun", but they did invent the Ballista, which, though "human-powered" has a lot of similarities.
So, yes, they DID have their "version" of a machine-gun in Biblical times, though maybe not quite as we would recognise it :-)
Unless you're being sarcastic (like MDB is), it most certainly does NOT say anything about "Guns" in the Bible. Especially since they didn't exist back then. It says (quoting Jesus) "He who lives by the sword, dies by the sword". And I haven't read it in decades.
His point was: You die as you live. But, Jesus failed to mention that... "Sheep and Sheeple do NOT die the way they live"[1]
Most people in history died by violence (swords, spears, arrows, knives, axes, Torture and Crucifixion... guns, cannon, bombs, grenades, drones, etc), even though they were not Combatants/Warriors but were ordinary People minding their own business of farm, or who simply dissented or objected to TPTB of their day. Going a step further...
Far, FAR more people died and still die because of the many invisible, nasty and monstrously large Army that Jesus's "Father" himself created: Bacteria, Viruses, Fungi/Mold, Parasites, disease-carrying insects (on infested rodents or on wing). Their biomass (by tonnage) FAR exceeds that of humans or even mammals, and their sheer numbers exceed it by Orders of Magnitude. Too bad Jesus sucked at Science. Somebody from Upstairs should've given him some Remedial Tutoring in his youth or his 40 days in the wilderness, that seemed to transform him to from a Tecton (worker), to an Activist.
[1] If you think about it, Sheep get 'saved' from the Wolf (who's just killing to survive, just as the Shepherd is), so that the Shepherd can eat it instead. Or -- and this is where it gets really 'rich' -- the Shepherd sells it to some Shaman (Priest), so that he can kill it as a burnt offering to some GITS (Guy In The Sky), and maintain his self-proclaimed status as "The ONLY Middleman between the People and the GITS." People are Sheeple, and they get herded, milked, sheared, fleeced and sacrificed to TPTB. Nothing new.
Two words MDB: MOVE OUT. Go move to your nearest friendly socialist shit show of a country over in Europe. There are lots of them.
I am white, not a racist and never have been. My dad was an immigrant who paid his dues to become a citizen. My mom was a first genearation American so my roots in this country don't go back to any point in time where we were slave owners. I never livd in the south, in fact I grew up in Oakland and remember when my junior high flag football team would get on the bus to leave our games that kidsin the hood would throw rocks (lots of rocks) at our bus (we all ducked as we drove out of the hood). My high school was equal parts black and white and we had a great vibe; we also had great sports teams. My sophomore year our JV football team stomped everyone in our league and after one home game a riot was started by fans of the opposing team. In every instance the racism was not coming from whites, it was directed at whites. Racism does exist in America, no doubt, but not nearly a level as these shril race baiters want everyone to believe. I think this is merely a stunt to create emotion in the liberal base to get them to turn out an vote in the next elections. The liberal left has no accomplishments they can stand on but they have many failures, among them: the greatest wealth divide in the history of our country, high unemployment (even Bernie Sanders says so), higher unemployment for the black population, and I could go on. The liberal base is apathetic right now and the lefties are trying to rally them with anything they can so they create false narratives and grab their bullhorns. It won't work beause deep down everyone knows the truth, and the truth that things suck and they suck because of the failures of liberal policy.
We are still slave owners.
Only the names of the owners are now .gov
And the names of the slaves are now taxpayers.
We are all slaves in one fashion or another.
black criminality is americas only problem at ground level.
Um, how about the millions of ILLEGAL immigrants of all ethnicities and races? Never heard of Latin American branded gangs? They are out there in force, armed, active, and angry.
We are coming to your area. You will respect our desegregating authoritah!
MDB is a notorious troll.
I ueed to feel like you. Dont take him literally. His subtle genius at exposing the hypocrisies of the left is usually entertaining.
This is how I feel after years of banging my head against the wall trying to wake up zio brainwashed democrips and rebloodlicans...

When did you join the semi paranoid bunch that throws in zio this and tribe that into their dialogue? Sure the two big parties are full of weasels, more or less sociopathic ones, but from there to the idea they are unwitting puppets of the joooos is mostly (just mostly) preposterous. There is a small effect.
Umm...
When I pulled my head out of my ass and took an honest look at things???
I suppose Mossad had nothing to do with 9/11 in your mind? PNAC and AIPAC are no big deal either???
Israelis caught on 9/11 with explosives

Take your pick, by the way MDB is a genius. If you don’t get it you probably never will.
it's sarcasm, glad your back mdb.
LOL, it's not. He enjoys seeing how many down votes he can rack up in any given post. He's good at it. I will reflexively down vote him before I realize what I'm doing.
Deaths due to terrorism in this country since 9/11 about 4,000 (thats a generous number). Deaths on US highways since 9/11---about 560,000. You have about 140 times more chance of dying in your car since 9/11 than a terrorist attack, but who gets into their car every day and thinks they are going to die? Yet here we are, giving up our freedoms for "security" none the less.
Mass manipulation, this is what you get from a controlled media. Brain washing.
On the one hand it is entertainment, programmed to get desired demographic eyes on during revenue segments(commercials) it leads if it bleeds and plays on spectacular sources of peril to its target audiences, sure. So white victim situations get more play. BUT these are still journalism majors at heart. You will almost never hear the perp's immigration status or origin mentioned.
It's the Zionist World Order media dutifully carrying out the EOZ protocols:
protocol 0 Place our agents and helpers everywhere
protocol 1 Take control of the media and use it in propaganda for our plans
protocol 2 Start fights between different races, classes and religions
protocol 3 Use bribery, threats, blackmail, lies and deception to get our way
protocol 13 Use our media to create entertaining distractions
protocol 14 Corrupt minds with filth and perversion
protocol 15 Encourage people to spy on one another
protocol 16 Keep the masses in poverty and perpetual labor
Well did you know that over 100 children die in America every year from firearm accidents? But I suppose your right to walk around with a gun and look tough is more important than the lives of children.
Exactly right!
pods
More than 100 "children" probably die of gunshots in Chicago alone in a year. Most of that goes on amongst narrow demographic slices. My carry weapon might be raised and.made to bark at a goblin some day, very unfortuneately, and there is a pretty high chance that said goblin would be technically a child. The victim will be me or some one else in immediate and serious peril, and the guilty party will be the child. Very possibly. Thank a bleeding heart voter or Pol for this situation. We used to have intact families in the USA. Before the Great Society and War on Poverty.
Of the 40,000 Americans that die on roads every year, there are many more than 100 kids that die. Shall we ban cars?
Absolutely! People don't kill people - cars do.
implying "anything for the kids", and that should include the sacrifice of our constitutional right to bear arms. Can you imagine how safe we will all be under a fully statist government that seeks to protect the welfare of americans? The choking, overreaching encroachment on our freedoms and liberties will be well worth the sacrifice. At least crime would be super drastically reduced. Just look at the crime rates of liberal states like chicago as a working example of the peace and safety that could be accomplished. If america were to criminalize the saying of anything offensive to another person, nobody would get into arguments anymore. Subsequently, no guns would be drawn, and that would eliminate any need for a gun.
"It's for the children" is Amerika's 1984 slogan.
Light rail, everywhere, will save us.
Over the last few weeks I have seen headlines on Reddit where children as young as three have pulled guns from their mother's purse and offed Mommy Dearest right in the grocery store. I think the last one was in a Walmart. In brief, don't forget that American children are cold blooded killers in training to become sociopaths like their USA politicians, and gun toting parents.
Save the chillens shoot a MDB.
Yes. White racism against blacks has to account for a huge percentage of black deaths. If only whites were wiped off the face of the planet, then black deaths from violent crime would virtually disappear.
This is humor, right? Sarcasm?
I am offended by ML King statues. They remind me of violence and injustice and should be removed from all government locations. I am not concerned about his non-violent approach, his followers supplied all the violence of which they are capable.
The statues have no cultural history or value, just like the Confederate battle flag.
White history is a story of privelage and exploitation. If you knew more about how terrible the legacy of colonialism and slavery was, you wouldn't hold your head so high. History books are full of the supposed great achievements of white men - we need to re-write history to include the achievements of other people and cultures, and tone down this excessive white patriotism.
lol
The browns should pool their money and mail the whites back to Europe. Never once have I heard this to be the solution.
Impossible. How will the browns pool their money to mail the whites back to Europe when the whites are the ones responsible for paying out their only source of income via welfare checks?
Blast! White math strikes again.
Just use EBT cards.
"Ok, good round. Back to your (4) corners for round 2. Stay on your side of the oceans this time, and no hitting below the belt *glares North*."
I'm offended by the Lincoln Memorial. Over 600,000 died in his war of federal supremacy and the elimination of state sovereignty.
But all history,,, good or bad,,, has value. It reminds people of how stupid they can be.
Someone who understands the back asswards logic...
Shame on Jefferson for having slaves (as CNN suggests), regardless if he ended the slave trade in VA and required anyone seeking statehood in the NW territory to be a free state (no mention of that).... and praise Lincoln for starting a war that killed 620K soldiers and citizens, obliterating the Constitution, going back on his word with regards to states' rights, exploiting the slaves when he realized that the war would not be won as easily as previously anticipated, and being generally irresponsible with public funds and misallocating said funds for infrastructure in the north. I guess he set the precedent for the next 150 years of irresponsibility and federal abuse.
It's TFJ's targeting white america. They're out to destroy important american white history as a means to marginalize the conservatives. It is sickening to see the destruction of america happening right in front of our eyes, and even more disgusting to see a growing population of white self-haters so willing to forsake their heritage. They emotionally hop on the band wagon of political correctness and fight for the cause of TFJ more than anyone else. The deception is unbelievable these days. Plus, americans are stupid as fuck.
Don't feed him. It's not the real MDB, who was a troll whose efforts were so subtle, so effecive that it was impossible to tell if he was human or an actual real life troll, posting from under a bridge.
This dumbass with the "_" after his name isn't the real thing. he's a shadow who wishes he had that kind of piss-taking talent.
Another excelently sardonic chunk of sarcasm MDB.
Well done, you described us to a tee. Now I'd love to debate you, but I'm off to the Bahammas to enjoy all that privelege.

David Lane is rolling over in his grave. White Nationalism isn't such a bad thing. Neither is black nationalism. I'd rather go our separate ways.
Public office holders lead by example. Public office holders are led by corporations.
There is where you will find those that instigate and perpetuate.
Power, government, and Zion control and distract us from their treason, plunder and tyranny via division.
The key is aggression. Niggers, and the rest, do not generally aggress against me and mine. But if they do, I have my buddies, and lawyers, AK, AR, and Glock to back me up. You should too.
Bottom line: If you understand who really perpetrated 9/11, killed the people at Waco, drummed up Sandy Hook, and played games without frontiers in Boston, then you know who the enemy is. And it isn't niggers, Muslims, or "illegals."
Now, on a day to day, hourly, basis, the only group aggressing against me and mine are the banksters, pols, crats, along with their thugs in the streets. They, my buddies and I, may have to pay a visit or two.
Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission..
Always about money, power, and division.
Don't let them take it. Don't let them have it. Don't believe it.
MDB says "I'm ashamed to call myself an American."
Funnily enough, we are all ashamed that you call yourself an American as well.
Why not stop your whining and emigrate to some place that you would be happy with -- Haiti maybe? But in any case stop whining.

Neither. I would, however, love it if someone decided today to throw away the television and start a garden, or maybe raise some rabbits.
Anyone can grow tomatoes.
Here here hedgeless .. I'm killing it laboring on my own account .. it's like printing your own money. my family eats awesome in the summer. made an amazing strawberry cheesecake ice cream last week ... strawberrites from the garden of course.
Will have my land in the next month or 2 and am going to try my hand at rabbits. I have raised chickens before successfully. I love the rabbit idea and have you to thank for the inspiration.
So thanks!
Very good! You are welcome. Congratulations to you!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hell, even I managed to grow tomatoes, and I'm a black thumb.
Ah, shit, that's probably racist.
Even vegans die of heart disease, I've done it twice.
Plenty of obese vegans on my street, mostly from India. They eat whole grains. You know, USDA approved human fodder, with fiber and everything.
How much fat in the sausage?
Actually very lean, as our cattle are milking shorthorns that are never fattened up on corn. We can select exactly how much pork fat we add, if any.
As a farmer, how do you have so much time to dick around on this site??????
Farming is just a lifestyle, as are our horses, and is not my vocation.
Get rid of your television and you will be amazed at how much extra time you have.
TV free since 2009 !
Meant no offense by the question; was just wondering about your schedule, as you appear to be a rather prolific writer/commenter here but also seem to have a somewhat expansive hobby farm. Example: my sister works about 40hr/week and only has +/- 50 chickens, ducks, and guines, but even still her additional hobby time (read: ZH posting) is about nil after work, chores, and family obligations...
I'm running at about a 50hr/week clip and eventually would like to have a small hobby farm but I'm not sure where I would be able to find the regular time commitment required.. Was hoping to get some thoughts from you
Get a like-minded spouse and have some kids.
you're at it again, making me hungry ... ;-)
And if you watch public american TV then you were braindead from birth.
Exceptional Cheese burgers!
Where is terrorism, I thought ISIS and Al-Qaeda were hiding in every dark shadow.
They are... OOOOOOWWWWWWWHHHHAHHAHAHAHHAHHAAAA...!!!!
They're obviously hiding inside your cheeseburgers. But they're not hiding in the bacon cheeseburgers, so those are still safe to eat.

''Davis said that the wheat we eat these days isn't the wheat your grandma had: "It's an 18-inch tall plant created by genetic research in the '60s and '70s," he said on "CBS This Morning." "This thing has many new features nobody told you about, such as there's a new protein in this thing called gliadin. It's not gluten. I'm not addressing people with gluten sensitivities and celiac disease. I'm talking about everybody else because everybody else is susceptible to the gliadin protein that is an opiate. This thing binds into the opiate receptors in your brain and in most people stimulates appetite, such that we consume 440 more calories per day, 365 days per year."''

THIS IS CORRECT
Not to mention GMO foods
Dramatic Correlation Shown Between GMOs And 22 Diseases“These data show very strong and highly significant correlations between the increasing use of glyphosate, GE crop growth and the increase in a multitude of diseases. Many of the graphs show sudden increases in the rates of diseases in the mid-1990s that coincide with the commercial production of GE crops. The large increase in glyphosate use in the US is mostly due to the increase in glyphosate-resistant GE crops.
“The probabilities in the graphs and tables show that it is highly unlikely that the correlations are a coincidence
https://www.popularresistance.org/dramatic-correlation-shown-between-gmo...
Its sad too because you could use GMO to produce some good crops, like drought resistance, higher yield, fast growth etc. But they had to muck it up with making it a means of poisoning the population.
Hold my beer ...
The USSofA's Sheeples Diet of GMO & Hollyhoodwink never fails.
All of those causes of death are preventable. All of them can be derailed through lifestyle changes.
Eating the toxic monkeygrub you're offered at grocery stores is key to the fat, sick, dumbed down society in which we live.
"Unintentional injury" is kind of hard to prevent since by definition, it was "unintentional".
Unintentional injury, i.e. accidental injury, can't be totally eliminated (like every other cause of death), but it can be reduced by being more alert, being more cautious, being more aware, etc., and not doing stupid things that are going to earn you a place in the Darwin Awards. A lot of idiots die because they did stupid things. Nevertheless their deaths were unintentional.
Tell this to the prepper community. Do they have a plan against cheeseburgers?
Man made heart attacks

Don't tell me, I missed it again?
we were saved by their vigilance
Every time I eat a cheeseburger, I think, "Well, I'd rather die of a heart attack than cancer."
how many people died of "intentional injury"? I wonder
That total is the last column on the right.
