Study Warns Of Rise In US Suicides by XXLBallon: 3:07pm On Feb 11, 2023
The number of Americans taking their own lives in 2021 came close to the peak seen in 2018, the CDC says.

The number of Americans who committed suicide in 2021 increased to 48,183, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

It was the highest figure registered in the country since 2018, when a record 48,344 people took their own lives, the US health protection agency said in a report on Thursday.

Suicides had been on the decline for two consecutive years in 2019 and 2020, with 47,511 and 45,979 cases, respectively.

The report did not give specific reasons for the suicide increase of 2,204 in 2021, which pushed the rate up to 14.2 per 100,000 citizens.

The CDC only said that “suicide is a complex problem related to multiple risk factors such as relationship, job or school, and financial problems, as well as mental illness, substance use, social isolation, historical trauma, barriers to health care, and easy access to lethal means of suicide among persons at risk.”

The agency called for vigilance in prevention efforts “as the nation continues to respond to the short- and long-term impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.”

The study also looked at those who took their own lives in 2021 from the perspective of race and ethnicity, revealing that the highest rate of suicides – 28.1 per 100,000 – was among American Indians and Alaska Natives.

According to the agency, the suicide rate also “increased significantly” among African Americans aged between 10 and 24 years – from 8.2 in 2018 to 11.2 in 2021, or by 36.6%.

The only group which saw a decrease in self-killings during the four-year period were white Americans. The suicide rate among them went down by 3.9%, from 18.1 to 17.4 per 100,000, the report said.

For those who have genuine questions and have no intent of being mischievous, the Minsk agreement was brokered by Russia, France, Germany and Ukraine...



Canada and the US are appendages of British colonialism.

Canada is thousands of miles away from Britain but the head of state of Canada is the British monarch.

Nigeria got her theoretical independence from Britain. The indigenous people of Canada never did...and they have no clean drinking water(although the occupiers/invaders continue to exploit their resources).
The US has a president as it's head of state because the illegal migrants/colonizers from Europe that occupied what is today known as the US rebelled against the British crown.
In other words, what we now know today as the US became a 'sovereign' country and has a president as it's head of state as a result of the civil war within the British empire.

What's your opinion on the legality of these issues?

Do you have an opinion on the US illegal occupation of Syria? What about the Israeli illegal occupation of Palestine. Is that what Palestinians and Syrians want?
I'm yet to see any man made law or rule that'll truncate the democratic will and right to self determination of the citizens of the Donbass republics.

The Americans did terrible things against their own indigenous people (the Native Americans), they subjected them to dehumanization and carried out a policy of near extermination and genocide against the descendants of the ancient race of North America.

They slaughtered Men women and children in large Numbers, Lakotas were massacred at wounded knee, Comanches were hunted and killed like games, Navaho women and children were forced to walk under harsh conditions and unfriendly terrain for 450 miles as they were being taken to Arizona.

Brave warrior chiricahua Apache leaders like Mangas Colorado, Corchis and the famous Geronimo waged wars of insurrection and resistance against the whites, after members of of the tribes were killed. They were also some native American soux leaders such as Touch the Cloud, Sitting bull and Crazy horse, these men demonstrated admirable courage and fought very hard like Crazy bears against an enemy with Superior weapons.

After the few surviving native Americans were finally taken to the reservations the white men continued to torment these people, they even institutionalized a policy known as "kill the Indian and save the man" they banned native American school children from speaking their language and keeping long hair.

During the Nuremberg trials after WW2, Hermann Goering a powerful German figure who played a major role during the war, told the Americans that you accused us of killing the Jews, what about you Americans who slaughtered you indigenous people for centuries and brought terror upon them, how do you even treat your Blacks?"

I share in the pains of every Nigerian but I'm not writing off my country.
There's defintely a lot of work to do and from the exposure I have (which apparently you lack), indigenous people of supposedly rich, advanced and ostensibly democratic countries do not even have basic and vital amenities such as safe drinking water.

Provide additional cover for when they suicide people they don't like.


I.e they're able to murder people (usually after sexually assaulting them) and get away with it by claiming the victim committed suicide. It happens a lot in Canada (homeless people are vulnerable victims, it happens in the hospitals also).



For 15 years, Charles Cullen slipped fatal doses of drugs into his patients' IVs — earning him the nickname the "Angel of Death."
Throughout his 16-year medical career, Charles Cullen bounced back and forth between various hospitals and nursing homes throughout New Jersey and Pennsylvania
Between 1988 and 2003, Cullen murdered at least 29 of his patients by injecting them with fatal doses of medication. It wasn’t only sick people who fell victim to Cullen’s dark urges, either. In fact, a number of his victims were on the road to recovery, and their lives were cut short by a man who was supposed to help them.

When he was finally caught in 2003, investigators realized that Cullen may have killed far more than 29 patients. Some even believe his true victim count was closer to 400, which would make him the deadliest serial killer in history.

Elizabeth Tracy Mae "Bethe" Wettlaufer[2] (née Parker; born June 10, 1967)[3] is a convicted Canadian serial killer and former registered nurse who confessed to murdering eight senior citizens and attempting to murder six others in southwestern Ontario between 2007 and 2016.[4] With a total of 14 victims either killed or injured by her actions, she is described as one of the worst serial killers in Canadian history.[1]

Homeless citizens are the new European Jews circa 1938. Immigrants are put up in NYC hotels, but nothing for the homeless. It's not accidental, the ruling cartel determines who is aided and who is discarded. The false narrative is that the Left is for open immigration, but it's the governing cartel that wants the labor pool and overvalues the dollar against the peso that keeps them coming. Everything is falsified in the US, the sovereign people have no power to change anything.

FreddieGray:


It has been established and it's a fact that the West had engaged in pre colonial, colonial and post colonial exploitation of African resources. The US/West exploits the world through various clandestine activities but most especially it's currency. The economic disparity between the collective west and developing countries can be considered an exploitation or rebranded slavery. The legal minimum wage for jobs in most western countries is the equivalent of $10/hr. For illustration, A factory worker in the US/west earns $15/hr, 8 hours per day in a 5 day work week = about $500 weekly. In 2 weeks time, this factory worker would be able to save about $1000 for a tech product (let's say an iPhone).... I know this worker will have other needs but this is just for illustration. Meanwhile, a factory worker in Nigeria working 8 hours a day..maybe 10K a day ..in a 5 day work week would earn like 50K naira weekly...in 2 weeks, that's 100K naira (less than $250 as of today). Both had the same labour input but the nigerian was exploited by the hegemon. The West influenced the politics of Africa. Most African countries are still under defacto colonialism. The Western interference in our domestic politics allows them install puppets('African leaders') who in turn give the colonizers a free hand to loot our resources. We can take advantage of the rivalry between the West and East and use it to our own benefit.

ParasiteWest:

There cannot be a right government until the West is put in their place.
The interest of the West in developing countries is to make sure the developing countries remain impoverished so the citizens of those countries would find migration to the West for 'greener pastures' attractive where they're then exploited and exposed to modern day slavery.
Their intent is to keep the West as a 'paradise' in the minds of the manipulated public.
The West influenced the politics of Africa directly/indirectly.
The right govt will get the 'Gaddafi treatment'

Napata77:


THE WEST IS EVERYONE'S DESTINATION BECAUSE THEY'VE CORNERED THE RICHES OF THE WORLD THROUGH MILITARY TERROR AND BRIGANDAGE GOING BACK 1,000 YEARS, NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE ANGELS.

THE CHINAS AND RUSSIAS OF THE WORLD ARE 'TYRANNICAL' BECAUSE IT IS THE ONLY WAY TO UNITE INTERNALLY TO FIGHT WESTERN IMPERIALISM.

IT CANNOT BE DONE VIA 'DEMOCRACY' BECAUSE EVERY NATION IS FILLED WITH SELLOUTS AND TRAITORS READY TO SABOTAGE THEIR NATION FOR A MESS OF POTTAGE.

AnyanwuSilas:


I'm an Igbo man and not a Muslim, I know what's good for Africans, it's the West that destabilise our continent and take our best brain, why should I live in the US or RUSSIA when chance is being created by Russia to build my home?

Russia have more nuclear warheads than the US, nobody will win a nuclear war, it will simply destroy the world, as an African it's better the world be destroyed and sent back to stone age instead the US will enslave the world, you think Russia is alone?
The US are hypocrite, what did Obama do for Africans as a black man? they rather used him to destabilised Africa, was it not Obama that killed Gaddafi,

Let’s be Frank, a multipolar world is better than one world order.

When the present crazy U.S. government provokes Russia (and possibly other nations) into a nuclear war, it will in effect commit suicide for 330 million Americans. Sad.

Long term unemployment is the major cause of suicide, especially when unemployment benefits run out after 52 weeks. The US Bureau of Employment understate the rate by re-categorizing the long term unemployed as "not in the workforce". The real rate is over 20%.

All of human history is just an endless litany of horrible things humans have done, and it's only getting more horrible. I have watched my government commit hideous genocides my whole life. It is impossible to live as an American with a conscience and not be suicidal. God bless these good Americans who can let go, and fling themselves out of this false world & into the abyss without fear. I envy them.
I don't think we are close to India's suicide rate though; those people kill themselves with such determination, it's like an Olympic sport for them

Well we know at least one of those was not a suicide. Jeffrey Epstein. In fact I'm sure that you can add more to his "suicide". Although it is very tragic that so many people feel that their life is either worthless or not meaningful enough. And many of those probably made the decision based on what type of life they were living. In many cases a good government, not many of those around if any, could have avoided many of those final actions. And there are various reasons for my view.

US is a nazi working concentration camp. It lures in the gullible with the advertisements like fairy tale movies and TV shows and series and those people can't get out of US anymore, they need to work every day entire day, sometimes 2 jobs, for the rest of their life. Who would want to be slave to western yankee nazis. Nobody normal.

While I certainly would not wish suicide to be a national phenomenon anywhere, the Yankees as a collective are to blame for their decaying society. USA is decaying in every single way; socially, economically, politically, financially; there is no area of US society that is improving. The one thing they have as a carrot dangling over the world's head is their dollar that they print as fast as they ran from the Afghanis and even that game is getting boring now.
