There are quite a few lessons here for those interested in spotting more bogus articles. Notice how the style of writing lends an air of credibility to it. Lots of high-tech sounding terms. Lots of numbers. I am surprised those doesn't have more decimals with them, that adds to credibility. Don't write 99%, write 98.96% or 99.36%. Since you're just making up bogus numbers, add some decimals as it adds an impression of precision. And quote lots of sources. Nobody bothers to check sources anyway, so you may as well make up many of those. And ... notice how the quoted sources don't all agree with each other, but that's fine, a little intellectual disagreement just adds to the flair.
The supposed Russian intel story would have raised the rate to 3.5 million per year
Not quite. The wording is a 40% increase in "sudden deaths" with about 1 mill "sudden deaths" per year as net result. Not 1 mill increase.
supported by American death statistics showing that of the nearly 2.5 million deaths reported by them each year the number of “sudden deaths” has increased to 40% equaling out to over 2 million “mysterious and unexplained” deaths from early 2008 to March, 2010.
"normal sudden death rate" times 1.4 = 1 mill /year
Which gives a "normal" sudden death rate = 714.000 each year. Out of 2.5 millions, or 29%. So roughly a bit less than 1/3 of all U.S. deaths in any given year are "sudden". Of course, as "sudden" is not defined it could mean just anything.
I am sure someone here will have the intellectual curiosity to check the U.S. death toll numbers for 2007 or earlier. I would be very surprised if the 714.000 "sudden death" has anything to do with reality.
Oh, nearly forgot: That would increase the total death toll from 2.5 millions to almost 2.8 millions. There should be 285.000 more U.S. citizens dying "suddenly" each year. Where's my tin foil hat when I need it...?
