Dear Editor,
We had a peaceful protest at Kingman Mayor Miles’ house Sunday, Sept. 13. This is as close as we have gotten to her since this all started if you don’t count when she called the police on us when we went to the City Complex to bring her important face mask facts and information. She won’t speak to us, won’t return calls, won’t return e-mails, from what we can tell, she doesn’t go to her office and she will not have live city council meetings. She cancelled a speaking engagement last week at the RWC after we made it clear we were coming to hear her speak. So today we wanted to remind her that she does not have the right to put muzzles on our faces. We are not animals, or her slaves, or her property. We are free, sovereign human beings with God-given, inalienable rights. Over the past six months, we have had to shut down our businesses, have been quarantined in our homes (for those who haven’t lost them), kids have not been able to go to school, we’ve lost our jobs, bills have gone unpaid, and stress and depression, alcohol and drug abuse, domestic violence and suicides, are off the charts. People that have needed critical medical attention have gone without due to propaganda, panic and fear, and the terminally ill have been left to die in hospitals alone. We’ve been banned from churches, parks, beaches, parties, bars, gyms, restaurants and gatherings of any kind, and standing less than 6 feet away from someone has become an arrestable offense. Whenever we have been permitted to go to a government sanctioned business or facility, we have been commanded to act like we are chronically ill by having to wear face coverings, and every move we have made has been dictated by red arrows and line markers. Forcing a healthy person to go through life like they are chronically ill is a form of psychological torture. The widespread devastation and criminality are almost incalculable, and all for nothing.
There is no pandemic. The CDC has just updated its statistics that 94% of the supposed COVID-19 deaths were not actually COVID-19 deaths. They were advanced in age and had 2-3 comorbidities, which in plain English means they died from natural causes or from something else. So the remaining 6%, that were virus deaths gives the U.S. a mortality rate of 0.0000279% or 3/100000%. Our thriving country annihilated for nothing. We now see this whole event was a miscalculated virus at best or leaning towards a manufactured crisis. Either way, there is no pandemic and there is no emergency. So the big question is why won’t most of our elected public servants let the truth shine through and celebrate that? Why are governors and mayors and city councils clinging on to this agenda for dear life like their budget depends on it?
Some things we do know are face masks do not prevent the spread of an infectious disease or virus, and even if there was one, someone wrapping a dirty, old, loose handkerchief around their face that they’ve worn for weeks would do absolutely nothing to protect them. It’s laughable and you surely must know that.
We have submitted stacks of information to this council by doctors and virologists explaining that face masks do NOT prevent the spread of viruses. We do know, however, that face masks are dangerous because they are germ incubators, deplete oxygen to levels that are OSHA violations, and they force us to breathe carbon dioxide.
My appeal to this council is Mayor Miles had no authority to issue such a reckless, dangerous ritual and neither does a City Council. Trying to order us to continue obstructing our airways with any type of face covering is unconstitutional, unscientific, insane and illegal, and no one has the power to make us do that. If someone chooses to wear a face mask, that is their option. But if for some reason this council passes a mandate that they think will compel us to do something this egregious to our bodies and endanger our health, tries to cancel our free will as sovereign Americans, I would say that not only are you unfit to serve as City Council members but that you are committing a crime, one that should be addressed in a court of law. Don’t forget that Attorney General Brnovich recently sided with us that Mayor Miles’ proclamation was illegal, and he also just announced that Governor Ducey has unconstitutionally shut down businesses and is abusing his power. How much further do you want to push this destruction? Kingman City Council, please tend to City business, take care of the budget and water issues, do not attempt to rip away our inalienable rights, smother our faces with masks and continue the wreckage of the past six months.
Mayor Miles and Kingman City Council, you have no authority to make people wear face masks for another minute let alone until 2021. End this insanity by voting for basic human rights to breathe freely as God intended. NO to Mandatory Face Masks or we will be forced to recall those who threaten our freedom and our health.
Thank you,

Your comments are inaccurate and appalling to the public health.
No more masks.!!!! If you wAnt to go ahead .and do so great . The governor has no right to In force we wear anything what so ever ! The government the elected officials work for us the people . I’m not wearing a mask ! And these in Kingman will not be in office to long after this the truth on this Coronavirus is going to come out the real numbers . It makes no difference what so ever it’s politics It’s no defrent then the flu .
This handful of people does not represent the majority. They are loud. And they do like to bully. Their opinion is the only opinion. I think protesting in front of someone’s home is despicable. Even a public servant has a right to a home life without harrassment.
Never knew we had such stupid people living among us. Are they also ignoring the “no shirt no shoes no service” signs on all businesses? Of course not. But God forbid we mask up to prevent the spread of a virus that has killed 200,000 Americans and counting. Look at that Kathy’s “Karen” post… another ignorant Donald codependent who should seek an intervention STAT.
Wow! All of a sudden we are the loud, bully, minorities!! Sounds like someone got triggered. Did you ever stop to consider that we, the people, have a right to a home life without harassment? More cultural Marxism at its best.
We’re currently fighting a war against an invisible enemy that’s right here in our country and has so far killed 200,000 of us. No, Kathy Karen, it is not just a flu. Unbelievable there are idiots that still believe this Trump lie. Imagine if today’s self centered self absorbed selfish instant gratification ignorant Americans had to survive the rationing in and after WW2. These weak little wimps would fall apart at the seams….
Every American was issued a series of ration books during the war. The ration books contained removable stamps good for certain rationed items, like sugar, meat, cooking oil, and canned goods. … Once a person’s ration stamps were used up for a month, she couldn’t buy any more of that type of food.
Supplies such as gasoline, butter, sugar and canned milk were rationed because they needed to be diverted to the war effort. War also disrupted trade, limiting the availability of some goods.
On 8 May 1945, the Second World War ended in Europe, but rationing continued. Some aspects of rationing became stricter for some years after the war. At the time this was presented as needed to feed people in European areas under British control, whose economies had been devastated by the fighting.
Meat was the last item to be de-rationed and food rationing ended completely in 1954.
And these whiny little KARENS are upset about wearing a mask when they shop for 20 minutes…..
suck it up for America. If your Donald hadn’t disbanded our US Pandemic Team and ignored the growing threat for over a month despite constant warnings while constantly praising Communist China and President Xi (all documented on Twitter) then we wouldn’t be in this mess now.
But your glorious ‘leader’ BLEW IT and here we are.
I feel sorry for all the people that have lost there jobs and business that have closed there doors. Seems like if a person does not want to wear a mask its there right not to wear one. If someone is so afraid of catching it wear your mask.
It is unbelievable that President Trump gets blamed for this to. What is wrong with you people? I agree that ignorance plays a role in this whole pandemic but it’s not President Trump. Im sure you people are smart but you are totally ignorant to whats going on. Instead of researching and listening to ALL sides before opening your mouth and proving beyond a doubt your ignorance. You choose to put it all out there and prove nothing. People like you are obviously sheep who will follow anything thats shiny and sounds good to your ears. Whats next? If socialism wins, you won’t be able to complain, not even here. You might want to think about that next time you trash our President.
