Abuse of Power & Legal "Warfare"
The apparatus of the Judicial Branch working to undermine political speech
This is what a radical leftist Sinaloa Cartel lawyer who ascends to an office over all elections, with the help of the State Judiciary, does. It’s called “lawfare” which is one component under the umbrella of unrestricted warfare, promoted by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
Last week Judge Julian recorded an order for me to pay sanction fees and costs to the law firm representing Adrian Fontes, an action which is outside of the A.R.S. Title §16 Election Contest Law. Today I received a demand to produce all records pertains to everything involved with my campaign, including donor’s personally identifiable information. It is not me they are after, but it is YOU they want to harass and persecute. This cannot stand, so while I will pay the fees and penalties of free speech, I am not done. So the Arizona Supreme Court is not happy with their roll as arbiter of fact and law, they now want to judge the social discourse of political debate.
I was stunned to learnt that the court of law seeks to judge preemptively what is truth and what is fiction; what is “misinformation.” This is outside of the court of law and now in the public square of discourse. Adrian Fontes has stated publicly, and repeatedly, that anyone who is an election skeptic and explains what is broken in the system is spreading misinformation, yet we see proof that shows what is broken. Gaslighting is alive and well in the Arizona Executive Branch of government.
But back to the Court… the very same court that has refused to consider evidence of widespread election process defects and clear violations of state and federal election law —the rules that we all are expected to abide by— favors legal process oriented to ignore clear and convincing evidence of election fraud. The court must be held accountable.
Task Force on Countering Disinformation
Who defines what misinformation and disinformation is? We have already seen sovereign disinformation at both the federal and state government level. For example, Maricopa County elections officials committed perjury in the Lake v. Hobbs case in Judge Thompson’s court. It has been revealed that those same officials lied about testing tabulation machines and when the testing was done, and whether the testing was done in compliance with the law. But the courts take no action on what happened in court, never mind what happens outside off the court chambers.
So the Arizona Supreme Court has taken it upon itself to set up a Disinformation Taskforce. What the hell?
Read the Task Force's final Report and Recommendations , October 2020
Read the Task Force's Concluding Report, March 2022
The Task Force on Countering Disinformation was established by Administrative Order No. 2019-114 to study and make recommendations related to disinformation and misleading campaigns targeting the U.S. and Arizona justice systems. The Task Force was also established to propose approaches to public education and to communicate accurately the roles and processes of courts, among other goals. The Task Force was continued through 2021 to implement its earlier recommendations by Administrative Order No. 2020-203.
Administrative orders made by unelected and seemingly unaccountable officers of government, aka judges? We shall see if the Arizona Legislature examines this revelation.
How It’s Done
This is a display of the contempt that the judicial system has for you, the people that the justice system is supposed to protect. The contest was supposed to be under contest law A.R.S. § Title 16, not civil law, which means civil law procedures —rules— adopted by the court should not apply. The lawyers working to subvert Title 16 make outrageous information demands over a $40,000 fees order designed to punish a political opponent of the radical left. I publish these information demands to reveal just how out of control the radical left is, and how they are using the courts to engage in the act of crushing political opponents.
“Pursuant to Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure 33, 34 and 36, Contestee/Defendant Adrian Fontes, in his individual capacity, submits the following Non-Uniform Interrogatories and Requests for Production…

Response
While the underlying case has been disposed of, and the fees will be paid to protect the personal information of donors, the fight is not done. As you can see by the “interrogatories” above, the demand for deposition has nothing to do with paying the fees, it has everything to do with identifying the people who support the political process. The reason I am paying the fees is protect you all, faithful supporters.
We will appeal the judgement as unwarranted, unethical and an outrageous usurpation of power that the Legislature did not award to the courts. The precedent that has been established cannot be allowed to stand.
