Broken Guard Rails, Time to Face Reality

Guardrails exist to save lives, so too for protecting our Republic. What has failed?

Prescott, AZ July 24, 2025

The flood of information now coming out of D.C. insiders is stunning for many, but for those of us who have been warning the People for years, the vindication is precious. I’ll frame this summary of events that you may be unaware of, or have purposely ignored, because the captured media has labeled the information a conspiracy theory, in the context of guard rails. Folks, it’s time to wake up to reality, the guardrails are either broken or gone.

Steel guardrails, strong and sturdy, are in place to protect people and property. In many cases, when a collision occurs, they are damaged, but they have done their job and can still function until they are repaired or replaced. Similarly, the guardrails contained in our Constitution are there to protect the Republic from harm that men can inflict on their countrymen.

The guardrails enshrined in our federal and state constitutions are designed to prevent despotism; the “Separation of Powers,” the First, Ninth, and Tenth Amendments are just a few examples. We think we are protected by our Constitution, but when men refuse to abide by it, we are in a lawless state.

The First Amendment…

Long viewed as the protection of an independent news media to inform the people, the shame of this narrative is that it is no longer true. The Smith-Mundt Modernization Act was repealed, allowing U.S. media to engage in propaganda distribution against the American people. This explains why we see the proliferation of “fake news.” For a brief explanation of what happened on Barack Obama’s watch, click this link.

Now, the government is the “bad actor”…

We saw media manipulation here in Arizona during the 2022 mid-term election when then Secretary of State Katie Hobbs and now Secretary of State Adrian Fontes called on social media to shut down the outlet pages for Kari Lake and yours truly, Mark Finchem, just days ahead of election day on the pretense that we were engaged in spreading disinformation. The real reason was that we were winning, and Hobbs and Fontes needed to blunt the lead.

James Madison in Federalist 51 opined, "If men were angels, no government would be necessary." This quote highlights the fundamental reason for government: human imperfection. Madison argued that because people are not inherently virtuous, a system of governance is needed to regulate their behavior and prevent abuses of power.

The quote is part of a larger discussion in Federalist No. 51 about the structure of government and the need for checks and balances. Madison observed that while government is necessary to control the governed, it also needs to control itself to prevent tyranny. He believed that ambition must be made to counteract ambition, and that the interest of the man should be connected with the constitutional rights of the place. We rely on laws, not men, to ensure that all others will respect the civil rights of each citizen. The problem with that position is that it is men, not the laws themselves, who will choose to uphold the law or to ignore it.

The national government is by far, much worse…

A glaring example of the disinformation and espionage problem is this guy, who can only be described as a traitor.

Alexander Vindman, a Democrat activist embedded in the U.S. Army, used his position in the military and his classified status working first under Obama, then under President Trump, to surreptitiously collect and then illegally leak one of the protected phone calls between heads of state to undermine President Trump’s presidency. A call that was misrepresented in the media. That same “news” media that the First Amendment protects. Both are guardrails, and the political passions of the former damaged the latter.

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy…

The movie Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011) depicts a man selling out his country for an adversary, but not for cash. Based on John le Carré’s novel, it portrays George Smiley, a British intelligence officer, uncovering a high-level mole within MI6 who has been passing secrets to the Soviet Union during the Cold War. The mole’s betrayal, driven by personal ambition and ideological disillusionment, endangers national security and costs lives.

The film’s nuanced characters, tense atmosphere, and intricate plot effectively capture the moral and emotional weight of treason, illustrating how personal flaws and external pressures can lead to such a betrayal. Such is the case with what appears to be an ongoing criminal enterprise that has been known to the American political class for decades, but for their purposes, has been overlooked. The graphical representations continue to tell the story of how far our nation has descended into despotism.

Make no mistake, we have been living through a slow-motion coup d'état against the Constitution and the President orchestrated before 2016, and still at work today. This is the so-called “fundamental transformation “ that Barack Obama spoke of openly. The Russia Hoax was but one criminal component of the political psyop engaged in by individuals within our government who support despotism. Now, the People want to know whether anyone will be held accountable or whether they will get a pass, like most have in the past.

This is now all well-documented and can no longer be denied by the primary actors in the fraud against America. Oh, and both state and federal judges are in on it. Yet another grand rail that has failed the American Republic.

What did the playbook look like?
