Cutting Through the Chaos

Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – History teaches us that revolutions come from machines, but the real force is liberty. From plows to steam engines to artificial intelligence, invention matters only when people are free to use it. Cutting Through the Chaos reveals how freedom fuels every leap forward—and why protecting liberty today determines the progress of tomorrow...

Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – Weaponized guilt reshapes the West by replacing responsibility with shame and distorting history into a tool of control. From Marxist critiques of prosperity to cultural narratives that erase context, guilt is wielded as a weapon. True agency and gratitude are replaced by indoctrination, weakening freedom while empowering those who exploit collective blame over individual responsibility...

Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – Civilizations rise and fall not on economics or armies, but on the moral blueprints that guide them. From faith traditions to modern ideologies, each shapes law, culture, and governance in profound ways. This exploration reveals how moral gravity directs societies, why some endure while others collapse, and why renewal of shared foundations remains urgent...

Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – Antisemitism endures across centuries, surviving empires, ideologies, and revolutions. It adapts, finding new forms whenever societies seek a scapegoat. From religion and politics to culture and media, its persistence reveals more about those who wield hatred than those targeted. This exploration confronts why it never dies and what its survival means for civilization itself...

Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – If the United States falls, it will not be from foreign conquest or economic miscalculation, but because we abandoned those principles. The choice is between a managed decline into global serfdom or a rebirth of self-government built on liberty. The first step is honesty about Social Security, about immigration, and about the future we want to build...

Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – We are at a crossroads. If we continue to deny the value of our own foundations, we will collapse. But if we rediscover those foundations, if we recognize the strength that came from our moral heritage, we can begin to rebuild. The West was not perfect, but it was uniquely capable of self-correction...

Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – Reflecting on visits to Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and Auschwitz, I confront how nations remember war. Japan’s peace museums mourn tragedy but omit crucial context—atrocities committed, wars started. Without honest memory, peace becomes propaganda. I explore the necessity of truth, universal moral codes, and the dangers of forgetting why wars begin, not just how they end...

Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – It’s not just ideological dominance. It’s psychological control. Because if you can’t use the right words, you can’t form the right thoughts. And if you can’t think clearly, you can’t speak clearly. And if you can’t speak clearly, you can’t resist. The war on words is the war on thought, and therefore the war on freedom itself...

Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – America’s younger generations sense something is deeply wrong with the system. They’re not mistaken. But they’ve been misled about the cause — and more dangerously, about the cure. They are told that capitalism is to blame for high housing prices, stagnating wages, student debt, and dwindling opportunity. In reality, they’ve never lived under a...

Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – So the question becomes: who decides what truth looks like in a world where truth is defined by statistical consensus? This is the civilizational crossroads we face. AI is not inherently tyrannical. It could be a force for transparency, liberty, and discovery. But only if we strip away the institutional monopolies that define what is allowed to be said...

Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – Exploring how civilizations hinge on a transcendent moral spine, episode argues that faith in a personal, sacrificial God undergirds Western legal, political, and scientific progress. It contrasts Christian revelation with Islamic concepts of power, warns of spiritual collapse masked as political failure, and urges a return to divine truth to restore coherence and preserve freedom...

Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – The redefinition of fascism is part of a larger pattern. “Racism” now means disagreement with any DEI policy. “Democracy” means one-party rule, as long as it’s the correct party. “Equity” means unequal treatment enforced by state mandate. The left does not merely debate; it redefines, then declares all dissent illegitimate by definition...

Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – We go back to 1971, when the United States fully severed the dollar from gold. That’s the moment when the government gave itself permission to spend without limit and pay for it through the hidden tax of inflation. And they’ve done it, again and again. From the housing crisis to COVID relief, the answer to every problem has been to print more money...

Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – What we are witnessing is not a partisan dispute; it is a struggle between the people and an entrenched oligarchy that fears true liberty. Garneau warns that we are being herded toward a fascist super-state, one that has shed nationalism but retained the machinery of total control...

Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – I explore how an unelected bureaucracy within America’s intelligence and administrative state has assumed control, sidelining voters. It examines coordinated media narratives, selective enforcement, and covert tactics—from “sue and settle” to kompromat—to neutralize dissent and manipulate elections, revealing a managed democracy where institutional allegiance outweighs citizen power.

Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – Explore how diverse civilizations, from ancient Israel to imperial Rome to modern United States—survived profound crises not through reinvention but by returning to their foundational principles.

Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – These NGOs spend just enough (typically around 3% of their USAID funding) on their supposed mission to avoid legal scrutiny. A little goes to overhead, although they have little overhead as they don’t really do anything. The rest of the money goes to the salaries and bonuses of the politicians, family members, and friends these NGOs employ...

Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – This podcast explores how America’s constitutional safeguards, embodied by one man’s defiance, spared the nation from the same creeping institutional enslavement that grips Canada. Exposing the deep state’s narrative dominance and soft totalitarianism, it examines Trump’s unconventional fight against elite control and his ongoing struggle to reclaim true independence today.

Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – The black economist who questions systemic racism narratives. The gay writer who critiques gender ideology. The female professor who challenges feminist orthodoxy. These people are not debated. They are disowned as ‘traitors’ to their identity, and their voice is stripped of legitimacy. Why? ...

Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – The West’s embrace of progressive energy and immigration policies, especially in Canada and Europe, is highlighted as a cautionary tale. Many of the same failed policies are being pushed by the current U.S. administration. What happened to Europe and Canada wasn’t inevitable. It was chosen because voters trusted emotional appeals and well-meaning...

Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – Xi believes China is in a position of power. He sees America as divided, Europe as irrelevant, and China as the rising hegemon. He sees the BRICS nations rallying behind him, China’s military swelling, and the Belt and Road paving the way for a Chinese-led world order. He thinks the future belongs to him. The problem is that Xi Jinping doesn’t know what’s...

Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – Under Donald Trump’s renewed leadership, the U.S. faces growing hostility from former allies as it breaks away from creeping global authoritarianism. With Europe rearming and embracing China, and domestic institutions like USAID under scrutiny, America now stands increasingly alone—defiant in its commitment to free speech, national sovereignty, and a global reset that challenges the old order.

Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – Activist judges are blocking key deportations, undermining the President’s constitutional authority to protect national security. When foreign nationals tied to terrorist organizations operate within the U.S., the Commander in Chief has clear legal power to act. Judicial overreach threatens the balance of power, as some courts interpret the Constitution based on...

Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – The biggest problem the political left has is an inability to admit that leftism can go too far. In fairness, political moralism occurs on both sides of the aisle. There are plenty of Trump supporters who really are everything the political left pretends that all Republicans are. There are also Democrats like Bill Maher who do not drink their team’s Kool-Aid...

Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – If we are honest with ourselves, Ukraine does not have any chance of taking the Donbas and Crimea back without direct military involvement from either NATO or from member states of NATO, and Crimea represents the only year-round ports Russia has. As such, access to Crimea is a hill Putin is willing to die on. This gives us three choices...

Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – The left's rhetoric has escalated, with figures like Robert Reich and J.B. Pritzker comparing political opponents to fascists and Nazis.

Cutting Through the Chaos examines the truth behind these inflammatory accusations.

Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – Some argue that we are in a cold war with China. Still, the difference between the Cold War and what is going on now is that the Soviet Union could never make serious ideological and political inroads into the United States. In contrast, China has gained the ability to censor our mainstream media by denying them access to the Chinese market unless they...

Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – Both political parties claim to support the people, but one aligns with the federal bureaucracy and media while failing basic governance.

Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – To make matters worse, insurance providers in the area recently stopped providing fire insurance due to California's refusal to fill its reservoirs or to take care of its land in terms of basic fire management techniques. As a consequence, those who have lost and are losing their homes are now uninsured against the fires that have destroyed...

Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – Those on the political left claim that right-wing extremism is raising its ugly head, but the truth is that there is nothing extreme about the movement back toward the right that has been occurring over the past few years. The public of the Western World has, instead, watched country after country fall over the abyss into left-wing extremism and has watched...

Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – Similarly, the ‘unholy trinity of medical care’ states that a system can prioritize only two of these goals: quality, affordability, and universality.

Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – Brian Thompson either died because he was a greedy CEO making over $23 million a year who put profit over people, or he died because someone (allegedly Luigi Mangione) murdered him in cold blood.

Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – Many on the left will make two arguments against the notion that the decisions we make determine the outcomes we achieve. The first one is that factors beyond our control, primarily race, make it much easier for some people to do well than for others to do well. The second argument is that while the decisions we make could impact the lives we live, being able to...

Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – Government should exist to protect citizens’ freedom, yet often serves the elite’s interests instead. Throughout history, we see power corrupting even well-intentioned leaders. Identity politics, division, and targeted rights threaten unity, fostering tyranny over liberty.
