-
What post-liberals get wrong about classical liberalism
Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – America’s strength rests on more than wealth or military power. As post-liberals call for government to restore moral culture, classical liberalism offers a different path: protect rights, respect conscience, and let families and communities shape...
-
Long-tail terrorism
Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – Terrorism evolves as institutional activism spreads ideology and technology lowers barriers to political violence. Decentralized threats challenge defenses built to dismantle organized networks. Preventing attacks requires stronger detection,...
-
Long tail activism
Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – Long-tail activism turns institutions into engines of political influence that persist beyond elections. Universities, corporations, and government agencies spread ideological priorities through incentives, policies, and professional standards....
-
A conservative vision for liberty and national strength
Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – Conservatism returns to first principles by defending free speech, ordered liberty, secure borders, assimilation, accountable institutions, and restrained government. It rejects modern systems of coercion while calling for transparency, national...
-
A new conservative platform
Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – A modern conservative platform defines government’s role through natural rights, constitutional limits, federalism, fiscal discipline, competitive markets, educational choice, healthcare reform, energy abundance, and strong families, arguing that...
-
A new conservative platform
Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – Conservatism moves beyond political disruption by rebuilding the institutions, responsibilities, and moral foundations that sustain a free society. Human agency, strong families, education, honest markets, civic institutions, constitutional...
-
The war on words: How language shapes the Israel–Palestine debate
Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – Political conflict increasingly turns on contested definitions. This discussion examines antisemitism, Islamophobia, Palestine, Zionism, and the Israel-Hamas war through history and first principles, arguing that precise language is essential for...
-
Democratic Socialists & the Satanism of Karl Marx
Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – Democratic socialism promises compassion through redistribution, but its dependence on capitalist production creates mounting risks. Rising taxes, regulation, debt, and inflation weaken investment, productivity, and currency stability, revealing…
more -
The politics of demonization
Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – Human beings disagree about nearly everything. We disagree about the proper role of government, about taxation, immigration, healthcare, education, foreign policy, religion, economics, and even about the nature of justice itself. A free society…

How identity politics fuels Democratic Party schisms
Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – Identity politics deepens divisions within the Democratic Party as establishment leaders, democratic socialists, and moderates compete for control. The growing influence of socialism, economic intervention, anti-Israel activism, and centralized...
-
Equal opportunity is not equal outcomes
Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – America promises liberty, but real opportunity depends on schools, families, work, and law. Equal outcomes cannot be engineered without destroying freedom. The path forward focuses on removing barriers, rewarding effort, reforming education, and...
-
The difference between science and consensus
Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – Science loses public trust when institutions use its language to protect power, profit, and ideology. From religious authorities to corporations and political movements, the pattern remains the same: conclusions come first, evidence follows…
more -
Statistical anomalies prompt calls for transparency in LA election results
Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – Questions mount over Los Angeles election results after one ballot-counting window shows a dramatic shift unlike earlier or later returns. Statistical claims, concerns about voter distribution, and suspicions of ballot manipulation drive a broader...
-
The moral instability of unlimited egalitarianism
Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – Modern America increasingly confuses democracy with liberty and equality with justice. Movements that seek to eliminate constitutional restraints in the name of direct majority rule are not expanding freedom. They are weakening the barriers that...
-
Understanding the systemic causes of political violence
Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – Propaganda multiplies the effect. Foreign broadcasters, hostile regimes, and ideologues amplify grievances and blur truth. Purity politics and virtue signaling make belief a credential. Once people feel moral bankruptcy awaits them unless they…
more -
Gerrymandering and the crisis of legitimacy
Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – Gerrymandering becomes more than a mapmaking dispute as Americans lose faith in elections, courts, and democratic rules. Partisan redistricting exposes a deeper legitimacy crisis, where each side sees defeat as existential and the nation drifts...
-
The honest moral question behind abortion
Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – Abortion debates often hide behind slogans, but the central issue remains whether ending a developing human life can ever be justified. By framing abortion through justifiable homicide, the argument forces clearer moral distinctions around…
more -
The morality of the state and its limits
Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – Modern politics increasingly confuses personal morality with the responsibilities of government. By collapsing distinctions between mercy and justice, peace and surrender, and moral law and statecraft, leaders weaken nations from within. Biblical...
-
Why civil rights nonprofit organizations never declare victory
Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – This is why the old civil rights organizations cannot allow America to be understood as a country that has made enormous moral progress. Their relevance depends on the opposite claim. The SPLC cannot simply track actual extremists. It must expand…
more -
Two wars: Missiles abroad, narratives at home
Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – We watch two wars unfold at once: one of missiles and drones, another of money and narratives. Rising oil costs, a weakened Iran, and global influence campaigns reshape power. Truth struggles as information systems reward outrage, threatening moral...
-
Collapse by cost and design
Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – A sharp examination of government spending reveals how incentives drive waste, dependency, and rising costs. Through personal narrative and economic insight, it exposes how political promises, hidden burdens, and public demand combine to create a...
-
Islam and the Islamic Republic of Iran
Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – A stark examination of Iran’s ruling system reveals a regime driven by theology, power, and coercion. It argues that nuclear ambition cannot be separated from ideology, warns against Western misjudgment, and distinguishes between the Iranian people...
-
When deterrence fails: A hard look at Iran
Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – I argue that war can become necessary when threats are credible, time favors the adversary, diplomacy fails, and strategic opportunity emerges. I examine Iran’s nuclear ambitions, regional behavior, and vulnerabilities, urging a clear-eyed…
more -
The price delusion: How Keynesian economics replaced real growth with bubbles
Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – Younger Americans believe the economy has failed them. They see housing prices that feel completely out of reach, college tuition that either blocks opportunity or leaves them buried in debt, and everyday costs that seem to rise faster than their...
-
The fracturing of America’s two-party system
Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – A country cannot steer in both directions at once. That tension now runs through the American body politic. The institutions still function, but the shared framework that once stabilized them is fracturing. If that framework cannot be rebuilt,...
-
The difference between health and medical care
Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – Two personal stories reveal a hard truth: health and medical care are not the same. America’s crisis is cultural as much as structural. Costs, innovation, and policy debates miss the deeper issue—chronic illness and hidden distortions drive...
-
From Cronkite to clickbait: The bias of news has eroded trust
Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – When incentives lose citizenship, accountability vanishes. None of this means Walter Cronkite was uniquely virtuous. He was the product of a system that rewarded seriousness. Today’s system does not reward the most trusted voice. It rewards the…
more -
A father’s fascism
Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – I trace a question my father never resolved: how fascism takes hold without people noticing. Drawing on history, economics, and my own military experience, I argue that America did not narrowly avoid fascism, but absorbed it quietly through...
-
Why free markets are failing without being free
Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – Markets across the West are said to be failing, but the problem is not excess freedom. It is the absence of it. This episode examines how political and corporate power fuse to distort competition, suppress innovation, and replace real markets with...
-
Two deaths at the edge of the law
Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – Two fatal encounters, separated by ideology but bound by consequence, reveal how moral certainty and institutional distrust drive citizens into deadly conflict with law enforcement. By examining actions, incentives, and narratives rather than…
more -
The assimilation threshold and why immigration has limits
Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – Immigration is often treated as a moral slogan rather than a system with limits. This episode examines assimilation as a rate-dependent process, asking what happens when societies absorb newcomers faster than shared norms can form. It explores...
-
The global censorship campaign
Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – Global platforms quietly reshape speech by limiting reach rather than banning words. Algorithms, foreign regulations, and non-state power converge to suppress dissent without formal prohibition. You can speak freely, but audiences disappear. Modern...
-
Understanding the difference between a religion and a cult
Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – If we want to understand the difference honestly, and not just dismiss everything we don’t like, we need a better framework. And that framework is intent. A religion is a system of belief created to seek truth about the world and humanity’s place…
more -
The fear of free will
Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – At the individual level, misuse of free will produces local damage. At the institutional level, misuse produces systemic damage. Errors are replicated at scale. Mistakes become policy. Failures are insulated from correction because admitting error...
-
“Dude… you hired an American?”
Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – When it comes to education, we rank eighteenth among developed nations. That should give us pause. Our competence was transmitted through education. We earned our reputation as the most productive and innovative nation on Earth, and for decades, we...
-
The CIA vs JFK, Nixon, and now, Donald Trump
Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – The Slotkin video is simply the most overt expression of this pattern to date. The question is why now. The answer is that Donald Trump, like Richard Nixon before him, is one of the only presidents who does not accept the supremacy of the...
-
Pride, humanity, and the architecture
Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – Pride begins a fall long before the damage is visible. From the ancient story of Lucifer to the collapse of modern civilizations, this reflection explores how humility sustains moral order while pride corrodes truth, conscience, and shared values.…
more -
Lean Government, what government is for
Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – Lean Government is not about utopia. It is about direction. It is about building systems that improve rather than decay. It is about forcing the government to measure what matters, eliminate what does not, and restore the principle that the…
more -
The alt-right is the left’s reflection!
Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – Figures like Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens, who once played important roles in pushing back against left-wing insanity, have drifted into something else that I believe is driven more by the pursuit of fame than the pursuit of truth. And in that...
-
The architecture of Liberty
Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – Western civilization stands at a crossroads between liberty and ideology. Institutions built to preserve truth now manufacture it, eroding accountability and meaning. Yet a renewal emerges beyond academia and bureaucracy, led by those who still…
more -
The politics of fear and the death of calm
Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – Fear replaces reason as society’s pulse quickens. Politics becomes a biological reflex, not a debate. The Left governs through panic; the Right feeds on the reaction. Liberty erodes as fear becomes policy, and calm turns suspicious. America’s heart...
-
Political Gnosticism and the collapse of shared reality
Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – Political Gnosticism explores how modern politics turns belief into a quest for hidden truth and moral superiority. It reveals how pride replaces humility, dialogue collapses, and every disagreement becomes a battle for righteousness. The piece…

What is an economy, and what is it for? (story continued)
Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – Exploring how economic systems reflect human nature, this piece examines Marxism, Fascism, Corporatism, and modern ideologies that seek control instead of freedom. It argues that prosperity depends not on policy but on virtue, responsibility, and...
-
What is an economy, and what is it for?
Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – The economy is not a machine to be operated, a lever to be pulled, or a formula to be optimized. It is the sum of human action. It is everything people do, from farming and building to trading, innovating, and exchanging. Because it is human...
-
The battle for defining evil in the West
Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – Competing moral systems clash, redefining good and evil in irreconcilable ways. Judeo-Christian values, Progressivism, Islam, and Nazism each demand loyalty to their vision, fracturing the West. Political violence escalates as assassination and...
-
From Dawkins’ meat machines to Charlie Kirk’s death: an analysis of modern leftism
Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – There is a crucial difference between left and right. The right knows what “too far” looks like. It rejects political violence, racism, and conspiratorial fantasies. When extremists try to attach themselves to conservative causes, they are…
more -
Liberty, not machines, drove every great revolution
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…

Weaponized guilt and the death of agency
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...
