The “illegal immigration” issue is quite complex.

First, when we say “illegals”, we’re talking about human beings. People.

In part, we’re talking about innocent men, women, and children walking hundreds (if not thousands) of miles to escape conflict and corruption-ridden countries by any means necessary. Risking death to obtain more freedom. Just wanting a better life, taking chances even if it means losing life in pursuit of freedom.

In part, we’re also talking about possible agents and actors intentionally sent here to infiltrate the US “way of life” (whatever that means now) and wreak havoc.

In part, we’re talking about people who are put in place by cartels and drug traffickers along trafficking routes.

In part, we’re also talking about people who just want a better life, are willing to work for wages that no US-born-and-raised people are willing to work for, and simply haven’t gone through the so-called “legal” channels to become a “citizen.”

And in part, we’re talking about people fleeing war-torn countries where US-backed conflicts and regime changes absolutely destroyed their homes, killed their family, killed their neighbors (“necessary collateral damage 🤡), ruining any chance of obtaining food, water, and shelter.

Very few have a viable solution, as it’s a very complex issue. And with that being said, all of the “solutions” I see are from people adhering to politically tribalistic talking points. No one wants to talk about this in a nuanced way. No one wants to discuss this with all of the proper context. No one actually wants a real solution for *human beings*, but rather to maintain whatever political tribalistic position they’ve regurgitated from talking heads on “their side.”

But what I do know is this:

The “illegal immigration” issue has, is, and will continue to be used as justification for the government to increase biometric surveillance, police militarization, AI-driven crime prediction tools, harsher technocratic crackdowns, and more.

And all of that can, and will, be used by whatever future administration is “in power” to violently impose its ideology on those who oppose it.

Whatever solutions are being discussed right now aren’t about creating more freedom for people in the US (or most Western countries, for that matter). It’s the opposite.

The left isn’t the problem. The right isn’t the problem. It’s the entire system that has otherwise (mostly) lovingly, well-intentioned people believing the “other side” is the problem, handing over their own power and authority while “their side” is in office.

Statism is the problem. Tribalism is the problem.
A lack of principles, values, nuance, contextual understanding, compassion, and inner-work is the problem.

Yup. The power is in the people. Literally.

The creative life force flows through each and every one of us.

Our “thought energy” (beliefs, thoughts, feelings) as well as our words and actions.

Are your thought energy, words, and actions unwittingly empowering the state and those who wish to dominate and control?

Or are you “walking off the plank”, so to speak?

Join us tonight at 7pm ET for the premiere of episode 213: The Corrupted World of Medicalized Birth with Dr. Stu Fischbein.

No animal in nature needs to be taught how to give birth. So why have we convinced human mothers they do?

In this episode, Alec sits down with Dr. Stu Fischbein, an obstetrician who spent more than two decades attending hospital births before stepping outside the system to examine it more closely. After years working in highly structured medical environments, he began asking a difficult question: why hasn’t more intervention led to better outcomes?

Modern approaches to birth and healthcare have drifted from basic human biology, and how fear, liability, and protocol often replace judgment and trust. This isn’t a debate about extremes—it’s a grounded look at how medical intervention, when applied by default, can create cycles that are hard to escape.

What we see now is what happens when you combine:

controlled opposition in government conditioning others to believe they’re fighting “the deep state”
+ Karpman Drama Triangle
+ bias-reinforcing social media algorithms
+ false dilemmas (left vs. right)
+ the Hegelian dialectic
+ zealous hero worship
+ info from the Milgram Experiment
+ info from the Stanford Prison Experiment
+ info from the Asch Experiment

Controlled opposition in government

When a “resistance” figure or faction appears to oppose corruption, but actually funnels anger right back into the system, keeping people emotionally invested in politics while preventing real structural change.

Karpman Drama Triangle

A manipulation pattern where people get locked into three roles: Victim, Persecutor, and Rescuer, keeping everyone emotionally reactive and dependent, and preventing self-responsibility, accountability and solution-oriented beliefs, thoughts, feelings, words, and actions.

Social media algorithms

Algorithms feeding you content that matches your existing beliefs, showing you the most extreme versions of those with belief different to your own, while stalking fear, rage, and drama. Over time, this narrows perception, eliminates critical thought, keeps you in fight or flight, and turns your political identity and ideologies into a dopamine loop.

False dilemmas (left vs. right)

A forced binary that makes people think there are only two options, hiding deeper alternatives (like, IDK, opting out of the belief in authority entirely) while keeping those who engage trapped in a tribal conflict.

The Hegelian dialectic

A pattern where a problem is created or amplified, a predictable reaction is generated, and then a “solution” is introduced that expands control. People accept the solution because they’ve been psychologically primed by the crisis.

Zealous hero worship

When people outsource discernment to an authority figure and treat them as morally infallible. It creates blind spots where followers excuse behavior they’d condemn in anyone else.

Milgram Experiment

Showed that ordinary people will inflict harm on others when instructed by an authority figure, even when it violates their conscience. It highlights how obedience can override morality.

Stanford Prison Experiment

Demonstrated how quickly people can adopt abusive behavior when placed in roles of power (“guards”) over others, showing how environment and authority structures can bring out cruelty, even without explicit orders.

Asch Experiment

Showed that people will deny obvious reality to conform with a group’s incorrect opinion, revealing how social pressure and group think mentality can override perception, logic, and truth telling.

Join us tonight at 7pm ET for the premiere of episode 214: Exposing the Most Dangerous Childbirth Myths & Procedures with Dr. Nathan Riley.

When did we decide women’s bodies couldn’t be trusted to give birth?

Childbirth is often the first place we’re taught to override intuition in favor of authority. In this episode, Alec speaks with Dr. Nathan Riley about how modern systems shape pregnancy and birth — not just medically, but psychologically and culturally.
This conversation isn’t about rebellion or nostalgia. It’s about responsibility, trust, and what happens when we’re trained to hand those over.

They talk about natural birth, home birth, and the power of doing less instead of more. C-section rates keep climbing and fear is introduced early through institutional rituals. Education, compliance, and credentialed authority train us to outsource knowing, especially during pregnancy and birth.

A very important message for The Way Forward with Alec Zeck podcast listeners and viewers:

As you know,
I pour my heart into my podcast.
These conversations have changed my life, and I know they've changed the lives of many of you as well.

Most podcasts have corporate backing, massive donors, exclusive episodes behind paywalls, or big brand advertisers footing the bill.

The Way Forward has none of that.

We’ve had many potential advertisers approach us that we ultimately turned down in order to stay in integrity. I don’t want to endorse products or brands I don’t personally use or believe in.

I also haven’t been as clear about this as I should have been—and now I’m swallowing my pride and asking for help.

This podcast is sustained overwhelmingly through memberships to TheWayFwrd.com.

This show has roughly 140,000 downloads a month. If even a small fraction of that chose to support, we’d be able to sustain this.

We’re not asking for donations. We’re asking you to join TheWayFwrd.com as a means to support our show.

Membership is $99 a year (about $8.25 a month—think roughly the cost of a couple organic kombuchas at Trader Joe’s), and it allows you to instantly connect with people, practitioners, and community aligned with health and freedom in your local area.

If you’d like to see the podcast continue, this is how you can support it.

Join us tonight at 7pm ET for the premiere of episode 215: Feng Shui and the Energetic Dynamics of Your Home with Danijela Saponjic

Feng shui asks a simple question most people never consider: is your space supporting the life you want to live? Alec has spent years questioning the hidden systems shaping our health and freedom, and this conversation with Danijela Saponjic opened a door most people never think to walk through. Feng shui, environmental health, and energy flow quietly influence your nervous system, your relationships, and your ability to create a life that actually feels aligned.

This episode goes far beyond aesthetics or surface-level decluttering. They get into how your home functions as a living interface between your body, your mind, and the world around you.

Some things can’t really be explained. They have to be felt.

This is a glimpse into what unfolded last year at Confluence, a gathering rooted in health, freedom, coherence, and real human connection.

The workshops, the music, the land, the food, the conversations, the quiet moments in between… it all weaves together into something that’s hard to put into words.

If you feel something stirring as you watch this, trust that. Join us for our 2026 edition, April 23–27 at Sovereignty Ranch in Bandera, TX.

Join us tonight at 7pm ET for the premiere of episode 216: How to Heal Your Body by Healing Your Energy Field with Jason Yuan.

Did you know your health issues might depend on your biofield?

In this episode, Alec sits down with Dr. Jason Yuan, a physician and practitioner working at the intersection of holistic health, energy healing, and consciousness research. The conversation centers on why chronic conditions often persist when health is treated as purely physical and what becomes possible when the human biofield is taken seriously.

Health is approached here as an interaction between the body, emotional patterns, belief systems, and awareness itself. They examine how modalities like acupuncture, hands-off energy healing, and biofield-based practices point toward the same underlying principle: coherence matters.

Join us tonight at 7pm ET for the premiere of episode 217: The Lies We've Been Told About Water & Hydration with Erin Sojourner & Gina Bria

If you think you know everything about water and how hydration works, think again.

Contrary to popular belief, hydration isn’t about how much you drink… It’s about how water functions inside the body. Most people focus on intake while missing the form water needs to support energy, clarity, and resilience at the cellular level. That’s why many feel foggy or depleted despite constantly drinking. Liquid water alone doesn’t create hydration. Ancestral cultures understood this long before measuring ounces. Desert peoples stayed hydrated well before modern plumbing existed.

In this episode, Alec talks with Erin Sojourner, CSO at Spring Aqua, and Gina Bria, an anthropologist and founder of the Hydration Foundation.
