CIA Whistleblower Senate Testimony on COVID Lab Leak | Record El Niño 2026 Forecast | The Ryan Files

In this week’s episode of The Ryan Files, we cover two major developing stories that will shape 2026 and beyond.First, the strongest El Niño on record is rapidly building in the Pacific right now (June 2026). NOAA currently gives it a 96% probability of peaking between 3.5–4.3°C above normal by late 2026 — potentially surpassing the 1997–98 event. We break down the forecast, the multi-trillion-dollar economic risks, the massive impact of data centers and AI on global energy demand, upcoming policy responses in Congress and state governments, and practical preparedness steps for food, water, energy, and finances.Then, a CIA senior operations officer with over 20 years of service, James Erdman III, testifies under subpoena before the Senate Homeland Security Committee on the COVID-19 origins cover-up. He reveals internal CIA analysis that pointed to a lab leak on all five scientific pillars, pressure to change the official conclusion, conflicts of interest involving Dr. Anthony Fauci, deleted emails, and the recent federal indictment of Fauci’s top advisor at NIH.All details are sourced directly from Senate testimony, Department of Justice criminal filings, FOIA emails, and official government reports — no speculation, just the public record.What you’ll hear in this episode:• Why this El Niño could be significantly worse than the last major event• The fastest-growing source of energy demand on the planet right now• Real legislative moves already underway ahead of the crisis• Practical steps regular people can take to prepare• The documented timeline of the COVID origins debate inside the CIA and NIH• What Fauci’s preemptive pardon actually meansPrimary sources and links are available in the show notes.If you want straight talk on the stories that matter — without the spin — this is the episode for you.Drop your biggest takeaway in the comments or send us a voice message.The Ryan Files drops every Tuesday and Friday at 7 PM Central.✅ Subscribe, rate, and review on Spotify or Apple Podcasts — it helps the show reach more people.#ElNino2026 #COVIDOrigins #CIATestimony #LabLeak #SenateHearing #RyanFiles

Weather Manipulation: Real Patents, HAARP & Government Weather Control | The Ryan Files

Marjorie Taylor Greene claims the federal government is controlling the weather — and gets dismissed as ridiculous. But what do the patents, declassified programs, and military research actually reveal?In this episode of The Ryan Files, Ryan examines the documented history of weather modification. From Project Cirrus and Operation Popeye to cloud seeding operations in China, Russia, and the UAE — these technologies are very real.We explore U.S. patents for hurricane and tornado control devices, sound-based wind generation, and the infamous HAARP facility. Plus, the 1996 U.S. Air Force study “Weather as a Force Multiplier: Owning the Weather in 2025.”Ryan separates established facts from speculation and asks the bigger question: if weather control technology exists, why the outright denial?Real patents. Real programs. Real power. They don’t want you to know about it.The Ryan Files — questioning everything.

Paul Stobbs joins The Ryan Files to reveal his groundbreaking “Nephilim Looked Like Clowns” theory.

AI Apocalypse Warnings, Billionaire Bunkers & The US Surveillance Grid | Ryan Files Weekly Briefing

Ryan delivers a hard-hitting weekly briefing connecting the dots on the stories that matter most right now.He breaks down China’s dystopian 700-million-camera AI surveillance state — complete with predictive policing, facial recognition, and searchable video that instantly generates suspects — and shows how America is quietly building its own version through DHS funding, airport biometrics, touchless ID, and “convenience” technology. Ryan then plays a powerful 10-minute compilation featuring stark warnings from AI pioneers (Geoffrey Hinton, Sam Altman, and others) about extinction-level risks, loss of control, and humans potentially becoming “pets” to a new digital species.

Plus: the $21 trillion in missing money tied to underground bases, Denver International Airport’s mysterious tunnels being repurposed, Bill Gates’ massive land holdings nearby, the latest on a potential super El Niño, and why elite preparations make “prepping” look a lot less crazy. Eye-opening, urgent, and highly relevant.🔔 Upcoming Episodes:• Tuesday 7PM CT: Paul Stobbs – “The Nephilim Looked Like Clowns”• Friday 7PM CT: “Weather Control is Real” (re-air) Drop your thoughts below 👇 What concerns you more — the AI risks or the billionaire bunker race? #TheRyanFiles #AISurveillance #BillionaireBunkers #UndergroundBases Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtube.com/live/upBZwSZ-7sY
