Shawn Ryan. I don't endorse every claim from @leahfiles, but when someone shares their experience, I'll listen. And I think this one is worth a share. After 12 years as an investigative TV journalist, you develop a finely-tuned radar for manufactured narratives. My alarm bells have long gone off when it comes to him. I didn’t pay much attention to Shawn until the Brian Harpole interview, but the “5D chess” excuse never held up. Harpole made several questionable claims on air, and Shawn offered zero pushback -- just “Wow,” “Really?”, “No shit.” You don't build an audience of millions that quickly on passive reactions. And if you're to be taken seriously, you don't give your guest a gift (especially on-cam in your segment, it's weird & inappropriate.) The Candace Owens interview was just as telling. Shawn acted completely unfamiliar with core details of the Kirk case. Even anecdotes directly tied to his own conversation with Harpole seemed like news to him. Whether that’s genuine ignorance or an act, neither is a great look for an interviewer with his platform and background as a former CIA contractor. Before all that, I noticed how he treated @DanCrenshawTX : airing unvetted attacks, then refusing to bring him on to respond. To me, that looked coordinated to target Dan during his primary after he clashed with Trump. We're in the midst of a "new media" revolution. But please look closer at the modern podcast circuit. Trace the guest rotation between Shawn, Tucker, Candace, Gary, and beyond -- you'll find some common threads. What do they cover and what friends in hot water do they conveniently ignore? As a podcaster and former mainstream journalist, I sincerely believe there is legitimate value in independent media. But a lot of what’s labeled “citizen journalism” is just access-driven narrative control in disguise. Don't forget: A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down. nitter.siddz.com/leahfiles/status/21120…
Part 2, and my last post about my Shawn Ryan Show episode. Last I heard, it had been edited. Then Shawn went on Diary of a CEO and described a woman whose interview he’d never release. That woman wasn’t me, unless he was lying. But I never expected it to air, and here’s why: I spent weeks prepping with Shawn’s team. I was booked to follow the money on TPUSA and the surveillance state, and naming names is what I do. I’m meticulous, and I never say anything I can’t prove. Then, right before we started filming, I was told I couldn’t name names. When I brought up who funds Flock Safety, the license plate cameras now in thousands of American towns, I was told not to say Andreessen Horowitz or Peter Thiel. You can’t follow the money without showing where the money flows. That’s when I realized this episode would never air, before we had even started. So when I got home, I did what I do. I followed the money. And, turns out Shawn Ryan is invested in companies backed by the exact people I was told not to name, plus Israel. (1) Anduril Industries: Ryan has been an investor since October 2025. Anduril started with surveillance towers and now builds drones and autonomous weapons. Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund led its June 2025 round, and Andreessen Horowitz co-led its $5 billion round in May 2026. Those are the two names I was told to leave out. In February 2026, Anduril’s founder, Palmer Luckey, made an undisclosed trip to Israel and met with Netanyahu and senior defense officials. By June, Anduril was setting up an Israel operation to sell to Israel’s Ministry of Defense. Shawn had Palmer on his show in February 2025 and invested eight months later. (2) Shield AI: Ryan has been an investor since November 2025. It builds AI-piloted drones and fighter jets. Andreessen Horowitz led its first major round and has kept investing ever since. Shawn had its co-founder on the show the same season he invested. (3) Sesh: Ryan has been an investor since August 2025. Its $40 million round was led by 8VC, the venture firm of Joe Lonsdale, who co-founded Palantir with Peter Thiel. Lonsdale was a guest on Shawn’s show on May 7, 2026, less than three months before I taped. Palantir signed a strategic partnership with Israel’s Ministry of Defense in 2024. And Flock Safety, the company I came to talk about, is backed by Andreessen Horowitz, which led two of its rounds, and by Founders Fund, Peter Thiel’s fund. So I was booked to expose who funds the surveillance state. I was told not to name Andreessen Horowitz or Peter Thiel. And the host has money in companies backed by Andreessen Horowitz, by Thiel’s fund, and by Thiel’s Palantir co-founder, including one that is building its business in Israel. Then there’s the rest of it. Sarah Adams, his former network host, was messaging his team to keep me off (see Part 1 if you missed it). An IDF settlement contractor tagged the two of them together. Pro-Israel groups passed around her clip from his show as proof that Israel didn’t drive the war. And after his Diary of a CEO interview, accounts from the same network that spent the summer smearing me told everyone his “CIA woman” was me, citing “sources.” It wasn’t me. I never discussed a polygraph with Shawn Ryan, and it was never why I went on. So either he was talking about someone else, or somebody turned his story into a weapon against me. Honestly, I don’t want the episode to air, and I told them so right after we taped, because it was a watered-down version of my work. How it all happened was a tough lesson learned for me in this industry. Now you know what was going on behind the scenes. If this episode doesn’t air, I can assure you it’s not because I’m a fraud. It’s because I won’t water down who funds the surveillance state, and I won’t sell out to protect anyone’s investments. So there you have it.

Billionaires are not vaccinating their own children. People who have less money than that should stop and think about the high costs of supporting a special needs child & adult for life, before subjecting them to the atrocity of injected neurotoxins.
“I have several billionaires in my practice. Not a single one of them has ever vaccinated their kids.” - Pediatrician, Dr. Brian Thornburg

Watching the recent Kennedy video is heartbreaking. I have an autistic son. I’m a paramedic who’s seen ungodly amounts of damage from vaccines. Kennedy knows appropriate testing was never done. He knows the harm. He even knows the autism link. Yet here he is playing politics and giving Fauci cover on measles. No. This makes me sick. I like you Kennedy, I always have. But this is bullshit! God bless

It's time to yank legal immunity from the vaccine industry, criminally indict Big Pharma's corrupt executives, and imprison those who have medically maimed children and adults while deliberately burying the evidence.

Since I first posted this meme a month ago, the Houthis have joined with the IRGC in influencing Fed monetary policy decisions. Don't be surprised when ships, airports, etc. go *boom* at an increased rate ahead of Fed meetings.

Let me see if I’m following… Inflation rises → Fed hikes → deficits widen → Treasury issuance floods the market → long-term yields and mortgage rates rise → housing stalls → corporate capital costs climb → commodity supply remains constrained → equities at record valuations come under pressure. Looks sustainable, boys… Sitting tight here. None of us own enough assets.

When it's proven who actually killed Charlie Kirk the death penalty better still be in play. Everyone involved should get the death penalty. Don't call for the execution of someone that didn't pull the trigger and give special treatment when it's proven that a lot of rich political celebrities were the actual assassins.

If you haven’t figured out who killed Charlie Kirk and why yet, you’re not gonna make it.

‼️Charlie Kirk’s Audio Engineer Says Charlie Was Kept In A BUBBLE — Something Tyler Bowyer Had ALREADY Echoed In A Previous Interview.😱 Jeff Tretta worked Charlie Kirk’s sound for years, and he did not describe a man who ran Turning Point. He described a man who was kept out of it. You did not walk up to Charlie. Food was brought to him. The questions at the events were screened. The news that reached him was chosen by other people. Tretta said donors called in and told the room what Charlie needed to go live about, and what the position had to be. That is the same picture Tyler Bowyer has given. Charlie was kept in a bubble so he would not meddle in the daily running of the organization. Tretta put a name-shaped hole on the money. He said one woman on the Turning Point site brings in more than $80 million a year and holds real power because of the donors attached to her. That description fits Stacey Sheridan, who has been at Erika Kirk’s side at the major events. He also said that in four years he never saw the laughing, singing Charlie from the old videos. Toward the end, Charlie wanted the microphone all day and all night. Trettaa read that as a man who had finally gotten big enough to want his own say. Erika Kirk has already told the story of cutting the internet at home and Charlie asking how he was supposed to work. A brand built on “this is what I believe” does not survive a room that hands him the belief before he sits down. The last year is the year he tried to step out of that room. The people who curated the brief, booked the donors, and held the door are the map. Stacey Sheridan is the first name on it. ⚠️ Now more than ever we rely on the support of our community to keep the Charlie Kirk investigation alive.

All those years of "lock her up." Of, "because you'd be in jail." Of promising to drain the swamp. And Trump says today he never followed through with the promises to go after Obama, Biden or Hillary out of "loyalty" and "respect." What about loyalty and respect to the people who PUT YOU IN OFFICE, motherfucker? His ENTIRE FUCKING CAMPAIGN was nothing but a LIE.
