About this listen

 Divergent Files is not a conspiracy podcast. It’s a forensic investigation into the stories we’re told not to question.

We don’t follow prepackaged narratives from governments, academia, or corporate media. We don’t accept consensus because it’s convenient. We dissect the noise, challenge the assumptions, and surface what remains — using real documents, declassified material, and evidence most outlets won’t touch.

Hosted by Ralph, Divergent Files blends grounded skepticism with cinematic storytelling, where mythology collides with physics and curiosity is treated as a tool — not a threat. Every episode follows the evidence with an open mind, skeptical of cookie-cutter explanations and anchored in receipts, context, and uncomfortable contradictions.

From suppressed history and lost science to black-budget programs, intelligence operations, and reality-bending anomalies, the truth comes first — not institutions, not ideology, not optics.

This isn’t content.
It’s a challenge to the narrative.

  • The Spy War That Won America: The Culper Ring and the Birth of Information Warfare

    The Spy War That Won America: The Culper Ring and the Birth of Information Warfare
    Dec 24 2025
    Most people think the American Revolution was won with muskets, flags, and battlefield heroics.

    It wasn’t.

    It was won quietly. In kitchens, taverns, churches, and clotheslines. By civilians living under British occupation who became America’s first intelligence network.

    In this episode, we uncover the real Culper Ring, the covert spy operation personally overseen by George Washington, and why the true story is far more unsettling than any television adaptation. This is not historical fiction. It’s a receipt-backed investigation built from letters, archives, and declassified intelligence history.

    We break down how invisible ink, coded correspondence, dead drops, and laundry signals rewrote the war, why the mysterious Agent 355 remains one of the most erased figures in American history, and how Benjamin Franklin pioneered early psychological warfare and disinformation campaigns against the British crown.

    We also separate verified history from dramatized narratives, revealing that many of the most unbelievable details are the ones historians can actually prove.

    But this episode goes further.

    It asks the uncomfortable question history textbooks avoid: what if America’s first real victory wasn’t independence, but control of belief?

    By tracing the lineage from the Culper Ring through the OSS, the CIA, COINTELPRO, and modern information warfare, this investigation shows how secrecy, narrative control, and psychological operations didn’t end with the Revolution. They evolved.

    This isn’t a reenactment.
    It isn’t romantic espionage.
    It’s the blueprint.

    Sources referenced include George Washington’s correspondence, Benjamin Tallmadge’s papers, Library of Congress archives, and the CIA’s own historical studies on the Culper Ring.

    If you’re here for surface-level history, this won’t be comfortable.
    If you’re here for truth — welcome.

  • What If Egypt Didn’t Build the Pyramids?

    What If Egypt Didn’t Build the Pyramids?
    Dec 20 2025
    For over a century, we’ve been told the story of the Great Pyramids like it’s settled history. Dynasties, dates, labor ramps, copper tools — case closed.

    But what if that story only explains who inherited the pyramids… not who built them?

    In this episode of Divergent Files, we take a grounded, evidence-first look at the growing body of archaeological, geological, and historical anomalies surrounding the pyramids of Giza — including erosion patterns, construction precision, missing records, and timelines that don’t quite line up.

    This isn’t a claim. It’s a question.

    A careful examination of what we know, what we assume, and what might have been quietly skipped over as modern Egypt rose atop something far older.

    No aliens. No fantasy. No certainty.
    Just uncomfortable data, serious researchers, and a mystery that refuses to stay buried.

  • What If This Life Is Only A Simulation?

    What If This Life Is Only A Simulation?
    Dec 17 2025
    What if reality isn’t behaving the way we think it is?

    In this episode of Divergent Files, we explore a question that’s moved far beyond science fiction and into serious scientific, philosophical, and government research: the possibility that reality itself may be simulated — or at least not as fundamental as it feels.

    We examine the Simulation Hypothesis, quantum physics experiments where observation changes outcomes, declassified government research into consciousness, and the strange patterns that show up in memory, perception, and near-death experiences. From the Mandela Effect and déjà vu to theories of consciousness as information, the evidence paints a picture that’s unsettling, fascinating, and deeply human.

    This isn’t about convincing you of one explanation. It’s about slowing down, laying out what’s known, what’s theorized, and what’s often misunderstood — and asking better questions about the nature of reality and our place within it.

    If you’ve ever felt like something about the world doesn’t quite add up…
    If you’ve ever wondered whether consciousness is more than biology…
    Or if you’re simply curious why so many credible thinkers are questioning base reality…

    This conversation is for you.

    Listen with an open mind. Skepticism is welcome here.
