About Dr. Pieczenik:
A Harvard-trained psychiatrist with an M.D. from Cornell and a Ph.D. in International Relations from MIT, he began his career as a Captain in the United States Public Health Service, where he managed psychiatric wards at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital. He transitioned into the political arena in 1974 as a consultant for the State Department’s Office for the Prevention of Terrorism before rising to the rank of Deputy Assistant Secretary of State. In this capacity, he served across the Ford, Carter, Reagan, and George H.W. Bush administrations as a principal international crisis manager and hostage negotiator, famously contributing to the resolution of the Hanafi Siege and participating in the search for Aldo Moro. Following his resignation in 1979 over the handling of the Iran Hostage Crisis, he expanded into the private sector as the CEO of Strategic Intelligence Associates and a consultant for the RAND Corporation. He later achieved significant public recognition as the co-creator of the Tom Clancy’s Op-Center and Net Force book series, while also venturing into the wellness industry as a co-founder of NBI Health.
He is characterized as a “conspiracy theorist” by Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Pieczenik
Summary of this historical video:
- Dr. Pieczenik claims that on November 1, 2016, Hillary and Bill Clinton along with their entourage carried out a civilian coup—unlike traditional military coups seen in movies that seize the White House and communication centers. This one was silent and effective, achieved through corruption and co-optation.
- He accuses the Clintons of long-term co-opting key institutions: the White House, Judiciary, CIA, FBI, Attorney General Loretta Lynch, and FBI Director James Comey. They allegedly formed an interconnected group bound by political cronyism.
- To counter this, he says members of the intelligence community (“int community”) and others informally united and—with their permission—he is announcing a counter-coup conducted through Julian Assange and WikiLeaks.
- He explains that FBI Director Comey reopening the Hillary Clinton email investigation (tied to the Anthony Weiner case) was less important for the case itself than as an opportunity for counter-coup participants to signal to the administration: “We have your number.” Their goals were to prevent Hillary from becoming president, and to pursue convictions and indictments against President Obama, Loretta Lynch, and others involved in covering up massive corruption linked to the Clinton Foundation.
- Both the alleged original coup and the counter-coup were silent and played out entirely on the internet—making this possibly the first time in history that a coup and a counter-coup occurred via the internet.
- The speaker describes himself as a small part of a much larger effort. The real force behind it, he says, consists of brave personnel across the FBI, CIA, Directorate of Intelligence, military intelligence, and 15 other intelligence organizations. These individuals were fed up with corruption in the White House, Justice Department, and intelligence community, so they acted to save the Republic by feeding necessary emails to Julian Assange (praised as brave and formidable) to undermine Hillary and Bill Clinton.
- He frames the broader situation as America undergoing a major transition, even a second American Revolution—but a peaceful one without guns, weapons, killing, or harm. He and other veterans/intelligence service members (including the public) intend to block the Clintons from undeserved power and ensure Obama exits without pardons or acts of treason, allowing a peaceful transition in the Republic.
- He presents this as historic news unfolding right now, and expresses pride in explaining it.
