Dr. Steve R. Pieczenik — the character of Jack Ryan, who appears in many Tom Clancy novels and
was also played by Harrison Ford in the popular 1992 movie Patriot Games, is based on Steve Pieczenik
— served as Deputy Assistant Secretary of State under three different administrations (Nixon, Ford and Carter), while
also working under Reagan and Bush senior, and still works as a
consultant for the Department of Defense. A former US Navy Captain, Dr.
Pieczenik achieved two prestigious Harry C. Solomon Awards at the
Harvard Medical School as he simultaneously completed a Ph.D. at MIT.
Recruited by Lawrence Eagleburger as Deputy Assistant Secretary of State
for Management, Dr. Pieczenik went on to develop “the basic tenets for
psychological warfare, counter terrorism, strategy and tactics for
transcultural negotiations for the US State Department, military and
intelligence communities and other agencies of the US Government,” while
also developing foundational strategies for hostage rescue that were
later employed around the world.
Dr. Pieczenik also served as a senior policy planner under Secretaries
Henry Kissinger, Cyrus Vance, George Schultz and James Baker and worked
on George W. Bush’s election campaign against Al Gore.
The character of Jack Ryan, who appears in many Tom Clancy novels and
was also played by Harrison Ford in the popular 1992 movie Patriot
Games, is based on Steve Pieczenik.
Dr. Pieczenik says that Osama Bin Laden died in 2001.
He said in April, 2002 that Bin Laden had already been “dead for
months,” and that the government was waiting for the most politically
expedient time to roll out his corpse. Dr. Pieczenik met Bin Laden and
worked with him during the proxy war against the Soviets in Afghanistan
in the early 1980?s.
Dr. Pieczenik said that Osama Bin Laden died in 2001, “Not because
Special Forces had killed him, but because as a physician I had known
that the CIA physicians had treated him and it was on the intelligence
roster that he had marfan syndrome,” adding that the US government knew
Bin Laden was dead before they invaded Afghanistan.
Marfan syndrome is a degenerative genetic disease for which there is no
permanent cure. The illness severely shortens the life span of the
sufferer.
“He died of marfan syndrome, Bush junior knew about it, the intelligence
community knew about it,” said Pieczenik, noting that CIA physicians had
visited Bin Laden in July 2001 at the American Hospital in Dubai.
“He was already very sick from marfan syndrome and he was already dying,
so nobody had to kill him,” added Pieczenik, stating that Bin Laden died
shortly after 9/11 in his Tora Bora cave complex.
“Did the intelligence community or the CIA doctor up this situation?
The answer is yes, categorically yes,” said Dr. Pieczenik, referring to
Sunday’s claim that Bin Laden was killed at his compound in Pakistan,
adding, “This whole scenario where you see a bunch of people sitting
there looking at a screen and they look as if they’re intense, that’s
nonsense,” referring to the images released by the White House which
claim to show Biden, Obama and Hillary Clinton watching the operation to
kill Bin Laden live on a television screen.
“It’s a total make-up, make believe, we’re in an American theater of the
absurd….why are we doing this again….nine years ago this man was already
dead….why does the government repeatedly have to lie to the American
people?” asked Dr. Pieczenik.
“Osama Bin Laden was dead, so there’s no way they could have attacked or
confronted or killed Osama Bin laden,” said Dr. Pieczenik, joking that
the only way it could have happened was if special forces had attacked a
mortuary.
Dr. Pieczenik said that the decision to launch the hoax now was made
because Obama had reached a low with plummeting approval ratings.
“He had to prove that he was more than American….he had to be
aggressive,” said Pieczenik, adding that the farce was also a way of
isolating Pakistan as a retaliation for intense opposition to the
Predator drone program, which has killed hundreds of Pakistanis.
“This is orchestrated, I mean when you have people sitting around and
watching a sitcom, basically the operations center of the White House,
and you have a president coming out almost zombie-like telling you they
just killed Osama Bin Laden who was already dead nine years ago,” said
Pieczenik, calling the episode, “the greatest falsehood I’ve ever heard,
I mean it was absurd.”
Dismissing the government’s account of the assassination of Bin Laden as
a “sick joke” on the American people, Pieczenik said, “They are so
desperate to make Obama viable, any irregularities about his background,
to make him look assertive….to re-elect this president so the American
public can be duped once again.”
Pieczenik’s assertion that Bin Laden died almost ten years ago is echoed
by numerous intelligence professionals as well as heads of state across
the world.
