DR STEVE PIECZENIK is a critically acclaimed author of psycho-political thrillers and the co-creator of the New York Times best-selling "Tom Clancy's Op-Center" and "Tom Clancy's Net Force" book series. He is also one of the world's most experienced international crisis managers and hostage negotiators. His novels are based on his twenty years experience in resolving international crises for five U.S. administrations.

Dr. Pieczenik received his B.A. from Cornell University,trained in Psychiatry at Harvard and has both an M.D. from Cornell University Medical College and a Ph.D. in International Relations from M.I.T.

He was the first psychiatrist ever to receive a PhD. focusing on international relations, and is the only psychiatrist to ever have served as a Deputy Assistant Secretary of State. He served four presidents as Deputy Assistant Secretary of State under Nixon, Ford, Carter, and Bush Sr. and was a Senior Policy Planner under president Reagan. Dr. Pieczenik worked directly with, and reported directly to, Secretaries of State Henry Kissinger, Cyrus Vance, George Schultz and James Baker, as well as the respective White Houses. Dr. Pieczenik was drafted into the Vietnam War. He was assigned in the Public Health Services with the rank of Navy Captain (0-6) to run three psychiatric wards at St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Washington, D.C., including a ward where serial killers were housed. He was subsequently offered a promotion to Rear Admiral (0-7), which he refused on the grounds that he felt honored enough to serve his country, did not want to take a pension and wished to return to civilian life to follow his passions as a physician, entrepreneur and novelist.

Dr. Pieczenik is an expert in psychological warfare, political psychology, regime change, intelligence, counterintelligence and covert operations. During his career as a senior State Department official, Dr. Pieczenik utilized his unique abilities and expertise to develop strategies and tactics that were instrumental in resolving major conflicts in Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, Europe and the United States.

Dr. Pieczenik was the principal International Crisis Manager and Hostage Negotiator under Secretaries Kissinger and Vance. During this time he developed conflict resolution techniques that were instrumental in saving over five hundred hostages in different terrorist episodes, including the Hanafi Muslim Siege in Washington, DC, the TWA Croatian Hijacking, the Aldo Moro Kidnapping, the JRA Hijacking, the PLO Hijacking, and many other incidents involving terrorists such as Idi Amin, Muammar Quaddafi, Carlos, FARC, Abu Nidal and Saddam Hussein. Based on these experiences, Dr. Pieczenik, along with other senior officials at the State Department developed the mandate to create Delta Force and other quick-strike special forces units that could be used in future hostage situations and international crises. Dr. Pieczenik resigned over President Carter's handling of the Iran Hostage siege. He was recruited by Dr. Richard Solomon to the RAND Corporation in Santa Monica, CA to develop the strategy and tactics using the principles of psychological warfare to dismantle the Soviet Union without the use of military force.

He was subsequently recruited into the Reagan Policy Planning Staff at the State Department. While at the State Department, Dr. Pieczenik was tasked with creating and implementing regime change in Panama to overthrow General Manuel Noriega. As a result, General Noriega repeatedly accused Dr. Pieczenik in the Panamanian newspaper, La Critica, of being an "assassin" and neutralizing several of Noriega's associates. This is a charge Dr. Pieczenik neither confirms nor denies.

Dr. Pieczenik helped develop negotiation strategies for major U.S.- Soviet arms control summits under the Reagan administration. He was also involved in advising senior officials on important psycho-political dynamics and conflict mediation strategies for President Carter's successful Camp David Peace Conference. In 1991, Dr. Pieczenik was a chief architect of the Cambodian Peace Conference in Paris.

He has worked with Dr. Richard Solomon to develop the theoretical basis for the Chinese Negotiating Behavioral Strategy, a classic in transcultural negotiations.

Dr. Pieczenik continues to volunteer his time and expertise as a consultant to the Department of Defense. He does not accept any remuneration for his services. He felt honored to work for his country that adopted him as a refugee and saved his family from extermination in the Holocaust. He has made it his life-long commitment to work to protect and preserve America’s liberties and freedoms, even when it meant going against the president of the United States and the very organizations with which he was working. To this day he still strongly believes in the integrity of the Office of the Presidency and the Republic, both of which must be bereft of corruption, deception, betrayal, collusion and crony capitalism by any and all parties, including financial, political, medical, pharmaceutical and academic special interests. His basic belief is that no one person is indispensable to the viability of State.

Dr. Pieczenik has started several successful companies, employing his methodologies in various industries, including investment banking, publishing, television/film and medicine. He has been directly involved as an Angel Investor with starting twenty-eight companies.

REGARDING SANDY HOOK MASSACRE

After only filing Connecticut Freedom Of Information requests about the alleged Sandy Hook ‘massacre’, School Safety expert Wolfgang W. Halbig was visited by homicide detectives warning him that if he keeps making inquiries he would suffer the legal consequences.

Halbig also discovered that the report on the Sandy Hook event was the first school shooting in US history to be sealed as ‘Classified’, held by the FBI.

Halbig believes the Sandy Hook school shooting was a giant, elaborate hoax and no one really died.

For Halbig, there are unanswered questions, lots of them.

For instance, why in the immediate aftermath of the shooting were no medical helicopters summoned?

“Think about it: you have 20 children, 6 staff members who were supposed to have been shot. They’re seriously injured. Where’s the trauma helicopters? Those are the quickest and the best medical services that any child or any school staff member can receive, and no trauma helicopters were ever requested?”

Halbig also called Life Star emergency services, who confirmed they were never summoned that morning. “[T]hey said, ‘Mr. Halbig we were never requested on that morning. We were shocked and surprised, we were ready, we thought we were going to go to Sandy Hook.’ They had helicopters ready to go, but they were never asked.. Here’s my premise.. there wasn’t anybody there to be treated.”

Halbig also questions why EMT and firefighters, who were mere minutes away from the scene, were prevented from entering the school and possibly saving lives, and additionally, he wants to know how, within the first 11 minutes, America was already presented with a death toll.

“Who declared all those 26 people dead within the first 11 minutes? Connecticut law states that only a doctor can declare them dead, legally dead.”

Moreover, Halbig says the FBI’s classification of the school shooting report is something he’s never witnessed in his entire career. “I can tell you [out of] all the shootings, never has an FBI agency ever classified an investigative report on a school shooting.”

More Unanswered Questions...

There are also a whole host of peculiarities Halbig is still baffled by.

For example, why was Sandy Hook elementary torn down? Even in the Columbine tragedy, whose crime scene Halbig assisted with and in which he testified as a key witness, the school was cleaned up, but was never torn down.

According to Halbig, no one could tell him which environmental company cleaned up the bloody mess, or who installed the school’s security system, all things his job would require him to know.

He has other pressing questions, such as:

Why was there a registered nurse found in the building four hours after the shooting?

Why was there a sign flashing “Everyone must sign in?”

Why were there port-a-potties on site within three hours?

Why were children turned around by officers and sent back into rooms supposedly littered with dead bodies?

How did someone with Asperger’s have the physical coordination to carry the large amount of munitions Adam Lanza supposedly carried?

Why did no parents file a lawsuit against the school, when in every other school shooting suits have been filed?

And ultimately, why would the state threaten Halbig?

Brad began his spiritual journey in August of 2008. With the idea of creating a fascinating science fiction novel  that was based around the presence of extraterrestrials and what would happen if they came upon Earth today, Brad wanted this novel to be very authentic and truthful when it came to this theme of story, so he began to do some intense research on experts, contactees and channelers to hear their viewpoints on life beyond our world. Brad's research on the extraterrestrial presence revealed some very extraordinary findings: many ETs are human in appearance, they are highly spiritual and base their existences on becoming one with an infinite creator. He also discovered that through meditation, many people are able to communicate with these beings beyond our world and receive profound galactic/universal insight.

This research was astonishing to Brad and he could feel an immense transformation beginning. These discoveries caused him to begin a personal journey that started with simple meditation. Brad decided to put his novel aside and devote his focus towards a pursuit that had been lacking throughout his entire life: re-gaining his spiritual connection to all things.

Brad began meditation by taking out a book from his local library called "Learn To Meditate: A Practical Guide to Self Discovery and Fulfillment". Brad read this book from front to back within about 5 days. He performed many of the methods contained within the book and for the first time in his life, he began his journey into meditation. Brad's discoveries through the meditative state were astounding. He could feel his entire body reacting to the centeredness of meditation. He could feel his energy field tingling, growing, expanding, spinning, tilting as well as feel every part of his body becoming enriched with divine universal energy.

Through his dream state, Brad was experiencing profound encounters with higher dimensional entities that were completely without any known form. He encountered what could only be explained as "non-physical classrooms" where he was being downloaded with astonishing information ranging from a variety of different topics: from the properties of oneness and universal mechanics to the understanding of self empowerment and the creation of all life. Brad had awoken with inspiration filling his being as everything relating to the expansion of humanity and reality that was not being commonly discussed throughout popular mainstream sources.

It was through these profound discoveries that Brad decided to create an online community that comprised of psychics, intuitives, healers and metaphysical experts/seekers. Throughout this community, Brad was able to get further involved through his exploration of expanded consciousness and began to learn through many others' techniques ranging from channeling, extra sensory perception development and energy healing. Throughout the weeks that went by, Brad was developing his skill through the process of automatic writing: the ability to communicate with an extension of one's own consciousness through the mediumship of writing or drawing. 

Throughout many of Brad's conscious contacts with other consciousnesses via automatic writing, Brad received advice from one of his channelingmentors to direct his energy towards the star known as Sirius A, otherwise known commonly as the dog star as there was a feeling of a message that was looking to come through. Brad tuned into the energies of Sirius A and this was the first contact he had with an entity known as Adronis.Adronis began his association with Brad under the means of a soul contract. This entailed that this other consciousness extension of Brad residing from the fifth density plane of Sirius would act as a mentor for him as he worked to expand himself further through his channeling ability.

Throughout the months ahead, Brad was able to channel Adronis further not only as a benefit to his own learning, but for the benefit of others asAdronis was willing to share his profound knowledge and inspiration with anyone who would be in resonance for contact. In the summer of 2009, Brad transcended his ability to channel from automatic writing into vocal dialogue channeling. Brad found this method to be much more convenient as it formed a personalized relationship between him, Adronis and others that were in resonance with Adronis' energies.

Between the years of 2009 and 2010, Brad was also expanding his knowledge in many different avenues alongside his ability to channel. In 2010, Brad founded his very own energy healing system known as Symbol Release Healing. Brad was also fascinated relating to methods that allowed him to connect directly to the akashic records. The process was somewhat similar to the nature of channeling, and within a short period of time, Brad became very proficient at accessing energetic data from the realms of the ether within an Alpha brainwave state.

Throughout the upcoming years, Brad was offered to join several seminars and conferences along the west coast of North America: from his local area of Vancouver, BC, Canada to Seattle, Washington, Portland, Oregon and many regions across the state of California. Throughout the span of December of 2009 to the approaching end of 2012, Adronis has shared a vast degree of knowledge and wisdom through Brad regarding a broad range of subject matter: personal and professional transformation, self empowerment, personal healing, history of mankind, our Earth, galaxy and universe, ET contact and disclosure, the power of paradox, evolution past polarity & much more.

Throughout Brad's ability to strengthen his connection as a conduit functioning as an ally of universal knowledge, Brad had reached the point where he is able to consciously connect to his own soul matrix and retrieve specific subject matter. This ability has been termed by Brad as a "Conscious Matrix Communicator." 

In December of 2012, Brad introduced his newest energy healing concept that was developed through his connection of Conscious Matrix Communication. This newest healing system is known as Body Regeneration Healing: the ability to work through one's soul matrix utilizing holograms and one's own natural intuitive state to repair the body and purify the flow of energy through the means of "4D healing".

Brad has mentioned on many occasions that there is really nothing special about what he does. It is an ability that everyone has access to. Whether one wishes to become a channeler or a conscious matrix communicator, it's all within our grasp. All it requires is the commitment to live all elements of what such a lifestyle represents. We are all gifted in our own ways and will express our gifts in the themes that best suit us. Brad's job has always been to awaken, inspire and expand, and this is what he aims for with dedication through every person he interacts with.
