ControversiesEdit
In 1992, Pieczenik told
Newsday that in his professional opinion, President Bush[
clarification needed] was "clinically depressed". As a result, he was brought up on an ethics charge before the
American Psychiatric Association and reprimanded. He subsequently quit the APA.
[4]
He calls himself a "maverick troublemaker. You make your own rules. You pay the consequences."
[4]
The role he played in the negotiations to bring about the release of
Aldo Moro, an Italian politician kidnapped by the
Red Brigades, is fraught with controversy.[

On May 3, 2011, radio host
Alex Jones aired an interview in which Pieczenik claimed that
Osama bin Laden had died of
Marfan syndrome in 2001 shortly after the
September 11 attacks, and that the attacks on the United States on
9/11 were part of a
false flag operation by entities within the American government, the Israeli leadership and
Mossad.

On October 20, 2011 in an interview with Alex Jones, Pieczenik claimed that Libyan leader
Muammar Gaddafi was alive, and said, "There’s no way they killed Muammar Gaddafi, that’s not our operating mode and I’ve been involved in 30 years with the takeouts and regime changes." He also criticised President
Barack Obama, calling him an "obsessional pathological liar".
