Only cited as a source for conspiracy claims about a counter-coup, and one commenter flagged it as a precursor to QAnon narratives.
A short video by Steve Pieczenik claiming the Clintons are carrying out a coup d'etat to take over the United States. It is political conspiracy commentary from the 2016 election period.

"I must once again challenge readers of Hacker News to consider the possibility that the popular news feeds do not provide an accurate view of the global political situation. This is because information control is a critical aspect of warfare, and that comes in the form of propaganda. And, whether you believe it or not, the United States maintains its position in the world through deadly force that requires projection. This projection comes in the form of extensive, connected military campaigns that have been ongoing for decades. This warfare makes it important to shape information around it -- hence American propaganda." Yep. And let's not forget Steve Piecnizk "The counter coup saying, we will convict and indite the president of the united states" ... "we are going to stop you from making hilary the president of the united states" this guy was Psychological Warfare !!!!! for US State Department [link] [this video]
Cites Pieczenik's claims about a counter coup as supporting evidence.
Good to see this voice among the masses who have a memory long enough to understand the big picture. I think Assange will be taken care of when all is said and done. This is from 2016, Dr. Steve Pieczenik explains it all -- Assange was part of a 'counter-coup' from within the US Government to take down the Clinton cabal. [this video]
Cites Pieczenik as explaining Assange as part of a counter-coup.
You may need to catch up on the news a bit, Steve Pieczenik of the U.S. State Department (common cover for CIA) admitted that he killed Aldo Moro to prevent him from divulging state secrets. [link] I would imagine some of those secrets may have had to do with other incidents where the Red Brigade and other left wing groups were framed in false flag incidents as part of the Gladio strategy of tension. It's maybe noteworthy that the same Steve Pieczenik was pushing a larval version of the QAnon "deep state patriot" narrative in the leadup to the 2016 election: [this video]
