https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Council_for_National_Policy

The Council for National Policy (CNP) is an umbrella organization and networking group for conservative and Republican activists in the United States. It has been described by The New York Times as "a little-known club of a few hundred of the most powerful conservatives in the country," who meet three times yearly behind closed doors at undisclosed locations for a confidential conference.[1] The Nation has called it a secretive organization that "networks wealthy right-wing donors together with top conservative operatives to plan long-term movement strategy".[2] It was founded in 1981 by Tim LaHaye as a forum for conservative Christians seeking to strengthen the political right in the United States.[3][4] The organization has been described as a "pluto-theocracy".
