Club of the Most Powerful Gathers in Strictest Privacy
By DAVID D. KIRKPATRICK

Published: August 28, 2004

Three times a year for 23 years, a little-known club of a few hundred of the most powerful conservatives in the country have met behind closed doors at undisclosed locations for a confidential conference, the Council for National Policy, to strategize about how to turn the country to the right.

Details are closely guarded.

"The media should not know when or where we meet or who takes part in our programs, before of after a meeting," a list of rules obtained by The New York Times advises the attendees. <snip>

4. Yeah, and I love how they discuss 'their plans for Iran..."

As if they have any business planning the destiny of any sovereign nation. err.. um.. uh.. oh yeah, there's that whole iraq thing.

2. Is this the same as Grover Norquist's weekly group?

He field marshall's weekly meetings of conservative oriented groups every week in Washington.

3. But, but that's a 'CONSPIRACY'

and 'conspiracy theorists' are just nutty 'tin foil hatters'.

At least that's what I hear - even on these DU boards.

6. America would be better off if it would

Just amputate the damn right wing. Refuse to give these cabals power,privacy or respect.END all their black ops secrets,expose every fucking plot before it can do harm.Fuck all their secrets than.This country isn't run by "the people" when the republicans are running around making 0plans to rule the world in some crazy slave camp theocracy because they failed to use power wisely,planning horrors and how to get away with it in secret meetings.. Getting power through manipulation and getting away with horrors behind closed doors.Secret meetings are contrary to democracy ,human rights,and a danger to freedom.They should not be allowed to hide and scheme if they want to rule anyone,period.No more secrets and hidey holes for the powerful abusers.The bully abuses the concepts of privacy,power and freedom because they know their intentions for those they see as less than themselves are not good and their hegemonies are unwanted by those they want to govern.


Who wants this self serving secret bully cabal telling us how to live!
Amputate the right wing,it is malignant.

7. What can I say? I totally agree.
