The shadow government shows forth and Cheney is summoned to council.
Whether this is a bad thing or a very very bad thing – well, that remains to be seen, doesn’t it?
An ultra-secret conservative group — so secret that members don’t even use the group’s name in communications — will feature Vice President Dick Cheney as a speaker at a meeting in Utah today.
“Cheney will address the fall meeting of the Council for National Policy, a group whose self-described mission is to promote ‘a free-enterprise system, a strong national defense and support for traditional Western values,” according to the Salt Lake City Tribune.
Founded in 1981 by Tim LaHaye, the co-author of the popular post-apocalyptic Christian-themed Left Behind books, the group holds confidential meetings three times a year attended by a small but powerful cadre of top conservatives.
[…]
We do not lobby Congress, support candidates, or issue public policy statements on controversial issues,” the group states on its website. Members “meet to share the best information available on national and world problems, know one another on a personal basis, and collaborate in achieving their shared goals.”[…]
Cheney’s speech and other events of his trip, which coincides with a fundraising swing through West, is closed to the public and the press, according to the Tribune.
A secret speech to a secret society of far-right, religious nutjobs at public expense on public time. Why? He’s either going there to to rally support for his attack on Iran, get torn off a strip for not having yet triggered the apocalypse, or to plan the final coup.
Never has a heart attack been so overdue.
