Cheney heads to Utah for a private speech on Friday

[HowHasItComeToThis]

Source: SALT LAKE TRIBUNE

Vice President Dick Cheney will speak to a super-secret,conservative policy group in Utah on Friday during his second trip to the state this year.
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."
The organization -- made up of few hundred powerful conservative activists -- holds confidential meetings and members are advised not to use the name of the group in communications, according to a New York Times profile of the group.
"The media should not know when or where we meet or who takes part in our programs, before after a meeting,'' a list of rules obtained by The Times showed. The group did not respond to an e-mail seeking comment.

BEWARE THE SECRET MEETINGS.

IF YOU CAN'T DO IT IN PUBLIC, THERE MUST BE SOMETHING WRONG

[Mz Pip]

1. Is there a

super secret password to get into the speech? Maybe a super super secret handshake? Maybe a super secret kiss on a super secret place?

Inquiring minds want to know.

[sandrakae]

3. Maybe a super secret blow job in the men room at the airport.

[Mz Pip]

9. 3 foot taps

followed by a super secret wave.

Maybe they have a special decoder ring that will reveal a secret message. BESURETODRINKYOUROVALTINE

2. Discussing bombing Iran? Secret Cheney should be publicly impeached!

IMPEACH CHENEY FIRST

[JNelson6563]

45. A veritable Who's Who of evil characters

Wow. The only name missing was "Koch". I gotta believe they must not be exclusive enough or maybe too high profile (since anyone at all knows of the CNP) for the Koch brothers.

Thanks for link.

5. Some enterprising young journalist,

needs to find out where this meeting will be and post themselves out side with camera in hand.

Peace!

[0007]

43. Bill O'Reilly has all the tools to get to the bottom of junior's secret dick

.....and on top of it he doesn't mind getten' fucked for a worth while national story.

[HowHasItComeToThis]

6. MAYBE IT IS A WARREN JEFFS DEFENSE MEETING

JUST THINK OF ALL THE VOTERS HE HAS MADE, BOTH FIGURATIVELY AND ACTUALLY.

[napi21]

7. What a group!

The six permanent standing committees are:
Family co-chaired by Dr. James Dobson of Focus on the Family and Phyllis Schlafly of Eagle Forum.
Law and Justice co-chaired by former Attorney General Edwin Meese III and former Texas Court of Appeals judge Paul Pressler.
Economics co-chaired by former Office of Management and Budget director Jim Miller and Reed Larson of the National Right to Work Committee.

Even if this meeting was broadcast on cspan, I sure couldn't watch it! Look at the names on that list of permanent menters!

If you go to the site, it explaiines what they're all about, and it's frightening to say the least!

11. Pat Robertson is On His Way to Utah!!!!

Now we know why "The 700 Club" was running its fundraiser this week. Pat Robertson (one of the known CNP members) needed to make sure that he had enough money to fly all of his friends (and their girlfriends) via private jet to Utah to party with their beloved VP (he goes on 1/20/09 as well). God forbid should they ask Cheney about his lesbian daughter and illegitimate grandson.:evilfrown:

[Shipwack]

14. Not to mention the cost of fresh live babies for the feast..

Wouldn't do to have canned baby for such an important guest... :evilgrin:

[Maat]

12. Cheney addresses this cesspool ...

but won't be meeting with the Alliance for Climate Protection any time soon, I'm sure.

As a dedicated member and monthly donor to Americans United for Separation of Church and State, it frosts me to no end that this sorry lot has any kind of influence in our government.

[L. Coyote]

30. Cheney Unmasked. Kyle too! Isn't Meese a Reagan criminal? n/t

[Maat]

31. Yes (n/t)!

[Alone in utah]

47. Cheney addresses this cesspool...

It's makes me really uncomfortable that they found safe haven in Salt Lake City. Also in attendance: Mitt Romney and Utah's Governor John Huntsman.

13. Beer Choices

Well in addition to all the more sinister evil doing of this Klan I find out that the Coors family is a major source of funds for their activities. I have been drinking Killian's Irish Red, because I thought it was from Ireland...no...made by Coors under license <sigh>. Can anybody recommend a good left wing beer please;)

[Nostradammit]

26. Guiness

It's kept the Irish alive and fighting for years.

Though it's only a shadow of its actual self when it's exported, it's still the drink of disenfranchised radicals everywhere.

[rich1107]

35. I do enjoy a Guiness

now and then...need something lighter if I am having a few though;) Thanks for the suggestion:)

[307 MMS]

33. Irish ale

Smithwick's, my friend. A grand Irish ale, indeed. In fact, I'm consuming one right now. Not the first...or the last!

[rich1107]

37. I will have one

next time I am in...no more KKKoors for me;) Thanks for the tip:)

[redwitch]

40. Harp

is my favorite Irish beer.

[tchunter]

39. Rogue out of Oregon or Magic Hat out of VT

Magic Hat actually made a beer to celebrate when jeffords left the republican party: Jeezum Jim and there participation ale had allen ginsberg dressed as uncle same on the bottle and donated the money made to get out the vote programs.

[ToeBot]

15. Secret Combinations, and meeting in the heart of Utah even. nt

[olddad56]

16. We are only as sick as our secrets.

[ladywnch]

17. ya know, I don't know what I find more disturbing

the fact that he is doing this or that nobody outside DU gives a shit.

:argh: :wtf:

[dsweet]

18. Work and Pleasure

Work: meeting with Legion of Doom

Pleasure:

On the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources calendar for Sunday September 30th


Band-tailed pigeon season ends
Mourning dove and White-winged dove season ends
Sandhill Crane hunt in Uintah County end
August/September Black Bear hunt ends


He's got a free weekend and a lot of killing to do!

19. Council for National Policy

http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Council_for_National_Policy

"formed in 1981 by Tim LaHaye" (that should tell you plenty)

2006 Meeting
An example of the group’s far reaching influence on the conservative movement in the US is their May 9th 2006 meeting where speakers included NRA President Sandra Froman, Senator Rick Santorum, DHS Secretary Michael Chertoff, Heritage Foundation pres. Edwin Fuelner Jr., Phyllis Schlafly, Grover Norquist, US Amb. John Bolton, Oliver North and Robert Bork. <4>

Membership
"The media should not know when or where we meet or who takes part in our programs, before of after a meeting," the New York Times reported.

28. Mitt Romney, will also be in Utah on Friday but his campaign did not respond

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who ran the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, will also be in Utah on Friday but his campaign did not respond to a question about whether he would talk with the group.
Cheney's visit is expected to

be short, only a few hours, according to people familiar with the trip's details. The trip coincides with fundraisers in California, Colorado, Nevada and Wyoming, Cheney's spokeswoman Lea Anne McBride said.
All of the events on the trip are closed to the public and the news media, McBride said.
Cheney last visited the state April 26 to give the commencement speech at Brigham Young University.

[Reno.Muse]
