The Council for National Policy is basically a rightwing CFR, but rather than vouching for a socialist agenda they would rather turn America into a theocracy.  Many CNP members are also John Birchers, which was first funded by Nelson Rockefeller as controlled opposition in the Roosevelt era. They also created the conditions for Clinton's impeachment.

I do better with the printed word than I do with videos, but thanks for posting it for those who have time to watch.  Quite interesting. This is a religious group I have known about for a while. It's founder, Tim LaHaye is notorious.  I try to keep that in the religion board and deal with NWO groups who are not religiously affiliated in this board. Almost all of these people are also political Zionists, not really what one would call Christians, in the truest sense of the word.  There are many profiled here on this forum if you search. If you can bring up more info on this org. and recent doings I would appreciate it.

Council for National Policy

Jump to: navigation, search

The Council for National Policy is a secretive forum that was formed in 1981 by Tim LaHaye as a networking tool for leading US conservative political leaders, financiers and religious right activist leaders. The group, which meets three times a year, promotes "Educational conferences for national leaders in the fields of business, government, religion and academia to explore national policy alternatives. Weekly newsletters are distributed to all members to keep them apprised of member activities and public policy issues. A semi-annual journal is produced from membership meeting speeches."[1]

In 2001, ABC News reported: "The CNP describes itself as a counterweight against liberal domination of the American agenda."[2]

Others are not so kind to the organization and its motives. Mark Crispin Miller states that the CNP is a "highly secretive… theocratic organization — what they want is basically religious rule" (A Patriot Act). Barry W. Lynn, the executive director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, told the New York Times about the CNP meeting ahead of the 2004 Republican National Convention, "The real crux of this is that these are the genuine leaders of the Republican Party, but they certainly aren't going to be visible on television next week."[3]

Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller (1908-79) … Graduated from Dartmouth College in 1930 and, after working in various branches of family business, entered public service. Rockefeller held numerous federal posts, including under secretary of state (1944), head of the International Development Advisory Board (1950-52), and under secretary of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (1953-55). He was elected governor of New York in 1958 and reelected in 1962, 1966, and 1970. Rockefeller unsuccessfully sought the Republican presidential nomination three times (1960, 1964, and 1968). In 1974 Rockefeller was sworn in as vice-president under President Gerald Ford and served until the term ended in 1977.  18  Participated in the founding of the United Nations.

While unknown to many, Robert Welch, founder of the John Birch Society, was helped by the sale of his brother's Candy Company to Rockefeller owned National Biscuit Company, which for many would appear to be in direct opposition to the JBS goals. Robert, with some of his original candy recipes, had joined James Welch after his own candy business shut down.

In the obituary of James O. Welch, published February 1, 1985 by the New York Times, it was stated:

    "…He founded his candy company in 1927 in Cambridge, Mass. Over the years the company produced such popular brands as Junior Mints and Milk Duds.

    In 1963 the National Biscuit Company, now Nabisco Brands Inc., bought Mr. Welch's company. Mr. Welch was a director of Nabisco from 1963 until his retirement in 1978. His son, James O. Welch Jr., of Short Hills, N.J., is president of Nabisco.

    …An older brother, Robert H. W. Welch Jr., founder of the John Birch Society, died Jan. 6. " [James O_ Welch Dies at 79; Founder of Candy Company - New York Times http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9406E7DA133BF932A35751C0A963948260]

From another source:

    "…. To enable Robert Welch, a 32nd degree Mason, to devote all of his time to the John Birch Society, Nelson Rockefeller purchased his family firm, the Welch Candy Company, from him at a most handsome price. Welch chose the principal officers of the John Birch Society from his acquaintances at the Council on Foreign Relations…" 19

In the article My 'One-Minute' Membership In the John Birch Society, the following information, concerning the buyout of the Welch Candy Company is related:

    "…. In the August 1965 edition of Capsule News, Morris Bealle (now deceased) laid it bare. He wrote:

    Robert Welch (and his brother Jimmy) received a tremendous payoff from the House of Rockefeller two years ago, for organizing the John Birch Society and sitting on the communist lid for the past seven years. The total pay-off was $10,800,000, less the value of the family candy company, which is reputed to be maybe $100,000 or $200,000.

    On October 1, 1963, Rockefeller's National Biscuit Company announced the "purchase" of the James O. Welch Candy Company of Cambridge, Massachusetts.

    In Moody's Manual of Industrials, and in Standard-and-Poor's Business Index, NBC gave the alleged purchase price as "200,000 shares of National Biscuit common stock." According to The Wall Street Journal for Oct. 1, 1963, NBC common stock was selling for $54 a share on the New York Stock Exchange.

    Today it is selling for $58. Thus the Welch brothers were given $10,800,000 just like that."

    Candy people say the whole family business, with plants and five sales offices, [was] hardly worth $200,000. Welch will tell those dopes who will believe him mat National Biscuit is not a Rockefeller concern.

    Again, Moody's Manual will trip him up. It lists as two of the directors the names of Roy E. Tomlinson and Don. G. Mitchell. [Both are] members of the Council on Foreign Relations. Further, they are a pair of Rockefeller's "professional directors." Tomlinson is also a director of their Prudential Life and American Sugar Refining.

    It was American Sugar that was directly concerned with the financing and embargoing into the hands of Communist Russia of Cuba in 1959. They made the deal with Castro, which ended freedom on the island of Cuba and made possible those Havana missile bases designed to wipe out American eastern seaboard cities.

    It also appears that the Rock Mob financed and promoted the organization of the John Birch Society. How else could it have gotten millions of dollars worth of newspaper publicity by the phony "attacks" on Welch that came with dramatic suddenness.

    And, for the record, in more recent years, famed populist historian Eustace Mullins, author of The Federal Reserve Conspiracy, The World Order and other classics, has said publicly-more than once-that his research led him to the conclusion that the Birch Society was indeed a creation of the Rockefeller empire, based on precisely the same data that led Bealle to reach his assessment. So Bealle was not standing alone, by any means, in making these allegations…" end quote [http://www.barnesreview.org/John_birch.htm]

In 1962 , Nelson wrote, "The Future of Federalism" which claims that current events demand a "new world order." He stated that there is: "A fever of nationalism…but the nation-state is becoming less and less competent to perform its international political tasks…These are some of the reasons pressing us to lead vigorously toward the true building of a new world order…Sooner perhaps than we may realize…there will evolve the bases for a federal structure of the free world."

Nelson developed the CIAA, which was his own version of the CIA, and which had intelligence oversight of the South American continent. He used what ever political and social networks that were available to achieve his goals, using the intelligence community to advantage. His lust for wealth propelled him to desire control over every aspect of the continent. He planned major highways spanning the Amazon jungle, building dams, lakes, ranches, incorporating drilling and mining and reaping what belonged to the Native population. With Nelson's endorsement, the governments of South America were manipulated and managed extensively by the CIA, to benefit not only Rockefeller, but the US desire for global wealth and control against "communism." [Thy Will Be Done] His ventures have impacted not only the native peoples but devastated the environment, which comes in sharp contrast to his brothers Laurence's and David's environmental ventures, which supposedly are to protect the environment.
