Council for National Policy

Secretive right-wing umbrella group for U.S. Christian autocracy movement

Wikipedia: 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 Washington Spectator: "Since its founding in 1981 by a group of right-wing fundamentalists and oil barons, the CNP has worked, largely behind the scenes, to reshape America into a country that protects gun rights, counters federal regulation, favors plutocrats, and rolls back the social progress wrought by the New Deal and the Great Society"
