Here’s some information that will make your head spin. The folks behind the horrendous bills that are anti-LGBTQ+, anti-women, and anti-BIPOC, are the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF). But the mob boss of it all is the Council for National Policy (CNP). The Council for National Policy is a Christian nationalist group.
The New York Times describes the CNP as a little-known club of a few hundred of the most powerful conservatives in the country. They meet three times a year behind closed doors at undisclosed locations for a confidential conference. They are so secretive that you can only attend with the unanimous approval of the executive committee. Members are instructed to not even refer to the organization by name.
The Council for National Policies was founded in 1981 by the author of the Left Behind series, Tim Lahey. But, to find out more about them, we have to go back to 1845 when the Southern Baptist Convention was started.
The Southern Baptists
The Southern Baptists were created because they branched away from Baptists over slavery. Southern Baptists supported slavery. The Southern Baptist Convention remained apart from other Protestant denominations during the war.
And in 1962 the Supreme Court ended public school prayer. The Southern Baptists did not like that. The Southern Baptists realized that with the shifting demographic of America that they might be irrelevant very soon.
Jerry Falwell’s Gang
They could not have it that way. So the Southern Baptist Church plotted to get into politics. In 1979 Southern Baptist preacher Jerry Falwell, who was for segregation, decided to convene a meeting with some other pastors. Also included was Republican operative Paul Weyrich, who co-founded the Heritage Foundation. Falwell, Weyrich, Pat Robinson, Tim Lahey, and presidential Ronald Reagan got together.
They started a 501(c)(3) called the Council for National Policy. Which is a network of evangelicals working to dismantle the social safety net and civil liberties that we have today.
Some of its more prominent members today include the Koch brothers and the DeVos family. Leaders of this group have included Tony Perkins, the head of the LGBT-bashing Family Research Council, who is now its president. He claimed that gay people recruit children. He secretly published a mailing list for a candidate he was managing from former clan leader David Duke.
Anti-LGBTQ
Also on the CNP’s Board of Governors is Michael Perotka. Perotka was for many years on the board of the League of the south, a neo-Confederate hate group that advocates for a newly secluded south ruled by white people.
Another board member is Matt Staver, leader of the anti-LGBT Liberty Council, who has worked for the re-criminalization of homosexuality and calls the Boy Scouts a playground for child abusers.
He likened LGBT activists to terrorists. And there’s Alan Sears, the founder of Alliance Defending Freedom. The entire group seeks a fusion of fundamentalist theology with American civic life.
A White Christian-Only Country
They believe that this country was also founded for Christians like them, generally natural-born citizens and white. They control a lot of the media and want to control many other industries. You might recognize the CNP member Charlie Kirk, who runs Turning Point USA.
The Daily Caller is also owned by members of the Council for National Policy, and so are Breitbart, and the National Rifle Association.
The Seven Mountains Mandate, ADF, Moms for Liberty, and ALEC, are all related to the Council for National Policies. They backed Ted Cruz on his presidential run because his dad, Raphael Cruz, was one of the founding members.
Amy Coney Barrett, Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis, and Ted Cruz, they’ve all been speakers at CNP conferences.
The Council for National Policy. Remember that name. Notice it when it pops up in articles or on news stations because that is the organization that is behind turning America into a white supremacist, Christian, nationalist, fascist country, and world. And again, this has nothing to do with Christian principles, it has everything to do with controlling YOU.
