Leaked 2014 Membership Directory

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) recently obtained a copy of the CNP’s 2014 Membership Directory, a 191-page compendium that lists 413 members, 118 members who have died, and 14 past presidents. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9F2zCmKCmXOQVJGNU5wdUl6VG8/preview 212.17.55.197 (talk) 09:16, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Coordinating National Policy Group

I have seen the speeches and speakers shown by the CNP site section "past speeches", impressive, the who's who of the Neo-Conservative and The Christian Right speak openly and voice their opinion. The secrecy begets the question, why is it so? A site worth a look www.policycounsel.org

It gives a guide to the next shift in Conservative National Politics. Again Paul Weyrich is key-man in this organization, examine the judicial activism from this article here /www.renewamerica.us/columns/weyrich/041129

perhaps we should rename/create section as past verified members.199.67.138.154 16:19, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

yes. there are many substantiated past members. This is historically relevant--Boscobiscotti 19:15, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Two Entries - One Organization

Wikipedia has an entry for the COUNCIL FOR National Policy and for the COMMITTEE ON National Policy although there is only one organization. These two entries should be merged. LAWinans (talk) 00:16, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I just did that. I was the one who started the other article, based on a news story that got the name of the organization wrong. Redddogg (talk) 05:27, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Scientology connection?

I'm not seeing in this piece any current support for the connection to Scientology. Older versions provide secondary source links indicating connections inferred via Gary Bauer, but the primary source for this seems to have been http://www.cephas-newsletter.net/ncp8.html which has fallen off the web on the one hand, and judging by other site material preserved at Archive.org was not a reliable source to begin with. This group's actual associations seem damning enough without drawing Scientology into it. I'm thus planning to remove the "Scientology" topics mentions. This seems noncontroversial; however, as some of my edits may be more controversial, and since bad habits of the CoS leave any edit removing connections to Scientology suspect by default, I'm documenting the change here on the Talk page.

Relationship/collaboration with other right-wing organizations and individuals

Does the Council for National Policy have any historical relationships or collaborations with the Federalist Society or Opus Dei? 173.88.246.138 (talk) 15:35, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, there’s a close working relationship with the Federalist Society. I am unaware of any public connection with Opus Dei, but the CNP has put together a coalition of religious people from different Christian denominations, including Catholics. As you are likely aware, the US Supreme Court is majority Catholic. Viriditas (talk) 08:45, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Correction: The CNP is connected to Opus Dei through Leonard Leo, who is both a member of Opus Dei and a board member of CNP. Viriditas (talk) 08:24, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Do the heads of the Federalist Society, Heritage Foundation, American Legislative Exchange Council, FreedomWorks, and National Rifle Association belong to the Council for National Policy? 173.88.246.138 (talk) 14:03, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think they do, but you would have to verify this. Anne Nelson’s book Shadow Network can confirm some of the public or leaked information. Viriditas (talk) 08:45, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Has Michael Flynn been a member of the Council for National Policy? 173.88.246.138 (talk) 15:35, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Unknown, but he is listed on their website as "policy counsel" from 2016, which I think means he gave a speech to the group. Keep in mind, the CNP is highly authoritarian, which means you’re either associated with them or you’re not, in which case you are probably out of a job. It’s a kind of you’re with us or against us approach. Viriditas (talk) 08:45, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

CNP Action, Inc.

Why is CNP Action, Inc., the 501(c)(4) sister organization of the Council for National Policy, which was established in 1987, not mentioned in this article? 173.88.246.138 (talk) 15:44, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It should be. Viriditas (talk) 08:50, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Mention of the 2021 United States Capitol attack

Shouldn't the 2021 United States Capitol attack be mentioned in this article? 173.88.246.138 (talk) 02:04, 26 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it should, particularly in regards to the numerous key players involved in the J6 insurrection that are also members of the CNP. Charlie Kirk and the TPUSA group, who helped bus in the insurrectionists, should be mentioned, as should Ginni Thomas, a board member who worked behind the scenes to stoke the fire of J6. Keep in mind, in the run up to the attacks, we have leaked documents and quotes from the group and its members saying they were prepared to go to battle. We now know that J6 was primarily a rally for Christian nationalists, who intended to undermine the US Constitution, revoke the rule of law, and restore the divine right of kings (Trump) under the command of their Christian god. This is what the CNP has been working towards from the beginning—to replace democracy with theocracy. Viriditas (talk) 00:23, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
