At last: Shickshinny Knights of Malta linked to the Draper/Vonsiatsky Condon ManCand crowds

The Pioneer Fund was established as a charitable trust on February 27,
1937 in New York City. Harry H. Laughlin, Frederick Osborn and textile
magnate Wickliffe Draper were the principle founders.[1] The Fund's
stated purpose was to "improve the character of the American people"
by encouraging the procreation of descendants of "white persons" and
to provide aid in conducting research on "race betterment with special
reference to the people of the United States."[2] The current
president of the Pioneer Fund is a shadowy figure named Harry F.
Weyher, a financier and corporate lawyer who eschews interviews and
runs the Fund without pay or staff from his offices in New York; he is
assisted in his work by four other "Trustees" - one of whom has been
Tom Ellis, a close associate of Pat Robertson and Tim LaHaye in the
Council on National Policy (CNP), the principle coordinating agency in
bringing together various members of the religious right with the
business right and the political right. All serve without pay and
staff.

It's good to note that Sarah Palin was the CNP hand-picked VP candidate.McCain was basically told who his running mate would be.So folks,these people are this powerful!And,it has been my prediction that Sarah Palin will be our next President.You Betcha....

Max Blumenthal: Council for National Policy “Hidden Hand Behind McCain’s Palin Pick”

Created: September 2nd, 2008 | Written By: matttbastard


For those who claim that the McCain campaign didn’t thoroughly vet their VP nominee before offering her a slot on the ticket, Max Blumenthal puts all concerns to rest:

Last week, while the media focused almost obsessively on the DNC’s spectacle in Denver, the country’s most influential conservatives met quietly at a hotel in downtown Minneapolis to get to know Sarah Palin. The assembled were members of the Council for National Policy, an ultra-secretive cabal that networks wealthy right-wing donors together with top conservative operatives to plan long-term movement strategy.
CNP members have included Tony Perkins, James Dobson, Grover Norquist, Tim LaHaye and Paul Weyrich. At a secret 2000 meeting of the CNP, George W. Bush promised to nominate only pro-life judges; in 2004, then-Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist told the group, “The destiny of the nation is on the shoulders of the conservative movement.” This year, thanks to Sarah Palin’s selection, the movement may have finally aligned itself behind the campaign of John McCain.
[...]
I learned of the get-together only through an online commentary by one of its attendees, top Dobson/Focus on the Family flack Tom Minnery. (Watch it here) Minnery described the mood as CNP members watched Palin accept her selection as John McCain’s Vice Presidential pick. “I was standing in the back of a ballroom filled with largely Republicans who were hoping against hope that something would put excitement back into this campaign,” Minnery said. “And I have to tell you, that speech by Alaska Governor Sarah Palin — people were on their seats applauding, cheering, yelling… That room in Minneapolis watching on the television screen was electrified. I have not seen anything like it in a long time.”
Minnery added that his boss, Dobson, has yearned for a conservative female leader like Margaret Thatcher to emerge on the American scene. And while Palin is no Thatcher, “she has not rejected the feminine side of who she is, so for that reason, she will be attractive to conservative voters.”
The members of the Council for National Policy are the hidden hand behind McCain’s Palin pick. With her selection, the Republican nominee is suddenly — and unexpectedly — assured of the support of a movement that once opposed his candidacy with all its might.

Ask, and ye shall receive. Once again, Sarah Palin isn’t on the ticket to pick up Clinton voters; her unexpected nomination is nothing but a blatant pander to the religious right and an undeniable affirmation of its continued power within the contemporary GOP. And now that Dobson has his low-rent Thatcher mock-up (if the Iron Lady weren’t still among the living she’d be doing a 720 in her grave) as requested, he suddenly seems to be considering a change of heart with regards to McCain’s acceptability.
Imagine that.
