If it weren’t for secret meetings with shadowy people in undisclosed locations, Vice President Dick Cheney Darth Vader would have no social life at all.
He’s at it again, kossacks. And, if there’s one thing, we know from the past 7-years; it’s that whenever Dick Cheney meets in secret with someone - or in secret with some even more secret organization - nothing good on earth can come from it.
Once again, ol’ Darth Vader is acting like... well, Darth Vader. The benighted one’s alter ego, Vice president Dick Cheney, is once again taking the clandestine route in the dark of the night. The mission is a total secret when it comes down to where and why he's meeting and with whom... and when. But, lucky for us, the newspaper in Salt Lake City caught wind [literally] of plans for his latest undisclosed foray, and subsequently, all Salt Lake City citizens were warned to stay away, giving the meeting place a wide berth just as a precaution - death and destruction usually accompanying the dark one wherever he goes.
On this dark occasion, Darth Vader aims to infiltrate Mormon country, and he’s probably amassing with underground Nazi collaborators or a cult of alien overlords from outer space; or, I don’t know; maybe he’s just meeting with Scientologists. Only the Shadow knows...
Actually, on Friday, Mr. Cheney will be addressing the fall gathering of a super-duper-secret conservative policy group for the second time this year. The group, known as the Council for National Policy self-describes their mission as promoting "... a free-enterprise system; a strong national defense and support for traditional Western values."
Made up of a few-hundred powerful conservative activists, the council holds confidential meetings, and all members must abide by the rule not to use the name of the group in any communications, according to profiles of the group here, here and here.
The Salt Lake Tribune has the story:
"The media should not know when or where we meet or who takes part in our programs, before [or] after a meeting,'' a list of rules obtained by the New York Timesshowed. The group did not respond to an e-mail seeking comment.
Czech Republic President Václav Klaus is also expected to address the Council for National Policy's meeting in downtown Salt Lake City. After his speech, Cheney will meet with Klaus, the vice president's office said Tuesday.
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who ran the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, will also be in Utah on Friday but his campaign did not respond to a question about whether he would talk with the group.
Cheney's visit is expected to be only a few hours, according to people familiar with the trip's details. The trip coincides with fundraisers in California, Colorado, Nevada and Wyoming, Cheney's spokeswoman Lea Anne McBride said.
All of the events on the trip are closed to the public and the news media, McBride said.
Cheney last visited the state April 26 to give the commencement speech at Brigham Young University.
Where, I might add, Darth Vader ran into a large gathering of protesters villagers who were not particularly partial to the sounds of death and the stench of sulfur. And, armed with garlic necklaces and pitchforks, the crazed crowd stormed the motorcade, pulled Darth Vader out of the limousine, and then dragged him off the road, nailing him to a telephone pole to make an example of him to his minions.
Ok, so it was just a dream, but... it could happen, right? Right?
Never forget the death & destruction resulting from a prior [secret] meeting about 6-years ago.
Impede, impeach and imprison.
Let the force be with you.
