A leak reveals participants and program of Peter Thiel’s secret network meeting. On the agenda: World War, dating, philosophy.
The ambience is luxurious. The public is excluded. Peter Thiel’s group with the inconspicuous name “Dialog” has met in the past in Venetian palazzi and luxury hotels. It’s about networks of political officials and tech bosses. About discussions about world wars and exclusive dating. It should be that time again soon. This time, however, it’s not so secret.
The US magazine Wired was able to reveal details and the participants of the next meeting in August. There are 222 names on the list. Including:
- Ted Cruz, Republican Senator
- Scott Bessent, Treasury Secretary in Donald Trump’s Cabinet
- Alexus Grynkewich, head of Europe for the US Army
- Joe Lonsdale, co-founder of Palantir
- Dan Driscoll, a senior official in the US Department of Defense until April 26
Wired has not published the complete list. There are no Germans among the names in the article. However, other names of well-known politicians in this country are also circulating on social media. We asked you about it.
What is known about the meeting?
The dialogue meetings are a mixture of Davos, Bilderberg and Burning Man. You can piece that together from the information that has leaked so far. As much as this time has never come through before. The next edition is scheduled to take place near Dublin, Ireland. Date: August 12th to 16th.
The program includes topics such as “Building a Cult,” “Navigating World War III,” and “What’s Your Sex Life?”
In general, private matters don’t seem to be left out. When registering, participants could indicate whether they were “looking for love” and whether they wanted to get to know women, men or “others”. Trump confidants and gender diversity, it doesn’t seem to be mutually exclusive here.
However, many remain excluded for financial reasons alone. It is known from older leaks that the registration fee in 2022 was $16,000.
Where did the data come from?
Guests were also able to enter political leanings or book tips (Marc Aurel, Milan Kundera). Of course, all of this should remain secret. The fact that this was not achieved should be embarrassing for the elite tech circle.
After all, Peter Thiel’s company Palantir is a cybersecurity firm. While the guest list was given to Wired by an anonymous source, a well-known hacker is also involved in the research. The Swiss “maia arson crimew” had found excerpts from Dialog’s website code.
Particularly unpleasant: The 27-year-old once told Forbes that her attacks were usually not particularly technically demanding.
