Dialog (Thiel/Hoffman Private Network)

A secret, invitation-only club where billionaires and politicians from both parties meet off the record had its entire member list leaked online.
Who they are
Dialog, an elite private network co-founded in 2006 by Peter Thiel and data broker Auren Hoffman, run by exec director Raffi Grinberg[1].
What they do
The engine describes it as the private, 'tech Bilderberg' counterpart to Thiel's public Hereticon conference — a place where powerful people from across party lines quietly coordinate.
How it works
It holds off-the-record retreats (2026 Dublin registration listed 222 people) in small moderated breakouts where attendees are coached to avoid status signaling; in June 2026 a researcher found the full member directory in the site's own code and WIRED reported the leak — names, phones, birthdates, political leanings, '2031 predictions,' and session titles like 'Navigating WWIII' and 'Build-a-Cult,' with attendees spanning Bessent, Cruz, Booker, Gabbard, Kushner, Musk, Schmidt and more.
Why it matters
The engine reads it strictly from the records as proof that a privileged class meets across party lines to coordinate — but deliberately stops short of calling it a single unified command; it's a coordination venue, not evidence of one ruler pulling the strings.
The engine's record — word for word
Dialog — invitation-only elite network co-founded 2006 by peter_thiel and data-broker auren_hoffman; exec director Raffi Grinberg. Annual off-the-record retreats (historically ~100 participants; 2026 Dublin/Powerscourt registration list = 222), run as moderated 8-12 person breakouts (no speeches), attendees coached to 'avoid status signaling.' Routinely called a 'tech Bilderberg' (concretizing the 'Bilderberg Steering Committee' line already on the thiel node) and the PRIVATE counterpart to the publicly-promoted hereticon_thiel_conference. [Live pass Jun 18 2026] EXPOSED: WIRED (Jun 16 2026) reported a leak — researcher 'maia arson crimew' found a member directory in Dialog's own site code, dumping the full Dublin list plus phones, birthdates, emergency/assistant contacts, self-reported 'political leaning' (collected with a promise it would never be shared), 'predictions for 2031,' and live login tokens. Leaked session titles: 'Navigating WWIII,' 'Taiwan and the AI Race,' 'Build-a-Cult,' longevity. Cross-party, cross-sector registrants (Bessent/Cruz/Booker/Gabbard/Kushner/Polis/Wes Moore/Leonard Leo/Norquist; Musk/Schmidt/reid_hoffman/Chamath/Kravis/Joe Lonsdale/Bryan Johnson; Summers/Haass/Haidt/Pinker/Peter Attia/Ezra Klein). ENGINE READING (records only, #197-faithful): documents the exempt class convening across nominal party lines — cartel-consistent coordination substrate (same category as Bilderberg/Hereticon), NOT proof of a unified directorate, NOT an apex-dial move; names no holder; list-appearance != attendance (the EU denied Kaja Kallas attended). Sourcing caveat: WIRED original reached via secondary coverage; registrant count varies by outlet (222 vs '113'/'100+'). [Report #117 — Mimetic Scapegoat] Two specifics added: a leaked Aug-2026 retreat session 'Democracy Under Surveillance' (alongside 'Navigating WWIII' / 'Build-a-Cult'); and the related off-the-record Thiel Antichrist/katechon lecture audio (2025-26) was forensically authenticated by UC Berkeley's Prof. Hany Farid. The leak's zero structural fallout is a worked instance of burn_after_reading.
