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.
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.
