Since 2006, billionaire Palantir and PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel has run a secret society known as Dialog. An invitation-only group, Dialog has connected some of the most powerful people in American politics, finance, academia and tech and brought them together in behind-closed-doors meetings. A new leak of Dialog's membership records has revealed that the group has counted many powerful Texans among its ranks.
On Monday, Swiss hacktivist maia arson crimew said that she and a group of investigative journalists were able to access a directory of Dialog's members through a vulnerability in the group's website. The hacktivist is best known for hacks that exposed the U.S. government's No Fly List in 2023 and obtained data from surveillance camera company Verkada in 2021. She posted the membership list on Bluesky and said it contains at least 113 people who were either guests or active members of Dialog.
Dialog, which purchased land for a permanent campus in Washington, D.C. last year, brings together a dizzying array of influential global figures to discuss matters philosophical, political and financial. Dialog has been compared to the Bilderberg Group, a secretive policy conference formed originally to prevent another World War that now hosts elites from around the world. A wide array of people from across the political spectrum have attended Dialog's forum events. Besides Thiel himself, it has boasted attendees and members like U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent; actor Joseph Gorden Levitt; U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ); and Reid Hoffman, the founder and CEO of LinkedIn, to name a few.
