Leak exposes members of Peter Thiel's Dialog society
Wired obtained internal records that exposed more than 220 people registered for Dialog’s 2026 retreat in Dublin, the invitation-only society co-founded by Peter Thiel. Names on the lists include Senator Cory Booker, Senator Ted Cruz, Colorado Governor Jared Polis, former prosecutor Preet Bharara, and financier Scott Bessent, and the records show attendees were told personal details would remain private. The leaked agendas list off-the-record sessions such as "Bring Back Nuclear," "Navigating WWIII," "Battlefield Technologies," "Build-a-Cult," and "How's Your Sex Life?" and show an associated app offering matchmaking. The leak matters because it reveals how political, finance, and tech elites privately coordinate on national security and cultural strategy, raising questions about secrecy, influence, and accountability.
NEW: A trove of internal records from Dialog, the secret society cofounded by Peter Thiel, was left exposed online. WIRED obtained a second cache of records that reveal who's really attending, how they're screened, and what personal details they were promised would stay private.
Stay tuned. There will be more.
It's a collection of the dumbest, scummiest humans alive, except they have the money and connections to make all their apocalyptic fantasies come true.
'A source separately provided WIRED with the registration list for Dialog's 2026 retreat, which names 222 people and records what the list describes as each registrant's membership status and attendee type, including “active member” and “guest.”' Dell, will you be publishing this list?
big ups to @crimew.gay the GOAT
the very existence of secret societies run by hyper-rich cryptofascists says where we are, but at least they're secret think of what it would mean if they were overt societies
I swear hate melts you, like literally. You ever notice when really hateful people get old their skin starts to sag a lot? Meanwhile look at modern Danny DiVito. He's gotten old sure, but he looks healthy and friendly. Hes a cool guy to hang around with probably :)
Hell is empty. All the devils are here in The Epstein Class.
How are both @agawande.bsky.social (USAID) and Elon Musk (destroyed USAID) in there? @agawande.bsky.social can you explain this, and any interactions you have both had in the group?
"These guys are all so weird except me" - everyone at the retreat
Tommy Wiseau confirmed as a Dialog member
Got to be embarrassing to the big brain techbros of the PayPal Mafia that they can't manage basic data protection of this sensitive data. Blush! 😧
White? Check. Racist? Check. Non-white Depopulation advocate? Check. Hopelessly AI-pilled? Check. Awkward socially? Check.
If you’ve wondered why Adam Fucking Grant has come into the limelight recently, it’s because Peter Thiel wants people to “think again” about the positive aspects of fascism. Good god, how do all these narcissists fit into one group setting?
It just means Luigi now has a list.
Peter Thiel is a White Christian Fascist who’s committed to the destruction of democracy.
I'm not shocked at some of the names on the list. For me though I didn't have Joseph Gordon Levitt being a member of a techocult on my BINGO card.
These assholes need their wealth redistributed.
“Matchmaking” so Thiel can build a dirt file
Are there any people who make under the average US household income in that group? Didn't think so.
“The 2014 retreat drew renewed attention this year when its invitation list, which included the financier Jeffrey Epstein among roughly 150 invitees, surfaced in the US Justice Department’s release of the Epstein files. It remains unclear whether he attended or not.”
I love this paragraph: “None of the individuals named in this story responded to requests for comment. Raffi Grinberg, who lists himself as Dialog’s executive director on his LinkedIn profile and is the author of the self-help book How to Be a Grown-Up, did not respond to a request for comment.”
What a scoop. These overlords, wannabe overlords and their vassals are already planning their medieval version of the 21st century. The majority of people will just be a permanent underclass - if they even survive. It is UP v. DOWN.
J D Vance is a Peter Thiel protégé.
Is that why Jim Himes endorsed Jay Clayton for DNI? Because that made me really doubt and question Rep Jim Himes immediately!
Thiel makes the Fascists look good by comparison, he's had enough of democracy and is tired of we peons making a mess of it. I've had more then enough of the evil Tech Bros in general, they mean us no good.
If it turns out this is how Cory Booker met his wife, reality will have truly jumped the shark
I can’t for the life of me understand why these tech elites would want to accelerate societal collapse. They have fortunes enough to escape without ruining it for everyone else.
This is the Epstein elite donor class being exposed for it's policy agenda like the wars in the Middle East, detaining immigrants, expansion of both AI and data centers also private equities quest dominance in the Western Economy.
There aren’t enough guillotine blades on the planet for the cleaning up we have to do.
Spill the beans!!! And this company secures our military and govt data????????
@nytimes.com should fire Bret Stephens immediately if he failed to disclose his participation in this bullshit.
How is everyone not sick of these rich assholes?
Ezra Klein being in this is disappointing but not surprising. I’d chalked up his decline to joining the NYT pundit-sphere (from which it seems only Bouie and Krugman got out unscathed), but him being part of Thiel’s secret society probably as much if not more to do with it.
Look at those cold, dead eyes.
It's always been about the money. Always.
dell. holy fuck. excellent article, amazing job.
Bret Stephens? Who knew Peter Thiel has bedbugs?
Would love to see all of the answers to the matchmaking questions, esp. Cruz & Bookers answers.
Sounds like the Koch brothers 2.0! People with money always think they are smarter and better than everyone!
My real take away is that anyone who is on 'our side' who isn't fighting fascism aggressively might not just be in it for the money. They might be doing self preservation because demagafication investigations might scoop them up too since they are toadying in the wealthy back rooms.
These mofos are the ones helping to ruin everything for their own deprivations, power and money. So tired of the whole lot.
Congratulations Peter you founded scientology
Let us pray, sincerely, that the self-destructing impulse of the participants gets its fulfillment. Elites, cult-building, sex, prepping for World War III, sounds very much like: wish to be dead, but I do not exactly know how. Would not vote for anyone who does not propose justice for the organizer.
Can't help but wonder how many "off-list" guests are going to be under 18
@news.rte.ie @thejournal.ie @breakingnewsie.bsky.social @irishtimes.com @corkbeo.bsky.social
Read it. Bottom line? Rep. Jim Himes is attending. Is that something he’s telling his constituents?
Some of these people are toxic. Why would Kaja Kallas want to spend even 5 mins in a room with them? I'd rather poke myself in the eye with a stick than breathe the same air as Elon Musk, Ted Cruz and Leonard Leo.
Images of Peter Thiel always look like they've been taken with a filter called "fuck up my face".
So there actually IS A CABAL!
These pukes. Wrecking our world. Ushering in authoritarian regimes and surveillance states. F them all.
Long article, but I missed the link to the list of all 200 names. 😀
These folks of all people should know: 1) never write anything down. 2) no gathering of three or more is ever private. 3) anything digital will eventually leak.
"panels on cult-building" Like... a how-to guide?
Why do those people have to be so creepy? With all that money and all that time in their hands, why can't they act like normal people?
Jesus they sound almost cartoonish with some of those “workshop” names….
This makes a lot of sense when you look at how Ezra Klein went from a below average student, mediocre white man, directly to being "the voice of reason" for the entire Democrat party, with almost nothing in between.
Bohemian Grove Meets Klaus Schwab. Pay at the door.
PT is a horrible person. Has been for decades.
Thiel is one of the darkest mother fuckers there is
How utterly gross and creepy, just like the founder of this sick Epstein Class sleepover party. I checked the list someone posted in the comments (not sure if it's real) and it looks like 1% of the attendees are women? 😆💩 Sounds about right for these scum suckers.
Just more nasty men hiding about the globe ashamed of their actions- So the Bohemian Club was too tame for these schmucks?
This should be enough to charge him with conspiracy against the American people and insider trading fwiw
Oh rad, that was real, huh? Someone ask Cory Booker about why he's on the list. I wonder if any wayback machine instances of the site have any PARTICULAR names...
@grubb.wtf not sure if you've been following this one but Sarah Bond has been outed as a member of Peter Thiel's secret society lol
Are there any German officials/politicians included? The previous html leak mentioned Jens Spahn.
@ezrakleinbot.bsky.social Ezra Klein is part of this secret society? 😮 @nytimes.com @nytopinion.nytimes.com
Are we sure this isn't a fantasy list Thiel created? Anyone can make a list. Other than this list, which was kinda made to be found, what independent proof exists that anyone on the list is actually willing involved.
my first impressions he has a pitted face adolescent acne? with all his money he should find a good plastic surgeon Hope we stays in Argentina from what i read
This conspiracy of evil-doers must be ended.
A secret society of elites run by billionaires you say‽‽
I don't even need to read the article. I know the signs Dungeon activity when I see it. Argentina is not that much different from Germany.
"Your registration has been highly discounted. Use discount code INSIGHT22." Gelman got a 70% discount code. To Temu Bilderberg.
One can only hope that these are in effect scam artists holding high priced lectures to gullible rich people about how to find faeries and summon ghosts
Wired has so many scoops lately. Love it. Great job. Yay real journalists
i bring shit like this up to my rep and his aide just laughs at me. Starting to feel like Dale mother fucking gribble out here. :/
And there are Democrats involved with Thiel..talk about No Kings..he has apparently crowned himself King..he is no different than Epstein..same Collector of People..same Sexual Creepery..same wealth..he's the exact same.
Bernie Sanders laid out the GOP stratigies that have brought us to today with Trump and billionaires dismantling our country 21 years ago this was unimaginable Now we are living it Listen and re-share www.facebook.com/share/v/1REU...
Wired continues to do the Lord's work in a dark time while traditional media barks like a dog.
I was not surprised that Ezra Klein is on the list, but the CEO of Chipotle??? It's so random.
All of them should form a line behind choppy
It’s almost like an Ayn Rand novel.
Alot of names I was disturbed to see.
Birds or perhaps turds of a feather flock together.
Super freaky (but not in the good Rick James way)
Back in the day the French marched aristocrats to a new invention, the guillotine, and lopped off their heads.
This is interesting. More than 200 of the world’s political, financial, and tech elites registered for a private retreat organized by Dialog, the secretive invitation-only network co-founded by billionaire investor Peter Thiel.
According to reporting, the retreat’s agenda covered an astonishing range of topics from panels on cult-building and sex to discussions about preparing for a potential World War III scenario. Attendees also reportedly had access to an associated app that offered networking and even matchmaking.
we have *got* to stop using the word “elites” when referring to these rapacious sociopaths
"It's a big club, and you ain't in it" - George Carlin
Quick summary of the agenda: how to control the masses, keep resistance to a minimum, and productivity high. And comparing Superyachts and private islands.
A gathering of the global oligarch cabal of tech bros, biz pigs, fascists…
Ugh. Trump Deep State, by Vance sponsor Thiel.
and @booker.senate.gov was on the guest list.
1793 France is looking better and better each day.
Be a shame if they were all in the same place at the same time…. Watch “The Family” on Netflix. Not the great movie with De Niro. The documentary that uncovers a Christian cult in Arlington.
Be a real shame if it was cross-referenced to the Epstein files.
And we are surprised…why? Welcome to our (yes, like it or not, we still live here) world!
I was going to say Bilderbergers, but it’s closer to the Council on Foreign Relations.
I HAV VERY SERIOUS QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT CORY BOOKER, JIM HIMES, PREET BHARARA, JULIAN CASTRO AND ATUL GAWANDE ARE DOING ON PETER THIEL’S SECRET SOCIETY LIST (et tu, Joseph Gordon Leavitt and Gretchen Rubin WHAT THE FUCK).
I think we now can begin to understand why centrist and corporate Democrats do the things they do
Julian Castro was really surprising to me, wtf??
Governor Jared Polis from @colorado.gov is on the 2nd page as well.
It is satisfying that NO ONE is surprised by Ezra Klein being on this list.
Blows my mind. Politicians run as Democrats. You assume they're on your side. A lot of them, at the end of the day, just aren't.
I have no idea what the rea$on could po$$ibly be.
These societies often invite liberal speakers on a one-time basis, and them claim them afterwards as fellow travelers or members, even if they’re not. It’s a slimy effort to soften the Right’s awful image.
Kasparov surprised me the most but yeah, all you listed here. WTF? I avoid all businesses associated with Thiel, and this list just makes me ill.
A pox on both democrats and republicans
Jesus woman get more info. Anything can be put in code. Even journalists who were tipped off said they weren’t sure this was a members list. This is why I blocked you on twitter. And, biggest lesson of all, do not fight the party fighting tyranny. That’s what they want.
So this is why theil left the US
This should up everything you need to know about Cory zeteo.com/p/is-cory-bo...
