We’ve got sex advice, cult-building guides, a whole lot of talk about the coming apocalypse. There are famous actors, podcasters, politicians, billionaires — you know, the folks who run the world with very little democratic input from the rest of us. It’s called Dialog, it was co-founded in 2006 by the far-right tech entrepreneur Peter Thiel, and it’s extremely secretive. Like everything that’s said and done there is strictly off the record, it’s invite-only, and they’ve kept their members’ list hidden ever since its founding. Only on a couple of occasions has something leaked, most recently when Jeffrey Epstein’s invitation to their 2014 retreat surfaced in the Epstein files. Right, on that, he also wrote in a 2016 email to a Japanese venture capitalist: “Peter Thiel LOVED the secret society idea. He has done a lot of work on the concept.” But otherwise, for the past twenty years Dialog has done a surprisingly good job of keeping things under wraps, that is, until now. Because a Swiss hacktivist — the same one who leaked the U.S. government’s no-fly list a few years ago — says she just got tipped off to a vulnerability in Dialog’s website. And y’all, when I say “vulnerability,” I mean any random person could just look at the site’s HTML code and find a directory with a list of names. It is hard to think of a more embarrassing fuck-up for a super secret club created by Palantir tech bros who are supposed to be the best minds in data, surveillance and security. And on top of that, another source gave Wired the list of people registered to attend this year’s Dialog retreat, which is being held at a venue near Dublin, Ireland and includes 222 names. —————————— Produced by: Cory Ray, Philip DeFranco Edited by: James Girardier, Maxwell Enright, Julie Goldberg, Christian Meeks, Matthew Henry Art Department: William Crespo Writing/Research: Chris Tolve, Philip DeFranco ———————————— #PeterThiel #Dialog #ElonMusk
