Mania of globality: what is known about Peter Thiel's secret society
For the first time, the leak of internal documents from the Dialog closed community provided access to confidential information about the organization's structure, membership, selection principles, internal ranking system, and the views of network members on the future of technology, artificial intelligence, global politics, and economics. Information about hundreds of participants, their personal data, event programs, and questionnaires with forecasts for the development of the world were publicly available. The media immediately dubbed the organization the "technological Bilderberg Club" and started talking about a new clan of the global political elite. What kind of dialogue the main technocrats of the world are having is in the Izvestia material.
Closed Dialog
Access to these materials became possible after the publication of data by Maya Arson, a supportive Swiss hacktivist ("Crimew"), who has recently been particularly active in opposing the migration policy of the administration of US President Donald Trump. The scale of the new leak turned out to be much wider. The published data includes the participants' home addresses, phone numbers, biographical information, comments on political views, and much more.
The leak attracted particular attention because Dialog unites decision makers in politics, finance, technology, defense, and international business. The very fact that such sensitive information turned out to be virtually unprotected caused a wide response.
Online Friends
The Dialog community was founded in 2006 by Peter Thiel, co-founder of PayPal and Palantir, together with IT investor Oren Hoffman. For almost two decades, the organization has functioned as a decentralized, closed international network, attracting little or no attention from the general public, but at the same time not particularly hiding its existence. Nevertheless, it was the leak that made it possible for the first time to study its internal structure in detail.
According to the published documents, Dialog is not an ordinary discussion club, but an international network of relationships that unites representatives of the political, technological, financial, academic, military and cultural elite. The organization organizes private events, annual retreats, private dinners, international trips, provides participants with a concierge service, as well as access to a closed communication space.
According to documents published by Wired, more than 1,000 people who regularly pay membership fees are permanent members of Dialog. At the same time, more than 2.5 thousand people have participated in the community's annual retreats over the years.
The next meeting of the members, according to the documents, is scheduled to take place from August 12 to 16 in a suburb of Dublin in the format of a private event.
Big names
The network unites representatives of various fields of activity. Meanwhile, attention is drawn to their common ideological affiliation and the same interests abroad. Almost all of them belong to the so-called right-wing conservative circles and, apart from the military, have political or economic ties with the British and Israeli power and financial elites. Among them are the son-in-law and former senior adviser to the US President Jared Kushner, Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent, Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll, head of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation Ted Cruz, former member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, later a member of the Financial policy Committee of the Bank of England Randy Kroshner, head of the Anti-Defamation League Jonathan Greenblatt, who made a career under Alexus Grinkevich, commander-in-chief of the united NATO forces in Europe and head of the European Command of the US Army, as well as Congressman Jim Himes from the House Intelligence Committee, which oversees government agencies with which Palantir contracts.
In addition, the events are attended by direct sponsors of Trump's two presidential campaigns: SpaceX owner Elon Musk, OpenAI president Greg Brockman, Palantir co—founder Joe Lonsdale, executive director of the Charles Koch Foundation Ryan Waters, former Google executive director and now the main link between Silicon Valley and the White House — Eric Schmidt, investor Marc Andreessen Palantir CEO Alex Karp and, of course, Peter Thiel himself. By the way, US Vice President Jay Dee Vance also owes his political career to the last four.
Peter Thiel
In other words, with a few exceptions, Dialog, among other things, brought together all the representatives of Silicon Valley, who at one time spoke in support of the course of the 47th President of the United States.
According to Wired, "other members of the club include billionaires from the world of hedge funds and private equity, current and former government officials from various countries, television series stars, bestselling writers, as well as religious leaders."
Bilderberg and Techno
The organization was immediately dubbed the "technological Bilderberg", but not as an alternative to the well-known elite club, but as a complementary element of it. By the way, Dialog co-founder Oren Hoffman has been a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, the organization that founded Bilderberg, since 2004, and Karp and Thiel regularly attend club meetings.
However, if we judge Dialog by its agenda, it is much simpler and clearer than its predecessor. The programs of his events show that the discussions within Dialog are much broader and more abstract than in traditional elite groups: "How to get through World War III," "Technologies of the future battlefield," "How to create a cult," and so on.
As in the case of Bilderberg, Dialog does not have a formal political platform, but it is easily read from the program documents of its members, for example, the manifestos of Palantir and Marc Andreessen or Eric Schmidt's book The New Digital World: a technocratic perspective for a regressing humanity, a belief in artificial ("augmented") intelligence (especially in military affairs) and capitalism, as well as the leading role of the United States and the need for a "revival of religion."
On the one hand, Dialog's integral ideas are opposed to the classical theses of globalism (outlined, for example, in H. G. Wells' book "The Open Conspiracy"), where capitalism gets a "socialist face", every national feeling must be eliminated in the name of a common future, and national governments must be unified into one single whole. The technocrats from Dialog don't offer anything like that. On the other hand, their model of the future also presupposes unconditional faith in the triumph of science and technology (including transhumanism), the achievement of maximum "human effectiveness" and the transformation of religion into a common guiding "cult". In this worldview, the "world government" is transformed from a supranational authority into a specific government of a specific country with unlimited possibilities. In other words, the ideas of Dialog members are in many ways a modification of well—known globalist theses.
What is surprising about this data leak story is the ease with which the information was obtained. According to Maya Arson, the list of Dialog members was found in the HTML code of the organization's website. "... this proves once again that the people who run the world are so confident in their safety that they don't bother to ensure the safety of their data," she said.
