Peter Thiel runs a technology focused globalist think tank through his off-the-record discussion group for "leaders" called Dialog.
As reported recently by WIRED, the the Swiss hacktivist, who goes by the name of maia arson crimew, claims to have accessed the Dialog website source code, revealing a list of attendees which WIRED journalists say they have seen and confirmed. The information provided is congruent with the numerous other reports about the secretive Dialog. The WIRED story is plausible, and the names on the list of invited attendees, such as Elon Musk, Eric Schmidt, Joe Lonsdale, and Jared Kushner, is as expected.
The reported topics for discussion at Dialog 2026 are not surprising. “Money (Does?) Buy Happiness,” “Bring Back Nuclear,” “Navigating WWIII,” “Battlefield Technologies,” and “Build-a-Cult,” are precisely the kind of ideas that secretive oligarch-led think tanks explore. That all attendees, most notably the selected politicians and government officials, tried to avoid public scrutiny by signing up using only private email addresses is, again, no surprise. Power is supposed to be wielded unseen.
Writing on his Substack, Hans Jonsson made an astute observation. Auren Hoffman, co-founder and chairman of Dialog, has developed technology firms, such as Safegraph and LiveRamp, that specialise in data harvesting, analysis and surveillance. Via Dialog, Hoffman has "off-the-record" chats with Trump's officials, including Scott Bessant, Trump's secretary of the treasury, and Ted Cruz, Trump's chairman of the US Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation—which oversees, among other matters, the conduct the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). The FTC supposedly controls so-called US anti-trust (data privacy) regulations.
Jonsson noted:
"The people who build the surveillance systems sit in private rooms with the people who are supposed to regulate and oversee those systems. Off the record. No government email. No public disclosure. Dialog isn’t just a dinner club. It’s where the regulated and the regulator meet without a transcript."
In reality, so-called "elites" and state officials working in partnership, never openly disclosing what they are seeking to achieve together, has always been how hierarchical power structures operate. Unfortunately, enabling the technocratic rule of oligarchs is the purpose of the system.
