Teehee! Can't take credit for it, it's been around for a long time... but thanks!
Thumbs up to you too, fren!
aka an Obamination!
Couldn't say. But here's more from the article...
Those executives appear side by side with senior US officials overseeing their industries. Auren Hoffman, Dialog’s chairman, founded the location-data broker SafeGraph and the identity-resolution firm LiveRamp, two of the most important suppliers in the consumer data economy. He appears in the directory alongside Treasury secretary Scott Bessent, whose department writes the rules on financial data, and Senator Ted Cruz, chairman of the Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee, which oversees the Federal Trade Commission and its data-privacy authority.
Palantir cofounder Joe Lonsdale, whose software runs case management for US Immigration and Customs Enforcement and data fusion for the Pentagon and intelligence community, is listed in the same society as Army secretary Dan Driscoll and Representative Jim Himes, the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, which oversees agencies Palantir contracts with.
Sorry for the repost, then. I searched a couple of terms, including Thiel's name, and found nothing within the last 3 months.
Anything's possible nowadays, eh?
The article begins: A trove of internal records from a secret society for powerful figures in US politics, finance, and tech was left exposed online, WIRED has confirmed, naming participants in its events and revealing sensitive personal details they were assured would stay private.
The group, called Dialog, is a private, invitation-only organization cofounded in 2006 by the billionaire tech investor Peter Thiel. It convenes US officials, foreign government figures, and Silicon Valley executives at off-the-record annual retreats. Dialog has spent two decades declining to disclose its members.
A directory in the website's code was first revealed by the Swiss hacktivist maia arson crimew. Known for exposing the US government’s No Fly List and breaching the surveillance-camera company Verkada, crimew tells WIRED the directory surfaced via an anonymous tip. WIRED independently verified its contents.
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.” The retreat is scheduled for August 12-16 at a venue near Dublin, Ireland.
The same data lays out a program of off-the-record sessions, including: “Money (Does?) Buy Happiness,” “Bring Back Nuclear,” “Navigating WWIII,” “Battlefield Technologies,” and “How’s Your Sex Life?” Other talks include “Build-a-Cult,” moderated by the founder of the Christian networking site Pray.com, and “Build-a-Party,” run by a former White House national security official.
Together, alongside the mundane fare of a typical thought leadership conference, the documents show an extraordinary convergence of power. The registration records list General Alexus Grynkewich, NATO's supreme allied commander Europe and the head of US European Command, who took the post in July 2025 and is recorded on the leaked list as having attended Dialog gatherings since 2021. The website directory names sitting Trump administration officials, two US senators, six members of the Paypal Mafia, a former Middle East chief of intelligence, and a sitting ambassador to the United States, along with the founders and directors of many of the country's largest surveillance, data-broker, and advertising-data companies.

No idea. I figure they might want to leave up the venue until after Independence Day.
But I would have thought that a motorcade could still access the south drive, so it surprised me to see them using the north side instead.
But Obamanation, FJB, and all of their sort get to put "loyalists" into key roles.
Only PDJT is a bad guy for trying such a thing.
Shades of Scaramucci, only better and of longer duration?
And Melania's going too? Intriguing... what could this be about?
Edit: Okay, doesn't look like Melania is going... had to watch all the way to the end of that hour-plus video and still can't be sure who all was there. Poor camera angle and obstructions.
Seems unusual to use the North Portico for departure, too. It wasn't the ceremonial South Lawn exit with the curving stairways.
Nice gown on Brigitte. Wish we could see Melania there too... she always looks radiant!
Great find.
I just saw (can't recall exactly where) someone writing about the Belfast protests who referred to this as the "asylum industrial complex."
Migrant hotels, endless inflatable motorboats and life vests, and all the rest of it.
Utter insanity and deliberate destruction.
Yes, you get it! :~) And I really like how you phrased it.
I heard that over on Gab, they've been putting together what they call a parallel economy, but I don't know anything about it.
Looks like you and I are the only ones around here who see the potential... or think we do. Sigh.
Well, it would explain why the Demonrats are crashing out so hard over Pulte becoming the acting DNI.
One of the dirty secrets of the transportation industry is the vast number of Chinese-owned passenger bus companies, many operating out of the NYC and Philly areas.
They don't follow USDOT regulations, don't limit driver hours per the safety laws, don't inspect or maintain (or even clean) their buses, might be involved in human trafficking, drug and tobacco smuggling, and who knows what else.
Wonder if this was one such. I'd bet yes, given that the bus in the photo has no company branding decal on the outside.
Teehee! I imagined this same meme yesterday... glad someone put it together!
Seditious smug bastard.
Ayn Rand nailed this seventy years ago in Atlas Shrugged.
A naive girl, Cherryl, who got swept away into marriage with a globalist CEO, thinking him a productive hero, realizes her mistake -- and he hits her. She flees into the streets of New York, running blindly, hoping to find some help.
She comes across a social worker, who asks, "What is your guilt? Are you knocked up? A criminal? An addict?"
Cherryl warily replies, "I have no guilt, I am innocent --"
The social worker cuts her off. "Sorry. We have no concern for the pain of the innocent."
And that crack takes away Cherryl's last hope.
Hey, it's a start.
To hell with their faux-ylum claims.
One living citizen, one vote.
We have the best black women, don't we, frens? :~D
The doxxers become the doxxed!
Gotta love it.
Then you are the truly good one, J1D! ;~)
