Summary
A leak of private information purportedly related to an ultra-secret society called “Dialog” founded by PayPal billionaire Peter Thiel has revealed the inner workings of an elite group to which hundreds of global leaders, business executives and billionaires belong. The documents, examined and revealed by Wired this week, show Thiel and investor Auren Hoffman co-founded Dialog in 2006 as a private, invitation-only and “bipartisan” network of influential people in technology, politics, academia, finance, government and beyond. Dialog describes itself as a place for off-the-record relationships among leaders from different fields and ideological backgrounds, and the group hosts at least one in-person retreat per year at at lavish locations like the Ritz-Carlton Dove Mountain in Arizona, the Ritz Carlton in Santa Barbara, California and the San Clemente Palace in Venice.
