CIA Contractor Peter Thiel’s Secret Dialog Society Exposed – Membership List with CFR, Bilderberg & WEF Members Identified
Common Denominator: They are the folks stealing the value of our money while algorithmically censoring information on the DARPA Internet and Building Terminator Robots & Drones
Etienne de la Boetie2
Before we get into the specifics of CIA Contractor Peter Thiel’s secret Dialog Society that has been caught organizing secret meetings with participants from Wall Street, the Federal Reserve, US Government Intelligence agency officials and the heads of the media and AI companies algorithmically censoring information on the DARPA Internet (and building terminator robots and drones!), it is important for the uninitiated to understand the scam of “government. ” It is equally as important to understand how the banks and organized crime interests behind “government” (and the CIA’s Dialog Society) are stealing the value out of everyone’s money forcing them to borrow (or borrow more!) at interest from the same banks making homes, healthcare, and education unaffordable. If you already understand the scam of “government,” fractional reserve banking, and how they are stealing $1.40 million from the average worker ($60K annual salary over 40-year career + 20-year retirement), then you can skip ahead to the specifics of the Dialog Society.
Understanding the Scam of “Government” – A Technique to Rob and Control Societies Indoctrinated into the Population using Mandatory “Government” Schools and Monopoly Media/Academia.
Our thesis at the Art of Liberty Foundation is that “Government” is best thought of as a technique for robbing and controlling populations. It is always illegitimate because it is impossible to have a moral, legitimate “government” because:
You can’t be bound to a “social contract” you didn’t sign
The population can’t delegate a “government” (or representative ) “rights” they don’t possess themselves… If you don’t have the ability to rob your neighbor or make up rules for him YOURSELF, then you can’t “delegate” that to a “government”
It has, essentially been a manufactured belief system that has been indoctrinated into the public using what we refer to as a “Brute Force Manufactured Consensus” of monopoly “government” schools, scouting programs, police/military training, monopoly media, and algorithmic promotion and censorship of the DARPA Internet.
We believe it is the money center banks and their central banks that are using “government” as a technique to rob populations by “legalizing” a scheme called fractional reserve banking that secretly steals the value from the money earned and saved by the population.
Find your income level on this chart to understand how much
the crooked monetary system + government taxation + Social Security underpayment
will cost you over a 40-year career + 20-year retirement
We have calculated that the theft of purchasing power through inflation + government taxation + Social Security underpayment in the US totals $1.4 MILLION dollars from the average worker making $60,000 per year over a 40-year career+ 20-year retirement. Details at ArtOfLiberty.org/Inflation
The theft is significantly more for higher earners ($6.64 Million if you make $250K a Year) and the total has been the Greatest Theft in Human History… Which is the title of my upcoming book on the subject.
The Treasury exacerbates the problem by running trillion-dollar deficits and issuing debt to cover them. When the Federal Reserve monetizes that debt — buying the bonds with newly created dollars through “quantitative easing” — it injects trillions of new dollars into the system, stealing still more value from the dollars earned and saved by the population.
The Fed and the Treasury engage in other activities that are inflationary as well:
Interest on reserves / the Fed’s balance sheet — the Fed paying banks interest on reserves and its general balance-sheet expansion.
The discount window and emergency facilities — 2008 and 2020 backstops created money to bail out the banks.
Under honest money, the average person should be able to afford more and more each year as innovations and productivity improvements reduce the costs of buying the necessities and luxuries of life, but the crooked monetary system has been secretly stealing the value out of everyone’s money reducing the purchasing power while simultaneously causing asset inflation creating something we are calling “The Compound Trap”
We have estimated the theft at between $182 and $255+ TRILLION dollars that have been stolen from the American people alone between 1913 and 2025. This has resulted in unethical “profits” to the money center banks and banking industry alone of between $20-25 TRILLION dollars over the same time frame not including the trillions handed out the back door by “government” for weapons systems we don’t need, ethanol subsidies, corporate welfare, and other criminality, waste, fraud and abuse.
These stolen TRILLIONS have been used to buy up and monopolize the media and major corporations who are operating as a cartel. The ownership appears to be held by asset managers like Blackrock, Vanguard, State Street, Berkshire Hathaway and Brookfield to obscure and hide the individual ownership. The C-level executives appear to be coordinated through front groups like Dialog, the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), Bilderberg, the Trilateral Commission, and the World Economic Forum which allows the cartel to have regular secret meetings in secure facilities around the world.
The Dialog Society Exposes the Coordination
Every once and while “The System” gets exposed and the recent leak of the membership list of CIA Contractor Peter Thiel’s Dialog Society exposed a secret organization meeting regularly whose common denominators are illustrative of the exact dynamic that I just described.
First, Who is Peter Thiel?
Peter Thiel is a gay American billionaire who was San Mateo High valedictorian (1985) and a chess Life Master before earning a B.A. in philosophy from Stanford in 1989, then a J.D. from Stanford Law in 1992. At Stanford he co-founded The Stanford Review in 1987 and was its first editor-in-chief, and that paper became the seed of his entire later network.
The Review received funding from Irving Kristol, the “father of neoconservatism,” who had documented connections to the CIA and the conservative Collegiate Network, then operated by Irving Kristol and William E. Simon’s Institute for Educational Affairs. William E. Simon was the 63rd Secretary of the Treasury under Richard Nixon and a former Wall Street Executive for both Union Securities and Salomon Brothers. The exact Stanford-specific grant has not been publicly documented, although comparable grants generally ranged from a few thousand dollars to roughly $10,000. $10,000 would be around $30,000 in 2026 dollars. The IEA was supported by major conservative foundations, including Olin, Scaife and Smith Richardson. Kristol and Scaife both had separate historical connections to CIA-funded media operations.
Kristol was executive director of the American branch of the Congress for Cultural Freedom (CCF) and then, from 1953 to 1958, co-founded and co-edited the London magazine Encounter. Encounter received covert funding from the CIA, which along with MI6 had discussed creating an “Anglo-American left-of-centre publication” to counter Cold War neutralism — and a CIA official later said the journal could not have survived financially without CIA funds. The New York Times reported the CIA’s funding of the CCF and Encounter in 1966, then Ramparts and the Saturday Evening Post detailed it in 1967, lent credence by former CIA officer Thomas Braden’s article “I’m Glad the CIA is ‘Immoral,’” admitting the CIA had subsidized Encounter through the CCF for more than ten years.
Kristol left the CCF after the revelations and moved to the American Enterprise Institute. Kristol’s next venture, The Public Interest (1965), was initially financed by Warren Demian Manshel, a wealthy investment-banker also involved in the Congress for Cultural Freedom, plus the Olin, Bradley and Smith Richardson foundations who would go on to fund The Stanford Review as well.
Manshel had a Harvard PhD in government and shared an office and a friendship with Henry Kissinger as a teaching fellow at Harvard; he was a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, co-founded the European Options Exchange in Belgium in 1978, co-founded Foreign Policy magazine with Samuel P. Huntington (Trilateral Commission and CFR), and was appointed U.S. Ambassador to Denmark by President Carter, serving 1978–1981.
Thiel also served as president of the Stanford Federalist Society, and shortly after law school worked as a speechwriter for former U.S. Education Secretary William Bennett and clerked for an 11th Circuit judge after interviewing (unsuccessfully) with Justices Scalia and Kennedy.
Thiel co-founded Confinity in 1998, which became PayPal after merging with Elon Musk’s X.com in 2000; he was CEO until eBay bought it for ~$1.5 billion in 2002, spawning a group of early tech executives that has become known as the “PayPal Mafia.” PayPal benefited from government-granted money transmitter licenses.
Facebook is born on the day that DARPA, allegedly, pulls the plug on a program they were running called Lifelog that was doing essentially the same thing that Facebook would go on to do: map the connections between friends, events, relationships, etc. Regina Dugan was DARPA director (2009–2012), then led Google’s Advanced Technology & Projects group (2012–2016), then ran Facebook’s Building 8 (2016–2018)
Thiel goes on to make the first outside investment in Facebook in 2004 — $500K for roughly 10% and a board seat — and founded Founders Fund and the hedge fund Clarium.
Thiel co-founds Palantir in 2003–04 with Alex Karp, Joe Lonsdale, Stephen Cohen, and Nathan Gettings, adapting PayPal’s anti-fraud pattern-detection to allegedly combat terrorism. The CIA’s venture arm In-Q-Tel invested about $2 million — effectively the only outside money. The CIA was Palantir’s first government customer.
Palantir’s software (Gotham, Foundry, and its newer AI Platform) is now embedded across the CIA, Pentagon, ICE, IRS, CDC, Army and multiple other federal agencies. Federal contracts jumped from about $541 million in 2024 to roughly $970 million in 2025, headlined by a July 2025 U.S. Army “Enterprise Agreement” worth up to $10 billion over ten years that consolidates 75 separate contracts into one, plus a $30 million ICE contract for a system called ImmigrationOS and DOGE-linked work on a cross-agency deportation database — all drawing civil-liberties scrutiny. Palantir went public in 2020; Thiel remains chairman.
Beyond BILLIONS in contracts, his government footprint is heavily political and networked. He was Trump’s most prominent Silicon Valley backer in 2016 (a convention speech, ~$1.25M donation, and a transition-team seat), and he is the patron behind the current Vice President — he put roughly $15M behind JD Vance’s 2022 Senate run (and another $15M behind Blake Masters’s Senate Campaign) after employing Vance at his firm. He sits on the Bilderberg Steering Committee, he is a co-founder of the Dialog society with Auren Hoffman, runs the Thiel Fellowship (paying students to skip college), was granted New Zealand citizenship in 2011 after spending only about 12 days in the country, and secretly financed the Hulk Hogan lawsuit that bankrupted Gawker in 2016.
Our theory is that groups like Dialog are where the bankers and government/media puppets meet to coordinate the monopolization of the media, the algorithmic and now AI censorship of information, and police state / surveillance technologies that keep this inter-generational organized crime system in business.
You can find a list of 140 names that have been publicly exposed below cross referenced with their affiliations to three other organized crime front groups, because one of the “Big Reveals” of the Dialog Leak is that many of the members are running their own front groups and “policy shops” where they are having additional secret meetings on a regular basis which is an exponential projection of power much greater than wielded by the identified members.
Sub-groups / Cross-Affiliations of the Dialog Society
The Council on Foreign Relations ( 25% of the exposed members are CFR… 35 members out of 140 if you include Tulsi Gabbard who has been a CFR member but isn’t on the current list while she is serving as DNI)

– Cross-referenced with CFR, Bilderberg, Trilateral Commission, World Economic Forum & Berggruen Institute affiliations
– Intelligently categorized
Dialog is a private, invitation-only network founded in 2006 by Peter Thiel and data entrepreneur Auren Hoffman. It runs both an ongoing paid-membership organization and separate off-the-record retreats attended by members, guests, speakers and prospective recruits. Internal material reportedly describes more than 1,000 paying members and more than 2,500 people who have attended its retreats since 2006.
How many names have been exposed?
There are several different numbers because the leak contained overlapping—but not identical—datasets:
Category 1 — Federal Reserve, Fractional Reserve Banking and US Treasury “Legal” Counterfeiting of US Dollars
· Scott Bessent — U.S. Treasury Secretary — Council on Foreign Relations (verified against current CFR member roster). Not on the official Bilderberg 2026 participant list.
· Robert Rubin — Fmr. Secretary, U.S. Treasury; fmr. Co-Chairman, Goldman Sachs —Co-Chairman Emeritus, Council on Foreign Relations.
· Larry Summers — Former U.S. Treasury Secretary; former president of Harvard University —Bilderberg Meeting participant (2025), Member of the Council on Foreign Relations, and Agenda Contributor and speaker at World Economic Forum, Member Trilateral Commission
· Randy Kroszner — Former Federal Reserve governor; Bank of England Financial Policy Committee, Chair/Vice-Chair/Member of the WEF Global Agenda Council on the Global Financial System 2008–2009 and 2010–2016
Anduril builds autonomous attack and loitering-munition drones, counter-drone systems, and the Lattice AI battle-management software — among the most explicit autonomous-weapons companies in the U.S. defense base.
Palantir’s Gotham and Maven AI platforms generate and prioritize military targets — Karp says the company is “responsible for most of the targeting in Ukraine.” Palantir signed a Jan 2024 strategic partnership with the Israeli Ministry of Defense, and Karp has said “our product is used on occasion to kill people.”
· Peter Thiel — Co-founder/chairman, Palantir; Founders Fund; early Anduril backer. Affiliations: Bilderberg (2007–2016, 2019, 2022, 2024, 2025; 2026 not on official participant list) + Steering Committee (current); WEF Young Global Leader 2007*
Co-founded Palantir and, through Founders Fund, was an early backer of Anduril. Asked about the Lavender targeting system, Thiel said his “bias is to defer to Israel,” underscoring his ownership stake in AI-targeting infrastructure.
· Joe Lonsdale — Co-founder, Palantir; founder, 8VC. No cross-org match found in checked sources.
Co-founded Palantir and runs 8VC, a venture firm that is one of the largest funders of autonomous-defense startups (Anduril, Saronic and others).
· Eric Schmidt — Ex-CEO, Google; Schmidt Futures; CEO, Relativity Space. Affiliations: CFR; Bilderberg (2008–2024 across many years, 2025, 2026) + Steering Committee; Bohemian Grove (leaked 2023 list†)
Chaired the U.S. National Security Commission on AI and the Pentagon’s Defense Innovation Board, and has personally funded military-drone and autonomy ventures — the leading establishment advocate for integrating AI into warfighting. (Also fits the content-moderation bucket via Google.)
· Elon Musk — CEO, Tesla & SpaceX; owner, X; founder, xAI. Intelligence agency, Dept of War, and NASA Contractor with BILLIONS in “government” contracts and tax breaks for his electric vehicles.
Tesla’s Optimus humanoid robot and Full Self-Driving are dual-use autonomy platforms, and SpaceX/Starlink is now critical military communications infrastructure (decisive in Ukraine). “Weaponizable” here is a capability/dual-use observation, not a current weapons product.
· Dan Driscoll (U.S. Army Secretary, Bilderberg 2026), who oversees Army procurement of these systems
These are participants whose companies have large-scale algorithmic content-ranking/moderation power, or who have funded information operations. Capability is documented; whether a given activity is “censorship” is contested and attributed.
· Eric Schmidt — Ex-CEO, Google. Affiliations: CFR; Bilderberg (2008–2024 across many years, 2025, 2026) + Steering Committee; Bohemian Grove (leaked 2023 list†)
Ran Google during the build-out of its search-ranking and YouTube moderation systems and has funded election/information-integrity initiatives — a central figure in any map of algorithmic information control.
· Neal Mohan — CEO, YouTube. Affiliations: CFR
Runs YouTube’s recommendation algorithm and its content-removal and demotion policies — one of the largest content-governance systems on earth, with direct power to amplify or suppress information at scale.
· Yasmin Green — CEO, Jigsaw (a Google incubator).
Leads Jigsaw, a Google unit that builds tools to counter “disinformation,” extremism and “threats to open societies,” and served on the Aspen Institute’s Commission on Information Disorder. Google frames this as countering harm; the Censorship-Industrial-Complex critique reads it as institutionalized content control.
· Tom Lue — Global affairs lead, Google’s frontier-AI division. Gemini’s image generator produced historically absurd and racially biased images due to over-aggressive efforts to force diversity
Leads global affairs and policy for Google’s frontier-AI division, which sets the guardrails and output-filtering for Google’s most powerful models — content governance at the model layer.
Documented funder of social-media influence operations: he financed “Project Birmingham,” a 2017 Alabama false-flag disinformation effort (~$100K via AET/New Knowledge), and the “News for Democracy” Facebook network. Hoffman apologized for Birmingham and said he was unaware of its tactics.
· Jonathan Greenblatt — CEO, Anti-Defamation League. Affiliations: CFR
The ADL flags online content and lobbies platforms over moderation decisions and is frequently cited in censorship-critical reporting; the ADL frames this work as countering antisemitism and hate. Listed for the capability/role, not as an established “censor” (contested).
· Elon Musk — Owner, X. Intelligence agency, Dept of War, and NASA Contractor with BILLIONS in “government” contracts and tax breaks for his electric vehicles.
X performs algorithmic ranking and moderation like any large platform, X content moderation team populated by “Ex” FBI personnel per Alan Macleod/Mint Press News. If the DARPA Internet was Internet 1.0, then Starlink is DARPA Internet 2.0 where profits are being privatized to defense industry insiders.
· Greg Brockman — Co-founder & President, OpenAI; ex-CTO, Stripe. OpenAI (primarily through ChatGPT and related models) has been extensively documented for political bias and content filtering that functions as censorship on certain topics and viewpoints
