Readers might remember the secretive Bilderberg Society or the Bohemian Grove where elites of the Epstein class would meet to chat and map out their eternal oligarchical rule. In 2006, Palantir’s founder Peter Thiel cofounded Dialog, a private, invitation-only organization that brings together investors, bankers, US officials, foreign government figures (notable EU warhawk Kaja Kallas), and Silicon Valley executives at off-the-record annual retreats.
On June 16, investigative media outlet WIRED got a hold on the leaked list of the 222 participants scheduled to meet at a Dialog event on Aug. 12-16 in Ireland.
According to WIRED, “The registration records list General Alexus Grynkewich, NATO’s supreme allied commander Europe and the head of US European Command, … 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.”
Among those, a cluster of Google and Google DeepMind executives, among them Tom Lue, who leads global affairs for the company’s frontier AI division, and one working journalist, Souad Mekhennet, a national security correspondent for The Washington Post.
Analyst Gerardo Spagnuolo, writing on the website of [NATO Defense College Foundation](https://www.natofoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/NDCF-Spagnuolo-Dialog-Anduril-Palantir-r-1.pdf
) said some time ago that the participants of Dialog include “bi-partisan, albeit heavily libertarian-leaning.”
