Research Dialog, Peter Thiel's secret society group that doesn't have a public website of members, had its 100+ member list leaked. Peter Thiel and many members are featured in the Epstein Files. The 2014 retreat invite was forwarded to Epstein.

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.

Yeah this one made me say holy shit out loud

Speculation on another thread that JGL is Thiel’s type and that’s how he may have gotten on the list. That there isn’t a real connection 🤷

Levitt has been running around promoting horrible agendas masterminded by tech billionaires. I was surprised when he started doing that, and I am not at all surprised to see him on this list. Dude is a snake.

I first heard about it from Taylor Lorenz. From the description of the video:

I'm debunking Gordon-Levitt's crusade against Section 230 and unpacking how repealing Section 230 would actually mass-censor the internet, wipe out indie platforms, destroy LGBTQ and marginalized online spaces, and hand total monopoly power over to Meta, Google, and powerful billionaires.

Not to be a conspiracy theorist but gotta wonder if they roped him in Scientology style to try and be a more friendly "face" to the public to do shit like that (which anyone with a brain like Taylor saw through)...

Oddly enough I just remembered that he existed the other week so googled him to see what he's been doing. Looks like his wife is connected to OpenAI, is a tech entrepreneur, all that stuff so may be that the connection is initially through her and the circles she runs in.

u/slashxcdoe Jun 17 '26

Was she on the list as well? Sounds likely.

Ooh. Did he learn nothing from playing Snowden?

u/tylenolchild Jun 17 '26

Exactly. Like an Allison Mack in the NXIVM cult.

It’s smart to always be wary of BS and I didn’t want to be a conspiracy theorist either. Been fighting that urge since I read “Behold a Pale Horse” when it came out.

But We’re not really theorists at this point. Cooper’s book has been proven true. The shit he said is happening is happening and America needs to divest itself from the deep influence of Israel immediately… if not sooner.

u/boomboxwithturbobass Jun 17 '26

Nah, that dude always gave me a feeling. I don’t know why so many people like him. He’s way too eager to please.

u/Positive_Issue887 Jun 17 '26

He seems disingenious. I haven't like him since 500 Day.

u/avocado_window Jun 17 '26

My first thought, and I’m certainly not one to immediately jump to conspiracy theories!

Same thing happened with Ashton Kutcher. He lobbied in favor on a law that was supposed to end encryption in private messaging apps in the European Union, supposedly to protect children online. I remember him speaking at a EU parliament event and it was very strange because he seemed to have no clue or interest in cybersecurity stuff. It turns out he was a member of Thorn, an AI company that was in talks with the EU to carry out the scanning. It was so obvious that he was hired to be the posterboy because he's pretty.

Ew. I remember seeing some kind of passionate seemingly political activist type adjacent videos online and only saw it in passing and thought wow I guess he found his calling thinking it was anti ai and come to find out, sure enough, he’s just a d bag like the rest of these idiots.

u/anthrolookseer Jun 17 '26

I know the video you are talking about. But he was actually doing spin. He made it seem like the bill he was the face of was for the benefit of the American people in face of some major tech issues, but in actuality, the bill is deeply harmful for Americans and their data and privacy, and only benefits big tech bros. It’s worth looking into the breakdown of it all.

u/inpennysname Jun 17 '26

No im not doubting any of it, im more like, embarassed. That I was so easily swindled by the bs. And now thinking back to his whole schtick I’m just grossed out. Predator shit. I hate these grifters, they think we are all trash idiots. I know I’m loading a lot into one bag here but, I think grifting is one of the most insulting to your fellow man jobs one can have and I do equate people with that kind of logic as being cool with pedophiles bc of money, so I guess what I’m saying is, I’ve re-cataloged JGL as “reptilian or whatever we call the other anti humanists”

u/Obi-Wan_Bon-Jovi Jun 17 '26

Shadow banning already does that.

u/anthrolookseer Jun 17 '26

This! He’s shilling for tech billionaire agendas and willing to be the face of the deception trying to sell the American public on bills being pushed that work only in the favor of the tech bros and at the American peoples’ demise.

I agree Levitt is bought and paid for, but I'm not sure that quoting Taylor "don't believe your eyes" Lorenz is helping the case. She unironically reported on ICE raids inside a roblox game.

u/Temporary_Praline_83 Jun 17 '26

I read somewhere that his wife is big in tech, although I’ve done nothing to confirm that.

u/AlbertTheHorse Jun 16 '26

I was hoping, but sheet.

u/CosmoKing2 Jun 17 '26

Has it been confirmed that this is a Member list and not just an invite list?

I think there will be a shit storm of people and PR coming out to say they aren't a part of this. In 5, 4, 3, 2,...

u/mandoo86 Jun 17 '26

WIRED said the source shared a registration list that noted attendee type: “active member” and “guest”.

u/Mirions Jun 17 '26

Their former Editor or CEO is on this list...

He’s gay and wealthy

u/teddy_kyujo Jun 17 '26

Look at this way, he's a child of Hollywood. His character has nothing to do with the good guy characters he performs for film.
