With rotating membership in Peter Thiel's top secret society, we have no idea who has attended over the last 20 years, other that to say they were all important people as well as top government officials. But now, we can be certain that the Trilateral Commission dominates with five members: Eric Schmidt, Larry Summers, Anne-Marie Slaughter, Robert Rubin, and Richard Haas.

Now, what Peter Thiel want with the Trilateral Commission? Oh, wait… Thiel is on the Steering Committee of Bilderberg and a long-time associate of the CIA. ? Patrick Wood, Editor.

Dialog — a secretive, invite-only network founded two decades ago by Peter Thiel and Auren Hoffman, the star investors and entrepreneurs — is preparing a major expansion, including a real estate purchase to build a campus in the D.C. suburbs, a tipster familiar with the group's plans tells Axios.

Why it matters: Dialog, often compared to a tech-era Bilderberg, has quietly become one of the most elite, and mysterious, gatherings for CEOs, elected officials, and intellectual heavyweights.

Dialog leaders are in active discussions to buy a physical venue in Virginia, just outside Washington, to serve as a permanent hub for its off-the-record meetings, the tipster says.
