        Damn. Reminder that epstein more than likely had boys that he trafficked.

        Politics, culture and economics were frequent topics of discussion between the two men. Other messages outlined plans to meet with Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, film director Woody Allen, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and former Secretary of State Bill Burns, among others.

        The two also met with several CEOs for dinner in Palo Alto in Aug. 2015, which Epstein described as “wild,” including Zuckerberg, Musk, Reid Hoffman ’90, Joi Ito and Ed Boyden Ph.D. ’05.

    I bet those in espionage already knew this feels less like a leak and more so going public indirectly

    Pretty easy to get a boat within 500 yards of the Venetian Isles / Rivo Alto coastline via Biscayne Bay. Just saying.

    A trove of internal records from a secret society for powerful figures in US politics, finance, and tech was left exposed online, naming participants in its events and revealing sensitive personal details they were assured would stay private

    It goes to show website designers can’t follow basic security design protocol even when serving the owner class. We can’t correct for general stupidity.

        This incompetent bunch can’t even secure white house communications.

        And back when the DOJ did a partial Epstein File release they accidentally left the hidden portions accessible for a short while.

        The whole right wing establishment are idiots from top to bottom.

    So if I’m getting this right, dialog was founded in 2006 and have had it’s member list be a secret up until now, where someone discovered an open directory listed in their website’s source code.

    I know these are idiotic nepo babies we’re talking about, but this isn’t exactly some random dude’s vibecoded slop website. Am I crazy for thinking this was deliberate?

      Am I crazy for thinking this was deliberate?

      Yes. This is the “my enemy never makes mistakes” reasoning of conspiracy theorists.

        Idk man, with all the shit going on it wouldn’t surprise me if they needed more fuel for the media distraction circus or something. But sure, they could have just vibecoded without double checking, who knows.

          Yes. People massively fuck up all the time just to create a “media circus”. As though Peter Thiel would have any trouble doing that in any other way.

          Jesus, do you hear yourself?

            Peter Thiel probably isn’t the only one with access, but still, it was only an example, with all the rich pedophiles being blackmailed nothing surprises me anymore.

            Anyway, I’m done arguing here, I only come here to shitpost while on the toilet.

      It absolutely could be.

      Am I crazy for thinking this was deliberate?

      Does Peter Thiel have enemies? Is there something to be gained by making this information public? Absolutely.

      Is the information out here because this super secret society didn’t trust anyone with basic experience to build a proper website? :-/

    I’m sure everything is above board and nobody is colluding to step on the necks of the rest of us plebs.

    “There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can’t take part; you can’t even passively take part, and you’ve got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you’ve got to make it stop. And you’ve got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you’re free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!” — Mario Savio, 1964
