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.

The decision to buy land, then build, within commuting distance of the capital shows the group isn’t just kissing President Trump’s ring, but plans to be engaged in Washington long after this term.

    While this shit is deeply corrupt and obviously bad news for anyone planning to be living in the United States for the next 30-50 years, I can’t get over how a bunch of guys whispering “The Deep State!”, “The Cathedral!”, “The Secret Sex Dungeon Under Comic Pizza!” have internalized their conspiracy theories so deeply that they literally think this is how administrations are supposed to operate.

    We’re going to have Masonic Lodge shit back in vogue before the end of the decade, at this rate. Complete with secret hand shakes and silly hats and weirdo hazing rituals.
