OK, so I just learned elsewhere that there's a secret group run by Peter Thiel (https://dialog.org/) for fancy people who want to be able to talk to each other 'off the record'.
Friends. If you go to the website, and open 'developer tools' in your browser, go to 'inspector' and drill down in the dom you will find a plain text list of members of this group.
There are something like 113 fancy people.
I will list them in this thread.

@msbellows here's the unrolled thread: https://mastoreader.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fc.im%2F%40msbellows%2F116757595087191721
Next time, kindly set the visibility to 'Mentioned people only' and mention only me (@mastoreaderio). This ensures we avoid spamming others' timelines and threads unless you intend for others to see the unrolled thread link as well.
Thank you!
Amazing how many of them are also in the Epstein files.
Thank you. The only one Iβm kind of surprised by is Tom Tugendhat, but I guess heβs a useful foot in the door with parliament if they want to lever something. The rest reads like a Tim ferris podcast history.
We donβt need davos or bilderberg, theyβre doing it themselves.
Cory Booker?!?!
Smh.
@amyfou Nice work, thanks.
I just wanted to note, for the benefit of the gathering lynch mob, that being on Thiel's list does not mean they asked to be on Thiel's list, or that they have participated even once in the "dialog".
