Perhaps you've encountered the stories about Dialog, an extremely weird secret society associated with Peter "Antichrist" Thiel, whose membership data and details have leaked this week: www.wired.com/story/how-pe... 1/

An outlandlishly attired, spear-clutching secret society, ca. 1900. Their faces have all been replaced with the face of Peter Thiel, except for the middle one, who has Jeffrey Epstein's face.
