The Dialog Society Leak
Dialog, founded by billionaire Peter Thiel and data broker Auren Hoffman, is an ultra-exclusive, invite-only social club that hosts off-the-record retreats for high-profile elites in tech, media, and government. An online directory of past participants and registrants, inadvertently exposed in the website's code, was published. The leak revealed a tiered membership status and a hidden ranking system used to gauge the "value-add" of attendees. [1, 2, 3, 4,

Wes Moore's Involvement
When the directory surfaced, Maryland Governor Wes Moore was identified on the list, prompting scrutiny. Moore’s office stated that his involvement consisted only of a single appearance to promote his book, The Other Wes Moore, and that it happened years ago. However, leaked documents and independent investigations—such as reporting from Wired—indicated his ties to the organization were still documented in their orbit. [1, 2, 4]
Parkrose Permaculture's Response
Angela Baker, creator of the popular Parkrose Permaculture education platform, discussed the leaked lists and the involvement of prominent figures. Commenting on the controversy, she publicly addressed the discrepancy between Gov. Moore's statements distancing himself from Thiel and the lingering traces found in the leaked Dialog records. She advocated for verifying the exact nature of public figures' associations with billionaire networks and demanded transparency from those involved. [1, 2, 3]
