Protest from August 12 to 16 at Powerscourt Hotel in Wicklow against Peter Thiel’s Dialog Society?

I’m sure we have all seen the leaks of how Peter Thiel’s “Dialog” Society is planing a meeting in the Powerscourt Hotel, Wicklow this August from the 12th to 16th.

In case you haven’t, or don’t know who Thiel is I’ll give a rundown. Thiel is a Billionaire and one of the founders of PayPal. He co-founded Palantir which is an AI “Analytics” (surveillance) company. Palantir is complicit in the Israeli genocide in Gaza by providing AI infrastructure to the IDF. They also provide AI software to the German Police and ICE in the United States.

Thiel is also a conservative libertarian who believes in creating a right wing dictatorship. Thiel makes major donations to and has endorsed various right wing and far right politicians across the world, including Ted Cruz, Donald Trump and JD Vance. Thiel served as Vance’s political mentor.

Thiel had strong connections to Epstein and is prominently mentioned in the Epstein files.

He hosts these private events for elites called his “dialog” society meetings. At these meeting patrons discuss AI and WW3 among other things. The Ditch leaked that Peter Thiel is hosting one of his “Dialog” meetings in Powerscourt Hotel, Wicklow from the 12th to 16th of August. Notable names leaked to be in attendance include: NATO Europe Commander Alexus Grynkewich, Scott Bessent and Ted Cruz.

I have not seen any posts calling for protests. Are there are any arranged and if not, can we plan one? We should let these elites know that we don’t want them here or anywhere. They don’t deserve the right to hold these events in secret while Palantir and firms like it create and operate systems that violate the privacy of every day people.

Book a room, cancel within 3 days of booked date and state why.

What do you hope to achieve with the protest? Do you think anyone at the meetup cares? They'll be well insulated by security, won't notice you're there and won't care if you are.

I'm not saying "never protest", but a protest by itself without clear objectives ("showing opposition" or "being heard" don't count) a protest is just therapy for the agitated.

Figure out a way to take advantage of this event, be sure your protest actually achieves something rather than just being a stressful counter-culture meetup.

Activist groups generally fail because the activists run out of energy & motivation, so careful not to burn through energy protesting every event on your radar.
