Le Cercle remains very little exposed as of 2021, and has needed little cover-up as a result. This is as a result of its extreme focus on secrecy and size from its inception; it attempted to be a nameless, permanently off-the-record affair.
Name confusion
The group attempted to be a nameless, permanently off-the-record group, and has had various names over the years, including the "The Cercle", the "Pinay Group", the "Pinay Circle" and the "Cercle Pinay". Its short lived website called it the domain name atlanticcircle.com. This website has chosen the name "Le Cercle", which is probably the most widely used as of 2019.
1950s
In the early years of the group, meetings were limited to no more than 20 participants, all of whom could make themselves understood in the French language, so there was no need for interpreters. The fact that so many of the guests had their hands on the levers of power reduced the need for non-members to know anything about the group.[1]
2000s
The Guardian
CAAT reported that The Guardian claimed that the group is not influential.[2]
