PerpetratorsBilderberg/Steering committee
DescriptionThe 4th Bilderberg meeting, with 147 guests, in contrast to the generally smaller meetings of the 1950s. Has two Bilderberg meetings in the years before and after

The 1956 Bilderberg Meeting was the 4th such meeting and the first in Denmark. It had participants from Europe, the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. It was held at Fredensborg, Denmark. The next Bilderberg was the February 1957 Bilderberg.

Meeting size

The size of the 1956 Bilderberg was unusually large; the meeting size was apparently still being researched. The previous meeting, the September 1955 Bilderberg Meeting was attended by 78 men. The 147 guests included 36 business executives, 46 politicians, 6 financiers, 6 editors/journalists and 9 academics. The next meeting was the 1957 February Bilderberg, which had just 75 guests.

Contributors

Richard A. Gard wrote a speech entitled Asia and the west in the free world.[1]

Agenda

As of November 2017, the report of the 1956 Bilderberg has not yet been leaked online. However, the website at Bilderberg Meetings has the following agenda:

1. Review of developments since the last Conference

2. The causes of the growth of anti-Western blocs, in particular in the United Nations

3. The role played by anti-colonialism in relations between Asians and the West

4. A common approach by the Western world towards China and the emergent nations of South and East Asia

5. The communist campaign for political subversion or control of the newly emancipated countries of Asia

6. How the West can best meet Asian requirements in the technical and economic fields

Guest list

The guest list includes the name of Guerin De Beaumont, who died in October 1955, suggesting that it was chosen over 6 months before the event.

Exposure

The guest list of the 1956 Bilderberg was found among Hugh Gaitskell's papers and posted on the internet.
