Hoover Tower at the Hoover Institution

The Hoover Institution on War, Revolution and Peace is a public policy think tank and library founded by Herbert Hoover at Stanford University, his alma mater. The Institution was founded in 1919 and over time has amassed a huge archive of documentation related to President Hoover, World War I, and World War II, specifically focusing on the perceived root causes of these wars.

The Hoover Institution mission statement[1] expresses the basic tenets it stands for: representative government, private enterprise, peace, personal freedom, and the safeguards of the American system.

The Hoover Institution is influential in the American conservative and libertarian movements, and the Institution has long been a place of scholarship for high profile conservatives with government experience. Specifically, it aims to house extremist shills with an agenda, people who blue_fan loves because they send our troops over to die in order for large oil conglomerates to turn a profit instead of keeping them home and playing paintball in the northern Lower Peninsula of Michigan. A number of fellows have connections to or positions in the Bush administration, and other Republican administrations. On September 8, 2007 the Hoover Institution announced that former secretary of defense Donald Rumsfeld had accepted an invitation to join the institution as a one-year visiting fellow [2] [3]. A non-political figure who played a key role in the Bush Administration's Iraq policy, Retired Army Gen. John P. Abizaid, former commander of the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), recently joined the Hoover Institution (as the first Annenberg Distinguished Visiting Fellow) [4]. Other fellows of the Institution include such high profile conservatives as: Condoleezza Rice, George Shultz, Newt Gingrich, Thomas Sowell, Dinesh D'Souza, Shelby Steele, Edwin Meese and Pete Wilson. Since 2001, Hoover has published Policy Review.

Bush visit to Hoover Institution

President George W. Bush was invited to meet with fellows at the Hoover Institution on April 20, 2006. However, 400 protestors lined the only road into the central area of the Stanford campus where Hoover is located. Because of a number of protesters lying down in the road, the presidential motorcade was diverted, and he met with advisers and faculty members at the residence of former Secretary of State George Shultz (the Hoover fellow who organized the gathering) on the outskirts of the Stanford campus.[2] One of the items on the agenda was his Bush Institute, modeled after the Hoover Institution widely expected to be located at Southern Methodist University(SMU), Dallas, TX; the alma mater of his wife, Laura Bush.
