'''The Independent Institute''' (TII) is a non-partisan, scholarly, public policy research organization that was founded in 1986 by David J. Theroux, who is also the president of the [[think tank]].
TII has been a vocal opponent of the "war on drugs", immigration restrictions, corporate welfare, censorship, the neoconservative ("Bush Doctrine") of pre-emptive war, restrictions on reproductive rights, and the death penalty. In so doing, it contests policies based on scientifically discredited findings, such as the view of the need to curb greenhouse gas emissions through measures that would actually enrich various special interests and harm the world's poor.[http://www.uoguelph.ca/~rmckitri/research/trc.html][http://energycommerce.house.gov/108/Hearings/07192006hearing1987/Wegman.pdf#search=%22Wegman%20Scott%20Yasmin%22][http://climatesci.atmos.colostate.edu/2006/06/12/christy-and-spencer-report]
