NEW YORK, July 17, 2013 – Gatestone Institute (www.gatestoneinstitute.org), a think tank dedicated to educating the public about the American ideals of freedom and democracy around the world, announced today that Ambassador John R. Bolton will serve as Chairman.

"Gatestone Institute is honored to have Ambassador Bolton as its Chairman," said Gatestone Institute Founder and President Nina Rosenwald. "After years of service as a dedicated advocate for democracy, human rights and justice, no one understands better than he does the importance of Gatestone's mission to inform the public about threats to individual liberties at home and abroad that the mainstream media too often ignore."

"I am privileged to be a part of an organization that provides vital information and analysis on a daily basis to address the critical issues facing the United States and all freedom-loving people in a dangerous world," said Ambassador Bolton. "I look forward to working with other Board members of Gatestone Institute, and its distinguished writers and scholars to ensure awareness and understanding of those issues."

Before serving as the United States Permanent Representative to the United Nations (2005-2006), Ambassador Bolton was Undersecretary of State for Arms Control and International Security (2001-2005). Bolton also served in the administrations of President Ronald Reagan and President George H. W. Bush. His many accomplishments include the rescission of the UN's 1975 "Zionism is racism" resolution, U.S. renunciation of the International Criminal Court and the establishment of the Proliferation Security Initiative. Ambassador Bolton is a Senior Fellow with the American Enterprise Institute and a Fox News contributor.

It is indeed a great leader who has taken the reins of a democracy-supporting institute when we are expecting worldwide anarchy and disasters. This group should support people in regions where Christians are marginalized on account of nationalist agendas.

Congratulations to both the Gatestone Institute and Amb. Bolton. This man should eventually be US President, but due to his straightforwardness, honesty, integrity, and no-BS stances, the media will do it's best to do him injury. For now, as head of Gatestone, all of us will benefit. Great selection, and I look forward to further in-depth analyses from this great institute!

A lot of people tend to forget that Lady Liberty is standing up and bearing the torch of Freedom: Israêl is in the south what America is in the north. Mr. Bolton will surely remind us of it and continue to work this way, here too, in his bold tone.
