Robert Strong and the Soros connection
Google

Posted on 09/11/2004 12:06:49 PM PDT by Cosmic

Does anyone have any further information on the identity of the Robert Strong featured on the CBS segment on the TANG memos. I Googled Robert Strong and came up with a man of that name who is a professor at Washington & Lee University, and who is that school's administrator of the Paul & Daisy Soros New Americans foundation. The foundation is a subsidiary of the Open Society Institution funded and operated by George Soros, the infamous bank-roller of the left-wing 527s. To judge by Strong's brief comments on the CBS segment, he seems to be of a left-wing frame of mind.

One of the blogs already tracked this down. The Washington Lee professor is a different Strong.

THank you-would be very worthwhile to determine if this is the same Mr. Strong!

If he is associated with GEORGE SOROS....this is a STORY THAT NEEDS TO BE TOLD ASAP!

I will send this out to favorite media folks and let's see if we can match Strong to Soros...

What a pitiful excuse for a journalist dan rather truly is...and what a creepy organization CBS news is....

I don't know that man personally, but as a W&L alum, I can tell you that W&L is just about as conservative as it comes.

Just for illustration, in the student hierarchy, the President of the College Republicans is listed above the President of the Student Body.

Well, I'll put a plug in for W&L. It's a great place, and a fine institution of learning.

Ok. Thanks. But it still would not hurt to research this man's background....understanding Mapes roll in that horror show that called itself investigative reporting by dan rather just chills me.

Kinda hard to believe that Soros would have anything to do with a conservative university! Curiouser and curiouser...

Hey--I am still reeling from Mapes calling Hodges and stating that the memos in her hands were HANDWRITTEN!

He had NO REASON to suspect otherwise, did not know that they might be forged documents, and felt inclined, as all of us would, to say 'well if he wrote this, it must have been how he felt' or words to that effect.

CBS News is a CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE, imho. Period.

Lying to the American people about a sitting President, attempting to throw an election, hurting the family of a dead Colonel upon who these memos are attributed JUST STINKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't remember calling him. Yesterday I spoke with document forensics expert Philip Bouffard.

There are other Robert Strongs who are college professors. One is a poetry professor at the University of Denver. Another is a finance professor at the University of Maine. I think the Denver Robert Strong is too young to have served in Texas. The Maine Robert Strong graduated from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in 1972, and likely didn't serve in Texas.

Robert Strong is a fairly common name. There are others.

The CBS Robert Strong is now back away from his statements to Rather.

And the unraveling continues.

It was me that called Professor Strong and he claimed that he was not "the" Robert Strong.

Here's an earlier thread where we were working on the Robert Strong angle: Who Is Robert Strong?

Someone notices the Soros angle, and I called him to see if he was the right guy. He claimed he wasn't so we backed off. That is a short thread, you might want to read it.

The Denver and Maine guys did not appear to be possibilities.
