Famous astronomer admits to SB ties
22nd September 2008
Aleksander Wolszczan, a world-renowned Polish astronomer and professor, has admitted to being an informant for the Communist Security Services
Aleksander Wolszczan, a world-renowned Polish astronomer and professor at Pennsylvania State University who is credited with the discovery of the extrasolar and the pulsar planets, has admitted to being an informant for the Communist Security Services (SB) in the 1970s and 1980s. The archives of the Institute of National Remembrance show that he was active as an agent under the code name "Lange" and wrote reports about fellow scientists and opposition leaders from Toruń.
He admitted that nobody had blackmailed him or forced him to cooperate with the SB. In a written statement he claimed that, when asked by the SB about certain people, he said little, spoke generally, or said nothing at all. He treated the meetings with SB officers as a "part of life's inconveniences" during those times. Wolszczan also admitted to accepting money and presents for his information.

Just my opinion... That's pretty unsettling. I wonder if he has any ties to Ayers, some of his bomb-crafting pals, or The Obama.

If he does he'll be under the bus with the rest of The Obama's friends...assuming the rest of the MSM ever picks up on this story.

Well, I suspect that Penn State will announce an awards ceremony to honor this guy's contributions any day now. If CNN or any other media outlets pick up on this Poland story, they'll be certain to spin it in a positive light.

He's probably already on the Nobel Peace Prize short list...with good company like Algore, Jimmy Carter, and Yassir Arafat...
