We've been developing and using weapons against space-based targets since at least 1985 - malfunctioning satellites are destroyed with anti-satellite missiles of multiple varieties with relative frequency.

Most of the other payment companies out there are saying They bowed to pressure from the US state department. You would think companies would have some scruples to stand up to bullying or people to actually go after the people orchestrating this.

As it stands, it tarnishes supporters of Wikileaks, but hopefully some good will come of this.

Anyways, one of the reasons for mankind not moving forward. People keeping secrets and telling lies, all in the name of......you guessed it......money.
