With all of the leaks over the last 11 years, it's also surprising that we STILL haven't seen the Security Directive which requires identity cards (unless I'm mistaken?). Secret laws are another meme the USA has adopted from the USSR, it seems.
It still astounds me that John Gilmore lost his court fight for anonimity (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilmore_v._Gonzales) and that the USA joined the USSR as a "papers please" society.
It's been more than a day, and nobody has yet noted that this is the Prenda business model, or that the appeals court used similar language as Judge Wright? How can this be?
"so if NASA gets to the better ones first, the US will occupy some of the best space real estate."
You don't sit at the Lagrange points, you orbit them. There is LOTS of space available for doing that, so getting there first does not prevent others from using the same Lagrange point. There have already been several spacecraft at the Earth-Moon L1 and L2 points, and many more are planned.

Did John Steele teach Rothschild his secrets?

Occupy Lagrange Points
You don't sit at the Lagrange points, you orbit them. There is LOTS of space available for doing that, so getting there first does not prevent others from using the same Lagrange point. There have already been several spacecraft at the Earth-Moon L1 and L2 points, and many more are planned.
