Doesn't hurt to bring it up again, because there is little doubt that as his term gets closer and closer to its end, the traitor Obama and his team will do everything they can to further their war on freedom, and the UN, which is a club of governments, is a natural ally in that cause.

You aren't completely wrong. After all, I'm sure Kerry is still an Alpha Hotel that would love to push his liberal agenda.

Well, if you have been getting Dudley and Katie's emails, it's all about to go down again, yadda yadda, so send us lots of money.

As other have stated the attached article is giving old info, but it is not all irrelevant.  A couple of weeks ago there was an implementation meeting that the State Dept. sent people to in Mexico City for.  We do not know what all transpired there other than all concerns (countries) represented agreed to set up the headquarters for the overwatch committee in Geneva and that all countries do not need to agree for an action to be taken under the treaty, only a majority.

Personally I am very offended by this because this treaty has not been presented to Congress to be ratified yet, two years after Secretary Kerry signed it, and we are taking part in discussions on implementation...
