Dear Friends,
As we settle down to enjoy this Christmas holiday, we all need to pray for our country and our President as both have been under unabated siege for the past 4 years. We have reached a critical juncture in our country’s history and we as citizens of the greatest experiment the world has ever known called America are about to find out if we can keep this Republic. This fraudulent takeover of our country by the liberal media, RINO Republicans, and the socialist democrats must be stopped or this will be the turning point of life as we have known it for 244 years.
If you can attend the rally on Jan 6th, please do and support President Trump. If you can’t, give a call to your senators and congressman and let them know how you feel about this fraudulent voting that took place in this recent election. If you want to keep your freedoms, you are going to have to fight for them because this has all the makings of a takeover and if we don’t nip it in the bud, it will be the end of America as we have known it.
We at the Gem State Patriot want to thank you for reading our newsletter/Blog and hope you will continue to in 2021 as you are not going to get very much truth from the regular media. I want to apologize for not writing much in the past 4 months as I have been building a new home in the very conservative county of Adams and hope to finish sometime in January and will be back to writing on a full-time basis. To all of you who have been generous enough to support our cause, we would like to thank you. I would also like to thank Dr. John Livingston for all of his efforts in writing the many interesting articles that many of you have read and hope he will continue on in the coming year.
The staff and writers would like to extend our best wishes to you all for a very Merry Christmas and a healthy and prosperous New Year. We hope you will continue to support us with your patronage.
May God Bless you all and May God Bless America.

When Saul of Tarsus set out on his journey to Damascus the whole of the known world lay in bondage. There was one state, and it was Rome. There was one master for it all, and he was Tiberius Caesar. Everywhere there was civil order, for the arm of the Roman law was long. Everywhere there was stability, in government and in society, for the centurions saw that it was so.
But everywhere there was something else, too. There was oppression — for those who were not the friends of Tiberius Caesar. There was the tax gatherer to take the grain from the fields and the flax from the spindle to feed the legions or to fill the hungry treasury from which divine Caesar gave largess to the people. There was the impressor to find recruits for the circuses. There were executioners to quiet those whom the Emperor proscribed. What was a man for but to serve Caesar?
There was the persecution of men who dared think differently, who heard strange voices or read strange manuscripts. There was enslavement of men whose tribes came not from Rome, disdain for those who did not have the familiar visage. And most of all, there was everywhere a contempt for human life. What, to the strong, was one man more or less in a crowded world?
Then, of a sudden, there was a light in the world, and a man from Galilee saying, Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s and unto God the things that are God’s.
And the voice from Galilee, which would defy Caesar, offered a new Kingdom in which each man could walk upright and bow to none but his God. Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. And he sent this gospel of the Kingdom of Man into the uttermost ends of the earth.
So the light came into the world and the men who lived in darkness were afraid, and they tried to lower a curtain so that man would still believe salvation lay with the leaders.
But it came to pass for a while in divers places that the truth did set man free, although the men of darkness were offended and they tried to put out the light. The voice said, Haste ye. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness come upon you, for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
Along the road to Damascus the light shone brightly. But afterward Paul of Tarsus, too, was sore afraid. He feared that other Caesars, other prophets, might one day persuade men that man was nothing save a servant unto them, that men might yield up their birthright from God for pottage and walk no more in freedom.
Then might it come to pass that darkness would settle again over the lands and there would be a burning of books and men would think only of what they should eat and what they should wear, and would give heed only to new Caesars and to false prophets. Then might it come to pass that men would not look upward to see even a winter’s star in the East, and once more, there would be no light at all in the darkness.
And so Paul, the apostle of the Son of Man, spoke to his brethren, the Galatians, the words he would have us remember afterward in each of the years of his Lord:
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
