OKLAHOMA CITY –The Confederate debate is heating up once again, and now vandals have taken to defacing confederate soldier monuments at one metro cemetery.

The Sons of Confederate Veterans is a group which only relatives of those who fought in the war can join.

While they recognize that, today, the Confederate Flag is not popular, the group say it’s no excuse for defacing a memorial honoring soldiers who died.

‘Rest in peace’ is the purpose of cemeteries everywhere. But that peace was disturbed sometime Wednesday night into Thursday morning.

“I want to be forgiving, but it really hurts us to have our monuments defaced,” Larry Logan, Past Commander for the Oklahoma Division of the Sons Confederate Veterans said.

Someone took red paint and covered the memorial.

“This is a very special place to us, the confederate monument is here, it’s been here since 1923, there’s 14 Confederate veterans buried right here by the monument,” Logan says.

Logan says he knows all about the controversy surrounding the flag, but says this is different.

“Defacing that is just like defacing a United States memorial, they are considered soldiers by the United States government,” Logan said.

His own family member fought for the South.

“My great grandfather was an 18-year-old farm boy who went to war, Robert E. Lee was his commanding general, he was at Gettysburg, he got his left thumb shot at Gettysburg,” Logan said.

He says he’s upset that someone would disturb these soldiers’ resting place.

“We didn’t lose who our ancestors were, they’re still our family, we still love them and we haven’t lost who we are, we’re descendants of Confederate soldiers and we’re proud of it,” Logan says.

A police report has been filed.

They plan on putting up cameras near the monument to help curb vandals.

I have been waiting a long time for people in this community to decide that enough is enough and contact me with plans to do something in the face of the continual abuses of the federal government. I don’t know what it takes to motivate resistance. We are witnessing the absolute destruction of our society and I know there are those out there who deplore the changes taking place in our society, but none who are motivated to act.

I know there are those who are thinking locally and who are developing strong communication systems, who are busy building the skills of their tribe. And while that is absolutely commendable and to be honest, one of the systems upon which I will rely when the SHTF, there needs to be more.  There needs to be an actual resistance, an actual leader who is willing to stand up, with the weight of those dedicated to liberty and confront the actions being taken in our name.

Our federal debt has been frozen at just over $18 trillion. $18 trillion.  We have our government planning: taking actual steps and planning to “bail in” the banks when the next financial crisis hits. WHEN, not if, the next banking crisis erupts. In other words, they plan to take your money, your wages for your hard work, and apply it to their bad debts, their bad investments.  They will take the wages you have earned with your labor and give it to the banks to keep them solvent. At what point do you look in the mirror and say that this is wrong and that you will do something about it? How ugly does it have to get? How screwed to you have to be to resist the rapist?

We are not in unique times, these sorts of things happen to Cyprus, to Greece all the time. It will happen to Portugal, Spain and others as time goes on and it can happen to the US at any moment. When they do it, when they decide it is time to take your hard-earned wages and apply them to those who have made bad debts and bad decisions, what are you prepared to do? What is your plan of action? Who do you go after? Who do you make pay for that transgression? Who is your target?
