SO WHAT DOES, MERRY CHRISTMAS vs HAPPY HOLIDAYS HAVE TO DO WITH HOLDING THE VIRGINIA PRISON OFFICIAL ACCOUNTABLE, COME TO FIND OUT A LOT By William Thorpe



Man there are so many word flips I could've titled this work with, each making the same point: which is when a Society is fast approaching its Super Nova moment, the first things to go are the fissures, which, when healthy, fulfill and satisfy the social physics of contraction and expansion and are held and kept in place by the counter balancing equilibrium of the center must hold gravity of competing interests and that accompanying inherent accountability-function necessary and a must for survival. But when that socio physics of contraction and expansion or its more recognizable presence as Contradictions and Antagonisms, treats its necessary for survival and existence accountability-function as a nuisance and impediment, what we encounter are that proverbial fiddling as Rome burns expressed as an inordinate expenditure of energies on the production of for example, a sophistry cataloguing electoral activity and its accountability-function on the terms of if one says Merry Christmas vs Happy Holidays, a par none existence of Social inanities, insidiously serving the function and purpose of distracting and working double time at distorting the fact that the accountability-function or rule of law, its due process and fair administration, necessary and a requisite for the survival and existence of the people as THE BUSINESS OF BEING HUMAN is pursued and realized, has been tossed aside, because its much easier to enslave than to exercise the prescience and mental acuity of recognizing and its value, that when all in the boat are rowing in the same direction and not out of the lash of the whip and its inducing idealistic fear, but of the cognition and understanding that "we are all in the boat together, equal under the consequence of rocking it", which for that ingenious and economic purpose, of freeing up brain space for other realizations, we have embodied as the ACCOUNTABILITY-FUNCTION. So what Merry Christmas vs Happy Holidays have to do with holding the Virginia prison official accountable, is everything, because it reveals to what extent, as the People we are cognizant of the fact that when we all are subordinate to and subject to a norm of accountability, each according to terms of equality of process, whether we are able to pursue maximally, to the constructive realization of our existence and person hood, isn't dependent on the dictatorial presumptions and its antagonisms of whether you greeted and recognized your fellow human in Society, which for purposes of this work, the Commonwealth of Virginia, with Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays.

THE VIRGINIA PRISON OFFICIAL GETS HIS/HER CUE FROM THE PETTY-TYRANNICAL SOPHISTRY OF THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES: A CASE STUDY By William Thorpe

 

In a December 4, 2025 decision, the six reactionaries on the SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES, namely Chief Justice ROBERTS, THOMAS, ALITO, GORSUCH, KAVANAUGH and BARRETT reminded us in a case ABBOTT v. LULAC 2025 U.S. LEXIS 4484, why "ideology" isn't fit as guide for stability in a Social Contract requiring the socialization and democratization of terms and divisions of labor for existence, along with the fact that the enforcers of such terms and divisions of labor, the organized violence of the state, specifically the Justice Infrastructure and the prison official, which the focus of this work identifies as The Virginia Prison Official, take their cue from the sophistry of reaction and its intellectual-liberalism, actualized and realized as petty-tyranny. I BEGIN: George Floyd a black Man was murdered on March 25, 2020 by a Minneapolis cop, Derek Chauvin. The killing and murder of George Floyd exposed and revealed why, as I initially posited that "ideology" isn't fit as guide for stability in a Social Contract requiring the socialization and democratization of terms and divisions of labor for existence, because in George Floyd we find and encounter the embodiment and entire universe of all that is ideologically contradictory and the inherent existence of antagonisms of the socialization and democratization of Social Contract terms and Labor divisions. Because the killing and murder of George Floyd wasn't mechanically due to the 9 minutes of dehumanization from the force and pressure of Derek Chauvin's knee on Mr. Floyd's neck, but it was the continuum of machinations of centuries upon centuries of ideological contradictions and the dehumanizing antagonisms of, again centuries upon centuries of the socialization and democratization of Social Contract terms and labor divisions, which ruptured into a National Speech of reckoning, a resolution following Mr. Floyd's death while concurrently also erupting in an International speech that saw Mr. Floyd's murder not as a specificity but a result of ideological contradictions and antagonisms of Social Contract terms and divisions of labor that also anticipated historical reckoning and resolution. The six named reactionaries on the Supreme Court Of The United States whose decision in ABBOTT v. LULAC reminds us of the folly of ideology and its intellectual-liberalism, have presented us with an example that doesn't require much by way of expounding to show the petty-tyranny of its sophistry save to add that it also reveals the wisdom of our ancestral admonishment against the intoxication of ideology and zealotry. ABBOTT v. LULAC is a case that is at odds with the Constitution of The United States, in other words it presents claims of acts violating Law, particularly "racial gerrymandering" by Texas Republicans at the behest of Donald Trump. Ideology emerges as the animating motive of the decision making of the six reactionaries on the Supreme Court, but the reason it presents a cue to for example the Virginia prison official as guide to the mechanics of, impunity is the sophistry employed and deployed by the reactionaries in question, when we are given this as basis of their decision. "TEXAS HAS ALSO MADE A STRONG SHOWING OF IRREPARABLE HARM AND THAT THE EQUITIES AND PUBLIC INTEREST FAVOR IT".Isn't the issue racial gerrymandering and since when is "harm" to a faction in an undemocratic and unlawful quest an "equities and public interest"?

THE PROBLEM IS WE PAY LIP SERVICE TO ACCOUNTABILITY AND WHEN WE DO PURSUE IT, WE DO IT SELECTIVELY By William Thorpe

 


Pictures are taken from the internet and are used for illustrative purposes only
No one denies or disputes that the issue and question of the Virginia Prison Official is that of Accountability, whether is its realization and pursuit or lack and of all the issues and questions we deal with and encounter as an inherent factor of our Human Condition, Accountability should be the least as issue, because whether it is thesis or antithesis, the dynamic of its presence and existence is synonymous with the genomic blocks of our lives as an ever present quadratic. Yet as objective of the Social Contract and its terms, it is bane and a nemesis. If Justice is the "fair administration of law" and if "fair and fairness" are again, a necessary quadratic for the existence and survival of the Human Being, because it doesn't take much to realize and recognize that we'll brain ourselves out of existence were fair and fairness not material fixtures and participant in our objective socialization and relations, which euphemistically is the accountability-function of objectivity, the glue holding and maintaining that equilibrium of purpose as The People, which again is ever present in our one on one individual interactions, so its resolution then, as a "For Itself" fact stands as our mature recognition that it is a necessary development for that aspirational materialization of our Social Contract embodied existence. I want to highlight how we undermine and regardless of intent, sabotage the pursuit of accountability. Recently 60 Minutes, an Investigative Feature of CBS News canned a feature interrogating the practices and conditions at El Salvador's CECOT described Mega Prison, where The Trump Administration had exported Venezuelans. The 60 Minutes Story which despite being censored in The U.S. was publicized in Canada. The feature was a collaboration with Human Rights Watch and the work of Students at The University of California-Berkeley's Digital Lab. The significance this story has to this work is it illustrates an aspect of, accountability, that even as it purports to pursue it in one form and level, it negates it as a general principle, and that typically is characterized as hypocrisy. I BEGIN: There is nothing about El Salvador's CECOT Prison, that in principle and in relative practice isn't in existence as condition and circumstance in Virginia's Level 4, 5 and 6 Prisons and Virginia isn't out on a limb, but all State Prison Systems, including The Federal Bureau of Prisons are El Salvador's CECOT, in one form or another. I'm not contra any focus on El Salvador's CECOT and its value to the current National political speech and analysis. My vantage is simple, critique of CECOT, shouldn't exist as another typical idealistic exercise as exception when it isn't, but is a fact of the principle. HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH did an exposé on Virginia's Koncentration Kamp Red Onion State Prison (Super-Max) when it opened in 1998, as it also exposed Indiana's Super-Max conditions and imprisonment circumstances. But we don't have to rely only on HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH, UC-BERKELEY Students or 60 Minutes, all we have to do is, not even a hard study, but merely peruse our Law Books, chronicling what the American Prisoner has said and had to say about prison conditions and imprisonment circumstances. Yes conditions at El Salvador's CECOT are abject, but when we talk about accountability and Human Rights Standards, the critique isn't mere analysis of "worse", because analysis and its accountability-function isn't to apologize for and excuse the general principle, but, critique exist and is intended to "resolve", because there are always "reasons" to be exploited and corrupted justifications.

A 2025 YEAR END SHOUT OUT TO THOSE MINDS AND HEARTS WHO HAVE RESOLUTELY AND STEADFASTLY STOOD WITH US THE VIRGINIA PRISONER By William Thorpe

I Begin first with this apology, all Virginians who have the designation, Family, Loved One and Friend of an imprisoned Virginian, whether within the borders of the Commonwealth of Virginia or that special category of shipped out of state to another States Prison System, I don't know who you individually are, but collectively the solidarity and recognition this SHOUT OUT presents is also yours and with that WE ARE IN STRENGTH. The Minds and Hearts who have stood with the Virginia Prisoner in 2025 are diverse and unique as their contributed energies and resources, each according to their abilities, devoted and directed towards the realization of the simple Social Contract proposition, that the Virginia prisoner as a creation of Law as such the law in its embodiment and personification in the Virginia Prison Official who is tasked with the privilege, bestowed by the People of Virginia, their idea of imprisonment as function of their Justice Application must do their duties and be Accountable under and within the professional morality and ethics of compliance with the Law. This Shout Out, isn't the vehicle to present that analysis of the obvious dysfunction within Virginia's Social Contract and its terms that is necessitating that these unelected minds and hearts, focus of this Shout Out are doing what our elected leaders and legislators who are Constitutionally oath bound should be doing.

A 2025 SHOUT OUT TO THOSE DOING THE PEOPLES WORK OF HOLDING THE VIRGINIA PRISON OFFICIAL ACCOUNTABLE Stacey Thorpe of VIRGINIA PRISONS ACCOUNTABILITY COMMITTEE (vapac) is an indomitable and tireless voice in advancing that simple proposition that:the Virginia Prison Official isn't above the law, We Salute her In Strength. Kevin Jeanes of PRISON TOKS is a force of nature, relentless in his advocacy for the Virginia prisoner, We Salute him In Strength. Dawn Bryant of CCCAN is resolute in the understanding that imprisonment isn't an excuse for the Virginia Prison official to exercise sadistic urgings on the Virginia prisoner, We Salute her vigilance In Strength. Sandy Hausman of RADIO IQ has shown what journalism covering the Virginia Prison official is and means, as opposed to the propaganda shills of Virginia's Corporate Media, We Salute her In Strength. Annette Blankenship of VIRGINIA PRISONS ACCOUNTABILITY COMMITTEE (vapac) is proof that information is the great instructor and her tireless contributions have empowered a many loved ones of the Virginia prisoner with necessary perspectives,We Salute her In Strength. Kimberley Snodgrass of IAHR epitomizes the Mother of a Son imprisoned under the savage and barbarous conditions of Virginia Prisons and will not be silenced nor muted, because she understands as a Veteran that Constitutional Oath and its No One is Above Law and its Accountability, We Salute her In Strength. Karen Morrison is a Parole Advocate who articulates the truism that parole is an inherent component and aspect of Virginia's imprisonment scheme, even when certain Virginia Politicians due to the short sightedness of political opportunity have conveniently compromised and forgotten its enlightenment and civilizing function. We Salute her In Strength. Pastor Harvey Yoder of THE VALLEY JUSTICE COALITION is a tireless voice reminding us that the "Faith" our Virginia political leaders profess shouldn't be a performative, academic and theological exercise but its redemptive anticipations relative to the Virginia prisoner are practical according to their held tenets.We Salute him In Strength. Margaret Breslau of THE VIRGINIA PRISON JUSTICE NETWORK stands with the Virginia prisoner, We Salute her In Strength. 2025 IN SOLIDARITY

IT TAKES ALL OF US TO GET THE VIRGINIA PRISON OFFICIAL TO STOP PLAYING US BECAUSE THEY CLAIM THEY DO WHAT THEY DO NOT JUST IN OUR NAME BUT FOR US By William Thorpe

Pictures are taken from the internet and are used for illustrative purposes only
Now we all know that's a lie and no matter how many different ways, they (the Virginia Prison Official) say it or how many fonts they say it with in their "Mission Statement", We, The People (of course including the Prisoner, especially the prisoner) are under no sets of delusions, that the only motive force animating them, the Virginia Prison Official, is the expected paycheck and the satisfaction of their depraved and demented psychotic and sadistic stirrings and the comedy of this, is its crass unoriginality. I BEGIN: Let me pose this question, what is the average and typical experience of any Virginian visiting an imprisoned loved one or friend, in Virginia's Prisons'? The descriptive begins with: Tension, Anxiety then Frustration right and its morph into Exasperation, then Indignation from the thinly concealed Disrespect emanating from the prison official, plateauing with you the visitor's ire at the unwarranted and uncalled for Injustice of the entire experience, all because you the visitor had the temerity, the gall, right to, exercise your NATURAL RIGHT, along with your APPROXIMATE RIGHTS AND LEGAL TERMS OF VIRGINIA'S SOCIAL CONTRACT, by daring to visit your imprisoned loved one and its the fact of the INJUSTICE, that I want to speak a bit to. Injustice naturally is apposite to Justice, with Justice as a contextual derivative of terms of The Social Contract, which exist as construct, mechanism, medium and Terms, because of All of The People (including the Prison Official). So that indignation of the visitor to the Virginia prison, is a correct, normal, natural and healthy response and reaction to the clear and obvious corruption in its context of violations, compromises and denigrations of firstly, the visitor's Natural Right and secondly, the visitor's rights under the approximate legality of the Social Contract and this encapsulates that lack of accountability antagonism, which the Virginia prison official occupies as terms of existence with The People (including themselves in its form as a contradiction of their professional behavior).What all of this translates into, which isn't some novel emergence, but the obvious matter of fact, that there isn't some sort of pre-existeing, primordial or archetypal construct, but the NATURAL RIGHT of the Virginia Visitor exist in itself, without suppositionary zeal, not as something other but as ALL OF THE PEOPLE and when the Virginia prison official expresses disdain at their presence as Visitor, that is the beginning and inception of impunity and its above-the-lawism. The Virginia prison official by exhibiting a hostile and viscerally belligerent conduct as a professional state with the visitor (which is a corrupted dynamic of the social contract) is imposing, because of their existence as a constituted sovereign element of the Commonwealth, an undemocratic and tyrannical fact on what is Virginia's Due Process of Law. In other words, contrary to the evidenced assumption by the prison official's conduct and professional behavior, that the animus is a latent and unstated extra-judicial disposition due to the existence of the Virginia prisoner and towards the imprisoned Virginian, as prisoner, the only subject of their impunity and its casualty is the entire construct and formulation of The Social Contract and the Rule of Law. With this understanding and the accompanying responsibility, The Virginian is equally responsible for their experience and the tolerated impunity of the Virginia prison official, silence is complicity.
