PROTEST AS SPEECH FOR REFORM OF THE VIRGINIA PRISON CIRCUMSTANCE IS ALSO THIS By William Thorpe

Pictures are taken from the internet and are used for illustrative purposes only
I will get right into it, The Commonwealth of Virginia is much more than its Three Branches of Government. It is primarily the established institutions The People of Virginia have established as means and mechanisms of what it means to realize themselves and the cultivation of its optimal environment. Government is primarily a coercive force, and no one welcomes coercion into anything and its will of the people is a clear articulated anticipation, "Of By and For The People" despite the fact that, at this moment of our social contract's existence, its primitive nature, circumscribes the anticipation as a practical purpose. Institutions establishing means of satisfying the people's aspirations are first and foremost, Ideas and not just a building and yes reform of Virginia's prison circumstance and its prison official is an idea and its satisfaction requires a maturity of engagement. Meaning the reform idea has to engage Virginians in spaces of ideas used to the habit of exchange. So Virginians conscious of the fact, that the aspired self-realization and the requisite cultivation of its optimal environment, is first and foremost a reform of Virginia's prison circumstance by returning the Virginia prison official to its rightful place of subordination to the will of The People of Virginia under equality of Law, have to meet fellow compatriot Virginians in spaces and places that have customarily speculated on and played around theoretically with self-realization and the cultivation of its optimal environment, but haven't actually appreciated its articulated anticipation, "Of, By and For The People", and pursued its attainment. The obvious places are Religious spaces and Virginia Colleges and Universities. We call on allies, families and friends of the Virginia Prisoner to reach out to religious leaders in their communities, for the purpose of speaking to and getting the point across to congregants, that the imprisonment of a Virginian, which is according to law, isn't then an excuse to violate law by dehumanizing the Virginia prisoner. This same message should be carried to campuses, through invites from college and university groups who for the most part are waiting on such activism. I have described a couple of mobilizing activities that are literal civic duties, because when government and its coercion, which the Virginia prison official is a function are held accountable, by subordination to the will of the people, that aspired, perfection of the unity of The People, is closer to realization. The existence and tolerance of impunity by government is its antithesis and the most destructive occurrence in the Social Contract. Because it corrodes the people's good will, it corrupts the people's trust in potential and capabilities, it as a final exertion negates humanness and replaces it with cynicism. What I'm also showing is protest has infinite character, because its only purpose is to expose and resolve antagonisms within the social contract that dehumanize. So, to the accountability-function of the Peoples Will, give us that breath of fresh air, that you are its operative, change the narrative of the Virginia prison circumstance and hold the Virginia prison official accountable.

OUR NATIONAL LABOR GROUPS ARE RELATIVELY ABSENT FROM THE WORK OF PRISON REFORM, BUT IT'S GLARING WHEN VIRGINIA'S OWN ARE SILENT TO THE POINT OF ABSCONDING, IN LIGHT OF THE FACT FORMER RANK AND FILE ELEMENTS ARE NOW CLAD IN THE VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS "UNIFORMS OF BRUTALITY" By William Thorpe

The organization of our Human Condition as Society on the mechanism of the Social Contract, has as its attention, the business of being human, or its encompassing character, Work. This supremacy appearance of Work begins its assertion also from the Religious Genesis 2:2 "And on the seventh day God finished his work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he had done". Then its Human Condition directive begins at Genesis 3:23 "therefore the Lord God sent him out from the garden of Eden to work the ground from which he was taken". To its bookend emergence as legend on the entrance to the Nazi Death Camp Auschwitz," Work Shall Set You Free", where its definition was the administration of the extermination of the human being. The killing and extermination of the human being as Work, had of course preceded its Auschwitz practice, but to my knowledge Auschwitz, had the unique temerity to appropriate the aphorism "work shall set you free", as organizer. I've given this illustration of "work" to show it's primary basis, which then enables me to now say this, if "work" is that activity of life, but as it concerns this work, human life, then all organizing aspects and constructs of the human condition, as revealed as society on the dicta of the social contract are all and only about work. As such it has two diametric 1) that which permits its unimpeded motion and (2) and its maintenance. With its maintenance, we encounter the various forms and types of it's governance or a Government. For a quick definition of government, BLACK'S LAW defines as:The structure of principles and rules determining how a state or organization is regulated. 2, The sovereign power in a nation or state. So let's get a basic understanding of what is this, "sovereign power". Again BLACK'S LAW defines it as: Police Power, The inherent and plenary power of a sovereign to make all laws necessary and proper to preserve the public security, order, health, morality and justice. It is a fundamental power essential to government, and it cannot be surrendered by the legislature or irrevocably transferred away from government. I BEGIN: No one argues, not even the conceited addled among us that the only function of Life, more specifically, human life, isn't that of WORK, which I'll define as idea (conclusion, formulation) +intent (urge)= act, action (production, create).Work which is all and only about the business of being human, meaning securing sustenance and supporting circumstances for human life existence is the organizing focus and attention or purpose of our human condition. As such it brings out the best and worst in us. The worst, is what I want to focus on, because that "worst", is what impels and creates the need for reform, because fundamentally, that worst, has as its psychology, an antagonistic existence or a corrupting effect on relationship terms and values of the social contract which then seeps into the common daily interaction of social existence, which means its impact is squarely and directly on "work", which in society is organized as Labor. This work isn't to instruct Labor on course of action, but this work is clarity on the fact that, the essential purpose of the Police Powers and its state organized violence, existing also as the Justice Infrastructure, with prison as administrator, has a purely coercive and punitive function, that of ensuring Labor is subordinated.

JUST AS HISTORY DE-LEGITIMIZES THE SPEECH OF CONSERVATISM AND ITS REACTION BY INDICTING IT'S HYPOCRISY, SO SHOULD WE OPPOSE THE DEHUMANIZATION OF THE VIRGINIA PRISONER BY EXPOSING ITS SYSTEMIC MOTIVE By William Thorpe


Pictures are taken from the internet and are used for illustrative purposes only
It is a labor in itself to proclaim the sacrosanctity of Human Life, as the Constituted aspirations of the People of Virginia claims then dehumanize it as process of holding it accountable and responsible for asocial behavior and deeds. Our ancestors understood that to find that quintessential immortality in valor and honor, the foe or opposition had to be accorded with the equality and respect of the life force and motive, without qualifications and I emphasize without qualifications. Meaning regardless of the form and configuration of the life force, if it acquitted itself in that recognizable template of value, it received a narrative of worthiness. So not to become long winded about it, all humanity was subsequently accorded that generic worthiness, which contrary to theology and its idealistic hypocritical presumptions and contradictions, became that basis of the sacrosanctity of Life. But as some of our ancestors also recognized, we constantly violated the sacrosanctity of life as a natural course of our condition. A condition which some of our ancestors observed as result and cause of, the business of being human, which fundamentally is distilled as the pursuit of life sustaining and supporting conditions and those optimal necessary circumstances. So what confronts, the Virginian who aspires to the wholesomeness of their existence, is simply this: their existence and its basic claim is dependent on its inexorable externalization. In other words a non-imprisoned Virginian doesn't have to, as I've stated in other works, give a flip about the imprisoned Virginian, but as long the imprisoned Virginian is being dehumanized, its ahumanistic process, as done by the Virginia prison official is also spilling over into and assuming a devaluation of that declared Constituted will of the People of Virginia of the sacrosanctity of life. Dehumanization of human life as formulation of Virginia's historicity, is well documented in Virginia's antecedent laws in defense and application of its political-economy, which was the chattel enslavement of black People. It then spilled over into its imprisonment scheme, in a continued pursuit and maintenance of, its chattel enslavement political-economy which had been abridged by the Civil War, as a mechanism of a justice infrastructure. But just as everything primary to the human condition, it had and still has nothing to do with any idealistic pursuits of repairing any harm borne by social beings, who in most cases were and are not even recognized as having personhood, under a pacification gambit as "justice". The political reforms that ensuingly gave us imprisonment in its current form, despite applying and exploiting the verbiage and language of perfecting the people's will, is instead due to its allegiance to its antecedent of dehumanization, is incapable of separating itself from it, as such must be compelled. This is where the People of Virginia as an organic entity have the obligation, an obligation that cannot be delegated to the compromises of customary gambits.

WHAT EXACTLY IS PROTEST AS SPEECH IN VIRGINIA PRISON REFORM ADVOCACY By William Thorpe

Pictures are taken from the internet and are used for illustrative purposes only
Recently an ally in the work of Virginia Prison Reform and holding the Virginia Prison Official accountable, told me I was anti-protest. So after I permitted myself a bit of a chuckle. I responded with the simple, well, every single moment of my existence these past 46 years and counting of imprisonment under Virginia's jurisdiction has been one continuum of protest, considering the fact that I came to prison with a 13 year sentence and I've now done 46 years and not a single one of these accumulated years hasn't been protest related. So there has to be an extraordinary disconnect with and an outright confusion over, what exactly is protest as speech, then its purpose and utility, because if after, to use the colloquial running time up, to where I've done 46 years on a original 13 year sentence, I can be characterized as being protest averse or anti-protest, then something is drastically and dramatically wrong. Hell I'm currently exiled caged up in Texas from Virginia because of protest. But the fact of the matter is one idealistic characterization doesn't in no way form or manner take away from historical facts which my existence under the jurisdiction of Virginia imprisonment, details and instead what it does is provide that opportunity to present a bit of analysis which will be a bit of a motive force to this historic work of holding the Virginia Prison official and the system that births them accountable. I BEGIN: Of course, PROTEST as a function of American English, is defined, which considering my prison writings are within the parameters of prison official impunity, meaning violations of law, authorizing the professional behavior of the Virginia Prison official, I'll first state the legal definition of PROTEST, according to BLACK'S LAW, Protest: A formal statement or action expressing dissent or disapproval. Now I'll state it's more generic definition from, WEBSTER'S NEW WORLD COLLEGE DICTIONARY Fifth Edition, Protest:1.to state positively affirm solemnly assert, 2. to make objection to speak strongly against. And now here is WEBSTER'S American English Thesaurus NEW EDITION 2 cents on it, Protest syn ASSERT, avouch, avow, profess, affirm, aver, declare, predicate, warrant, OBJECT remonstrate, expostulate, kick, oppose, resist, combat, fight, demur. What these definitions show is, protest is primarily and basically, an act, action, with the intent giving it character. So as it matters to the work and question of Virginia Prison reform and its accountability-function, we have to characterize it through purpose and its practicality. Once we do this, then we see and realize that its mindless and idealistic for our free-world allies to do what we as prisoners do, for the simple fact, what we do as protest as prisoners is due to the circumscription of imprisonment, its condition and circumstance when the intent, what is needed is the realization of the accountability-function of prison reform and once we have clarity on this then those minds and hearts in the free world, who are allied with accountability-function and its work of reform will realize the vastness of the protest-tableau, that's available. So we recognize that the Virginia Prison officials' impunity, and to the accountability-function is a systemic symptom of fundamental antagonisms of Virginia's Social Contract, meaning to return the prison official as subordinate to law and the will of the people, all facets of Virginia society must be scrutinized and held to account.

THE WORK OF HOLDING THE VIRGINIA PRISON OFFICIAL ACCOUNTABLE, HAS A PRIMARY AND SECONDARY CHARACTER By William Thorpe

Pictures are taken from the internet and are used for illustrative purposes only
I BEGIN: The work of holding the Virginia Prison Official accountable as all things political, has and consists of two fronts: which are (1) the primary focus of presenting to the people of Virginia that, the idea and fact of, the rule of law and its due process is a fraudulent enterprise as long as an integral element of its administration, the Virginia prison official, professionally behaves and operates with impunity, or to state it simply, presumes to be above the law. (2) the secondary aspect is to state a clear and unambiguous articulation to the people that our elected leaders who are tasked with the function and privilege of ensuring that fair administration of law, by exacting accountability and oversight over the Virginia prison official as their subordination to the people of Virginia ask, anticipates and expects, do so. Nothing about this is complicated or complex, however it becomes, due to all sorts of myriad convexing and concaving confluences and occurrences, of which some are endemic, while others are machinations. Nonetheless it doesn't excuse nor set aside the imposing reality, that, despite the fact that the impunity of the Virginia prison official, as expressed in the dehumanization of the Virginia prisoner, as practiced behind the prefab concrete and concertina razor wire enclosures of Virginia prison's, then spills over, firstly as a "othering" of the environment origin of the Virginia prisoner, meaning "free" Virginians, living, existing and going about their daily lives are seen and interacted with, under the same dehumanizing savagery and barbarism meted to the Virginia prisoner. Then secondly, it fuses into a crassification of Social Contract terms and a interactive callousness which then impedes that perfection of the unity of the people, as that germane aspirational quintessence of our Human Condition. What the work of holding the Virginia prison official accountable requires is a complete saturation of analysis among the people, not on any terms less than if conniving minds and exploitive opportunist among the people have inoculated the people against ideas of prison reform with the pernicious retort of, "don't do the crime if you can't do the time ", which in itself is a lawless snide and sneer, analysis to the people must be clear and unambiguous that, doing the time shouldn't then become a crime due to prison official impunity. The People are not clear on the fact that, punishment under Virginia law are either a sentence of imprisonment and its conditions on one's liberty, probation, restitution or a combination. The conditions and circumstances of the imprisonment or confinement is primarily we encounter the impunity and presumptions of the above-the-lawism of the Virginia prison official in the displayed savagery and barbarism of professional behavior, as a thinly concealed holdover from the whip and sadistically coercive and punitive measures of Virginia's chattel enslavement of Black People. Chattel enslavement of Black People in Virginia was a comprehensive dehumanization regime. Its migration into segregation or the colloquial jim crow, continued the dehumanization. Virginia's imprisonment scheme continues, the impunity of dehumanization and a Virginian doesn't have to give a flip about the imprisoned but if that Virginian is conscious of the tensions of the existing contradictions and antagonisms of Virginia's Social Contract, (which by the way, its impossible for any Virginian to ignore) which Candidate Abigail Spanberger spoke to so succinctly, then it behooves that it's connected to the impunity of the prison official.
