People I trust you are reading and studying some of the works I list in this series. As I'm always emphasizing we are "ruled" and subjects of a line of thinking that is truly alien and quite frankly antithetical to what you the People of Virginia commonly think and presume undergirds the judgement of those you vote as representation. And there isn't an area that is the testing ground of this convoluted line of thinking, than Prison and the Imprisonment scheme. Because in the administration of the American, viz Virginia's imprisonment scheme more than any other expression, is where we encounter this convoluted line of thinking in its most pure and undiluted duplicity and it is borne on the machinations of the IDEA INDUSTRY, who are liege Lords to the Politician and Legislator. It is vital that The People are privy to the product of the IDEA INDUSTRY, which I have been listing in this series, in order to get past the double talk and outright lies employed by those status quo functionaries, which in essence are most of the Politicians. Below, listed are titles of works, I ask we familiarize ourselves with:

YES THE VALLEY JUSTICE COALITION SPEAKS UP FOR THE VIRGINIA PRISONER, BUT THE INDEFENSIBLE HB 1030 LAW ISN'T A HILL TO DIE ON By William Thorpe

Pictures are taken from the internet and are used for illustrative purposes only

I'm fully aware that expending mental labor on the HB 1030 Law, is purely a distraction. However its critique and ensuing struggle with The Valley Justice Coalition is actually and truly part of the work of reforming Virginia's imprisonment scheme and holding the Virginia prison official accountable, because we all know where the prison official stands , but among ourselves as the People, which The Valley Justice Coalition is element, analytical resolution of grasp of the antagonism presented by Virginia's imprisonment scheme is a duty and obligation, is a must if we are to materialize the accountability-function of Virginia's governance. With this stated, I BEGIN: Yes, the Valley Justice Coalition was primarily instrumental in the crystallization of HB 1030 as Virginia law codified at VIRGINIA CODE 53.1-151.1. However, it was a misguided effort that has created as the law currently exist a fraud. Because HB 1030 embodies all that enables the inherent corrupt dynamic of not just the Parole process which the law purports to reform, but it's zeitgeist operative. The fact that a couple of Virginia prisoners birthed it's schematic isn't absolution nor does it in any way form, manner or fashion change and alter the irredeemable fact that the law is a fraud and an albatross around the already insufferably yoked necks of the Virginia prisoner. Pick whatever continuum chapter of injustice of our Human Condition and the immediate and proximate cause and reagent enabler are members of the target recipient of the injustice, so the fact that a couple of Virginia prisoners instigated a self-harm enterprise isn't news. Now I've been exposing HB 1030 as an insidious work, since its, emergence, fully clothed in the unanimous smirking and fingers crossed, wink, winky of the Virginia anti-prisoner formulation, notwithstanding the unanimity of the "ayes". Even though the Valley Justice Coalition has been an advocate for the Virginia prisoner, we have to challenge it, when it missteps. So as it currently stands nothing has changed in Virginia's status quo posture on the correct admission of what is Parole, it is still a gambit. There is a diametrical dichotomous dissonance of comprehension, from what the Constituted Aspirations of the People of Virginia grasp Parole to be from its Virginia Governmental vis a vis as applied Political exploitation and this dissonance is maintained by Virginia Parole jurisprudence, which when the Virginia prisoner victimized by the exploitation, goes to the Court house petitioning his case that the Parole Process is unconstitutionally depriving him of liberty or release without due process of law, encounters to the fullest. Parole exists as member of the tribe, of mechanisms created to release the Prisoner from imprisonment before term of the imposed sentence. Its kinsmen are Pardon, Clemency and Commutation. The operative is "release from imprisonment before term of sentence". In other words, the purpose of Parole is not to determine why the Prisoner should be released, but why he or she shouldn't. This inversion has a universe of reasons, with the primary and fundamental being that the Virginia demographic immediately subjected to the inversion, the Prisoner, Family, Ally and Friends didn't speak up against the sophistry that borne the inversion as such it was extremely easy for the anti-Prisoner formulant to sabotage, betray and subsequently undermine the reason a mechanism as Parole, with one and only one purpose, release from imprisonment would even exist. So, what the Valley Justice Coalition plus collaborators have, with HB 1030 done is continue the "why" should Parole be given inversion.

THE INFAMOUS VIRGINIA PAROLE REFORM HB 1030 CODIFIED AT VIRGINIA CODE 53.1-151.1 CONTRARY TO THE MINT JULEP HIGH OF ITS DEFENDERS IS ANOTHER "OLE VIRGINIA" By William Thorpe

Pictures are taken from the internet and are used for illustrative purposes only

Since HB 1030 saw the light of the day, I've been exposing it as a fraud. HB 1030 appeared as the brain child of a couple of Virginia Prisoners, who were being denied Parole. Their idea for reforming Virginia's Parole Process, then, after going through the hands of certain Virginia Prison Reform Advocates ended up with the "opportunity" recognizing Virginia General Assembly member Delegate Tony Wilt (R) and his assistant Chad Funkhouser. Subsequently Delegate Tony Wilt didn't have any problem getting his Virginia General Assembly colleagues to recognize what a godsend the prospective parole reform idea was, because it presented every last one of them, from the reactionary-philistine to the enlightened Progressive, a Rorschach - Test opportunity affirmation of, for each their bonafides, to the burnishing of claims of wanting what's best after all for the Virginia demographic subject to the historicity of the imprisonment scheme, contrary to critics. So it wasn't a feat to have occurring in the General Assembly of The Commonwealth of Virginia in 2026 the "collusion" of it's various and disparate political factions unanimously saying "aye" to HB 1030. Which to any honest observer was proof enough of its fraudulent and corrupt nature and not of justness and being on the correct side of history. I mean we are talking about the same Virginia Republicans who in that same session were producing, sponsoring and advancing Bills targeting Virginia's imprisoned geriatrics for defacto to the grave imprisonment all of a sudden joining hands with Virginia Democrats and voting for a Bill presenting itself as means of release from imprisonment? Unless the quacks like a duck part has been a lie, then there is nothing honest and reformative about HB 1030.This incidental with the defenders of HB 1030, is instructive of a phenomenon that keeps on reappearing with any circumstance of the work of Reform. What happens is there isn't a clear and practical grasp of the fact that, reform, is actually about changing the human existence by improving circumstances and conditions. The tension that appears, which in this particular HB 1030 case, is its defenders have become unwilling to simply examine the law, against the prior and pre HB 1030 circumstance and ask the simple question: why are Virginia prisoners who are the intended beneficiaries of the law, saying it is fraudulent?. Because its defenders have become idealistically invested in the law at the expense of its practical existence in the real and profane world of the imprisoned Virginian. So for example emphasis is placed on the "work sheet", function of the law without pausing to recognize that all its metrics and data points for the most part hinge on approximations, abstractions and the dictatorship of "a" administrative process that is fundamentally weighted and tilted to whatever the interests of the Virginia prison official are and can contemporaneously be. Let's take the infraction metric and it's demerit function, which is extraordinarily consequential yet it doesn't currently comply with the least modicum of due process equal to its consequence. Nothing I'm outlining is insight. All that I point out are fundamental antagonisms of the imprisonment scheme, which is the natural foe of the Prisoner, which have required and necessitated the solidarity of ally and friends in its articulation. The very nature of Parole has been perverted from a status to be granted to its current, "why", should it be granted. This is the point we not only must make but amplify.

SOCIETY IS STRUCTURED ON IDEAS PART VIII By William Thorpe

Pictures are taken from the internet and are used for illustrative purposes only

I've been using this SOCIETY IS STRUCTURED ON IDEAS series to keep underscoring and emphasizing this one and simple point, which is: If we don't speak up for ourselves someone else will and it won't be in our interest. As such I've been listing for the FAMILY, ALLY and FRIEND of the Virginia Prisoner and in extension the National Prisoner, works by those dealing in the Idea Industry, who influence our Political leaders and Policy makers in ways the voter, who voted the Legislator into Power do not. So recently I was listening to the ravings by one of the White-Evangelical mouth pieces on one of the Republican propaganda Fronts, The American Family Radio and besides being a shill for neo-feudalism, White-Evangelical commentary on criminal justice issues have been an extraordinary reactionary impediment, exploiting the Politicians shameless quest for votes. So I subjected myself to the experience of what new depths can White-Evangelical hypocrisy reach and the menu offered up, RESTORATIVE JUSTICE. Initially I wondered why White-Evangelicals would be up in arms over Restorative Justice, which has a right to its day in the Sun as all other Justice formulations, if that's what the People as Community appreciates as satisfying Society's needs. Anyway as I always approach the grasp of a point of view, I do it on the terms of the objection. So I seeked the basis for the White-Evangelical critique of Restorative Justice not on what Restorative Justice actually is but on what if anything in Christianity supports the claim that advocating and endorsing Restorative Justice is violative of and at odds with a Christian's, sincere and deeply held belief and what I encountered was that same ole same critique of fundamental human nature, which as I stated earlier, yup, hypocrisy. Because the mouth piece on the radio hadn't been but a couple of minutes into his apoplexy, when he uttered, Liberal and Blue States are soft on crime, with this Restorative Justice stuff, when the Bible teaches we should,(at this point, I'd rather paraphrase) obey the law of the land. Man talk about hadn't it been for the fact that I'm not surprised with the twisted logic of the mind stuck in the hapless morass of supremacy, which is the White-Evangelical's pathetic refuge, I'd have actually wondered. Because imagine the logic of critiquing a law (which aspects of Restorative Justice is law in some Communities across the Nation) on the grounds the Bible exhorts adherents to obey the law of the land, (but when that law is Restorative Justice damn it to hell because it's a purported Liberal Formulation, that to let White-Evangelical Christianity tell it is "soft on crime"?) and all of this is being stated with a straight face and its such logic that Politicians, especially Democrats are "terrified" of being its object? When not only is it, even on mere secular terms laughable and enfeebled but it cannot even find defense for its spectacle on its own Biblical terms. Anyway, the point I want to make with this ridiculous spectacle criticism of Restorative Justice from a White-Evangelical radio mouth piece, is simply this. The roadblocks that have perennially stood in the way of reform have as motive, which this criticism of Restorative Justice, shows is that fear the Supremacist have of losing privilege. Because when we listen closely to what the opponents of reform and in particular, as it concerns us, the Virginia imprisonment scheme are saying, it isn't that they don't understand reform, because they themselves are facts and results of reform, but they recognize that reform implies accountability for status that once upon a time was taken for granted and they more than anyone else understand the true function of the imprisonment scheme, as such are anti its reform.

JUST AS SOUTHERN EVANGELICAL CHRISTIANS ENDORSED, SUPPORTED AND DEFENDED CHATTEL ENSLAVEMENT OF BLACK PEOPLE, VIRGINIA'S MENTAL HEALTH ESTABLISHMENT IS COMPLICIT IN THE VIRGINIA PRISON OFFICIAL'S DEHUMANIZATION OF THE IMPRISONED VIRGINIAN By William Thorpe

Pictures are taken from the internet and are used for illustrative purposes only

During one of the U.S Senate's recent idealistic hearings on "wokeness", a former Chairman of the JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF, immortalized this rejoinder and I paraphrase, that he had read and studied Marxism, so did that make him a Marxist?. I begin this work with it as illustration, to show how everything is about, who is saying what and at what point in time, because Justness, in its presence as Accountability, in the business of human existence as the Human Condition, is about ferreting out "interest". What I mean by interest is simply that revelation of to what extent will the always present latent and inherent corruption of a system be tolerated. I titled this work with the reminder of the role Southern Evangelical Christianity played in the political-economy of chattel slavery and I need not quote this or that in it's defense, because the indictment is well established and fully developed, not just on the terms of their very own faith and tenets, but their historic inability to repudiate the behavior, which segues into the other half of the title, which is: VIRGINIA'S MENTAL HEALTH ESTABLISHMENT IS COMPLICIT IN THE VIRGINIA PRISON OFFICIAL'S DEHUMANIZATION OF THE IMPRISONED VIRGINIAN. I BEGIN: Whereas Southern Evangelical Christianity's complicity with the chattel enslavement of Black People has been comprehensively derided and exposed for what it pathetically was, Virginia's Mental Health Establishment hasn't been subjected to an equally comparative examination of its behavior and participation in the dehumanization of the Virginia Prisoner. Which stands as example of that, who is saying what and at what point in time, which isn't critique of inability, but, it speaks to the mechanics of Virginia's Social Contract benefitting from that adage of hiding something in plain sight, which in turn speaks to the narrative dynamic of what is needed to maintain and ensure the orderly function of the business of human existence. In other words Society "tolerates", that which isn't being exposed as patently antagonistic and forever the Mental Health Establishment, whether locally or Nationally has exploited that tolerance. Because we cannot talk about and endeavor to hold the Prison Official accountable and subordinate him to the accountability-function of governance and ignore the role the Mental Health establishment plays in the imprisonment scheme. In 2019, I put together some work, titled, WHEN NOTED "EXPRESS INDIFFERENCE": RED ONION STATE PRISON,MENTAL HEALTH and IT'S PRACTICE OF SOLITARY CONFINEMENT, the work was published on January 10, 2019.I showed how a number of Court rulings starting with the Supreme Court of The United States, as far back as 1890, had indicted the Mental Health impact on imprisonment. What is salient is this: the Imprisoned Human Being, is purely a creation of law, nothing more nothing less. However there is that tendency, where we see the effect of again, tolerance of how that fact is glossed over and People naturally begin to accept the narrative from the beneficiaries of the imprisonment scheme, that the prisoner is something else and one of the co-conspirators in the transformation of the legal circumstance of the prisoner into an ad hoc extra-judicial circumstance are the Mental Health Establishment. Who overtly and covertly provide cover for the prison officials dehumanization of the Virginia Prisoner, which wasn't and isn't part of the Prison Sentence, but due to our silence, we don't point it out, by exposing the complicity.
