EXPLOITING CRIME AND HARM TO DIVIDE THE PEOPLE IS PURPOSEFUL AND DELIBERATE By William Thorpe

Pictures are taken from the internet and are used for illustrative purposes only
Every single Constituted assertion of our Social Contract, whether, Nationally or The States, aspires to the "perfection of the unity of the people" and this isn't unique to The Commonwealth of Virginia or The United States. Every aggregate of humanity on the Planet professes, unity of the people. This simply means there is an establishment and construction of a mechanism, a process where harm experienced by personhood, and disagreements within the polity of the Social Contract are methodically resolved, along with the necessary respect and dignity accorded the respective Human Life and Social Person, in otherwords, the existence and application of Law and its Due Process. But the fly in the ointment of this definition of Social Contract, is simply this, the human condition isn't a dynamic, primarily concerned with the equitable resolution of harm and disagreements. Instead what the human condition and its Social Contract organism is concerned with is the circumstances of existence and survival. As such "Harm", is unequivocally and unambiguously understood as any and all phenomenon and phenomena impeding and posing what is seen as a clear and present danger, to that circumstance of existence and survival of the aggregated social contract and this is in principle and conveyed and expressed as that practicality of, the "perfection of the unity of the people ".The focus of my work, which, this is chapter, is sternly on holding the Virginia Prison Official accountable as motive of reforming Virginia's prison system, accordingly, this analysis brings us squarely in confrontation with "Harm" as a component of the Social Contract, not as its typical encounter as type of narrative deployed in the employ of the anti-reform forces, but as it systemically exist as that fundamental nemesis of the circumstances of existence and survival of the aggregated social contract and the People, which because of its controlling and dictatorial status quo function, is denied as existing. But if we are to prevail and drag the Commonwealth and its reactionary anti-reformers into the accountability-function of the "unity of the people", then we have to expose the exploitation of "harm" by those backwards hearts and minds amongst the people who are incapable of restraining their self-destructive impulses of cutting off their noses to spite their faces, which wouldn't be of any concern to us, save for the fact its also our collective noses, with showing that when "Harm" is laid bare as primarily a bane on the collective social contract and not just that pathetic existence of isolated and unitary tragedies, we are then clear eyed about the fact that the tolerance of systemic impunity and it's mockery of the People's will by the status quo function of The Social Contract, is what is inculcating and breeding asocial responses by the Virginia Personhood. The consequence is the existence of a division among and between the people, which is encountered in all sorts of ways, from victims of the impunity of the Virginia prison official, parroting the self-serving status quo narrative, that one class of the imprisoned Virginian is worse than other types of prisoners, even if in deeds, such is correct and commissions of harm are comparatively monstrous. The highlighting and underscoring of that type of harm and crime at the expense of the more destructive and systemic harm and its criminality, serves only one function and purpose, which is that unoriginal pursuit and its weaponization of the "divide and conquer "dictatorship maxim of value appropriation of the materialization of the circumstances of human existence and survival.

LETS REMOVE THE MYTHOLOGY OF THE ACCOUNTABILITY-FUNCTION OF THE VIRGINIA PRISON OFFICIAL AND REALIZE REFORM OF THE VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS By William Thorpe

Pictures are taken from the internet and are used for illustrative purposes only
One of the first and initial acts of Governor Abigail Spanberger was to elevate by selecting a Virginia Department of Corrections, apparatchik, Joseph Walters, to become it's Director and the inevitable reaction and its condemnation was swift, prompt and vociferous. This work isn't to purport that a basis for Governor Spanbergers' action exist save for that perennial Democratic fear of "Law and Order" issues, which prison and imprisonment is its most distilled. In otherwords, Governor Spanberger and her advisors made the calculated and its cost benefit analysis, that with everything being correct that the Virginia prison official is a corrupt entity, its not in her nor Virginia's Democratic Party interest, to own the Department's rotted carcass, by embarking on the accountability-function of bringing it to heel, with the chemotherapy of finally subordinating the Virginia prison official to the will of the People of Virginia. In one word Governor Spanberger had her moment and encounter, with that historic encapsulation of, "we've met the enemy and its us", to which on that issue, shirked from, the anticipated and expected leadership force and its necessary motive of finally aligning The Commonwealth of Virginia with its asserted aspirations. What this makes Governor Spanberger is, despite the historic nature of her ascension and supremacy to the House of Burgesse, she is yet to master it by democratizing the accountability-function, or equality under law as applied to the Virginia prison official, which despite the modernization of the nomenclature and dress, it's uniforms are as Bob Marley, lyricized, "uniforms of brutality" and the hypocritical and dehumanizing narrative it represents. Now candidate Abigail Spanberger became the Governor of Virginia on the simple and always straightforward critique of "affordability", which as long as its underlying dynamic is kept at arms length, has always been cast and recast in whatever verbiage has that captivating ring to the People's ear. But in this work of dispelling that undermining mythology surrounding, reform of Virginia's justice infrastructure and the prison system our analysis isn't hamstrung, by that status quo duplicity of creating distinctions where none exist and distinguishing interactions and relationships that have and share a common dialectic. We acknowledge and recognize that the dynamic of "affordability" on whose sails Spanberger made history, isn't limited to the price and cost mark up of a loaf of bread, but it is a function of that systemic existence of the peoples loss of faith and trust in the accountability-function and its ensuing impunity, which as focus of this work is embodied by the Virginia prison official. In other words, if "affordability" is that most basic, primitive and elementary critique of political-economy and its Social Contract, then nothing about its examination and interrogation can exist without a scrutiny of the terms the states organized violence has with its people and the most germane of this is that of the imprisonment circumstance, where each and every moment of the imprisonment is determined by to what extent are the prison officials, which in this case, the Virginia prison official, functioning and operating under law and not its extra-judicial formulations of its above-the-lawism impunity. In other words if Governor Spanberger isn't talking out of both sides of her mouth and unequivocally accepts that, even though she exploited a version of it, her "affordability", critique is fundamentally about holding impunity to account.

LET'S NOT FORGET THAT OUR STATE LEGISLATORS ARE ALSO COMMUNITY MEMBERS MIRED IN ALL THE INGRAINED, BACKWARDS SUPPOSITIONS AND PREJUDICES SURROUNDING CRIMINAL JUSTICE AND THE VIRGINIA PRISON SYSTEM By William Thorpe


As a People are we twisted up with all sorts of anti our self-interest, backwards suppositions and prejudices pertaining to all aspects of life and existence, including what it means to harm fellow human, also as crime? Yes. However, that "yes", in itself isn't the issue, but what is, is our capacity and capability to recognize that, the "yes", is all about us, as The People and how we see and to what extent we understand ourselves. Because yes there are herculean forces arrayed against that simple grasp and understanding and those herculean forces are the way and manner that we have allowed and permitted "understanding", to ala Gulliver amongst the Lilliputians, be restrained by threads, subjugate us to wisp-o-smoke narratives. When we elect one of ourselves as personhood to speak for us and present our perspectives and understandings as mechanisms of our governance, what we have done is first and foremost elevated and empowered our collective suppositions and conclusions, irrespective of value, and what I mean by irrespective of value is this," it takes two to tango", meaning, whatever we confront as issues that were debated as political expression and the subsequent election are accepted as the normalcy of social existence, notwithstanding the fact that the consequences are extraordinarily disastrous on social existence. So for example, we can have Virginia Republican politicians in 1995 abolishing parole as a cure all, "final solution" as function of Virginia's criminal justice scheme, yet each and every successive and subsequent election cycle since, the Virginia personhood, is subjected to and badgered with this or that outlier of humanitys ability and propensity to commit pure, unbridled and unmitigated harm to fellow human as example of a generality of criminality, which despite the recognition by the individual Virginian that it is patently false and dishonest, nonetheless collectively as the voting public succumbs to its sirenic exploitation of the harm, which under any other circumstance, just as a type of lawyer is derided as an ambulance chaser, the Virginia Republican politician and their perennial exploitation of the crime issue, would be lambasted for seeing opportunity in "people's grief". The consequences of this isn't the fact that socio-existence and the personhood is stuck and caught up in an unimaginative and unoriginal idealistic dictatorship loop of a sort of nihilistic and morbid, theologic proof, of, an abstraction of human nature whose proponents find themselves in the contorting contradictions of their masochistic pretzel sophistry, but its in the fact that there is this rabid opposition, refusal and reluctance to accept the simple and everyday commonsense and practical understanding, that if the human being is multifaceted, then there isn't that proverbial one size fits all response and solution to anything, especial when our genus, as Homosapiens is the anticipation of capacity to know it all, not a fetishistic Omniscience, but the capacity to discern, attain cognition and conclude. Without this interrogation of our capacity, that a deep dive into our human condition and confront ourselves not as suppositionary constructs is what we should look for and extract from those we vote for as our governing representatives, what we end up doing is simply managing and treating symptoms and that is mockery.

ONE OF OUR ANCIENTS INSTRUCTED, "THE GREAT ARE ONLY GREAT, BECAUSE WE KNEEL, LET US RISE" AND THAT IS OUR RESPONSE TO THE IMPUNITY OF THE VIRGINIA PRISON OFFICIAL By William Thorpe

Pictures are taken from the internet and are used for illustrative purposes only
Recently VAPAC (Virginia Prisons Accountability Committee) gave air to a piece of work titled: FOOD FOR THOUGHT, it was a structure tying Professor Chenoweth's analysis or should I correctly say observations, that nonviolent movements typically succeed with the actions and participation of 3.5% of a community or population, with our work of holding the Virginia Prison Official accountable and the subsequent reform of Virginia's Prison System. I WANT TO GET INTO IT A BIT: Holding the Virginia prison official accountable and the subsequent reform of Virginia's prison system isn't some pie in the sky talk, because just as the harm done to the Virginia prisoner, by the impunity of the Virginia prison official are exceedingly and supra real, as a matter of fact, the most conclusive deed done in the name of the People of The Commonwealth of Virginia, so is the work of its reform absolutely real and must always be seen and characterized as such. So with this understanding, it is clear that the only thing we are up against is ourselves, meaning our appreciation of what is practical and how we hold ourselves accountable to its realization. Professor Chenoweth's recognition that the momentum and participatory force of 3.5% of a population, focused on change and its ensuing course correction is a critical threshold of the necessary viable activity, for example it translates into 304,000+ of a population as Virginia's 8.7 million, which for all practical purposes, when tallied as reflective of the organic perception of Virginians expressing an encompassing and comprehensive grasp that the governance they're subjected to has nothing to do with "We The People.....", is the defacto honest polity. The work of holding the Virginia prison official and its motive force of 3.5% of population participation isn't dissimilar from that, defacto honest polity reflective of that requisite organic perception and grasp, that Virginia's governance has strayed away from whatever inclinations it had," Of We The People....", to the mature and specific recognition that for example the Virginia prison official cannot hide behind the gambit shibboleth of "public safety "while executing an administration of dehumanizing the Human Being in the form of the imprisoned Virginian. Whatever cognition Society as polity can have of " just punishment ", dehumanization sure as hell doesn't have and present any logic, because not only is it tautological and crass negation but, dehumanization itself claims and implies a presupposed affirmation of Human Life, then the prison official does what, negates it and we are supposed to accept such as what? The work of holding the professional behavior of the Virginia prison official accountable has nothing to do with acknowledging any of the prison official's self-serving narrative, which the people of Virginia understandably accord their Government's assertions and pronouncements, but it must be based on the most draconian and stern scrutiny the People can muster, because save for dehumanization as function and purpose of imprisonment, the prison official and specifically, the Virginia prison official, is incapable of articulating a philosophy and its professional behavior, notwithstanding a lexicon in its defense, that isn't feeble and pathetically idealistic.

VIRGINIA'S ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESS ACT, IS THE OVERLOOKED NEMESIS OF HOLDING THE VIRGINIA PRISON OFFICIAL ACCOUNTABLE AND PRISON REFORM By William Thorpe

Pictures are taken from the internet and are used for illustrative purposes only
Holding human actions and behavior to account and the accountability-function is always ever present in human society and the Social Contract, however the distinction of its realization, is whether its process is relatively accepted or it is fraught with impediments and a everyday destabilizing struggle. In otherwords are the daily relations and Social Contract interactions a continuum of braining each other, in pursuit of what is fair and just, an understanding that we exist not in fear of the other, but on the fact that there is process of redress or the recognition, that if human life, is to be unconditionally valued, then, just as it is accepted that, the human capacity for "love" and its expression is taken on its face, without qualifications, then the acceptance of the innateness or inalienability of ones or the human idea of fairness, harm and injustice isn't dependent on some one else's, notions regardless of ability to right the wrong, the fact that a wrong has been done isn't debatable. But as soon as the dehumanization of the human being, becomes a fact, as we see and observe in the circumstance and condition of imprisonment experienced by the Virginia prisoner, we then see it structured and constructed as a denial of the prisoner's inalienable and innate idea of ownership of what is fair, harm and what is unjust by the type and sort of impediments and obstacles placed in the path of seeking redress or realizing the accountability-function. At this juncture I have to flesh this out, We, meaning the human condition, have been told that as a socio-person we exist in "freedom" as a relative and approximate condition as explanation of our experienced behavior of the Social Contract, its terms and relations, but as all things political-economy, which is the primary and foremost function of the Social Contract, it is euphemism and deceptive, because, what the Social Contract actually does is, it dehumanizes. The terms the Virginia person has with the personhood of itself as the Commonwealth of Virginia, is dialectically sovereign and subject at the same time, which because of such diametrically opposing relationship terms, from sovereign to subject, it then has a dehumanizing character and nature, because that historical developmental process of the Social Contract, hasn't truly permitted and allowed a confronting with itself, in order to resolve that antagonistic existence of dehumanization, which we see clearly revealed in the circumstance and condition of the Virginia prisoner. Because when the human being is denied of that inalienable capacity of that innate idea of fairness and injustice, because of the imposition of obstacles and impediments, in the path of redress as the Virginia prisoner is particularly subjected to, then the consequence and result is dehumanization. Notwithstanding the Constitutions of Virginia and of The United States assertions, of the people's right to petition government and seek redress, it is conditional. So for example Virginia's Administrative Process Act, specifically prohibits, it excludes prisoners from it and the Administrative Process is a fundamental function of Virginia's Government and even as the Virginia prisoner is comprehensively a subject of government, what then is being said by the prohibition on the prisoner's ability to access it, regardless of logic and reason?. The consequence of this prohibition is de jure impunity of the professional behavior of the prison official in all aspects of treatment of the Virginia prisoner and without confronting the impunity causing effects of the Administrative Process Act, the work of reform is a wink and nod
