THE POSITION AND STANCE OF VICTIMS RIGHTS ORGANIZATIONS AND ADVOCACY IS UNDERSTANDABLE, BUT THAT DOESN'T MAKE THEM UNTOUCHABLE NOR CRITIQUE AND ANALYSIS PROOF By William Thorpe

I was studying the state of prison and criminal justice reform across the land and the work of Governor JB Pritzker of Illinois, along with the Illinois Democratic Party, Reform Advocates and the enlightened People of Illinois stood out. Yes Virginia Democrats under the leadership of Governor Ralph Northam, Reform Advocates and the enlightened People of Virginia also acquitted themselves, with the herculean work of abolishing the death penalty, reform on the margins of imprisonment, the apportionment of imprisoned Virginians as electoral constituencies back to the jurisdictions of initial arrest and other reforms. Now the reason JB Pritzker and the Illinois efforts are noteworthy, is primarily because of the opposition from Illinois Republicans and their Victims Rights Organizations allies, created roadblocks and the subsequent idealistic laws enacted as a result. Yes Virginia Republicans are equally as reactionary as their Illinois brethren and are also allied with victims rights advocacy in opposing any "perfection of the unity of the people" as expressed as holding the Virginia prison official accountable and reform of an imprisonment circumstance and condition, that quite frankly under any vantage of scrutiny has nothing to do with euphemistic "justice" as repair of the all too real harm to victims, which weren't Victims Rights Advocacy so enthralled and enslaved to the distortion and its misrepresentation of crass revenge and petty vindictiveness as "justice", would easily see it as such and recognize why our ancients instructed that the rule of law and its repair of harm shouldn't become a descent into the idealistic morass of revenge and vindictiveness as a "justice" surrogacy. I BEGIN: The issue or question isn't whether crimes are not committed by the legitimately adjudicated, convicted, imprisoned and sanctioned Virginian, whether harm isn't meted to fellow human and social personhood, it is and accordingly anticipated by terms of the Social Contract. But that's where the current speech of Victims Rights advocacy, irrespective of presence of mind, transforms into the exploitation of harm for a specific political-economy and its agenda that perpetrates a more cataclysmic and general criminality on the socio-personhood as function of the Social Contract, which then trickles down as consequence into that tragic and heinous singular existence or topical criminality, that is then viscerally scapegoated by the status quo embodiments of the Social Contract as a perpetual self-serving font narrative for their sustenance and maintenance and its dynamic continuum of the next inevitable crime. This work isn't conclusive nor presumptuously intended to be. What this work intends is to state that, the work of Victims Rights advocacy has to recognize that, there are other portals of critique for victims rights, besides the entrapment of vindictiveness. A point of observation, isn't our circumstance as the Human Condition a result of our prescience and ability to prepare?, Which in the context of crime, simply implies that our Leaders must present analysis of why certain conditions breed it, which victims rights advocacy must then speak to its amelioration.

THE SOUTH KOREANS GAVE THEIR WANNABE DICTATOR PRESIDENT A LIFE SENTENCE FOR PULLING A MARTIAL LAW STUNT, WHILE THE PEOPLE OF VIRGINIA ARE BEHAVING AS IF THE ALLEGATION OF THE HOMICIDE OF AUBREY McKAY BY KONCENTRATION KAMP WALLENS RIDGE STATE PRISON OFFICIALS, IS WHAT AND OTHER INCIDENTS OF VIRGINIA PRISON OFFICIAL IMPUNITY By William Thorpe

The South Koreans are supposed to be allies with shared values along with the Rule of Law and Due Process. Well they recently sentenced their former President to a life sentence in prison, for trying to impose martial law, from which we can unequivocally deduce and state that holding a President to account for committing an act that attacks the collective will and faith of the South Korean People, is affirmation and an exhibition of a maturity and resolve in the assertion of their humanness and the "perfection of their unity as the people", that sternly states, No one is above the law, as such the foundation of their polity settles more firmer. This brings me, to this question, which is, what are the duties of the People of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Because if the Social Contract maturity displayed by the South Koreans, by holding their President to account is one that in its relative modern construct was formulated, in principle, by the Virginian James Madison and his Madisonian "perfection of the unity of the people", in accord with John Adams and his declaration and insight, which I paraphrase, that our Nation is that of laws and not men, then the Commonwealth of Virginia should be the last place we would encounter that proverbial tango with the devil or footsie with the social contract sabotage of governmental impunity, embodied, as professional behavior of the Virginia prison official. Yet for too long the People of the Commonwealth of Virginia, unlike their South Korean brethren, have turned that proverbial blind eye to the antics as professional behavior of their prison officials, even when the allegations are death of imprisoned Virginians who sure as hell weren't sent to prison to be killed at the hands of the Virginia prison official. Aubrey McKay, an imprisoned Virginian was one of those Virginians who wasn't sent to prison to be killed, yet in 2025 died while in the custody of Virginia prison officials, at Koncentration Kamp Wallens Ridge State Prison, a death that has been ruled, a homicide. Which isn't apportionment of indictment, but simple confirmation of cause and would need and require the people's will demanding its investigation as a restoration of faith and trust in terms of Virginia's Social Contract, yet to date the Virginia people have shown a lack of maturity in stating its demand. I challenge all of Virginia's media, the corporate for profit ones and the nonprofit publications, to search law archives, from 1995,when Virginia Republicans under the lead of the racist Governor George Allen of "macaca" infamy, abolished parole in Virginia, to present date, for a study of prisoner and their estate claims and allegations of the savagery, barbarism and dehumanizing professional behavior of the Virginia prison official. Virginians will learn of unimaginable impunity at the expense of "equality under law", lest we forget, the law being broken and is defended by the Virginia Republican Party, along with support from opportunistic Virginia Democrats, is the same law that creates the prison official and the imprisonment.

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.
