IF MAYORS OF VIRGINIA URBAN AREAS SPEAK OUT AGAINST CRIME, THEN WE EXPECT THEY ARE EQUALLY VOCIFEROUS IN CALLING OUT THE VIRGINIA PRISON OFFICIALS' PHILOSOPHY OF DEHUMANIZING THE VIRGINIA PRISONER THAT UNDERMINES AND SABOTAGES THE INEVITABLE REENTRY OF THE PRISONER INTO SOCIETY By William Thorpe

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

I BEGIN: Who among the many demographics of the Virginia People, wakes up and during the chaotic process of getting the household together for the order of responsibility of each for the yawning and stretching new day, is concurrently also focusing on the unforeseen consequences of the many harebrained Policy dictates implemented by Virginia's Government as governance by its Hydra self embodiment?.Of course almost no one, save for these all seeing eyes of evolving cadre of Artificial Intelligence or A.I. and even then one has to have intimation of that proverbial "the road to hell is paved with good intentions", to pose the query to the all seeing eye in that relative sense. Which is why governance and its Bureaucracies emerged, because there has to be a birds eye view or the Macro recognition that for example, the People as Government cannot adjudicate certain forms, types of socio-behavior upon a idealistic one-dimensional logic that despite owing its existence to a multidimensional interactive flux, formulates a validating narrative, at its expense. Therefore what the accountability-function of governance anticipates, is that unconditional application of its most basic, primary and fundamental lattice of "equality under accountability". Meaning, the function of exacting accountability isn't some sort of privilege bestowed, but in essence is that "inalienability" as fraternal dialectic of organic existence. Accordingly, there shouldn't be a set traditional or historical form of its material expression. However what we almost always encounter, is there is, as a perverse requisite conventional homage, a reactionary deployment, by a status quo in its Conservative "last stand" gambit, which is purposefully and deliberately structured to obstruct and impede any query of its mythology. So one of the primary elements of Virginia's mythology as the Nation's, is crime and public safety. Besides getting all into the Value of the mythology, which as all things human condition or The Social Contract, it is comprehensive. Virginia's Political overlords, as their National compatriots exploit the issues of Crime and Public Safety as rungs on that acquisitional ladder for the pursuit and seizure of speculative power. But it is a one-dimensional and selective characterization narrative. Because despite their stated objectives of defending the Constituted aspirations of the People as Socio-person as a positive conceptualization of nurturing that conducive environment for their full and all around development. What we see is its ever increasing destruction and existential criminalization of a demography of Virginia socio-person. We see this clearly with the Virginia Prisoner, on all accounts, who notwithstanding proscriptions and prohibitions to the contrary is dehumanized by unlawful and illegal applications of the Law under a savage and barbaric attitude by the Virginia Prison Official. That are crimes of the highest order and regardless of sophistry and apologies can deny and dispute that the Prisoner's condition and optimal state of reentry to Society is undermined and sabotaged, yet Mayors in particular who with ever media availability, rarely fail to preach Public Safety glibly ignore the unforeseen consequences of prison official actions.

SOCIETY IS CONSTRUCTED ON IDEAS PART IV By William Thorpe

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

What I've been doing with this SOCIETY IS CONSTRUCTED series, is reminding the Family, Ally and Friends of The Virginia Prisoner or for that matter those who are totally and completely unaware that this activity, which I describe as THE IDEA INDUSTRY exist. Which is constituted of individuals as Scholars, who determine Social Policies, by influencing Legislators and Judges with their interpretations of what concepts and ideas mean and should be implemented. To put it bluntly yes, you vote, for politician X who you suppose has your interest and maintains your World View, then element Y of the Idea Industry impacts him/her with speculations that designating your Neighborhood a high Crime area is a "Public Safety" good. We see this more often than not in Criminal and Social Justice issues, where all sort of kooky ideas have dictated Public Policy. For an example an entire book was written, THE BELL CURVE that made some pure clownish conclusions, but it served the purpose of its monied pushers. The point I'm making is you as the regular Jane and John Doe are not paying attention to the IDEA INDUSTRY and you need to. Find listed PART IV of the series. Again please share the listing with your imprisoned loved one and this listing applies to all State and The Federal System.

Who Knew What One Phrase Can Grab Ahold of vapac

EVERY TIME I THINK ABOUT VIRGINIA EXILING ME TO THIS TEXAS PRISON SYSTEM, MY MOMS PASSING COMES TO MIND BECAUSE BOTH HAPPENED TEN DAYS APART By William Thorpe

“My critique of my Moms is simply this: A Black Woman whose life experience occurred post the 1400’s.”

This is the only explicit mention of the 1400s in the post — but it is doing enormous conceptual work.

Thorpe is not using “1400s” as a date.
He is using it as a civilizational marker.

**2. What “post the 1400s” means in Thorpe’s intellectual universe**

Thorpe’s use of “post the 1400s” is shorthand for:

A. The birth of the racialized world order

The 1400s mark:

the Portuguese invention of the Atlantic slave trade
the legal codification of African enslavement
the emergence of racial caste as a global organizing principle
the beginning of European colonial expansion

Thorpe compresses all of this into a single phrase.

B. The beginning of the Christian–imperial punishment regime

In his 2024–2026 work, Thorpe argues that:

Virginia’s imprisonment system is a Judeo‑Christian punishment scheme
the logic of guilt, sin, atonement, and suffering is inherited from Christian theology
the carceral state is a religious institution in secular clothing

The 1400s are the moment when:

Christian empire globalizes
Christian punishment logic becomes racialized
the “saved/damned” binary becomes the “white/Black” binary

C. The beginning of the world his mother was born into

When he says his mother lived “post the 1400s,” he means:

She lived inside a world built by:

racial hierarchy
Christian moral accounting
colonial domination
gendered subordination
carceral logic
economic extraction

This is not biography.
This is historical indictment.

3. Why Thorpe uses the 1400s instead of “slavery,” “Jim Crow,” or “racism”

Thorpe avoids the usual American historical markers because:

A. He is not describing American racism — he is describing the world‑system

“Post the 1400s” means:

before the 1400s → a world not yet organized by racial caste
after the 1400s → a world permanently structured by it

He is placing his mother’s life inside a 600‑year global structure, not a 150‑year national one.

B. He is rejecting the idea that racism is an American aberration

He is saying:

Racial domination is not a glitch.
It is the operating system.

C. He is tying his mother’s life to the same structure that exiled him

This is the key move.

The exile to Texas (2019) and his mother’s life (1930s–2019) are both:

products of the same 1400s world
governed by the same Christian‑imperial logic
structured by the same racialized punishment regime

This is why the two traumas — her death and his exile — are fused in his memory.

4. How this usage fits into Thorpe’s larger 2024–2026 political‑theological arc

Thorpe’s recent work argues:

Virginia’s imprisonment scheme is based on Judeo‑Christian atonement theology
punishment is a religious ritual
guilt is a moral currency
imprisonment is a continuation of Christian sacrificial logic

The 1400s are the moment when:

Christian empire becomes global
Christian punishment logic becomes racialized
the Atlantic slave trade fuses theology + economics + violence

So when he says his mother lived “post the 1400s,” he is saying:

She lived inside the same theological‑carceral world that now cages him.

This is not nostalgia.
This is genealogy.

5. How available is this usage outside Thorpe?

Short answer:
Extremely rare. Almost no one uses the 1400s this way.

Long answer:

A. In academic discourse

Historians and theorists often use:

“the long 16th century”
“the early modern period”
“the age of discovery”
“the origins of Atlantic slavery”

But almost no one uses “post the 1400s” as a civilizational shorthand.

Thorpe’s usage is idiosyncratic, compressed, and rhetorical.

B. In Black radical thought

Some thinkers gesture toward similar timelines:

Cedric Robinson (racial capitalism)
Sylvia Wynter (1492 as world‑making)
Saidiya Hartman (afterlife of slavery)
Frank Wilderson (the longue durée of anti‑Blackness)

But none of them use the phrase the way Thorpe does.

Thorpe’s version is:

less academic
more compressed
more accusatory
more genealogically blunt

C. In political writing

Almost unheard of.

Writers usually anchor to:

1619
Reconstruction
Jim Crow
Civil Rights
Mass incarceration

Thorpe bypasses all of that.

He goes straight to the root.

6. Why Thorpe’s usage is powerful — and dangerous

A. It collapses 600 years of history into a single indictment

This gives the phrase enormous rhetorical force.

B. It refuses American exceptionalism

He is not saying:

“America failed its ideals.”

He is saying:

“America is the ideal — of a 1400s Christian‑imperial world.”

C. It links personal grief to global history

His mother’s life becomes:

a case study
a symbol
a witness
a casualty

D. It positions his exile as a continuation of the same world‑system

The 2019 transfer is not a bureaucratic decision.
It is a 1400s event.

**7. What this line does inside this post**

Inside today’s VAPAC post, the line:

“A Black Woman whose life experience occurred post the 1400’s.”
Current page

does three things:

1. It reframes his mother’s life as historically determined

Her suffering is not personal.
It is structural.

2. It reframes his exile as historically continuous

His suffering is not accidental.
It is structural.

3. It fuses the two traumas into one genealogy

Her death and his exile are not separate events.
They are two expressions of the same 600‑year system.

EVERY TIME I THINK ABOUT VIRGINIA EXILING ME TO THIS TEXAS PRISON SYSTEM, MY MOMS PASSING COMES TO MIND BECAUSE BOTH HAPPENED TEN DAYS APART By William Thorpe

I was at Koncentration Kamp Red Onion State Prison on May 19, 2019 in C-312. Around 9am+ish When the cops, Counselors, Shrinks were all acting funny. Coming by the Cell door, saying hey Sporty, hey Thorpe you okay. Was it weird behavior of course it was, because the ones who were all of a sudden talking were the ones who knew that I never had much to say to 'em, because they weren't right. Minutes later I think it was either the Unit Manager or one of the Counselors who came with a phone saying I should call my Wife, man were things getting all stranger days, anyway as soon she comes on she's, crying. So now I'm braced, then she tells me that my mom's passed, early that night. Man people, I ended up consoling, comforting her, of course I chuckle remembering. People this might sound off, but I really didn't focus on the fact that my Mother, Mary Mildred, who I think passed either at 90 or 89, had passed till years later here in Texas. I know that there are all sorts of psychological musings on it. Now here is the other part that inextricably links my Moms passing to Virginia exiling me to Texas, because ten days later on May 29,2019 around 6.30 am a Lieutenant, 2 Sergeants and 5 regular guards came to the door telling me that I was going on transportation and I won't be taking my property. So after processing me for transportation, they drove me to the Airport of the area. I think its called Lonesome Pines or something. Before I move on to what I wanna talk about, which is my Mother. Here is a prison anecdote for you. So when the cops came to the door talking that transportation talk I was on the toilet. The lieutenant kept his face in the glass the whole time watching me use toilet paper, watched me wash my hands and all that, then I still had to stand in the middle of the cell, lift my penis, testicles, turn around squat, show the soles of my feet, in other words the whole 9 of their strip search procedure and all of this is after he had watched me using the toilet. When they took me to transportation processing I had to go through the process, I mean the same process all over again. I won't bore you with how Red Onion placed handcuffs on me so tight that the escorting Marshalls on the Plane with me had to loosen 'em up just so I could snack on some trailmix e.t.c. Anyway, now let's get into what I want to share about my Mother. I begin with I didn't really appreciate my Mother till I had been in prison for quite a bit. What I mean by appreciate is simply this, when I was in the world with her, all she was, was my moms, an authority figure, who through my pre and adolescence, despite the fact she wasn't much of a talker, what she did say went in one ear and out the other, come on man she's Moms who listens to moms during adolescence however what I will say is I respected her and in my own way, I valued her. Here is a story, I think I was around 7 or 8 and she had baked one of my favs, Brownies and I just couldn't wait, so I stuffed my face and when she quizzed me, I lied, yup, then she told me to open my mouth, which I did and of course it was a crime scene, yup all chocolatey and my Mother in a calm voice told me not to ever lie to her again and people, I never did. The couple of times I saw my moms cry were the assassinations of Pres. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. My critique of my Moms is simply this: A Black Woman whose life experience occurred post the 1400's.

A Deeper Comprehensive Analysis of Thorpes Judeo Christian Imprisonment Scheme

A Deeper comprehensive analysis of Thorpes Judeo Christian Imprisonment scheme

What Thorpe Is Actually Doing in the “Dictates of Political‑Economy” Section

**1. He reframes imprisonment as an economic technology, not a moral or theological one**

Thorpe states that when Virginia’s imprisonment system emerged alongside the Industrial Revolution, it needed a justification narrative to hide its real purpose:

“concealing its actual intent which is political‑economical”

This is the thesis of the entire first movement of the essay.

He’s saying:
The prison is not a moral institution. It is an economic instrument.
And because economic instruments cannot admit their purpose (“we need to discipline labor”), they must be wrapped in a moral story.

2. Political‑economy requires hierarchy — and hierarchy requires mystification

Thorpe writes that political‑economy “requires a specific medium of establishing a hierarchy” that determines who gets access to the benefits of society

This is a classic political‑economy argument:

The system needs labor.
Labor must be controlled.
Control requires hierarchy.
Hierarchy requires a story that makes it seem natural, moral, or inevitable.

Thorpe’s point:
Imprisonment is the “stick” that enforces this hierarchy.

But the stick can’t appear as a stick — it must appear as “justice,” “morality,” “sin,” “crime,” or “public safety.”

3. The closer you are to the machinery of production, the more deception the system needs

Thorpe says the more a person’s life is tied to the production process, the more the system must “increase… the sophisticated nature of the mystifying narrative” to keep them compliant

This is a brutal insight.

He’s arguing:

Workers who are closest to the machinery of production
are also the ones most likely to see how the system actually works
so the system must intensify the ideological fog around them.

In other words:

The more exploited you are, the more lies the system must tell you.

4. The Justice Infrastructure becomes the voice of this mystification

Thorpe writes that the “Justice Infrastructure and its Imprisonment scheme” speak in a mystifying narrative that hides its true intent, which he calls a “no holds barred dictatorship”

This is not rhetorical flourish — it’s structural analysis.

He’s saying:

The justice system is not neutral.
It is the public‑facing language of the political‑economy.
It exists to translate economic domination into moral language.

So when the state says:

“public safety”
“accountability”
“corrections”
“rehabilitation”

Thorpe hears:

“labor discipline”
“hierarchy maintenance”
“political‑economic control”

5. The Industrial Age didn’t invent domination — it upgraded it

Thorpe writes that pre‑industrial social behavior already had domination baked in, but the Industrial Age fused these ancient precepts into a new, more efficient system of control.

This is where he introduces the metaphor:

“The Carrot and the Stick had to get a garb upgrade… with a set of new colors.”

Meaning:

Feudalism had domination.
Slavery had domination.
But industrial capitalism needed a modernized, secularized, bureaucratized form of domination.

That modernized stick is imprisonment.
