Oversight Of The Virginia Department Of Corrections Is Another Tired Game Of Musical Chairs By William Thorpe

You see there is this adage or is it axiom, and I paraphrase, that if you can't speak for yourself someone else most definitely will and despite and regardless of best intentions, we are also reminded by that other apt adage, "the road to hell is paved with good intentions "and that is what has been playing out with all things concerning how we hold Virginia's Justice Infrastructure and The Prison System accountable. Forever, Virginia prisoners, we've had others claiming best intentions, speaking up for us. Now that in itself is a noble effort, considering the fact Virginia prison officials would rather have nothing more than we are muted, which forever has been their wish, considering that the prison official quintessentially, embodies the dictatorial presumptions inherent within Virginia's Social Contract. Now this thing of others speaking for you has another name and it is, Politics. As Virginia politics currently is and has been since British investors funded colonization of what is now Virginia and subsequently, became the original North American Colonies, the interest of those historical investors and eventual speculation became the logic, rationale, narrative in other words, the politics. Regardless of euphemisms, the verbiage, values e.t.c the fundamental irrefutable fact is the politics or speech is designed to defend the interest of a specific activity and in modern Virginia that activity doesn't care much for narratives or the politics that dares to hold it accountable by challenging its inconsistencies and violations. The Virginia Prisoner stands as social fact of certain realities of which, The Scape Goat is one while at the same time exposing that the defining politics is concurrently, as I've illustrated fraudulent and antagonistic and giving voice and exposure of this fact is what it means to bring forth the politics of "equal under law", or more correctly true oversight, which we are led to believe is what those who speaks for us, wish. What I'm describing demands, to what extent are we aware of this Virginia politics that permits and allows the prison official to be beyond reproach, without us accepting what the Great Schizophrenic In Chief, Thomas Jefferson emphasized in The Declaration Of The Nations Independence, with...." all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed."(July 4,1776) and this describes what we've forever experienced as the musical chairs of oversight of the Virginia Department of Corrections based on (fill in the blank),but here is the reality, The Commonwealth Of Virginia already has laws, Code of Virginia section 2.2-309 (A/14 thru18),(C/1thru4) and there is Opinions of The Attorney General 2013 Va Ag Lexis 55 dealing with the powers already granted The State Inspector General. Then for good measure there is this case, Moschetti v. Off.of The Inspector General U.S. Dist. Lexis 144143.Now the point is theses laws exist and to what extent it does whats on paper which is, investigate, state agencies, including the Virginia Dept. of Corr. is how we exercise politics for ourselves, which means we engage the law and its process.
