THE REPUDIATION OF THE VIRGINIA REPUBLICAN PERVERSION OF WHAT IS PUBLIC SAFETY AND THE HISTORIC WIN OF ABIGAIL SPANBERGER By William Thorpe
I BEGIN: Blacks Law defines Public Safety, thus, "The welfare and protection of the general public, usu. expressed as a governmental responsibility....." The U.S. Constitution characterizes it at ARTICLE I SECTION 8 "The Congress shall have Power to.......provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States......" and ever since, schemers and underminers of its aspirations and Natural Law basis have deployed their treasure and energies at perverting its fundamental Natural Law underpinnings. Then Abigail Spanberger in her 2025 successful and historic work to become Governor of The Commonwealth of Virginia course corrected its perversion with her "pragmatism over partisanship" lattice. I'm a prisoner under the Commonwealth's jurisdiction and naturally my focus is on how "public safety" has been euphemistically perverted as consequence by the Virginia Prison Official and their Virginia Republican ally to engineer impunity and above-the-lawism in the governance and administration of The Virginia Department of Corrections and its Prisons, which is shown and declared by their systemic practice of dehumanization and the expression and exercise of their sadistic proclivities. Forever the Virginia prison official has cloaked and concealed crass sadism, savagery and barbarism as work in pursuit of public safety for the Commonwealth and its People which by the way ironically includes the Virginia Prisoner who is at once object and subject of the resulting state organized violence and its public safety perversion. The imposition of imprisonment according to Virginia law has nothing to do with the ad hoc and extra-judicial creation, that we find as the Virginia prisoner, a subsequent cavalier transformation of the imprisoned Virginian into an insurgent and enemy combatant by the perversion of what is public safety by the Virginia prison official and their Virginia Republican political allies, accomplices in pursuit of distinct self-interest, under the psychosis of an idealistic and indefensible war, but with desperate and devastating consequences on the Virginia prisoner and in extension the People of The Commonwealth whom weirdly in whose name the damage is done. Yes Governor-Elect Abigail Spanberger executed a historic and successful campaign, under the banner of "pragmatism over partisanship", which alone should shake the People of Virginia out of the somnambulistic effects of and to acknowledging the depths of the perversion of what is public safety, we have been dragged down and reduced to, that something as commonsense as pragmatism over partisanship should be a breath of fresh air and motive-force guide, burnishing the terms of the Social-Contract. Now reforming the professional behavior of the Virginia prison official, which in practice means accountability to the People of Virginia, being not beyond reproach and accepting that their existence is at the privilege and behest of the People, stands unequivocally on the Social Contract affirming terms of the encompassing fact of Public Safety.

DEHUMANIZATION OF THE VIRGINIA PRISONER III By William Thorpe
In the 2010 Ridley Scott movie depiction of ROBIN HOOD of English tales, RICHARD THE LIONHEART, the English King is told by Russell Crowe, the yet to be Robin Hood, that God wouldn't find favor in his deeds during one of the CRUSADES against Muslims and Russell Crowe's character exact words were "Godless", that The King Richard's deeds were Godless. Needless I add the King didn't take to kindly to it, even though he demanded honest council from Russell Crowe's character, which he subsequently placed Russell Crowe in the stockades for his "honesty".The point is Richard The English King expected and assumed that slaughtering Muslims was a Godly deed, well "History" in the form of Russell Crowe's character, who participated in the slaughter as a soldier following orders disabused Richard The Lionheart of those assumptions which as metaphor fits and is apt in characterizing and defining the professional behavior of the Virginia prison official in the duty of imprisoning Virginia citizens processed under law. Despite the fact that there is a universe of calculations and interests animating and directing the Virginia prison officials' professional behavior and attitudes in the work of administering Virginia prisons, what we know, observe and experience is the unequivocal and unambiguous fact of DEHUMANIZATION. If no human is all knowing, all seeing and omniscient then we can confidently state and declare that dehumanization of the prisoner as a pursued practice result, is just that, another petty and sordid example of gratuitous cruelty of a sadistic psychology. In the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit case, WILLIAMS v. BENJAMIN 77 F.3d. 756(1996)(which Virginia and the Virginia Department of Corrections are under its jurisdiction) gave us this ruling, citing this UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT case, WILKERSON v. UTAH 99 U.S. 130 (1878) "Deference to Prison Officials does not give them Constitutional license to torture inmates", which in plain speak is mistreat, abuse and all the synonyms of dehumanization. The UTAH case which the 4th Circuit based aspects of its decision in the WIILLIAMS case on was decided in 1878 !!!, my exclamations are not to be mistaken with surprise that THE SUPREME COURT of THE UNITED STATES was that enlightened in the 19th century, despite the DRED SCOTT decision in its history. What my exclamations underscore is the fact that Prison Officials, not only in Virginia but Nationally have understood that law prohibits and precludes them from dehumanizing THE PRISONER and the various legislators, Attorney Generals, Politicians have abrogated their mandate of pursing the holistic aspiration of each of their jurisdictional Social Contract. Likewise our Activist and Advocates who speak for Prisoners and the obligations of lawful conditions of confinement haven't been throwing it in the faces of the Prison Official that they have no Social Contractual standing to dehumanize the prisoner in the name of the People notwithstanding whatever decrepit and laughable sophistry they along with their allies dredge up as basis. Instead what we experience is the prison official behaving extra-judicially in that professionally ad hoc manner, above the law and all aspects of Society and the Social Contract turning a feckless and craven blind eye to it as if there isnt the recognition that the Prison Official actions are undermining and destroying the very terms of the Social Contract and its Due Process of Law.

DEHUMANIZATION OF THE VIRGINIA PRISONER II By William Thorpe
It isn't that the dehumanization of the Prisoner and specifically for this work, the Virginia prisoner, is the exception on the contrary it is the rule and what focusing on the dehumanization of the Prisoner allows us, is an entry point into the fact that our National Social Contract itself is one continuum, an unresolved one at that of, Dehumanization. Notwithstanding the fact that, the Declaration of Independence and Constitution of The United States, purport the affirmation of Human Life and Being, its work then begins its negation and deconstruction. In the sense that, it begun to qualify and conditionalize the nature of Social Contract terms or in other words to paraphrase Napoleon of George Orwell's Animal Farm, some animals are more equal or better than others. My concerns are not in redeeming those initial and progenitive antagonisms and hypocrisies, that is work of and for the Madisonian "more perfect union", what I labor at is in defining, the fraud perpetrated on the People of Virginia by the Virginia prison official borne on the intellectual-liberalism of the Dehumanization of the Virginia prisoner. Fraud and its practice is one that is easy and clear forward to grasp and understand and BLACK'S LAW DICTIONARY 2d EDITION defines, Fraud as 1.A knowing misrepresentation of the truth or concealment of a material fact to induce another to act to his or her detriment. And if our Virginia politicians and legislators, whom "You the People", have tasked with the privilege of ensuring that the Virginia prison official administered and executed their duties under law were not in their own light fraudulent and would exercise their oversight authority and obligations," You the People" could then determine whether you accept the dehumanization of your imprisoned sons, daughters, fathers, mothers, wives, husbands, loved ones and friends as appropriate conditions of confinement and circumstances of imprisonment. Which in turn would then mean that "You the People", wouldn't have any issues with and problems, when you are then subjected to Dehumanization by Virginia's Government, which by the way already happens. Insidiousness, which according to the current professional behavior of the Virginia prison official is a primary requirement to employment, corrodes at and in effect sabotages the very Compact nature, state and terms of the Peoples Commonwealth because it is a dynamic of fraud, concealing from the People of Virginia who are detrimentally impacted by its malfeasant machinations the necessary and formal understanding of what constitutes the professional behavior of the Virginia prison official. Yes we are sporadically given that perfunctory media accounts of Virginia prison official malbehavior and the horrific deed, but it is presented with that perfidious qualifier, such and such "convicted felon", then the claim that Virginia prison officials committed such and such, again conditionalizing the official misdeed on the prison official's terms as opposed to the terms of the act or deed. In other words despite the purported democratization of the rule of law and process, yet true to the "Animal Farm" dynamic and in contradiction of John Adams instruction, that and I paraphrase, we are a nation of laws and not men, the Virginia prison official's actions and misdeeds are presented to the People of Virginia, not as violations of law, but acts of men in uniform. Uniforms, which Bob Marley presciently in his seminal song, Burnin' And Lootin' gave us in verse as, "Uniforms of Brutality ".The point: if imprisonment is a data point in the process and administration of law and if law is theoretically the guardian of humanness, then imprisonment cannot dehumanize.
