SOCIETY IS STRUCTURED ON IDEAS PART V By William Thorpe

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

This is Part V in this STRUCTURED-ON IDEAS series. I have been providing Family, Ally and Friends of the Virginia Prisoner [which by the way as I'm always careful to remind us isn't only for the Virginia Prisoner, but also the Federal and National Prisoner]. My underlying basis remains unchanged, which is to remind, Family, Ally and Friends of the Imprisoned, that Society or the Social Contract is an entity structured on ideas, ideas that are conceived in the brains of fellow humans and considering that no one and I emphasize, no one, NOT even GOD [that is if one is a believer] has all the answers. As such the only guarantor that the concerned life existence is able to confront and ablate, the obvious and inevitable idealistic formulations presented as incontrovertible facts, by the IDEA INDUSTRY, is to first and foremost recognize and acknowledge that notwithstanding the voters electoral activity, purveyors and components of the IDEA INDUSTRY are hard at work influencing the elected Legislature or Policy maker, along with Judges and other branches of the Administrative State be it on the Federal or State level. So what I'm saying is that simple, if you can't, won't or don't speak for yourself or your aggregate life experience then someone else most definitely will and we won't like what is said nor will it be in our interest. Before I provide another grouping of lists of works. I want to explain that I want to use an item from that typical forum where that battle of ideas are waged daily, to illustrate examples of these structures of constructs that are how we actually "create" ourselves, which is the Jurisprudence of law. I will be using a case decided on April 18,2024 by the Supreme Court of Virginia, VASQUEZ v. DOTSON 303 VA. 97, to make certain basic points. A brief intro to the VASQUEZ, case. Virginia Democrats when in control of Virginia's Government, in 2020 to their credit and benefit of the People of Virginia passed certain laws reforming Virginia's imprisonment scheme and conditions. Which relatively modified the corrupt schemes plyed on the Virginia People by Republicans in 1995 with the abolishment of Parole. I characterize it correctly as corrupt, because besides its idealistic political-theological opportunism, but the same Virginia Republicans who, along with the complicity of Virginia's mainstream and corporate media and the other usual collaborators, after foisting it as an end all and cure all of "crime", on the tired of it all Virginia citizenry, were the same ones as soon as losing their bid, like Jerry Kilgore for Statewide office, exploited their bureaucratic knowledge of, Virginia governance which, as a matter of fact are the intellectual property of the People of Virginia, with securing parolesque or Parole-like release of prisoners, whom along with the Macaca infamy branded in perpetuity George Allen had scapegoated to repress and suppress the People of the Commonwealth with their neo-antebellumnesque designs. What the VASQUEZ case dealt with, was as soon as republicans under Glenn Youngkin and Jason Miyares seized control of Virginia governance in 2022 , their priorities were to repeal those prison reforms Democrats had provided the Virginia people and when they were stymied in their efforts, they set upon a tack of undermining the reforms with the active and overt help of the Virginia Prison Official, which exposed clearly where their allegiances lay. So the VASQUEZ case took on the illegal activities of Republican governance and Virginia Department of Corrections collusion to subvert the clear and unambiguous language of the law, [Va .Code 53.1-202.3 and 53.1-202.3 (B).

Also Virginia along with other sister States have State generated or Government versions of the IDEA INDUSTRY, that is produced by the Attorney General of the State and in Virginia its called OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL. These so-called Opinions just as products of the broader IDEA INDUSTRY are ideology dressed up as understandings of what the Law says that all Administrative heads and Legislators can submit questions for quasi explanations and elaborations of questions of law, which in actuality are hints seeking collusion. So we see this clearly with what the Director of the Virginia Department of Corrections, Harold Clarke put into effect by asking Jason Miyares the Commonwealth's Attorney General of the newly minted Republican Administration of Governor Glenn Youngkin on April 18, 2022,about the legality of the 53.1-202.3 law reforming the Earned Sentence Credits scheme. Harold Clarke's gambit was he is kindred to the reactionaries of the Republican Administration of Youngkin, so by purporting to seek guidance from Jason Miyares he was telegraphing to the Youngkin administration that he'd do his part in undermining the 53.1-202.3 law, to which Miyares promptly responded on April 25,2022, effectively telling Clarke that he should ignore the law and it is this violation that Mr. Jose Isais Garcia Vasquez challenged in the case VASQUEZ v. DOTSON 303 VA., 97 which People Mr. Vasquez won and the Supreme Court of Virginia ordered his release from Prison. Now this is what I want to share from the case as illustration and example of how the structure of the Virginia citizenry's life existence isn't actually based and just defined by the proactive behavior of electoral behavior but by what the Citizenry isn't aware of. In so many words and we see this principle in the Biology and Physics of existence, where a major part of our DNA structure exist in our ignorance's of its function. We see the same thing where what is designated, Dark Matter, occupies most of Space to our ignorance of its function. So in the VASQUEZ Case the Supreme Court of Virginia gave us this Jurisprudence and I'll excerpt it...."Under Virginia law," [c]riminal punishment serves a number of purposes, including INCAPCITATION,DETERRENCE and RETRIBUTION "[all caps are my emphasis]... Walker v. Commonwealth, 302 VA.304, see also Woodard v. Commonwealth 287 VA.276 Wilbon v. Saunders 170 VA.153.With these purposes in mind, Virginia's Sentencing Guidelines seek " to ensure the imposition of APPROPRIATE and JUST Criminal Penalties....especially for the effective INCAPACITATION of violent criminal offenders "Code sec.17.1-801 in support of these goals the General Assembly has provided various "tools for REHABILITATION of criminals", Peyton v. Commonwealth 208 VA.503 premised on the belief that REHABILITATION THAT IS TRULY EFFECTIVE reduces recidivism. [again all caps are my emphasis]. Legislating within this penological context, the General Assembly in 2020 increased the availability of Earned Sentence Credits "as an incentive for good behavior and rehabilitative activity while incarcerated" Prease 302 VA at 379,888 S.E.2d at 759. Accepting this as the DECLARED purpose of the Legislation, the Parties ask us to choose between their disparate views on whether the legislature intended Enhanced Sentence Credits to apply to criminals convicted of conspiring to commit murder. In addressing this question, however we ask "not what the legislature intended to enact, but what is the meaning of that which it did enact." People as I indicated all of the words that I fully capitalized from the portion of the Vasquez case are my emphasis, which I highlight to make this point. When the deciding Judges in the Vasquez case use and quote words as, INCAPACITATION, DETERRENCE, RETRIBUTION, APPROPRIATE, JUST and DECLARED.

Why am I focusing on the vocabulary applied by Virginia Supreme Court Judges in a open and shut Habeas case, in the context of Society or the Social Contract is Structured on and a composite of IDEAS. Because beyond the classic definition and understanding that language or vocabulary are conceptual tools, vocabulary is in fact Technological, encompassing thesis, antithesis and the approximate synthesis which to put it simply is sword and plowshare, interchangeably. So with this established, I want to focus on the vocabulary imbued in the VASQUEZ case. So words or vocabulary in legal processes can in themselves create law where none existed or deny its presence despite its existence and that is why the Social Contract or the existence of the socio-person is much more an establishment of IDEAS than the heavy lifting of that initial electoral activity. This brings me to the why of this series which I started 4 parts ago. Because to put it bluntly everything that are obstacles, welcoming portals or incentives and disincentives are what we either struggle, fight or War against. Which is the insight von Clausewitz postulated and Chaka Zulu with his practice stated and I paraphrase that, War is Politics by another name or means and the fact is its successful application is subsequently based on to what extent one is aware of the supporting, determining and animating IDEA of the activity. So when Virginia Judges state that criminal punishment in Virginia is intended to accomplish any number of anticipations, which despite being formulated on legislative action voted in by Representatives of the People, and the very idea of "representation" itself characterizes how inadequate and anticipatory of its accompanying latent corruption, as means of dealing with systemic forces unleashed, its very terms is incapable of not only resolving but reconciling. Then add on and combine a structural ignorance of the very voters. We can easily see how that aphorism, "in the land of the blind the one-eyed is King", not only fits but as that other simplification of determining an entire history of a political-economy by observation and grasp of its daily occurrence of "buying and selling", only reinforces the pure unbridled farcical nature of the injustices of what ignorance of whatever the IDEAS dictating those applied terms of the Social Contract are. For Family, Ally and Friends of the Imprisoned listed are the Part V of this continuity of the STRUCTURED-ON IDEAS series.
