WHAT "TOUGH ON CRIME" THE AMERICAN PRISONER FROM MAINE TO HAWAII, FROM TEXAS TO ALASKA IS SENTENCED TO OVER A BILLION YEARS, OH YOU DIDNT KNOW THAT By William Thorpe

As the finger pointing and pseudo criticism goes urban spaces are crime riddled, because of liberal politics, that coddles and the prescription is unimaginable prison sentences. Three strike laws enacted and dispensed at Liberal bastions as California, Colorado, Illinois, Michigan, hell even Pennsylvania right and our Conservative brethren the likes of Oklahoma, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina illiterated by their hypocrisy, talk the tough on crime, hating China while dispensing Chinese numbers to those caught in the spiders web of their justice industries as response to "crime". So what we have across our Nation are humans sentenced to what can only be understood as galactic light years, yup American prisoners who excusably have no clue to the relative existence of The Big Bang serving sentences that are just as incomprehensible as the calculated travelling distance of immortal light. I'm talking about Billions of years, dispensed to the convicted, to which opportunists in pursuit of speculative political power claim are liberal coddling of "criminals". In conclusion, that red dwarf star we call our Sun, will supernova and incinerate this Blue, sphere like object we call planet Earth our home (which to emphasize is BLUE, to all you red States) before the American prisoner will complete the billions of years imposed as justice. So the next time another long nosed, shiny faced, with fingers crossed behind their back tells you, that crime is a result of a lack of long prison sentences ask them, how many years has it taken light from the Big Bang to reach us. So why then are prisoners doing its miles in years.

THE VIRGINIA PRISON OFFICIAL IS A LAW BREAKING MACHINE AND THE BLAME LIES WITH VIRGINIA'S GOVERNOR GLENN YOUNGKIN, VIRGINIA'S ATTORNEY GENERAL JASON MIYARES, SPEAKER OF VIRGINIA'S HOUSE DON SCOTT, MAJORITY LEADER OF VIRGINIA'S SENATE SCOTT SUROVELL AND JUDGES OF VIRGINIA STATE AND UNITED STATES COURTS OF THE FOURTH CIRCUIT By William Thorpe

Recently Kimberly Zittlow honored us with her work indicting The Virginia Department Of Corrections as a corrupt entity. Now if The Executive of The Commonwealth of Virginia, currently personified by Governor Glenn Youngkin under whose authority The Virginia Department of Corrections and its prison official functions according to Virginia Constitutional and Statutory authorities exercised his governing prerogatives practically under the insightful integrity of perfecting and redeeming the Social Contract and not as a petty expression of colloquial ideological reinventions of the proverbial wheel. The Commonwealth won't consistently find itself (maybe I should indulge and use the formal and conventional "HER", but nah, which I'm sure the Jeffersonian nod to the Jacobins has already made my arguments) in Court rooms defending claims of prison official savagery and barbarity by the Virginia prisoner and family. Speaker Don Scott of The Virginia House and Majority Leader of The Virginia Senate, Scott Surovell both have total and comprehensive authority to call to account the Virginia prison officials law breaking behavior and also that of principally telling the Virginia citizenry that, despite its existence, it is at odds with The Social Contract and its anticipations. The integrity of a society contrary to, its in itself enabling complicity with the feudalistic political-economic presumption isn't dependent on the cruelty of the pacifying organized violence of its policing powers, instead as we are presently encountering with the gratuitous abuse of the Virginia prisoner, In other words this contemporary duty that is now appearing in the incarnated ask of calling to account prison official impunity, by Governor Glenn Youngkin, Speaker Don Scott and Majority Leader Scott Surovell is a link in the historic continuum of Virginia's antebellum delusions that despite fracturing into the idealistic foray of Civil War rebellion has always existed pulsing for it's resolving governance courage. We don't indict the inherent necessary hypocrisy of Virginia's governance. But what we state is a rejection of that corrupt thinking that demands that we as a people (the relative free and the imprisoned) have to behave as if we are under the flute like fraudulent influence of the snake charmer unable to and unwilling to say, that the cobra swaying to the flutist isn't hearing anything especially those discordant notes and is only moving to the sly swaying of the flutist huckster. I list a number of court cases by Virginia prisoners struggling to expose the savagery and barbarity of the Virginia prison official which Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares office had to defend, meaning deny. CARTER V. ELY 2024 U.S DIST. LEXIS 38334, DEFOUR V. WHITE 2024 U.S DIST. LEXIS 56423, BALTAS V. MAIGA 2020 U.S DIST. LEXIS 198290. As you study the above cases remember that the offenders are Virginia prison officials. It isn't complicated, if Governor Youngkin accepts that no one is above law, tell Virginians that.

WOULD YOU RATHER BE THE EXTREMIST ARCH-CONSERVATIVE ASSOCIATE JUSTICE OF THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES CLARENCE THOMAS OR A STREET LEVEL DRUG DEALER? By William Thorpe

Clarence Thomas and the history he labors in its defense, support and maintenance will say how dare the contrast and I get it, because the supposition is, its beyond reproach right?, Despite the glaring contradiction that, wasn't the American Revolution all about reproach and without us ,"We The People", our buy into the presumptions permitting the umbrage, there is no Supreme Court, no distinction of The Drug Dealer, no Society, no aggregate requiring laws, no politics, no supposed jurisprudential objectivity on which a Clarence Thomas can fume and shake his jowls at the juxtaposition. I chose the contrast of the street level Drug Dealer to not just the position of associate justice of The Supreme Court, but specifically and purposefully Clarence Thomas. Because Clarence Thomas presents a contemporary caricature of data point of our supposed sacrosanct Social Contract that allows and permits the most dense and sly of us, to see for themselves it's ludicrous antagonisms and deprive them of apology. If you've never read and studied Clarence Thomas court writings, I ask you do. If you've never heard him talk (yup he can) please do. What you'll encounter is classic conceit and deceit. Conceit and deceit are normal aspects of humanness. But when wielded by petty tyranny, (which is what all state functionaries are) it becomes oppressive. Recently a number of journalistic works have revealed and exposed Clarence Thomas as nothing more than a sophisticated panhandler, a gift acceptor from the extremely monied of The Social Contract even as his court writings has shown animus for such social relations. The political narrative supporting the Clarence Thomas contradiction would have us accept him as paragon of the American ethos in opposition to the recalcitrant existence of The Drug Dealer, whom as the narrative declares exemplifies the organic dysfunction of the drug dealer's environment due to governmental policies, identical to and imitative of the panhandler or, specifically "welfare".No, stay with me, don't pick your mouth of the floor yet, because that's just a fraction of the irony. Clarence Thomas who we're told is paragon of masculinity is extolled as a wholesome contrast to the deviance and criminality of the drug dealer, despite the fact that he's relatively a dependent of the Texas billionaire Harlan Crow, who supports his, familial manly responsibilities and not to ignore the spectacle of a grown man accepting gifts from another man, an occurrence even the most green and naive prisoner understands to reject, because just as the road to hell is paved with good intentions, gifts come with strings.

Okay so I've contrasted, the behavior of the acceptor of gifts and sophisticated panhandler, Clarence Thomas with the most green and naive generic American prisoner, because as associate justice of The Supreme Court of The United States, Clarence Thomas has been on an idealistic and inane crusade against the American prisoner, deploying the most absurd of reasoning in his proclamations on prison and prisoner related cases and issues and if his most reviled, the American prisoner, understands the inherent corruption of accepting gifts, then on what standing and judgement is Clarence Thomas exercising with his industrial like singularity of gift acceptance?. Conservatism as thought and world view is idealistic. Its premise is simple it defends a or the status quo, as such its operative is hypocrisy, inconsistency, impunity and dictatorial, above the law presumptions, in one word conservatism corrupts. Contrasting the behavior of the street level drug dealer with the behavior of a Clarence Thomas, which means a rejection and repudiation of the ludicrous narrative that the behavior of a grown man Clarence Thomas existing, living and subsisting on the handouts of a Texas billionaire Harlan Crow is socially superior to the underground entrepreneurial labors of the street level drug dealer, exposes the conservative inconsistency and it allows us to encounter its corruption comprehensively. If fundamentally, the purpose and function of conservatism and its thought is to maintain the status quo, then it isn't paradoxical that we find Clarence Thomas a la Jabba The Hut, affirming it. Despite the anticipation of our genus, Homo sapiens, we don't know it all, nor does potential mean access. As such the elevation of those who lead us, those who exercise police powers over us, those who dictate and impose perspective on us, must be and has to be within the accountability of affirmative practicality. A fact of our humanness and condition that hasn't been distorted and victimized by the controlling mechanism of confusing us with the perpetual ploy of rediscovering the wheel, is the acceptance as fact, that we are social beings and this is borne out by our primary interaction of trade or buying and selling. So with this as the affirmative of socialization and evidenced as corporations being legally described as persons by Clarence Thomas and his conservative stooges. The act of buying and selling as expression of human value then reveals the corruption of the gift acceptor.

Understanding Corruption within the VADOC and its Impact By Kimberly Zittlow

It’s become quite clear that widespread corruption within the Virginia Department of Corrections is pervasive and deeply entrenched, with systemic issues, abuse of power, and a culture of hostility all playing significant roles. Addressing these issues requires a concerted effort to root out corruption, strengthen oversight mechanisms, and hold accountable those responsible for misconduct.

Systemic Rot: Corruption within the Virginia Department of Corrections (VADOC) is deeply ingrained within its structures and practices. This corruption involves various forms of misconduct and abuse of power.

Exploitation of Power: The hierarchical nature of this correctional administration and its facilities provides ample opportunity for those in positions of authority to exploit their power. This exploitation can manifest in the mistreatment of inmates, favoritism, and the use of inmates as pawns in power struggles.

Culture of Abuse: In environments where corruption is rampant, a culture of abuse and hostility flourishes. This culture normalizes unethical behavior and discourages whistleblowing or reporting of misconduct.

Lack of Oversight: Without effective oversight mechanisms, corruption thrives unchecked within VADOC. Lack of transparency and accountability allows corrupt practices to go undetected or ignored.

Institutionalized Vindictiveness: In many cases, VADOC exhibits a vindictive attitude towards inmates and their loved ones. This vindictiveness is then used as a tool to maintain control and suppress dissent, further exacerbating the corrupt nature of the system.

External Influences: External factors such as political interference or pressure from special interest groups also contribute to corruption within VADOC. These influences undermine efforts to combat corruption and perpetuates a cycle of misconduct.

Collusion and Cover-ups: Corrupt individuals within VADOC often collude with each other to conceal their misconduct and to protect their interests. This collusion can extend beyond individual staff members to include entire departments or units within the organization. Cover-ups of corruption further erode trust in the institution and hinder efforts to hold wrongdoers accountable.

Fear of Retaliation: In a corrupt environment, whistleblowers or those who speak out against misconduct may face retaliation or threats to their safety. This fear of reprisal can silence potential whistleblowers and perpetuate a culture of secrecy and impunity within VADOC.

Impact on Inmates and Families: The pervasive corruption within VADOC has serious consequences for inmates and their loved ones. In addition to facing mistreatment and abuse, inmates are unfairly disadvantaged in terms of access to resources, legal representation, and opportunities for rehabilitation. Families of inmates may also suffer emotional and financial hardship as a result of corrupt practices within the correctional system.

Undermining Trust and Confidence: Corruption within VADOC undermines public trust and confidence in the criminal justice system as a whole. When those responsible for upholding the law engage in corrupt behavior, it erodes faith in the fairness and integrity of the justice system, leading to disillusionment and skepticism among the general public.

Addressing corruption within VADOC requires comprehensive reform efforts aimed at tackling underlying systemic issues, strengthening accountability mechanisms, and promoting a culture of transparency and ethical conduct. Without meaningful reform, corruption will continue to undermine the mission of VADOC and perpetuate injustice within the correctional system.

In summary, corruption within the Virginia Department of Corrections is pervasive and deeply entrenched, with systemic issues, abuse of power, and a culture of hostility all playing significant roles. Addressing these issues requires a concerted effort to root out corruption, strengthen oversight mechanisms, and hold accountable those responsible for misconduct.

In Solidarity,

PUBLIC SAFETY IS THE LAST EUPHEMISTIC REFUGE FOR THE ADMINISTRATION OF REACTION By William Thorpe

Virginia Politics and its Political-Economy, advances on and is based on two imperatives (1) Exploitation and (2) Domination. The purpose and historical-reason for Virginia as Colony was to garner wealth for its investors by exploiting its heralded resources. To accomplish the exploitation, the environment had to be dominated or controlled meaning Public Safety. Let us fast forward to Governor Glenn Youngkin's recent veto of a number of prison and criminal justice reform bills, under the sophistry and euphemistic excuse of Public Safety. The fact the bills made it to Governor Glenn Youngkin to summarily encounter the dictatorial reaction of his veto, was indicative enough of their significance to the Virginia voter who had stated, the want of the reforms, by laboring mightily to elect Democratic Representatives who would accomplish such, to which Youngkin spit in their collective faces with his veto. Only a scofflaw would ignore the fact, that Virginia's prison system, its Department of Corrections and the entire justice infrastructure demands and needs reform. Progress or Justice isn't a zero sum endeavor, where one value subjectively triumphs or wins over whatever is considered the other. Because were that the case, Virginia as Commonwealth, as entity wouldn't even exist, because its progress contrary to myth, which are no more than conventional lies hasn't been borne on any value, any morality save that of development and the interactive equitable space carved within the compelling tensions of its Social Contract struggles and that always requires the correcting honesty of reform. To dismiss this fact with veto, as Governor Youngkin indulged in, is and has always been the historical Achilles vulnerability of the dictator and its presumptions. There is nothing settled with Virginia's ideas of justice. There isn't any "Black Letter",anything, especially when the subjective of The Governor cannot and will not set aside arrogance and recognize that, if progress is development without monopolistic and farcical claims to ideological supremacy, then the only recognizable facts are what we know to be idealistic and impractical because of their failures, i.e Virginia Republicans in 1995 abolished parole as the end all to the instance of crime, yet in 2024 not only are we told that crime is the major issue, implying abolishing parole was a failure, but again, Republicans who claimed to know it all in 1995 with their parole stunt are again telling us they know better with veto of ideas that haven't even been tried. Therefore, the reformation of an impracticality is the pursuit of good governance,which is also a recognition of the adage, insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome, which is what Governor Glenn Youngkin ask of us with his vetoes.What is striking and revelatory of the vetoes is the unapologeticness, because besides exploiting the Public Safety gambit,Youngkin makes no bones that his veto is ideological and it has nothing to do with what's in the developmental interest of Virginia.What's in the developmental interest of Virginia, what is progressive for Virginia is the recognized and practical honesty, that imprisoned Virginians whose condition, the vetoed reforms were intended to address will return to society and subjecting them to the gratuitous barbarism of Virginia's current imprisonment scheme is indefensible and cannot even be justified on the opportunity metric of cost benefit analysis.
