LAW AND ORDER IN VIRGINIA HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH JUSTICE By William Thorpe

Once again reactionary Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares has the ear of Governor Glenn Youngkin in true puppet master fashion as he pursues his guile ambition of succeeding Youngkin, in that tiredly exploited law and order gambit. What the classic adage about "imitation" evidenced by Jason Miyares, law and order gambit conveniently omits and doesn't say is, it induces feeble mindlessness, because that's what virulently ails Attorney General Miyares by his consuming and singular focus of travestying, that most basic and minimal idea of 'Justice' in Virginia, that of rehabilitation. Only a megalomaniac, Nah a crass idealist would presume justice absolutism, as positive governance, because that is exactly what Attorney General Miyares has doggedly exhibited with his manic opposition to one of the most minimalist and low hanging fruit affirmations of justice, Earned Sentence Credits for the Virginia prisoner as pursued by certain practical Virginia Democrats who understand that if incentives are a primary motive force for Virginia's political-economy and its capitalism, as constructor and architect of the Virginia personhood and the Virginia voter, who voted for it, then applying that same incentive dynamic rehabilitatively as function of Virginia's justice system is positive governance. Okay,this is what Attorney General Jason Miyares, is demonstrating that he's incapable of grasping, which is the human condition is speculative, as defined by "freewill".Therefore under the governance logic all "reforms" are speculatively positive as such opposition is in principle reactionary and philistine. Virginians voted for much necessary and serious reforms of The Justice and Prison system which in 2020, Democrats to a degree delivered by revising aspects of prison sentence mitigative credits, specifically, The Earned Sentence Credits, which as a tool would incentivize prisoner rehabilitation by release from prison. In 2021, Republicans gained control of part of Virginia government and their initial acts were to scapegoat prisoners, rehabilitation and the incentivized reforms of the system by scaling back the reforms. Which The Virginia Supreme Court upbraided Attorney General Jason Miyares over the offices presented theories attacking The Earned Sentence Credit rehabilitation incentive. Now here we go, that with this 2024 legislative session, we again find Attorney General Miyares, intoxicated by his ambition and under its idealistic influence petulantly scheming to undermine prisoner rehabilitation by opposing the earned sentence credits incentive. Jason Miyares has exploited the worst of human behavior from the few to advance the short sightedness of his ambition and we don't indict him for it, because such is human nature, history is replete with it, our work however is to expose its antithetical staleness.

ONE OF THE INSIDIOUS AND UNDEMOCRATIC WAYS VIRGINIA'S LEGISLATURE HAS CEDED THE DEMOCRATIC WILL AND RULE OF LAW TO THE DICTATORSHIP OF THE VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS.... By William Thorpe

When government doesn't want to do something or when government isn't guided by the common sense of knowledge and understanding, but instead expresses the amorphous, "values", which is euphemism for the illiteracy of zealotry and ideological dogma as guide, it gives us that maxim, 'power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely', revealing that natural human propensity towards corruption. What I mean by corruption is this, the Virginia legislature has a clear understanding of its purpose and function, just as individuals we have ours and when we undermine it, that is corruption, because we have deliberately impeded the intent of function and that is what the Virginia legislature has done with its purpose and function relative to (as it concerns this work) The Virginia Department of Corrections by imposing conditions on its legislative ability to reform The Department by permitting veto of the reform through the trick of having The Department "approve" of the reform under the logic that it doesn't increase or add on to the Department's budget. Prisoners are imprisoned because of court or legal process of a conviction of violating a criminal statute which in most cases has nothing to do with the character of the convicted prisoner. But corruption is squarely an indictment of character, it sabotages humanness, it kills the essence of the human condition, by specifically betraying intrinsic "faith" in Virginia society and its Social Contract. Because as "We The People "we see through the tricks and gambits executed by our leaders pursuing the double standard of law and how others, as in this case the prison official, being above it and no amount of scapegoating the prisoner can conceal the fact, to quote George Orwell in Animal Farm, "some animals are more equal than others" as truism undermining the rule of law and no amount of the cruelty of state organized violence redeems the betrayal of social trust and the Virginia status quo understands it even more comprehensively than I can state it. What the Virginia status quo has settled on is the logic of cost benefit analysis. In other words, if governance is simply reduced to maintaining control. Then it doesn't make sense to invest in The People. Corruption thrives in the absence of scrutiny and that is what the Virginia legislature has bet on. That as it concerns prison issues no one cares, which speaks to the ignorance of our legislature, because as any cursory study of the human condition will show, justice and its perversion, its corruption has always expedited reform on the reluctant status quo. See, The Bastille prison of France which was relatively vacant of prisoners yet it has become an embodying symbol of injustice, a corruption of justice and The Social Contract and a reminder that the logic of the cost benefit analysis is always indictment.

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.
