WHAT DOES GOD AND THE DEVIL HAVE TO DO WITH THE MALFEASANCE, MALVERSATION, IMPUNITY, EXTRA-JUDICIAL BEHAVIOR OF CHADWICK DOTSON, DIRECTOR OF THE VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS AND HIS COLLEAGUE EMPLOYEES By William Thorpe

First of all, let me state this, let me say it again yes Director Chadwick Dotson and his colleague employees are professionally corrupt, but their corruption doesn't exist independent of The People of Virginia. Yes the average Virginian is ignorant of what is done by its government in their name, which The Virginia Department Of Corrections is. Nonetheless, Virginia as collective is culpable. The dust hasn't settled over the unfathomable and unconscionable recent incidents of Virginia prisoners pursuing self-immolation as speech, despite the fact that, those usual enabling suspects have been double-timing their efforts at sweeping it under that tired and worn rug of "irreproach" of Chadwick Dotson and co. So once again we have experienced Virginia's mainstream and for profit corporate media continuing it's "fifth column" work by pushing the adversarial or anti-The People partisan labor of being a status quo petty functionary and Virginia Department of Corrections Shill. Of course this description of Virginia's media, is accurate and apt, its more than enough that those executives, reporters, commentators and opinion-columnist running The Commonwealth's media are seldom called to account for what and in whose interest is for example, parroting the obscene and clearly insane explanatory defense offered by the hapless and clearly in over his head Director of The Virginia Department of Corrections, Chadwick Dotson, that prisoners under his supervision and care where not engaging in the desperate speech of self-immolation, because they only managed to set their legs on fire?.I mean a type of demographic of Virginian have been regularly and systemically eviscerated by those same well fed and shiny faced corporate media executives for attitudes and less behavior than Director Dotsons'.Yet when Chadwick Dotson does it, presents a logic so spurious that neither God and the devil would dare with a straight face embrace, our media, true to their petty functionary fifth columnism not only are pathetically silent, but craven in challenging its malfeasant and insidious brazenness. Let me for the whatever time say this, our critique and polemic against Chadwick Dotson and Co. Isn't adverse to and against the requisite accountability expected of "We The People", as dynamic of The Social Contract in other words, we accept and understand the "responsibility" factor of our human condition. What we oppose is that mockery of "equal under law "and its "above law "practice engaged in and weaponized by status quo hypocrisy and enabled by the craven media. Facts are facts independent and regardless of circumstance. So despite the expenditure of treasure and labor in pursuing what the mythical Chinese writer of two thousand years ago, either the 4th or 6th B.C, LAO-TZE in his seminal work, THE TAO TEH KING or THE TAO AND IT'S CHARACTERISTICS, told us or rather instructed at part one, pp 8 (2) THEREFORE THE SAGE, IN THE EXERCISE OF HIS GOVERNMENT EMPTIES THEIR MINDS, FILLS THEIR BELLIES, WEAKENS THEIR WILL AND STRENGTHEN THEIR BONES (continues at) (3) HE CONSTANTLY (TRIES TO) KEEP THEM WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE AND WITHOUT DESIRE, AND WHERE THERE ARE THOSE WHO HAVE KNOWLEDGE TO KEEP THEM FROM PRESUMING TO ACT (ON IT) WHEN THERE IS THIS ABSTINENCE FROM ACTION, GOOD ORDER IS UNIVERSAL (then it continues at )part two (65.1) THE ANCIENTS WHO SHOWED THEIR SKILL IN PRACTISING THE TAO DID SO, NOT TO ENLIGHTEN THE PEOPLE, BUT RATHER TO MAKE THEM SIMPLE AND IGNORANT.(continues at) (2) THE DIFFICULTY IN GOVERNING THE PEOPLE ARISES FROM THEIR HAVING MUCH KNOWLEDGE..... and folks what I've just excerpted from a 2000 year old book is exactly the state of affairs in Governor Glenn Youngkin's Virginia, where the media is actively complicit in keeping us the people ignorant and simple minded to the savagery and barbarity of The Virginia Prison System as governed and administered by the Chadwick Dotson and Co. Regime.

We shouldn't simply accept the Public Safety invocation by Director Chadwick Dotson and Co. as some sort of shibboleth carte Blanche, a get out of jail absolution, excusing away Virginia Department Of Corrections practices that are unconditionally backwards, reactionary, idealistic, gratuitously violent and dehumanizing, once again under the arbitrary rubric of "public safety". Look folks this illustrates and outlines the work of reforming Virginia's Justice Infrastructure and the Prison system. The practice of any governing and political authority declaring designation of activity under its specific and particular self-interest isn't novel, for instance what was the declared designation of the means of the ascribed "terror" of The French Revolution? It was THE COMMITTEE OF PUBLIC SAFETY and The French administration of it's organized revolutionary violence under the banner and bureaucracy of "public safety" wasn't and as The Commonwealth of Virginia is reminding us via its arbitrary and speculative invocation by Chadwick Dotson and Co. isn't and won't be the last in our human condition, that it is used at the expense of and the "faith" in the variegated terms and acceptance of Social Contract or "equality under law". The rule is when government, is confronted with, which The Virginia Department of Corrections is, that inevitable corruption inherent and intrinsic to its philosophical supposititious and speculations, by its above the law and extra-judicial behavior as currently evidenced by and presented in stark relief by all the pretzel bending and shape shifting mockery of its own premises, it resorts to that most lawless and undemocratic of reactions, the usurpation and appropriation of word utility. So naturally and consequently we see and have Chadwick Dotson and Co. deploying and maximally exploiting it as defense to the savagery and barbarity of their actions. I'm quite sure and certain that none of our political leaders and legislators dare claim omniscience, neither does the Virginia citizenry and whether or not the psychosis of supremacism and megalomania lurks under the rocky havens of our holdover compatriots is besides the point and irrelevant, the facts are laws as parameters and definitions of The Social Contract are constantly being changed, repealed and revised which are proof of our fallibility, hell even the Biblical God expressed fallibility through revision as second guessing of what was done. I make this point to convey that we are on solid ground and footing in our challenge of the appropriated utility of "public safety" as exploited by Virginia prison officials in their efforts at compromising accountability and the requisite transparency for the application of "faith" in the rule of law and its process. Now the responsibility of the Virginia citizenry, The People is to sharpen focus and attention on all that is being done in their name by The Virginia Department Of Corrections because if prisoners under the supervision and care of Chadwick Dotson and Co. have to resort to the desperate speech of self-immolation, as we recently have experienced, to which Chadwick Dotson and Co. dismissed, under their corruption of the, what is Public Safety utility, The People have only one question, whose?.

YES THERE IS MORE TO VIRGINIA'S STATUS QUO CONTINUATION OF SHIPPING VIRGINIA PRISONERS TO OTHER STATE'S PRISON SYSTEM..... by William Thorpe

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

So currently Virginia has, since May 29, 2019 exiled William Thorpe to the Texas Prison system. Gerald McNabb has been sent to Wyoming. A number of prisoners, Rodney Antonio Tucker, to Tennessee, Raymond D. Taylor, to Nevada, Bernard Meeks, to Missouri, Leon Crowe, to Illinois, Christopher Lee Joyner, to Illinois, Michael S. Edwards, to New Mexico, Winston NaJee Reed, to Nevada, Kevin A. Canada, to South Carolina, Uhuru Sekou Obataiye-Allah, to Oregon, North Carolina, Maryland, Lamont O'Shea Douglas, to New Jersey. These are just some of the names of Virginia prisoners shipped to other State Prison Systems. Let me stress, these listed names are just some, the tip of the iceberg. In an earlier work, titled, "JUST AS VIRGINIA SLAVE OWNERS DURING SLAVERY WOULD SHIP CERTAIN ENSLAVED TO OTHER PLANTATIONS, THE VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS HAS KEPT UP THE PRACTICE BY SHIPPING CERTAIN PRISONERS TO OTHER PRISON SYSTEMS", I spoke on how Virginia has continued the practice all through the 1980's.I explained how, there are two types of out of state transfers or as the practice is labeled, INTERSTATE COMPACT, with the first being INVOLUNTARY--meaning the prisoner is forcibly without consent shipped out of state (the listed names were for the most part involuntary transfers) the other type of transfer is VOLUNTARY-meaning the prisoner ask for it, seeks it. Now the Virginia Department of Corrections understands and is completely aware that shipping a Virginia prisoner out of state, hundreds or thousands of miles away from Virginia is counterproductive to the very purpose of its logic of imprisonment and its at odds with its own mission statement. Nonetheless it still does it and what this practice shows and reveals is what we already know and understand, which is, Law, its administrative policies and procedures as applied by the State of Virginia are contrivances, conveniences, means to ends. So for example see this case, DOUGLAS V. CHAPMAN 2022 U.S. DIST. LEXIS 133143, this case deals with a Virginia prisoner shipped to the New Jersey prison system and the hardships and obstacles being out of state places and imposes on a prisoners parole prospects. Parole, even in the conditional optimal circumstance of the Virginia prisoner being in State is a rocky ask, now factor in that the prisoner is out of State, making it virtually impossible for a realistic possibility for parole. A prisoner from one State held in another State making parole, is one of those Unicorn fantasies. But, despite the fact Virginia along with all her sister state prison systems justify their purpose as returning the imprisoned citizen to society as a functioning member, the practice of involuntarily shipping prisoners to alien systems belies it.

First of all we have to stop playing these delusional relationship games with The Justice Infrastructure, The prison system and Virginia's application of both. The question or issue has never been about the materialization of a supposed or presumed "perfection" in human affairs, its condition and What is Justice. Forever we have participated in a laughable but destructive state of accepted hypocrisy in all aspects of our human condition, to the point that the functioning narrative for the hypocrisy is, blaming the other. Because as it applies to the functions of The Virginia Department Of Corrections, it's every single operational expression is contrary to it's authority, which no matter how its excused, with whatever chosen sophistry we use as blinders, the fact is starkly revealed that the colloquial fly in the ointment, as consistently scapegoated isn't the convicted and imprisoned person, but the comical and hapless betrayal of the collective aspiration of what is justice and it's effort of process. If the average frazzled Virginian going about their daily pursuits of existence is honestly ignorant or snarkly apathetic about the state and condition of The Commonwealth's Prison System and their grasp and idea is that simplistic parroting of, "don't do the crime if you can't do the time". Then we can contextualize it as that sort of citizenship, necessary for the existence of a neo-feudalistic politics in service of the practice of a governmental organized violence, where the prison system as foot soldier is "above the law", unaccountable and a terroristic mechanism of controlling the people. Which is exactly how The Virginia Department of Corrections is used. There isn't a specific violation of law by The Department in its operations, but a comprehensive and general one. This is a result of that hold over from its genesis, which is, Virginia's history of the chattel enslavement of Black People and the indentured servitude of a type of White Person. Where the human being was reduced to the hypocrisy of something less. As such when Virginia exploited its imprisonment scheme as substitute and replacement for its loss of labor for its slavery political-economy after losing the civil war of 1860, which was fought to maintain the enslavement of people, specifically Black People, it inculcated the dehumanizing character of slavery into it under cover of a perverse application of "justice".Yes, historically in human affairs, running afoul of law, social norms and customs brought on punishment and sanction but not the less than human narrative we encounter in Virginia's practice of imprisonment. Historically, when people were adjudged without Virginia's slavery deviation and were condemned to death, the humanity was still retained. The inevitable result of this antagonistic fact of a purported application of "justice" is its above the law presumptions of the Virginia prison official, where the prison official, their oversight political overlords and the Virginian in whose name all of this mess is done, claim and profess to comply with law and accountability, pursue its equality and the faith and trust in The Social Contract, while mocking the entire construct by the simple fact of denying the humanity of The Virginia Prisoner. The proof of this denial is in every single thing the prison official does.

VIRGINIA GOVERNOR GLENN YOUNGKIN AND HIS DIRECTOR OF THE VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, CHADWICK DOTSON ARE INSULTING THE INTELLIGENCE OF THE PEOPLE OF VIRGINIA By William Thorpe

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

On November 27, 24 Director Chadwick Dotson of The Virginia Department of Corrections, made public the department's position on the incidents of prisoner self-immolation at it's Red Onion State Prison Koncentration Kamp. Chadwick Dotson as Director of The Virginia Department of Corrections not only serves at the privilege of the Governor of Virginia, Glenn Youngkin, but specifically advances Youngkin's comprehensive world view on criminal justice and the prison system, in other words Youngkin is rewarded with praise and accolades when and if Dotson navigates the justice and prison system conscientiously, but when his actions are reactionary, savage and barbaric as, most of the time they relatively are, then Youngkin gets the appropriate opprobrium and Dotson's 11/27/24 statement on prisoner self-immolation are another tired example of this. Now let me say this, yes Youngkin, Dotson and every single last Virginia government employee are speaking for and theoretically doing the will and intentions of the people of Virginia, as such its a privilege to which they are primarily responsible and accountable for their performance. However the people of Virginia have final responsibility and culpability for the subsequent betrayal and the resulting abrogation of faith in their Social Contract, when it is consistently compromised by actions of their political leaders as Chadwick Dotson. Instead of responding to the poignant and horrific events of prisoner self-immolation at Red Onion State Prison Koncentration Kamp, Director Chadwick Dotson played the intelligence of the people of Virginia with mocking deflections, conclusionary sophistry and outright comments unbefitting a public servant as the Director of Virginia's Department of Corrections. Because what exactly are we to make of Director Dotson's remarks of firstly, (and I paraphrase) blaming advocates and abolitionist wanting to score political points.Then he goes on to say there wasn't any immolation because prisoners only set their legs on fire. He continues with those prisoners, who by his own admission set themselves on fire, have a history of self harm.You know what quite frankly Chadwick Dotson, with his 11/27/24 comments on prisoner self-immolation at Red Onion State Prison Koncentration Kamp has only and simply confirmed all that has been said about his unfitness to be in any position of leadership in Virginia's Justice Infrastructure and the Prison System. Furthermore Dotson's statement reveals a callousness that shouldn't be held by any human, least a public official. What Director Dotson told us with his statement is, because humans under his care in Virginia prison cages weren't burnt to a smoldering crisp and only burnt legs, its no big deal? That because those prisoners have previously engaged in self-harm, therefore we should dismiss reports of self-immolation? And as a matter of fact isn't Dotson's disclosure of prisoner mental health information by claiming there is history of self-harm a violation of Virginia and Federal law? Listen people nothing I'm saying is news, a study of Virginia and its Federal Courts will reveal the tens of thousands of Virginia prisoner claims of the savagery and barbarity reflective of the mindset of Director Chadwick Dotson, which is pathetically indicative of the antagonistic effects of the permeation of the wink and nod tolerance of some are above the law canker, revealed in the dismissiveness of accounts of Virginia prisoner self-immolation.
