We’ve been talking about this concept—the Great Back Pedal—under the rubric of searching for an exit strategy. We’ve seen that our Rulers don’t feel able to simply do a sudden pivot, they have to engage in what appears to be “double downing” even as they back pedal.
Laura Dodsworth in the UK has a nice piece on this whole elaborate dance. Read it all, but here are some quick takeaways. First a quote regarding BoJo’s parties at Downing St.:
On a separate matter, but also contextual to back pedalling, there is currently widespread and righteous condemnation about Downing Street parties. I'm more interested in the fact that they felt safe to be at a party. The attendees did not stay at home to help save lives and protect the NHS. They did not act like they had it, or seem worried that a cup of coffee would cost lives, etcetera. Why weren’t they terrified?
Were government officials wilfully reckless, or did they actually possess a reasonable understanding of their risk, while conveying an entirely different sense of risk to the population? I suggest the latter, since they had the best available data. After all, we know that they knew that we knew we weren’t all at equal risk. Exhibit A in the thesis of my book A State of Fear is the set of SPI-B minutes, dated 22nd March 2020:
“A substantial number of people still do not feel sufficiently personally threatened; it could be that they are reassured by the low death rate in their demographic group… The perceived level of personal threat needs to be increased among those who are complacent, using hard-hitting emotional messaging.”
And now here’s Dodsworth discussing this concept of the elaborate two step dance: back pedaling while doubling down:
This guy Ickes lays it out pretty cogently with a hopeful prediction. If you can get past the intro by Rose, some really insightful stuff about the criminal's methods. "The speed of the tyranny is determined by the speed of the acquiescence". They can't succeed, there are not enough of them , if enough of us refuse to acquiesce. https://www.bitchute.com/video/FGgy0Gz6I78W/

Just imagine if they backpedaled after "14 days to slow the spread".
