If all men listened to women trying to hold them back, nothing would ever get done. And vice versa—if all women listened to men trying to hold them back, nothing would ever get done.
You offer no evidence or facts to support your counsel. Do you know that Lev is not listening to his wife and kids? Do you know they want him to be more careful and look after himself first?
In my view, this is attempted influence by a fearful woman, and is exactly what Lev does not need right now. Its professed piety and well-wishing is just a cover for cowardice.
Try to put your fears away, and give Lev wholehearted support. If you listen, that is what he's asking for.
What I hear Jill expressing is her love and concern for Lev. She wants him to look out for himself as well as he looks out for others, including us. Rather similar in my mind to how one may counsel their kids to do their best for their teachers, coaches and others that day as they shuffle them off to school, but don’t, they might remind them, forget to look out for Numero Uno also.
I didn’t get that she intended to “hold him back” at all, rather to send her affection and appreciation his way.
Thank you, Randy. That was exactly the sentiment I was hoping to convey. It wasn’t an ORDER, like I was trying to control his life. It was simply a message of compassion and kindness, NOT one of fear or cowardice.
Apparently with 138 “likes”, I wasn’t the only one who felt compassion and empathy for the sacrifice Lev and his family have already made. I didn’t know that it was a prerequisite to “have evidence or facts” to extend care and concern for another human being.
Undoubtedly, this WILL NOT be the only time that I extend concern or compassion towards others, WITHOUT having to prove evidence or facts.
Not the only one at all, and I hope I’m clear on this, includes Yours Truly. I received your message (above) in an email and answered you back, at some length, to YOUR email I thought, and then got a message from Substack that it didn’t go through. My bad, I guess I haven’t figured out all the machinations of this platform. Anyway, I got your back, I feel the same as you do on this. I don’t get gesture of love going to a struggle for power? Dominance? Undue influence? IDK.
I don’t know why Substack even gives an email because I rarely ever check them.
I probably left you two responses because I thought I had lost the first.
I responded back to Penelope Lane, in which I TRIED to keep it cordial, however, that doesn’t seem to work very well when I am singled out by someone who makes judgment of my character just from reading a one paragraph comment, nor do they know diddly about me, …nor was it directed to them.
But I was trying to point out the difference between what Jill intends to say, no doubt what she believes she is saying, and what comes across in the actual text of her message.
She is telling Lev what to do. That is the behaviour of the fussing overbearing mother. It is an attempt to control him, not support him. It is not an expression of selfless support. It is bolstering her own ego, her own importance in this context.
We see this sort of thing all the time in the behaviour of my sex. And the propaganda pressures us to give such women the benefit of the doubt: "they mean the best", as you say.
But in the final analysis, we are all exhorted to know ourselves. Mothers who believe they are right to interfere regardless, are no exception to this rule.
The question raised by Jill's post is, in my view:
Encourage and support? Give them power?
Or:
Control and suffocate? Retain power for yourself?
Thanks for your thoughts. I appreciate the discussion.
First let me say, WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE QUESTIONING THE INTENTION OF MY MESSAGE TO LEV?
The message was NOT sent to you, NOR WAS IT OPEN FOR YOUR INTERPRETATION!
I am not afraid of anything nor am I a coward or an overbearing mother.
However, I am, always have been and always will be, a kind and compassionate person, to whom ever I choose, regardless of anyone else’s, including your, fucking opinion.
Obviously, you believe that you have the right to analyze, what I “intended to say” and “how it came across”, without reading the HUNDREDS of messages from other caring and compassionate individuals conveying that same concern to Lev.
The comments which are made to the author of the post, really are none of your damn business.
Perhaps you would have better luck trying to bully someone on your own playing field.
Like I said I loves a woman (or man) that sticks to their guns. And BTW, Penelope, which amendment of THE FUCKING CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA guarantees a person the right to their own personal freedom of expression?
I have been saying this all along, The Baltics are next. Every indicator points to Russia going after Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia. Kaliningrad is the key to keep Russia at bay. Poland is on one side , Lithuania on the other.
Yes, Lev, we appreciate all you do, and Aaron and Malcom, but health and family come first, and then community. We will always be the first here to back you up, and we are not going anywhere. We always look forward to your truth and I know many rely on you first, but we need you to take care of yourself so you can report the truth to us. Sending blessings to you.
If one cares about all humanity, then there is no hierarchy of who comes first, because we are all equal in our humanity. This is what the new Pope Leo pointed out to that wannabe "Christian", JD Vance, who tried to say exactly what you have just said.
There is a great deal of garbage talked about "family". Claims about its meaning and status need to be critically examined, just like everything else.
I do agree family does not always have to be biological but in Lev’s case for this moment I want him to take care of himself and his family. I totally believe in humanity and there should be no barriers. Thank you for your perspective.
Yes, thanks for your response Pamela. After what Lev has been through in his earlier life, I’m betting that he has reserves of as-yet-untapped resilience. And I’m betting too that if his wife didn't like what he's doing, she'd have left him years ago. But I am just guessing, after all…
I find it useful to think of three basic types of FAMILY:
a) BIOLOGICAL—inherited, genetic, ruled by Jehovah (Old Testament in the Christian religion, Judaism, Islam, all other religions around the world existing in Old Testament times, for each of whom Jehovah gave specific teachings tailored to their tribe and their own particular circumstances)
b) SOCIAL—with the advent of the modern nation state, expanding of the understanding of family to include non-biological elective families such as adopted children, gay families, newly composed families; some indications of this existed in earlier times, e.g. the custom in Celtic cultures of sending the child to live with the uncle for a period, reflected in their distinction between "kith" and "kin"
c) UNIVERSAL HUMAN—with the coming of Christ to Earth 2000 years ago, an ability to perceive the human race as a whole, and to accept our common shared humanity; this gave rise to such understandings as the "common good", but obviously it remains to be fully realised; in this context, the Christian religion may be understood as a bridging affair; in today's world, the Christ-Love is understood to embrace the whole world, it is actually possible to speak of "the Christ after Christianity" (i.e. Christ after the times of the Christian religion—in this context, sectarianism becomes obsolete )
Perhaps the thing I find most delightful about Lev is that he is a Jew whose lived values ablyreflect the most progressive Christ-Love, far beyond the primitivism expressed in many latter-day pentecostal evangelical cults.
Hope some of this may be a little helpful… thanks!
LEV FOLLOWERS! Let’s all follow each other so that we can keep each other abreast of what we’re finding out and we’re ready to mobilize, at least through SubStack, as a group.
Lev—Your incredible breadth of knowledge is exactly what everyone needs… you’re practically predicting everything. In fact, you are predicting this crap! But also explaining it, and the meaning & roll of who all is behind it…..
WE ALL should investigate Witkoff 😡 and his son…. Just for starters. All of these people are employees or dark supporters of the Kremlin
TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF Lev
I’m just 2 years older than you & I need glasses damnit I’m blind all of the sudden!
Getting old is not for pussies
Physically, this has been a rough week! I hope you got to eat something fabulous, get a massage, or just chill with the family this weekend.
If not !!—-your prescription from Dr. Catherine says get on it 🫡 Commander Lev 💪🏼🇺🇸❤️
What's your thoughts on P2025? Somebody told me to read it last year and I did..3 times. It's incredible to me that ppl are surprised. The Republican Mandate is no joke. I'm trying very hard not to post bc I don't like being assaulted but I pay my $ to comment too and my impression is that everyone should read P2025 and BBB. I've had them both downloaded on my phone since last year. You wouldn't be shocked right now had you read it.
Thank you Lev. I'm glad I follow you. Get some rest.
Within just a few days of Putin's invasion of Ukraine I started hearing he wouldn't stop with Ukraine. Since then I haven't seen or heard much about it at all from the Media, and I've been looking. Why would Putin stop there? He won't. And that's the scariest part.
Lev, what’s the story with Detachment 201, a new unit of the Army Reserves aka the Army’s Executive Innovation Corps? It seems 4 big tech executives—one from Palentin, one from META, and two from OpenAI were sworn in as Lt. Colonels. What the actual hell? They jumped through the ranks awfully fast 🙄🙄 Why isn’t the news sharing this?
I poked around and found some coverage on MSN. They were sworn in before the Anniversary of the Army last Saturday. Not a word. Nothing from any other media source. NOTHING from the ragass in the White house. It'll be interesting to follow if there's anything to follow. You really have to dig to find news from the media.
I know! I searched too. The very brief articles sound so bleh, neutral, no big deal. I say it on TT from @iampoliticsgirl One rank below general? No boot camp? I’m not in the military, but it seems pretty insulting to me that this tech bros are just handed this rank. I’m assuming it comes with access to secure information as well. 🤷🏻♀️ What it’s for is what I’m interested in. Also, what are all the other things happening that we’re not catching?
My message came from my heart & my soul so excuse me if my message didn’t sit right with you.
I was trying to not come across as bossy. We all need to take care of each other right now, I care about you & I don’t even know you, however our paths have crossed. Peace is all I want ♥️
Project 2025 is only the outline. The playbook to create this chaos is spelled out in the paper written by Harlan Ullman and James Wade Jr. called SHOCK AND AWE - Achieving Rapid Dominance. This should be read by every American to know what to expect from the Trump administration and their chaos and smoke screen offense against America.
I disagree with Michael Cohen agreeing with this, because like you said - why now? Michael's gotta get out of his revenge-head and start thinking more strategically. Is he out of his depth on global affairs? I just don't know, but I do not agree with him that this strike on Iran was necessary NOW. Thank you for the update, Lev!
Lev, just like we are all telling your son…you need to take care of yourself first!!!
You have sacrificed so much for all of us and others around the globe, your wife and family NEED you to take care of yourself.
Then report what’s going on. Please.
If all men listened to women trying to hold them back, nothing would ever get done. And vice versa—if all women listened to men trying to hold them back, nothing would ever get done.

He'll go all the way to the Carpathians.
Putin and Trump will go all the way around the world and back if they are not stopped. And we so far are doing a piss poor job in that respect!
People time to really fight back now
NATIONWIDE STRIKE- FULL STOP
Just stunning, Lev. Thank you for this. I can’t believe how OUT OF TOUCH main stream media is…
Yes, Lev, we appreciate all you do, and Aaron and Malcom, but health and family come first, and then community. We will always be the first here to back you up, and we are not going anywhere. We always look forward to your truth and I know many rely on you first, but we need you to take care of yourself so you can report the truth to us. Sending blessings to you.

I don’t want to sound like your Mother here, however, please find a way to get a good solid rest Lev.💙
If you don't want to sound like his mother, then please don't, Cindy.
You could have said: "Sorry it's so pressured, Lev, but I know you‘ll find a way to get the rest you need".
The first version (yours) puts you as the authority, telling him what to do. This detracts from his authority.
The second version (mine) puts him in charge and acknowledges his ability to sort things for himself. This adds to his authority.
I suggest the second version offers real support, which is always selfless.
My message came from my heart & my soul so excuse me if my message didn’t sit right with you.
I was trying to not come across as bossy. We all need to take care of each other right now, I care about you & I don’t even know you, however our paths have crossed. Peace is all I want ♥️
Outside of restacking, I feel
pretty neutered
No, no, no … No! Never feel neutered!!!
A million things each of us can do. Check back on what you’re good at. Then apply it to helping democracy and other people working for democracy.
Check out the Ukrainians— they are endlessly inventive about what they can do.
Project 2025 is only the outline. The playbook to create this chaos is spelled out in the paper written by Harlan Ullman and James Wade Jr. called SHOCK AND AWE - Achieving Rapid Dominance.
