—> After time because of poor behavior or other negative traits of those who are being referred to we find that the term eventually has taken on a negative connotation by those who are being referred to.

Here is an updated description from a conversation I had with a zeeperette just yesterday:

……..

Zeepers live in a bubble.

Emotional.
Nonobjective.
Incapable of critical thought.
Afraid of cognitive dissonance.
You filter out anything that contradicts with your narrative.
You are purposefully blind, tone deaf to certain frequencies.
Incapable of looking for evidence that contradicts what you already decided.

Interesting how the same monetized YouTube channels crop up in these threads, almost as if a coordinated marketing plan.

The whole Zeeper thing is most amusing, as one sees:

Z - as in Zelensky....

Z - also as in Zaluzhnyi...

So, you are labeling a man in his 50s who has been a professional airline pilot for years, a “draft dodger”...

Here is testimony from someone who knows him...

” My readers, I'm very proud to have a special man from Ukraine as one of our readers. His name is Denys Davydov. Before the war with Russia started, you might have boarded an international flight in Kyiv to fly to New York. Denys very well could have been the captain flying you to your destination.

When war broke out, Denys volunteered his services to the Ukraine Air Force. He was turned down because his skills were needed to get the airline industry going when the war is over.

Denys could have taken his wife and daughter and fled Ukraine. There is an acute worldwide shortage of qualified airline pilots like Denys. Even in the US where work permits are hard to come by, Denys would find himself flying for a US airline and making a great salary.

Denys decided to stay in his beloved home country. He started a podcast that is now watched all over the world. He gives daily reports on what is happening in Ukraine. He is accurate and balanced in his reporting. Last night, he had to take shelter in the basement of the house where he is staying. Air raid sirens had warned everyone to take cover. The Russians had fired many cruise missiles at civilian targets in his area. In the dark of the basement, Denys gave his report. It was an act of courage and self-sacrifice. Denys is a true patriot! He deserves our respect and admiration!!”

Of course, since your hero Zelensky does not allow any dissenting media and he would be immediately executed for his efforts if he was still in Ukraine ... he now lives in Switzerland.

Once again you have earned the moniker, Zeeper...

“ Denys could have taken his wife and daughter and fled Ukraine.”
********************************************

Actually, he did. Just sayin’.

I’m sure he’s more valuable to the Ukrainian government doing what he’s doing now instead of serving as target “practice” for Russian artillery crews.

I see that Denys is a mouth piece for Zelensky and your characterization is well deserved. He is typical of the people who promote this continued madness. Sorry I did not do my research before commenting..

Never mind these claims are completely unverified.

Meanwhile, on the actual battlefield, Ukraine's defense lines continue to collapse and Russia keeps making daily gains:

I’ve done the same thing myself, and most likely will do it again.

Thank you!

--- "https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/denys-davydov-a-true-ukrainian-patriot-jack-waldbewohner/"

Hey, there. Loved the link. This chap, Jack Waldbewohner posted on LinkedIn, with praise for Davydov. Some comments sampled below are quite amusing:

Dusan Skacel - 1mo - "Denys Davydov is not a Patriot nor a Hero but the Coward Fraud. Fleeing Ukraine through Romania dressed as a woman to avoid military draft he is living safely his parasitic life in Switzerland as a 'influencer' ...making up all stuff in his twisted posts to suit his purposes ...far away from the reality. Cherry picked events not having impact to the already lost war for Ukraine." More...

And....

Jim Richards - 1y - "I have watched many of Denys's videos over the past year but simply had to quit him. I became convinced that he is paid by Zelenskyy - with U.S. taxpayer money - to bring Ukrainian war propaganda to the Western world. Think Goebbels." More...

Some quasi-positive things too. But the idea of putting this into one's LinkedIn is odd.

Jack Waldbewohner -- a rather distinctive name -- and his own citation of Waldtrade respond to further examination. His Facebook account places him as to location: "Managing Director at Waltrade,cc October 2007 - Present · Pacifica, California

Of course, his LinkedIn also tells of location: "Managing Director-Waltrade,cc. Pacifica, California, United States."

Intesting. So Waltrade? Yeah, that's a website in California as well. https://www.waltradecc.com/

Waltrade,cc
3087 Elk Ridge Court
San Jose, Califonia 95136

The various realty sites -- Redfin, Zillow, Realtor, etc. -- show that address to be "3087 Elk Ridge Ct is a 1,012 square foot condo on a 436 square foot lot with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom." The address in Argentina, quite the same, a small-ish condo. And the address in South Africa? Without a street address. The "company history" is classic marketing -- https://www.waltradecc.com/companyHistory.html.

Bottom line? No connection to Ukraine nor Switzerland, even though Jack Waldbewohner claims Davydov is really only a "reader" of his blog. "My readers, I'm very proud to have a special man from Ukraine as one of our readers." That's it.

What adds to the strange picture, he references his blog, which Google says is no longer available. And his "portfolio," ostensibly in New Zealand, is defunct. Quite the financial advisor, eh?

M A R K E T I N G.

Sometimes it's interesting to pull back the curtain to see what's behind....

Best wishes.

Stolenburg from NATO walked back Macrons comments. Russia stated one single soldier from NATO will immediately trigger a Russia NATO War.

He said there were no plans by NATO to put troops in Ukraine.

Austin was just running his mouth, as evidenced by western MSM failure to carry his remarks.

Ukraine is going to have to negotiate with Russia and disarm. The end is in sight.

“I’m sure everyone is tired of parallels being drawn to the 1930’s, but I can’t help but see alarming similarities.”

In the 1930s the best way to understand what was to come was to read Adolph Hitler’s book Mein Kampf (My Struggle). To understand a potential for WW3, a valuable source is the book below.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundations_of_Geopolitics [This book by a man many call “Putin’s Brain” was published in 1997, and Putin has made it required reading in Russian military colleges. It lays out a step by step process for taking over all of Western Europe, and then moving on to the rest of the world. Very troubling is his recipe for destroying America:

“In the Americas, United States and Canada:

* Russia should use its special services within the borders of the United States and Canada to fuel instability and separatism against neoliberal globalist Western hegemony, such as, for instance, provoke “Afro-American racists” to create severe backlash against the rotten political state of affairs in the current present day system of the United States and Canada. Russia should “introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements – extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics”.[9]

Is this why the past decade has seemed especially maddening aand confusing in the US?

TRUTH: As I explained earlier both threads are entitled:

1. Original — “Shooting Down 11 Jets In 11 Days, Ukraine Nudges The Russian Air Force Closer To Organizational Death-Spiral” Posted on 3/1/2024, 8:24:58 PM by ChicagoConservative27

2 Duplicate— “Shooting Down 11 Jets In 11 Days, Ukraine Nudges The Russian Air Force Closer To Organizational Death-Spiral” Posted on 3/2/2024, 2:44:02 AM by UMCRevMom@aol.com

I asked if my article post could be pulled as some Freepers are voicing refusal to believe simple duplication mistake.
After my request, I posted this information to share with others on BOTH threads.
