Previously collected ice cores taken from a Tibetan glacier have revealed 28 new genera of viruses according to researchers from Ohio State University and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
A genus (plural genera) in biology encompasses multiple species. For example, Lions and Tigers (not bears) belong to the genus Panthera
The ice cores had not been protected from surface contamination when collected from the Guliya ice cap (northwestern Tibetan Plateau, China), so it was first necessary to establish "ultra-clean microbial and viral sampling procedures for glacier ice."
To ensure a pristine sample, the researchers, working in a freezer, first cut off some of the outer layer of each core sample. Each of the samples was then washed with ethanol to melt off approximately 0.2 inches of ice. Each was then washed again with sterile water to melt off another 0.2 inches of ice. The team also created test samples by repeating the same cleaning procedure on ice cores that had first been covered with known viruses and bacteria. The samples that remained were then deemed pristine and ready for study.
The study of the cores revealed a total of 33 groups of viruses with the majority previously unseen. The researchers note the importance of the work exposing the potential of melting glaciers to unleash deadly viruses.

That is the tactic. You play normal half the time and then the community allowed to be crazy a little bit. And most people seldom notice that a different person is behind the keyboard every other time, so the language changes drastically from post to post.
Shills(and all infiltration agents) establish credibilty, then test norms, rinse repeat. Slimy lateral power grabs, I call them.
Shills cannot stop being 50 percent shill and then all is ok, that is not how any of this works.
What shills do do however is go dormant, and then re-activate when they might be of use again.
Like when someone starts dropping some real knowledge and you just happen to have an account made a few years back with someone's last name, so you can just follow them around and shame them with every tactic. Which she has.
I am surprised it is still trying, it is so obvious at this point. What else happened on aug 10 2019?

You are one dumb fuck! You go all cry-baby when I point out the bullshit in one of your posts where you claim that people who work at Walmart are lower intelligence, lower education, no ambition and need to be "guided" by people like you, then get even more angry when I destroy your arguments by pointing out that many people don't have a choice of jobs in today's economy, and they don't need assholes like you stepping on their necks when their bosses are already doing that.
You claimed that calling out your bullshit is harassment.
So how do you explain this latest bullshit post of yours, as quoted above? Hypocrite much? You even tried to hide it by not replying directly. Stupid coward.
Anyone who reads your journal (and yes, I've copied the entries) - anyone with doubts about your sanity can start here [soylentnews.org].
Now what I am curious about is why you had to flee the United States so quickly, borrowing $3k from your relatives to help you flee the country. Can't be legal debts - bankruptcy doesn't cost that much and won't leave you sleeping in a car in Germany getting all paranoid because someone else is sleeping in a van on the other side of the parking lot and OMG they have an antenna!
Sure sounds like you owe someone who tends to use a baseball bat to collect. Or you fucked with the wrong people and had to leave the country "for health reasons." Or you're just batshit crazy. But these options are certainly not mutually exclusive ...
So, given how quickly you ended up in Germany, my guess is you're on a visitor's visa. That would certainly explain why you want to be paid in cryptocurrency. And now you actually have a reason to be paranoid. I won't drop the hammer right away - I want you to sweat a bit first. Actually that's not true - I want you to sweat a LOT.
You keep thinking everything is about you. Well, congrats, this time it is :-)
My guess is you didn't think I'd notice this post. You thought wrong. Not because I was looking for it, but because it's just easier to scroll through all responses to a story than to check for responses from the message system. I've noticed other similar posts, and ignored them, but not this time, you pipsqueak.
You've posted one lie too many and now it's payback time. And I for one intend to enjoy it. Judging from the comments of others in your journal, they will too.
Allow me to quote Buffalo Springfield:
... though this may be more appropriate [songfacts.com]
... one day you will get a knock at the door ... could be under the guise of a wellness check, or immigration, or a survey ... but we will both know what's really happening. Just our little secret :-)
