OPERATION  CONTRASTING VALKYRIE    
      IN  THE SIXTIES.  THE CENTRAL   
  INTELLIGENCE AGENCY  "CIA" RELEASE  
   AEROSOLIZED  SELATENINE  OVER  A   
   JUPITER EQUINOX CONCERT, CREATING  
  THE LARGEST SECRET PARADIGM SHIFT   
  THAT THE  WORLD HAS EVER  SEEN.   
  
                                          
 THE  JUPITER EQUINOX* CONCERT IS PART OF 
 A  FESTIVAL IN BLACK TICKLE  ARRANGED BY 
 A GROUP CALLED  EPICENTER OF LOVE. THERE 
 IS   NO   ENTRANCE   BUT   VISITORS  ARE 
 EXPECTED TO HELP WITH MAINTENANCE.  FOOD 
 AND  DRINK  IS SHARED.  MANY  BANDS  ARE 
 PLAYING OVER THE FOUR DAY COURSE  OF THE 
 FESTIVAL, AND THE  STAGE IS OPEN BETWEEN 
 SCHEDULED   CONCERTS.   JUPITER EQUINOX, 
 WHILE AN UNKNOWN ACT, HAS  A PRESTIGIOUS 
 TIMESLOT AT EIGHT IN THE EVENING  ON THE 
 THIRD  DAY,  WHICH  IS  FRIDAY.       
                                          
 EIGHT IS  ALSO WHEN THE  PLANE  USED  TO 
 SPREAD   THE  AEROSOL   LIFTS  OFF.   IT 
 ARRIVES AT  THE FESTIVAL ABOUT A QUARTER 
 PAST,  SOUND   MASKED  BY  THE  CONCERT. 
 AROUND    WHEN   THE   FIRST   WAVE   OF 
 SELATENINE   MUST   HAVE   REACHED   THE 
 AUDIENCE,  THE SONG COMES TO A TENSE BUT 
 QUIET  MOVEMENT,  AND  THE  LEAD  SINGER 
 WALKS  TO   THE  FRONT   OF  THE  STAGE. 
                                          
 SHE  SAYS, WITH A  CRYSTALLINE VOICE: "I 
 HAVE SOMETHING TO  TELL YOU. I  AM NOT A 
 HUMAN  BEING.  I  AM  NOT AN ANIMAL OR A 
 PLANT.  I HAVE BEEN SENT  TO  DELIVER  A 
 MESSAGE TO YOU.  A  MESSAGE OF HOPE. YOU 
 ARE  NOT  ALONE. THERE ARE  OTHER BEINGS 
 IN  THE  UNIVERSE.  THERE  IS  LIFE  OUT 
 THERE,  LIFE  THAT  IS  REACHING  OUT  A 
 HAND. AND IT'S  TIME TO TAKE  THAT HAND. 
 TO REACH OUT TOWARD THAT  HAND AND  GRAB 
 IT IT. IT IS TIME TO COME HOME.  YOU ARE 
 GOING  HOME.   YOU   ARE  GOING   HOME." 
                                          
 THE  SINGER  STANDS   THERE  FOR  A  FEW 
 MOMENTS,  HER HAND  RAISED IN  THE  AIR, 
 BEFORE THE  REST  OF THE  BAND  KICKS IN 
 AND  THE  MUSIC BUILDS TO  A  CRESCENDO. 
 THE CROWD  ERUPTS.  AND  THEN  SOMETHING 
 ELSE  ERUPTS  AS  WELL.  A  CONCERT-GOER 
 DESCRIBES   IT:  "SUDDENLY,   THE  MUSIC 
 SEAMS  BROADER,  MORE  COLORFUL.  I  CAN 
 SOMEHOW  SEE IT,  AND I FEEL  THE OTHERS 
 SEEING IT,  AND I SEE  IT THROUGH  THEIR 
 EYES  AS WELL.  MEANWHILE  I'M  DANCING, 
 AND  I CAN FEEL  MY BODY  AS  I'VE NEVER 
 DONE  BEFORE, I AM  AWARE OF  EACH  CELL 
 AND  EACH  MOLECULE,  ALL  VIBRATING  IN 
 UNISON.  AND  IT'S  ALL  GOING   FASTER, 
 BUILDING  UP  TO  SOMETHING, WAKING UP." 
                                          
 PEOPLE  START  FORMING  CIRCLES, HOLDING 
 HANDS  AND  DANCING.  SOME  ARE  CRYING. 
 SOME  ARE LAUGHING.  SOME ARE SCREAMING. 
                                          
 AND  THEN -  A FLUTTER -  AND  SOMETHING 
 GIVES.   A   SHOCKWAVE   OF    REVERSING 
 POLARITY   IN  THE   ETHER,   AND   LIKE 
 BUTTERFLIES GETTING  HIT BY  A  BURST OF 
 WIND,  THE THIRD EYE  OPENS FOR EVERYONE 
 IN THE AUDIENCE.  AND IT BECOMES A CHAIN 
 REACTION,  QUICKLY  SPREADING ACROSS THE 
 FESTIVAL  AREA. WITHIN SECONDS  THERE IS 
 A   GLOBAL  BLACKOUT.   FESTIVAL   GOERS 
 REGAIN  THEIR  MEMORIES  AROUND  A  WEEK 
 LATER,  THOSE  IN  THE  NEARBY  TOWN  OF 
 BLACK TICKLE  AFTER   A  FEW  DAYS,   IN 
 MONTREAL  FOR  THE EVENING,  THE REST OF 
 AMERICA  MAYBE  AN  HOUR.           
                                          
 AND   THUS,  THE  POPULATION  OF   EARTH 
 HAS  KIND  OF  LEFT  IT'S  MATERIALISTIC 
 BASELINE,   ONLY  THAT   MOST   DO   NOT 
 REMEMBER                             IT. 
                                          
                                          
  
  * THERE'S AN INTERESTING ASPECT TO  
   THE  "JUPITER EQUINOX"  ACT.  IT   
   SEEMS  THERE   WAS   NEVER  ANY    
  JUPITER EQUINOX CONCERTS BEFORE OR  
  AFTER THE ONE IN BLACK TICKLE. THE  
   LEAD SINGER  (ALSO  COLLOQUIALLY   
  REFERRED TO AS JUPITER)  SEEMED TO  
  IMMEDIATELY DISAPPEAR (FOR A LONG   
  WHILE SHE WAS THOUGHT TO HAVE BEEN  
   A  CIA AGENT, BUT A  LATER  FOIA   
  RELEASE REFUTED THIS). FOR OBVIOUS  
  REASONS, MANY WERE LOOKING FOR ANY  
   TRACE  OF  THE  BAND,  BUT  NONE   
   WERE FRUITFUL.                     
                                      
  RECENTLY, HOWEVER, SOME  ATTENTION  
  HAS BEEN DRAWN TO JUNIPER HELDING,  
  A SIXTEEN YEAR OLD POP SINGER FROM  
  ENGLAND WHO  HAS  A  VERY STRIKING  
   SIMILARITY...
