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...
