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...
