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...
