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...
