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...
