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...
