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...
