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...
