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...
