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...
