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...
