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...
