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...
